ENCOUNTERING GOD 5-14-21  VIDEO LARRY

Encounter is to have a face-to-face meeting, to contact, to experience. The Bible is full of many places where God encountered mankind. One encounter with Him will change everything. God is not a God of the dead but a God of the living. During the time of Jesus‘ transfiguration they saw him as who he really was and how he really looks. Experience finding God when we seek God we encounter Him because He wants to be seen. When we encounter God we encounter love because God is love.

Ex 3:2 The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, yet was not consumed. 

3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned. 

4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I. 

5 God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground. 

6 Also He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.   AMP

ISA 6:1-3  In the year that King Uzziah died, I clearly saw the Lord. He was seated on his exalted throne, towering high above me. His long, flowing robe of splendor spread throughout the temple.

² Standing above him were the angels of flaming fire, each with six wings: with two wings they covered their faces in reverence, with two wings they covered their feet, and with two wings they flew.

ISA 6:5-8 Then I stammered and said, “Woe is me! I’m destroyed—doomed as a sinful man! For my words are tainted and I live among people who talk the same way. King Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies! My eyes have gazed upon him!”

⁶ Then out of the smoke, one of the angels of fire flew to me. He had in his hands a burning coal he had taken from the altar with tongs.

 ⁷ He touched my lips with it and said, “See? The burning coal from the altar has touched your lips. Your guilt is taken away; your sin is blotted out.”

⁸ Then I heard the Lord saying, “Whom should I send to my people? Who will go to represent us?” I spoke up and said, “I will be the one. Send me.” TPT

Gen 32:24 And Jacob was left alone, and a Man wrestled with him until daybreak. 

25 And when [the Man] saw that He did not prevail against [Jacob], He touched the hollow of his thigh; and Jacob’s thigh was put out of joint as he wrestled with Him. 

26 Then He said, Let Me go, for day is breaking. But [Jacob] said, I will not let You go unless You declare a blessing upon me. 

27 [The Man] asked him, What is your name? And [in shock of realization, whispering] he said, Jacob [supplanter, schemer, trickster, swindler]! 

28 And He said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob [supplanter], but Israel [contender with God]; for you have contended and have power with God and with men and have prevailed. 

29 Then Jacob asked Him, Tell me, I pray You, what [in contrast] is Your name? But He said, Why is it that you ask My name? And [the Angel of God declared] a blessing on [Jacob] there. 

30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel [the face of God], saying, For I have seen God face to face, and my life is spared and not snatched away.  AMP

MK 9:2-7 After six days, Jesus took Peter and the two brothers, Jacob and John, and hiked up a high mountain to be alone. And Jesus’ appearance was dramatically altered, for he was transfigured before their very eyes!

³ His clothing sparkled and became glistening white—whiter than any bleach in the world could make them.

⁴ Then suddenly, right in front of them, Moses and Elijah appeared, and they spoke with Jesus.

⁵ Peter blurted out, “Good Teacher, this is so amazing to see the three of you together! Why don’t we stay here and set up three shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah?”

⁶ (For all of the disciples were in total fear, and Peter didn’t have a clue what to say.)

⁷ Just then, a radiant cloud began to spread over them, enveloping them all. And God’s voice suddenly spoke from the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son and you need to always listen to him!” TPT

2 PET 1:16 We were not retelling some masterfully crafted legend when we informed you of the power and appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, for we saw his magnificence and splendor unveiled before our very eyes.

In gazing with wonder at the blueprint likeness of God displayed in human form, we suddenly realize that we are  looking at ourselves!  Every  feature of his image is mirrored in us!  This is the most radical transformation engineered by the Spirit of the Lord; we are led from an inferior mindset to the revealed endorsement of our authentic identity. You are his glory! MIRROR

ACTS 17:26-28 From one man, Adam, he made every man and woman and every race of humanity, and he spread us over all the earth. He sets the boundaries of people and nations, determining their appointed times in history.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE  5-9-29  VIDEO LOVE HOPE AND FAITH

What will it take for us to walk in our destiny? To receive our healing? For us to see the next generation of our family walking their inheritance. What will it take for us to get out of debt? What will it take for us to move in the power of the Holy Spirit? What will it take for us to see ourselves as God sees us? What will it take to be set free from all bondage?

1 COR 13:9 Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial,

¹⁰ but when love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away.

¹¹ When I was a child, I spoke about childish matters, for I saw things like a child and reasoned like a child. But the day came when I matured, and I set aside my childish ways.   TPT

RIGHTEOUSNESS  RO 1:17 Herein lies the secret of the power of the Gospel; there is no good news in it until the righteousness of God  is revealed! The dynamic of the gospel is the revelation of God’s faith as the only valid basis for our belief. The prophets wrote in advance about the fact that God believes that righteousness  reveals the life of our design. “Righteousness by his (God’s) faith defines life.” MIRROR

GAL 3:11 Habakkuk confirms conclusively that righteousness by God’s faith is the only basis to life; this terminates any possible justification before God based on moral behavior.  

12  Law and faith have nothing in common! Law measures man’s doing and experience as defining his life.  MIRROR

▼▼▼

Gal 3:11 The obvious impossibility of carrying out such a moral program should make it plain that no one can sustain a relationship with God that way. The person who lives in right relationship with God does it by embracing what God arranges for him. Doing things for God is the opposite of entering into what God does for you. Habakkuk had it right: “The person who believes God, is set right by God — and that’s the real life.”

12 Rule-keeping does not naturally evolve into living by faith, but only perpetuates itself in more and more rule-keeping, a fact observed in Scripture: ”  MSG

Rom 3:25 God sacrificed Jesus on the altar of the world to clear that world of sin. Having faith in him sets us in the clear. God decided on this course of action in full view of the public — to set the world in the clear with himself through the sacrifice of Jesus, finally taking care of the sins he had so patiently endured.

26 This is not only clear, but it’s now — this is current history! God sets things right. He also makes it possible for us to live in his rightness.

27 So where does that leave our proud Jewish insider claims and counterclaims? Canceled? Yes, canceled. What we’ve learned is this: God does not respond to what we do; we respond to what God does.

28 We’ve finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting him set the pace, not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade.  MSG

FAITH RO 4:16 The promise depends on faith so that it can be experienced as a grace-gift, and now it extends to all the descendants of Abraham. This promise is not only meant for those who obey the law, but also to those who enter into the faith of Abraham, the father of us all.  TPT

RO 4:20 While he had every reason to doubt the promise, he did not hesitate for a moment but instead empowered by faith confidence, he continued to communicate God’s opinion. 

21 Abraham’s confidence was his dress-code; he knew beyond doubt that the power of God to perform was equal to his promise. MIRROR

2 Cor 4:13 Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak,  AMP

2 Cor 5:7  For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.  AMP

HEB 11:1-3  Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.

² This testimony of faith is what previous generationswere commended for. ³ Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinatedby the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen. TPT

▼▼▼

HEB 11:1-3 Persuasion confirms confident expectation and proves the unseen world to be more real than the seen. Faith celebrates as certain what hope visualizes as future. 

2 People of previous generations received the testimony of their hope in faith. It was faith that made their hope tangible

3 Faith alone explains what is not apparent to the natural eye; how the ages were perfectly framed by the Word of God. Now we understand that everything visible has its origin in the invisible. MIRROR

10 By treasuring the Prophetic conclusion of my life you will remain constantly engulfed in my love even as I treasure the completeness of my Father‘s prophetic purpose and abide in his love embrace.  MIRROR

RO 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,

1 COR 13:4 Love is large in being passionate about life and relentlessly patient in bearing the offenses and injuries of others with kindness. Love is completely content and strives for nothing. Love has no desire to make others feel inferior and has no need to sing its own praises.

5 Love is predictable and does not behave out of character. Love is not ambitious. Love is not spiteful and gets no mileage out of another’s mistakes.  

6 Love sees no joy in injustice. Love’s delight is in everything that truth celebrates.

7 Love is a fortress where everyone feels protected rather than exposed! Love’s persuasion is persistent! Love believes. Love never loses hope and always remains constant in contradiction.

45 for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best — the sun to warm and the rain to nourish — to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty.

GOD REMBERS HIS PROMISES 5-2-21 VIDEO

THE POWER OF BLESSING  4-30-21  VIDEO BLESSED SPOKEN WORD

The blessings of God have the power to bring multiplication and increase into our destiny. The Lord wants us to walk in our destiny so we can demonstrate the kingdom by blessing others. God wants us to know the fullness of blessing in every area of our lives. Joseph even though he went through hard times remained blessed by God. The blessings of the Lord cause us to rise to the top, gives us divine appointments, and open doors. Blessings don’t come by saying the right prayer are going to the right church. It is a result of us aligning ourselves with God and his word. Jesus understood how blessings worked. What Jesus had, God multiplied and blessed.

Gen 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply in the earth.  AMP

14 You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

5 God’s blessing on your basket and bread bowl;

6 God’s blessing in your coming in, God’s blessing in your going out.

7 God will defeat your enemies who attack you. They’ll come at you on one road and run away on seven roads.

8 God will order a blessing on your barns and workplaces; he’ll bless you in the land that God, your God, is giving you.

9 God will form you as a people holy to him, just as he promised you, if you keep the commandments of God, your God, and live the way he has shown you.

10 All the peoples on Earth will see you living under the Name of God and hold you in respectful awe.

11 God will lavish you with good things: children from your womb, offspring from your animals, and crops from your land, the land that God promised your ancestors that he would give you.

12 God will throw open the doors of his sky vaults and pour rain on your land on schedule and bless the work you take in hand. You will lend to many nations but you yourself won’t have to take out a loan.

WISDOM by Mary Dorian  4-23-21

James 3:13 Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom.

14 But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth.

15 This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal).

16 For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices.

17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).

18 And the harvest of righteousness (of conformity to God’s will in thought and deed) is [the fruit of the seed] sown in peace by those who work for and make peace [in themselves and in others, that peace which means concord, agreement, and harmony between individuals, with undisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts].

James 3:13-18 Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here’s what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It’s the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts.

14 Mean-spirited ambition isn’t wisdom. Boasting that you are wise isn’t wisdom. Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn’t wisdom.

15 It’s the furthest thing from wisdom — it’s animal cunning, devilish conniving. 16 Whenever you’re trying to look better than others or get the better of others, things fall apart and everyone ends up at the others’ throats.

17 Real wisdom, God’s wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced.

18 You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor.  MSG

James 3:13-18 If you consider yourself to be wise and one who understands the ways of God, advertise it with a beautiful, fruitfullife guided by wisdom’s gentleness. Never brag or boast about what you’ve done and you’ll prove that you’re truly wise.

¹⁴ But if there is bitter jealousy or competition hiding in your heart, then don’t deny it and try to compensate for it by boasting and being phony.

¹⁵ For that has nothing to do with God’s heavenly wisdom but can best be described as the wisdom of this world, both selfishand devilish.

¹⁶ So wherever jealousyand selfishness are uncovered, you will also find many troublesand every kind of meanness.

¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is always pure, filled with peace, considerate and teachable  It is filled with loveand never displays prejudice or hypocrisy^[i] in any form

Romans 11:33-36 Who could ever wrap their minds around the riches of God, the depth of his wisdom, and the marvel of his perfect knowledge? Who could ever explain the wonder of his decisionsor search out the mysterious way he carries out his plans?

to advise him in his plans?

 1 Corth 1:20-25 So where is the wise philosopher who understands? Where is the expert scholar who comprehends? And where is the skilled debater of our time who could win a debate with God? Hasn’t God demonstrated that the wisdom of this world system is utter foolishness?

²¹ For in his wisdom, God designed that all the world’s wisdom would be insufficient to lead people to the discovery of himself. He took great delight in baffling the wisdom of the world by using the simplicity of preaching the story of the crossin order to save those who believe it.

²² For the Jews constantly demand to see miraculous signs, while those who are not Jewsconstantly cling to the world’s wisdom,

²³ but we preach the crucified Messiah. The Jews stumble over him and the rest of the world sees him as foolishness.

²⁴ But for those who have been chosen to follow him, both Jews and Greeks, he is God’s mighty power, God’s true wisdom, and our Messiah.

1 Corth 2:1-9  My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the secretsof God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom.

³ I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words.

⁴ The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the almighty power of God’s Holy Spirit.

Wisdom from God

⁶ However, there is a wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the spiritually mature. It’s wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned. ⁷ Instead, wecontinually speak of this wonderful wisdom that comes from God, hidden before now in a mystery.^[ It is his secret plan, destinedbefore the ages, to bring us into glory.

PRAYER WITH CONFIDENCE 4-16-21

When we pray we are supposed to expect an answer to our prayer. The Father wants to know he is answering and wants us to have joy. Do not just hope to receive believe you will. Praying in Jesus name means to pray with his character. In the old testament the word “names” means character, honor and authority to pray like Jesus prayed with the confidence that he was heard and of the results. He demonstrated God’s character. We actually pray with him. What is Jesus nature; loving, kind, righteous confidently determined. Jesus change the atmosphere of the temple. Jesus prayed with the Spirit and received everything he would ever need in this natural realm. This is what it means to have a life of prayer. Jesus had a lot alone time with the Father.

²⁰ But the truth is, Christ is risen from the dead, as the firstfruitof a great resurrection harvest of those who have died.

18 No resurrection implies no hope for anyone beyond the grave; it makes no difference whether you believed that you were included in Christ death or not.

19 If our hope in Christ was restricted to only benefit us in this life then imagine the severity of our disappointment if it all had to come to an abrupt end when we died.

20 However this very moment the risen Christ represents everyone who has ever died; exactly like the first fruit represents the complete harvest.

Ro 8:33-39. God has identified us, who can disqualify us? His word is our origin. No one can point a finger; he declared us innocent.

39 no dimension of any calculation in time or space, nor any device yet to be invented, has what it takes to separate us from the love of God demonstrated in Christ. The Lordship of Jesus Christ is our ultimate authority. Mirror
