FLAMES OF FIRE 8-30-19 VIDEO DEEP THOUGHTS

We are supernatural flames of fire. Rekindled by the breath of God to move forward in the power of his word. The glory of the Lord looks like a consuming fire. Jesus looks like fire and we look like he does. We are filled with the glory of God. On the day of Pentecost we were immersed with tongues of fire. The church ministers are engulfed by fire. So we ministers burn with the same glory of God and the fire of his word.

Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the lampstands [One] like a Son of Man, clothed with a robe which reached to His feet and with a girdle of gold about His breast.

14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, [as white] as snow, and His eyes [flashed] like a flame of fire.

15 His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.

16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday. AMP

Rev 1:13 And in the center, the Son of Man, in a robe and gold breastplate,

14 hair a blizzard of white, Eyes pouring fire-blaze,

15 both feet furnace-fired bronze, His voice a cataract,

16 right hand holding the Seven Stars, His mouth a sharp-biting sword,

his face a perigee sun. MSG

Dan 10:6 His body also was [a golden luster] like beryl, his face had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and his feet like glowing burnished bronze, and the sound of his words was like the noise of a multitude [of people or the roaring of the sea]. AMP

Rev 2:18 And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, Who has eyes that flash like a flame of fire, and Whose feet glow like bright and burnished and white-hot bronze: AMP

John 1:14 And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.

Hebrews 4:12  For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, and it pierces more sharply than a two-edged sword. It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts.

¹³ There is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God, for nothing that we do remains a secret, and nothing created is concealed, but everything is exposed and defenseless before his eyes, to whom we must render an account. TPT

▼▼▼

Heb 4:12 The message God spoke to us in Christ, is the most life giving and dynamic influence in us, cutting like a surgeons scalpel, sharper than a soldiers sword, piercing the deepest core of human conscience, to the dividing of the soul and spirit; ending the dominance of the sense realm and it’s neutralizing affect upon the human spirit. In this way man spirit is free to become the ruling influence again in the thoughts and intentions of the heart. The scrutiny of his word detects every possible disease, discerning the bodies deepest secrets were the joint and bone marrow meet.

13 The entire person is thoroughly exposed to his scrutinizing gaze.  Every creature’s original form is on record in the word.  Mirror

Acts 2:1 On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled, all the disciples were gathered in one place.

² Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind rushing into the house from out of the heavenly realm. The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear!

³ Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes. It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them.

⁴ They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned! TPT

WIND-The Aramaic can also be translated “like the roar of a groaning spirit.” This mighty wind is for power; the breath of Jesus breathed into his disciples.

FIRE- This was the pillar of fire that led Israel from bondage into the promised land. The same pillar of fire manifested here to initiate a new beginning from dead religious structures into the powerful life of the Spirit. Each believer received an overpowering flame of fire, signified by the shaft of light that engulfed them. It was as though each one received his own personal pillar of fire that would empower him and lead him throughout his life. This was the promise Jesus gave to his disciples of “the one like me” who would be sent by the Father and never leave them. Today every believer is indwelt by the Spirit of Christ

FILLED-There are two Greek words used here for “filled.” In v. 2, it is pleroo, which means “filled inwardly.” it is pletho, which means “filled outwardly” or “furnished and equipped.” This was the anointing of the Spirit for ministry. Every believer needs the filling of the Spirit both inwardly for life and outwardly for ministry.

WE ARE SET RIGHT WITH GOD 8-25-19 VIDEO GRAHAM COOKE RIGHT2

Let the Scriptures become Rhema words to us. And inscribe them on our hearts so that when trials, hard times, bad circumstances come our way we will know that we have favor, divine approval, that we are set right with God. We are now and always will be victorious. God uses his Zoe life to show us that we are approved. He speaks and thinks favorably of us. He speaks that we are good just like he is good. He has a good opinion of us. God‘s approval is his favor. Our being set right makes us friends with God. It is a forever friendship with God.

Rom 5:9 Now that we are set right with God by means of this sacrificial death, the consummate blood sacrifice, there is no longer a question of being at odds with God in any way.

10 If, when we were at our worst, we were put on friendly terms with God by the sacrificial death of his Son, now that we’re at our best, just think of how our lives will expand and deepen by means of his resurrection life! MSG

▼▼▼

ROM 5:9 And there is still much more to say of his unfailing love for us! For through the blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are now righteous in my sight.” And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God.

¹⁰ So if while we were still enemies, God fully reconciled us to himself through the death of his Son, then something greater than friendship is ours. Now that we are at peace with God, and because we share in his resurrection life, how much more we will be rescued from sin’s dominion! TPT

Rom 4:5 But if you see that the job is too big for you, that it’s something only God can do, and you trust him to do it — you could never do it for yourself no matter how hard and long you worked — well, that trusting-him-to-do-it is what gets you set right with God, by God. Sheer gift. MSG

Gal 2:16 We know very well that we are not set right with God by rule-keeping but only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. How do we know? We tried it — and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen! Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement, we believed in Jesus as the Messiah so that we might be set right before God by trusting in the Messiah, not by trying to be good. MSG

▼▼▼

Gal 2:16 Yet we know that a man is justified or reckoned righteous and in right standing with God not by works of the Law, but [only] through faith and [absolute] reliance on and adherence to and trust in Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). [Therefore] even we [ourselves] have believed on Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the Law [for we cannot be justified by any observance of the ritual of the Law given by Moses], because by keeping legal rituals and by works no human being can ever be justified (declared righteous and put in right standing with God).   AMP

▼▼▼

Gal 2:16 As Jews we are the first to know that no one will achieve a blameless standing before God by personal performance according to the requirements of the law. What Jesus believes concerning our innocence matters most; he is persuaded that he did enough to declare man righteous. Our best intentions to do good cannot add any weight to our righteousness. Righteousness is not a reward for our good behavior. As Jewish believers we know this! We have no advantage over any other person. Jew and Gentile alike were equally guilty, now we are equally justified because of Jesus and for no other reason! Mirror

James 2:23 The full meaning of “believe” in the Scripture sentence, “Abraham believed God and was set right with God,” includes his action. It’s that mesh of believing and acting that got Abraham named “God’s friend.” MSG

Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. AMP

▼▼▼

Jer 29:11 I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out — plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. MSG

Rom 8:31 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]

32 He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?

33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]

34 Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?   AMP

▼▼▼

Romans 8:31 So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us?

³² For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give.

³³ Who then would dare to accuse those whom God has chosen in love to be his? God himself is the judge who has issued his final verdict over them—“Not guilty!”

³⁴ Who then is left to condemn us? Certainly not Jesus, the Anointed One! For he gave his life for us, and even more than that, he has conquered death and is now risen, exalted, and enthroned by God at his right hand. So how could he possibly condemn us since he is continually praying for our triumph? MSG

▼▼▼

Rom 8:31 All these things point to one conclusion, God is for us! Who can prevail against us?

32 The gift of his son is it irrefutable evidence of God‘s heart towards us. He held nothing in reserve; But freely and undeservedly gave us everything we could ever wish to have; this is what our joint sonship is all about.

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

34 What further ground can there possibly to condemn man? In his death he faced our judgment; in his resurrection he reveals our righteousness; the implications cannot be undone! He now occupies the highest seat of authority as the executor of our redemption in the throne room of God.  Mirror

20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God. AMP

▼▼▼

2 Corinthians 5:19  In other words, it was through the Anointed One that God was shepherding the world, not even keeping records of their transgressions, and he has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God.

²⁰ We are ambassadors of the Anointed One who carry the message of Christ to the world, as though God were tenderly pleading with them directly through our lips. So we tenderly plead with you on Christ’s behalf, “Turn back to God and be reconciled to him.”   TPT

John 15:15 I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out).

▼▼▼

John 15:15  I have never called you ‘servants, ’because a master doesn’t confide in his servants, and servants don’t always understand what the master is doing. But I call you my most intimate friends, for I reveal to you everything that I’ve heard from my Father. TPT

Ps 34:15 God keeps an eye on his friends, his ears pick up every moan and groan.   MSG

Proverbs 18:24  Some friendships don’t last for long, but there is one loving friend who is joined to your heart closer than any other! TPT

Luke 12:6 “What’s the price of two or three pet canaries? Some loose change, right? But God never overlooks a single one.

7 And he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail — even numbering the hairs on your head! So don’t be intimidated by all this bully talk. You’re worth more than a million canaries.   MSG

▼▼▼

Luke 12:6  “What is the value of your soul to God? Could your worth be defined by an amount of money? God doesn’t abandon or forget even the small sparrow he has made. How then could he forget or abandon you? What about the seemingly minor issues of your life? Do they matter to God? Of course they do! So you never need to worry, for you are more valuable to God than anything else in this world.

⁸ “I can assure you of this: If you don’t hold back, but freely declare in public that I am the Son of Man, the Messiah, I will freely declare to all the angels of God that you are mine. TPT

Ps 91:15 Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times; I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party.

16 I’ll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!”   MSG

Hebrews 13:5  Don’t be obsessed with money but live content with what you have, for you always have God’s presence. For hasn’t he promised you, “I will never leave you alone, never! And I will not loosen my grip on your life!”

⁶ So we can say with great confidence: “I know the Lord is for me and I will never be afraid of what people may do to me!” TPT

38 But the just shall live by faith [My righteous servant shall live by his conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, and holy fervor born of faith and conjoined with it]; and if he draws back and shrinks in fear, My soul has no delight or pleasure in him.

HAVING THE MIND OF CHRIST 8-16-19 VIDEO TODD WHITE MIND 2

It is not the brain but rather it is to have your spirit so in tune with the Lord that you understand what he means what he wants you to do. We think only of our brain when we think of our mind however if we are one with Christ we think out of our heart or out of his heart. Our minds have been renewed through Christ. Thoughts ideas opinions and beliefs about God and ourselves come from the mind of God. Our mind, thoughts are his thoughts. God thinks good things.

2 Corinthians 10:3 For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.

⁵ We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. TPT

IN THE SPIRIT 8-11-19 VIDEO It’s supernatural Dave Hernandez

We “the body” are going to grow in the Spirit.  Meaning that our revelation of the Holy Spirit and His leadership of the body of Christ will take on a new importance and meaning to the church. Being in the Spirit is moving in demonstrating the character of God. Jesus lived in the Spirit. The Spirit has been given to us without measure. We are in the Spirit without measure since the day of Pentecost. We are never alone and we are filled. The truth is the fullness of the Godhead dwells in us. Not a limited nor a lesser Holy Spirit than who Jesus had.  It’s the same Holy Spirit. The indwelling Holy Spirit shows us how to walk and move forward in the kingdom and make progress.

Rom 8:3 The law failed to be anything more than an instruction manual: it has no power to deliver man from the strong influence of sin holding us hostage in our own bodies. God disguised himself in his Son in this very domain where sin ruled man the human body. The flesh  body He live in and conquered and was no different than ours. Thus sins authority in the human body was condemned.

4 The righteousness promoted by the law is now realized in us. Practical day-to-day life bears witness to the Spirit’s inspiration and not the flesh domination.

5 Sins symptoms are sponsored by the senses a mind dominated by the sensual. Thoughts betray source; spirit life attracts spirit thoughts.

6 Thinking patterns are formed by reference, either the central appetites of the flesh and spiritual death, or Zoe life and total tranquility flowing from a mind addicted to spirit faith realities.

7 A mind focused on flesh, (the central dominion where sin held me captive) is distracted from God with no inclination to his life. Flesh self righteousness and spirit (faith righteousness) are opposing forces. Flesh no longer defines you faith does.

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

9 But you are not ruled by a flesh consciousness, law of works, but by his spirit consciousness, faith; God’s spirit is at home in you. Anyone who does not see himself fully clothed and identified in the spirit of Christ cannot be himself. If anyone does not embrace the spirit of Christ, he is not himself.

10 The revelation of Christ in you declares your body is as good as dead to sins 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

Romans 8:3 For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature. Yet God sent us his Son in human form to identify with human weakness. Clothed with humanity, God’s Son gave his body to be the sin-offering so that God could once and for all condemn the guilt and power of sin.

⁴ So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living his life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit

⁵ Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities.

⁶ For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

⁷ In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to his direction, because it cannot!

⁸ For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh.

⁹ But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him.

¹⁰ Now Christ lives his life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by God. TPT

Rom 8:26 So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.

27 And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will. AMP ▼▼▼

Romans 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.

6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.

IMPARTATION 8-2-19 VIDEO

Impart – to bestow upon, to give, to grant, to give a gift. The Father has imparted every good and perfect gift to us. He will never change His mind, or His character, He will always want us to have the gift of life and all that goes with it. Righteousness is imparted so no weapon can overtake us. The anointing has been imparted  (transferred) to us. Jesus had the anointing from the Father upon Him to fulfill His destiny.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse]. AMP
