Touch of God Radio - Teaching Your Identity In Christ: Recent Episodes
Pastor Marc Whelan
We train and equip the saints of the Lord in their identity in Christ. Particular emphasis on doing the Great Commission of the Lord.
It is the Lord’s desire, His Will, that you would experience what He has already promised you in His Word. That you would experience Him, to come to Know Him, to remain in divine health, to have your soul prospering amongst other promises.
God didn’t give us all an equal measure of faith just so that we could believe in His Son and receive eternal life. He gave us faith to use in everyday life, for ourselves and for others who don’t know how to use the faith in a God, that for now they chose to reject.
We are going to look at how we can be more confident in our faith that God’s Word will come to pass. Not just by being in prayer, memorizing and speaking His Word over situations, but to know His nature and His heart.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Exodus 33:12-13; Romans 12:3; 1 Corinthians 3:9; Mark 11:23; Genesis 3:6; Genesis 6:5-7; Hebrews 1:3; John 14:8-9; Matthew 8:1-3.

This week we dive into finding the path of truth. When you know the truth through the instructions given, you get results. In order to do that, we must know what lies do. A lie can keep a person stuck in a place, situation, relationship and much more. Why? Because that person cannot find the truth. Everything is based on something false and untrue. A lie can keep the person coming back because nothing makes sense. The truth breaks the chains of confusion because it is based on reality and facts. In fact, a lie holds a space until the truth replaces it. For those who are believers, you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Matthew 5:37, John 17:16-17, Ephesians 5:26, Ephesians 6:14, Proverbs 12:22, 1 Samuel 16:7, 1 John 1:6-7, Colossians 3:3-5, Matthew 6:22-24, Joshua 24:14-15, 1 John 3:18-22, Proverbs 12:17-22.

This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth of the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God. If the believer still thinks the way he or she used to think, then they continue to live with fear and anxiety, believing that the situation controls them instead of the situation being controlled by their declarations of God over the situation.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version: John 8:32, John 8:36, John 8:44, Romans 8:2, Proverbs 14:12, Proverbs 15:15, Isaiah 55:8-9, Proverbs 3:5-6, Proverbs 12:5, 1 Corinthians 2:16.

Pastor Catrice speaks on this week's topic about the heart of the Christian when finding themselves in a Wilderness.
Moses sent out scouts to report back what they found in Canaan, the land which God had given His children. However, some of them brought back an evil report because they were afraid by what they saw and didn't acknowledge the Lord and believe He would give them victory over their enemies.
When we venture into our day, or we find ourselves upon a problem or situation, what do we believe? Do we start professing doubt, repeating the devil's words spoken into our ears? Or, do we profess the Word of God and His precious promises, that my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus?
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 23:1; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Psalm 23:2-6; Philippians 4:19; Numbers 13:1; Numbers 13:17-33; Proverbs 23:7; John 12:37-40; Philippians 1:6.

Matthew 25: verses 1 to 13 – This was a story about 10 virgins, 5 virgins who were wise in what they did while waiting for Jesus and, 5 virgins who were not wise, in what they did while waiting for Jesus. In this story, 5 virgins decided to be prepared for the Lord and 5 virgins decided not to prepare for the Lord. One of the main items that was needed, while waiting for the Lord was oil in the lamps of each virgin. How can we maintain and increase oil, to be prepared for Jesus?
The Bible says to choose this day whom you will serve in Joshua 24:15 - 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Commentary - To make a choice is to pick a side to stand on and then follow that choice up with the actions that support that choice. We must choose Jesus, then follow him. You can choose good or evil. Example, A person can choose the color red and not green. If every day they are wearing green, then their actions in their life support the green side. Even if they say with their mouth that they support Red. What are your actions saying about whether you serve the devil or serve the Lord? It doesn’t matter how a person appears, the words they say. It’s about what a person does in their life when no one is looking. That’s who they really are. The actions they take and live by, shows the real God they serve. In Matthew 25: verses 1 to 13 – the 10 virgins get to dedicate their time to being obedient to what Jesus requires of them in order to get into His kingdom. Commentary – How many of us are trying to follow and do what Jesus said? How many of us are looking for destiny helpers, someone else to do the work, we should be doing. If you don’t do the work to be in Christ then you won’t be submitted to Jesus or be a part of His kingdom. Your mom can’t do your work. Your pastor can’t do your work. Your good friend can’t do your work. It must be you that remain in Christ. Yourself, no one can do it for you. Even now you have time to make a choice of whom to serve daily, Jesus or the devil. Are you the wise virgins or are you the foolish virgins? What exactly is needed to have oil for the lamp that leads to Jesus. If Jesus and His Kingdom is the prize are you still pursuing the Lord as valuable?
Topics this week:
- Making sure you have oil in your lamp and not to run out
- Those choosing to neither serve Jesus or serve the devil
- Those choosing not to prepare for Jesus and serve His will
- Signs of Jesus returning so you can get prepared and be wise

The Lord Jesus is coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle. Those who are believers, walking in spirit and truth, must focus during these times on the Lord. It is important to see and identify people, places and things that are causing, distractions, chaos and confusion in your life. Those distractions may be people sitting next to you in church. They could be people living with you. You must decide if you and that person are on the same path and choose this day Whom you serve. For those easily influenced by others, or what is popular, you can lose track of why you are at church. For this reason, we must be focused on the Kingdom of God. Many distractions can occur. Time can be consumed on the wrong thing if you are not focused in the right direction and meeting with Jesus.
We discuss the following subtopics:
- Jesus is looking for a Bride without spot or wrinkle
- Distractions
- Focus on the Lord - Do not follow others; follow only Jesus
- Spend time with God
- Whatever is important to you, that is what you focus on and give your heart to

This week concludes the series. Once we know even a part of how good the Lord is, how much He loves us, is Faithful and Trustworthy, we should conclude that there is no reason for us as believers in Jesus Christ to fear or be anxious about anything. We actually need to repent for being worried because what is not of faith is sin. (Romans 14:23).

This week we cover the following verses that do not need any introduction.
Titus 3:5
5 He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy, by [the] cleansing [bath] of the new birth (regeneration) and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Romans 5:1-3
1 Therefore, since we are justified ([a]acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to [b]enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
2 Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God’s favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.
3 Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.
Hebrews 13:5
5 Let your [a]character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] [b]Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor [c]give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [d][I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor [e]let [you] down ([f]relax My hold on you)! [[g]Assuredly not!]

Let us thank the Lord today that His Word is not only forever settled in heaven (Ps 119:89), but it also purifies our soul.
Are you saved now? Are you one of God’s children? Do you remember, we were all once in darkness, in a filthy place, rolling around in sin like scarlet and crimson from Isaiah 1:18, we were like pigs in a pigsty. Filthy muddy from the bottom of our feet to the top of our head, enjoying the pleasures of our flesh, but seemingly lost. Never having experienced the cleansing power of the Love, Nature and the Blood of Christ Jesus, and how His Word is able to cleanse us of all of that filth. Even today, we are born again and we still make mistakes. It ‘s not the Lord’s will for us to keep sinning, His will is for us to be grow up into Christ. Being like Him by our obedience to His Word, to His commandments, and by the power of the holy Spirit we are transformed when we slow down and chew, meditate on His Word, according to Romans 12:1 and 2.
So if and when you slip up, and you feel dirty and guilty inside, in your soul, your mind, will and emotions…… let us read how the blood, the finished Works of Jesus, the Word of Life now benefits us when it comes to being set free from all sin and sickness. God has made provision by the blood of Jesus, the Word of God, the Word of Life, for us to be cleansed.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 119:89, Romans 12:1-2, 1 John 1:1-10, Ephesians 5:25-26, Matthew 5:16, Romans 11:36, 2 Corinthians 5:17.

We began last week to talk about reflecting on how Good God is, and how Good He is to us, in the face of us rebelling against Him as we trace back our original lineage to Adam and Eve and the decision that day at the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil, to reject the Lord and obey the devil (Genesis 3:6). This was the great fall of mankind, and the earth fell with us because we had been given dominion over it, and we gave it over to Satan in the great mistake.
All babies born to this day and until Christ returns are born from that polluted lineage, fallen in nature, growing up selfish, and committing various forms of wickedness because we were following after our father the devil. John 8:44 shows us that we had his characteristics. The decision that tragic day caused a huge chasm to form between us and our loving, Mercidul, Graceful, Holy, Great, Glorious, Forgiving, Creator.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Lamentations 3:22–23, Isaiah 30:18, Psalm 103:1-13, Romans 10:9, 1 Peter 1:3, 1 Peter 1:19, Ephesians 2:4–6, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Titus 3:5, Romans 5:1-3.

How Good is He? How GREAT is He? How wonderful and immense is His Grace, his undeserved favor for humanity. He loves and cares for the lost. He also loves and cares for those whom made him their Lord, and became His children. He rains on the just and unjust alike.
God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God’s will) (Romans 2:4).
What better way to spend life, than to reflect and have a relationship with Jesus? You may or may not agree with this, depending on where you are in your journey with the Lord. It’s ok, God is not angry with you if you are not reading His Word or spending time with Him. But He certainly longs for you to come closer to Him by your own decision, your own Free Will.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 147:1-20, Romans 2:4, Psalm 136:1, Romans 8:29, Mark 8:35, Lamentations 3:22–23, James 1:17, John 8:44, Matthew 5:14-16, Ephesians 4:17-19.

Sometimes people can unknowingly be serving other gods and idols. How? By not taking the time to really know who Jesus is, and by continuing to serve a fake Jesus created in their own minds — shaped by popular opinions and false ideas about Him.
What do I mean by this? When our own desires become louder than Jesus — louder than truly knowing Him and obeying what the Lord says — that desire has become an idol.
Some people’s idea of Jesus is that He exists to do magic for them. That is what they are looking for. They live in a world where they go to people for magic in their lives, so when they come to Jesus, they expect the same thing. They don’t realize that magic is an evil thing. They hold on to the idea that everyone — including God — works like the idol they have created in their mind.
Some people want Jesus to strike down the people they don’t like. Yes, I know that sounds eye-opening, but it’s true. They are used to removing people they don’t like in their own lives, and they expect Jesus to operate the same way.
Some people only want the power of Jesus and not Him.
2 Timothy 3:5 — “For although they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].”
Some want Jesus to be nothing more than a bank machine who stays silent. They are used to getting only what they want and nothing more. Some people don’t want to hear correction, truth, holiness, or righteousness — they just want the blessings of Jesus.
God wants you to realize that some requests you make of Him are contrary to His will. He cannot do evil. In Him there is no darkness at all, so to ask Him to do evil is not who He is or what He does.
1 John 1:5 — “And this is the message [the message of promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [no, not in any way].”
Commentary: It is important to begin to know who God truly is so we can pray, live, and understand effectively as we grow.
Matthew 7:22-23 — “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?’ And then I will say to them openly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].’”
You can see that it’s not about getting what we want — knowing Jesus is what truly matters.
Key Points:
- Creating a version of Jesus vs. who He really is
- Vain imagination
- Renew your mind in order to know the Lord
- Finding Jesus

You might be thinking, why are we doing a part 4 on idol worship? Because it’s time to wake up to the reality of the things you are doing to yourself. Yes, there are things that the devil tries to do, but sometimes the enemy doesn’t even have to attack you because you are attacking yourself. Sabotaging yourself, feeding the darkness in your life yourself. Yes, you might be your own weapon formed against yourself.
Luke 19:10 - 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
Commentary - Sometimes, we are lost and it’s not because of the idols. Make sure you are just lost and not a part of, deliberately defying or running away from Jesus. Why, an idol has no power unless we give it power. How, we open the door ourselves to sin and evil. God’s warning - Exodus 20:3 says - 3 You shall have no other gods before or besides me.
We decide to do the action of coming into agreement with idols and worshipping them. We decide to make bad choices, we decide to be around evil people, things, to get what we think they will give us. It is people who carry out the sin by agreeing to do things.
Example – Some people have decided to go to witch doctors and let evil into their lives. Some people are doing witchcraft. It’s people who have abused children. Then they cry out for the Lord to help them after killing, stealing and destroying. Yes, idols are a part of things but you have to agree to do the sin, go in debt, have sex outside of marriage, steal someone’s things, not pay your bills, spend the money, not study for school exams. These are only some examples. Remember we reap what we have sown. This means what you have done to others, wished against others, prayed against others, it’s all coming back to you. Do you have fear of the Lord now?
Hosea 4:6 - 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
Revelation 3:10 - 10 Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth.
Biblical idol definition - 1 John 5:21 - Little children, keep yourselves from idols (false gods)— [from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life]. Amen (so let it be).
Topics for this week:
- We can be our own worst enemy
- Know the devices of the enemy
- Results of worshipping idols, continued
- Removing idol worship from your life

Last week we left off talking about idols—specifically, how you cannot serve two masters, the results of worshipping idols, and removing idol worship from your life. It is important to really pay attention here. We can all overlook things that we think are not important. The key is that the things we think are not important may actually matter a great deal. We must train ourselves to see what Jesus thinks is important for us to have or not have in our lives. If we are the only ones evaluating our own lives, and we think we are perfect, we will likely never identify the issues and idols hidden there. Remember, if you want your life to follow Jesus, you need to become a disciple of Christ and do what He says. If you are not following Jesus and obeying all that the Bible says, then you are following idols. If you are not serving Jesus Christ, you are serving other idols. An idol can be anything that takes the place of God as the most important focus and priority in our life.
Topics for this week:
- You Cannot Serve Two Masters (continued)
- Finding Out Who Your God Is
- Results of Worshipping Idols
- Removing Idol Worship from Your Life
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 5:21, Matthew 6:24, 1 Kings 18:21, Luke 6:43–49, 1 Corinthians 10:6–11, Exodus 20:13–17, Hebrews 12:5–11, Leviticus 26:14–23.

Many people are looking for solutions to their current challenges, trials, and difficult life situations.
So many people are desperate to get the things, people, or opportunities they desire that they are willing to do evil—lying, cheating, stealing, controlling others, or even practicing witchcraft—to make things go their way. This is evil. It is coveting, idolatry, addiction, and serving false gods, ungodly statues, altars, shrines, graves, and dead people. It includes offering sacrifices to other gods in an attempt to force, manipulate, or control people, situations, or opportunities.
The truth is, if you are doing these evil things, there is always a price to pay. When you serve Jesus Christ, the Bible says in Matthew 10:8: "....Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give.”
Topics include:
- If you are not serving Jesus Christ, you are serving other idols. What idols have you made your god?
- You cannot serve two masters.
- Results of worshipping idols.

How many of us want to move forward but feel stagnant, running in so many directions and doing so many things? Eventually, we realize we are not moving forward the way we would like or the way we thought we were. Many people use the phrase: “I am hitting up against a wall.” This means there are obstacles in the way, you’re going nowhere, and you are stagnant. This is a sign that you are going the wrong way or doing the wrong things. It’s like driving on the road and looking for the turn you’re supposed to take. You can tell the turn should have come up by now, but it’s taking too long. All the signs are pointing to something being wrong. This means it’s time to pause, conserve your energy, and regather yourself to come up with a new plan that works — because what you’re doing is not working. All your efforts, all your knowledge, and all your information are leading you to a dead end. Truly, God is trying to tell you something. Those who are listening can hear God. Those who are not listening can see the signs by now. The big sign in your life is this: something is wrong.
We discuss the following topics:
- What are the obstacles that can be in your way?
- Who is God in your life?
- Understand that Jesus, who is bigger and wiser than you, is in control.
- The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Following God's instructions can be rewarding, if that is what you are following. We must however first look at our motive and heart posture. If what you are asking God is different from what is truly in your heart, it can get confusing. Why? Because the motive of the heart can leave you going up and down. Are you following what God wants, or what you want? Can you trust your own heart?

Focusing on Numbers chapter 20 this week and the incident at the Rock with Moses, Aaron and the Assembly of the Children of Israel. How important it is to be obedient to the Lord's commandments, and be led by His voice within our conscience. The importance of acknowledging the Lord for all good things in our witness to others, especially the lost as well as the saved that are still in the early stages of knowing Him. There is no such thing as chance, luck or coincidence.

For those who love the Lord [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed], what eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for them. This is what 1 Corinthians 2:9 speaks about. The believer in Jesus can rest in peace and joy, but also know they have a hope and a future.
This contrasted with the lack of hope and a future for those who decide to reject Christ, not believe or accept Him, and foolishly and rashly utter things they do not understand (Job 42:3). While being blinded by the devil (2 Corinthians 4:4), they have the ability to receive Christ as Lord but some carry on as they are on the broad path, deceived by their own futile understanding lacking divine Wisdom. Such is the peril of those trusting in their own personal beliefs that contradict the Truth of the Word of our Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

According to Proverbs 15:15 (AMPC): 'All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances].'
This week we focus on guarding our hearts and minds, so that what we think, believe and ponder on remains fixed on that which lines up with the very Word of the Living God Almighty. Else we permit evil circumstances to come against us each day, regardless of our knowledge or ignorance of these principles. Worse, we question or even blame our Heavenly Father on how he could have allowed us to have such a bad day!
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; Hebrews 13:8; Proverbs 15:15; Psalm 118:24; Isaiah 1:18; Revelation 3:20; Colossians 1:13; 2 Timothy 5:16; Psalm 138:22; Peter 3:9; Matthew 7:13-14; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 2 Corinthians 4:4.

The power of your tongue can never be underestimated. The mouth of Zachariah was shut by the angel Gabriel, because his heart was in doubt. Gabriel needed to prevent Zachariah from speaking doubt over the subject of the angel’s message about the baby that was to be born by Zachariah and Elizabeth - John the Baptist. This, compared to the response given by Mary, Mother of Jesus, to a similar message, this time about the The Immaculate Conception of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, about The Virgin Birth of Jesus, given by the same angel.

This week we talk about seeking first the Kingdom of God. Far too often when we think about success, it is about money, power, cars, and an attractive person.
Success in God's Kingdom has nothing to do with these things. Many forget about Jesus and what He died for. We must remember Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus has nothing to do with the material things of the world. When you put Jesus first, then the things of the Lord become priority instead. It then is no longer about fleshly desires.

Truly I tell you, that you can pray all day, but if you are not praying God’s Will, then you are praying outside of God’s Will.
When we pray outside of God’s Will, those prayers are outside of the Kingdom of God. For example, a person prays "Lord, please bless my affair with my mistress. Bless me so I can continue to cheat on my wife." This is outside of God’s Will. Another example: "Lord, I don’t like my parent. Can you strike them down? The motives of these prayers are not rooted and grounded in the Lord, they are coming from a place not represented by the Heart of the Father. They are coming from those who have fellowship with darkness. This is outside of God’s Will.
- Pray, Not my will but Yours be done
- How are we to pray?
- God’s Will starts with salvation
- What does it mean to be born of the flesh and born of the Spirit?
- Only God’s Word accomplishes and does not return void
- God prepares the way for you when you live, pray, study, acknowledge, and do His Will

Many are seeking God’s face in the wrong way. Sadly, if we do not educate ourselves on the Lord’s instructions, in the Bible, we will not see progress in our lives. God hears all of our prayers. If we are not praying God's Will be done, our prayers are not hitting the Throne Room.
You see, only the fervent (white hot) prayers of the righteous availeth much (James 5:16). If you are not submitted to God (James 4:7) and saved (Romans 10:9), that is the first step. Following God's instructions and not our own is the second step. Why? Because when you become saved, while you believed God raised Jesus from the dead, you are also required to confess Jesus as your Lord (Romans 10:9). So Jesus is now leading you in your life. Your life is not your own; you have been bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20). Similar to an employee of a company, where there is a boss: the employee has to follow the rules, it is no longer what the employee wants any longer. Well, the same applies to the Lord's Kingdom, except the Lord paid a very great price for you, and loves you, both far more than any company would have paid for you. Not only this, the Grace of God actually allows you enjoy serving Him and there is no longer a separation between you and your Creator because Jesus has paid your punishment, in your stead... instead of you.
Topics this week:
-
If you’re not submitted to God that is half the problem
-
If you are still doing things your way, then you are not submitted to Jesus (James 4:7)
-
God’s Ways are Higher
-
Only God’s Word accomplishes and does not return void
-
Serving the devil and praying to Jesus will not get you breakthrough with the Lord
-
God prepares the Way for you when you live, pray, study, acknowledge, and do His Will

This week we look at God's Grace. God is love, and so it is the love of the Great Jehovah for His creation, that reveals itself through His grace (undeserved favor) and mercy (withholding of deserved punishment). All of humanity gets to choose whether to love God in return, receive the undeserved free gift of salvation.

The Lord Jesus is coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle. Those who are believers, walking in spirit and truth, must focus during these times on the Lord. It is important to see and identify people, places and things that are causing, distractions, chaos and confusion in your life. Those distractions may be people sitting next to you in church. They could be people living with you. You must decide if you and that person are on the same path and choose this day Whom you serve. For those easily influenced by others, or what is popular, you can lose track of why you are at church. For this reason, we must be focused on the Kingdom of God. Many distractions can occur. Time can be consumed on the wrong thing if you are not focused in the right direction and meeting with Jesus.
We discuss the following subtopics:
- Jesus is looking for a Bride without spot or wrinkle
- Distractions
- Focus on the Lord - Do not follow others; follow only Jesus
- Spend time with God
- Whatever is important to you, that is what you focus on and give your heart to

When we follow the steps of Jesus, we are not walking in our own strength. Jesus went before us and prepared a way. This way we just follow Jesus and do not have to figure things out.
Jesus is the Door to Life. Short cuts will not help you get to Jesus. There are no other paths, but the narrow path to walk in the footsteps of the Lord. John chapter 10 verses 9 to 10 (Jesus’ speaking): 9 I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture. 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
11 I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep.
When we come to the Lord it is because we are searching to walk the right way in life. When you decide to choose Jesus you choose Life.
The topics this week include:
- Following Jesus as Lord
- Why do believers follow Jesus rather than men?
- Discipleship is necessary through following Jesus
- Be Disciplined and Listen to Instruction

Proverbs 17 verse 13 says, 13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
There is only one way for evil to leave your home. You must stop allowing it in your house. This is why people need Jesus. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17). If Jesus does not dwell in your home then other things will. Freedom means following in the footsteps Jesus left you.
If you're tired of your spiritual atmosphere, of serving a evil spirit or tired of engaging in witchcraft, come into the light with Jesus. Change your god to God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus made a way where there was no way. It’s up to us to follow in the way of Jesus. It’s up to us to do the work. No one can make a person live holy, read their bible, fast, pray, and do all that’s in the Word that Jesus died for. It is instead up to us to choose this day Whom we serve.
The topics this week include:
- Why should we follow Jesus?
- Jesus has already overcome the world.
- Jesus paid a price for you.
- Jesus left us with instructions on how we can be set free and set others free.
- How do we know how to follow Jesus?
- Jesus is the Word of Life, so read your bible, day and night.
- What choices do we have for our life?
- Who is responsible for our life choices and direction?

It is very important for those newly saved to be able to find a church to continue to grow in Christ. In some of today's churches there seems to be a charge for joining a discipleship group. A charge or collection for healing, deliverance, prophecy. Inside some churches, coffee, books, food are being sold. So much is about sales and making money. A new believer must think the church looks more like a place of business than a house of worship unto the Lord. If Jesus turned over tables in the church for selling when He was alive, he definitely would turn them over today. What must God think of sending His Son here to die, and see people now charging for deliverance and healing?
-What should believers see and be discipled at Church.
-What are new believers finding in some ministries today?
-What is the Truth, the Way to Jesus, the Life to live?
-Eliminating confusion about the Truth as a believer.
-Comparing what is done in some churches, versus what is in the Bible.

The truth is, the world you see on social media is not real. Clothes are borrowed, selfie backdrops are designed and props are bought to create the image the creator wants people to believe exists. All these things are created just to get you to believe that what you see is real, and cause you to want those things or that lifestyle. Because that lifestyle and those things are not real, you can not base your real life on a computer image. This season, come out from what the world is telling you to celebrate and celebrate real life abundantly.
We discuss the following topics:
- Christmas the way the world wants you to live, according to the desires of the flesh.
- Spiritual cycles of bondage that is increased around Christmas
- Christmas life in balance and not through addiction/temptation
- Christmas, living life according to the Spirit
- Thankfulness

The act of sitting on a chair in a Jesus-centered church does not make a person saved. Will some people wait until they feel hell on their back before getting right with God? It is not until life gets challenging that some even call out to God. We are required to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2 verse 12). Other people cannot get saved and repent for you. When Jesus is not a lifestyle, He is not Lord in all areas of your life or in any area. Do not wait until it is too late and be unprepared.
We discuss the following topics:
-Trying to Learn during emergencies, trauma and emotions
-Jesus put training into place for us to overcome this world In Him, and be prepared
-Some of the Life application benefits from having a lifestyle In Christ to keep you prepared and on the straight and narrow path to the Lord
-To be like Jesus
-Our assignment and what God has called you to, to set the captives free

This week we continue with Part 2 of 'Not Every Door Leads to Life.' This week we focus on moving towards the path of Life. Identifying the correct doors. Understanding what it takes to find and remain on the narrow path that leads to Life.
Remember: every person, place, or thing is a door. Why? Because each require you to allow a person into your life. You agree to enter the door of a location and you agree to use every object to let it into your life. If Jesus was a door then people can be doors that lead you into their lives and agreements for what they do.
We discuss the following topics:
- Identifying the path to Jesus.
- How can we find the Gates that lead to Life and the Lord?
- Who shall enter the Gates of the Lord?
- What are the benefits of seeking the Door to Life through Jesus?
- What good is it to gain the world and lose your soul?

Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it (Matthew 7:13-14 AMPC).
We discuss the following subtopics:
- What are Doors?
- Doors that lead to the devil through the desires of the flesh.
- What can I do to resist temptation?
- How do we know which door leads to Life?

This week we are talking about overcoming, through the power of doing the Lord's fast and praying. We will discuss the benefits of fasting.
The Lord's Fast - Isaiah 58 verse 5 - (Amplified Classic Version) - 5 Is such a fast as yours what I have chosen, a day for a man to humble himself with sorrow in his soul? [Is true fasting merely mechanical?] Is it only to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him [to indicate a condition of heart that he does not have]? Will you call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 [Rather] is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke?
7 Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house—when you see the naked, that you cover him, and that you hide not yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?
8 Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking,
10 And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday.
11 And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.
12 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

Prerequisites are smaller amounts of information that build a foundation to support bigger steps in believing in the Lord. The thoughts you fill your day with are what you become.

In this week's episode, we continue our discussion on resisting the devil so he will flee. This week, we focus on how Jesus resisted the devil. We also discuss some of the things Jesus left us to help us resist the devil. Jesus led by example when He became flesh and lived how we lived. Who better knows how to overcome evil than Jesus, who defeated the grave?

This week we will be talking about how to Resist the Devil and he will flee from you. How does resisting the devil improve your blessings? Any attacks you may be experiencing could be because you might not be hidden in Christ. In order to be hidden in Christ, you actually have to be in Christ. The presence of the Lord must be upon you in your every day lifestyle. A person must be submitted to God and not just visiting Jesus for a current problem.

This week we are speaking about the types of entitlement that could be in a person's life. What happens when we are still behaving entitled as adults? When things in life do not go our way, are we taking things into our own hands and committing sin so we get what we want? How did the Lord deal with those who were entitled in the wilderness? Is someone you know only around because they feel entitled to get things from you and do not actually like you?

This week we are speaking about self worth. By not knowing your self worth you can miss out on your blessings. Jesus found us worthy enough to die for. When a person does not know their self worth, they can be abused and devalued. Thankfully God made a way for those in Christ.

1 John chapter 5, verse 21 (AMPC) says "Little children, keep yourselves from idols (false gods)—[from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life]. Amen (so let it be)."
If we are wondering what is keeping us from blessings, know that we need to love what God loves and remove what replaces Him in our lives. IDOLS, things you're addicted to, and cannot stop worshipping, are what is keeping you from moving forward in Christ.

This week we are looking at what could be blocking your blessings in your life. When we buy a house or car, we find out what the instructions are for owning what we have been given. With blessings from God, do we even know what the blessing is? What can we be blessed with from God? What are God's Blessings? What is a Curse? Sometimes a delay in receiving or experiencing God's blessings are from not knowing the fine print of what you are entitled to.
What are the instructions? Are you following them? Are you helping blessings or curses come about in your life? Thinking we know what God's blessings are, is not the same as knowing you are walking in God's blessings.

This week we dive into finding the path of truth. When you know the truth through the instructions given, you get results. In order to do that, we must know what lies do. A lie can keep a person stuck in a place, situation, relationship and much more. Why? Because that person cannot find the truth. Everything is based on something false and untrue. A lie can keep the person coming back because nothing makes sense. The truth breaks the chains of confusion because it is based on reality and facts. In fact, a lie holds a space until the truth replaces it. For those who are believers, you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

Following God's instructions can be rewarding, if that is what you are following. We must however first look at our motive and heart posture. If what you are asking God is different from what is truly in your heart, it can get confusing. Why? Because the motive of the heart can leave you going up and down. Are you following what God wants, or what you want? Can you trust your own heart?

In the world today there are so many sources of information and instructions. As believers in Christ, we need to ask if these instructions are from the Lord.

This week we are continuing with Part 2 of 'Are Those God's Instructions?' This week we look at the idea of hearing from God, instead of following our own path. When we trust God, rely upon, depend upon Him, He can direct our paths. God wants to establish you in all your ways. We just need to decide if we are tired of our decisions in life and ready to be directed by the Great I AM.

We all have big dreams and plans that we want to work. As believers we must understand that apart from God we can do nothing. If your plans are not submitted to God and prayed about, you might not be with the Lord on everything. If you're not in Christ, this could be why some things don't work out.

The final program in this series summarizes the key points covered in the entire series over the past nine weeks. The Truth that the born-again believer cannot have a generational curse, has been blessed by God with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places, and cannot be cursed because God has only blessed and not cursed His children. Additional supporting Scripture is also included from each episode in the series in this summary.

Not only does the son or daughter not have to worry about bearing the sins or a generational curse from their fathers and ancestors, but if you turn around and live right, you will not even have to bear your own sin!
The Lord remembers no more the transgressions of the wicked man that turns from his wicked ways and keeps the Lord's statutes, and does that which is lawful and right. Ezekiel 18:22 shows the Lord stating this person shall live.
For those who believe that the Lord takes pleasure in the death of the wicked, they are proved wrong in Ezekiel 18:23. "Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord, and not rather that he should turn from his evil way and return [to his God] and live?"

As we progress through this series, we see the progression of this topic in Scripture itself. From recent episodes we have seen that the Lord did not visit the children of the third and fourth generation of fathers that committed sin as long as those children loved the Lord and kept His commandments. The false teachings in the church about generational curses often do not teach this important clarifying truth!
In this episode, we see the progression of how the Lord decides to handle sin in the Old Testament. We see from studying Ezekiel chapter 18 in today's program the Lord putting a stop to an old proverb being spoken. That proverb illustrating that the children were having to pay for the sins and iniquities of their fathers.
We also read today in Ezekiel chapter 18 that all souls are the Lord's, and it is in fact the soul that commits the sin is the one that dies, not a child or a father of the one that sins. The Lord speaks to Ezekiel and gives examples of a just son not paying for the sins of his unjust father. Likewise, a just father not paying for the sins of his son.

In 1 Timothy 1:3-4, the Apostle Paul instructs Timothy to "...admonish and charge certain individuals not to teach any different doctrine, 4 Nor to give importance to or occupy themselves with legends (fables, myths) and endless genealogies, which foster and promote useless speculations and questionings." In Titus we see we are to "avoid stupid and foolish controversies and genealogies and dissensions and wrangling about the Law, for they are unprofitable and futile."
This is further proof that the Christian should never attempt to search their ancestry line in attempt to find the root cause of their problem. Doing so is an act of blindness to the truth, and further pointless entrapment by the devil. Instead the believer should already understand that their old self died and was buried with Christ, and themselves now a new creation, a new species which never existed before, has been made alive in Christ. No generational curses exist in the newly created believer.
Stay abiding in Christ (John 15); do not bring back your old self from the dead. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2) so you now think like Jesus and your new Heavenly Father, instead of like Satan, your former father (John 8:44).
We also learn in Exodus that even in the Old Testament, the Lord NEVER visited the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who LOVED Him and kept His commandments.

"How can I curse those God has not cursed? Or how can I [violently] denounce those the Lord has not denounced?", so says Balaam to Balak as recorded in Numbers 23:8 (AMPC). God has given the believer every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places. You cannot be cursed and blessed at the same time. Therefore the believer in Christ cannot have a generational curse, even if he or she had one before receiving Jesus as Lord. The believer in Christ IS set free from all generational curses and can never be attacked or connected to one in the future.
We also discuss the power of our tongues that are able to bring borth blessing and cursing according to James 3:10.

Proverbs 26 verse 2 shows us that an unjustified curse will not affect its target. The verse gives us the imagery of birds flying by to illustrate that an undeserved curse does not settle on its intended victim. God's justice ensures that curses without merit do not harm the innocent, emphasizing the importance of living righteously and avoiding actions that might invite curses. This concept provides comfort to those facing unjust accusations or curses, reminding them that such curses are ineffective if they remain blameless.
If the born again believer in Christ understands and believes in the variety of scripture that shows God’s divine protection for those that seek Him, then nothing shall by any means hurt that person. (see Luke 10:19). Where the believer runs into trouble is when he or she believes that generational curses can still connect to them and affect them. It is like anything in the Bible. It only comes true for the person reading, when that person finds out the truth and then decides to believe in it, taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ, and rejecting any false teachings, including on this topic of generational curses.
Any problem for the believer is not a generational curse, but their own actions. God has provided a way of escape from sin through trusting and leaning on His Son Jesus, being cleansed of sin and being set free FROM it after the believer confesses his or her sins. The believer simply needs to – believe – the scriptures that reveal the truth that they are set free by the finished works of Christ, repent (turn from) their sinful ways and actions and walk with Jesus with a heart of purity to the best of their ability.
We also consider that the life of the believer is not necessarily a life guaranteed free of committing sin. It is extremely unlikely for a truly born again believer to desire habitual sin, since the heart of the Christian is going through a continual process of sanctification. However that does not mean sin does not occur, albeit hopefully with a sorrowful and repentant heart. How quickly the believer repents is the difference between one with a heart after Jesus, and one who is not trying to keep themselves unstained by the world. For the one with their heart focused on and seeking the Lord, that abiding with Jesus and the fellowship in the secret place ensures the continual divine protection from generational curses, and other evils from the powers of darkness and the enemies therein. (see Psalm 91:1-2 AMPC).

The myth that it is possible to search for a sin committed by an ancestor in order to break a generational curse is a lie. Most people do not want to declare their sins to God, much less to their family members. So what makes us believe that we would know our ancestor’s sin in order to break the generational curse?
In any case it does not matter. The generational curse cannot “jump the tracks” to the believer in Christ, since, ‘ the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!’ (2 Corinthians 5:17)

The peril of “giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach” (1 Timothy 4:1) through someone you thought knew the truth of the Word of God. Instead they did not renew their mind and are teaching from their carnal understanding – the place where devils can teach us their own doctrines.
One area where this is unfortunately prevalent is those that teach others the lie that a Christian, the New Creature in Christ, can be subjected to the effects of a generational curse.
This week we talk amongst other things about the importance of doing your own research in the Word of God; asking the Holy Spirit to guide you into the Truth and validate what you are hearing from ministers. Failing to do so risks you inadvertently believing the lie is actually the truth and remaining in bondage to sin, addictions etc or whatever your captivity looks like. When, in fact, Galatians 5:1 says that Christ has made the believer free, and for that person not to return to a yoke of slavery.

Today marks the beginning of a new series on the truth about Generational Curses. We will be studying the Word of God in order to show that it is not possible for a born again believer, a Christian, to have a generational curse. The Lord came to set the captives free. If you are born again and believe you are still under some form of a curse, you captive in a lie born of doctrines of devils. These false teachings have permeated the understanding of some ministers and their churches. They may mean well in their hearts, but they are nevertheless deceived. As a result, some parts of the Lord's flock are staying in bondage even though Christ has paid for them to be set free.
The Lord certainly does not want any of His people to perish through lack of knowledge, or for you to reject the knowledge He has provided in His Word in order for you to truly be set free.

This week we are talking about overcoming, through the power of doing the Lord's fast and praying. We will discuss the benefits of fasting.
The Lord's Fast - Isaiah 58 verse 5 - (Amplified Classic Version) - 5 Is such a fast as yours what I have chosen, a day for a man to humble himself with sorrow in his soul? [Is true fasting merely mechanical?] Is it only to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him [to indicate a condition of heart that he does not have]? Will you call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 [Rather] is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke?
7 Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house—when you see the naked, that you cover him, and that you hide not yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?
8 Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking,
10 And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday.
11 And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.
12 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now. Even as the born again also groan inwardly, the Holy Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness. Even when we do not know how to pray, the Holy Spirit goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.

This week we walk through the following passage of Scripture. We will let it Speak for Itself:
Romans 6:6-18 (Amplified Classic Version):
6 We know that our old (unrenewed) self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that [our] body [which is the instrument] of sin might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin.
7 For when a man dies, he is freed (loosed, delivered) from [the power of] sin [among men].
8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9 Because we know that Christ (the Anointed One), being once raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him.
10 For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him].
11 Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.
12 Let not sin therefore rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions.
13 Do not continue offering or yielding your bodily members [and [l]faculties] to sin as instruments (tools) of wickedness. But offer and yield yourselves to God as though you have been raised from the dead to [perpetual] life, and your bodily members [and [m]faculties] to God, presenting them as implements of righteousness.
14 For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you, since now you are not under Law [as slaves], but under grace [as subjects of God’s favor and mercy].
15 What then [are we to conclude]? Shall we sin because we live not under Law but under God’s favor and mercy? Certainly not!
16 Do you not know that if you continually surrender yourselves to anyone to do his will, you are the slaves of him whom you obey, whether that be to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness (right doing and right standing with God)?
17 But thank God, though you were once slaves of sin, you have become obedient with all your heart to the standard of teaching in which you were instructed and to which you were committed.
18 And having been set free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in thought, purpose, and action).

Our soul (mind, will and emotions) is not transformed when we give our life to Christ. Our free will choice has full control over when it wants to begin transformation. This process only begins once we accept the Word of God (the Bible) as the Truth, and do it, not just hearing it, deceiving ourselves.
While the portion of our mind that isn't yet renewed is carnal, and at enmity (war) with God, He still loves us nonetheless and wants us to be set free from our old understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
The soul that has been rescued by the Father through His Son Jesus, from out of the Kingdom of Darkness and into God's Own Kingdom has now been set free from sin. That is because the Christian is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), which is not subjected to the law of sin and death any more. That old self was buried in Christ. The Christian now has to make sure they continue to seek Jesus and remain in Christ, such that they are protected from slipping back into the world from which they were delivered from, and from which they were conformed to before. God created you to be you, the new you, not the fallen you. God has plans to prosper you, to give you a hope and a future, not to harm you. You now get to walk with God while His Word is transforming you..... for the first time since we were
separated at the Tree in the Garden.

We used to sin before we were born again due to our fallen sinful nature. We were originally created in the image of God but our spirits fell when we obeyed Satan instead of God in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:6). For the born again Christian who made the decision for Christ, God has replaced the fallen spirit with a new regenerated one. God continues to transform the new believer's heart based on the will of the person. Throughout the ongoing transformative experience, the mind of the believer still has the free will choice to obey or disobey God’s commandments.

When a tragedy occurs, on the surface, one might ask "God, why if you are good, and so loving, would you allow this to happen?" In this series we will discover there is much to understand beneath this surface, including the difference between man and God's definition of "Good".

Do you trust in the Lord for your future as we go into 2025? The Lord reveals to us the power of our imagination in the story of the Tower of Babel.
The key to moving forward is a spiritual path. Why? Because of 2 Corinthians 5 verse 7 “For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.”
Lastly, in Zechariah 4 verse 6 it says “… Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts.”

Although this is Christmas for some, many can not celebrate with family. Why, because Covid, political parties and religious beliefs have caused change within the family. Many look around and say, Who is my family? Family use to have same belief systems in general and ability to stay together. For believers, a new spiritual family arises, those who do the work of the ministry of Jesus Christ.

The power of your tongue can never be underestimated. The mouth of Zachariah was shut by the angel Gabriel, because his heart was in doubt. Gabriel needed to prevent Zachariah from speaking doubt over the subject of the angel’s message about the baby that was to be born by Zachariah and Elizabeth - John the Baptist. This, compared to the response given by Mary, Mother of Jesus, to a similar message, this time about the The Immaculate Conception of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, about The Virgin Birth of Jesus, given by the same angel.

It is the Lord’s desire, His Will, that you would experience what He has already promised you in His Word. That you would experience Him, to come to Know Him, to remain in divine health, to have your soul prospering amongst other promises.
God didn’t give us all an equal measure of faith just so that we could believe in His Son and receive eternal life. He gave us faith to use in everyday life, for ourselves and for others who don’t know how to use the faith in a God, that for now they chose to reject.
We are going to look at how we can be more confident in our faith that God’s Word will come to pass. Not just by being in prayer, memorizing and speaking His Word over situations, but to know His nature and His heart.

This week we are talking about overcoming, through the power of doing the Lord's fast and praying. We will discuss the benefits of fasting.
The Lord's Fast
Isaiah 58 verse 5 - Amplified Classic Version - 5 Is such a fast as yours what I have chosen, a day for a man to humble himself with sorrow in his soul? [Is true fasting merely mechanical?] Is it only to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him [to indicate a condition of heart that he does not have]? Will you call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 [Rather] is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke?
7 Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house—when you see the naked, that you cover him, and that you hide not yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?
8 Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking,
10 Andif you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday.
11 And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.
12 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

How important it is to be obedient to the Lord's commandments, and be led by His voice within our conscience.

5 And this is the message [the message of [a]promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [[b]no, not in any way]. 6 [So] if we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents]. 7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts]. 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. 10 If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word and make Him out to be false and a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts].

Pastor Catrice speaks on this week's topic about the heart of the Christian when finding themselves in a Wilderness.
Moses sent out scouts to report back what they found in Canaan, the land which God had given His children. However, some of them brought back an evil report because they were afraid of what they saw and didn't acknowledge the Lord and believe He would give them victory over their enemies.
When we venture into our day, or we find ourselves upon a problem or situation, what do we believe? Do we start professing doubt, repeating the devil's words spoken into our ears? Or, do we profess the Word of God and His promises, that my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus?

For those who love the Lord [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed], what eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for them. This is what 1 Corinthians 2:9 speaks about. The believer in Jesus can rest in peace and joy, but also know they have a hope and a future.
This contrasted with the lack of hope and a future for those who decide to reject Christ, not believe or accept Him, and foolishly and rashly utter things they do not understand (Job 42:3). While being blinded by the devil (2 Corinthians 4:4), they have the ability to receive Christ as Lord but some carry on as they are on the broad path, deceived by their own futile understanding lacking divine Wisdom. Such is the peril of those trusting in their own personal beliefs that contradict the Truth of the Word of our Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth of the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God. If the believer still thinks the way he or she used to think, then they continue to live with fear and anxiety, believing that the situation controls them instead of the situation being controlled by their declarations of God over the situation.

Exodus 34:6 - The Lord! the Lord! a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness and truth.
How important it is for us to not depend on our own understanding of God's nature unless that understanding has come from entering into a relationship with Him. Our carnal mind will always be wrong about God until it is renewed to the Truth about Him! (Romans 12:2). One of the ways is to see God's nature and character in action in His Word. In this program we look at the Father's heart in several situations and how His longsuffering continues with us to this day.

A child comes home to his or her parents, their clothes full of mud as they were playing with friends in the world. The door of the family’s home is wide open, never closed to those seeking rescue. The loving parents, so pleased to see their child made it home, love on their child by giving them a hot bath and a shower. The parents then feed their child a hot meal so he or she becomes nourished and becomes immune to illnesses.
Such is the love of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Christ Jesus. We are full of mud, walking aimlessly in this world, desperately in need of saving by the Rescuer, Jesus Himself. We are burdened by the chains of sin, hurts in our heart, depression, addictions, our body in need of healing.
The Lord is always ready and willing to help us. Instead of waiting for us to come to Him first, he makes Himself available and knocks on the door of our heart to let us know he is there (Revelation 3:20). But it is up to us to open the door of our heart to let Him in so he can help and grow and heal us. Based on the love of Jesus, He would be saying something similar to “Come to Me as you are. I know all things you have done and have been through. Nothing surprises me. This is why I came and gave my life for you, so that you would not die but live an everlasting life if you choose to believe and receive me in your heart. I have paid for you to be made a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). My Father and I love you so much (John 3:16). Just believe in me, I will wash your sins away as far as the east is from the west. (Psalm 103:12) I shall remember your sins no more (Hebrews 8:12), and neither should you remind yourself of them once you confess them to Me. (1 John 1:9.)”
The Lord washes us clean in our consciences (1 John 1:9). He offers us daily manna by way of His Word, His Scriptures. (Matthew 4:4). Again, we decide whether to eat of this Word for our soul desperately needs it. We decide whether or not to spend time with Jesus in a right relationship that He has already paid for us to have with the Father through Him. It is our choice, as with every decision our free will is able to make in our life on earth. The repercussions of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ on these decisions have a positive or negative effect in our daily lives.
'Come As You Are.' It is the invitation from the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father but by Him (Jesus). Therefore, it stands to reason we should focus our hearts on Jesus and the Father, with guidance and leading of His Holy Spirit. It doesn’t matter how much mud you have on you; Jesus wants to clean you off as you decide to allow him into your home. His arms open wide ready to receive you as you decide to receive Him and begin to love Him.
This program briefly discusses life without a relationship with Jesus, and spends much of the rest of the program on what it looks like to spend time focusing our heart on Jesus. Being Still and knowing He is God. Receiving rewards when disciplining ourselves to diligently seek Him without distractions, in a quiet place.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 31:10; Psalm 31:19-20; Psalm 31:23-24; Revelation 3:20; Psalm 16:7-9.

The first in this series on Ephesians 6, we look at the verses leading up to the instructions of the Apostle Paul to put on the Armor of God in order that we are able to stand up against all the strategies and deceits of the devil. The precursor to putting on the Armor of God is how we should treat others.
As children, we should obey our parents in the Lord as His representative, and from that scripture says we will have a long life on the earth.
That, as Fathers we are not to irritate and provoke our children to anger, but to rear them tenderly in the training and discipline and the counsel and admonition of the Lord (we know this is not happening nearly as much as it needs to be in society and across the world.)
As servants we are to be obedient to whoever are our physical masters and with a right motive of heart. Not doing good things because we know they are watching us, but doing them as a service to Christ Himself. Doing good for anyone causes a reward from the Lord.
As physical masters, for them to act on the same principle toward them and give up threatening and using violent and abusive words. That God as our Master is no respecter of persons.
We begin to talk about drawing strength from the Lord and the action words of these scriptures. That His strength is not automatic. We have to actively draw on it. We should be conscious of the importance of building and strengthening the union we have with Christ, or begin one if one doesn't exist already.

We all want to be on the best path in life. The Word of God, Jesus Himself, is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we cannot be on the best path. The devil therefore lures us to more familiar activities and distractions. We get to choose what we should watch, listen to, and who to be around. Our soul is being affected in a positive or negative way, moment by moment every day.
Our old carnal way is what we are used to. It is what we used to enjoy. Things are different now that we are born again but the old man that died can be resurrected if we do not guard our mind from becoming re-conformed to the world (Romans 12:2 warns us against this.) Therefore there is a constant battle for our attention. Both God and Satan want our focus. God, for our own good because He loves us and knows the dangers of you slipping back into Satan's darkness. Satan wants to keep you from becoming transformed by understanding the Truth of the Word of God. Hence, the choice each hour, each minute is yours. What will you feed your soul? The World or The Truth so that you can be transformed into the person God created you to be?

Romans 3:20 (AMPC) states that [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character].
For the born-again believer in Christ, Romans 6:14 shows they are no longer under the Law as slaves, but under grace as subjects of God’s favor and mercy. Still, the believer day by day should be in the process of reading and obeying the Word of God which is renewing their mind, thereby transforming them from being carnal into thinking and acting in accordance with the mind of Christ. While we still work through this transformation, we should not forget the two importance commandments of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-40. Over time we should not have to focus on them because as we are being transformed we will realize we are doing both without thinking.

The Christian has overcome Satan and all demonic powers by the Blood of Jesus and the speaking of God's Testimony of His Son. This is because the testimony being referenced in 1 John 5:9-12 is the Testimony of God. Nevertheless, we should still give our personal testimony to others as well.
This week we talk about what a testimony is, the two types that the believer needs to be ready to give to others, the importance of giving glory to God for all good things that He has done to produce the personal testimony of the individual. However, there is the greater one, the one we need to utter: God's Testimony of His Own Son. Life does not exist outside of Christ. A greater proportion of humanity is headed for destruction in hell on the broad way. The few have given their lives to Christ, and found eternal life in return on the narrow path.

The Lord endeavors to lead His creation away from evil and captivity and into a better place in relationship with Him. Out of the Kingdom of Darkness and into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son, Jesus (Colossians 1:13).
He led His chosen children of Israel in the pillar of cloud and fire day and night. His Spirit led His Only Begotten Son into the wilderness to be tried and tested by the devil for forty days and nights. His Spirit led the men to capture the Word of God for us to absorb and obey down the centuries and to this day. His goodness leads us to repentance.
However we all have a free will to choose. Are we obediently following His cloud by day and fire by night or are we on our own path that seems right to us that is away and distant to God, void of a relationship and salvation?
What about the day to day leading of the Holy Spirit? Are we sensitive to the things of the Spirit? Are we following His cloud and fire?

Focusing on Numbers chapter 20 this week and the incident at the Rock with Moses, Aaron and the Assembly of the Children of Israel. How important it is to be obedient to the Lord's commandments, and be led by His voice within our conscience. The importance of acknowledging the Lord for all good things in our witness to others, especially the lost as well as the saved that are still in the early stages of knowing Him.

Pastor Catrice speaks on this week's topic about the heart of the Christian when finding themselves in a Wilderness.
Moses sent out scouts to report back what they found in Canaan, the land which God had given His children. However, some of them brought back an evil report because they were afraid by what they saw and didn't acknowledge the Lord and believe He would give them victory over their enemies.
When we venture into our day, or we find ourselves upon a problem or situation, what do we believe? Do we start professing doubt, repeating the devil's words spoken into our ears? Or, do we profess the Word of God and His promises, that my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus?

Few enter the narrow gate that leads to life, but many enter through the wider gate and the broader and spacious way that leads to destruction (see Matthew 7:13-14). Those who are lukewarm are about to be spewed out of Christ’s mouth (Revelation 3:16). What does it mean to enter through the narrow gate. It all ties back to whether we are confessing Jesus as Lord. If we are seeking Him with all our heart, wanting to know Him. Are we abiding (which also means dwelling and living) in Christ, thereby bearing good fruit, worthy of admiration (Matthew 7:17). We are in the last hour. Soon the Master of the House will Get Up and Close the Door (Luke 13:25). The bells are ringing. Jesus is coming SOON!

We all want to be on the best path in life. The Word of God, Jesus Himself, is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we cannot be on the best path. The devil therefore lures us to more familiar activities and distractions. We get to choose what we should watch, listen to, and who to be around. Our soul is being affected in a positive or negative way, moment by moment every day.
Our old carnal way is what we are used to. It is what we used to enjoy. Things are different now that we are born again but the old man that died can be resurrected if we do not guard our mind from becoming re-conformed to the world (Romans 12:2 warns us against this.) Therefore there is a constant battle for our attention. Both God and Satan want our focus. God, for our own good because He loves us and knows the dangers of you slipping back into Satan's darkness. Satan wants to keep you from becoming transformed by understanding the Truth of the Word of God. Hence, the choice each hour, each minute is yours. What will you feed your soul? The World or The Truth so that you can be transformed into the person God created you to be?

This program reminds us of the defeat of sickness and disease, as a result of God defeating the devil and his powers of darkness by him being disarmed (Col 2:15). The devil may still have the ability to inflict sickness and disease and other oppressive evil measures against humanity, but he has no authority to do so because of being disarmed by God in Christ, at the Cross (Col 2:15).
Now, the believer, having faith in, and using the name of Jesus, can triumph in Him (Jesus) over evil, by speaking God’s Word over a situation. As a result, the believer, in Christ, using faith, can set a person free from any work of the enemy including sickness and disease.
We also speak about the nature of how the human race multiplies and continues to reproduce fallen human beings due to the lineage back to Adam. That is until a person decides to become born again, giving their life over to Christ, receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Their old spirit is then recreated, their lineage to the fallen human race being severed. At this point, since they are a new creation (2 Cor 5:17), their new lineage now goes back one generation to Christ Himself.

Continuing this week with part 2 of the series on sin and how to break free of the vicious circle. We teach how it is possible to actually experience freedom of sin, now that we as believers have been set free of the powers of darkness by the finished works of Christ at the Cross. As the believer is well aware, giving your life to Christ Jesus does not automatically make you immune to the desire to take action when met with a temptation. However, the Good News is that there IS a way out: The Word of God itself, and the will of the believer to take advantage of it.

According to Romans chapter 8 verse 2 (AMPC), the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed the believer from the law of sin and of death. Jesus has set the believer free from the bondage of sin and the wages of it, being a spiritual death. Do you KNOW this promise of God, or is your conscience condemning you, continually keeping you in a prison of belief that you will never be able to get free of this entrapment?
If you are born again, you are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. According to Colossians 1:13, God the Father has rescued you out of the domain of darkness, and into the kingdom of his beloved son Jesus. So, to continue on in sin, believing you have no ability to overcome it, does not line up with what God did for you at the new birth. Christ Jesus not only opened the door to your prison cell, he demolished the walls and the foundation of the prison! You are free of sin and death, but do you believe it, accept it, and live it?

This week we are focused with the study of Proverbs 15:15 (AMPC), and the power of anxious thoughts that can encourage and reaffirm evil events in our daily lives. The power of thoughts and what you say with your tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and whether you decide to acknowledge God every day, spending time with him, walking with Him, knowing He is with you.... These things dictate how you will go through the situations in your life, and whether you will allow mountains (problems) to stay in front of you and not be cast into the sea. (Mark 11:23-25). It is erroneous to believe that God controls everything. He obviously doesn’t because He does not violate a free will. You decided when you gave your life to Jesus. God knew if and when you would, but He didn’t decide for you. You made that choice. The same goes for every day, and everything you do and believe while you do those things. Are we talking God with us? Are we allowing Him to flow through us? Are we taking every thought captive in obedience to Him?

It is time to go around the mountain once more. We as the Body of Christ must learn to speak to the mountains in the world that need to be removed (Mark 11:23). There are mountains everywhere to be cast into the sea. Mountains of captivity for the souls in Afghanistan. Mountains of sickness and disease in people’s bodies. Mountains of lack. We can use the faith that God has given us a measure of to speak to these and all other forms of mountains that need to be cast into the sea, because they exalt their existence against the very knowledge of God. Let us stop saying “Don’t worry, God is in control.” When will we stop deceiving ourselves, waiting for God to fix everything? If it was His job to begin with it would not look the way it is today. Even before the fall of man God had told man to take dominion and to subdue (bring under control) all the earth (Genesis 1:28). He still expects us to do it today (Matthew 10:1; 7-8), now that Jesus fixed the problem that we caused back in the garden (Gen 3:6). Let us not waste this opportunity to declare God’s will on earth as it is in heaven. Let us bind evil on earth so it shall be bound in heaven. The binding starts with our mouth and belief without doubt. This is a partnership with God (1 Corinthians 3:9). God is waiting on US. It’s not the other way around. Let us be used by Him, but let us allow him through us. Let our Light so shine upon men. Let us cast down those evil governments of this world. Let us believe that with God all things are possible. Let us no longer just sit in Christ in heavenly places and not speak. Let us speak from that position, using our vocal chords and speak forth the Word of God that He has blessed us with. But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit; (Jude 1:20). God’s perfect Will, let it be released upon the earth.

"The Great Jehovah is Merciful.” So said the angels guiding the minister Jesse Duplantis in his trip around Heaven many years ago where he met Jesus Himself. We begin this program exalting the name of our Heavenly Father, the Great Jehovah, bringing Him the reverence and honor He so deserves. We then begin to speak on the important of telling others about Jesus since we are the best representatives on earth to reveal His love and what He did and continues to do for us, sons and daughters. The god of this world, the devil Satan and his group of fallen angels have a mission to keep God’s creation blinded from finding out the Truth. But it’s possible for someone who is blinded to be led by the hand and be spoken to about Jesus. Then if they receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, the scales begin to fall from their eyes and the Truth sets them free.

This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth which is the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God. If the believer still thinks the way he or she used to think, then they continue to live with fear and anxiety, believing that the situation controls them instead of the situation being controlled by their declarations of God over the situation.

No decision of a free-will is ever forced, otherwise the will would not be a ‘free’ will. The most important free-will decision is the one in which we make for Christ, to receive Jesus as our Savior and Lord. God does not force this upon us, nor does he force upon us the Truth, which is the Bible, God’s Own Word.
This week we focus on asking the Lord for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. How this one prayer is important for us to ask before we read the bible or before we are taught by a minister of the Gospel. This, so that God can help us learn, comprehend and totally understand the Truth as we receive it.

Many verses in the Bible are conditional. You only receive the benefits of what God has for you if you commit to an action and remain steadfast in that action. Psalm 91 is a popular chapter for many, but it too is conditional. Plagues can come near your tent (Ps 91:10), and we can be accessible by evil (Ps 91:8) if we do not dwell in the secret place of the Most High (Ps 91:1).
We also speak about wearing a mask due to the coronavirus. Believers should not be wearing one out of fear, but out of obedience to the rules of your city or country (Romans 13:1).
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 91:1-10; Luke 10:19.

In this program we draw the distinction between the popular Psalm Chapter 91, and the position of the believer as a new creation based on the finished works of Christ at the Cross.
While it is perfectly acceptable for a person to take comfort, believe and trust in the Lord by following Psalm 91, it is important to acknowledge and live by the finished works of the Cross. Jesus shed his blood to pay for all sin and for that sin to be forgiven for anyone who confesses it (see 1 John 1:9). The blood of Christ also paid for the new birth, the regenerated spirit of a lost soul, having been translated out from under the powers of darkness and into Christ’s kingdom (see Colossians 1:13). Why all of this? Just to be “certified” to get into heaven one day? No. It’s to do as Jesus did on this earth while we are still here. To bring the earth under control, to subdue it, to cast out sicknesses and all forms of death out of people. This, to demonstrate the Good News, the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Psalm 91 is Trusting in God and doing nothing except that. That compared to the new covenant that the new believer partakes of now since the blood of Jesus was shed. That new covenant was what God made with Jesus. That is, Christ in us, the hope of glory. That is, the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling the new creation, so that believers walk in the power of God, going about doing good, healing all who are oppressed by the devil, for God is with them (see Acts 10:38). You say, ‘Well, that was Jesus. We are not Jesus.’ You are correct, we are not God, but Jesus himself said we are to do the same works and greater than him (see John 14:12). We are not to sit back and hope we’re sheltered by the Almighty (Psalm 91). We are to walk in the dominion Christ restored for us, take charge, arise and shine and be fearless in this world, bringing heaven to earth, setting people free by Christ flowing through and from us.

The second of two programs looking at Luke 16:19-31, regarding the rich man and the destitute Lazarus. On earth Lazarus was at the gate of the rich man, begging for anything that may drop from the man's table. After both died (in the physical sense), the rich man and Lazarus switched positions. The man was taken to Hades (the place of the dead) by angels, while Lazarus was finally absent his afflictions in Abraham's bosom. The selfish man was now experiencing worse than what Lazarus experienced begging at the man's gate. The man saw Lazarus far off across a great chasm between them. That chasm that has been fixed, that separates those who reject salvation and those who are blessed by receiving it by confessing Jesus as their Lord and believing that God raised Him from the dead. (Romans 10:9-10).

A child comes home to his or her parents, their clothes full of mud as they were playing with friends in the world. The door of the family’s home is wide open, never closed to those seeking rescue. The loving parents, so pleased to see their child made it home, love on their child by giving them a hot bath and a shower. The parents then feed their child a hot meal so he or she becomes nourished and becomes immune to illnesses.
Such is the love of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Christ Jesus. We are full of mud, walking aimlessly in this world, desperately in need of saving by the Rescuer, Jesus Himself. We are burdened by the chains of sin, hurts in our heart, depression, addictions, our body in need of healing.
The Lord is always ready and willing to help us. Instead of waiting for us to come to Him first, he makes Himself available and knocks on the door of our heart to let us know he is there (Revelation 3:20). But it is up to us to open the door of our heart to let Him in so he can help and grow and heal us. Based on the love of Jesus, He would be saying something similar to “Come to Me as you are. I know all things you have done and have been through. Nothing surprises me. This is why I came and gave my life for you, so that you would not die but live an everlasting life if you choose to believe and receive me in your heart. I have paid for you to be made a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). My Father and I love you so much (John 3:16). Just believe in me, I will wash your sins away as far as the east is from the west. (Psalm 103:12) I shall remember your sins no more (Hebrews 8:12), and neither should you remind yourself of them once you confess them to Me. (1 John 1:9.)”
The Lord washes us clean in our consciences (1 John 1:9). He offers us daily manna by way of His Word, His Scriptures. (Matthew 4:4). Again, we decide whether to eat of this Word for our soul desperately needs it. We decide whether or not to spend time with Jesus in a right relationship that He has already paid for us to have with the Father through Him. It is our choice, as with every decision our free will is able to make in our life on earth. The repercussions of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ on these decisions have a positive or negative effect in our daily lives.
'Come As You Are.' It is the invitation from the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father but by Him (Jesus). Therefore, it stands to reason we should focus our hearts on Jesus and the Father, with guidance and leading of His Holy Spirit. It doesn’t matter how much mud you have on you; Jesus wants to clean you off as you decide to allow him into your home. His arms open wide ready to receive you as you decide to receive Him and begin to love Him.
This program briefly discusses life without a relationship with Jesus, and spends much of the rest of the program on what it looks like to spend time focusing our heart on Jesus. Being Still and knowing He is God. Receiving rewards when disciplining ourselves to diligently seek Him without distractions, in a quiet place.

Using our God-given Faith and experiencing miracles, instead of trusting in our senses, walking by sight, going around the same mountain yet one more time.
2 Peter 1:1 shows that we have obtained an equal privilege of like precious faith with ourselves in and through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. We have received a measure of faith to use continually, not just in times of need. We used faith while we were yet sinners - to believe in a God we could not see, and the salvation His Son Jesus paid for at the cross, to receive eternal life. Now born-again, we should be walking by faith and not by sight (our senses). After becoming one of God's children, Sons and Daughters of The Most High, we should use that faith to increase our trust in Him, His Word, to develop our relationship with Him, and to then represent Him more effectively on this earth as our actions have the ability, with Faith, to bring Heaven here. To turn situations around for people who do not yet know how to walk in what everyone already has.

You were never meant to carry cares yourself. You can choose to keep your problems or cast them onto Him. Giving them to Jesus.
The Lord is divine. His ways are divine. His solutions are divine and supernatural. So we must accept that He will not solve our issues the way we think He will. This in itself should give us confidence that there is a way that our issues can be solve, but only if we give them to God.

It is the Lord’s desire, His Will, that you would experience what He has already promised you in His Word. That you would experience Him, to come to Know Him, to remain in divine health, to have your soul prospering amongst other promises.
God didn’t give us all an equal measure of faith just so that we could believe in His Son and receive eternal life. He gave us faith to use in everyday life, for ourselves and for others who don’t know how to use the faith in a God, that for now they chose to reject.
We are going to look at how we can be more confident in our faith that God’s Word will come to pass. Not just by being in prayer, memorizing and speaking His Word over situations, but to know His nature and His heart.

God Breathed His Own Word. The Creator authored Himself, His Word, His Living Word, His Son Christ Jesus. God by His Holy Spirit authored the Bible and not man. Man was inspired by God to write what he heard in his heart to write from the Holy Spirit.
It is critical to start to think like God thinks, not like we used to carnally think. He thinks based on His nature, His Word. We discuss how God does not change our minds, but waits for us to make the decision to give our life to Him, and receive His Son as Savior and Lord. Then and only then He renews our spirit so that we become born again (John 3:3). The born-again believer, forever a new creation with the old having been buried with Christ (Romans 6:4).
We also talk about using God’s Word for good purposes including conviction of sin and correction.

The first in this series on Ephesians 6, we look at the verses leading up to the instructions of the Apostle Paul to put on the Armor of God in order that we are able to stand up against all the strategies and deceits of the devil. The precursor to putting on the Armor of God appears to be for us to make sure that as children we obey our parents in the Lord as His representative, and from that we will have a long life on the earth.
That, as Fathers we are not to irritate and provoke our children to anger, but to rear them tenderly in the training and discipline and the counsel and admonition of the Lord. (We know this is not happening nearly as much as it needs to be in society and across the world.)
As servants we are to be obedient to whoever are our physical masters and with a right motive of heart. Not doing good things because we know they are watching us, but doing them as a service to Christ Himself. Doing good for anyone causes a reward from the Lord.
As physical masters, for them to act on the same principle toward them and give up threatening and using violent and abusive words. That God as our Master is no respecter of persons.
We begin to talk about drawing strength from the Lord and the action words of these scriptures. That His strength is not automatic. We have to actively draw on it. We should be concious of the importance of building and strengthening the union we have with Christ, or begin one if one doesn't exist already.

We all want to be on the best path in life. The Word of God, Jesus Himself, is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we cannot be on the best path. The devil therefore lures us to more familiar activities and distractions. We get to choose what we should watch, listen to, and who to be around. Our soul is being affected in a positive or negative way, moment by moment every day.
Our old carnal way is what we are used to. It is what we used to enjoy. Things are different now that we are born again but the old man that died can be resurrected if we do not guard our mind from becoming re-conformed to the world (Romans 12:2 warns us against this.) Therefore there is a constant battle for our attention. Both God and Satan want our focus. God, for our own good because He loves us and knows the dangers of you slipping back into Satan's darkness. Satan wants to keep you from becoming transformed by understanding the Truth of the Word of God. Hence, the choice each hour, each minute is yours. What will you feed your soul? The World or The Truth so that you can be transformed into the person God created you to be?

Romans 3:20 (AMPC) states that [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character].
For the born-again believer in Christ, Romans 6:14 shows they are no longer under the Law as slaves, but under grace as subjects of God’s favor and mercy. Still, the believer day by day should be in the process of reading and obeying the Word of God which is renewing their mind, thereby transforming them from being carnal into thinking and acting in accordance with the mind of Christ. While we still work through this transformation, we should not forget the two importance commandments of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-40. Over time we should not have to focus on them because as we are being transformed we will realize we are doing both without thinking.

The Christian has overcome Satan and all demonic powers by the Blood of Jesus and the speaking of his or her testimony. The testimony being referenced in 1 John 5:9-12 is the Testimony of God, and not only the personal testimony of salvation and deliverance from captivity.
This week we talk about what a testimony is, the two types that the believer needs to be ready to give to others, the importance of giving glory to God for all good things that He has done to produce the personal testimony of the individual. However, there is the greater one, the one we need to utter: God's Testimony of His Own Son. Life does not exist outside of Christ. A greater proportion of humanity is headed for destruction in hell on the broad way. The few have given their lives to Christ, and found eternal life in return on the narrow path.

The Lord endeavors to lead His creation away from evil and captivity and into a better place in relationship with Him. Out of the Kingdom of Darkness and into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son, Jesus (Colossians 1:13).
He led His chosen children of Israel in the pillar of cloud and fire day and night. His Spirit led His Only Begotten Son into the wilderness to be tried and tested by the devil for forty days and nights. His Spirit led the men to capture the Word of God for us to absorb and obey down the centuries and to this day. His goodness leads us to repentance.
However we all have a free will to choose. Are we obediently following His cloud by day and fire by night or are we on our own path that seems right to us that is away and distant to God, void of a relationship and salvation?
What about the day to day leading of the Holy Spirit? Are we sensitive to the things of the Spirit? Are we following His cloud and fire?

Pastor Catrice speaks on this week's topic about the heart of the Christian when finding themselves in a Wilderness.
Moses sent out scouts to report back what they found in Canaan, the land which God had given His children. However, some of them brought back an evil report because they were afraid by what they saw and didn't acknowledge the Lord and believe He would give them victory over their enemies.
When we venture into our day, or we find ourselves upon a problem or situation, what do we believe? Do we start professing doubt, repeating the devil's words spoken into our ears? Or, do we profess the Word of God and His promises, that my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus?

For those who love the Lord [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed], what eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for them. This is what 1 Corinthians 2:9 speaks about. The believer in Jesus can rest in peace and joy, but also know they have a hope and a future.
This contrasted with the lack of hope and a future for those who decide to reject Christ, not believe or accept Him, and foolishly and rashly utter things they do not understand (Job 42:3). While being blinded by the devil (2 Corinthians 4:4), they have the ability to receive Christ as Lord but some carry on as they are on the broad path, deceived by their own futile understanding lacking divine Wisdom. Such is the peril of those trusting in their own personal beliefs that contradict the Truth of the Word of our Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth of the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God. If the believer still thinks the way he or she used to think, then they continue to live with fear and anxiety, believing that the situation controls them instead of the situation being controlled by their declarations of God over the situation.

We continue on this topic of Faith, building a foundation of understanding. Your Faith, your trusting in someone is more effective once you get to know their character and nature. When we come to know the Lord more, and we see His heart for His creation, we can be more effective ministers of the Gospel. That is because our faith, our trust will contain no doubt, unbelief or fear when we are believing for something.

It's a lot easier to trust in someone once you get to know them. Trusting in the Lord allows our Faith to be used more effectively, simply because once you know the Lord's nature and character, you realize there is no reason to doubt what He has promised us. When doubt, unbelief and fear have all been removed, all that is left is pure Faith. That's when the mountains you're speaking to begin to move!

In this program we focus on how our walk with the Lord, or our walk without Him, can dictate where we are led. We follow one of two masters every hour. We cannot serve both at the same time, but that doesn’t mean that our flesh doesn’t try to pull us into alternating between them.
Believers in Christ, they are a new creation, they are one spirit with the Lord. If we are one spirit with Him, we should be fully immersed in His flowing current that is the pulling or leading of His Holy Spirit. But we still have the ability to have one foot in and one foot out of that current depending on what we feed our soul. The believer in Chris is positionally buried with Christ. However, what we feed our flesh with can cause our old man to be resurrected. We need to consume ourselves with things that transform us into who we have now become, that new creation in Christ that the blood of Jesus has paid so preciously for.

In recent weeks we have been understanding some of the promises of God, as well as His nature and character, in order that we may realize how we can easily trust Him because He is faithful and has kind intentions in His heart. We have been talking about God’s grace, our undeserved favor from God, and his mercy, His punishment withheld from us. Today having this trust and faith in God that He is good, that He does not want to harm us but only love us and grow us, we look at the blessing and promise of His Rest.

Jesus prayed to his Father about the two criminals on the cross each side of his as recorded in Luke 23:34 “And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” They were criminals who had done something wrong, but Jesus asked his Father to forgive them anyway, because they “know not what they do.”
Why should we forgive others who hurt or betrayed us? Who are we to determine that we have a right to hold back forgiveness for another? If we do not forgive, God will not forgive us according to Matthew 6:14-15 (AMPC):
14 For if you forgive people their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.
What caused them to have a bad nature to want to do things to us? Today we talk about the ‘default’ nature of those that have yet to allow and show the love of Christ in their hearts. If we know why they did what they did, it can be easier for us to forgive them.

Few enter the narrow gate that leads to life, but many enter through the wider gate and the broader and spacious way that leads to destruction (see Matthew 7:13-14). Those who are lukewarm are about to be spewed out of Christ’s mouth (Revelation 3:16). What does it mean to enter through the narrow gate. It all ties back to whether we are confessing Jesus as Lord. If we are seeking Him with all our heart, wanting to know Him. Are we abiding (which also means dwelling and living) in Christ, thereby bearing good fruit, worthy of admiration (Matthew 7:17).

For the believer is now truly born-again, dead to its old self. All things now being new. (2 Cor 5:17). The believer is now blessed from on high with a new spirit, in which God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit indwell. That new spirit, which is us, being set free from generational curses if any existed before the old baptism unto death with Jesus. (Romans 6:4). Now all that’s left to do is believe. Believing by being transformed... by renewing the mind... which means reading what God says about us and everything, and.... believing.

Many place their need for comfort by resting on the unscriptural phrase 'God is in Control'. However, this directly opposes the principle of man's free-will that God never violates. Let us know the Truth and no longer pass on these lies to others in our sheer ignorance.
Similarly God does not take people 'early' contrary to those who speak this mistruth while at the same time not knowing God's heart. God does not 'take away' (Job didn't know God well enough when he mis-spoke in Job 1:21). God is the giver of life, while Satan and the fallen world he caused is the giver of all things opposing life, including sin, sickness and death.

I suggest to you that we do not really appreciate the depth of the tragic event that unfolded at the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as recorded in Genesis chapter 3 verse 6. Many of us grow up believing as long as we are good enough, we'll make it into heaven one day. What a lie that I myself believed to be the case. I was never taught properly and so many others remain deluded into thinking they will make it when the spiritual sirens are wailing in Heaven and on the Earth for the lost to know the truth before time runs out and the Master closes the door shut. (see Luke 13:25). In this program we look at how humanity fell and the catastrophic decision Adam and Eve took. That decision to obey Satan instead of God caused all of us to inherit a sinful nature going all the way back to the two individuals from that day in the Garden. All are going to hell, except for those who receive Jesus as Lord.
Remember, Hell is not an 'option'. It's the DEFAULT setting in our GPSs. Heaven through Christ IS 'THE' option. It is ONLY an option because of the Father's love for you! (John 3:16). So you MUST choose Jesus today. Make Him your Lord! Seek Him with ALL your heart, turn away from sin, repent, ask the Lord to come into your heart. Tomorrow is not promised! As Jesus is recorded as saying:
Luke 13:24 (AMPC): 24 Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

5 And this is the message [the message of [a]promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [[b]no, not in any way]. 6 [So] if we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents]. 7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts]. 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. 10 If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word and make Him out to be false and a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts].
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 1:17-20; John 17:3; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-4.

It is the Lord’s desire, His Will, that you would experience what He has already promised you in His Word. That you would experience Him, to come to Know Him, to remain in divine health, to have your soul prospering amongst other promises.
God didn’t give us all an equal measure of faith just so that we could believe in His Son and receive eternal life. He gave us faith to use in everyday life, for ourselves and for others who don’t know how to use the faith in a God, that for now they chose to reject.
We are going to look at how we can be more confident in our faith that God’s Word will come to pass. Not just by being in prayer, memorizing and speaking His Word over situations, but to know His nature and His heart.

We all want to be on the best path in life. The Word of God, Jesus Himself, is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we cannot be on the best path. The devil therefore lures us to more familiar activities and distractions. We get to choose what we should watch, listen to, and who to be around. Our soul is being affected in a positive or negative way, moment by moment every day.
Our old carnal way is what we are used to. It is what we used to enjoy. Things are different now that we are born again but the old man that died can be resurrected if we do not guard our mind from becoming re-conformed to the world (Romans 12:2 warns us against this.) Therefore there is a constant battle for our attention. Both God and Satan want our focus. God, for our own good because He loves us and knows the dangers of you slipping back into Satan's darkness. Satan wants to keep you from becoming transformed by understanding the Truth of the Word of God. Hence, the choice each hour, each minute is yours. What will you feed your soul? The World or The Truth so that you can be transformed into the person God created you to be?

This program reminds us of the defeat of sickness and disease, as a result of God defeating the devil and his powers of darkness by him being disarmed (Col 2:15). The devil may still have the ability to inflict sickness and disease and other oppressive evil measures against humanity, but he has no authority to do so because of being disarmed by God in Christ, at the Cross (Col 2:15).
Now, the believer, having faith in, and using the name of Jesus, can triumph in Him (Jesus) over evil, by speaking God’s Word over a situation. As a result, the believer, in Christ, using faith, can set a person free from any work of the enemy including sickness and disease.
We also speak about the nature of how the human race multiplies and continues to reproduce fallen human beings due to the lineage back to Adam. That is until a person decides to become born again, giving their life over to Christ, receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Their old spirit is then recreated, their lineage to the fallen human race being severed. At this point, since they are a new creation (2 Cor 5:17), their new lineage now goes back one generation to Christ Himself.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Colossians 2:15; Genesis 3:6; Hebrews 1:3; Acts 10:38; Romans 5:12; Matthew 25:41; John 10:10.

This week we study Proverbs 15:15 (AMPC), and the power of anxious thoughts that can encourage and reaffirm evil events in our daily lives. The power of thoughts and what you say with your tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and whether you decide to acknowledge God every day, spending time with him, walking with Him, knowing He is with you.... These things dictate how you will go through the situations in your life, and whether you will allow mountains (problems) to stay in front of you and not be cast into the sea. (Mark 11:23-25). It is erroneous to believe that God controls everything. He obviously doesn’t because He does not violate a free will. You decided when you gave your life to Jesus. God knew if and when you would, but He didn’t decide for you. You made that choice. The same goes for every day, and everything you do and believe while you do those things. Are we talking God with us? Are we allowing Him to flow through us? Are we taking every thought captive in obedience to Him?

This program is best described by simply quoting the scriptures discussed in Ephesians 1 verses 17 to 21: 17 [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, 18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), 19 And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, 20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], 21 Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.

We speak this week about the Scriptures being God-Breathed, according to 2 Timothy 3:16. That God wrote the Bible, and not man, albeit man had the role of recording and writing these Scriptures down to form the Bible. Man being led and inspired by the Holy Spirit what to write down.
How it is critical to think like God thinks, not like we used to carnally think. How God does not change our minds, but waits for us to make the decision to give our life to Him, and receive His Son as Savior and Lord, before renewing our spirit so that we become born again, forever a new creation with the old having been buried with Christ (Romans 6:4). We also talk about using God’s Word for good purposes including conviction of sin and correction.

For those who love the Lord [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed], what eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for them. This is what 1 Corinthians 2:9 speaks about. The believer in Jesus can rest in peace and joy, but also know they have a hope and a future.
This contrasted with the lack of hope and a future for those who decide to reject Christ, not believe or accept Him, and foolishly and rashly utter things they do not understand (Job 42:3). While being blinded by the devil (2 Corinthians 4:4), they have the ability to receive Christ as Lord but some carry on as they are on the broad path, deceived by their own futile understanding lacking divine Wisdom. Such is the peril of those trusting in their own personal beliefs that contradict the Truth of the Word of our Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Today we look at how to be at peace in Christ by not being anxious for anything. Knowing your Heavenly Father is key in order to be able to trust in Him in every circumstance, in everything in your day. Know that He is for you and not against you. Be set free from all worry and anxiety so that you can be secure in the love and peace of God in Christ.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Phil 4:6-7; Prov 3:5-6.
The common phrase - “In Christ”, mentioned often by many. This being the place and position of the redeemed, restored, reconciled born-again believer in Christ Jesus. But, how do we know if we are the ingrafted, a requirement for being ‘In Christ’, that 2 Corinthians 5:17 speaks of?
In this program we speak on Genesis 22 and Romans 11 where the Word of God explains how the Gentiles were ingrafted into the Seed (Heir) that is Christ, due to the unbelief of the Jews. (God’s Grace nevertheless continues to allow His chosen people (Jews) the ability to believe and receive Christ Jesus as their Savior and Lord.)
This then helps us understand how we came to be In Christ, being a true believer in the Lord.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 1:17-18; Genesis 22:16-18; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 11:1-24.
This week we speak mainly on two verses of Job 22 (Amplified Classic Edition – AMPC) where Eliphaz is answering Job with what he needs to do in response to his discontent. How much should we learn from the basic instructions of Eliphaz here, to acquaint ourselves with the Lord, to agree with Him and show ourselves to be conformed to His Will. Eliphaz continues to explain that by doing so we shall prosper and great good shall come to you.
All of this was available to Job, an unsaved soul on the face of the earth, the Messiah not yet having come to pay the price for his sins and offer eternal life. Yet how much more, then, are you and I able to do due to being a born again and redeemed soul. With the living God indwelling us, with us positionally in heavenly places in Christ, we are overcomers, more than conquerors, and able to do ALL things through Him who strengthens us!

The second of two programs looking at Luke 16:19-31, regarding the rich man and the destitute Lazarus. On earth Lazarus was at the gate of the rich man, begging for anything that may drop from the man's table. After both died (in the physical sense), the rich man and Lazarus switched positions. The man was taken to Hades (the place of the dead) by angels, while Lazarus was finally absent his afflictions in Abraham's bosom. The selfish man was now experiencing worse than what Lazarus experienced begging at the man's gate. The man saw Lazarus far off across a great chasm between them. That chasm that has been fixed, that separates those who reject salvation and those who are blessed by receiving it by confessing Jesus as their Lord and believing that God raised Him from the dead. (Romans 10:9-10).

Do you find yourself comparing yourself to a person spoken of the Old Covenant/Testament, or are you fully aware of your identity in Christ that He bought with His blood of the New Covenant? While there are still important principles for us to learn from in the Old Testament, profound blessings such as the ability for a soul to decide to receive Christ Jesus within their own temple, by way of the new birth, must be understood. All comprehension of the Word of God must therefore be seen through the lens of the Cross.
Hebrews 8:13 (AMPC) shows us of the importance of focusing on God's replacement of the Old with the New: 13 When God speaks of a new [covenant or agreement], He makes the first one obsolete (out of use). And what is obsolete (out of use and annulled because of age) is ripe for disappearance and to be dispensed with altogether.

The Wind, Breath and Spirit of God are available to us, but we get to choose to receive or reject them, the good things of God. The Breath of Life is available to us, if we inhale the Word of God. If we lean to God’s understanding and not our own the Lord is able to breath His Life into our mind by His Word, for it to be renewed and refreshed, removed of all misunderstandings.

Continuing this week with part 2 of the series on sin and how to break free of the vicious circle. We teach how it is possible to actually experience freedom of sin, now that we as believers have been set free of the powers of darkness by the finished works of Christ at the Cross. As the believer is well aware, giving your life to Christ Jesus does not automatically make you immune to the desire to take action when met with a temptation. However, the Good News is that there IS a way out: The Word of God itself, and the will of the believer to take advantage of it.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Romans 8:1-2; Hebrews 12:1; Psalm 119:9-11; Galatians 5:24-25.
According to Romans chapter 8 verse 2 (AMPC), the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed the believer from the law of sin and of death. Jesus has set the believer free from the bondage of sin and the wages of it, being a spiritual death. Do you KNOW this promise of God, or is your conscience condemning you, continually keeping you in a prison of belief that you will never be able to get free of this entrapment?
If you are born again, you are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. According to Colossians 1:13, God the Father has rescued you out of the domain of darkness, and into the kingdom of his beloved son Jesus. So, to continue on in sin, believing you have no ability to overcome it, does not line up with what God did for you at the new birth. Christ Jesus not only opened the door to your prison cell, he demolished the walls and the foundation of the prison! You are free of sin and death, but do you believe it, accept it, and live it?
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): James 1:13-15; Romans 6:4-7; Romans 16:14-18; 1 John 1:9; Romans 8:1-2.
We are not helpless. We do not have to succumb to fear or anxiety about anything in our lives, or anything in the world. The Word of God assures us of what has to happen in these end times, but Jesus also re-assures us, His sheep, for us not to be frightened or troubled.

If I have pure faith, with no unbelief, doubt or fear, but yet I lack love, I am a useless nobody. So writes the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:2.
We summarize all that we have learned from our mini-series on faith, and crown faith with the importance of having love. Love after all leads us to desire to pray for ourselves and for others, in faith, towards whatever the situation demands.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Isaiah 53:1; Luke 10:8-9; Mark 11:24; Matthew 21:22; 1 Corinthians 13:2; 1 Corinthians 13:13; 1 John 5:4; Ephesians 6:16; Galatians 2:16; Galatians 2:20; Hebrews 12:2.
Jesus speaks of us hearing of wars and rumors of wars, a nation rising against another nation, a kingdom against another kingdom (Matthew 24:6-7). However, we the church are to stand strong in our faith, not be frightened or troubled. For if we fear, how can we be in faith because our fear represents a lack of trust in the Lord that He will protect us. Part one of the program includes focus on the current situation with Ukraine and Russia, how to speak against the evil that is influencing leaders to fulfill their lust of power at the expense of human suffering.
Part two continues the focus on our faith and using it for good works so that our faith is not dead.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Matthew 24:6-8; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Colossians 2:15; Luke 10:19; Proverbs 18:21; James 2:14; James 2:17-26; Hebrews 4:12; John 15.
God the Father rescues a soul from the powers of darkness when that soul uses its God-given Faith to confess and receive Jesus as Lord, believing God raised Him from the dead. Our faith played a central role in our believing in the person of Christ Jesus by faith, since those of us listening were not around to witness Him at the Cross and walking the earth over 2000 years ago.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Colossians 1:13-14; Romans 10;9-10; Hebrews 11:1; Galatians 3:26-28; Ephesians 1:3; Ephesians 2:4-5.
James 2:14 What is the use (profit), my brethren, for anyone to profess to have faith if he has no [good] works [to show for it]? Can [such] faith save [his soul]?
What is the point of God giving us faith if we never use it for good works that He has predestined for us to walk in (Ephesians 2:10)? God only gives us what we need, so let us use what He has given us, for His glory, to be set free, and stay free!
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): James 2:14-16; Hebrews 11:1; Psalm 37:4; 2 Peter 1:1; Ephesians 2:8.
It is easier to believe than we think. It is easier to use the equal measure of faith God has given to each of us. If we base our understanding of how effective our faith is based on whether we see something quickly, this can be a problem and introduce doubt. This will immediately cancel the faith, the existence of the substance of things hoped for, that was being established right up to the moment you agreed with the doubtful thought.
Rooting out doubt, unbelief and fear means the result of our faith in something coming to pass will be assured if it is in line with God's Will. This is important if we are to be effective in the use of God's power when ministering to those who need healing, deliverance, salvation etc.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): James 2:17; 2 Corinthians 10:5; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Psalm 91:1; James 1:1-5; Genesis 3:1; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Romans 12:2; James 1:22; 2 Chronicles 16:9; James 2:14-26.
Pure Faith without a doubt, is what causes our mountains to move when we speak to them. 2 Corinthians 13:5 begins by saying 'Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it'. We should examine ourselves often to ensure we are holding to our faith, using it wisely. If we have doubts creeping in, refocus on the Lord, His Word, His Finished Works at the Cross. His nature, character, His love for his creation, including those who still do not know Him.
We are to freely give what we have already freely received. Let us be obedient to Jesus' commandments so that He can truly say that He loves us. In order to keep His commandments it includes the use of faith, the equal measure of it that God has given to everyone. Let us use this faith with confidence, by knowing Him, what He has done for us. Remembering that He is no respecter of persons. So what He has done for you, He will do for everyone around you and afar across the globe. The question is, will they want to come to know Him? We keep on pushing the plough regardless and offer them Jesus, speaking of our testimony which no one can deny of you. Be confident by speaking God's Word over situations, people's health, salvation, ridding yourselves and others of poverty and lack because of the Spirit Authority God has given you. Freely give by faith with the confidence of what we have been sharing for the past several weeks.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Mark 11:23-24; Romans 8:1-2; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Matthew 10:7-8; Isaiah 61; Luke 4:16-20; Hebrews 11:1; Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews 4:12; James 1:5-8; John 15; Matthew 24:35; Mark 5:36; 2 Corinthians 13:5.
Continuing the topic of faith, we speak on trusting by faith with what we do not see for it to become visible, instead of making conclusions and accepting things based on what we see, smell, taste, hear etc.
However, we believe the Holy Spirit led us to speak on an unrelated topic first. Proverbs 3:7-8 explains how our body receives health when we turn entirely away from evil, and, instead, reverently worship and fear the Lord. It is obvious then that the opposite occurs when we remain in sin and take part in evil activities. Our body suffers, becomes sick, and is in dis-ease. Some are resigned to return to doctors in a vicious cycle, receiving medicine while remaining in sin, when Christ paid for a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). This is a person who is running on empty, not connected as a branch into the vine that is Christ Jesus.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Proverbs 3:7-8; John 6:35; John 1:5; Proverbs 3:5-6; Romans 1:17; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Hebrews 11:1-5, 7-8; Isaiah 53:5; Hebrews 4:12; Mark 5:36.
In the past couple of weeks, we have been talking about our faith being more effectual when speaking God's Word over situations, by knowing more about his nature and character. We can do this by not only pondering and meditating on scriptures in the bible, but also by spending time with the Lord in the secret place.
In this week's program we begin to look at removing doubt, unbelief and fear out of our faith prayers and projects. For example, if we do not read a verse in conjunction with verses before and after it, we may not get the whole truth, that the blessing that's promised might be conditional on something we have to do. Not knowing this can cause us not to be effective in our faith. For example, what the scripture promised for provision is not showing up in our lives. Perhaps it's because we are not sowing our seed for it to multiply. Perhaps it's because we are not seeking Him first (Matthew 6:33).
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 1:17-19; 3 John 1:2; Matthew 13:19; Psalm 1:1-2; Matthew 17:20; Mark 9:23-24; James 1:5-8; Romans 10:10; Philippians 4:19; Psalm 23:1; James 1:7; Proverbs 3:5; Romans 12:2; Philippians 4:15-18; Genesis 8:22; Luke 6:38; Matthew 6:33.
We continue on this topic of Faith, building a foundation of understanding. Your Faith, your trusting in someone is more effective once you get to know their character and nature. When we come to know the Lord more, and we see His heart for His creation, we can be more effective ministers of the Gospel. That is because our faith, our trust will contain no doubt, unbelief or fear when we are believing for something.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Isaiah 55:11; Psalm 119:89; 1 Corinthians 3:9; 1 Peter 2:24; Mark 11:23-24; Matthew 17:19-20; Mark 9:23-24; James 1:5-8.
It's a lot easier to trust in someone once you get to know them. Trusting in the Lord allows our Faith to be used more effectively, simply because once you know the Lord's nature and character, you realize there is no reason to doubt what He has promised us. When doubt, unbelief and fear have all been removed, all that is left is pure Faith. That's when the mountains you're speaking to begin to move!
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:3; James 1:17; Hebrews 11:6; Matthew 6:33; Revelations 3:20; John 17:3; 1 John 2:3; Mark 12:28-31.
2 Peter 1:1 shows that we have obtained an equal privilege of like precious faith with ourselves in and through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. We have received a measure of faith to use continually, not just in times of need. We used faith while we were yet sinners - to believe in a God we could not see, and the salvation His Son Jesus paid for at the cross, to receive eternal life. Now born-again, we should be walking by faith and not by sight (our senses). In this episode however we begin by setting some of the foundation for future weeks on the subject. That is, after becoming one of God's children, sons and daughters, we should use that faith to increase our trust in Him, His Word, to develop our relationship with Him, and to then represent Him more effectively on this earth as our actions have the ability, with Faith, to bring Heaven here. To turn situations around for people who do not yet know how to walk in what everyone already has.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Hebrews 11:1; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 12:3; 2 Peter 1:1; 1 Corinthians 3:9; Hebrews 11:6.
The undeserved favor, the mercy and favor of God has caused fallen man who received Jesus as Savior and Lord, to be reconciled, rescued by God the Father. The Father Himself rescues every soul that invites Jesus into their hearts, out from under the powers of darkness and into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son. From the moment of receiving Jesus as your Lord, you became a new creation, a new creature altogether (2 Corinthians 5:17 AMPC).
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Corinthians 5:14-19; Hebrews 4:12, Romans 12:2.
How close is your relationship with God the Father? Is anything preventing you from enjoying the relationship He paid so preciously for, even though none of us deserved being offered rescue from an eternal spiritual death? Are you able to be close in relationship with Him, or are you wary based on experiences with your earthly father? We explore the Word of God that talks about His love for us, what He has paid and done for us to be offered complete redemption, sanctification and restoration. That veil being torn so we can once again enjoy a right relationship with Him through Christ Jesus.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 3:1-8; Genesis 3:6; James 4:8-10; Psalm 115:16; Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:4; John 8:44; Hosea 4:6.
Colossians 1:13 says that The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.
Ephesians 1:4 tells us that God chose us first before we chose Him. We made the choice out of our free will to accept and receive Jesus as our Savior and Lord. We also talk about how faith played a central role in our believing in a the person of Christ Jesus by faith, since we were not around to witness Him at the Cross, nor walking the earth over 2000 years ago.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Colossians 1:13-14; Romans 10;9-10; Hebrews 11:1; Galatians 3:26-28; Ephesians 1:3; Ephesians 2:4-5.
The Lord loves you, whether you love him or reject him. He doesn't favor one person over another since scripture says he's no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). There are ramifications in our daily lives, and ultimately our destiny, however, depending on whether we receive and confess Jesus as our Lord or keep on rejecting Him.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Acts 10:34; John 8:32; Prov 15:5; Acts 4:11-12; Deut 30:9-20; Matt 25:31-46; John 12:25; Rev 3:20; 2 Cor 7:10; Eph 2:8; 2 Cor 5:17; Rom 8:1-2.
We continue this week with how God breathed His Own Word, that He wrote the Bible and not man, with man being inspired by God to write what he heard in his heart to write. How it is critical to think like God thinks, not like we used to carnally think. How God does not change our minds, but waits for us to make the decision to give our life to Him, and receive His Son as Savior and Lord, before renewing our spirit so that we become born again, forever a new creation with the old having been buried with Christ (Romans 6:4). We also talk about using God’s Word for good purposes including conviction of sin and correction.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Corinthians 2:16.
This week we are continuing on with the study of Proverbs 15:15 (AMPC), and the power of anxious thoughts that can encourage and reaffirm evil events in our daily lives. The power of thoughts and what you say with your tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and whether you decide to acknowledge God every day, spending time with him, walking with Him, knowing He is with you.... These things dictate how you will go through the situations in your life, and whether you will allow mountains (problems) to stay in front of you and not be cast into the sea. (Mark 11:23-25). It is erroneous to believe that God controls everything. He obviously doesn’t because He does not violate a free will. You decided when you gave your life to Jesus. God knew if and when you would, but He didn’t decide for you. You made that choice. The same goes for every day, and everything you do and believe while you do those things. Are we talking God with us? Are we allowing Him to flow through us? Are we taking every thought captive in obedience to Him?
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Proverbs 15:15, Isaiah 55:8, Proverbs 3:5-6
This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth which is the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God. If the believer still thinks the way he or she used to think, then they continue to live with fear and anxiety, believing that the situation controls them instead of the situation being controlled by their declarations of God over the situation.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version: John 8:32, John 8:36, John 8:44, Romans 8:2, Proverbs 14:12, Proverbs 15:15, Isaiah 55:8-9, Proverbs 3:5-6, Proverbs 12:5, 1 Corinthians 2:16.
This program reminds us of the defeat of sickness and disease, as a result of God defeating the devil and his powers of darkness by him being disarmed (Col 2:15). The devil may still have the ability to inflict sickness and disease and other oppressive evil measures against humanity, but he has no authority to do so because of being disarmed by God in Christ, at the Cross (Col 2:15).
Now, the believer, having faith in, and using the name of Jesus, can triumph in Him over evil, by speaking God’s Word over a situation. As a result, the believer can set a person free from any work of the enemy including sickness and disease.
We also speak about the nature of how the human race multiplies and continues to reproduce fallen human beings due to the lineage back to Adam. That is until a person decides to become born again, giving their life over to Christ, receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Their old spirit is then recreated, their lineage to the fallen human race being severed. At this point, since they are a new creation (2 Cor 5:17), their new lineage now goes back one generation to Christ Himself.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified version: Colossians 2:15, Genesis 3:6, Hebrews 1:3, Acts 10:38, Romans 5:12, Matthew 25:41, John 10:10.
During these challenging times of sickness and disease in the world, or whatever troubles you are facing, we need to make the decision to not live in fear or worry, but to listen to God instead of moving away from him for one more day. God is always speaking to us, but are we holding a conversation with him? There is no relationship without communication. God has paid an extremely high price to allow us to be reconciled back to Him by believing in His Son Jesus and confessing him as Lord.
Jesus wants us to cast our cares upon him, no matter what the cares are. In this program we discuss the ways God speaks to us, through His Word, through His Son, and in our daily circumstances. We have a free will to decide if we will read the bible, the Truth of the Word of God. We get to decide if we will spend time with Jesus, talking to him, but also being still and knowing that He is God. The believer is supposed to live free of anxiety (Matthew 6:25). We are to be the light in this world of sickness and disease, command all forms of sickness and viruses to be gone from people’s bodies. Laying hands on the sick so that they shall recover (Mark 16:17-18). Viruses should be fleeing from us when we submit to God! (James 4:7), since all forms of sickness and disease are the oppression of the devil (Acts 10:38).
2 Cor 2:14 But thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ and reveals the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place.
Brothers and Sisters, Army of God... we can do ALL THINGS through Christ, who strengthens us! (Phil 4:13).
In this week's program on your Identity in Christ, we teach on Galatians chapter 5, verse 1 (ESV):
-- For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
How precious was, and is the blood of Christ, the perfect sacrifice for us, the undeserving human race. The finished works of our Lord include our release from being slaves to sin, sickness and disease and all works of the enemy (devil). How important is it now, then, to realize this Truth, and to believe and act free, and not to continue to be enslaved to the ways of our old father, the devil Satan.
For the believer is now truly born-again, dead to its old self. All things now being new. (2 Cor 5:17). The believer is now blessed from on high with a new spirit, in which God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit indwell. That new spirit which is us, being set free from generational curses if any existed before the old baptism unto death with Jesus. (Romans 6:4). Now all that’s left to do is believe. Believing by being transformed... by renewing the mind... which means reading what God says about us and everything, and.... believing.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the English Standard Version (ESV): Galatians 5:1; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 6:4.
In this program we draw the distinction between the popular Psalm Chapter 91, and the position of the believer as a new creation based on the finished works of Christ at the Cross.
While it is perfectly acceptable for a person to take comfort, believe and trust in the Lord by following Psalm 91, it is important to acknowledge and live by the finished works of the Cross. Jesus shed his blood to pay for all sin and for that sin to be forgiven for anyone who confesses it (see 1 John 1:9). The blood of Christ also paid for the new birth, the regenerated spirit of a lost soul, having been translated out from under the powers of darkness and into Christ’s kingdom (see Colossians 1:13). Why all of this? Just to be “certified” to get into heaven one day? No. It’s to do as Jesus did on this earth while we are still here. To bring the earth under control, to subdue it, to cast out sicknesses and all forms of death out of people. This, to demonstrate the Good News, the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Psalm 91 is Trusting in God and doing nothing except that. That compared to the new covenant that the new believer partakes of now since the blood of Jesus was shed. That new covenant was what God made with Jesus. That is, Christ in us, the hope of glory. That is, the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling the new creation, so that believers walk in the power of God, going about doing good, healing all who are oppressed by the devil, for God is with them (see Acts 10:38). You say, ‘Well, that was Jesus. We are not Jesus.’ You are correct, we are not God, but Jesus himself said we are to do the same works and greater than him (see John 14:12). We are not to sit back and hope we’re sheltered by the Almighty (Psalm 91). We are to walk in the dominion Christ restored for us, take charge, arise and shine and be fearless in this world, bringing heaven to earth, setting people free by Christ flowing through and from us.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 91:1-16; Hebrews 1:1-2; Matthew 26:26-28.
But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name (John 1:12 AMPC). Our hearts do not become sick because our hope is not deferred when our hope is in our faithful Heavenly Father, and Christ Jesus who intercedes for us together with the Holy Spirit.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Proverbs 18:21; John 1:12; Romans 6:4; Galatians 3:29; Proverbs 13:12; Romans 8:27-28.
Simply put, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue [Jairus], Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.
We cover several small topics this week, including being free of sin and shame. That is, as long as we are walking according to the dictates of the Spirit and not our flesh.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Romans 8:1-2; Mark 5:35-36; Romans 6:3-4; John 1:12.
If we could just comprehend the Lord’s immeasurable, mighty power within us, available for not only our own mortal bodies for healing sickness and disease (Romans 8:11) but also for those who need to be set free around you. Ephesians chapter 3 verse 16 (AMPC) reveals God’s mighty power for the inner man out of the rich treasury of His glory.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 3:16-21; Romans 8:11.
There is no doubt to the accuracy and Truth of all verses of the Word of God, including Ephesians chapter 1, verse 19. This scripture speaks of the exceeding greatness of the Lord’s power to us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power. His mighty power does not lack, but it is another thing altogether as to whether his power is able to work in us according to what our soul believes and accepts as the Truth in our own lives.
Our soul sits between our spirit (one spirit with the Lord), AND, the person in front of us, even our own mortal body that needs to be healed. No wonder the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans chapter 12 verse 2 that we must be transformed by the renewing of our mind. How else can we know God’s will, let alone demonstrate it using His mighty power as a sign to the yet-to-be-believing Creation on this earth.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC) unless noted otherwise: Ephesians 1:19 (KJV); Romans 8:1; Romans 8:11; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 1:17-21.
In this program we focus on how our walk with the Lord, or our walk without Him, can dictate where we are led. We follow one of two masters every hour. We cannot serve both at the same time, but that doesn’t mean that our flesh doesn’t try to pull us into alternating between them.
Believers in Christ, they are a new creation, they are one spirit with the Lord. If we are one spirit with Him, we should be fully immersed in His flowing current that is the pulling or leading of His Holy Spirit. But we still have the ability to have one foot in and one foot out of that current depending on what we feed our soul. The believer in Chris is positionally buried with Christ. However, what we feed our flesh with can cause our old man to be resurrected. We need to consume ourselves with things that transform us into who we have now become, that new creation in Christ that the blood of Jesus has paid so preciously for.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Corinthians 4:4; John 8:44; 1 Peter 2:1; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 John 1:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Corinthians 5:21; John 14:26; John 14:23; 1 Corinthians 6:17; Galatians 5:24-26; Jude 1:20; Romans 12:2.
It is time to go around the mountain once more. We as the Body of Christ must learn to speak to the mountains in the world that need to be removed (Mark 11:23). There are mountains everywhere to be cast into the sea. Mountains of captivity for the souls in Afghanistan. Mountains of sickness and disease in people’s bodies. Mountains of lack. We can use the faith that God has given us a measure of to speak to these and all other forms of mountains that need to be cast into the sea, because they exalt their existence against the very knowledge of God. Let us stop saying “Don’t worry, God is in control.” When will we stop deceiving ourselves, waiting for God to fix everything? If it was His job to begin with it would not look the way it is today. Even before the fall of man God had told man to take dominion and to subdue (bring under control) all the earth (Genesis 1:28). He still expects us to do it today (Matthew 10:1; 7-8), now that Jesus fixed the problem that we caused back in the garden (Gen 3:6). Let us not waste this opportunity to declare God’s will on earth as it is in heaven. Let us bind evil on earth so it shall be bound in heaven. The binding starts with our mouth and belief without doubt. This is a partnership with God (1 Corinthians 3:9). God is waiting on US. It’s not the other way around. Let us be used by Him, but let us allow him through us. Let our Light so shine upon men. Let us cast down those evil governments of this world. Let us believe that with God all things are possible. Let us no longer just sit in Christ in heavenly places and not speak. Let us speak from that position, using our vocal chords and speak forth the Word of God that He has blessed us with. But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit; (Jude 1:20). God’s perfect Will, let it be released upon the earth.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Mark 11:23; Isaiah 61:1; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Romans 4:17; Genesis 3:6; Romans 10:9; Genesis 1:26; Genesis 1:28; Colossians 2:12; Zechariah 4:6; Romans 12:3; Mark 11:20-24; 1 Corinthians 3:9; Matthew 10:1; Matthew 28:18-20; Revelations 19:11; Galatians 4:6.
This week we pray for the precious souls of Afghanistan, including the Christians there, as well as the present rulers who themselves have been blinded by the devil (see 2 Corinthians 4:4.) If we as the Body of Christ do not pray for them to come to the knowledge of the Truth, who will (see 1 Timothy 2:1-2)?
We focus on the protection of the Lord for those who have a reverential fear of Him, and who dwell in His secret place (Psalm 91). We end by teaching on the dominion and authority Jesus told us to use. We have a responsibility to subdue (bring under control) the earth according to Genesis 1:26 and 28). We should use it over our own homes, streets, neighborhoods and cities so that evil is kept at bay. If we are waiting on God to do it for us we need to open our eyes to how that misunderstanding has allowed the world to become the way it has today.
Christian prayer over a territory is a challenge for Satanists. Research for yourselves the testimony from John Ramirez (a former Satanist, now a born-again Christian) who stated he was unable to place demonic curses over neighborhoods that Christians had already been praying over.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 34:7; 2 Corinthians 4:4; James 5:16; John 8:39-44; Deuteronomy 31:6 and 8; Galatians 6:9; Psalm 91:1-2; Romans 8:31-39; 1 Timothy 1:1-2.
"The Great Jehovah is Merciful.” So said the angels guiding the minister Jesse Duplantis in his trip around Heaven many years ago where he met Jesus Himself. We begin this program exalting the name of our Heavenly Father, the Great Jehovah, bringing Him the reverence and honor He so deserves. We then begin to speak on the important of telling others about Jesus since we are the best representatives on earth to reveal His love and what He did and continues to do for us, sons and daughters. The god of this world, the devil Satan and his group of fallen angels have a mission to keep God’s creation blinded from finding out the Truth. But it’s possible for someone who is blinded to be led by the hand and be spoken to about Jesus. Then if they receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, the scales begin to fall from their eyes and the Truth sets them free.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 16:13; Romans 8:16-18; Mark 15:15-16; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Romans 3:3-4; 2 Corinthians 10:5; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
Christ expects that His new creation (that’s those who believe in Him and confess Jesus as Lord), shall bear an abundance of fruit. Romans 8:14 says that ‘For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.’
Where do we get this abundance of fruit from and how do we bear it? We should never consider any alternative source but that of the Holy Spirit. Therefore in last week’s program we briefly touched on the fruit of the Holy Spirit by looking at Galatians chapter 5 verses 22-23.
Colossians 2:9-10 (AMPC) states 9 For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature]. 10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].
Since the Holy Spirit is part of the Godhead, and since the believer is in Him (Christ), the Holy Spirit is in Christ where we are, at the same time as Christ in us the Hope of Glory (Colossians 1:27). Therefore, the source of that fruit comes from the Holy Spirit, which is the best source and the purest fruit. The only thing in the way of this fruit that we are trying to bear and the person in front of us who desperately needs the fruit on our branch, is our free will.
Is our free will focused on the things of the Spirit or the things of the flesh? We cover in detail in Galatians 5 in this program.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Galatians 5:13-24.
In this the one hundredth radio and podcast program on Your Identity in Christ, we talk about how to bear an abundance of fruit that Jesus expects of us. In this mini series on The Dwelling Place, we find out what is that fruit that is mentioned in John chapter 15, verse 16, as we reference the fruit of the Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5, verses 22-24.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:16-18; Galatians 5:22-24.
John 15:8 (AMPC) When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine. 9 I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [continue in His love with Me]. 10 If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:5-18.
Matthew 7:21-23 (AMPC) Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? 23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Matthew 7:21-23.
Few enter the narrow gate that leads to life, but many enter through the wider gate and the broader and spacious way that leads to destruction (see Matthew 7:13-14). Those who are lukewarm are about to be spewed out of Christ’s mouth (Revelation 3:16). What does it mean to enter through the narrow gate. It all ties back to whether we are confessing Jesus as Lord. If we are seeking Him with all our heart, wanting to know Him. Are we abiding (which also means dwelling and living) in Christ, thereby bearing good fruit, worthy of admiration (Matthew 7:17).
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Matthew 7:13-20.
This week we recap verse 6 of John Chapter 15, with teaching but also bringing in commentary from respective scholars. We have been talking for many weeks now about the importance of abiding/dwelling/living in Christ Jesus. This week we focus on what Jesus Himself said would happen if we do not. The Word of God says those branches that do not bear fruit shall be gathered up by the reapers (angels) and thrown into the fire (hell) - see Matthew Chapter 13 (entire chapter for context), but specifically verses 40 and 41.
Tomorrow is not promised, not even the next hour is guaranteed. We are surely in the end times. Why gamble your next 15 minutes of life without Him? Receive Jesus into your heart today...now! (Revelation 3:20, Romans 10:9).
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:6; Matthew 13:24-53.
This week we recap the first five verses of John 15, and bring in other verses to support them. We talk about how we are cleaned by the Word of God, how we can abide/dwell in that Word (which is Jesus Himself), abide in His love for us, and the overall importance of knowing Him. Jesus said in John chapter 15 verse 5, Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.
This program ends, preparing for next week’s teaching on the next verse that tells us what happens to those who the Lord does not know because of those that decided not to know Him.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:1-5; Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews 9:14; John 14:6; Revelation 3:20; John 21:17; Matthew 22:34-40; 1 John 2:6; 1 John 3:4; Colossians 2:6.
I was on my way to meet a new acquaintance. I wanted to bring something for them to the meeting. I had no idea what they liked or didn't like. Not knowing them personally made meeting with them awkward.
How many of us are meeting with God and do not know where or how to meet with Him? When we get to the meeting, we don't know what to say to Him. Do you know that feeling of awkwardness and not being prepared? It is like an interview for a company where you have not done research about the organization.
The good news is, in Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 13 God says, "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." I strongly urge you, Beloved, to learn about God. In any relationship we must draw near to have a deeper understanding and a knowing of a person. In these times, of all times, it is essential for us to have fellowship with God, to hear God's voice, to trust in God, to obey God, and have faith in Him.
If we have a better relationship with everyone except for God, we need to examine how to make the relationship with Him better.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:5; Revelation 21:3; Romans 12:2; Hebrews 11:6; Hebrews 11:1; Hebrews 11:5; Psalms 138:2.
The Dwelling Place Relationship
Can you get the benefits of a relationship if it is a Long-Distance relationship? The more you are around someone, the more you get to know them. The more you get to know someone, the more you see the blessings from that relationship. This week we examine the steps you can take to draw close to God as he draws close to you.
-
Remember you are a friend of God
-
Lean on and trust in the Lord
-
The Word is God, so learn more about God through the Word
-
Learn God's personality through his nature and characteristics in the bible
-
Have faith in God and believe what He tells you
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 2:3-6 ; Matthew 7:21-23; John 15:5; Revelation 21:3; John 1:1; Romans 10:17; Proverbs 3:5-6; John 3:16; Hebrews 13:8; 1 John 1:5; 2 Peter 3:9; Isaiah 40:28; Psalms 121:3; Hebrews 13:5; Hebrews 11:6.
Removing false walls between you and God. Does distance make the heart grow fonder? Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 13 says, "When you seek me, you will find me, if, you seek me with all of your heart."
It seems God does not want distance between us and Him. In Jeremiah 29:13 He literally is telling you the benefit of seeking Him. We can only conclude that the opposite happens when you are not looking for God.
What things can cause you to not seek the Lord? As we look a little closer at Dwelling, in The Lord remember, It says in Roman's chapter 8 verse 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
I encourage everyone to draw near to the Lord. Remove anything that tries to pull you away from Him.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:4, 2 Corinthians 10:5-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:1, Ephesians 2:8, James 4:8, Jeremiah 29:12-13, Matthew 6:6.
Restoring your Dwelling Place. God removed the veil so nothing separates us from him. Do you sometimes feel separated from God? Sometimes because you can't see God, we can treat him like He is not a person.
Like a friend, God longs to talk with you. He is jealous for your love towards him. What is keeping you from spending time with God? Know, that whatever it is, God is always there for you. In fact, He will never leave nor forsake you. James chapter 4 verse 8 says Come close to God and He will come close to you.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:4, 1 John 4:19, Romans 5:8, John 3:16; 1 John 1:9; Philippians 4:7-9; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.
Why just hear about Jesus, when you can KNOW Jesus?
Have you ever talked about cooking or watched videos on cooking? Have you heard others stories about cooking but never actually followed a recipe and made a meal? This is what it's like to not actually be in something.
In John chapter 15 verse 4, Jesus says “Dwell in Me and I will Dwell in you.” Many times we can hear about being in Christ. We can talk about being in Christ. We even see the results from those who remain in Christ. All of these are great, but listening to someone else's experience is not the same as our own relationship in Christ. It is like saying you are friends with someone while never talking to them, spending time with them, or learning what they like. We all want real relationships. Why should Jesus want any less?
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:4; Matthew 6:33; John 1:1-4; Psalms 119:89; Proverbs 4:20-22; Colossians 2:3; Colossians 2:5-7; Colossians 2:9-11.
Dwell in Me and I in you. John chapter 15 verse 4 invites us to a relationship with the True Vine and the Vine-dresser. We get to dwell, abide, stay, and so much more in Him. This is more than just a relationship. It's a place to rest, renew, strengthen, and have shelter. The Lord's dwelling place invites us to have a home in Him. A place to go and find Him, be in Him, reflect, and have peace. How? By thinking on things above and not below. Jesus is in us when we open the door, and let him in our hearts. When he is knocking on the door to our hearts (Revelation chapter 3 verses 19-20). We are In Christ when we do the will of our Heavenly Father who sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, because God (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) loved us. If this is a place of rest and restoration, I say it's home. Home is another name for dwelling. Is Jesus your dwelling place?
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:1; John 15:4; Revelation 3:19-20; Philippians 4:7-9; John 1:1-4; Proverbs 4:20-22.
In John chapter 15, verses 1 to 4, we get to see the nurturing process of the True Vine (Jesus) and Vine-dresser (God the Father). We learn of the firm, yet loving role of the function of the True Vine and Vine-dresser. Both desire to give their sons (us believers) a firm foundation, food and sustenance for now and future seasons. It is like having a parent who disciplines, loves, and punishes, so a child grows up straight, strong, and with a solid direction. This process re-occurs and fortifies the substance of a child in Christ. Part of the growth of that child is to seek Jesus as The Way, The True Vine, in order to increase in the bearing of fruit.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Hebrews 12:27, John 15:1-4, Psalms 23:1-6, Hebrews 12:5-11, Matthew 7:8-11; Matthew 7:21-23.
Surrendering to being in His Presence. In John chapter 15, verse 1 it says I am The True Vine and My Father is The Vinedresser. As you go further into the chapter you read about how the Vine and Vinedresser work together to bring you to a point of maturity in Christ. Before this process can begin of I in you and you in Me (you as a branch connecting into The Vine), you must surrender things and submit to the authority of Jesus as Lord.
Is Jesus your Lord? Do you come under the authority of Jesus Christ? Are you open to having Jesus be the Vine? Are you open to God, your Heavenly Father being the Vinedresser?
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 15:1; Proverbs 20:24; 2 Timothy 2:19.
We look at how the Vine’s roots serve as an Anchor. Jesus, being the (one and only) True Vine can therefore serve as our Anchor (if we choose to Anchor ourselves in Him). It’s up to us to trust in Him in order for us not to be carried away by the strong currents of the world, and led astray into temptations and other forms of the evil in the darkness. We can trust in the Lord more when we realize that He is always the same, yesterday, today and forever. Not to forget also that His Word is forever settled in Heaven (Psalm 119:89). The benefits of being in His presence are immeasurable.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 11:25-25; Proverbs 20:24; Psalm 103:3-10; Psalm 91:1; John 15:1.
Continuing the focus on our relationship with our Lord Jesus, we begin to look at the very first verse of John 15. The True Vine that Christ is. In subsequent programs we shall be looking to see what it takes to be the branch that is connected to Him, in order for the all-important abiding in Him, and Him in us. Not to forget that we also get to bear fruit for others who are hungry to come and receive from us. For without this abiding and focusing our heart on Jesus, we are needlessly disconnected from our Source, our Creator, the Way, the Truth, and the Life that He is.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Matthew 6:22-23; John 15:1.
Two verses are the focus of today’s program – Matthew chapter 6, verses 22 and 23. Jesus is speaking about our eyes as the lamp of our bodies. What we look at determines if our conscience is cleansed by the Light of Jesus, or is shrouded in a dense darkness of guilt and condemnation in sin. We speak about the power of the Word of God, and our focus on Jesus, to not only deliver us, but keep us from having our consciences cloaked in such darkness, since Jesus (who is the Light – John 1:4, John 8:12) has already defeated anything less than the brightness of the radiance of Christ’s Glory itself, including sin, sickness and death. Are our hearts focused on the Light or are we distracted and entangled by the affairs of the World?
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Matthew 6:22-23.
How Jesus is the Light of Men, and what we focus on with our eyes dictates whether we are filled with His Light. Jesus, being the Word also, brings Light unto our path, and a Lamp unto our feet, but only if we focus on His Word. The decision is ours alone. Are we focusing on Him, allowing the Lord to deliver us from a conscience that is darkened in unrighteousness? Or are we willing to remain in sin, and the darkness that enshrouds it?
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 119:105; Psalm 1:2; Proverbs 4:20-22; Matthew 6:21-23; 1 Corinthians 6:17; Colossians 1:17.
Getting closer to the Lord is imperative to the believer. Getting to know Him by spending time with Him, and in His Word, which is Him, allows the Light that is Him, the Word that is Him, into our hearts. That our hearts would become free of all things that Christ Jesus isn’t. No more worries, anxieties, sicknesses. We have the choice, but the Lord deserves for us to choose Him and not remain in darkness, or even mere shadows of it.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 1:4-5.
The theme continues from last week, but with a temporary detour to encourage those battling temptations, going around the mountain of sin and repentance. There is a way of escape, and you have the ability to resist the devil and his temptations when you submit to God. The Lord is not the tempter but does not allow any evil temptation be so strong that we cannot resist it and escape from its seduction.
We then continue on and talk about placing the Lord before us instead of other idols (Psalm 16:7-9), and the importance of ensuring our heart turns to focus on the Lord and Him alone.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 Corinthians 10:13-14; Psalm 16:7-9; Jeremiah 29:12-13; Isaiah 26:3; 2 Corinthians 3:17.
You’ll Only Find Him when you Seek Him with ALL of your heart (Jeremiah 29:13). Call on the Lord, He will never decline your call. (see also Jeremiah 33:3). Be free by Being with Him. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Who doesn’t want that? Only the demonic realm and all who agree with its temptations and its lies, not knowing the Truth that would otherwise set them free.
We are at a loss without Jesus, but we don’t know until we know what we gain knowing Him. So much to gain by focusing our heart on the Lord and engaging in a deeper relationship with Him. The One who paid for you with a high price (if indeed you opened the door of your heart and let Him in – See Revelations 3:20). Using discipline to commit to a relationship where you actually get to KNOW HIM more, not just know OF Him in some of the chapters in that book on the shelf. Oh Lord cause our hearts to hunger to know you!
The Word of God in written form is not ink on paper, He is REAL and Alive and Active (Hebrews 4:12). Let us get to know this precious Jesus. We owe Him our time in an act of reverential fear and honor of the Lord. However, He doesn’t want you to come because you feel you HAVE to. He wants to draw near to Him because you WANT to. A relationship that is forced is not a true relationship born on a foundation of true love. Oh if we would spare time every day for Him. Let us seek Him first. Only then will all those other things that we wrongly believe we have to control, get added unto us by Him who is outside of time and has all good things waiting for your faith to act in the knowledge you have received it.
The Great Commission is important, but its effectiveness is limited without the One who paid for the Finished works at The Cross.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Corinthians 3:17; Jeremiah 33:3; Isaiah 26:3.
Come close to God and He will come close to you (James 4:8 AMPC). A simple set of words to understand, but nonetheless conditional. We own the first move. Let us position our hearts towards Jesus that He may receive our love without us expecting anything in return. Nevertheless, you cannot stop a loving Lord from making His presence known to His child once He sees their heart has made the choice of getting to know Him. It’s just a matter of time before you notice changes for the better in how you feel and the circumstances around you. Without knowing, you begin to activate the results of other conditional verses such as Matthew 6:33. Yes, even without having to memorize them.
One of the many benefits of spending more time with your Lord Jesus is one example given by David as recorded in Psalm 16:7-9. He wrote that he continually sets the Lord before him, and that because the Lord is at David’s right hand, he (David) will not be shaken. Nothing can be shaken which is firm in its foundation. If you keep the Lord set before you and you spend time with Him daily, nothing will be able to shake or disturb you from your trust and confidence. Let us spend more time in our Private room (Matthew 6:6), behind closed doors, so that the Father will see us in secret and reward us in the open. Let us be diligently seeking the Lord so that he will reward us. When the Lord gives a reward, who would ever be disappointed when He knows what is best for us?
Our hope in this current set of programs is that would commit to focusing more of your heart, for more of your day, towards Jesus. He, who loves you more than words can describe, paid for your rescue (Colossians 1:13), to be a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), to be cleansed of all unrighteousness in your conscience as we confess our sins to the Lord (1 John 1:9), and of course for you to have eternal life (John 3:16).
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 16:7-9; Matthew 6:6; Matthew 11:28; James 4:8; Psalm 46:10-11; Psalm 51:10; 2 Corinthians 3:17.
A child comes home to his or her parents, their clothes full of mud as they were playing with friends in the world. The door of the family’s home is wide open, never closed to those seeking rescue. The loving parents, so pleased to see their child made it home, love on their child by giving them a hot bath and a shower. The parents then feed their child a hot meal so he or she becomes nourished and becomes immune to illnesses.
Such is the love of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Christ Jesus. We are full of mud, walking aimlessly in this world, desperately in need of saving by the Rescuer, Jesus Himself. We are burdened by the chains of sin, hurts in our heart, depression, addictions, our body in need of healing.
The Lord is always ready and willing to help us. Instead of waiting for us to come to Him first, he makes Himself available and knocks on the door of our heart to let us know he is there (Revelation 3:20). But it is up to us to open the door of our heart to let Him in so he can help and grow and heal us. Based on the love of Jesus, He would be saying something similar to “Come to Me as you are. I know all things you have done and have been through. Nothing surprises me. This is why I came and gave my life for you, so that you would not die but live an everlasting life if you choose to believe and receive me in your heart. I have paid for you to be made a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). My Father and I love you so much (John 3:16). Just believe in me, I will wash your sins away as far as the east is from the west. (Psalm 103:12) I shall remember your sins no more (Hebrews 8:12), and neither should you remind yourself of them once you confess them to Me. (1 John 1:9.)”
The Lord washes us clean in our consciences (1 John 1:9). He offers us daily manna by way of His Word, His Scriptures. (Matthew 4:4). Again, we decide whether to eat of this Word for our soul desperately needs it. We decide whether or not to spend time with Jesus in a right relationship that He has already paid for us to have with the Father through Him. It is our choice, as with every decision our free will is able to make in our life on earth. The repercussions of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ on these decisions have a positive or negative effect in our daily lives.
This week we open up a new series, part 1 of ‘Come As You Are’. It is the invitation from the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father but by Him (Jesus). Therefore, it stands to reason we should focus our hearts on Jesus and the Father, with guidance and leading of His Holy Spirit. It doesn’t matter how much mud you have on you; Jesus wants to clean you off as you decide to allow him into your home. His arms open wide ready to receive you as you decide to receive Him and begin to love Him.
This program briefly discusses life without a relationship with Jesus, and spends much of the rest of the program on what it looks like to spend time focusing our heart on Jesus. Being Still and knowing He is God. Receiving rewards when disciplining ourselves to diligently seek Him without distractions, in a quiet place.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 31:10; Psalm 31:19-20; Psalm 31:23-24; Revelation 3:20; Psalm 16:7-9.
To forgive is just a word to some, but to others a verb. How can our words mean anything if the heart behind it is not love? 1 Corinthians 13 says, " if I speak in tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I become a noisy gong or a clinging symbol."
When we just say the words, “I forgive”, but our heart does not really mean it, we are just making noise. If we support forgiveness with a life in pursuit of the love of Jesus, love will remain.
Staying hidden in Christ makes walking in love a lifestyle of remaining in love and forgiveness.
How is this even possible, remaining in forgiveness and love?
In 1 John 4v16 it says, “And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him.”
Forgiveness in love can be made easier by dwelling and consciously being aware of remaining in love through Christ. In this, the noisy empty, meaningless words will become love through Jesus Christ.
We also talk on being able to forgive others completely with the support of God’s grace.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): - Colossians 3v12-13; Micah 7v18-19; Luke 6v35-37; Hebrews 10v17.
How many of us regret our actions once we know the truth about a situation? If you had known the truth, would you have acted differently? Perhaps in love and forgiveness instead of reacting in anger, frustration, and other ways? Those who do know the truth are called to a higher standard. This higher standard requires love, patience, kindness gentleness, self-control, goodness, faithfulness, and more on our part. We must wait in the heart posture of grace and mercy until those acting under false understanding are given truth. Can any man do this? Well Jesus did and more.
We must forgive those who act in blindness of not having understanding of the love of Christ.
Luke 23v34 And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Jesus wants people forgiven while in sin. Luke 6v35, 35 But love your enemies and be kind and do good [doing favors so that someone derives benefit from them] and lend, expecting and hoping for nothing in return but considering nothing as lost and despairing of no one; and then your recompense (your reward) will be great (rich, strong, intense, and abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind and charitable and good to the ungrateful and the selfish and wicked.
We forgive because, the lack of Gods character in their life causes the actions of different characteristics, which are of the devil. Jesus also said in John 8v44, " You are of your father, the devil, and it is your will to practice the lusts and gratify the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar [himself] and the father of lies and of all that is false.
Chose this day whom you serve. Are your nature and character towards forgiving and loving people, of the character of the Devil or of the character of God? If you reacted too quickly and choose to serve the wrong Master, how should you be treated? Aren't you happy that we serve a forgiving, loving, merciful, patient God? A God who loves us enough to forgive us while we are sinning, to correct the lack of wisdom. I sure am grateful, how about you?
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Deuteronomy 32:35; Romans 14:17; John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Matthew 6:14; John 8:1-11; Proverbs 23:7; Matthew 5:28; Luke 6:35; 1 Corinthians 13.
Looking at unforgiveness through God's eyes, makes it so clear. When did God forgive us?
Romans chapter 5 verse 8 (AMPC) - 8 But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
So we see that God's love for us causes him to forgive. Thus, we be conformed to the image of Christ in Romans 8:29.
As imitators of the love God had for his neighbor, us, we too are called to love and forgive sinners in their sin. Luke 6:35 shows this - 35 But love your enemies and be kind and do good [doing favors so that someone derives benefit from them] and lend, expecting and hoping for nothing in return but considering nothing as lost and despairing of no one; and then your recompense (your reward) will be great (rich, strong, intense, and abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind and charitable and good to the ungrateful and the selfish and wicked. God shows us the application of 1 Corinthians 13 (the definition of Love) in His character and heart posture.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Deuteronomy 32:35; Romans 14:17; John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Matthew 6:14; John 8:1-11; Proverbs 23:7; Matthew 5:28; Luke 6:35; 1 Corinthians 13.
Jesus prayed to his Father about the two criminals on the cross each side of his as recorded in Luke 23:34 “And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” They were criminals who had done something wrong, but Jesus asked his Father to forgive them anyway, because they “know not what they do.”
Why should we forgive others who hurt or betrayed us? Who are we to determine that we have a right to hold back forgiveness for another? If we do not forgive, God will not forgive us according to Matthew 6:14-15 (AMPC):
14 For if you forgive people their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.
What caused them to have a bad nature to want to do things to us? Today we talk about the ‘default’ nature of those that have yet to allow and show the love of Christ in their hearts. If we know why they did what they did, it can be easier for us to forgive them.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Luke 23:33-34; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8; Romans 5:12; John 8:44; Matthew 5:44; Matthew 18:35; Luke 6:35; John 8:1-11; Proverbs 23:7; Jeremiah 17:9.
This week we speak about the importance of praying for those in leadership, in our jobs, but also in our cities and country where we live. The Apostle Paul implores Timothy in doing the same under his teaching. The program also highlights how we must understand the nature of the spiritual warfare going on daily in this fallen world, including in governments across the world, with Ephesians 6:12 teaching us that we do not war against a person (flesh and blood) but rather the evil schemes of satan and the demonic realm. This is why we must pray for our leaders so that the devil cannot achieve his aim of disunity, disarray, destruction and oppression of God’s creation.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Isaiah 14:13-14; Genesis 1; Genesis 3:6; Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23; Romans 10:9; Colossians 1:13; Ephesians 2:5; Ephesians 6:12; 1 Timothy 2:1-2; Psalm 1:2; Proverbs 3:5-6.
How close is your relationship with God the Father? Is anything preventing you from enjoying the relationship He paid so preciously for, even though none of us deserved being offered rescue from an eternal spiritual death? Are you able to be close in relationship with Him, or are you wary based on experiences with your earthly father? We explore the Word of God that talks about His love for us, what He has paid and done for us to be offered complete redemption, sanctification and restoration. That veil being torn so we can once again enjoy a right relationship with Him through Christ Jesus.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 3:1-8; Genesis 3:6; James 4:8-10; Psalm 115:16; Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:4; John 8:44; Hosea 4:6.
"I believe in God”. “God has delivered me!” “Praise God!” Is your heart intending to speak to all three persons of the Godhead at the same time? Are you focusing on one of them in particular when you say the name “God”? Focusing on each person of the trinity can help foster a deeper relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three persons, One God.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 1:12; 1 John 5:7; John 1:14; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:17; John 3:16; John 17:1; John 14:6; John 7:38-39; Romans 10:9; John 17:15-21.
How did we react during and at the completion of 2020? Where is our focus that we may have a glad heart regardless of circumstances? (Proverbs 15:15).
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; Hebrews 13:8; Proverbs 15:15; Psalm 118:24; Isaiah 1:18; Revelation 3:20; Colossians 1:13; 2 Timothy 5:16; Psalm 138:22; Peter 3:9; Matthew 7:13-14; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 2 Corinthians 4:4.
This week we continue to speak on the new creation of God : the newly created Believer - when he/she comes to Christ Jesus, having faith in His name. The Word of God profoundly declares in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17: “Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away.” Behold, the fresh and new has come!
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 3:7-9; Colossians 1:13; John 1:12; Galatians 4:6; 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Continuing this week with part 2 of the series on sin and how to break free of the vicious circle. We teach how it is possible to actually experience freedom of sin, now that we as believers have been set free of the powers of darkness by the finished works of Christ at the Cross. As the believer is well aware, giving your life to Christ Jesus does not automatically make you immune to the desire to take action when met with a temptation. However, the Good News is that there IS a way out: The Word of God itself, and the will of the believer to take advantage of it.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Romans 8:1-2; Hebrews 12:1; Psalm 119:9-11; Galatians 5:24-25.
According to Romans chapter 8 verse 2 (AMPC), the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed the believer from the law of sin and of death. Jesus has set the believer free from the bondage of sin and the wages of it, being a spiritual death. Do you KNOW this promise of God, or is your conscience condemning you, continually keeping you in a prison of belief that you will never be able to get free of this entrapment?
If you are born again, you are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. According to Colossians 1:13, God the Father has rescued you out of the domain of darkness, and into the kingdom of his beloved son Jesus. So, to continue on in sin, believing you have no ability to overcome it, does not line up with what God did for you at the new birth. Christ Jesus not only opened the door to your prison cell, he demolished the walls and the foundation of the prison! You are free of sin and death, but do you believe it, accept it, and live it?
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): James 1:13-15; Romans 6:4-7; Romans 16:14-18; 1 John 1:9; Romans 8:1-2.
Born again or not, all are tempted by evil desires that come from the world and the powers of darkness that are around us. However, in this program we teach on scriptures that clearly show that neither Satan or the Lord are forcing us to take action on these temptations which can lead to sin which ultimately ends in spiritual (and sometimes physical) death. Rather, James 1:14 says “but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. “
However, Jesus makes a way of escape for those who want to be free of this wretched bondage that attempts to frequently encircle us. Saturating ourselves in the Word of God, praying, fasting, seeking God with all of our heart, but also believing that if we give our life to Christ Jesus, that we are set free and sin no longer has dominion over us (Romans 6:14).
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Romans 6:10-14; James 1:12-15; Galatians 5:16-26.
The Spirit of the Lord leads us to read Psalm 103 verses 1 to 5 to start this week. Then, in the second part of the program, we continue the mini-series, ‘Your New ID Is Enclosed’, now on Part 5. We continue speaking from Romans chapter 6 verses 4 to 10. God has blessed all believers, in that, at the moment we made the decision to give our life to Jesus and receive Him as our Savior and Lord, we were buried with Him, and resurrected Him with newness of life. By so doing, since Jesus was raised from the dead, thereby conquering death, so therefore the believer reaps the same blessing and magnificent free gift of eternal life, liberally and lavishly given in love by God the Father through His Son Jesus to all who would believe. Not of our own works, but by faith and believing on the name of Jesus.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 103:1-5; Romans 6:3-10.
We encourage and pray for those who are anxious and in worry at this time, bringing them hope by the Word of God. Psalm 91 assures us no foe can withstand the place where we dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. Those foes include all forms of evil, including sickness and disease. However, Psalm 91:1 starts out by saying “He who dwells”. This means that the benefits of the entire chapter do not apply to those who decide not to dwell and focus on the Lord. We all have a choice every day: Who shall we serve today? Jesus or the devil? This is of course reminiscent of the same choice Eve had at the tree in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3).
In the second part of the program, we continue the mini-series, ‘Your New ID Is Enclosed (Part 4)’. We speak from Romans chapter 6 where we read the Apostle Paul is telling the believers in Rome not to be ignorant of the fact that all who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death, and what this now means.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 91:1; Psalm 91:10; Isaiah 26:3; Romans 6:1-4.
We continue this mini-series 'Your New ID Is Enclosed (Part 3)', focusing on mankind’s need for salvation. How to become saved by faith in God, and the blessings that come with salvation. In this episode we talk about how undeservedly, God justifies the saved, and what that means. God’s grace, His undeserved mercy and forgiveness allows the believer to be in right standing with God. The believer is acquitted of all charges brought against them because of sin, which can only be remitted by the blood of Jesus, by confessing our sins, not to man, but to God. (1 John 1:9). How God has not dealt with us after our sinning (Psalm 103:10), but has dealt with His Son Jesus.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23; Romans 10:9; Romans 3:24; Exodus 20:16; Psalm 103:10-14; 1 John 1:9; Colossians 2:13-14.
Are you born again, know that Jesus came to offer you the choice of redemption, but not actually know what happened to cause the need for redemption in the first place? This week we continue the mini-series on how a single lack of judgment and obedience by Adam and Eve caused man and earth to fall together. That the undeserving love of God and the offer of redemption came by way of God sending His only Son. The sacrifice and shed blood of Christ Jesus allows us a way of escape from the devil being our father (John 8:44), and for us to make the most critical decision of our lives – to stay on the path that leads to an eternity in hell, or be rescued out of darkness by God and moved into His Kingdom and receive eternal life that continues in Heaven.
This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Hebrews 4:12; Genesis 3:19; John 10:10; Genesis 5:27; Genesis 6:3; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23; Romans 3:23-25; Romans 10:9; Colossians 1:13.
What happened to cause God the Father to send His Son in the first place? What happened in the Garden of Eden which caused man to trigger a perilous countdown to a spiritual death of eternal consequences? How did the evil nature of the devil and all forms of sickness, sin and death he is associated with, enter in at the time of the Garden? How did this virus of sin and sickness infect the entire human race from then on, taking the planet down with man at the same time?
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Hebrews 4:12; Psalm 107:20; John 20:30-31; Proverbs 4:20-22; Genesis 1:26; Genesis 2:16-17; Genesis 3:1-7; Matthew 4:8-11; Genesis 3:19; John 10:10; Genesis 5:27; Genesis 6:3.
Continuation of the distinction between being a fan and a follower of Jesus Christ. Discovering the need for instructions - the Truth which is the scriptures of the Word of God. Only then do we learn more about mankind’s desperate need for a Savior and a Lord when asking the question ‘Why should I follow Jesus?’
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Proverbs 3:5-6; Luke 9:23; John 15.
Catrice begins to explore the distinction between being a fan and a follower of Christ Jesus. The critical importance it is for all believers to examine themselves frequently to ensure they are true followers of Christ, rather than being only a fan of Jesus, spectating from the side with a ‘Christian’ label, falsely believing they are ‘meeting all the requirements’.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Luke 9:23; John 15:1-8; John 14:1-6.
We are excited that today is our first broadcast to the country of Zambia in South Central Africa! My Wife and I introduce ourselves and what the Touch of God radio program is about. We also teach on some fundamentals of scripture, and the believer’s identity in Christ.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 1:17-21; Psalm 119:89; Psalm 138:2; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12.
This week we talk on the importance of praying for those in authority and high responsibility. The laws that govern our cities, regions and countries where we live can bring freedom or captivity to a population. How important it is for the Body of Christ to stand up and not only declare God’s Word over the land to subdue it (Genesis 1:28) but also to pray for the leaders that have been put in charge to govern. Whether we love them, like them, or loathe them and the decisions they make, these are souls that God has created, and God wants them saved and reconciled back to Him. How much more will the people of a land be blessed if it is ruled by righteousness and justice. Not praying for others in high places can open them up to being manipulated by evil and the demonic realm which only leads to bondage and captivity in all kinds of ways for the citizens.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 Timothy 2:1-4; Hebrews 11:1; Proverbs 3:5-6; 1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:5.
We continue this week to focus on God the Father rescuing us from out of the powers of darkness when we made the choice out of our free will to accept and receive Jesus as our Savior and Lord. Also how faith played a central role in our believing in a the person of Christ Jesus by faith, since those of us listening were not around to witness Him at the Cross, and walking the earth over 2000 years ago.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Colossians 1:13-14; Romans 10;9-10; Hebrews 11:1; Galatians 3:26-28; Ephesians 1:3; Ephesians 2:4-5.
This week we look at the basics of what happened when you became saved, and what we still need to do. The understanding of the importance about meditating on the Word of God in order to be truly transformed.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): ; Ephesians 1:17-20; John 14:6; Romans 10;9-10; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12; Galatians 2:20; Psalms 1:1-2; Hebrews 11:1
A message that I believe was placed in my heart from the Lord to speak to the people of Mukuru, Kenya, as well as to the world at large. We pray and declare over the land of Mukuru, Nairobi, Kenya, and the places of the listeners to the program. We pray for repentance to happen in the hearts of those who are going on a different path to the one they should be on with the Lord. We speak life and health over these territories.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): ; Ephesians 1:17-19; Matthew 6:21; Romans 8:11.
The common phrase - “In Christ”, mentioned often by many. This being the place and position of the redeemed, restored, reconciled born-again believer in Christ Jesus. But, how do we know if we are the ingrafted, a requirement for being ‘In Christ’, that 2 Corinthians 5:17 speaks of?
In this program we speak on Genesis 22 and Romans 11 where the Word of God explains how the Gentiles were ingrafted into the Seed (Heir) that is Christ, due to the unbelief of the Jews. (God’s Grace nevertheless continues to allow His chosen people (Jews) the ability to believe and receive Christ Jesus as their Savior and Lord.)
This then helps us understand how we came to be In Christ, being a true believer in the Lord.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): ; Ephesians 1:17-18; Genesis 22:16-18; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 11:1-24.
We take a different path this week and focus on praying for the brokenhearted among you. This, while remembering who we are in Christ, and who has paid a price for us. That same LORD and Savior deeply cares for you and your heart and wants to heal it. Shall we allow him and open the door of our heart to Him?
You may have suffered the loss of a loved one, a friend or family member. You may be a child who has lost one or both parents. You may now be a widow or widower. This program is for you. The scriptures in this program remind us of how affectionately caring and watchful the Lord is of all of us. (1 Peter 5:7 AMPC).
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Isaiah 61:1; Psalm 34:18-20; Isaiah 26:3; Matt 11:28-30; 1 Peter 5:7
We continue this week in Job chapter 22, covering verses 21 to 28. Chapter 22 is Eliphaz’s response to Job. Eliphaz tells Job he needs to acquaint himself with the Lord, to push unrighteousness far away from his tents. Eliphaz also mentions in verse 28 that Job needs to decree so that what he decrees shall be established.
If we are in self-pity and complaining, nothing will get fixed until someone else prays for us. But we cannot lean on others continually, especially once we are growing in Christ and no longer babies having just been born (again). If we realize who we are in Christ and that it is JESUS who told US to speak to the mountain (Mark 11:23) then and only then will we see things change for the better. We just need to make sure we are decreeing God’s Will, and what He would want done. Hence the need to know Him, and to spend time in His Word, and with Him daily.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Job 22:21-28.
We revisit the conditional aspect of many verses in the Bible, and repeat the importance as well as some of the benefits of dwelling in the Lord (Psalm 91:1). We pray for the listeners to be able to acknowledge the Lord (Proverbs 3:6), to spend time with Him in the secret place (Psalm 91:1), to go about doing good with Him (Acts 10:38).Being anxious for nothing (Philippians 4:6; and also Matthew Chapter 6) allows us not to invite or entice evil upon our lives (Proverbs 15:15). What we say and what we believe have an impact, positive or negative in our circumstances and in our day.This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 91 verses 1 and 8; Job 22:21-23; Proverbs 15:15.
Many verses in the Bible are conditional. You only receive the benefits of what God has for you if you commit to an action and remain steadfast in that action. Psalm 91 is a popular chapter for many, but it too is conditional. Plagues can come near your tent (Ps 91:10), and we can be accessible by evil (Ps 91:8) if we do not dwell in the secret place of the Most High (Ps 91:1).
We also speak about wearing a mask due to the coronavirus. Believers should not be wearing one out of fear, but out of obedience to the rules of your city or country (Romans 13:1).
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 91:1-10; Luke 10:19.
This week we speak mainly on the first two verses of Job 22 (Amplified Classic Edition – AMPC) where Eliphaz is answering Job with what he needs to do in response to his discontent. How much should we learn from the basic instructions of Eliphaz here, to acquaint ourselves with the Lord, to agree with Him and show ourselves to be conformed to His Will. Eliphaz continues to explain that by doing so we shall prosper and great good shall come to you.
All of this was available to Job, an unsaved soul on the face of the earth, the Messiah not yet having come to pay the price for his sins and offer eternal life. Yet how much more, then, are you and I able to do due to being a born again and redeemed soul. With the living God indwelling us, with us positionally in heavenly places in Christ, we are overcomers, more than conquerors, and able to do ALL things through Him who strengthens us!
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Job 22:21-22 and also verse 28; Ephesians 1:17-19; Hebrews 4:12.
Today we talk about 2 Corinthians Chapter 5 verse 21. This verse explains that God the Father, made Christ to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become as an example of, and being viewed as being in, the righteousness of God.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:17-21; Psalm 16:8; Hebrews 2:8; Hebrews 1:3.
This program is best described by simply quoting the scriptures discussed in Ephesians 1 verses 17 to 21: 17[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, 18By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), 19And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, 20Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], 21Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 1:17-21
As we are to be the city of light on top of the hill (Matthew 5:14), God waits for us to speak to others about Him, so that He can make His Appeal Through Us to His lost and precious Creation. We are Christ’s personal representatives, walking this earth with the Creator of that earth within us, waiting to make His appeal through us to the lost soul in front of us. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16).
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 1:17-18; 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; Proverbs 3:5-6
This week we reflect on God’s Love for us, including His provision for breath in our lungs and other things we need in our lives. Also we talk about the importance of telling others about Jesus, and allowing God to work through us to set others free through healing and total salvation.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 1:17-18; Mark 16:15-19; Matthew 6:33; Matthew 28.
This week we teach on our responsibility as God’s kids to be Christ's ambassadors. As 2 Corinthians 5:20 states: So we are Christ's ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ's personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 1:17-21; 2 Corinthians 5:20
No decision of a free-will is ever forced, otherwise the will would not be a ‘free’ will. The most important free-will decision is the one in which we make for Christ, to receive Jesus as our Savior and Lord. God does not force this upon us, nor does he force upon us the Truth, which is the Bible, God’s Own Word.
This week we focus on asking the Lord for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. How this one prayer is important for us to ask before we read the bible or before we are taught by a minister of the Gospel. This, so that God can help us learn, comprehend and totally understand the Truth as we receive it.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 1:17-21.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is performing extraordinary rescues of countless souls in the spiritual realm every minute of every day when those souls make a decision for Christ Jesus.
A Great Rescue occurred at the moment you made the decision to give it all up for Jesus and allow him into your heart, confessing Him as Lord (Romans 10:9). This Great Rescue involved your (new) Heavenly Father, the Great Jehovah, YHWH Himself. There was no other way He could have rescued you from the powers of darkness EXCEPT via The Way, that being Christ Himself, only due to His shed blood and all of the works that were finished at the Cross.
God the Father, personally present in Christ Himself, was able to translate (rescue, capture, transfer) you from the influence and bondage to sin and all evil and into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son. (2 Corinthians 5:19; Colossians 1:13). Now we must keep our focus on Jesus, abide in His Word, and in Him, walk with Him daily, continue to acknowledge Him. Just as you would your best friend, only God is far better than your best friend on the earth.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Corinthians 5:18-21; Hebrews 4:12-16; Romans 8:2.
The undeserved favor, the mercy and favor of God has caused fallen man who received Jesus as Savior and Lord, to be reconciled, rescued by God the Father. God Himself rescued you from out from under the powers of darkness and into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son. You are a new creation, a new creature altogether (2 cor 5:17 AMPC).
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Corinthians 5:14-19; Hebrews 4:12, Romans 12:2
Do you believe who you are based on what the world says about you, based on your existing understanding of your own self? Or have you decided to put away all feelings, and sought the Truth of who God says you are.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): James 1:17-18; Matthew 5:44-45; John 3:16; Proverbs 3:5-6; Romans 12:2.
Today we look at how to be at peace in Christ by not being anxious for anything. Knowing your Heavenly Father is key in order to be able to trust in Him in every circumstance, in everything in your day. Know that He is for you and not against you. Be set free from all worry and anxiety so that you can be secure in the love and peace of God in Christ.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Phil 4:6-7; Prov 3:5-6

Continuing on from last week’s teaching on running your situation by God’s Word to see if that situation is lining up with God’s Will, or if you should speak to that mountain, using the measure of Faith that God has given you, so that it lines up with God’s Will by the name of Jesus.
Also what your heart is focused on, what you give your heart to, you become. Your anxious thoughts pull like a magnet on the things of evil (Prov 15:15 – AMPC). This is why we must think on things that are above (Phil 4:8).
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Heb 11:1-2, Phil 4:8, Prov 15:15.
Is the situation you are facing lining up with God? Do you know God’s heart for the situation you are going through? Are you waiting on God to move the mountain or are you speaking to it like Jesus told us to? Mark 11:23-24.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Heb 11:1-2; Rom 4:17-19; Mark 11:23-24.
We continue this week with how God breathed His Own Word, that He wrote the Bible and not man, with man being inspired by God to write what he heard in his heart to write. How it is critical to think like God thinks, not like we used to carnally think. How God does not change our minds, but waits for us to make the decision to give our life to Him, and receive His Son as Savior and Lord, before renewing our spirit so that we become born again, forever a new creation with the old having been buried with Christ (Romans 6:4). We also talk about using God’s Word for good purposes including conviction of sin and correction.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Corinthians 2:16
This week we are continuing on with the study of Proverbs 15:15 (AMPC), and the power of anxious thoughts that can encourage and reaffirm evil events in our daily lives. The power of thoughts and what you say with your tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and whether you decide to acknowledge God every day, spending time with him, walking with Him, knowing He is with you.... These things dictate how you will go through the situations in your life, and whether you will allow mountains (problems) to stay in front of you and not be cast into the sea. (Mark 11:23-25). It is erroneous to believe that God controls everything. He obviously doesn’t because He does not violate a free will. You decided when you gave your life to Jesus. God knew if and when you would, but He didn’t decide for you. You made that choice. The same goes for every day, and everything you do and believe while you do those things. Are we talking God with us? Are we allowing Him to flow through us? Are we taking every thought captive in obedience to Him?
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Proverbs 15:15, Isaiah 55:8, Proverbs 3:5-6
This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth which is the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God. If the believer still thinks the way he or she used to think, then they continue to live with fear and anxiety, believing that the situation controls them instead of the situation being controlled by their declarations of God over the situation.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version: John 8:32, John 8:36, John 8:44, Romans 8:2, Proverbs 14:12, Proverbs 15:15, Isaiah 55:8-9, Proverbs 3:5-6, Proverbs 12:5, 1 Corinthians 2:16.
In this week’s broadcast we focus on the reality of Jesus being the Word made flesh, who in turn brings healing and health to your flesh – your physical body. But have we contemplated this truth so we can receive this healing to our body, or do we continue on in our carnal misunderstanding of God’s will about divine healing, remaining sick along the way? Why do we continue to reject these scriptures and not accept them as the Truth, thereby being in disobedience to Christ? Why disobedience? We should not allow a sickness to remain in our bodies since that sickness was already bore by Christ (Isa 53:4).
Additionally, we do not own our physical bodies: We are not our own, we have been bought with a price by God. (1 Cor 6:19-20). When we accept this, we get healed. Or, when someone lays hands on us, we get healed if they believe by faith, but, we may not remain healed if we continue not to go after this Truth and accept it for ourselves, continuing on in life as a sitting duck allowing the devil and his works to continue unabated without our tongue deciding to use God’s Word against such attacks.
Also it is up to us to decide to understand the nature of God’s character so that we may not only understand who the believer now is in Christ, but also be able to represent God accurately, being a good witness and steward of His Word. That it is critical for us to understand the nature of God without communicating our misunderstanding of God to others, at the risk of leading them even further astray from the Lord.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified version: Proverbs 4:20-22, John 1:14, John 1:1-2 (AMP)
This program reminds us of the defeat of sickness and disease, as a result of God defeating the devil and his powers of darkness by him being disarmed (Col 2:15). The devil may still have the ability to inflict sickness and disease and other oppressive evil measures against humanity, but he has no authority to do so because of being disarmed by God in Christ, at the Cross (Col 2:15).
Now, the believer, having faith in, and using the name of Jesus, can triumph in Him over evil, by speaking God’s Word over a situation. As a result, the believer can set a person free from any work of the enemy including sickness and disease.
We also speak about the nature of how the human race multiplies and continues to reproduce fallen human beings due to the lineage back to Adam. That is until a person decides to become born again, giving their life over to Christ, receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Their old spirit is then recreated, their lineage to the fallen human race being severed. At this point, since they are a new creation (2 Cor 5:17), their new lineage now goes back one generation to Christ Himself.
This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified version: Colossians 2:15, Genesis 3:6, Hebrews 1:3, Acts 10:38, Romans 5:12, Matthew 25:41, John 10:10.
God told Joshua three times in four verses in the same chapter to be strong and courageous. (Joshua 1:6,7,9). Exodus 15:3 says ‘The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name.’
At all times, great and and not so great, God is saying that we are to be strong and courageous! We are to stand strong, and act who we already are as believers based on our identity in Christ.
To which of us be in Christ, we are Sons! We are to subdue the earth (Col 2:6, Gen 1:26, Rom 8:14). We are to speak and declare the Word of God over our homes, neighborhoods, towns, country and the world! (Gen 1:26, Prov 18:21).
We are not to bow to anxiety, worry or fear, no matter what the size of the mountain is (Mark 11:23-24), however grave the situation is. (Matt 6:25-34). 2 Tim 1:7 - for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
In this program we speak about this general topic. We pray and speak life over the people of the Mukuru Slum near Nairobi, Kenya, as well as all others listening. We return briefly to Psalm 91, and show that, like many other scriptural verses, verses 9 and 10 are conditional on the believer acting on the instruction given by the verse, in order to benefit from the stated outcome.
This program covers the following scriptures: Joshua 1:1-9; Matthew 28:19-20; Daniel 3:16-28; Psalm 91:9-10; Matthew 10:7-8; Luke 10:19; 2 Corinthians 2:14;
During these challenging times of sickness and disease in the world, or whatever troubles you are facing, we need to make the decision to not live in fear or worry, but to listen to God instead of moving away from him for one more day. God is always speaking to us, but are we holding a conversation with him? There is no relationship without communication. God has paid an extremely high price to allow us to be reconciled back to Him by believing in His Son Jesus and confessing him as Lord.Jesus wants us to cast our cares upon him, no matter what the cares are. In this program we discuss the ways God speaks to us, through His Word, through His Son, and in our daily circumstances. We have a free will to decide if we will read the bible, the Truth of the Word of God. We get to decide if we will spend time with Jesus, talking to him, but also being still and knowing that He is God. The believer is supposed to live free of anxiety (Matthew 6:25). We are to be the light in this world of sickness and disease, command all forms of sickness and viruses to be gone from people’s bodies. Laying hands on the sick so that they shall recover (Mark 16:17-18). Viruses should be fleeing from us when we submit to God! (James 4:7), since all forms of sickness and disease are the oppression of the devil (Acts 10:38).2 Cor 2:14 But thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ and reveals the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place.Brothers and Sisters, Army of God... we can do ALL THINGS through Christ, who strengthens us! (Phil 4:13).
In this program we draw the distinction between the popular Psalm Chapter 91, and the position of the believer as a new creation based on the finished works of Christ at the Cross.
While it is perfectly acceptable for a person to take comfort, believe and trust in the Lord by following Psalm 91, it is important to acknowledge and live by the finished works of the Cross. Jesus shed his blood to pay for all sin and for that sin to be forgiven for anyone who confesses it (see 1 John 1:9). The blood of Christ also paid for the new birth, the regenerated spirit of a lost soul, having been translated out from under the powers of darkness and into Christ’s kingdom (see Colossians 1:13). Why all of this? Just to be “certified” to get into heaven one day? No. It’s to do as Jesus did on this earth while we are still here. To bring the earth under control, to subdue it, to cast out sicknesses and all forms of death out of people. This, to demonstrate the Good News, the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Psalm 91 is Trusting in God and doing nothing except that. That compared to the new covenant that the new believer partakes of now since the blood of Jesus was shed. That new covenant was what God made with Jesus. That is, Christ in us, the hope of glory. That is, the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling the new creation, so that believers walk in the power of God, going about doing good, healing all who are oppressed by the devil, for God is with them (see Acts 10:38). You say, ‘Well, that was Jesus. We are not Jesus.’ You are correct, we are not God, but Jesus himself said we are to do the same works and greater than him (see John 14:12). We are not to sit back and hope we’re sheltered by the Almighty (Psalm 91). We are to walk in the dominion Christ restored for us, take charge, arise and shine and be fearless in this world, bringing heaven to earth, setting people free by Christ flowing through and from us.
This program covers the following scriptures: Ps 91:1-16; Heb 1:1-2; Matthew 26:26-28
In this week's program on your Identity in Christ, we talk about the situation in the world with the coronavirus (Covid-19) and how we should act when it comes to our faith. Jesus said for us to be anxious for nothing (Matthew 6:25-34). Luke recorded Jesus as saying that nothing would hurt us (Luke 10:19). We show how all sickness and disease is the oppressive work of the enemy Satan and the powers of darkness (Acts 10:38), and that Jesus came to destroy these works (1 John 3:8). Now the believer in Christ, renewing his or her mind to the Truth (Romans 12:2) can walk in the victory Christ Jesus has won for us, which includes going about doing the same works and greater than Jesus (John 14:12)… which means to make earth look like heaven, which means to lay hands on the sick so that they shall recover. It means to not be fearful about this virus or any other sickness or disease. It will not jump on you if you believe Luke 10:19 that nothing shall by any means injure you.
Believers are to be the light of Christ in the darkness (Matthew 5:16). We are to take action in declaring freedom for people in any form of captivity, and that includes sickness and disease. (Isaiah 61:1, Mark 16:17-18).
Believers: Encourage yourselves in the Lord. (1 Samuel 30:6), then encourage one another. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
Remember that …'the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.’ (Romans 8:19)
In this week's program on your Identity in Christ, we teach on Galatians chapter 5, verse 1 (ESV):
-- For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
How precious was, and is the blood of Christ, the perfect sacrifice for us, the undeserving human race. The finished works of our Lord include our release from being slaves to sin, sickness and disease and all works of the enemy (devil). How important is it now, then, to realize this Truth, and to believe and act free, and not to continue to be enslaved to the ways of our old father, the devil Satan.
For the believer is now truly born-again, dead to its old self. All things now being new. (2 Cor 5:17). The believer is now blessed from on high with a new spirit, in which God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit indwell. That new spirit which is us, being set free from generational curses if any existed before the old baptism unto death with Jesus. (Romans 6:4). Now all that’s left to do is believe. Believing by being transformed... by renewing the mind... which means reading what God says about us and everything, and.... believing.
In this week's program on your Identity in Christ, we teach on Romans 5.
We were all affected by Adam and Eve's decision to obey the devil instead of the Lord in the Garden of Eden (see Genesis 3:6). Romans 5:18-19 (ESV) 18 Therefore, as one trespass[f] led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness[g] leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
The one who trespassed was Adam. The One who died for us was the Last Adam - JESUS.
