Freedom Streams PodcastRESURRECTION LIFE(EASTER MESSAGE) by Pastor DenisFreedom Experience is a Teaching ministry of the word that is driven by the purpose (“that believers may Subjectively realize the Full Knowledge of the Truth”1 timothy 2:4 Amp), experiencing God in the incarnated word (Christ) to be life and light to man with grace and reality for man’s enjoyment. We believe that total freedom in Christ comes by Attaining & Experiencing the acquired truth in doctrine (Objective Truths in the Bible), Subjectively/practically for enjoyment and reality for Expression and Dispensing.2023-06-181h 01
Life and Building TeachingsThe Ultimate Destiny of A Believer Pr. DenisChristians have been told that they will go to heaven to live in a mansion and walk on streets of gold. But the pure revelation in the Bible tells us that our ultimate destiny is much higher, richer, and more profound. It is the New Jerusalem. We must see three crucial aspects of the New Jerusalem as our eternal destiny.2021-07-2718 minLife and Building TeachingsWhat is Meaning of Baptism Pr. DenisIn the book of Exodus, which is a book of pictures, we have a remarkable picture of baptism. The New Testament speaks in various places regarding the significance of baptism. However it is exceedingly helpful to ponder the picture of baptism in the book of Exodus.2021-07-2736 minLife and Building TeachingsWhat is the House of God Pr. DenisGod asked David two questions: “Are you the one who will build Me a house?” and “When did I ever ask someone to build Me a house of cedar?” The answers to these two questions give us a clear understanding of what God desires for His dwelling place.2021-07-2731 minGracious promisesTriumph Living in Difficult Situations Pr. DenisWhen I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord, I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia. Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:12-14)
Triumphant living is one of the characteristics that God wants to develop in us by the work of His grace. Even when we are in difficult situations, the Lord wants us to learn to walk in the victory that is available...2021-07-1317 min
Freedom Streams DevotionsSelf-Complacency Leading to Spiritual DecadenceAccording to the Word of God and the experience of many saints, the first thing the Holy Spirit does within a person (which is the same work He does within everyone) is to create a longing heart in him. All spiritual progress begins when God initiates a good work in a person through the Holy Spirit by creating a longing within. The first work of the Holy Spirit is to give us a sense of dissatisfaction and to create in us a desire to be better. This is the beginning of spiritual progress. Putting it another way, all failure and...2021-04-2430 min
Experiencing Christ TeachingsA Precious Promise of God's ProvisionIn recent meditations, we have looked at two differing categories of promises: "exceedingly great and precious promises" and "unpopular" promises. Both play a vital role in God's plan. The first category of promises brings encouragement, comfort, and hope. The second category warns, convicts, and awakens. Both types are equally certain of fulfillment. Both types are to be heeded and embraced. For awhile now, let's alternately consider promises from these two categories.1970-01-0114 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsWhat is the Old ManThe term the old man is used three times in the New Testament (Rom. 6:6; Eph. 4:22; and Col. 3:9). In Romans 6:6 the old man is something personal, whereas in Ephesians and Colossians, according to the context, it is clearly something corporate.
When we are saved and baptized, we put off the old man both in a personal way and in a corporate way.
In Romans 6:6 the old man refers to our natural but fallen life; it is the life of our soul, which acts independently of God. This is the “I” that Paul said was crucified with Christ (Gal. 2:20). Since that old “I,” th...1970-01-0130 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsWhat is the SelfTo understand what the self is, we must consider the creation and fall of man. God created man with a spirit, a soul, and a body (Gen. 2:7; 1 Thes. 5:23; Heb. 4:12). He made man’s spirit with the capacity to contact, receive, and contain God (John 4:24; 3:6; Rom. 8:16). God formed man’s soul with the faculties of mind, emotion, and will so he could express Him. God created man’s body so he could contact the physical world. God’s intention was for man to be filled in his spirit with God’s divine life to express Him through the organ of his soul.1970-01-0134 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsWhat is the New ManThe New Testament uses the phrase “new man” three times. In Ephesians 2:15 Paul says that Christ on the cross created “one new man” in Himself. In Ephesians 4:24, Paul tells us to “put on the new man, which was created according to God.” Then in Colossians 3:10 Paul says that we “have put on the new man, which is being renewed.” What is the new man? Was it created by Christ on the cross or is it being created now through our being renewed? In his first mention of the new man, Paul speaks of how Christ created one new man out of the two peopl...1970-01-0131 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsWhat is The Process of God's EconomyWe must pay careful attention to an expression such as “the processed Triune God” to correctly understand what it means. This matter is in the depths of the divine revelation, based on the Word of God and not on philosophy, religious theology, nor a self-invented understanding. The Bible clearly reveals that there is one God who is immutable in His essence and attributes; He does not change (Isa. 45:5; 1 Cor. 8:4). He is eternally the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.1970-01-0137 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsThe Christian's BirthrightFew Christians today understand the biblical idea of the birthright. Yet to the writers of both the Old and New Testaments, it was a tremendous matter. We believers, by virtue of our second birth, are the sons of God and participate in God’s blessings as our spiritual birthright in both this age and the next. Our birthright as Christians is to inherit all that God is in Christ. The apostle Paul told us that Christ Himself is our allotted inheritance (Col. 1:12; Eph. 1:14), that we are heirs of God (Rom. 8:17), and that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in...1970-01-0130 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsThe Believer's Second GarmentThe Believer’s Second Garment
[Matthew 22:11] says, “But when the king came in and beheld those reclining at the table, he saw there a man not clothed with a marriage garment.” The man without a marriage garment must surely have been a saved one. How could anyone answer God’s calling, yet not be saved? As long as we have answered God’s calling, we have been saved. In verse 14 the Lord Jesus speaks of many being called, and in Ephesians 4:1 Paul points out that we, the saved ones, are the called ones. We have been called to be saved. Although t...1970-01-0130 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsWhat is the Life Giving SpiritThe revelation of the Holy Spirit in the Bible includes many divine titles, such as, the Holy Spirit (Matt. 1:20), the Spirit of God (Rom. 8:9), the Spirit of Jesus (Acts 16:7), the Spirit (John 7:39), the Spirit of Christ (Rom. 8:9), the Spirit of Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:19), and the seven Spirits (Rev. 1:4). Each divine title has its own significance, revealing a different aspect of the Holy Spirit in the plan of God and in the experience of the believers. One of the most profound titles in the New Testament concerning the Spirit is “the life-giving Spirit” (1 Cor. 15:45). This aspect of the Spirit is for impa...1970-01-0137 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsThe Meaning of the Good Land.” The all-inclusive Christ, signified by the good land, is exceedingly rich! He is the springs and fountains (John 4:10, 14; 7:37-38). He is the wheat, barley, and vines (John 12:24; 6:9; 15:1, 5). The innumerable riches of the good land illustrate the unsearchable riches of Christ (Eph. 3:8). This understanding concerning the good land is confirmed by Colossians 1:12, which speaks of “the allotted portion of the saints in the light.” The term allotted portion refers to the allotment of the good land given to the children of Israel as their inheritance, showing that the portion given to the New Testament believers is not a physical land but the al...1970-01-0130 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsWhat is the Healing of Blindness in the Gospel of Mark[In Mark chapter 10] the Lord asked the same question both of James and John and of Bartimaeus: “What do you want Me to do for you?” (vv. 36, 51). In the Lord’s understanding, the two sons of thunder were the same as the poor beggar. However, there was a significant difference: James and John begged in a wrong way, but Bartimaeus begged in a right way. James and John asked to sit on the Lord’s right and left, but Bartimaeus asked to receive his sight.

"Now thanks be to God who . . . through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge." This spiritual aroma, which results from getting to know the Lord, blesses the heart of God. "For we are to God the fragrance of Christ." The Father loves to see the life of His Son being expressed in and through our humanity, even though this requires our dying to self.1970-01-0113 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsA Fragrance of Christ to GodIn addition to the characteristic of triumphant living, God also wants to mark our lives with the fragrance of Christ. "Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge."
Just as there are physical fragrances that can be noticed by our physical senses, there are also spiritual fragrances that can impact us spiritually. If a person partakes of food that is heavily seasoned with garlic, others will notice the fragrance of garlic.1970-01-0112 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsA Ministry of Mercy and GraceIn addition to heavenly liberty, God desires to mark our lives with other spiritual characteristics.

The Lord had told His disciples to wait in heavenly power from on high. But the disciples had left that position, giving up that ground. By leaving Jerusalem and coming to Galilee, they gave up their position. They had decided to go to the sea to fish. Peter and the other disciples went fishing because of their living. They might have lacked a sufficient supply of food and were very concerned about it.1970-01-0134 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsHOW CAN A CHRISTIAN LIVE LIKE A FISH SURVIVE IN SALT WATERFirst, the fish are mentioned, the animal life with the lowest consciousness. We have all had some experience of this. Suppose there are some goldfish swimming in the water and we come near them. They will be frightened away. However, if we scatter some food into the water and keep away, all the fish will return. This life is higher than the tree life, higher than the plant life (Ezek. 47:7, 9). Although it is not very high, it is higher. This is the first step of the growth of life.1970-01-0136 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsTHE COST OF FOLLOWING CHRISTThese people go along with the Lord, and to them He turns to speak.

The first category is God's creation, the second is God's redemption, and the third is God's regeneration. In God's creation we enjoy so many good things: air, sunshine, minerals, animal life, vegetable life. All these are good things of God's creation, and we are qualified to partake of them because we are God's creatures. Furthermore, as the redeemed ones, we enjoy forgiveness of sins, justification by faith, reconciliation in God's grace, and sanctification. Because we are redeemed, all the benefits in God's redemption are ours.1970-01-0131 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsTRANSMISSION OF EXTRA ORDINARY POWER TO USThe great power that operated in Christ has subjected all things under His feet. For Christ to be far above all is one thing; for all things to be subjected under His feet is another. The former is Christ's transcendency; the latter is the subjection of all things to Him. Here we see the subduing power, the power to subdue all things.1970-01-0129 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsBEING ENLIGHTENED TO KNOW THE HOPEOur hope is singly and uniquely Christ.

If we see the vision that the all- inclusive Christ who indwells us is our hope of glory, our living will be revolutionized.1970-01-0128 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsGod’s Divine Attributes Expressed in Our Human VirtuesThe riches of God's glory are the many different items of His divine attributes, such as light, life, power, love, humility, patience, righteousness, and holiness, expressed in different degrees. Since glory is God's expression, the riches of glory are the riches of God's expression.

The problem is that Christ has been exalted everywhere except in you1970-01-0142 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsGROWTH BEING THE DECREASE TO SELFWe have mentioned the positive aspect of spiritual progress, which is the increase of the element of God in us. Now let us look at the negative aspect of spiritual progress. Spiritual progress on the negative side is the shedding of certain things from us, that is, from our inner being. As soon as something is shed from us, we have spiritual progress. When something that usurps God's place is shed from us, we have spiritual progress.1970-01-0133 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsA CHRISTIAN IS ONE WITH CHRIST INWARDLYThe Bible shows us clearly through this contrasts the fact that Christianity is not a matter of outward Rules & regulations, forms/procedures, methods, and ceremonies but a matter of the inner life.

Then, in time, He created all things. At a certain point in history, this creating God, the Creator of all, became a man. This crucial step is called incarnation. By means of incarnation, God put on man with all of creation, for man is the head of creation. The Lord Jesus, God incarnate, lived on earth for thirty-three and a half years.

For example, the food we eat is a shadow, not the real food. The real food is Christ. Christ is also the
real drink. The clothing we wear to cover us, to beautify us, and to keep us warm is also a shadow of Christ.

Now, in the case of the dealing with the temple, we see the goal, the purpose of life, that is, to build the house of God. So we emphasize Life & Building in our messages1970-01-011h 00Experiencing Christ TeachingsPARTAKING OF CHRIST IN THE LIGHTWhen we were saved, we had a sense of the sweetness of Christ.
Deep within, we realized how enjoyable Christ is. Then...many of us were distracted and led away from the enjoyment of Christ. We turned from the inner sense of the sweetness of Christ to religious duty. This brought us into darkness again, and the inward shining ceased.1970-01-0128 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsTHE INCREASE OF CHRISTWe must let Christ increase. We all must decrease. The entire following must go to Him. If all of today’s Christian preachers and leaders would say, “Lord, let my following be Yours that You may increase and that I may decrease,” there would be no problem. Some people seem to say, “He must increase, and I must decrease, but I must hold my following.” As long as you hold your following, you will never decrease and He cannot increase. The increase or the decrease all depends upon the following. To whom does the following belong? This is the problem today: eve...1970-01-0159 min

He works His grace within us as we are nurtured in His word, trusting in what the Lord has to say to us.1970-01-0115 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsDeep Calls Unto Deep Pt 7Psalm 42:7 says, "Deep calls unto deep."

The thing that touches us the most is money. Hence, we must first learn righteousness in the way we deal with money. We cannot spend other people's money, much less can we steal money from others. We cannot turn other people's money into our own by improper means. Turning what is not ours into
something that is ours through any improper means or in any subconscious way is unrighteousness.1970-01-0132 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsLIVING BY THE DIVINE LIFE IN SPIRITLIVING BY THE DIVINE LIFE IN THE SPIRIT.

Now, we return to an extended consideration of how we avail ourselves of the glorious riches of God's grace. As noted earlier in our studies, God's grace is accessed through humility and faith.1970-01-0122 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsFully Supplied through Knowing GodOur lives are blessed whenever the Lord adds any of His blessings to our experience. Yet, there are times when we sense a need for God's blessings to be multiplied to us. Well, God desires to intensify His working toward us. "Grace and peace be multiplied to you." Drop after drop of refreshing water may encourage the thirsty soul. However, our hearts' true need may be for fountains of living water. God loves to pour forth in abundance. "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).1970-01-0117 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsTriumph Living in Difficult Situations Pr. DenisWhen I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord, I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia. Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:12-14)

In our previous meditation, we saw that "the God of all grace" wants to develop our lives spiritually. He wants to use His exceedingly abundant grace to "perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle" us. Now, we will examine the useful (though often undesired) suffering that prepares us for this work of grace.1970-01-0113 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsThe Believer's Second Garment[Matthew 22:11] says, “But when the king came in and beheld those reclining at the table, he saw there a man not clothed with a marriage garment.” The man without a marriage garment must surely have been a saved one. How could anyone answer God’s calling, yet not be saved? As long as we have answered God’s calling, we have been saved. In verse 14 the Lord Jesus speaks of many being called, and in Ephesians 4:1 Paul points out that we, the saved ones, are the called ones. We have been called to be saved.

What does it mean to be a “holy people living a holy life”? The apostle Peter revealed two divine facts that the Triune God gave to every believer.

Many consider the soul and the spirit as being the same, but they are actually distinct from each another. In 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Paul prayed that “your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete,” indicating that the soul and the spirit are distinct from each other, just as the body is distinct from the soul.1970-01-0126 minExperiencing Christ TeachingsEXPERIENCING CHRIST AS THE CHEERING LIFEThe new wine here [Matt. 9:17] signifies Christ as the new life, full of vigor, stirring people to excitement.
