Mark 2:22 Ministries, where God is transforming us into new wineskins—a place where His presence is poured out, His ways are taught, and lives are transformed.
In this installment, Pastor Kevin Diggs preaches a teaching titled "The Ascended Lifestyle." Drawing from the late-night encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3:1–17, he bridges the gap between natural religious intellect and supernatural kingdom reality.
Pastor Kevin demonstrates that Nicodemus’s core issue was not a lack of theological study, but broken spiritual eyesight resulting from an unsurrendered heart and an earthbound location. Contrasting superficial knowledge with deep, experiential intimacy (ginosko and oida), this message challenges believers to stop settling for intellectual checklists, abandon dead religious routines, and live from the heavenly throne room seated with Christ.
Key Discussion Points:
Eyesight, Location, and Identity: Why an unsurrendered life cannot perceive or enter the kingdom of God.
Beyond Head Knowledge: Contrasting academic understanding with the relational, experiential knowing of Jesus Christ.
Living from Ascension: How Jesus modeled living on earth from a heavenly perspective, opening the door for believers to sit in high places above worldly sickness and oppression.
Signs and Wonders Restored: Why believers should chase God's presence and embrace the miraculous until signs and wonders actively follow them.

Fellowship with the Mystery
In this powerful service, Pastor Kevin Diggs unpacks the inexhaustible depths of God’s glory through Ephesians 3 and 4. Challenging the modern church’s tendency to treat salvation merely as an escape from eternal damnation, Pastor Kevin reveals that we were saved into a living, ongoing partnership (koinonia) with the mystery of Christ.
He examines the Greek concept of Polypoikilos—the multifaceted, richly varied manifold wisdom of God—and explains how God uses the five-fold ministry to equip the saints and display His authority over principalities and powers in heavenly places. Drawing from the story of Mary and Martha, John 17, and Revelation 19, this message calls believers to stop relying on intellectual striving, rest at the feet of Jesus, and let the Holy Spirit strengthen their inner man so Christ can be fully manifested through a surrendered life.
Key Discussion Points:
The Unsearchable Riches of Christ: Exploring Ephesians 3:8–9 to realize that God’s lavish riches and glory have no bottom and no end.
Koinonia in the Mystery: Why the revelation of Christ does not stop at salvation, but invites believers into an active, ongoing participation in what God is doing right now.
The Manifold Wisdom Displayed: Unpacking Polypoikilos and the five-fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11–13) as God’s blueprint to manifest His power and authority to spiritual rulers and authorities.
Resting Before Doing: Looking at Mary and Martha to understand why we must linger at the feet of the Word before we can ever become effective doers of the Word.
The Testimony of Jesus as Prophecy: Discovering through Revelation 19:10 that every past work and healing of Christ is a prophetic promise that He desires to do it again and again through a surrendered people.

A Call to Intersession
In this service, Pastor Carla Diggs sets aside twenty-two pages of prepared notes to yield to a divine shift: bringing "a Thursday on a Sunday." She leads the church directly into the prayer room of Ephesians 1, calling believers out of passive religion and into deep, Spirit-led intercession for the lost, broken, and bound.
Pastor Carla reminds the church that every believer in Christ is marked and sealed with the Holy Spirit—an identity recognized across both heaven and hell. Touching on the sevenfold Spirit of God in Isaiah 11 and the authority of Jesus seated far above all rule and dominion, this message challenges believers to stop falling for the enemy’s stale lies, keep their lamps filled to overflowing with fresh oil, and boldly speak God's Word in unity.
Key Discussion Points:
A Thursday on a Sunday: Responding to the Holy Spirit’s prompting to replace human agendas with extended altar ministry and travailing prayer.
The Living Weapon: Wielding the Scripture as a double-edged (two-mouthed) sword that cuts through strongholds when our mouths align with God's Word.
Marked and Sealed: Understanding that the seal of the Holy Spirit guarantees our inheritance and establishes our spiritual authority over all darkness.
Lamps Overflowing with Oil: Examining the sevenfold Spirit of God (Isaiah 11) and refusing to let our wicks run dry, so the eyes of our hearts remain enlightened in spiritual warfare.
