In this teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola encourage believers to stop focusing on the “natural realm” of fear, striving, and self-effort, and instead fix their attention on Jesus. Using the story of the disciples in the storm, they show how welcoming Jesus “into the boat” brings peace and gets you to the other side. They explain that the disciples’ struggle in the boat is a picture of life under law and works, while Jesus coming to them is a picture of grace. The message closes by urging everyone to let Jesus bring His peace and to rest in what He has already done.
In this teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola explain that true spiritual authority begins by looking away from the natural realm and focusing on Jesus. They emphasize that faith is perfected when believers stop reacting to what they see and instead respond to what God reveals. Jesus Himself demonstrated this by never acting on His own initiative but only doing and speaking what He saw and heard from the Father. The message encourages believers to remove spiritual “noise,” rest in God’s love, and allow Him to initiate their use of authority.
In this teaching, Pastor Leonard (with Pastor Lori) explains that true authority for believers is not something we force by our own effort, but something we walk in by hearing God and following His direction. He shows that Jesus, even though He had all authority, did not act on His own initiative—He spoke and acted from what the Father told Him. Using Moses as a major example, the message highlights how miracles flowed when Moses obeyed God’s instruction, but trouble came when Moses acted on his own initiative. The teaching closes by encouraging believers to clear out the “noise” that blocks hearing God, so faith and true authority can rise from within.
In this session of Positioned in Readiness, Pastor Leonard and Pastor Lori Rola teach that believers are not divided between covenants but live in the finished reality of the New Covenant. They explain that the old dividing wall between law and grace has been removed and that our minds are being renovated into spacious freedom. The central focus of this message is that we have been gifted Jesus Himself—therefore, we have His perfect faith. Because we are united with Christ, everything He is and has—including His faith—has been deposited within us.
In this message, Pastor Leonard and Pastor Lori Rola teach the second “position of readiness” revealed to them by the Holy Spirit: God finds no fault in the believer. Through the finished work of Jesus Christ, believers are perfected, justified, glorified, and sealed in Christ. The Father does not condemn, does not remember sins, and does not see fault in those who are in Christ. This truth positions believers to stand firm in faith, especially in times of crisis, knowing they are forever righteous and accepted.
In this teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola emphasize that everything in the Christian life is about Jesus and what He has already finished—not about human effort. They contrast faith-confession teachings with their “grace lane,” showing how easily believers can slip into guilt and self-effort. The key warning sign is the phrase “I must not be…,” which reveals when faith has become work. They anchor the message in Ephesians 2:8–9 and Titus 3:4–7, declaring that salvation, healing, preservation, and wholeness are gifts of grace that never change.
In this teaching, Pastor Leonard Rola addresses the common belief that Christians must suffer to be glorified with Christ. He explains that this idea comes from misunderstandings of certain scriptures, especially Romans 8:17, due to poor translation and interpretation. By examining the broader context of Paul’s writings, he shows that believers are already heirs and already glorified through their union with Christ. The message emphasizes identification with Christ’s death and resurrection, rather than earning glory through suffering.
In this message, Pastor Leonard teaches that believers are meant to enjoy a rich and secure relationship with God. He explains that this richness comes from the finished work of Jesus, who removed the two major hindrances between God and people: sin and works. Through Christ, believers have been declared righteous and given permanent peace with God. When these truths are understood, fear and striving are replaced by confidence, joy, and love for God.
In this message, Pastor Leonard teaches that God leads believers into rest before they receive His blessings. Using the story of the feeding of the five thousand, he shows that God’s provision is abundant, never-ending, and meant for everyone. He explains that guilt over sin and striving through works keep people from resting in God’s grace. Through Jesus Christ, both sin and works as barriers have been removed, allowing believers to receive by faith.
In this teaching, Pastor Leonard explains how believers already have peace with God because they have been justified by faith in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that God has already supplied every need and given every spiritual blessing, but believers can experience the flow of that grace in their daily lives. Using Philippians 4, he presents a simple pathway to peace: rejoice in the Lord, pray, give thanks, and rest in God’s peace. This peace, he explains, acts like a guard over the heart and mind, keeping fear, anxiety, and stress out.
In this message, Pastor Leonard shares honestly about his own struggles with anxiety about the future and calls it “future tripping.” He teaches that Jesus instructs believers not to worry about tomorrow but to trust in God’s provision and rest in His righteousness. Instead of calculating problems and fearing what may come, believers are encouraged to rejoice, give thanks, and trust God’s timing. The message emphasizes that peace comes when we stop worrying and rely on the righteousness given through Christ.
In this message, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola teach about “markers” in the Word of God that reveal a believer’s true identity in Christ. They explain the significance of the Hebrew “Aleph and Tav,” connecting it to Jesus as the beginning and the end, and how Scripture points to Him throughout the Bible. Just as Jesus discovered His mission through the Word, believers must find the “markers” that reveal who they are in Christ. When the soul comes into agreement with these truths, the life and power of the Spirit begin to flow freely.
In this teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola explain how Jesus grew in wisdom and understanding by discovering what was written about Him in Scripture. They reveal that God placed identifying “markers” throughout the Word for Jesus—and for believers today—to find and believe. These markers define who we truly are in Christ, such as loved, righteous, holy, healed, and complete. The message encourages believers to renew their minds, agree with God’s truth, and live from what Christ has already accomplished.
