Deeper Life University Philosophy of Christ Centered Education
Deeper Life University offers a system of spiritual learning which is God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) centered and biblically and revelatory based through the practice of communion with God and the Holy scriptures.
Deeper Life University's Unique Emphases:
PRAYER + WORSHIP + COMMUNION + WORD + CROSS =
Our union with Christ becomes a living and experiential reality in and through us.
Galatians 2:20 becomes personified.
Revelation Knowledge Versus Reasoned Knowledge and the Implications for Bible Colleges and Universities
Man's/satan's knowledge: Tree of knowledge of good and evil God's Knowledge: Tree of Life
Man's/satan's knowledge: From reason - mind God's Knowledge: Through revelation - heart
Man's/satan's knowledge: Through study God's Knowledge: Through meditation-communion
Man's/satan's knowledge: Through study called "knowledge" God's Knowledge: Called "True Knowledge"
Man's/satan's knowledge: From below - producing pride God's Knowledge: From above - producing humility
Any training that centers on man, the mind and study will be man's knowledge.
Man's thoughts are not God's thoughts; man's ways are not God's ways (Isa 55:9). Even man's religious thoughts are not God's thoughts and man's religious ways are not God's ways (Which of the prophets did your fathers not kill? Acts 7:51,52).
Any training that centers on God, the heart and divine revelation will be God's knowledge.
Deeper Life University's commission from the Lord is simple and clear,
"Equipping The Saints Worldwide In Their Journey Into The Deeper Christian Life"
We seek to encourage true believers in Jesus Christ to come to know Him as their life. This is done over years of understanding the truth of the cross of Christ and our complete union with Him in that finished work. We also encourage believers to hear the Lord speaking to them personally and to come to know Him through quiet intimacy in their spirit.
There are three foundation stones of the deeper Christian life.
These are;
1. The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and His death, burial, resurrection and our union with His finished work (Romans 6). This work has caused the believer to become a new creation in Christ Jesus, washed and cleansed in His precious blood from all sin. Now as a son or daughter of the living God we are joined together as one spirit with the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthian 6:17). Christ is now the believer's life and the true believer is raised and seated in heavenly places (Colossians 3:1-4, Ephesians 2:5-6). God (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) now live inside the believer (Colossians 1:27, Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 4:6, 1 Corinthians 6:19).
2. Intimacy and fellowship (primarily through stillness and silence) in the living presence and glory of our great and mighty God (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost). (Psalm 46:10, 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 John 1:3, Philippians 2:1, Psalm 37:7, 62:5; 65:1).
3. The Holy Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:15, 2 Peter 1:20-21).
Deeper Life University's course work will encourage the believer to be grounded in all three foundations through the practical application of personal journaling, intimacy with God, and absorbing the scriptures. As a result, the student will fulfill the call of God as echoed by Paul in Philippians 3:10-11.
"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."
