11 Who ever knows what you’re thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God – except that he not only knows what he’s thinking,
12 but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us.
13 We don’t have to rely on the world’s guesses and opinions. We didn’t learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we’re passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way. MSG

1 COR 2:10 These profound mysteries of God’s eternal resolve are now unveiled in us; nothing is hidden from Holy Spirit, who explores the innermost thoughts of God.
11 Just as a person’s spirit knows their own thoughts beyond the public eye, even so the Spirit of God is our faith decoder to access the thoughts of God.
12 The Spirit proceeding from God unveils the gifts of his generosity. He has graced us with understanding so that we may know what he has always had in mind for us; this is so unlike the secular spirit of the wisdom of the world where everything has a price tag! our sanity, our health, our joy, our peace, our innocence and our complete well-being!
13 The impact of our words are not confined to the familiar wisdom of the world taught by human experience and tradition, but communicated by seamless spirit resonance, combining spirit with spirit. MIRROR

1 COR 6 17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is mingled into one spirit with him. TPT “to knit or weld together,” “to mingle,” or “to join together,” and “to make two into one.”

1 COR 2:15 Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God’s Spirit is doing, and can’t be judged by unspiritual critics. MSG

JN 14:17 Your eternal companion is the Spirit of truth, whom those trapped in the sense-ruled world, just cannot get to grips with! Their visual horizon is veiled, and they are unable to understand what they cannot see. But, you are familiar with this seamless, intimate union, and the Spirit’s continued presence within you. MIRROR

ROM 8:9 But you are not ruled by a flesh-consciousness, (law of works), but by a spirit-consciousness, God’s Spirit is at home in you. Anyone who does not see themselves fully clothed and identified in the Spirit of Christ, cannot be themselves.
10 The revelation of Christ in you declares that your body is as good as dead to sin’s demands; sin cannot find any expression in a corpse. You co-died together with him. Yet your spirit is alive because of what righteousness reveals. MIRROR
2 COR 3:17 They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it! MSG

ISA 61:1 The mighty Spirit of Lord Yahweh is wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me, as a messenger to preach good news to the poor. He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,” and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.”
2 I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow,
3 to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion—to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. Because of this, they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory. TPT

EPH 1:13 It’s in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free – signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit.
14 This signet from God is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life. MSG

JN 16:13 But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won’t draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said.
14 He will honor me; he will take from me and deliver it to you. MSG

GAL 4:6 To seal our sonship God has commissioned the Spirit of sonship to resonate the Abba echo in our hearts; and now, in our innermost being we recognize him as our true and very dear Father. MIRROR

1 PET 4:14 If you’re abused because of Christ, count yourself fortunate. It’s the Spirit of God and his glory in you that brought you to the notice of others. MSG

ROM 8:26 And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.
27 God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny. TPT

ZECH 4:6 “This is God’s Message to Zerubbabel: ‘You can’t force these things. They only come about through my Spirit,’ says God-of-the-Angel-Armies. MSG

ROM 8:16 Holy Spirit personally entwines our spirit; resonating ceaselessly within, endorsing Abba’s parenthood. MIRROR

JN 6:63 It is the Spirit that quickens the poetry of life – the flesh (muscle and willpower) is useless without the spirit. The words that I speak unto you they are spirit and life!

BEING A PRISONER OF HOPE 1-2-26 VIDEO DUMBER HOPE
Don’t let go of your in Christ. Though it may be unseen yet it represents your future. Don’t let time cause you not to hope. God‘s always on time. Hope is rooted and God‘s faithfulness and his good plans for people’s futures. Any place we have no hope is being influenced by a lie. God has given us hope no matter what things may look like.

CELEBRATION OF CHRIST BIRTH by Mary 12-21-25

Celebration of Christ birth. BY Mary Dorian 12-21-25
Nothing has been able to stop the celebration of Christmas or the Peace that was freely given to the world
Luke 2:1 This was the first census when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Everyone had to travel to his own ancestral hometown to be accounted for.
4 So Joseph went from the Galilean town of Nazareth up to Bethlehem in Judah, David’s town, for the census. As a descendant of David, he had to go there.
5 He went with Mary, his fiancé, who was pregnant.
6 While they were there, the time came for her to give birth.
7 She gave birth to a son, her firstborn. She wrapped him in a blanket and laid him in a manger, because there was no room in the hostel.
8 There were sheepherders camping in the neighborhood. They had set night watches over their sheep.
9 Suddenly, God’s angel stood among them and God’s glory blazed around them. They were terrified.

11 A Savior has just been born in David’s town, a Savior who is Messiah and Master.
12 This is what you’re to look for: a baby wrapped in a blanket and lying in a manger.”
13 At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God’s praises:
14 Glory to God in the heavenly heights, Peace to all men and women on earth who please him.
15 As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the sheepherders talked it over. “Let’s get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us.”

Luke 2:25 In Jerusalem at the time, there was a man, Simeon by name, a good man, a man who lived in the prayerful expectancy of help for Israel. And the Holy Spirit was on him.

27 Led by the Spirit, he entered the Temple. As the parents of the child Jesus brought him in to carry out the rituals of the Law,
28 Simeon took him into his arms and blessed God:

OPEN YOUR HEART AND RECEIVE FROM GOD

OPEN YOUR HEARTS AND RECEIVE FROM GOD 12-14-25 video RECEIVE LOVE
Receive in the Bible means to embrace all the spiritual truth that the Father is offering to us. Especially His eternal love and grace. Impartation of the divine, is the power to forgive sins.

Receive so as to manifest outwardly what is been given inwardly. Receive an active taking a hold of, to seize what has been for the given.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? 12-07-25 VIDEO WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST 2
The number one problem for many people in the church is not knowing their identity in Christ. Let’s start at the beginning. Satan knew Eve was already made to be like God when he tempted her. The devil tried to tempt Jesus asking him if he really is the son of God. Jesus knew who he was. He restored immediately mankind‘s identity and purpose. You are already a new creation. You have purpose.
GEN 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make a man and a woman in our image to be like us. Let them reign over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the livestock, over the creatures that creep along the ground, and over the wild animals.”
27 So God created man and woman and shaped them with his image inside them. In his own beautiful image, he created his masterpiece. Yes, male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them in his love, saying, “Reproduce and be fruitful! Populate the earth and subdue it! Reign over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every creature that lives on earth.” TPT

LUKE 4:1 And Jesus, fully infused and prompted by Holy Spirit, intentionally turns back, away from the river Jordan into the wilderness and embarks on a forty day fast in order to victoriously face the same diabolic scrutiny that snared humanity in Adam and Eve, and later dramatically displayed in Israel’s forty year detour in the wilderness of their unbelief.
2 When the forty days were concluded, he felt famished, having not taken anything to eat at all.
3 The Devil had an immediate suggestion, “If you really are the son of God, then prove it and do your magic! Tell this stone to become a loaf of bread!”
4 And Jesus answered, “It is written that man shall not live on bread alone.”
5 He then showed him all the kingdom’s of the inhabited world in a split second.
6 And said to him, I will give you the glory and control of all these kingdoms since it was handed over to me and I can do with it whatever I please!
7 It’s all yours if you worship me.
8 Jesus responded with, “Get out of my face Satan! Scripture says, you shall worship the Lord your God with undivided adoration.”
9 Then he led him to Jerusalem and brought him to the wing of the temple and challenged him to cast himself down, if he really is the son of God.
10 It is written, he says, that God would command his celestial messengers to protect you from any harm.
11 They would bear you up on their hands and protect you so that you will not even stumble over a stone.
12 Again, Jesus quoted Deuteronomy and said, you shall not put the Lord your God to the test. Testing is not trusting.
13 This concluded the devil’s scrutiny and he departed until an opportune time. MIRROR

2 COR 5:14 The love of Christ constrains us and resonates within us; leaving us with only one conclusion: when Jesus died, every individual simultaneously died. In God’s logic, one has died for all, thus all have died.
15 Now if all were included in his death they were equally included in his resurrection. This unveiling of his love redefines human life! Whatever reference we could have of ourselves outside of our association with Christ is no longer relevant.
16 Therefore, from now on, I no longer know anyone according to the flesh! I no longer see people from a human point of view! This is a radical and most defining moment! No label that could possibly previously identify someone carries any further significance! Even our pet doctrines of Christ are redefined. Whatever we knew about him historically or sentimentally is challenged by this conclusion.
17 Now, in the light of your co-inclusion in his death and resurrection, whoever you thought you were before, in Christ you are a brand new person! The old ways of seeing yourself and everyone else are over. Acquaint yourself with the new! MIRROR

2 COR 5:21 He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]. AMP

ROM 6:6 Could it be any clearer? Our old way of life was nailed to the Cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life – no longer at sin’s every beck and call! What we believe is this:
7 -8 If we get included in Christ’s sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection.
9 We know that when Jesus was raised from the dead it was a signal of the end of death-as-the-end. Never again will death have the last word.
10 When Jesus died, he took sin down with him, but alive he brings God down to us.

11 Words like Jewish and non-Jewish, religious and irreligious, insider and outsider, uncivilized and uncouth, slave and free, mean nothing. From now on everyone is defined by Christ, everyone is included in Christ. MSG

GAL 2:20 My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!
21 So that is why I don’t view God’s grace as something peripheral. For if keeping the law could release God’s righteousness to us, then Christ would have died for nothing.

COL 3:17 Let every detail in your lives – words, actions, whatever – be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way. MSG

EPH 1:5 Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!)
6 He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
7 Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people – free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free!
8 He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need,
9 letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ,
10 a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.
11 It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, MSG

EPH 2:10 We are engineered by his design; he molded and manufactured us in Christ. We are his workmanship, his poetry. We are fully fit to do good, equipped to give attractive evidence of his likeness in us in everything we do. MIRROR

JN 1:12 Everyone who realizes their association in him, convinced that he is their original life and that his name defines them, God gives the assurance that they are indeed his offspring, begotten of him; he sanctions the legitimacy of their sonship. MIRROR

1 PET 2:9 You are proof of the authentic generation; you give testimony to the original idea of the royalty of true priesthood you are a perfect prototype of the mass of the human race. You are the generation of people who exhibit the conclusion of the prophetic, poetic thought of God that has come full circle. You publish the excellence of his elevation and display that your authentic identity has been rescued out of obscurity and brought into his spectacular light! MIRROR

GAL 3:25 But now you have arrived at your destination:
26 By faith in Christ you are in direct relationship with God.
27 Your baptism in Christ was not just washing you up for a fresh start. It also involved dressing you in an adult faith wardrobe – Christ’s life, the fulfillment of God’s original promise. MSG

1 COR 6:19 Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary.
20 You were God’s expensive purchase, paid for with tears of blood, so by all means, then, use your body to bring glory to God! TPT

COL 3:3 Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life – even though invisible to spectators – is with Christ in God. He is your life.
4 When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you’ll show up, too – the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ. MSG

ISA 43:4 Since you are cherished and precious in my eyes, and because I love you dearly and want to honor you, I willingly give up nations in exchange for you—a man to save your life. TPT

1 JN 3:1 What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it – we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to.
2 But friends, that’s exactly who we are: children of God. And that’s only the beginning. Who knows how we’ll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him – and in seeing him, become like him. MSG

ROM 8:28 That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.
29 God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him.
30 After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun. MSG

ROM 3:24 God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. MSG

REV 1: 6 Who made us a Kingdom, Priests for his Father, forever – and yes, he’s on his way! MSG

SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN 12-5-25

HEALING THE INCURRABLE by Mary Dorian 12-6-25
1Peter 2:24 He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. Mess

Romans 6: 10-11 When Jesus died, he took sin down with him, but alive he brings God down to us.
11 From now on, think of it this way: Sin speaks a dead language that means nothing to you; God speaks your mother tongue, and you hang on every word. You are dead to sin and alive to God. That’s what Jesus did. Mess

John 1:1-5 The Word was first, the Word present to God, God present to the Word. The Word was God,
2 in readiness for God from day one.
3 Everything was created through him; nothing – not one thing! – came into being without him.
4 What came into existence was Life, and the Life was Light to live by.
5 The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out. /Mess

John 1:1 To go back to the very beginning, is to find the Word already present there; 4face to face with God. The one mirrors the other! The Word is I am; God’s eloquence echoes and concludes in him. The Word equals God.
2 The beginning mirrors the Word face to face with God.
3 The Logos is the source; everything commences in him. He remains the exclusive Parent reference to their existence. There is nothing original, except the Word! The Logic of God defines the only possible place where mankind can trace their origin.
4 His life is the light that defines our lives.
5 The darkness was pierced and could not comprehend or diminish this light. Mirror

2 Corinthians 5:17 Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it!
18 All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other.
19 God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing.
20 We’re Christ’s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God’s work of making things right between them. We’re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you.

Romans 12:1- So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. mess

Romans 6:11-14 From now on, think of it this way: Sin speaks a dead language that means nothing to you; God speaks your mother tongue, and you hang on every word. You are dead to sin and alive to God. That’s what Jesus did.
12 That means you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. Don’t give it the time of day.
13 Don’t even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life. Throw yourselves wholeheartedly and full-time – remember, you’ve been raised from the dead! – into God’s way of doing things.
14 Sin can’t tell you how to live. After all, you’re not living under that old tyranny any longer. You’re living in the freedom of God. Mess

Luke 6:45 The [intrinsically] good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart; and the [intrinsically] evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil [in his heart]; for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart. Amp

SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN 12-5-25

SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN 12-5-25 VIDEO
Jesus said, to his followers these words “speak to the mountain“. He showed them that they had authority over all things in their lives through prayer.
The most powerful phenomenon on earth is the power of the spoken Word. Jesus transferred authority to mankind our God gave the authority. The power of words in our mouth in prayer and authority brings about results. What seems to be impossible becomes possible for us because we have authority in our prayer to change things.
MK 11:22-25 Jesus was matter-of-fact: “Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it,
23 and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, ‘Go jump in the lake’ – no shuffling or shilly-shallying – and it’s as good as done.
24 That’s why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you’ll get God’s everything. MSG

DEU 32:1 Listen, Heavens, I have something to tell you. Attention, Earth, I’ve got a mouth full of words.
2 My teaching, let it fall like a gentle rain, my words arrive like morning dew, Like a sprinkling rain on new grass, like spring showers on the garden.
3 For it’s God’s Name I’m preaching – respond to the greatness of our God! MSG

ROM 8:19 The created world itself can hardly wait for what’s coming next.
20 Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in
21 until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be released at the same moment into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile, the joyful anticipation deepens.
22 All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it’s not only around us; it’s within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We’re also feeling the birth pangs. MSG

LU 10:19 I have given you authority to trample upon serpents and scorpions and every powerful symbolic disguize of the enemy. Nothing shall by any means nullify your authentic identity! Your likeness is secured in me! MIRROR

1 JN 4:4 My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world. MSG

COL 2:13 This “realm of death” describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp. But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive and forgiven of all our sins!
14 He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—he deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto his cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation.
15 Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his! TPT

COL 2:13 When you were stuck in your old sin-dead life, you were incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive – right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven,
14 the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant canceled and nailed to Christ’s Cross.
15 He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets. MSG

EPH 6:12-18 This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.
13 Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet.
14 Truth, righteousness,
15 peace,
16 faith,
17 and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon.
18 In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out. MSG

JN 8:31-32 Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. “If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure.

LU 6:46 “Why are you so polite with me, always saying ‘Yes, sir,’ and ‘That’s right, sir,’ but never doing a thing I tell you?
47 These words I speak to you are not mere additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundation words, words to build a life on.
48 “If you work the words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who dug deep and laid the foundation of his house on bedrock. When the river burst its banks and crashed against the house, nothing could shake it; it was built to last.
49 But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a dumb carpenter who built a house but skipped the foundation. When the swollen river came crashing in, it collapsed like a house of cards. It was a total loss.” MSG

1 TIM 2:1-3 The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

Jer 1:9 GOD reached out, touched my mouth, and said, “Look! I’ve just put my words in your mouth — hand-delivered!
