REAL VICTORY 3-18-22 VIDEO

Sometimes in the midst of a hard battle, it feels like victory will never occur or happen. But in Christ we are more than conquerors. Victory is overcoming an obstacle and winning over a difficult problem or circumstance. There is a reward given to us who count ourselves victorious because of Jesus. Whatever you are facing today you have the victory in Jesus.

REV 12:11 Mikael and his celestial messengers conquered the Dragon because of the blood of the little Lamb and the word of their testimony! They did not believe that the agape of life discovered in Christ can be threatened or terminated in death!  MIRROR

1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.

Romans 8:35 Who could ever divorce us from the endless love of God’s Anointed One? Absolutely no one! For nothing in the universe has the power to diminish his love toward us. Troubles, pressures, and problems are unable to come between us and heaven’s love. What about persecutions, deprivations, dangers, and death threats? No, for they are all impotent to hinder omnipotent love, 

³⁶even though it is written: All day long we face death threats for your sake, God. We are considered to be nothing more than sheep to be slaughtered!

³⁷Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!

³⁸So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. 

³⁹There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! TPT

1 Sam 30:6 David was greatly distressed, for the men spoke of stoning him because the souls of them all were bitterly grieved, each man for his sons and daughters. But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

7 David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray you, bring me the ephod. And Abiathar brought him the ephod.

8 And David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them? The Lord answered him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.  AMP

24 Who would ever listen to this kind of talk? The share of the one who stays with the gear is the share of the one who fights — equal shares. Share and share alike!”

25 From that day on, David made that the rule in Israel — and it still is.

GOD’S CREATIVE POWER 3-13-22 VIDEO THE PATCH

Gods created power is manifested by the words that he speaks. He speaks and it happens.  When we find the word that God has spoken and we speak it we will have what we say. Do not be in snared by the words of your mouth. Faith filled words will put you over but fear filled words will defeat you. Words are the most powerful thing in the universe. There is a creative power of God‘s word in our hearts. God spoke and the new covenant was put into place. When Jesus spoke there was power. It effected people and things. He spoke to the wind, demons, the fig tree, even to the dead to rise. When Jesus spoke things happened. God always spoke first and then what He said came into being. He never does anything without saying it first. Greater works bring forth by the words out of our mouth. God said I have told my people they can have what they say but they are saying what they have. When you speak to someone who is hurting and your words leave them feeling worse than when you started you have missed the mark.

BLESSINGS 3-11-22  VIDEO BLESSED SPOKEN WORD 2

What does it mean to be blessed. Blessings come from a Greek word that describes the believer as being in a inevitable position for receiving God‘s favor. Blessings are an  extension of Gods grace. It is to be made holy, endowed with divine favor and protection. Blessings bring relief and pleasure as a welcome contrast to what one has previously experience. Blessings equal Gods original plan He does not want us to be sick, broke, lonely or sad. He wants us  to be rich in every area of our lives. We are supposed to be blessed. We are supposed to make the world jealous.

Heb 6:1 THEREFORE LET us go on and get past the elementary stage in the teachings and doctrine of Christ (the Messiah), advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that belong to spiritual maturity. Let us not again be laying the foundation of repentance and abandonment of dead works (dead formalism) and of the faith [by which you turned] to God,

2 With teachings about purifying, the laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, and eternal judgment and punishment. [These are all matters of which you should have been fully aware long, long ago.]

3 If indeed God permits, we will [now] proceed [to advanced teaching].  AMP

Heb 6:13 When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line.

GAL 3:13-14  Christ redeemed us from the curse as consequence of our failure to keep the law. In his cross he concentrated the total curse of the human race upon himself. In his abandoning himself to death, he absorbed and dissolved the horror of the curse in his own person. Scripture declares that anyone hanging on a tree embodies the curse.

14 This act of Christ released the blessing of Abraham upon the Gentiles! Now we are free to receive the blessing of the Spirit.   MIRROR

GAL 3:8 Scripture records prophetically that the mass of non-Jewish nations would be justified by faith and not by their own ability to be righteous.

WE ARE THE WORD  3-6-22  VIDEO SPOKEN WORD JESUS IS 2  DISK 2

We are the word in human form that now dwell among mankind We are now the living Word. Jesus was the Word made flesh. The Word was not written or spoken but simply had a face-to-face with God. But then Jesus Christ came. And the Word remains and it cannot be broken. We are the Word that became alive and more powerful now than a two edged sword. So what was the Word they had become and preached? It’s the gospel.

Deut 30:12 It is not [a secret laid up] in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it to us, that we may hear and do it?

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear and do it?

14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it.

15 See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil.  AMP

▼▼▼

Deut 30:12  It’s not on a high mountain — you don’t have to get mountaineers to climb the peak and bring it down to your level and explain it before you can live it.

13 And it’s not across the ocean — you don’t have to send sailors out to get it, bring it back, and then explain it before you can live it.

14 No. The word is right here and now — as near as the tongue in your mouth, as near as the heart in your chest. Just do it!

15 Look at what I’ve done for you today: I’ve placed in front of you Life and Good Death and Evil.  MSG

Rom 10:8 So what exactly was Moses saying? The word that saves is right here,

as near as the tongue in your mouth, as close as the heart in your chest. It’s the word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching.

9 Say the welcoming word to God — “Jesus is my Master” — embracing, body and soul, God’s work of doing in us what he did in raising Jesus from the dead. That’s it. You’re not “doing” anything; you’re simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for you. That’s salvation.

10 With your whole being you embrace God setting things right, and then you say it, right out loud: “God has set everything right between him and me!” MSG

▼▼▼

ROM 10:8 Righteousness announced by God’s faith, is the authentic conversation! Here, every definition of distance in time, space, or even indifference and hostility, is cancelled. The word is no longer a distant prophetic pointer in the mouths of Moses and Elijah! They announced its destiny to be mirrored in the incarnation! “The Word is extremely close to you. It spills over from your heart and becomes dynamic conversation in your mouth!” We publicly announce this message, since we are convinced that it belongs to everyone.  

9 Now your salvation is realized! Your own words echo God’s voice. The unveiling of the masterful act of Jesus forms the words in your mouth, inspired by the conviction in your heart that God indeed raised him from the dead.  MIRROR

MONEY IS AS MUCH SPIRITUAL AS IT IS PHYSCAL 2-27-22 VIDEO IT’S MY $$$

Money is as much spiritual as it is physical! The bank of mammon versus the bank of God. The Bank of mammon is the love of money itself, and is built on the belief that money satisfies your needs. The bank of God says the money you have received, made, or has been given if invested if used for his purposes will multiply 100 fold. An example is Abels offering became a voice that we still hear today. Because Abel gave from his heart. Stewardship is the management of somebody else’s wealth. We are called to be good stewards, to store up treasures in heaven. Live in peace with your money through God’s economy and receive his abundance as you make room for his purposes. He will turn your downturns into upturned.

LUKE 16:10 Integrity is the same principle in any context; whether it be in something really small and seemingly insignificant, or in something of extreme importance and consequence. If someone cannot be trusted with little, detail things, they will not be entrusted with big things.

12 So, if you cannot be trusted in stewarding what belongs to someone else, your reputation will stop others giving to you and your life remains one of a slave rather than an owner.

13 Not even a domestic worker can be employed by two masters; their devotion will be apparent – it can only be the money or the boss!

12 “And if you’ve not proven yourself faithful with what belongs to another, why should you be given wealth of your own?”

13 “It is impossible for a person to serve two masters at the same time. You will be forced to love one and reject the other. One master will be despised and the other will have your loyal devotion.

The events of the book of Haggai took place relatively late in Old Testament history – about 1500 years after Abraham, about 1000 years after Moses, and about 500 years after King David. God had recently delivered them from captivity so they were celebrating. They were in revival mode. The people were building a temple to praise God, but they got discouraged and left it undone for 15 years. They became self absorbed concentrated on their own homes and lives. Now Haggai comes on the scene.

Hag 1:5 Now therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways and set your mind on what has come to you.

6 You have sown much, but you have reaped little; you eat, but you do not have enough; you drink, but you do not have your fill; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages has earned them to put them in a bag with holes in it.   AMP

COUNT IT ALL JOY? REALLY? 2-13-22 VIDEO GOD SPOKEN WORD 2

In the midst a very trying and painful circumstances we are told to count it all joy. It is because these trials or circumstances do not have the final authority over God or in the Kingdom of Heaven. The Bible is filled with the testimonies of ordinary men and women who lived in hard times. They faced many losses, but still realize that there was more to life than anything the world had to offer. Testimony means the evidence orally spoken about some higher success supernatural in origin that changed natural circumstances.

David chosen to be King was hated by Saul. But he was promised he would always have a family member as King on the throne. Jesus came from his tribe.

JAMES 1:2 My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can!

JAMES 1:2 Temptations and contradictions come in different shapes, sizes, and intervals; their intention is always to suck you into their energy field. However, my friends, your joy in who you know you are leads you out triumphantly every time.  

3 Here is the secret: joy is not something you have to fake, it is the fruit of what your faith knows to be true about you! You know that the proof of faith results in a persuasion that remains constant in contradiction.

HEB 11:32 And so the list of faith-heroes continues. There is not enough time to tell the stories of Gideon and Barak and Sampson and Jephtah, of David, Samuel and the Prophets.

33 These are they who conquered kingdoms by faith. They accomplished righteousness by that same faith and thus secured the promise. By faith they shut the mouths of lions.

34 Their faith extinguished powerful fires. They escaped from fierce battles. They were empowered in spite of their frailty. They became heroes in battle and caused hostile armies to flee before them.

35 By faith women received their children back from the dead. Others were severely tortured for their faith and refused to accept release when it was offered them on condition that they would renounce their opinions. To have accepted deliverance then could have saved their lives, but their faith saw a more honorable and glorious resurrection.

36 Still others were mocked and ridiculed for their faith: they were beaten up, shackled and imprisoned.

37 While some were stoned to death, others  were sawn asunder with a wood saw. There were yet others who were tempted by the promise of possible release from torture, and then were brutally slaughtered with the sword. Many became wandering refugees with nothing but sheep and goatskins for clothing. They lost everything and were harassed and tormented.

38 The world did not realize their worth. These faith-heroes were often driven from their homes and forced to live in the deserts and mountains; sleeping like animals in caves and holes in the ground.

39 Their lives were trophies to their faith, as the substance of what was visualized by their hope, and the evidence of things their natural eyes never saw.

40 God saw the perfect picture in us; we now complete the history of their lives.MIRROR

HEB 12:1 So now the stage is set for us: all these faith-heroes cheer us on; they are the cloud of witnesses; as it were, like a great multitude of spectators in the amphitheater. This is our moment. As with an athlete who is determined to win, it would be silly to carry any baggage of the old law-system that would weigh one down. Make sure you do not get your feet clogged up with sin-consciousness. Become absolutely streamlined in faith. Run the race of your spiritual life with total persuasion.

2  Look away from the shadow dispensation of the law and the Prophets and fix your eyes upon Jesus. He is the fountainhead and conclusion of faith. He saw the joy [of mankind’s salvation] when he braved the cross and despised the shame of it. As the executive authority of God he now occupies the highest seat of dominion to endorse mankind’s innocence!  MIRROR

Acts 20:22 And now, you see, I am going to Jerusalem, bound by the [Holy] Spirit and obligated and compelled by the [convictions of my own] spirit, not knowing what will befall me there —

24 But none of these things move me; neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish my course with joy and the ministry which I have obtained from [which was entrusted to me by] the Lord Jesus, faithfully to attest to the good news (Gospel) of God’s grace (His unmerited favor, spiritual blessing, and mercy).  AMP

10  Then [Ezra] told them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold.   AMP

FAITHFULNESS 2-11-2022 VIDEO HEIDI FATHFUL 222

Faithfulness is loyalty, steadfastness, even during hard times when you don’t understand why something has happened. Faithfulness is a characteristic of God he will keep his word no matter what. We too must be faithful no matter what. This faithfulness we demonstrate stops the enemy from attacking us.

Lam 3:20 I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss.

21 Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:

22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!  His mercies never cease.

HEB 5:7 When he faced the horror of his imminent death, he presented his plea to God in an outburst of agonizing emotion and with tears.

8 Acquainted with sonship he was in the habit of hearing from above; what he heard distanced him from the effect of what he had suffered.
