Christmas is the Miracle
Belonging House Fellowship
God delights in you. God is coming to earth, not as conqueror or warrior. God is coming to earth in peace with love, delight, and favor. Heaven is invading earth and it is an invasion of favor.

Faith and Reality
Belonging House Fellowship
This is why when we make scriptural declarations we see so much happen in people's lives. When we declare scriptural truth, even if that truth is not yet reality for us, we begin to see movement from our broken reality into God's reality. The incarnation is everything. Jesus came into a broken world and said I am salvation I am God with you. I am close and I can bring the life and love of God into your broken reality and bring salvation. That word salvation means healing, wholeness, shalom, transformation and blessing. And so we declare salvation over situations. You can support Belonging...

Fulfillment: How to receive the answer to your prayer.
Belonging House Fellowship
What do you do when the fulfilment comes and it is not what you expected? There is a back side to the forerunner calling and we need to talk about it. God is fulfilling promises right now in our community, and it is important to understand a core piece of God's fulfillment. Most people miss the day of their visitation and the day of the fulfillment because they are expecting one thing and God does another. God fulfills the word and the promise but it does not look like what we expected. And when this happens people either get...

Prepare the Way for the Lord
Belonging House Fellowship
In Scripture there is really only one forerunner, John the Baptist. His message can be broken down into four parts: 1.Prepare the Way for the coming of the Lord. 2. Change your thinking. 3. Produce works that show you have changed. 4. He must increase and I must decrease: when he comes turn to him and be filled with the Holy Spirit. ______ You can support Belonging House at https://belonginghouse.betterworld.org or buymeacoffee.com/christjohnotto.

What is and What will be: Processing the Prophetic
Belonging House Fellowship
The prophetic word is the end from the beginning. If God gives you a word, He is telling you how things are going to work out. It is designed to give you prophetic hope. Hope keeps you going. A lot of people live in what is or what was. They live in what their eyes tell them about now, or the illusion of their experience in the past. And out of this, they get trapped in a poverty mindset with no possibilities or options. The Lord lives in what is and what will be. #Advent #BelongingHouse #Prophetic #ListentoGod You can find out more at ...

The Harlot and the Glory
Belonging House Fellowship
We are not living in ordinary times, but rather, a great time of shifting and transition. I have been going over the words we received on our listening day. I want to end this teaching today with a few practical thoughts for all of us going forward, but before I do that, let's talk about some big thoughts. I was asked a few days ago about the glory and how we carry the glory. And this related to something Bob Jones said before he died, that the glory of God was going to return to the church, and that the glory would accompany the...

Blessed with the Resources of Heaven
Belonging House Fellowship
Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you are the Son of God and the only way to God, that you died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the dead. That on the cross you were made a curse with every curse that is due to me, that I might be redeemed from the curse and enter into the blessing. Lord, I confess any sins committed by me or by my ancestors. I ask your forgiveness. I also forgive every other person whoever harmed me or wronged me. I forgive them as I would have God forgive me. I also forgive myself. I renounce all contact with the occult in any form and I commit myself to...

Pride, Jezebel, and Leviathan: Spiritual Warfare for Artists
Belonging House Fellowship
The most powerful thing you can do in spiritual warfare is to look at Jesus. And as you ignore the demonic that is feeding on your attention and your rebellion, the demonic realm begins to get starved for attention and just goes away. The most powerful thing you can do is not lose the plot. This is humility. ---- You can support Belonging House at https://belonginghouse.betterworld.org or buymeacoffee.com/christjohnotto.

Do Not Touch the Glory
Belonging House Fellowship
When I began our series on spiritual warfare for artists, I stated that everything we do in discipleship is spiritual war. Your life of prayer, your practice of listening to God, your choice to do what God asks of you, and your regular rhythm as an artist and creative person is just like the daily physical training of a marine. ---- You can support Belonging House at https://belonginghouse.betterworld.org or buymeacoffee.com/christjohnotto.

info_outlineLuke 9:58
Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the son of man has no where to lay his head.
Luke 9:23
If any man would come after me, let him take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Today we are going to end this talk with a few prayers.
First,
I want to break off of you
any ways people have made false declarations over you.
Some of you have aligned your hearts with these lies
and so we may have to renounce them as well.
There are many artists who listen to my teaching
who have been cursed by their churches.
So we are going to break that off.
There are many of you
who feel like God has called you to do radical things
but there is resistance,
both inward and outward,
to keep you "normal"
and to stop you from walking in obedience.
We are going to break that off and we are going to pray for you.
Some of you may need to turn from this
and I am going to ask you to indicate to everyone here
your desire to change direction and align with Jesus.
And then we are going to go after
all the false religious teaching that has kept some of you bound
in poverty, lack, sickness,
and death.
