The Life Matrix

Introduction

If we look at our personal history it becomes obvi-

ous that there are __________________

_________________ of behavior, occurrences and

events.

We tend to have the same __________________

over and over again.

We tend to experience certain levels of success

and then we hit the “_____________________

____________ _________________.”

We occasionally ___________ beyond those bound-

aries.

There may have been occasional, inexplicable

times that you _____________ out of one or

more of these patterns before it was able to do its

ultimate damage, but those times tend to be

__________ and ______________________ to

recreate!

When we move past our ____________________

one of three things will happen:

We will feel extremely __________________.

We will experience something that causes us to

fall back within the realm of our ___________.

We adjust our life _______________________

and grow to support our new quality of life.

prohibited.

Our initial reaction to ________________________

is to put our _____________ in the wrong place.

Usually we focus on some _________________

________________________ to explain these

seemingly random, yet similar events.

Because we believe these things come at us from

an _________________ source we take on a

__________________ posture.

We feel there is really nothing we can do except

_________ for the next ______________ and

hope to minimize the ___________________.

At first glance these recurring situations do not seem

to be _______________________.

Since they seem to come from an outside source,

it is _______________________ to identify cau-

sality.

We are tempted to see ourselves as ___________

in a world ________________________ against

us.

“The mind that created the problem cannot

identify or solve the problem.”

~ James B. Richards

The ____________ of these repetitive patterns is

_________________________.

The ____________________ mind can never win

over the ________________________ mind.

This is why experience always wins over an

argument.

The subconscious can be the _____________ of

it can be _________________ memories.

Because we attempt to use our

the issue we ____________ see the light.

“Using the same mindset to solve a problem

that created the problem only leads to more

of the problem”. ~ James B. Richards

What has occurred in your life is a very easy phe-

nomenon to understand if you ___________

__________ ____________.

When we trust God’s Word and apply God’s pro-

cess we will discover the secret to

___________________ and _________________

your life into healthy, ______________________

patterns.

It will be positive, painless, _______________

and effortless.

This is what you will learn to do in this semi-

nar.

In this seminar you will:

Discover the _________ _____________: the

_________________________ that causes all of

these things to happen.

Learn and participate in exercises that will put an

end to ______________________ patterns.

Gain insight into why some people seem to stum-

ble _________________ into _______________

Identify the core hierarchy that ______________

all of your ________________, emotions and

Identify Your Core Beliefs

Our _________ beliefs are those beliefs of the

____________ that define and create all the

__________________________ and potential

__________________ in our life.

Our core beliefs create a paradigm that

_______________________ how we see our-

selves and how we _____________________

the world around us.

How we interpret the world determines if we per-

ceive _______________________________ or

_______________.

Both have the possibility for

_________________ or ________________.

The way we _________ ourselves in the world

determines which probability we perceive.

If life ___________ hard or easy it _________

be hard or easy.

The list of opposing possible views is endless, but we

must come to accept this reality:

The potential for success and failure is not based

on the world around me but on my

___________________________ of the world

around me. My interpretation of the world around

me is the product of my ____________

Ecclesiastes 9:11, I returned and saw under

the sun that — the race is not to the swift,

Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to

the wise, Nor riches to men of understand-

ing, Nor favor to men of skill; but time and

chance happen to them all.

This Scripture helps us understand that there is

a ____________ driving the outcome of our

efforts ________________ our intellect, skill

or effort.

___________________________ is available

to all, the question is: do I ________________

opportunity for me?

The _________________ hierarchy is the Life Ma-

trix.

Our _______________ create an internal hierar-

chy that ____________ our Life Matrix.

As a result of our Life Matrix every

______________ we have ever made and will

ever make will be made from a combination of

these two factors: view of __________ and view

of the _____________. This is our Life Matrix.

Our view of self is determined by our source.

Let’s start by defining “matrix” and what this

means to your life.

An ___________________________ of parts that

show how they are interconnected

When you understand your Life Matrix you

will see how all the ________________ of

your life are ___________________________.

A substance in which something is

_______________________ or enclosed

According to Proverbs your life has boundaries

which are both your ____________________ of

self and your perception of the world around you.

In other words, it is the _________ embedded

in your own heart, but it is also the _________

boundaries in which you are ______________.

A ________________________ or set of cir-

cumstances that ______________ or encour-

ages the origin, development or growth of

something

Because of core beliefs your life is on a specific

course. According to Jesus, you will __________

________________ __________ of what you’ve

got, whether you like it or want it!

Example:

Why do certain things __________ happening

to me over and over?

Why do I keep getting involved with the same

____________ of people?

Why do I _________ for the same ________

over and over?

The internal hierarchy forms the ____________

through which you see and interpret the world

around you, make every decision and

_________________________ every outcome.

Session 2

The Internal Hierarchy

The Law of Duplication

Many people have experienced terrible disap-

pointment by meticulously copying others but

still not getting the __________ _____________.

The Law of _____________________ says do

_______________ what someone else has done

and you will have the ____________ outcome.

We’ve all heard it said, “Find someone who has

made a million dollars and do what they did and

you will make a million dollars.”

We all know this _________________ always

happen.

Behavior vs Belief

___________________ determine general

__________________________, character deter-

mines __________________ behavior and

___________________________ determines

_____________________________ actions in a

_________________________ setting.

In light of all the variables it is possible to

_____________________ successful behavior or

even Scripture with different ________________

and not have a ____________________ outcome.

The Law of ________________________ is only

true if you ____________________ the same as the

person you are seeking to emulate.

NOTES



prohibited.

We have all done what someone else did and

_________ _________ get the results they got.

We assume they __________ to us or the product

they sold us is bogus; but the truth is, we are all

so vastly __________________ that duplication

is very ____________________ when making

_________________________________ and

____________________ decisions.

You can only do what I do the _______ I do it if you

___________________ what I ________________.

______________ of the _____________ (which

make up our internal hierarchy)

______________________________ everything

about our life. They:

___________________ the ___________ of

our body, determining our _____________

Alter our __________________________ of

ourselves

Alter our perception of the ______________

around us

Send ________________ _______________

to the people around us

The ____________ seeks to ___________ your

____________________ and the __________

seeks to protect your ________. Your

____________ releases ____________________

into your body to make you __________ based

on which of these you choose to listen.

Different Types of Beliefs

When most of us think of our ______________

we immediately think about

NOTES

“There is only one

corner of the universe

you can be certain

of improving, and that's

your own self.”

_________________________ beliefs.

Individual beliefs are what we _____________

about a __________________ subject, event or

anything ________________ of ourselves.

The _____________________

What kind of person will make me a good

__________________?

What do I believe about the _______________

of ________ in a particular situation?

When beliefs about individual subjects do not

____________________ we…

Seldom realize that _________ ____________

supersede and ________________ the out-

come of _________________________ beliefs

Individual beliefs usually fail because of core

beliefs.

Core beliefs form the _________ _____________

around which all ____________________ are

made and all individual beliefs are

___________________.

What does “qualified” mean?

To qualify an individual belief we must

__________________________ if we are

________________ to have that belief come to

pass, worthy to experience that level of

_________________, worthy of that person’s

__________ or worthy of __________

________________________.

The sense of _______________________

emerges from the _________________

__________________.

NOTES



prohibited.

When our individual beliefs exceed our sense of

________________________ one of three things

will happen:

We will _____________________ ourselves.

We will reach our goal and then ________-

________________________.

We will expand our ____________________

by ________________________ our beliefs.

Self-imposed Boundaries

Keep your __________ with all diligence; for

out of it spring the _______________ of life

(Proverbs 4:23).

The Hebrew word translated as ____________

also means ______________________.

Therefore, all _______________________

boundaries result from the ________________

of the ____________, the internal hierarchy.

Our individual boundaries are not

_________________ from the ______________.

There is no one to _______________.

No one else needs to ________________ for

my life to ___________________.

The one thing over which I have absolute

__________________ is my ______________.

The ____________ is the seat of our

___________________; therefore, beliefs of the

heart (which create our boundaries and

__________________________) are always

based on what we _________________ about

____________________. Only when we

_________________ what we believe about our-

NOTES



prohibited.

selves can we follow through on our

________________________ beliefs.

Therefore, based on our Life Matrix we will:

_____________ what we have always decided

____________ what we have always accepted

Trust the same __________ of _____________

In short, we will ____________ our

____________________ patterns over and

over again because all of our life choices are

based on our ________ ____________, i.e.

core beliefs.

Making Decisions and the Life Matrix

Every _______________ we make passes

through a series of filters. The filters represent

our internal hierarchy which produces our overall

________________ of ________!

Based on what has been __________________

on our ___________ about these four aspects of

self, every decision, hope or dream will either be

declined or passed on until it goes through the

entire internal hierarchy.

__________________, Self-________________,

Self-____________________ and Self-

internal hierarchy.

We are created to look outside ourselves to an-

“The key is to keep company

_________ am I?

Who do I need to be in order to be

_______________________?

What makes me feel _________________?

The idea is that we would look to _________ for our

_______________________ and He would become

our ___________________.

_______________ has made it almost impossible

for people to find _________________________

from God.

Let’s discuss these four internal factors:

Identity: Who am I?

We all look for a person or group that will

___________________ us with whom to

______________________.

This is why people join ___________,

churches, clubs, _____________________

groups, etc.

We can never discover our identity

______________. We constantly look for

feedback from an outside source.

Once we find someone with whom to identify

we want their __________________________.

Our self-_______________ emerges from

their approval.

Even loners identify with someone; it may

even be a fictional character.

Self-image

In order to gain ____________________ I

___________________________ myself to

become like the sources of my identity.

NOTES



prohibited.

I change my image to ________ ____ and

find continued acceptance.

I dress the way they dress.

If they have tattoos I will have a tattoo.

If they drink and smoke I will drink and

smoke.

If they are violent I will become violent.

I will become like them in order to be

_____________________________ and

_________________.

Self-worth

As I alter my image I will _______________

my worth by their ____________________.

Self-worth is the ______________________

______________.

Agape: to ___________________, to hold

in high _______________________, to

__________________

Love is actually _________________ or

______________.

We feel loved to the degree we feel

_____________, i.e. ____________________,

held in high esteem by those to whom we look

for ______________________________.

The ____________ that is given to me from

my source of _____________________ is the

value, worth, worthiness and love I will have

for _________________.

_________________________ is a direct

__________________________ of self-worth.

I will do what I need to in order to be valued

What they value becomes what I value.

Immorality, violence and all destructive be-

havior is driven by the _________ to

_____________ my identity and gain

_______________________ and self-worth.

_______________________ determines self-

confidence.

Self-confidence

There are two aspects of self-confidence.

The natural aspect of self-confidence is based on

how we ______________ _________________

on _____________.

When we fail to follow through on tasks we

become ________ __________________ to

launch into new endeavors because we believe

we will _______ before we reach the benefits.

Our cellular memories ___________________

how long we will try something before

____________________. When that becomes

our _________________ we will find that we

only _________________ to that time period

and then we quit.

If you start and quit many things you’ll eventual-

ly _________ the _________________ to try.

Why?

Your __________ _________________ says

This is where people begin to create

__________________ beliefs as a way to

_______________________ their behavior,

thereby maintaining a __________ self-worth.

They will ___________________________

seek those who share these _______________

beliefs in order to _________________ the

needs of the _______________ hierarchy.

Some people naturally have more difficulty

with _______________-_________________.

Learn to manage your decisions.

Don’t __________ anything that you will

not _________________ to the ______.

Say _____ to _______________ that others

make of you.

When you pray for something, __________

_________ until you _________ in your

heart that it is __________.

Then, there is the godly aspect of self-confidence.

As He is so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).

In this world Jesus was

__________ personified

God’s __________ personified

___________________________ personified

The way we __________ others affects our

self-confidence.

According to the Apostle John, we are only like

Him when we _________ in _________.

When we do not walk in love it

Our ____________ points out that our

Even though God is _______________ than

effect.

We lose ________________________ be-

We cannot _________________ from God.

Receive: take __________ of and

Creating Your Personal Identity

The strategies of the devil (______________) are

We entertain his iniquitous, _______________

Adam’s vulnerability to ____________________

All of our _______________________ will emerge

Here are the questions related to identity:

Am I who _________ says I am or

Am I who I __________________ I am?

How will I ___________ I am who I say I am?

How you answer these questions will

______________________ your _______________

How you answer these questions will determine

Just as ________ derived his ________________

Our ______ is initially programmed from the

With the discovery of __________________

We are not ____________ with the original

We can be who we _________ to be. We will be

The Mystery of Believing on Jesus in Your Heart

When we came to Jesus we were told to

With the heart man believes unto righteous-

Because your heart is the ________ of your iden-

When you ___________________ in your

The Illusionary Self

Putting on the ________ __________ is anytime

we entertain any sense of self

Once we ____________________ with whom we

will __________________ we want their

We begin to put on the identity that will make

Remember, where we get our

_________________ becomes our

____________ of self-worth.

According to Kenneth Wuest, worth, love and value

are synonymous.

The Greek word for God’s love, ___________,

means to ___________, to hold in high

_____________ and to consider _____________.

This is how God feels about, sees and treats us

even when we were yet __________________.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us,

in that while we were still sinners, Christ died

for us. Much more then, having now been justi-

fied by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath

through Him (Romans 5:8-9).

This is the root of the gospel: ________

__________ ______.

The message of an ___________ God is _______

the gospel and it is not _____________.

The degree to which we ___________ loved is the

degree that we feel valuable, i.e. worthy.

We were created to get our ____________ from

_________________ of ourselves.

The plan was we would __________ _____

________ and realize that our Creator has great

value for us.

The value we _________________ He has for us

Because of the way we were created we look to the

one with whom we _________________ because

we want them to ___________ us.

We begin to take on the _______________ we

perceive of them as a means of

_______________________.

Once we have determined who we ____________

they are on both conscious and subconscious lev-

We want to talk like they talk and look like

Look at the __________ _______________

Seeing God as He is, is the key to true identity.

Behold what manner of love the Father has be-

and it has not yet been revealed what we shall

be, but we know that when He is revealed, we

And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies

We are children and __________ of God

______________________ means to make

“When He is __________________” is not a ref-

There is _____ other representation,

To the degree we ______ and ______________

________ comes from the same word that is

In the Old Testament any time you see the

all of which refer to _____________________.

The most common is _______________.

According to Jesus, the only way to ___________

the continued ______________ in your life is to

Biblical _________________________ is

Since God is a __________ _______ all truth

The more we _____ God through the ____________

If He is the __________________ of our identity

The Secret of Self-Worth

The _______________________ have worked from

bad you are so you will realize how much you need

Religionist: Someone who attempts to

humanistic philosophy, false _______________

or political correctness are the basis for interpret-

teaching, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

Luciferian doctrine: any doctrine that has its basis

in interpreting God any way other than represent-

resurrection of Jesus.

The Gospel (good news) is God loved you so much

He sent His only begotten Son so you could

in Him.

Paul said it is the gospel of peace that causes people

to have faith, i.e. trust for God.

You _______________ _________ the one you

fear. Fear is the antithesis of faith. The two are

mutually exclusive.

We need have no fear of someone who loves us

perfectly; his perfect love for us eliminates all

dread of what he might do to us. If we are

afraid, it is for fear of what he might do to us

and shows that we are not fully convinced that

he really loves us. So you see, our love for him

comes as a result of his loving us first (1 John

4:18, TLB).

Religionists make people _____________

Faith, love and worship are _________________ to

Session 8

Putting On the New Man

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that

you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gen-

tiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their

understanding darkened, being alienated from the

life of God, because of the ignorance that is in

them, because of the blindness of their heart; who,

being past feeling, have given themselves over to

lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greedi-

ness.

But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you

have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as

the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning

your former conduct, the old man which grows

corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be

renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you

put on the new man which was created accord-

ing to God, in true righteousness and holiness

(Ephesians 4:17-24).

Becoming a new creation happens the moment we

believe and respond in faith (trust).

Living in our new identity, i.e. nature, character

and righteousness is not automatic.

The new man is righteous: the righteousness of

Christ.

NOTES



prohibited.

Therefore, our lives should look like His. We

should embrace His interpretation and application

of all that God has ever and will ever speak.

When we look at Him and believe (trust) that we

can do everything He did, live the way He lived

and share in His victories we can begin to put on

the new man.

This has to be a choice made in our faith in Christ

and His “in Him” realities.

The main thing we were saved from was ourselves.

By living a life based on our old identity (nature)

we created every problem.

Failure to put on our new identity guarantees the

continuation of our life’s problems and conflicts.

The only way to break the repeated patterns in

our life is to put on the new man by applying the

truths you have learned in this seminar.

Most counseling will teach you how to manage your

behavior, which has some benefit.

You don’t need to manage your old identity; you

need to lay it in the grave.

Water baptism is the place and time we make a

conscious choice to acknowledge (confess) the

death of our old man and the resurrection of our

new man.

Communion is a time when we reconnect with

what we share with Jesus through His death, buri-

al and resurrection.

Prayer is the place where we daily (and some-

times moment-by-moment) reconcile the areas of

our life that are not harmonious with our new

NOTES



prohibited.

identity in Christ.

There are keys to effectively putting on and walking

in our new, righteous identity.

As we read the Gospels we should envision our-

selves doing everything Jesus did. Live every

event in your mind until it is your reality and your

life.

Based on Jesus’ model we should pray and recon-

cile the difference between our current life and

the life we choose.

Create your own vision.

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off

restraint (Proverbs 29:18).

The word “vision” can mean “a vision from God”

or “a vision we create through a clear mental pic-

ture.”

When we have a clear mental picture we have

restraint to protect us from those things that

would lead us in another direction and motivation

to stay on the path we have chosen.

The reason most people miss the target of their

true identity and the quality of life offered by

God is we never create a target, i.e. a clear mental

picture of what we have chosen.

When we choose a particular identity or destina-

tion everything in us moves us to that end.

The walk of faith and grace

Every aspect of this new life is a work of grace

taken hold of by faith (trusting God) (Ephesians

2:8).

NOTES



prohibited.

Grace is the power, ability and capacity that

comes by divine favor and works in our heart to

make us able.

When we believe any aspect of the truth in our

heart grace works.

Getting the truth into our heart is a process.

For the characteristics of the “God kind of faith” we

have to:

Choose the end from the beginning.

Conceptualize the end in our heart.

Believe and experience the end.

Speak to the situation.

Deal with doubt (wavering).

All of these characteristics of faith are based on

Mark 11:22-24 and the account of Creation.

These aspects of the faith of God have to be more

than a mere religious check list; they must be-

come the way we approach all of life’s issues.

We are now going to create the target - the picture

of you that you choose to put on.

This is what I call an “Emotional Character

Sketch.”

We are going to describe the “new me” in very

specific behavior and emotions.

We will observe the laws for writing on our heart.

Everything we choose will be expressed as:

Personal: there is no generalization. This is not

about us; this is about me.

Positive: we will focus on the end result - the

truth of our true identity.

Present tense: we will only acknowledge these

NOTES



prohibited.

attributes as being real in this moment.

We will use every capacity to feel the attrib-

utes of love, thankfulness and celebration.

All that we choose will be something Jesus ob-

tained and we share with Him through the New

Covenant.

Now let’s describe the new man while simultane-

ously identifying traits of the old man.

You can use the space provided in the workbook

or you can make notes on your mobile device.

List the top ten things you do that offends oth-

ers or that you want to get rid of in your cur-

rent behavior.

Write the exact opposite trait or attribute.

I feel angry – I am joyful.

I am fearful – I am bold and confident.

I tend to snap at people – I am patient and

kind.

What emotion would you need to feel in order

to express the positive trait?

We will discuss examples of how to do this based

on characteristics presented by the group.

Select the traits and write a biographical sketch

of yourself starting with how you feel when

you awaken and how you will feel and behave

throughout the day with your new choices and

feelings.

Write Your Emotional Character Sketch

You may refine it as time goes by.

Read it every morning in a meditative manner.

Internally choose to live in this identity.

NOTES



prohibited.

Commit yourself to the grace of God.

Night exercise

Come up with one word that best describes how

you want to feel emotionally.

Using the rules of influencing the heart, write one

short sentence expressing thanksgiving that you

experience this characteristic.

Example: Thank You, Father, that I am always

filled with joy.

Thank You, Father, I am filled with confi-

dence.

Thank you, Father, that I am always an over-

comer.

Keep a special notebook and pen beside your bed.

About 15 minutes before you think you’re going

to sleep write your sentence three times, then go

to sleep.

Always write in cursive, i.e. long-hand.

Why this Works

As you are getting sleepy your brainwaves slow

down putting you in a meditative state.

Writing in cursive involves your nervous system

in a way that bypasses your critical conscience,

keeping your brain from blocking it as a reality.

When you sleep you go through three different

phases of dreams.

The first third of the night you are eliminating

meaningless clutter.

The second third of the night your dreams will be

more precognitive.

You will have dreams that symbolize you do-

NOTES



prohibited.

ing and being what you wrote before going to

sleep.

This is why it’s important not to sleep with

the television on.

Sometimes the version of you in your dream

is so shocking it will awaken you. You will

only remember the dream for a few seconds.

You don’t have to remember them to make

them come to pass.

The last third of the night you have venting

dreams.

Your venting dreams will be about attributes

that would hinder you from fulfilling what you

dreamed earlier.

These are usually the crazy dreams we have

just before waking. Sometimes they are so bi-

zarre we think we need deliverance. But the

dreams are not literal and they are not what

you want. This is your mind and heart attempt-

ing to release (vent) those things that hold you

back.

When you awaken after one of these dreams

immediately use your authority. “I release all

that is meant by this dream and I choose to live

my personal goals.”

Do this every night until the attribute you are

writing becomes your absolute reality or until you

have a release in your heart.

Then choose other areas of your life to apply this

process.

NOTES



prohibited.

Now, write your sentence.

Session 9

The Great Exchange

In this session there are no blanks. Write your own

notes; capture what is speaking to your heart!

Let’s review

Remember we can only grasp truth within the para-

dox.

We are applying eternal truth in a temporary

world.

We are seeking to apply God’s Word from the

motive of love.

Within each truth is a paradox which means keep-

ing our heart open to the Holy Spirit.

Example: I am saved and I am being saved. I am

righteous and I am putting on righteousness.

We are walking in guiding principles of the mystery

of the Kingdom of God.

A mystery is something hidden and revealed in stag-

es.

The next stage only becomes apparent with the

full comprehension and dedication to the current

stage.

The Kingdom of God is a mystery (Mark 4:11).

Christ in you is a mystery (Colossians 1:27).

The wisdom of God is a mystery (1 Corinthians

2:7).

Faith is a mystery (1Timothy 3:9).

NOTES



prohibited.

Godliness is a mystery (1 Timothy 3:16).

Lawlessness is a mystery (2 Thessalonians 2:7).

When we take the step that is before us the next step

will become evident.

As I apply in faith the truth I do know I will discov-

er the truth I do not yet know.

I can only manifest in the natural realm what my

heart has taken hold of in the Kingdom realm.

Example:

John 1:12, But as many as received Him, to

them He gave the right to become children of

God, to those who believe in His name:

Received: lambano; take hold of and bring to

one’s self

Right: authority

Believers have the authority to live as sons and

heirs of God.

If they do not use their authority that will not

manifest what is legally given.

Legally all the inheritance becomes ours the

moment we receive Jesus, functionally they are

all apprehended by faith.

The finished work of Jesus is one of the great para-

doxes.

Jesus’ work is finished, ours isn’t.

We attempt to make eternal realities fit into our

finite concepts of time and space.

There is a serious error floating through the body of

Christ today that says:

Since Jesus already reconciled the world to

God the entire world is in Christ.

NOTES



prohibited.

First and foremost, this error ignores the hun-

dreds of Scriptures which teach that every per-

son enters into Christ by his or her own faith.

It ignores the logos principle: any logos cannot

contradict any other logos.

It also tries to interpret an eternal reality in the

temporal concepts of time and space with natu-

ral thinking.

God’s work is eternal, it has no time.

God doesn’t dwell in the realm of time.

But we experience God’s truth in our sense of

time.

Even though Jesus has completed His part of the

exchange we haven’t until we believe, confess

and receive.

Even though all men’s sins have been paid for, not

all men are saved.

Even though Christ died for all, not all men are in

Christ.

Jesus used His faith to win all the battles. We use

our faith to believe we are in Him and share in

those victories.

We have been reconciled.

What it means to be reconciled to God

The word “reconcile” means “to buy back, to

trade two things of equal value, an exchange”

The exchange began at the cross

Isaiah 53

2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Therefore, if anyone is in

Christ, he is a new creation; old things have

NOTES



prohibited.

passed away; behold, all things have become

new.

We are a new creation by birth, even when it isn’t

manifesting.

18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled

us to Himself through Jesus Christ,

All these things were initiated by God because of

His great love for man.

…and has given us the ministry of reconciliation

There would be no ministry of reconciliation if all

men were in Christ.

19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the

world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to

them, and has committed to us the word of recon-

ciliation.

Man’s trespasses are not imputed to them because

they were imputed to Jesus.

This is the basis for the Covenant of Peace.

Our message should be one of reconciliation:

what God has done to buy us back and give us the

life He always desired for us to have.

Jesus used His faith to conquer death, Hades, the

grave and the devil and to take hold of resurrection

life.

His work is finished.

We take hold of and bring this to ourselves

through our faith.

Entering the exchange by faith

20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ,

as though God were pleading through us: we

“God wants a heart relationship

with me based on trust.”

~ James B. Richards

implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled

to God.

Jesus already reconciled the world.

But Paul was begging the non-believer to enter

into the exchange.

21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be

sin for us, that we might become the righteous-

ness of God in Him.

This is the essence of the exchange.

This only occurs by believing the truth about

the death, burial and resurrection and confess-

ing Jesus as Lord.

Then each aspect of the exchange is walked

into daily, moment by moment, event by event,

decision by decision and thought by thought.

The place of the exchange: communion

That the communication of thy faith may be-

come effectual by the acknowledging of every

good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus

(Philemon 6).

Communication: koinania, when two people

share together what only one actually owns

Effectual: active, operative: “activity" or

"energy", causing something to happen to be at

work, "to act or start to act,"

Acknowledging: gnosis, experiencing

We must enter into our *HeartZone and experi-

ence all the good things we have as a result of

being in Christ.

This is where we become one with Jesus.

This is where we wrap ourselves around, become

entwined with and become one with Christ.

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew

their strength; They shall mount up with wings

like eagles, They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).

Communion is not connecting with the information,

but connecting with the One who made the infor-

mation real.

It has to be the joining of information and emo-

tion.

It must be the place we experience our new iden-

tity as being real at this moment.

Everything you have learned in the seminar is a pic-

ture of what you can become, a light showing you

the path, but this information is not life.

Jesus is the life and the life is the light of man

(John 1:4).
