There are two kingdoms at work — the Kingdom of Light ruled by God, and the kingdom of darkness ruled by Satan. Each kingdom operates on opposite principles:
• The kingdom of darkness stands on pride and rebellion.
• The Kingdom of God stands on love and humility.
As citizens of God's Kingdom, we are called to live out these two divine pillars — love and humility — which are perfectly demonstrated by God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ and outworked in us by His Spirit, Holy Spirit

Join Paul Bungay as he explores how our understanding of our old and new nature enables us to access "every spiritual blessing in Christ" (Eph. 1v3) and the fundamental importance of learning to live by the Spirit in Christian discipleship.
Dave Foggon explains how the fear of the Lord is God's gift to us, enabling us to live from eternity in the everyday.

While jostling for position and asking for who is the greatest in the Kingdom of God, Jesus answered them by saying whoever wants to enter into the Kingdom of God (Heaven) needs to become like little children.
Enoch walked with God, and it was said that he pleased God. Abraham was called by God to come to a land God would show Him.

Christians are transformed by the renewing of their minds, therefore discipleship should be aimed at teaching people how to think well.
Jesus last words set the agenda for us to be disciple making disciples. With his power and authority, we can do the great commission.
Can the Christian life be boring? What about church? What does it reveal about our own lives if we find ourselves thinking these things? Dave Foggon looks at the root causes behind some of these mindsets and the solution to them all - which is much simpler than you might think.
Loving one another as Christ loved us will prove to the world that we are his disciples.
The word of God tells us that there are sleeping Christians and awake ones. Which type are you? Dave Foggon explains how being filled with the joy of your salvation is key to living “awake” and also the most powerful weapon for the salvation of others. God is waking up His bride!
Jesus instructs us to make disciples and teach them to obey all he commanded. Understanding obedience to Jesus is key to making disciples whose lives will have a foundation on the rock, not on the sand.
The cure for a lukewarm life is the word of God. In this message, Dave Foggon reveals how scripture itself teaches us how to access the word of God in a way that kindles the fire of first love.
The last testament of a dying man always carries a lot of weight. Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed for the birth of the church (made up of Jewish and Non-Jewish believers) but even more importantly for the unity of the church. Jesus was praying to the Father for the same level of unity that exists in the Godhead for us, His disciples. For the church (the bride of Christ) to be able to host the next move of God, it is imperative that we endeavour to keep this unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. It is important to also note that the key to unity among believers is experiencing the glory of God which Jesus has imparted to us. As one with God through faith in Jesus Christ, He shares His glory with us and we have been made one with the triune God through the blood of Jesus. We are therefore God’s glory carriers and we need to see ourselves as such. Living in this reality would begin to shape how we see ourselves and conduct our lives.

The message shows how God provides restoration to situations in our lives as believers. No matter the challenges, troubles and problems that we experienced, God will cause it to work together for good and the advancement of his Kingdom. The message described the different types of restoration believers go through, causes of challenges and how God turns it around for good.
Impartation. We know it's biblical and we've seen its impact, but have we always taught the full story? In this message, Dave Foggon talks about the central role consecration played in the early believers' experience of power and breakthrough.

Why is the presence of God so important, and how do we receive Him in our lives? What about the baptism of the Holy Spirit - is that the same thing or different? In this message, Dave Foggon provides us with foundational teaching on the importance of valuing the presence of God and how to live a lifestyle centred around Him.
Summary: God is stirring us to pray in these days of harvest and revival, but how do we do it? Jesus' disciples asked him the same question and he answered with what we call the "Lord's Prayer." Here Jesus reveals the heart of prayer so that we can pray from our hearts. (Check out the connect group on Church suite, "How to Pray" to follow up David's teaching. Available online and in-person).
The early church saw remarkable fruit in the form of miracles and a harvest of souls. The reason? It wasn't just what they did, but how they did it. Dave Foggon takes us on a journey through the bible exploring how peace enables unity, and unity releases corporate breakthrough.
Acts 2 tells us how the early church organised itself and gives us a model to follow. Devoted to the Apostles teaching, to Fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Always welcoming new believers and growing rapidly.
Where do you spend your time, the treasure of your life? This is an invitation to stop and give all your attention to Jesus and His overflowing heart of love for you. Janice Pleasants encourages us to have fresh sight of Jesus, to gaze at Him and be reawakened, re-envisioned and re-enchanted by this irresistible, live-giving, glorious Christ.
Understanding how to use spiritual authority is fundamental in the Christian life, and Jesus gives us the best example of how to do this well.
In this message, David Foggon shares about a recent conversation in which God told him that 1 John 3:16 is the key to people actually believing that famous, often quoted verse from John 3:16, “For God so loved the world…” Drawing on the example Jesus gave us, he challenges us to reconsider what the love of God looks like in our lives and how loving in a way that others find uncomfortable is key to revival.
In Mark 16 Jesus tells his disciples about the spiritual culture that they will carry with them, with spiritual authority over the kingdom of darkness and the ability to access the resources of heaven.
Jesus warned the church not to tolerate demonic influences upon our thinking, and offers us peace that can guard our hearts and minds.
We tend to think of hunger for God as something that’s defined by what we’re prepared to do for Him. Where we’re prepared to go, the passion we bring with us. However, whenever people wanted to follow Him, Jesus always measured hunger in a different way: what are you prepared to NOT do? In this message, David Foggon challenges us to consider the role that self-denial and sacrifice will play in our lives.
A vital component in discipleship is the willingness to receive correction and warnings about issues that would take us “off track”. Jesus rebukes his disciples on numerous occasions- what can we learn ?
The God of compassion calls us to be a compassionate church. How do we discover and sustain a compassionate approach to others around us? Where is the compassion that compels us?
We have forgiveness, we have life forever with god. So now we can be friends with God and filled with Holy Spirit.
The message takes a deeper look into 2 Corinthians 3 vs 1-13. It compares the glory in the old covenant with the one in the new covenant. It shows how Jesus is our model for the expression of God`s glory on the Earth and describes the conditions needed to walk in this glory like Jesus did.
Joaquin Evans, of Bethel Austin, shares a powerful message about the reward of valuing intimacy with the Father, which always precedes a move of God.
As seen in the Book of Ephesians. It is written from thus stand point. It's written from this point of view. We just have to believe what was already done for us and appropriate it all.
In this challenging message, Dave Foggon explains why now is a key time to respond to the Lord's invitation to yield our hearts fully to Him in order to partner with His purposes for today and the generations to come.
Picking up on the recent "Our Prophetic Journey” preaching series, Paul Bungay shares some thoughts on the question "What next?”, exploring the kind of church God is shaping Eastgate to become, and looking at how we can model ourselves on Jesus’ expression of the "5-fold” gifts mentioned in chapters 2 & 4 of the book of Ephesians.
God’s master plan is for us to be a united family so that we can be a dwelling place for His Spirit.
The Bible instructs us not to be conformed to the pattern of the world; the book of Ephesians gives us a Biblical pattern as part of our model.
Following our 3 part series on Eastgate’s prophetic journey, Dave Foggon looks at the one thing that’s foundational to 1) building an apostolic resource centre, 2) become freedom carriers and 3) building a strong home church - becoming a community of people centred around the presence of God. In this message, Dave looks at 3 areas of church life that help us to develop this.
Steph Cox, Liz Smallwood and David Stevens share their experience in which God confirmed Eastgate's calling to be an apostolic resource centre.

Pete Carter and Dave Foggon share stories of a recent prophetic experience in which God confirmed Eastgate's calling to be an apostolic resource centre.
God wants to give you a bulletproof hallelujah - where your enjoyment of His love and heart response of worship - is not subject to external circumstance. Dave Foggon explores how He does this, and what it looks like when this starts to become a reality in our lives.
God’s presence with us at all times provides the answer for every circumstance of life. He gave everything us so that we can have everything with Him.
The message shows how Gods wants to fulfil his dream through every believer of Christ. The dream is to reveal the love of the father to the world and shine the light so that the Lordship of Jesus will be established in the hearts of people, and in the believers areas of influence and territories. The story of Joseph was used in the message as an example of someone that God used to fulfill his dream.
At the start of the advent season Donna King speaks about the indescribable hope that the birth, life and death of Jesus brings and its application to our lives
John's opening to his gospel is a glorious overture to all the great things he is going to write about Jesus. The Word is God, our creator, our life and light, rejected by humankind, but making children of God of those who believe. He is full of glory, grace and truth, the One and Only that we are called, like John the Baptist, to bear witness to in the world.
Recognising people's need for comfort is essential to well-being, knowing that God is a limitless source of comfort gives us hope and strength.
Dave Foggon shares a timely word on how foundational the fear of the Lord is for those who seek to experience His glory. Drawing on scriptural examples and personal experiences, Dave encourages us to develop our own personal lifestyles centred around a heightened awareness of God with us in the day-to-day.
We need to listen carefully as God speaks to us as his words are foundational in our lives. Please listen to the Graham Cooke prophecy from 30th July 2019, available on the "Dream Revolution" app.
In the final message in our series on breakthrough, Ross Hardy invites us into an encounter with God’s love, as God positions us to move into seasons of greater glory.
God can change things in an instant, yet we are also called to persevere in prayer. Dave Carter looks at these two truths and how we hold them together.
Jesus told his disciples to go into all the world and make disciples and teach them to obey everything he had commanded them. Obedience to God is based on relationship with him and trust towards him. Individual breakthroughs are part of a bigger picture of corporate breakthroughs in the context of making disciples. Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an essential foundation of Christianity.
In the second message in our new series, Dave Foggon explains how the requirement for seeing breakthrough isn’t increasing our faith, but holding on to whatever faith we have and refusing to partner with doubt. Your mustard seed is enough!

In this first message in a new series on breakthrough, Dave Foggon explains how we can position ourselves for deeper levels of intimacy and revelation that ultimately become sources of victory for ourselves and others.

The promise given by God to Abraham to bless the whole world has now been inherited by all Christians. Walking in faith faces the facts of the world situation but draws its resources from the greatest fact that God Is With Us.

In the final week of the Jonah series, Jo looks at Jonah's moments with God on the hillside of Nineveh. In chapter 4, Jonah wrestles with the themes of mercy and justice, and we explore how these attributes of God are experiences today.
Jonah resisted showing and declaring God’s grace and compassion to the world, but God persisted because Love is his nature. We have a responsibility to love the world well.
The choices we make in life have consequences, and bad choices generally lead to bad consequences, but our God is a God of goodness, grace and mercy. As Donna King leads us through the second chapter of Jonah we see God’s love in action and are reminded that, for us, Jesus is the goodness, grace and mercy of God.
In this message Mark lays the foundation for our series on Jonah. He also unpacks chapter 1 which is an exploration of the nature and psychology of spiritual rebellion and disobedience.
Jesus was not tame or domesticated, He goes beyond normal or conventional bounds, He said and did some pretty wild things, uncomfortable things, things that challenged peoples thinking and expectation. Jesus said and did things that were inconvenient and demonstrated strong passion, desire and emotions. He hasn’t changed, He is still wild but are we!
The bible tells us that the glory of the new covenant far exceeds that of the old covenant (2 Cor 3:6-18).
Paul Bungay looks into this greater glory and explores how limiting beliefs stemming from the old covenant could hinder us from living in its fullness.
In the final episode of the series, Pete is joined by emergency care practitioner Sasha Caridia, who shares stories and experiences that have helped her become "naturally supernatural" in the healthcare world.
For too long, the treatment of mental health conditions has been singled out in the Christian world for an unhelpful amount of stigma and shame.

Mark Gilpin discusses how we can find Jesus in these moments of our lives, even if we have lost hope, feel a failure, and lost our sense of purpose. What can be learnt from three Biblical characters who had encounters with Jesus.
Does it make us weak Christians to seek medical advice or intervention? In this episode, Pete is joined by his son and fellow doctor Dave Carter, as they explore this contentious and often muddled subject.
In this message Jo encourages us in how it is possible to live in the promise from Psalm 16:11 "In his presence there is fullness of joy."
If I'm not healed is it because I don't have enough faith? Does healing require medical verification before we can conclude that it's really happened? How do we know when we are walking in faith or compulsion? Is it ever OK to stop taking medication? In this episode, Dr Pete Carter is joined by Dave Foggon from the Eastgate leadership team, as they explore the often delicate subject of how to determine if you are healed or not. Instead of offering prescriptive answers, Dave and Pete share biblical truths, testimonies and insights that will help you to walk out your own journey of faith.
Faith in Jesus is having confidence in him. We are confident that light extinguishes darkness and in the same way we can be confident of Jesus’ power at work through us.
There's a fresh move of Holy Spirit coming, and it's time to get ready. In this message, Dave Foggon shares insights and addresses common problems that get in the way of us relating intimately with the Person of Holy Spirit.
In episode 2 of the How To Live Well podcast, Dr Pete Carter is joined by Patrick Nyamangunda – a kidney transplant patient with an extraordinary story of both medical excellence and logic-defying faith. Through his story, Patrick highlights both the critical role that modern healthcare plays in today’s world and the importance of intimately knowing the voice of the Father who can do more than we can ask or imagine.
God is interested in your needs, hopes and dreams. He also expects us to obey him wholeheartedly. Dave Carter looks at how these ideas interact and how God miraculously provides when we involve him in our problems.
Is it a lack of faith to embrace medical science? How do I contend for a miracle that doesn't seem to be happening? Am I no longer trusting God if I listen to my doctor's advice?
God is calling us to radical generosity. From this passage in Luke, we discover that generosity of service means we give ourselves away to other people. But it is based on a generosity of discipleship, we won’t give away ourselves to other people unless we have first given ourselves away to Jesus, but that is based on the amazing truth of costly grace.
God is an abundant giver, and as his children we are called to reflect his generosity. Dave Carter teaches how grace is key to generosity.
Joaquin lives with his wife, Renee, and their 3 kids in Austin, TX, where they pastor Bethel Austin. Before planting Bethel Austin Joaquin was on staff at Bethel in Redding, CA for 12 years. Joaquin loves to travel the nations seeing Jesus glorified but he most enjoys being home with his family and seeing the Kingdom of Heaven established through the local church and seeing everyday people and families raised up to change cities, regions, and nations.
An In depth look into Jesus' letter to the Ephesians Church.

Jesus promised that the smallest mustard seed of faith is all you need to move mountains, but are you allowing that simple faith to be cancelled out by your other thoughts? In this message, Ross Hardy confronts the greatest contender to our received faith: unbelief.
What is the purpose of this passage? Often seen as a handbook for evangelism this passage majors on the supreme revelation of the Messiah and his eternal kingdom. What are the greater things Jesus promises his disciples they will see and what greater things should we be reaching for?
Drawing parallels and contrasts between Exodus 24 and 2 Corinthians 3, Dave Foggon reveals how, unlike the old covenant, where an encounter with God was an event made possible by a temporal sacrifice, in the new covenant it’s a never-ending lifestyle made available by a perfect, eternal sacrifice. So many of us view encounters with God through an ‘event’ mindset. What if the only thing needed for breakthrough was to change the way we think?
How are we to live in these times? By growing in our relationship with God, being transformed in our character and expecting to move in power. Dave Carter preaches from Colossians 1 v 9 -14.
God created human beings and gave each one a plan for their life. If a person asks God can reveal this plan to you. I know the plans that I have for you, plans for your good and to give you an expected end. God's plans for every human being are good exciting and big. God has never created a failure. Be expectant and find out and His plans for your life. It is an exciting life, full of great things God want to accomplish through you. Don't limit God by thinking small. Ask Him and He will reveal to you the plans He has for you.
We have been given spiritual authority to tear down the powers of darkness who are pursuing evil on earth.
Paul shares from the book of Ephesians on God’s ultimate purpose & plan for the whole of Creation. He explores how this relates to the times we now live in and how the church can play a fundamental part in bringing God's plan to fruition - or in hindering it!
In this message Mark explores what discipleship looked like in first century Galilee and draws out the challenges for us in 21st century western culture. Matt 4:18-22

Donna King speaks about building our lives on foundations that can bear the weight of His glory, by listening to the 'instructor' and reading the 'highway code.'
Jesus our model of humanity relating to God. Pete Carter talks about the challenge of only doing what the father is doing; we need to learn from the example of Jesus.
When Jesus said, 'blessed are the peace-makers', He was talking about far more than just resolving conflict. He was describing a generation of children of God who would literally create atmospheres of "shalom" wherever they go. In this message, Dave takes us on a journey through New Testament examples to show how we can cultivate an internal reality of peace that tangibly transforms the world around us.

Fruitfulness, favour and fullness are the promises found in this reality: Christ lives in us. In this message Ross Hardy explores the incredible reality of our 'new creation' life.
Every church needs a "field of discourse," safe places where the many controversial issues of the day can be discussed and solutions sort. God's word has something to say about everything and we have the mind of Christ to find the answers and change our world.
Steph Cox challenges us to step into this season and be a generation who earnestly seeks God’s manifest presence. Psalm 24 and 2 Samuel 6
God is constant and unchanging, but what he is doing in a given season varies. We have the joy and responsibility of staying close to him and being tuned in to his voice.Dave Carter looks at the life of Hezekiah and how keeping a receptive ear open to what God is saying is key to revival.
Being brave is a decision rather than a character trait. Dave Carter describes how growing in courage is linked to your awareness of God’s presence.
God's Kingdom has an entirely different set of rules to the world. To position ourselves to receive, we need to be people who give away what we already have. It's also how 'perfect love casts out fear' - becoming so entirely 'other' focussed, that we are no longer concerned with self-preservation, leaving fear with no power over our lives. Often, though, this isn't our experience. Drawing on personal experiences and reflections, Dave examines 3 areas of bad thinking that can become 'barriers' to living a generous life, and explores how aligning our minds with the word of God can enable us to live in the fullness God intends for us.
