REAL WORTH REAL RICHES  8-20-21  VIDEO TRUE RICHES 2

Wealth is defined as abundance. More than necessary to live on. A prosperous life. In the Spirit wealth and riches take a backseat to what it means to know God for yourself. His faithfulness. Abraham was a wealthy man very rich but he wasn’t known as much for that as he was known for being rich in faith. God considers Salvation His riches.

Luke 18:22 When Jesus heard that, he said, “Then there’s only one thing left to do: Sell everything you own and give it away to the poor. You will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

23 This was the last thing the official expected to hear. He was very rich and became terribly sad. He was holding on tight to a lot of things and not about to let them go.

24 Seeing his reaction, Jesus said, “Do you have any idea how difficult it is for people who have it all to enter God’s kingdom?

25 I’d say it’s easier to thread a camel through a needle’s eye than get a rich person into God’s kingdom.”

26 “Then who has any chance at all?” the others asked.

27 “No chance at all,” Jesus said, “if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it.”   MSG

Mark 10:21 Jesus looked him hard in the eye — and loved him! He said, “There’s one thing left: Go sell whatever you own and give it to the poor. All your wealth will then be heavenly wealth. And come follow me.” MSG

LUKE 12:32-34 You might sometimes feel so vulnerable and overwhelmed by the odds against you, like a fragile little flock of lambs amidst wolves! You have nothing to fear – it is your Father’s delight to give you the kingdom.

12:33 From now on, do life from a different perspective! Stuff does not define you!  Exchange whatever it was that you’ve been doing all along under the old system of performance, for this new life of adventure! Get it over and done with! Be compassion driven in your sharing and giving; this takes hoarding out of the equation. Get rid of your antique purses, which typically are your old, worn-out, performance-based ideas. Instead, become creative in the adventure of trading with a new kind of purse – one that is loaded with heaven’s currency – a treasure which cannot be exhausted, since it cannot be broken into or stolen, neither can it be ruined by moths! The stuff you’ve been hoarding before, are clearly targets for thieves and they get moth eaten anyway!

12:34 The heart is naturally drawn to the place where one’s treasure is. MIRROR ▼▼▼

Luke 12:32 Don’t be afraid of missing out. You’re my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself.

33 “Be generous. Give to the poor. Get yourselves a bank that can’t go bankrupt, a bank in heaven far from bankrobbers, safe from embezzlers, a bank you can bank on.

34 It’s obvious, isn’t it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being. MSG

 ▼▼▼

LUKE 12:32-34 So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom with all its promises!

³³ “Now, go and sell what you have and give to those in need; you will be making deposits in your account in heaven, an account that will never be taken from you. Your gifts will become a secure and unfailing treasure, deposited in heaven forever.

³⁴ Where you deposit your treasure, that is where you fix your thoughts—and your heart will long to be there also.” TPT

COL:2 The mandate of my ministry is for everyone’s heart to be awakened to their true identity, intertwined in love’s tapestry. This will launch you into a life of knowing the wealth of every conclusion and joint witness hidden within the mystery of God who fathered us and co-revealed us in Christ.

3 Everything that could possibly define our wealth is 1hidden in Christ. In this place of our union in him the complete treasure of all wisdom and knowledge is sourced.  MIRROR

Col 2:2  [For my concern is] that their hearts may be braced (comforted, cheered, and encouraged) as they are knit together in love, that they may come to have all the abounding wealth and blessings of assured conviction of understanding, and that they may become progressively more intimately acquainted with and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly that mystic secret of God, [which is] Christ (the Anointed One).

3 In Him all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden. AMP

isa 61:6   But you will be known as Priests of Yahweh,^[ and called Servants of our God.  You will feast on the wealth of nations and revel in their riches
7 Because you received a double dose of shame and dishonor, you will inherit a double portionof endless joy and everlasting bliss!⁸ “For I, Yahweh, love fairness and justice, and I hate stealing and sin. I will rightly repay them because of my faithfulness and enter into an everlasting covenant with them. TPT

▼▼▼

Isa 61:6 But you’ll have the title “Priests of God,” honored as ministers of our God. You’ll feast on the bounty of nations, you’ll bask in their glory.

7 Because you got a double dose of trouble and more than your share of contempt, Your inheritance in the land will be doubled and your joy go on forever.

8 “Because I, God, love fair dealing and hate thievery and crime, I’ll pay your wages on time and in full, and establish my eternal covenant with you. MSG

LUKE 12:15-21 Then he said to everyone, “Be on your guard to protect yourselves from any trace of covetousness or superfluous desires! Things outside of you do not define you, so, be watchful not to reduce your life to the typical rat-race of getting more and more stuff; much rather discover how rich you already are in yourself! Life is not about getting; it’s about giving!

12:16 He then told them the following parable, A certain man’s fields were yielding abundant crops.

12:17 He then reasoned within himself, plotting what to do with such a large harvest.

12:18 Ah, he reckoned, here’s what I’ll do! I will demolish the old granaries and build much bigger and better barns wherein I may gather and treasure all my grain and belongings!

12:19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have a lot of good things in store, enough to go on a permanent vacation! You might as well indulge and begin the feast right now, eat and drink your fill. Endless merriness awaits you!

12:20 But God said to him, “You obviously did not think this through! Tonight you die, then who does it all belong to?”  

12:21 This is the typical dilemma of a person whose treasure is reduced to his own ability to accumulate things for himself in order to define him, rather than discovering his wealth in God.  MIRROR

Eph 3:8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God’s consecrated people), this grace (favor, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human being could have searched out],   AMP

Heb 11:26 He considered the contempt and abuse and shame [borne for] the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward and away to the reward (recompense).

27 [Motivated] by faith he left Egypt behind him, being unawed and undismayed by the wrath of the king; for he never flinched but held staunchly to his purpose and endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is invisible.  AMP

▼▼▼

Heb 11:26 He valued suffering in the Messiah’s camp far greater than Egyptian wealth because he was looking ahead, anticipating the payoff.

27 By an act of faith, he turned his heel on Egypt, indifferent to the king’s blind rage. He had his eye on the One no eye can see, and kept right on going.

28 By an act of faith, he kept the Passover Feast and sprinkled Passover blood on each house so that the destroyer of the firstborn wouldn’t touch them. MSG

Heb 11:8 [Urged on] by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go.

9 [Prompted] by faith he dwelt as a temporary resident in the land which was designated in the promise [of God, though he was like a stranger] in a strange country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs with him of the same promise. 

10 For he was [waiting expectantly and confidently] looking forward to the city which has fixed and firm foundations, whose Architect and Builder is God. AMP

2 Cor 9:10 This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God,

11 wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God. MSG  

1 Tim 6:17 Tell those rich in this world’s wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money, which is here today and gone tomorrow. Tell them to go after God, who piles on all the riches we could ever manage — 

LUKE 16:13 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! The one will be despised and the other loved; the one clung to while the other is scorned. It is not possible to be a bond-friend of God and mamon at the same time. MIRROR

EPH 1:7-10 Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by his blood—the total cancellationof our sins—all because of the cascading richesof his grace.

⁸ This superabundant grace is already powerfully working in us, releasing all forms of wisdom and practical understanding.

 ⁹ And through the revelation of the Anointed One, he unveiled his secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of his long-range plan, which he was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time.

10 And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ.  TPT

NO WEAPON 8-15-21 

You have power over every word spoken against you in the natural or in the supernatural realm. Every lie cannot prosper or infect or affect you. Every tongue that speaks judgment to condemn you shall not prosper. All because you look like Jesus. Your heritage or inheritance is peace, righteousness and triumph. Because of what Christ did nothing the enemy does can defeat us.

Isa 54:17 But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.  AMP

▼▼▼

RO 5:1 The conclusion is clear: our blameless innocence has absolutely nothing to do with something we did to qualify ourselves; it is what happened to us, solely because of our Lord Jesus Christ’s doing. Faith, and not reward, is the only valid basis for righteousness! Let us now fully engage this seamless union in our face to face friendship with God! MIRROR

PHIL 3:9 So here I am; found in Christ! I was looking in the wrong place all along! My own duty-and-guilt-driven religious endeavor snared me in the cul-de-sac maize of self-righteousness, sponsored by the law of works!

TRUSTING 8-13-21 VIDEO TRUST HIM

Trusting, excepting, believing, confident, unsuspecting, childlike. An action based on security independent of circumstances. A resting of the mind on the integrity of another person. Trust has a little to do with the one that is trusting and more to do with whom they are trusting in. it is like a parent child relationship. The child doesn’t worry about where the food is coming from but knows his parents will provide.

Rom 9:30  How can we sum this up? All those people who didn’t seem interested in what God was doing actually embraced what God was doing as he straightened out their lives.

31 And Israel, who seemed so interested in reading and talking about what God was doing, missed it.

32 How could they miss it? Because instead of trusting God, they took over. They were absorbed in what they themselves were doing. They were so absorbed in their “God projects” that they didn’t notice God right in front of them, like a huge rock in the middle of the road. And so they stumbled into him and went sprawling.

9 We felt like we’d been sent to death row, that it was all over for us. As it turned out, it was the best thing that could have happened. Instead of trusting in our own strength or wits to get out of it, we were forced to trust God totally — not a bad idea since he’s the God who raises the dead!

The old type of guess-talk has become totally irrelevant; Christ is not hiding somewhere in the realm of heaven as a future hope; so, to continue to say, “Who will ascend into heaven, to bring Christ down”, makes no sense at all! MIRROR

Rom 10:9 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.  MSG

THE TANGIBLE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE MIRACLOUS 8-1-21 VIDEO TODD BENTLY TANGABLE PRESENCE 2

We, have being told in the Scriptures from the book of Esther that, “we have come into the kingdom for such a time as this“. Perhaps it means in part that the body of Christ , the manifest Sons of God, are going to rise up more in the realm of miracles. Miracles are a surprise or welcomed event that is not explainable by the natural or scientific laws therefore consider to be from God. A highly improbable or extraordinary event or development or accomplishment that brings very very welcomed circumstance. Jesus did miracles of healings. Miracles  happen immediately. Jesus sent out his disciples to do miracles. We are also commission for this. 

ACTS 10:38-45 “Jesus of Nazareth was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and with great power. He did wonderful things for others and divinely healed all who were under the tyranny of the devil, for God had anointed him.

³⁹ We apostles were eyewitnesses to all the miraclesthat he performed throughout the land of Israel. Finally, in Jerusalem, he was crucified on a cross,

⁴⁰ but God raised him from the dead three days later, allowing him to be seen openly. ⁴¹ He didn’t appear to everyone, but he appeared to us, his chosen witnesses. He actually ate and drank with usafter he rose from the dead!

⁴² “Jesus ordered us to preach and warn the peoplethat God had appointed him to be the judge of the living and the dead.

⁴³ And not only us, but all of the prophets agree in their writings that everyone who believes in him receives complete forgivenessof sins through the power of his name.”

⁴⁴ While Peter was speaking, the Holy Spirit cascaded over all those listening to his message.

45 The Jewish brothers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on people who weren’t Jews,  TPT

1 John 3:8 [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]. AMP

MATT 12:12 Isn’t a man much more valuable than a lamb? So of course, it’s always proper to do miracles, even on the Sabbath.”TPT

MATT 13:17 Many prophets and godly people yearned to see these days of miracles that you’ve been favored to see. They would have given everything to hear the revelation you’ve been favored to hear. TPT

MATT 15:31 And the crowds marveled with amazement, astounded over the things they were witnessing with their own eyes! The lame were walking, the mute were speaking, the crippled were made well, and the blind could see. For three days everyone celebrated the miracles as they exalted and praised the God of Israel!  TPT

MK 9:38-40 John spoke up and said, “Teacher, we noticed someonewas using your name to cast out demons, so we tried to stop him because he wasn’t one of our group.”

³⁹ “Don’t stop him!” Jesus replied. “For the one who does miracles in the power of my name proves he is not my enemy.

⁴⁰ And whoever is not against us is for us. TPT

LU 8:40-44 When Jesus returned to Galilee, the crowds were overjoyed, for they had been waiting for him to arrive.

^41–42 Just then, a man named Jairus, the leader of the local Jewish congregation, fell before Jesus’ feet. He desperately begged him to come and heal his twelve-year-old daughter, his only child, because she was at the point of death.

As Jesus started to go with him to his home to see her, a large crowd surrounded him. ⁴³ In the crowd that day was a woman who had suffered greatly for twelve yearsfrom slow bleeding. Even though she had spent all that she had on healers, she was still suffering.

⁴⁴ Pressing in through the crowd, she came up behind Jesus and touched the fringeof his garment. Instantly her bleeding stopped and she was healed.  TPT

LU 8:51-55 When they arrived at the house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, and Jacob—along with the child’s parents—to go inside.

⁵² Jesus told those left outside, who were sobbing and wailing with grief, “Stop crying. She is not dead; she’s just asleep and must be awakened.”

⁵³ They laughed at him, knowing for certain that she had died.

⁵⁴ Jesus approached the body, took the girl by her hand, and called out with a loud voice, “My sleeping child, awake! Rise up!”

^55–56 Instantly her spirit returned to her body and she stood up.

Jesus directed her stunned parents to give her something to eat and ordered them to tell no one what just happened. TPT

▼▼▼

LU 8:51 When they got to the house he would not let anyone in except Peter, James and John, as well as the father and mother of the girl.

8:52 Everyone outside was weeping and overcome with grief, but Jesus said, there is no need for weeping since she is only sleeping and not dead!  

8:53 Their wailing immediately became scornful laughter since they were convinced that she was dead.

8:54 He then grabbed her hand firmly and summoned her, “Little lady, arise!”

8:55 Her spirit immediately returned and she stood up! Jesus then suggested that they bring her something to eat.  MIRROR

LU 9:1 Then he summoned the twelve together and gave them power and an understanding of their Source in their I am-ness [authority] over all demons and to heal all diseases.  

9:2 And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.  

9:3 He then advised them to travel light! They wouldn’t need a staff or travel-bag; not even food or money; neither a change of clothes.

9:4 Allow the hospitality of the locals to be your home-base to operate from.

9:5 If people don’t receive you, move on!  Don’t carry the negative energy with you! Don’t take it personal or be offended!

9:6 Thus they were on their way, visiting village after village, spreading the good news and curing people everywhere.  MIRROR

▼▼▼

LU 9:1-6  Jesus summoned together his twelve apostlesand imparted to them authority over every demon and the power to heal every disease.

² Then he commissioned them to proclaim God’s kingdom and to heal the sick to demonstrate that the kingdom had arrived. As he sent them out, he gave them these instructions:

³ “Take nothing extra on your journey. Just go as you are. Don’t carry a staff, a backpack, food, money, not even a change of clothes.

⁴ Whatever home welcomes you as a guest, remain there and make it your base of ministry.

⁵ And wherever your ministry is rejected, you are to leave that town and shake the dust off your shoes as a testimony before them.”

⁶ The apostles departed and went into the villages with the wonderful news of God’s kingdom, and they healed diseases wherever they went. TPT

ACTS 5:12-16 The apostles performed many signs, wonders, and miracles among the people.

¹³ And the believers were wonderfully united as they met regularly in the temple courts in the area known as Solomon’s Porch. No one dared harm them, for everyone held them in high regard.

¹⁴ Continually more and more people believed in the Lordand were added to their number—great crowds of both men and women.

¹⁵ In fact, when people knew Peter was going to walk by, they carried the sick out to the streets and laid them down on cots and mats, knowing the incredible power emanating from him would overshadow them and heal them.

¹⁶ Great numbers of people swarmed into Jerusalem from the nearby villages. They brought with them the sick and those troubled by demons—and everyone was healed! TPT

ACTS 8:6-8 The crowds were eager to receivePhilip’s message and were persuaded by the many miracles and wonders he performed.

⁷ Many demon-possessed people were set free and delivered as evil spirits came out of them with loud screams and shrieks, and many who were lame and paralyzed were also healed.

⁸ This resulted in an uncontainable joy filling the city! TPT

ACTS 16:22 A great crowd gathered, and all the people joined in to come against them. The Roman officials ordered that Paul and Silas be stripped of their garments and beaten with rods on their bare backs. TPT

ACTS 19:11-12 God kept releasing a flow of extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul.

¹² Because of this, people took Paul’s handkerchiefs and articles of clothing, even pieces of cloth that had touched his skin, laying them on the bodies of the sick, and diseases and demons left them and they were healed. TPT

1 COR 12:4-10 It is the same Holy Spirit who continues to distribute many different varieties of gifts.
⁵ The Lord Yahweh is one, and he is the one who apportions to believers different varieties of ministries.
⁶ The same God distributes different kinds of miraclesthat accomplish different results through each believer’s gift and ministry as he energizes and activates them.⁷ Each believer is given continuous revelationby the Holy Spirit to benefit not just himself but all.

⁸ For example: The Spirit gives to one the gift of the word of wisdom. To another, the same Spirit gives the gift of the word of revelation knowledge.
⁹ And to another, the same Spirit gives the gift of faith.  And to another, the same Spirit gives gifts of healing.
¹⁰ And to another the power to work miracles. And to another the gift of prophecy.  And to another the gift to discern what the Spirit is speaking. And to another the gift of speaking different kinds of tongues. And to another the gift of interpretation of tongues.

 TPT ▼▼▼

1 COR 12:4 There may be different manifestations of the grace gifts but they will not confuse, since the same Spirit is speaking.

12:5 Also ministries may appear to be different in their function but the same Lord endorses his purpose and management in everyone.

12:6 We might be doing things differently but we are drawing from the same source. God energizes each and everyone for their particular purpose.

12:7 Every expression of the Spirit is given to bring that which God accomplished in Christ into full focus.  

12:8 To one is given a word that clears the air and wisdom prevails; to another a word of knowledge, where something that could not be known in any other way comes to light! The same Spirit is the source.

12:9 Yet another person is inspired with a gift of faith in the same Spirit and another with gifts of healing of specific diseases in the same Spirit.

12:10 And to another the working of mighty acts of miracles, and to another enlightened speech [prophecy]; to another the ability to discern the difference between God’s Spirit and a foreign spirit; to someone else the ability to communicate in many different languages; another has a gift to interpret these languages.   MIRROR

JOEL’S PROPHECY  7-25-21  BY MARY DORIAN

Acts 2:16-21 This is the fulfillment of what was prophesied through the prophet Joel, for God says:

¹⁷ ‘This is what I will do in the last days—I will pour outmy Spirit on everybody and cause your sons and daughters to prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will experience dreams from God.

¹⁸ The Holy Spirit will come upon all my servants, men and women alike, and they will prophesy.

¹⁹ I will reveal startling signs and wonders in the sky above and mighty miracles on the earth below. Blood and fire and pillars of cloudswill appear.

²⁰ For the sun will be turned darkand the moon blood-red before that great and awesome appearance of the day of the Lord.

²¹ But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ ” TPT

18 When the time comes, I’ll pour out my Spirit On those who serve me, men and women both, and they’ll prophesy.

19 I’ll set wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below, Blood and fire and billowing smoke,

7 For who are you, O great mountain [of human obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who with Joshua had led the return of the exiles from Babylon and was undertaking the rebuilding of the temple, before him] you shall become a plain [a mere molehill]!

MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING. 7-23-21  VIDEO

Mercies. God made a covenant of mercy with Israel because they belong to him. So he was always there for them. God extends mercy to all who He loves. Mankind‘s mercy is based on actions however God‘s mercy is based on love. God is merciful to all of mankind he made them in his image and likeness. God‘s judgments are for his children and they are for mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. And the day of judgment for those who belong to God… Mercy WILL WIN. So we can look forward to that day. We could extend mercy to those who need it. Jesus sprinkled his blood on the mercy seat. His blood is everlasting. Jesus fulfills the covenant of mercy that he made with David. That’s why they cried out son of David have mercy on me.

FULLY PERSUADED 7-18-21  VIDEO SPOKEN GODS WORD 2

Persuaded means someone believes something from their heart that they know to be true in spite of logic. Letting go of human reasoning and believe in God is conviction. Persuade is to be convince beyond a shadow of a doubt. So convinced you can live in a revelation even before it comes to pass in the natural. The opposite of persuade is to be hard hearted. Jesus moved in power and his words and miracles persuaded people to change their heart. Jesus came to persuade and convinced the world that God love them. 

Jer 15:19 Therefore thus says the Lord [to Jeremiah]: If you return [and give up this mistaken tone of distrust and despair], then I will give you again a settled place of quiet and safety, and you will be My minister; and if you separate the precious from the vile [cleansing your own heart from unworthy and unwarranted suspicions concerning God’s faithfulness], you shall be My mouthpiece.

Your ancestors challenged me over and over with their complaining,even though I had convinced them of my power and love. They still doubted my care for them.
¹⁰ So for forty long years I was grieved and disgusted by them. I described them as wicked wanderers whose hearts would not follow my ways or keep my words.

24 And some were convinced and believed what he said, and others did not believe.

25 And as they disagreed among themselves, they began to leave, [but not before] Paul had added one statement [more]: The Holy Spirit was right in saying through Isaiah the prophet to your forefathers:

26 Go to this people and say to them, You will indeed hear and hear with your ears but will not understand, and you will indeed look and look with your eyes but will not see [not perceive, have knowledge of or become acquainted with what you look at, at all].

27 For the heart (the understanding, the soul) of this people has grown dull (stupid, hardened, and calloused), and their ears are heavy and hard of hearing and they have shut tight their eyes, so that they may not perceive and have knowledge and become acquainted with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their souls and turn [to Me and be converted], that I may heal them. 

28 So let it be understood by you then that [this message of] the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen [to it]!

CHANGING YOUR THOUGHTS 7-16-21  VIDEO

If you change your thoughts to agree with the Holy Spirit you will achieve your destiny. What you think in your heart will be what comes to pass. We tend to think from our heart. God thinks better thoughts about us and people than we can imagine. Jesus could see peoples thoughts and he knew their hearts. Let your heart change your thinking let it change your mind so that you can receive and speak the words of life.

Rom 8:6 Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life.

7 Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing.

8 And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.

9 But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won’t know what we’re talking about.

ROM 8:6 Thinking patterns are formed by reference; either the sensual appetites of the flesh and spiritual death, or zoe-life and total tranquillity flowing from a mind addicted to spirit realities.

8 It is impossible for those immersed in flesh to at the same time accommodate themselves to the opinion, desire and interest of God.

7 His mission however, was not to prove his deity, but to embrace our humanity. Emptied of his reputation as God, he fully embraced our physical human form; born in our resemblance he identified himself as the servant of the human race. His love enslaved him to us!

EPH 6:12 People are not the enemy, to target one another is to engage in the wrong combat. We represent the authority of the victory of Christ in the spiritual realm.

Scriptures for Healing Incurable. JULY 10 2021 BY Mary Dorian

John 20:23 “If you 1forgive someone’s sins, they are gone and forgotten. If you don’t 2let go, then you are 2stuck with them.”  Mirror

Ps 32:10-11 So my conclusion is this: Many are the sorrows and frustrations of those who don’t come clean with God. But when you trust in the Lord for forgiveness, his wraparound love will surround you.
¹¹ So celebrate the goodness of God! He shows this kindness to everyone who is his.
Go ahead—shout for joy, all you upright ones who want to please him! TPT

▼▼▼

Ps 32:10-11 God-defiers are always in trouble; God-affirmers find themselves loved every time they turn around.

11 Celebrate God. Sing together — everyone! All you honest hearts, raise the roof! MSG

HEB 9:22-28 Actually, nearly everything under the law was purified with blood, since forgiveness only comes through an outpouring of blood.

²³ And so it was necessary for all the earthly symbolsof the heavenly realities to be purified with these animal sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves required a superior sacrifice than these. ²⁴ For the Messiah did not enter into the earthly tabernacle made by men, which was but an echo of the true sanctuary, but he entered into heaven itself to appear before the faceof God in our place.

²⁵ Under the old system year after year the high priest entered the most holy sanctuary with blood that was not his own. But the Messiah did not need to repeatedly offer himself year after year,

²⁶ for that would mean he must suffer repeatedly ever since the fall of the world.^[c] But now he has appeared at the fulfillment of the ages to abolish^[d] sin once and for all by the sacrifice of himself!

²⁷ Every human being is appointed to die once, and then to face God’s judgment.

²⁸ But when we die we will be face-to-face with Christ, the One who experienced death once for all to bear the sins of many!^[f] And now to those who eagerly await him, he will appear a second time; not to deal with sin, but to bring us the fullness of salvation.^TPT

▼▼▼

Heb 9:22-28 9:22 Thus, according to the law, all purging was by means of blood; 1forgiveness was specifically associated with the shedding of blood.  

9:23 If the methods of the law were only a shadow prefiguring the heavenly reality, the fulfillment of these examples surely requires a stronger and more efficacious sacrifice.

9:24 In Christ we have so much more than a type, reflected in the tabernacle of holy places which was set up by human hands. He entered into the heavenly sphere itself, where he personally mirror-exhibits us face to face with God.  

9:25 Neither was it necessary for him to ever repeat his sacrifice. The High Priests under the old shadow system stood proxy with substitute, animal sacrifices that had to be offered every year.

9:26 But Jesus did not have to suffer again and again since the fall of the world; the single sacrifice of himself, in the fulfillment of history, now reveals how he has brought sin to nought. He was made manifest once and for all, at the conclusion of the age, in order to do away with sin.   

9:27 So, every person’s 1once-off appointment with death is mirrored in the full consequence of 2this very judgment, which Jesus now disengaged!  

9:28 Thus, in this context [of everyone’s appointment with death], Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice. What the first, shadow-dispensation merely prophetically pointed to, he fulfilled once and for all, when he was presented as an offering, to take upon himself the sins of the entire human race! Now, with sin no longer on the agenda, he appears a second time, out of this death, to be clearly seen in everyone’s whole-hearted embrace of him as Savior!  MIRROR

HEB 12:24 Jesus is the spokesman and arbitrator of the New Testament order. His blood signature sanctions mankind’s innocence. This is a complete new language that communicates better things, in that it is the very substance of what was spoken in the shadow-type message of the blood sacrifice that Abel brought.  MIRROR

Acts 13:38-40  “So listen, friends! Through this Jesus, the forgiveness^[a] of sins is offered to you.

³⁹ Everyone who believes in him is set free from sin and guilt—something the law of Moses had no power to do.

⁴⁰ So be very careful that what the prophets warned about does not happen to you: TPT

Romans 4:25  Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins and was raised back to life to prove that he had made us right with God! TPT

Matthew 26:28 For this is the blood that seals the new covenant. It will be poured out for many for the complete forgiveness of sins. TPT

Acts 10:43 And not only us, but all of the prophets agree in their writings that everyone who believes in him receives complete forgivenessof sins through the power of his name.” TPT

Matthew 9:4-7 Jesus supernaturally perceived their thoughts, and said to them, “Why do you carry such evil in your hearts?

⁵ Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or, ‘Stand up and walk!’?

⁶ But now, to convince you that the Son of Man has been given authority to forgive sins, I say to this man, ‘Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk home.’ ”

⁷ Immediately the man sprang to his feet and left for home. TPT
