Who Opposes Us: The Enemy or Ourselves, The World or God? by Richard Kinney Lesson 3: School of the Man Who Opposes Us: The Enemy or Ourselves, the World or God? by Richard Kinney How can opposition be an opportunity for us and how does it show if our boat of life has holes in it? It can provide a test to show where we are weak and needing repair. When we are being opposed, there are four possible sources of that opposition: ourselves, the enemy, God or the world. What are some reasons why the enemy is able to oppose us? What can our reactions to opposition show about our hearts? How can God use opposition to point out idols in our life and help overturn them? How does he use it to develop our character? These are some of the insights Richard Kinney discusses in this lesson. Lesson 3: Who Opposes Us: The Enemy or Ourselves, The World or God?

Weak as a Kitten by Richard Kinney speaks on how we need a child-like relationship with God. We have to grow in it. But then we move on to a more mature relationship with God Lesson 4: Weak as a Kitten by Richard Kinney First of all we need a child-like relationship with God. We have to grow in it. But after being there for a season, there comes a time when we need to step up to the next level of relationship. The next is bridal love where what is required of us is more demanding. God will call us up to higher level of love. Bridal love requires an intimacy that isn’t needed in the Father-child relationship which is a simpler relationship. And after bridal love comes, hopefully, a spousal relationship. Loneliness and frustration are two things that indicate it might be time to move on. What used to stimulate us and cause us to feel close to God no longer seems to have the same affect. Many have learned to minister by being a pipe line of God’s grace that flows to others. But a pipeline is empty. So when ministry time is over you are still empty. The goal is not to become a pipe. You are meant to become one with what is in the pipe. Jesus set the example: I and the Father are One. You and Jesus are supposed to become intermeshed so closely that people say, “Who is here?” We need to have the Father speak our name to us and we need to look back to Him and have Him to say “I approve of you, I love you”. “Hi, how are you doing?” If Jesus showed up in room He would talk to you. He would say hello to you. He was humble and willing to hang out with people--with individuals. We desperately need the personal relationship with God.

The Lion: Cure for Apathy and Ineffectiveness by Richard Kinney Lesson 6: School of the Lion The Lion: Cure for Apathy and Ineffectiveness by Richard Kinney God wants to be with us and have communion with us more than just telling us what to do and micromanage our lives. Communion energies our souls and spirits and empowers us to do things He wants us to do when they come along. We need to get out of false lines of competition. Very little good comes from it. We don't want to compare ourselves to others—you will become more like those you compare yourself to. Instead compare yourself to Jesus and become more like Him. Competition with others is trying to find a place for yourself when you already have one. It is hard to love someone you are even in subtle competition with. What will happen if we give up competing and learn to love and be loved? We will grow spiritually a lot faster. We have an innate desire to be valued, desired and found fascinating. What happens when we do not get this directly from God? We are hungry and will reach out for a semblance of value by being found fascinating by other people or groups.

Identifying and Destroying the Enemy’s Hold on Us by Dr. Nancy Moelk Lesson 4: School of the Man Identifying and Destroying the Enemy’s Hold on Us by Dr. Nancy Moelk If the enemy is hanging on to us and bothering us, what gives him an opportunity to do that? It may be unresolved issues in our soul that are out of alignment with God. What role do unresolved negative emotions, bad choices and false belief systems play in our being manipulated by the enemy? We need to be like little children in order to receive a relationship with God that restores our souls. He wants us to be free. What are some of the attributes of little children? They are needy, dependent, powerless, open to relationship, vulnerable. When we are released from the problems and pressure coming from the enemy's footholds, our relationship with ourselves, others and God improves. Dr. Nancy Moelk discusses these ideas and more.

Richard Kinney and Dr. Nancy Moelk, both ordained ministers, have been working in inner healing and deliverance for over twenty years as co-workers. God brought these two very different people together. In 1999, Richard realized that he needed to learn to grieve, and Nancy realized that she needed someone to mentor her in the prophetic. God has used a powerful divine synergy to make a ministry that is much greater than the sum of its parts here. With God’s help and encouragement, Richard and Nancy have been able to address a very wide range of problems that continuously keep His children small and out of touch with the massive love that God the Father has for each one of us. They do life-coaching, emotional healing, prophetic counseling and deliverance using a variety of modalities and years of experience. Richard and Nancy are firmly committed to equipping the saints to be happy and successful in their everyday lives and to become the formidable warriors that are desperately needed for such a time as this. Dr. Nancy Moelk Dr. Nancy Moelk has been counseling, teaching and mentoring people for over 25 years. She and her husband, Gary, spent seven years in France and North Africa as missionaries. After returning home, Nancy began a journey of inner healing which led to her becoming a life coach/counselor and trainer of lay ministers and Christian professionals who wanted to incorporate Biblical concepts into their practices. She has taught classes on personal growth and ministry to hundreds of people from several states and from many congregations. Nancy currently serves as Co-Director of Firehouse Ministries, Inc. and ministers to people from all over the country. Nancy lives near Atlanta with Gary, her husband.

He has planted several small churches in several different states.

After two years of inner healing, he had a life-changing encounter with the Father’s love. This continues to bless and empower his life with joy and a confidence that is unusual. He has a strong prophetic gifting and a zeal for the Lord that he hopes will only grow. He and Nancy Moelk have blessed many people as counselors and mentors.

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?
