Revelatory Teaching - Introduction

Material posted here is revelatory teaching.  It is a teaching which has come through a revelation of the Holy Spirit (our counsellor and our guide) and/or through His word.  The teaching brings substance and fruit to your faith.  It is not a teaching made by man, rather, it is one which has been taught by the Spirit of God.  It is a teaching which is based and rooted in the word of God, which was lived out in the life of His Son, Jesus Christ. Posted on this page are a variety of teaching topics which the Lord has given to Footstool Ministries (Canada) - these are just a few of the topics which the Lord has laid out through Footstool Ministries (Canada).  Other topics are available. You are strongly encouraged, at all times when receiving any form of teaching whether through Footstool Ministries (Canada), other ministries, your local fellowship, schools or conferences, to test it yourself, before the Lord.  Lean on His understanding through your careful study of His word, through prayer where you ask for His insight and listen to Him for his answers.  He will not mislead you. "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved; a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."  2Timothy 2:15

(Note:  This area is presently under development.  Please be patient as we get all of the contents of these pages up and running for you.) Living In The Sabbath Rest "Today" - Are we living in the sabbath?  Are we living in the 'seventh' day? Do we see the completed work of Christ?  Why would we as the church choose to believe that we are living in a day of incompleted work when in fact we have been invited into His rest?  Why would we believe there is more to be done?  Why would we choose to believe there is a limitation to our access to God, one with restrictions?  As the church are we still in a place of needing protection from the wrath of God?  If we do need this protection does this mean that we are still in the wilderness, wandering about in ways contrary to God and proclaiming His name as ours while our hearts are far from him?  Why would we not instead lay hold of God's promise that we can enter His rest?  Do we not remember that God has created the 'sabbath for man and not man for the sabbath?' (Jesus speaking in Mark 2:27).  A Man Under Authority  - "I, also, am a man under authority, with soldiers under me" these words were spoken by the centurion whose faith Jesus commended as we see in Matthew 8:5-13. Why, from the few spoken words that came from the centurion, did Jesus marvel at his faith? Cry Mercy  - (Updated 2005)(An excerpt)  So then, how is it possible that so much of what is being taught and caught as God's glory can be so common, while requiring little of us?  Are we seeing the signs, the wonders of the revealed glory of God?  As it says in the passages in 2 Samuel 6, as well as in 1 Chron 13, the people were really excited and they were celebrating with all their might before God with all sorts of songs and all various types of musical instruments as they welcomed the return of the ark to Jerusalem.  These scriptures begin to form a picture of the excitement of the church of today, excited about the coming glory of the Lord.    We read in Chronicles that David and his officers & commanders wanted to bring the ark back because they had not inquired of it, (that would be the Lord), during the reign of Saul and they all agreed it would be the right thing to do.  However, they did not consecrate themselves first; they did not follow the very specific guidelines that God had set in place for the ark of His presence – COMING SOON - the following topics will be posted:  Preparation of the Messenger - Encompasses insights into the lives of men and women of the bible who were God's chosen instruments to carry out His purposes.  Moses - God's man for setting prisoner's free. Esther - Prepared for such a time as this. Daniel - Man of integrity, humility and purpose. Ruth - A New Beginning - Pressing forward into her destiny while overcoming the limitations of her past Ruth is a model for men and women alike on the importance of pressing forward and pursuing the greater not the lessor. Sword of Truth vs Balaam & the Nicolaitans - What are the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans?  How can you recognize these false teachings?  How can you overcome them in your own life?

Sample of Other Topics Through Footstool Ministries (Canada)

Your Children - Living Sacrifices or Burnt Offerings?  - A provocative teaching which will challenge you in your faith and your thinking.  It will cause you to reflect on what you do and choose in response to your relationship with God and the impact it has on the lives and the futures of your children. What is Honour? - We speak frequently about honour and are commanded to 'Honour your father and your mother'.  But do we really know what it means?   Why is it so important to honour our father and mother?
