Heb 4:8 And so this is still a live promise. It wasn’t canceled at the time of Joshua; otherwise, God wouldn’t keep renewing the appointment for “today.”

10 God himself is at rest. And at the end of the journey we’ll surely rest with God. 11 So let’s keep at it and eventually arrive at the place of rest, not drop out through some sort of disobedience. MSG

▼▼▼

HEB 4:8 Now if this promise of “rest” was fulfilled when Joshua brought the people into the land, God wouldn’t have spoken later of another “rest” yet to come.

⁹ So we conclude that there is still a full and complete “rest” waiting for believers to experience.

¹⁰ As we enter into God’s faith-rest life we cease from our own works, just as God celebrates his finished works and rests in them.

¹¹ So then we must give our all and be eager to experience this faith-rest life, so that no one falls short by following the same pattern of doubt and unbelief. TPT

Isa 30:16 And you said, No! We will speed [our own course] on horses! Therefore you will speed [in flight from your enemies]! You said, We will ride upon swift steeds [doing our own way]! Therefore will they who pursue you be swift, [so swift that]

TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH 10-19-18

VIDEO SPOKEN WORD TRUTH 2

2000 years ago “the Truth” was put on trial. In a course of one day “Truth” stood before the high priest, the Sanhedrin and finally before Pilate. “The Truth” was lied about, abused, spat upon, and put to death on the cross. But nothing and no one could stop it! Jesus is “the Truth”. “The Truth” has a name, Jesus. So “The Truth” is not a bunch of ideas, it is a person. No one gets to the father without Truth.   The spirit of truth leads all man to him whose name is “the Truth“. Everything that is in the written word or the rhema word is truth because Jesus is Truth.

Everyone who is of the Truth [who is a friend of the Truth, who belongs to the Truth] hears and listens to My voice.

NO FEAR IN LOVE 1014-18 VIDEO LOVE VS FEAR 3

Fear has always been a stronghold of people. But God‘s love conquers fear, terror, and all oppression. Fear is a clear chain reaction in the brain that starts with stress and ends with release of chemicals that cause a racing heart. Fear is the result of perceived danger. Fear is agreeing with darkness.

Love is a top characteristic of God. The Bible says God is love. God has endowed us with the capacity for love.

1 John 4:16 And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him.

17 In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world. AMP

▼▼▼

1 JOHN 4:16 We have come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love he has for us. God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them.

¹⁷ By living in God, love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.  TPT

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].

19 We love Him, because He first loved us. AMP

▼▼▼

1 John 4:18 There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life — fear of death, fear of judgment — is one not yet fully formed in love.

19 We, though, are going to love — love and be loved. First we were loved, now we love. He loved us first. MSG PUNISHMENT-REJECTION

RO 8:35 Who could ever separate 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,

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

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

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

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

PS 23:1 The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough.
² He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace, the quiet brook of bliss.
³ That’s where he restores and revives my life He opens before me pathways to God’s pleasure and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name.
⁴ Lord, even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way. Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.
⁵ You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit; you give me all I can drink of you until my heart overflows.
⁶ So why would I fear the future? For your goodness and love pursue me all the days of my life. Then afterward, when my life is through, I’ll return to your glorious presence to be forever with you!
