In this episode we start to look at the flesh - what it is, and how it operates against the Spirit of God in our lives. Many people hear the word 'flesh', and think only of the body - but the flesh is deeper than that.  The flesh is the part of us that has learned to move out of step with truth. The good news is that the flesh is not the deepest truth about us - it is real but it is not final.

Welcome to another season of The Secret Place with Derek Peters. In this series, Derek is looking at the most disruptive and life-threatening force in the universe. A force that has in different ways, taken every person captive in some way. In this episode we look at the lies the devil tells us about ourselves.  And when those lies distort our perception of God, his strategy then is to attack your identity. But we can identify and name that distortion, we can reject agreeing with what is false, and we can bring back our minds under the control of the truths of Christ.

Welcome to another season of The Secret Place with Derek Peters. In this series, Derek is looking at the most disruptive and life-threatening force in the universe. A force that has in different ways, taken every person captive in some way. The devil's primary work is deception, and this deception begins by distorting reality just enough to make the false seem plausible. It's this reason why Jesus calls the devil a liar and the father of lies. Spiritual attack isn't really about temptation in the first instance - it's about falsehood. Derek will explore this threat of the enemy, and ways we can find the victorious power and breakthrough that God offers us.

Welcome to another season of The Secret Place with Derek Peters. In this series, Derek is looking at the most disruptive and life-threatening force in the universe. A force that has in different ways, taken every person captive in some way. It's a conflict that begins in the quiet, hidden places of thought, desire, imagination, habit and memory. The process of attack is quiet but deadly: The devil deceives - he is the father of lies. The flesh receives the lies and internalises them, which makes them part of our daily felt reality. The world's system then confirms those lies as normal. Derek will explore this threat of the enemy, and ways we can find the victorious power and breakthrough that God offers us.

God invites us not only to know Him, but to participate with Him. This participation flows naturally from the gift of His presence and our restored identity in Jesus. In this episode, Derek unpacks how we can more fully live in the presence of God, and participating with Him by aligning our hearts with God's intentions.

As we journey with God, we discover that His presence not only comforts us - it reshapes us and our identity. However we've come to see ourselves, God wants to strengthen our identity. Human identity restored by God is why Jesus was born into this earth. In this episode, Derek explores how God is continually shaping us into the people He created us to be.

Hearing God isn't a mysterious skill reserved for a select few - it's the natural expression of a relationship that is grounded in the presence of God. For many of us, the challenge has not been God's silence, but our awareness. We expect the dramatic voice of God, while He often speaks in the quiet, ordinary moments of life.

Deep within us lies a longing to belong - it's how we've been created.  We end up looking for belonging in relationships, accomplishments, environments and identities, but nothing fully satisfies us because we were actually made for belonging in the presence of God. When we discover that belonging to God is not dependent on our behaviour, our maturity or our spiritual consistency - but that it flows from God's choice, character and love. In this episode, Derek looks at ways we can fully understand belonging in the presence of God. Derek Peters is the Executive Pastor at Gateway Baptist Church in Brisbane, Australia.

One of the most transformative realisations we encounter in our walk with God is the difference between living and striving.  We assume that we need to work our way into God's presence or earn his approval. This striving wears us down and fills our heart with anxiety.  But God calls us to live from His presence, not strive for His presence. In this episode, Derek unpacks how we can walk with God, living in His presence and not striving for it.  Derek Peters is the Executive Pastor at Gateway Baptist Church in Brisbane, Australia.

The spiritual struggles we encounter are often based in our perceptions, and how we see ourselves. When our perceptions are shaped in negativity, or by our fears, misunderstandings or past betrayals, our capacity to hear the voice of God is diminished and we can find it hard to walk in God's peace. In this episode, Derek looks at how we can change our perceptions so we can draw closer to God. Derek Peters is the Executive Pastor at Gateway Baptist Church in Brisbane, Australia.

We live our lives in side the presence of God, whether we recognise it or not.  His presence is already around us and in us - it's the very atmosphere in which we live and have our being.  When we awaken to this truth, something shifts inside us. We stop seeing ourselves as outsiders trying to reach God, we understand that our very existence has been designed by Him. When we believe this in our hearts, we start to see ourselves differently.

The first step in being aware of the presence of God is to awaken to the truth that God is already with you. He has always been with us, and the idea of awakening is acknowledging that God is always with us. And when our eyes open to recognise this, His companionship becomes much more accessible to our human experience.
