Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola explain that the condition of a person’s soul determines how effectively the truth of God’s Word produces fruit in that person’s life. Worry, anxiety, religious traditions, legalism, personal experiences, guilt, shame, and condemnation can clutter the heart like rocks, weeds, and thorns in a garden. Believers are encouraged to protect what enters their minds through their eyes and ears while allowing the Holy Spirit and the living Word of God to renew their thinking. When the soil of the soul receives the truth about grace, righteousness, healing, provision, and the finished work of Jesus, that truth can produce thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and one hundredfold fruit.
This teaching explains why Jesus’ parable of the sower and the soils is essential to understanding how the kingdom of God works. The soil represents the mind, soul, beliefs, and thought patterns into which God’s Word is planted. Religious traditions, legalism, fear, anxiety, guilt, condemnation, and other corrupting influences can prevent the Word from producing fruit. As believers renew their minds, protect what they hear and see, and remain focused on what Jesus has accomplished, God’s Word can produce thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundredfold fruit in their lives.
Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola teach that God placed markers throughout His Word to reveal who Jesus is and to show believers who they have become in Christ. Just as Jesus recognized what was written about Him in the Scriptures, believers must discover and believe what God says about them. These markers declare that believers are loved, righteous, holy, sanctified, perfect, complete, healed, rich, and wise. When the mind becomes convinced of these truths and agrees with the regenerated spirit, the reality of what God has already provided can flow through the believer’s life.
Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola teach that believers must reject thoughts that contradict what God says about their identity in Christ. Although believers live in physical bodies and experience a physical world, God has given them divinely powerful spiritual weapons for tearing down destructive thoughts and long-established mental strongholds. Christians are called holy, righteous, blameless, justified, complete, and deeply loved because of what Jesus accomplished—not because of their performance. By renewing their minds and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, believers can live from their true spiritual identity.
Pastor Leonard Rola teaches that believers have been given divine power to arrest thoughts that contradict what God says about them. Christians live in physical bodies, but their battles are not won through human strength, effort, or determination. Wrong beliefs can become fortified strongholds in the mind, but those strongholds can be pulled down by bringing every thought into agreement with the completed obedience of Jesus Christ. As believers reset their thinking according to God’s knowledge of them, the supernatural life already placed within them can begin to operate freely.
Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola explain that the message God has spoken through Christ is living, powerful, and able to perform spiritual surgery within us. The Word removes unbelief and our reliance on what our natural senses tell us, freeing us to live from the Spirit and in the reality of our union with Christ. Because believers have been reconciled to God, made new, and completely loved, they can rest in what Christ has accomplished instead of struggling to change themselves. This teaching encourages believers to let the Word reveal the unseen kingdom realm and let Christ's life rule their thoughts and hearts.
The glory revealed through Jesus Christ is something no human effort, religious system, rule, or law could ever produce. Just as no fuller on earth could make a garment shine with the supernatural brilliance displayed at the transfiguration, no person can cleanse, glorify, or make himself righteous through his own works. God accomplished this miracle through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and made it ours when we believed. We do not have to beg, plead, strive, or work harder to persuade God to act; we must recognize the glory, righteousness, holiness, and miraculous life He has already placed within us.
In this teaching, Leonard Rola explains why the location of Jesus’ transfiguration gives the event added meaning: Jesus displayed His glory in the region the pastor identifies as “the place of the serpent.” The transfigured Christ also gives believers a picture of the glory and life already placed within them through their union with Him. Paul then shows how that inward reality becomes visible as believers renew their minds to the truth of grace and behold the Lord’s glory without the veil of law or legalism. The central instruction is simple: renew and behold, trusting the Holy Spirit to bring the transformation.
Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola teach that believers must stand firmly in the freedom Christ has already given them and refuse to return to religious bondage. They contrast righteousness received by faith with the belief that people must earn God’s acceptance through effort, performance, or religious works. Because of Christ’s death, believers have been reconciled to God and can stand in His presence holy, blameless, and without fault. Their central warning is simple: do not drift away from this assurance or allow anyone to place you under guilt, shame, condemnation, or insecurity.
Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola teach that believers must examine whether what they were taught about Christ agrees with the gospel Paul preached. They challenge religious ideas that portray sickness, poverty, and hardship as things God sends to punish people, build their character, or make them more spiritual. Using passages from Ephesians and John, they explain that wrong teaching and an old, fallen way of thinking can keep believers “stuck in the yuck.” Their central encouragement is to renew the mind, remain dressed in the new man, and live from the righteousness, holiness, healing, inheritance, and abundant life Christ has already provided.
Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola teach that believers have been reconciled to God through Jesus Christ and now stand in His presence, holy, blameless, and without fault. Christians are encouraged to continue believing this truth, stand firmly in it, and refuse to drift away from the assurance it provides. Because believers can approach God confidently, they do not need to live in worry, anxiety, or fear. Instead, they can bring every detail of their lives to Him through faith-filled prayer, thanksgiving, and confidence in His peace.
Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola teach that believers have already received God's grace through Jesus Christ. Grace is presented not merely as an abstract idea, but as Jesus Christ Himself—His life, power, strength, knowledge, righteousness, and provision living within the believer. Because this grace has already been delivered, believers must receive it, take hold of it, and stand firmly in what God has provided. The central message is simple and direct: everything Jesus purchased belongs to the believer, so take hold of it.
