The Ox school: The Ox nature of God is first of all a symbol of incredible strength. Imagine a 2000 lb. ox who can pull twice his weight. But to earn the title of “ox” and no longer just a cow, he has been trained by his owner to obey directions. Oxen are known for their strength, patience, persistence, and submissive nature. The Ox-like nature of Christ is one of service and sacrifice where strength is made perfect in weakness. Lesson 1: The Unreasonableness of God Lesson 2:Healthy Practice of the Ox Lesson 3:When Nothings Seems Stable Lesson 4: Weak as a Kitten Lesson 5:Chaos, Trust and Elements of Change Lesson 6:The Nuclear Power of Death and Dying to Self School of the Ox Six Lessons As we focus on one of the Faces of God as represented by the Four Living Creatures, we always want to remember how God wants to train us in all four faces eventually because they balance one another. There is also the element of being led by the Holy Spirit in all things and allowing His leading to bring forward in us the type of response that a particular person or situation requires. Keep this in mind as we look more closely at the Ox nature of God. The Ox nature of God is first of all a symbol of incredible strength. Imagine a 2000 lb. ox who can pull twice his weight. But to earn the title of “ox” and no longer just a cow, he has been trained by his owner to obey directions. Oxen are known for their strength, patience, persistence, and submissive nature. The Ox-like nature of Christ is one of service and sacrifice where strength is made perfect in weakness. He was a son who learned obedience through his constant communion with the Father. The cross is the universal act representing the Ox. We will become very powerfully connected to God by opening ourselves to His teaching us to become the Ox. The goal of this course is for the Holy Spirit to guide and orchestrate the development of the ox in us. Here are some of our goals for this course: To educate students in the characteristics of the Ox-like nature of God To identify the process of the Ox in us and how to walk in it. To come to understand that the sacrifice and submission taught in the Ox leads to great strength and power being added to life. To learn how the Ox has massive and unstoppable determination and energy to move forward no matter what. To learn how the Ox gives the balance and stability that is necessary for God to really trust us and to release His power in our life. To learn how the Ox is the platform for living out of the abundance that God intends for us.

The Way of the Christian Warrior by Richard Kinney Lesson 2: School of the Lion The Way of the Christian Warrior by Richard Kinney A warrior is able to turn a battle around to a time of promotion. We can get roughed up in the battles of life, but victory is assured. We have already won. The devil and company will be defeated. No matter how bitter the battle, we win. A soldier is not surprised if they get hurt or inconvenienced. But what does the enemy try to con us into believing? The enemy is always trying to con us into believing we are weak and have lost. How can moments of seeming defeat be an opportunity for promotion. Part of it is that the Lion of Christ inhabits the Lamb of our vulnerability and sacrifice in our lives. When your challenging moment comes, you can choose to face it and win, or you can choose to walk away and lose. It is a day where you have a unique opportunity to move forward.

An Overview of the School of the Lion by Richard Kinney Lesson 1: School of the Lion Overview of the Lion by Richard Kinney What are some aspects of the Lion face of God? What does it complement? The Lion, in contrast to the Ox is about taking over territory, bringing the government of God. It lets God rule and reign as He wanted to do in Israel in the Old Testament. He wants to take over the territory of our lives internally and then externally in our realms of influence like He has in using Heidi Baker in Mozambique. She and her husband have started over 15,000 churches in a Muslim country and care for over 10,000 orphans daily. Being able to speak forth and have things created, changed and destroyed by our spoken word. It is the power side of the equation like the Eagle. Some people think being a Christian is about always being a loser. We are meant to have Lion moments as well as Ox moments. Jesus exhibited both the Lion and the Ox. When He marched into hell and took back the keys of death from Satan or when He confronted the Pharisees, He was showing us His Lion side.

The Nuclear Power of Death and Dying to Self by Richard Kinney Lesson 6: The Nuclear Power of Death and Dying to Self by Richard Kinney Their misunderstanding of death and dying to self has left many Christians weak and shallow when we are all created to be deep and powerful. What will be the result of our reconnecting with this concept? It will help us to reconnect with both sides of heaven and earth and help us to become the impactful Christians that we know inside of ourselves that we were created to be. If we reject life’s positives or life’s negatives, we reject life. Many Christians are half alive, even though they serve the Lord of Life. We in the western world have suffocated ourselves by only wanting to acknowledge our “wins” in life. Many of us have learned only to celebrate our successes. Many times, it is through tough times and seasons of failure that great power and authority is released through us. Life involves both the breath in and the breath out. You only have life by engaging both. Richard Kinney explains how our "low" times can result in great victory. The Cross represents the most significant event of an apparent defeat turning out to be a victory.

Overview of the Eagle by Dr. Nancy Moelk and Richard Kinney Lesson 5: Overview of the Eagle by Dr. Nancy Moelk and Richard Kinney We may ask ourselves, "Does God heal people today? Does God want to heal people today?" If we have never seen it happen or have expected it to happen, we may say no to these questions. Dr. Nancy Moelk shares firsthand experiences from a Randy Clark, Global Awakening mission trip to Brazil of healings she witnessed there. She will discuss whether faith is always necessary for healing. She will explain how God is excited about seeing people healed and restored. Remember, He originally made this world without disease and sickness and suffering. That came in whenever God stopped having all His own way and allowed man to have free choice. What part does our need to control (or rather, let go of our need to control) have in us seeing healings happen?
