ENDURANCE 12-10-17 VIDEO ENDURE TO THE END 2

Endurance in the face of overwhelming odds is possible because God is with us. He will never leave us or let us go. Endurance is the power to remain strong in hard times. It is to continue, like running a marathon, without stopping. Ability to resist trauma and fatigue.

1 Peter 4:12 Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job.

13 Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner. MSG

Gen 15:6 And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness (right standing with God).

STEADFAST-“stability” ENDURE – in the sense of “continue,” PERSEVERANCE-, be constantly diligent, attend (giveself) continually

↓

Heb 6:15 And so it was that he [Abraham], having waited long and endured patiently, realized and obtained [in the birth of Isaac as a pledge of what was to come] what God had promised him.

↓

Hebrews 6:12 In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith ( by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises.

Heb 10:35 Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward.

36 For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.

Rom 12:12 Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer.

Rom 15:4 For whatever was thus written in former days was written for our instruction, that by [our steadfast and patient] endurance and the encouragement [drawn] from the Scriptures we might hold fast to and cherish hope.

5 Now may the God Who gives the power of patient endurance (steadfastness) and Who supplies encouragement, grant you to live in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,

1 Cor 1:8 And He will establish you to the end [keep you steadfast, give you strength, and guarantee your vindication; He will be your warrant against all accusation or indictment so that you will be] guiltless and irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

2 Cor 1:21 But it is God Who confirms and makes us steadfast and establishes us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and has consecrated and anointed us [enduing us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit];

2 Tim 3:11 Persecutions, sufferings–such as occurred to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra, persecutions I endured, but out of them all the Lord delivered me proved and rejected as a counterfeit]. AMP

RACE Heb 12:1 THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, AMP

Heb 12:1 Do you see what this means — all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running — and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. MSG

1 Cor 9:24 You’ve all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win.

25 All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You’re after one that’s gold eternally.

26 I don’t know about you, but I’m running hard for the finish line. I’m giving it everything I’ve got. No sloppy living for me!

27 I’m staying alert and in top condition. I’m not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself. MSG

Gal 5:7 You were running the race nobly. Who has interfered in (hindered and stopped you from) your heeding and following the Truth?

8 This [evil] persuasion is not from Him Who called you [Who invited you to freedom in Christ]. AMP

↓↓↓

Gal 5:7-8 before you were let astray, you were so faithful to Messiah. Why have you now turned away from what is right and true? Who has deceived you. The one who unfolded you into his grace is not behind this false teaching that you’ve embraced not at all! Passion

1 Sam 14:6 And Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For there is nothing to prevent the Lord from saving by many or by few.

7 And his armor-bearer said to him, Do all that is in your mind; I am with you in whatever you think [best]. AMP

↓↓↓

1 Sam 14:6 Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come on now, let’s go across to these uncircumcised pagans. Maybe God will work for us. There’s no rule that says God can only deliver by using a big army. No one can stop God from saving when he sets his mind to it.”

7 His armor bearer said, “Go ahead. Do what you think best. I’m with you all the way.”   MSG

Isa 8:10 Plan and plot all you want — nothing will come of it. All your talk is mere talk, empty words, Because when all is said and done, the last word is Immanuel — God-With-Us. MSG

John 14:16 I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you.

17 This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can’t take him in because it doesn’t have eyes to see him, doesn’t know what to look for. But you know him already because he has been staying with you, and will even be in you!

18 “I will not leave you orphaned. I’m coming back.

19 In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you’re going to see me because I am alive and you’re about to come alive. MSG

Heb 13:5 Let your 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] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]

6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me? AMP

Luke 21:19 By your steadfastness and patient endurance you shall win the true life of your souls. AMP

Rom 5:3 There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us,

4 and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next.

5 In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary — we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit! MSG

2 Cor 6:4 But we commend ourselves in every way as [true] servants of God: through great endurance, in tribulation and suffering, in hardships and privations, in sore straits and calamities,

5 In beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless watching, hunger;

6 By innocence and purity, knowledge and spiritual insight, longsuffering and patience, kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in unfeigned love;

7 By [speaking] the word of truth, in the power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand [to attack] and for the left hand [to defend];

8 Amid honor and dishonor; in defaming and evil report and in praise and good report. [We are branded] as deceivers (impostors), and [yet vindicated as] truthful and honest.

9 [We are treated] as unknown and ignored [by the world], and [yet we are] well-known and recognized [by God and His people]; as dying, and yet here we are alive; as chastened by suffering and [yet] not killed;

10 As grieved and mourning, yet [we are] always rejoicing; as poor [ourselves, yet] bestowing riches on many; as having nothing, and [yet in reality] possessing all things. AMP

2 Cor 4:16-17 So no wonder we don’t give up. For even though our outward person gradually wears out, or inward being is renewed every single day. We view our slight short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as a substance that produces for us and eternal, weighty Glory far beyond all comparison, because we do not focus our attention on what is seen but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but unseen realm is eternal. Passion
Col 1:11 [We pray] that you may be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of His glory, [to exercise] every kind of endurance and patience (perseverance and forbearance) with joy,

Col 1:11 We pray that you’ll have the strength to stick it out over the long haul — not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into joy,

Rev 3:10 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. AMP

KNOWING INFORMATION WITHOUT EXPERENCE IS NOT TRUTH 12-3-17

VIDEO HELLO COULD I SPEAK TO GOD 2

Experience means the apprehension of something grabbing a hold of something, like an object, thought, or emotion for yourself. Something you participate in or live through. Paul wants to experience for himself the resurrection life. He has the knowledge of what Jesus did but he wants a personal experience. We can have knowledge of the Holy Spirit but we also have to have an encounter with him. David had knowledge of God but he desired to experience of him face to face. When people have an experience it is passed down and recorded it from generation to generation. God is waiting for all mankind to experience him for themselves. The father wants all of us to experience his glory as a part of our calling.

Heb 2:9 But we are able to see Jesus, Who was ranked lower than the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because of His having suffered death, in order that by the grace (unmerited favor) of God [to us sinners] He might experience death for every individual person. AMP

Isa 53:10 Still, it’s what God had in mind all along, to crush him with pain. The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin so that he’d see life come from it — life, life, and more life. And God’s plan will deeply prosper through him.

11 Out of that terrible travail of soul, he’ll see that it’s worth it and be glad he did it. Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many “righteous ones,” as he himself carries the burden of their sins.

12 Therefore I’ll reward him extravagantly — the best of everything, the highest honors — Because he looked death in the face and didn’t flinch, because he embraced the company of the lowest. He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many, he took up the cause of all the black sheep. MSG

THE NAME 11-10-2017 VIDEO

A good name is preferred over wealth in the Old and new Testament A name meant character authority and honor. The Father is in the Son and when we speak in Jesus name we are speaking as He did in all the truth and character and nature of the Father. It is us in him. The nature of a thing is in the name. Abram had a name change to Abraham and this is reality preceding the visible proof. Shakespeare was wrong when he said a rose by any other name would not smell as sweet. It’s the name in God’s sight that sets up the course for the future. God has shown himself and his actions by different names. Using the name of Jesus gives us access to nature and character of the One who has that name. We trust in the nature and character of Jesus our savior he trusted in the nature of his father.
