One of my core teachings is the power of the indwelling Christ "in us". He dwells in us by the "Faith of the Son of God". “…the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27 (KJV) God’s mystery revealed in the new covenant is that Jesus Christ Himself lives within believers by the Holy Spirit. This indwelling is the believer’s hope of future glory — meaning our present union with Christ guarantees our future resurrection and eternal life with Him.
1. Christ Dwells in Believers not merely as a religious idea but as a present, spiritual reality — the heart of the believer’s identity and future hope.
2. This Indwelling Brings Hope Because Christ is within believers by the Holy Spirit, Christians have hope of glory — assurance of salvation, transformation, and ultimate sharing in Christ’s glory.
3. A Life Transformed by Christ Brandt often teaches that understanding who you are in Christ changes how you live now — fostering confidence, boldness in prayer, obedience, and spiritual growth. allpropastors.org
4. Biblical Basis in Colossians His teaching on this theme would be grounded in Paul’s words from Colossians 1:27–28, emphasizing that this “mystery” was hidden in the Old Testament but is now revealed in Christ.

Here is a clear, complete teaching outline on “Living the Reality of Christ – II Peter Chapter 1”

1. The Foundation: You Have Received the Same Precious Faith 2 Peter 1:1 Peter begins by saying believers have “obtained like precious faith” — the same quality of faith the apostles walked in. Dr. Brandt often teaches that the believer doesn’t work up faith — it is received from Christ Himself. Reality: Because Christ is in you, His faith is in you. Your life operates from His internal power, not human striving.
2. The Power Source: II Peter 1:3 “His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.” This is one of the clearest verses in the New Testament about Christ-in-you reality. You are not trying to become something you already are something. "Paul said, "In him I live and have by being". It is not becoming, but being! You already possess everything needed to live the Christ life. The Christian life is not achieved — it is received. Living the Reality Christ in you supplies: spiritual authority,godly desires, power to overcome sin, clarity of calling, boldness and confidence. You live out what God has already placed within you.
3. The Activation: Through Knowing Him. II Peter 1:3 says this power flows “through the knowledge of Him.” This isn’t academic knowledge — it’s relational knowing. Revelation knowledge awakens the Christ-life in you. The more you behold Jesus, the more His nature flows through you.Identity is strengthened by knowing who Christ is and who you are in Him. Daily fellowship makes Christ’s life active and visible.
4. The Greatest Treasure: Partakers of the Divine Nature. II Peter 1:4 “…that you may be partakers of the divine nature…” This is the core of “Christ in me” theology. You don’t just imitate Christ — you partake of His nature. God is restoring His image in you. Christ’s nature is your new identity. The Spirit reproduces Jesus’ life inside you.Reality:The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead works in you now!
5. Escaping the Corruption of the World. II Peter 1:4 Because you have Christ’s nature, you are empowered to rise above: the world’s corruption, fleshly desires,fear, anxiety, and defeat, bondage and addiction. You escape not through willpower, but through new nature power.
6. The Growth Ladder: Adding to Your Faith. II Peter 1:5–7 Peter lists seven qualities that manifest Christ’s nature: Virtue – excellence of character - Knowledge – spiritual understanding - Self-control – Christ’s discipline in you -Perseverance – endurance produced by the Spirit - Godliness – Christlike living - Brotherly kindness – compassion - Love – agape, Christ’s own love poured through you.
7. The Promise: You Will Be Effective and Fruitful. II2 Peter 1:8 When these qualities flow in you, Peter says you will be: effective, fruitful, spiritually sharp, useful in God’s kingdom. This living the Kingdom Life Now.
8. The Warning: Forgetting Who You Are. II Peter 1:9 Peter says the one lacking these qualities has:forgotten he is cleansed, forgotten his identity, become spiritually blind The greatest crisis in the church is identity amnesia. You must remember who Christ has made you.9. The Call: Make Your Calling and Election Sure 2 Peter 1:10–11 You walk securely when you live from your God-given identity. This leads to:confidence, stability, a rich entrance into the kingdom, endurance in trials Summary: How to Live the Reality of Christ (from 2 Peter 1) Receive your faith as Christ’s faith in you. Live from His divine power already given. Pursue relational knowledge of Jesus. Walk as a partaker of the divine nature. Live above the world’s corruption through new nature life. Let Christ’s character flow through you. Be fruitful through Spirit-enabled growth. Never forget your identity in Christ. Live confidently in your calling and destiny.

Trial By Fire - Daniel #3

The story you're referring to involves three Jewish men—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—in the Book of Daniel, specifically Daniel chapter 3, not chapter 2. This chapter tells the dramatic and faith-filled story of these men, who are put to the test by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Here’s a summary of the story: The Setup (Daniel 3) King Nebuchadnezzar makes a massive golden image and commands everyone in the kingdom to bow down and worship it when they hear music play. This statue represents the king's authority, and he demands absolute devotion from his subjects. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who were three young Jewish men taken into exile by the Babylonians, refuse to worship the idol. This act of defiance against the king's decree is rooted in their unwavering commitment to God’s commandment to not worship idols. The Consequence: Nebuchadnezzar, enraged by their disobedience, orders that they be thrown into a fiery furnace, which is heated seven times hotter than usual. The Trial by Fire As the three men are about to be cast into the furnace, they boldly declare their faith in God, saying that they believe God will save them from the fire. However, even if He doesn’t, they still refuse to worship the idol, showing an unwavering trust in God regardless of the outcome. The Fiery Furnace: The men are bound and thrown into the furnace. The fire is so intense that the soldiers who throw them in are killed by the heat. But something miraculous happens—when Nebuchadnezzar looks into the furnace, he sees four men walking around, unbound, and unharmed. The fourth figure looks like "a son of the gods," often interpreted as either a divine messenger or even a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ in some Christian traditions. Nebuchadnezzar, astonished, calls them out of the fire. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego emerge unharmed, with not a hair singed, their clothes intact, and not even the smell of smoke on them. The Aftermath: Nebuchadnezzar praises the God of Israel, acknowledging His power to deliver His servants from the fire. He also issues a decree that no one in his kingdom should speak against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. This story is often cited as a powerful example of faith, courage, and God’s miraculous protection. It shows the conviction of the three men to honor God above all else, even in the face of death, and serves as a reminder of God's ability to intervene in situations that seem impossible <

Walk in Divine Favor - Daniel ch. 1

Jesus walked in divine favor with the Father by embodying absolute obedience, righteousness, and love for the Father's will, which he "learned" through suffering and perfected through His life, death, and resurrection. His consistent alignment with the Father's heart and purpose, demonstrated in all His words and deeds, brought glory to God and showed His perfect Sonship. This profound relationship and flawless execution of His divine mission resulted in God's enduring favor and exaltation of Jesus. The book of Daniel shows how four young men could affect and entire nation. God gifted Daniel with understanding and dreams and vision and interpreting the king's dream. This gift promoted Daniel to the very top of the nation of Babylon where Daniel has been taken from Jerusalem after the Nebuchadnezer surrounded the city and took it captive. God used Daniel greatly to affect the empire of Babylon.

What is the Kingdom Life University Theology?

Mountain-moving faith is unwavering trust in God that believes He can do the impossible. Jesus taught that even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains—symbolic of life's biggest challenges—when we pray, speak, and act in confidence, without doubting. This kind of faith: Believes God’s Word above circumstances, speaks boldly to obstacles, prays with expectation and acts in obedience. It is hindered by doubt, fear, unforgiveness, and unbelief. But it grows through hearing God’s Word, prayer, and walking closely with the Holy Spirit. In essence: Mountain-moving faith sees the impossible as possible—because it trusts fully in God’s power, not our own

Kingdom Power & Glory

The Kingdom of God is the spiritual reign of God, revealed through Jesus Christ and continuing through His followers. It is marked by power—the supernatural ability and authority of God working on earth—and glory—the visible manifestation of His presence, holiness, and majesty. The power of the Kingdom includes healing, deliverance, miracles, and victory over sin and darkness. It is not just in words, but in action, demonstrated through the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 4:20, Acts 1:8). The glory of the Kingdom is the radiant expression of God’s divine nature. It was seen in Christ, fills God’s temple, and transforms believers into His image (John 1:14, 2 Corinthians 3:18). Though the Kingdom is spiritually present now, it will be fully revealed in unmatched power and glory at Christ’s return, when He comes to reign in righteousness and establish His eternal rule (Matthew 24:30, Revelation 11:15). Believers are called to walk in Kingdom power and reflect God’s glory, living as ambassadors of His rule on earth

Reality of Christ inside us - Col. ch. 3

How to transition the living reality of Christ at the right hand of the Father, to His "Living Reality" of Christ within us. Christ "In me the hope of His glory".
