2. GOD HELPS THOSES WHO HELP THEMSELVES

Ps 121:2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. AMP

Rom 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. MSG

4. YOU OWE ME FOR ALL I’VE DONE FOR YOU

Rom 4:2 If Abraham, by what he did for God, got God to approve him, he could certainly have taken credit for it. But the story we’re given is a God-story, not an Abraham-story.

3 What we read in Scripture is, “Abraham entered into what God was doing for him, and that was the turning point. He trusted God to set him right instead of trying to be right on his own.”

4 If you’re a hard worker and do a good job, you deserve your pay; we don’t call your wages a gift.

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

Colossians 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. TPT

6. GOD GIVES AND TAKES AWAY

Rom 11:29 For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.] AMP

29 My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all [else]; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand. AMP

7. DIVORCED? YOU ARE A SINNER

1 Peter 5:7 Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. AMP

Heb 5:7 In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father]. AMP

Isa 53:4 But the fact is, it was our pains he carried — our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us. We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures.

5 But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him — our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises we get healed. MSG

11. YOUR RELATIVE COMMITTED SUCIDE THEY ARE IN HELL

RO 8:38  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

Judg 16:30 And Samson cried, Let me die with the Philistines! And he bowed himself mightily, and the house fell upon the princes and upon all the people that were in it. So the dead whom he slew at his death were more than they whom he slew in his life. AMP

Heb 11:32 And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,   AMP

12. GOD WANTS YOU SO POOR SO YOU CAN LEARN HUMILITY

2 COR 8:9  For you have experienced the extravagant grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was infinitely rich, he impoverished himself for our sake, so that by his poverty, we could become rich beyond measure. TPT

13. SORRY YOUR PRAYER WASN’T LONG ENOUGH

John 11:41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42 Yes, I know You always hear and listen to Me, but I have said this on account of and for the benefit of the people standing around, so that they may believe that You did send Me [that You have made Me Your Messenger]. AMP

REAL VICTORIES 10-25-19 VIDEO TONY EVANS ARMOR

The Bible is filled with details of real victories. Circumstances that changed supernaturally only because the Lord intervened. Let us be like David and rehearse the victories. We do this we can expect the Lord to do the same thing in our lives now! Victory means to be victorious to conquer to overcome the enemy to vanquish a foe. For our nation read stories about George Washington Crossing the Delaware river, a great testimony.

George Washington told the army if you were not fighting—go to Divine Services implore blessings from heaven for our safety and defense.

1 Sam 17:33 Saul answered David, “You can’t go and fight this Philistine. You’re too young and inexperienced — and he’s been at this fighting business since before you were born.”

34 David said, “I’ve been a shepherd, tending sheep for my father. Whenever a lion or bear came and took a lamb from the flock,

35 I’d go after it, knock it down, and rescue the lamb. If it turned on me, I’d grab it by the throat, wring its neck, and kill it.

36 Lion or bear, it made no difference — I killed it. And I’ll do the same to this Philistine pig who is taunting the troops of God-Alive.

37 God, who delivered me from the teeth of the lion and the claws of the bear, will deliver me from this Philistine.” Saul said, “Go. And God help you!”   MSG

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 14:8 Jonathan said, We will pass over to these men and we will let them see us.

9 If they say to us, Wait until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.

10 But if they say, Come up to us, we will go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hand, and this will be our sign.

11 So both of them let the Philistine garrison see them. And the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves.

12 The garrison men said to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, Come up to us and we will show you a thing. Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has given them into Israel’s hand. AMP

1 Sam 14:14 And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made was about twenty men within about a half acre of land [which a yoke of oxen might plow].

15 And there was trembling and panic in the [Philistine] camp, in the field, and among all the men; the garrison, and even the raiders trembled; the earth quaked, and it became a terror from God. AMP

1 Sam 30:6 David was greatly distressed, for the men spoke of stoning him because the souls of them all were bitterly grieved, each man for his sons and daughters. But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

7 David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray you, bring me the ephod. And Abiathar brought him the ephod.

8 And David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them? The Lord answered him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all. AMP

Josh 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance upon their enemies. Is not this written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

14 There was no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man. For the Lord fought for Israel. AMP

Isa 30:18 And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!  

19 O people who dwell in Zion at Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. AMP   ▼▼▼

Isa 30:18 But God’s not finished. He’s waiting around to be gracious to you.

He’s gathering strength to show mercy to you. God takes the time to do everything right — everything. Those who wait around for him are the lucky ones.

19 Oh yes, people of Zion, citizens of Jerusalem, your time of tears is over. Cry for help and you’ll find it’s grace and more grace. The moment he hears, he’ll answer.

20 Just as the Master kept you alive during the hard times, he’ll keep your teacher alive and present among you. Your teacher will be right there, local and on the job, MSG

▼▼▼

ISA 30:18 For this reason the Lord is still waiting to show his favor to you so he can show you his marvelous love. He waits to be gracious to you. He sits on his throne ready to show mercy to you. For Yahweh is the Lord of justice, faithful to keep his promises. Overwhelmed with bliss are all who will entwine their hearts in him, waiting for him to help them.

19 Yes, the people of Zion who live in Jerusalem will weep no more. How compassionate he will be when he hears your cries for help! He will answer you when he hears your voice! TPT

ISA 59:16 And then he was astonished to see that there was no champion, not even one, who would rescue the oppressed. So then his own mighty power was released to deliver, and his own righteousness supported him. TPT

Matt 12:20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering (dimly burning) wick He will not quench, till He brings justice and a just cause to victory. AMP   ▼▼▼

MATT 12:20 He won’t brush aside the bruised and broken. He will be gentle with the weak and feeble, until his victory releases justice. TPT

ISA 25:8 It is the gloom of death He will swallow it up in victory forever And God, Lord Yahweh, will wipe away every tear from every face.  He will remove every trace of disgrace that his people have suffered throughout the world, for the Lord Yahweh has promised TPT

1 Cor 15:55 Who got the last word, oh, Death? Oh, Death, who’s afraid of you now?

56 It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power.

57 But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three — sin, guilt, death — are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God!

58 With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort. MSG

Celebrating the success of the cross

1 JN 5:4 You see, every child of God overcomes the world, for our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the world. TPT

HEB 11: 5 Faith lifted Enoch from this life and he was taken up into heaven! He never had to experience death; he just disappeared from this world because God promoted him. For before he was translated to the heavenly realm his life had become a pleasure to God.

⁶ And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking him.

⁷ Faith opened Noah’s heart to receive revelation and warnings from God about what was coming, even things that had never been seen. But he stepped out in reverent obedience to God and built an ark that would save him and his family. By his faith the world was condemned, but Noah received God’s gift of righteousness that comes by believing. Faith of the Patriarchs

⁸ Faith motivated Abraham to obey God’s call and leave the familiar to discover the territory he was destined to inherit from God. So he left with only a promise and without even knowing ahead of time where he was going, Abraham stepped out in faith.

⁹  He lived by faith as an immigrant in his promised land as though it belonged to someone else. He journeyed through the land living in tents with Isaac and Jacob who were persuaded that they were also co-heirs of the same promise.

¹⁰ His eyes of faith were set on the city with unshakable foundations, whose architect and builder is God himself.

¹¹ Sarah’s faith embraced the miracle power to conceive even though she was barren and was past the age of childbearing, for the authority of her faith rested in the One who made the promise, and she tapped into his faithfulness.TPT

HEB 11:17 Faith operated powerfully in Abraham for when he was put to the test he offered up Isaac. Even though he received God’s promises of descendants, he was willing to offer up his only son!

¹⁸ For God had promised, “Through your son Isaac your lineage will carry on your name.”

¹⁹ Abraham’s faith made it logical to him that God could raise Isaac from the dead, and symbolically, that’s exactly what happened.

²⁰ The power of faith prompted Isaac to impart a blessing to his sons, Jacob and Esau, concerning their prophetic destinies.

²¹ Jacob worshiped in faith’s reality at the end of his life, and leaning upon his staff he imparted a prophetic blessing upon each of Joseph’s sons.

²² Faith inspired Joseph and opened his eyes to see into the future, for as he was dying he prophesied about the exodus of Israel out of Egypt, and gave instructions that his bones were to be taken from Egypt with them.

²³ Faith prompted the parents of Moses at his birth to hide him for three months, because they realized their child was exceptional and they refused to be afraid of the king’s edict.

²⁴ Faith enabled Moses to choose God’s will, for although he was raised as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, he refused to make that his identity,

²⁵ choosing instead to suffer mistreatment with the people of God. Moses preferred faith’s certainty above the momentary enjoyment of sin’s pleasures. ²⁶ He found his true wealth in suffering abuse for being anointed, more than in anything the world could offer him, for his eyes looked with wonder not on the immediate, but on the ultimate—faith’s great reward!

²⁷ Holding faith’s promise Moses abandoned Egypt and had no fear of Pharaoh’s rage because he persisted in faith as if he had seen God who is unseen.

²⁸ Faith stirred Moses to perform the rite of Passover and sprinkle lamb’s blood, to prevent the destroyer from harming their firstborn.

²⁹ Faith opened the way for the Hebrews to cross the Red Sea as if on dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to cross they were swallowed up and drowned!

Jericho and Rahab

³⁰ Faith pulled down Jericho’s walls after the people marched around them for seven days!

³¹ Faith provided a way of escape for Rahab the prostitute, avoiding the destruction of the unbelievers, because she received the Hebrew spies in peace.

More Faith Champions

³² And what more could I say to convince you? For there is not enough time to tell you of the faith of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets.

³³ Through faith’s power they conquered kingdoms and established true justice. Their faith fastened onto their promises and pulled them into reality! It was faith that shut the mouth of lions, TPT

HEB 11:39 These were the true heroes, commended for their faith, yet they lived in hope without receiving the fullness of what was promised them.

⁴⁰ But now God has invited us to live in something better than what they had—faith’s fullness! This is so that they could be brought to finished perfection alongside of us. TPT

PHIL 4:1 My dear and precious friends, whom I deeply love, you have truly become my glorious joy and crown of reward. Now arise in the fullness of your union with our Lord. TPT immovable strong in the Lord

OVERCOMING AN OFFENCE 10-20-19 VIDEO FORGIVE YOURSELF 2

Being offended usually means that you assume certain motives of the part of the offender. Then you have a reaction to what happened as something that should have been prevented. It is the opposite of forgiveness. Being offended usually is a secret you hold in your heart against someone but pretend on the outside all is well. And the offence is a hindrance or a road to move forward. Offense leads to bitterness. Bitterness takes a root. And since branches feed from the root, every branch can be affected. It affects a person physically who has bitterness. It causes the heart to become hardened. Jesus called being offended desertion, falling away.

When someone is offended with you, they punish you, maybe ignoring you and not talking to you. It is impossible to love the Lord with your whole heart if

you are mad or offended with him. Jesus is called a rock of offense.

Those very people  who were upset and hated him could never receive from him or be set free in their lives. The woman who committed adultery. The Pharisees wanted to stone her. They were offended. Jesus being that rock of offense could have stoned her but he released her.

MARK 12:33  And there is something more important to God than all the sacrifices and burnt offerings: it’s the commandment to constantly love God with every passion of your heart, with your every thought, and with all your strength—and to love your neighbor in the same way as you love yourself.” TPT

41 Turn both your pockets and your hearts inside out and give generously to the poor; then your lives will be clean, not just your dishes and your hands.

16 There’s no comparison between that death-dealing sin and this generous, life-giving gift. The verdict on that one sin was the death sentence; the verdict on the many sins that followed was this wonderful life sentence.

17 If death got the upper hand through one man’s wrongdoing, can you imagine the breathtaking recovery life makes, sovereign life, in those who grasp with both hands this wildly extravagant life-gift, this grand setting-everything-right, that the one man Jesus Christ provides? MSG

▼▼▼

Rom 5:15 The only similarity in the comparison between the offence and the gift, is it both Adam and Christ represent the masses; they’re single accusation therefore bears global consequence. The idea of death and separation that was introduced by one man’s transgression is by far superseded by the Grace gift lavished upon mankind in the one man Jesus Christ.

16 The difference between two men is further emphasized in the judgment and condemnation followed by a single offense. Where as the free gift of acquittal and righteousness follows innumerable sins.

17 If spiritual death saw the gap in one sin, and grab the opportunity to dominate mankind because of one man, how much more may we now sees the advantage to reign in righteousness in this light through the one act of Christ, who declared his innocent by his Grace. Grace is out of all proportion in superiority to the transgression. Mirror

JN 8:3 Then in the middle of his teaching, the religious scholars and the Pharisees broke through the crowd and brought a woman who had been caught in the act of committing adultery and made her stand in the middle of everyone.

⁴ Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, we caught this woman in the very act of adultery.

⁵ Doesn’t Moses’ law command us to stone to death a woman like this? Tell us, what do you say we should do with her?”

⁶ They were only testing Jesus because they hoped to trap him with his own words and accuse him of breaking the laws of Moses. But Jesus didn’t answer them. Instead he simply bent down and wrote in the dust with his finger.

⁷ Angry, they kept insisting that he answer their question, so Jesus stood up and looked at them and said, “Let’s have the man who has never had a sinful desire throw the first stone at her.”

⁸ And then he bent over again and wrote some more words in the dust.

⁹ Upon hearing that, her accusers slowly left the crowd one at a time, beginning with the oldest to the youngest, with a convicted conscience.

¹⁰ Until finally, Jesus was left alone with the woman still standing there in front of him. So he stood back up and said to her, “Dear woman, where are your accusers? Is there no one here to condemn you?”

¹¹ Looking around, she replied, “I see no one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Then I certainly don’t condemn you either. Go, and from now on, be free from a life of sin. TPT

A GRATEFUL HEART 10-18-19 VIDEO AFRICAN PRAISE

As we consider different weapons to use in the spirit against the enemy, let’s consider gratitude. A powerful weapon in times of overwhelming circumstances. Gratitude means thanks and appreciation. It’s a feeling you get when you recognize someone who is been so good to you. It’s not in difference but it spontaneously emerges from within. It is also a choice. Gratitude means to open your mouth and give thanks. We know that this is the new year and time to open up your mouth. So that your mouth is filled with thanksgiving. We give thanks from a grateful heart.

OUR POWER IS THE MANIFEST PRESENCE OF GOD 10-13-19 VIDEO

On Pentecost those waiting were filled with power. They were filled with the manifest presence of God. He came upon them and filed them and never left them. There’s a difference between God being everywhere and God‘s manifest presence being upon us. The result of the manifest presence of God in the lives of the disciples was the power to turn the whole world upside down. Manifest presence of God in his presence is where he reveals himself as one with the personality and feelings. Gods manifest power reveals God to us in a tangible way. Jesus was the manifest presence of God during his ministry on earth. When God manifest his presence he reveals his glory. He doesn’t just want us to know about him but to experience him. His manifest presence changes us. It changes our motives. When we meet with God something changes in us.

Paul saw Jesus on the Damascus Road it was forever changed. And yet he still pressed in for more of the manifest presence of God. It leaves you hungry for more it gives you the power to change circumstances. The manifest presence of God in the Old Testament kind of came and went. When the Holy Spirit was given he became the manifest power of God in us. Because he is God. And he remains with us forever. The manifest presence of God the power of the Holy Spirit is for us and for our children.

Gen 41:25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, The [two] dreams are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears [of grain] are seven years; the [two] dreams are one [in their meaning].

27 And the seven thin and ill favored cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears [of grain], blighted and shriveled by the east wind; they are seven years of hunger and famine.

28 This is the message just as I have told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

29 Take note! Seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.

30 Then there will come seven years of hunger and famine, and [there will be so much want that] all the great abundance of the previous years will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and hunger (destitution, starvation) will exhaust (consume, finish) the land.

31 And the plenty will become quite unknown in the land because of that following famine, for it will be very woefully severe.

32 That the dream was sent twice to Pharaoh and in two forms indicates that this thing which God will very soon bring to pass is fully prepared and established by God.

33 So now let Pharaoh seek out and provide a man discreet, understanding, proficient, and wise and set him over the land of Egypt [as governor].

34 Let Pharaoh do this; then let him select and appoint officers over the land, and take one-fifth [of the produce] of the [whole] land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years [year by year].

35 And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and lay up grain under the direction and authority of Pharaoh, and let them retain food [in fortified granaries] in the cities.

36 And that food shall be put in store for the country against the seven years of hunger and famine that are to come upon the land of Egypt, so that the land may not be ruined and cut off by the famine.

37 And the plan seemed good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.

38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find this man’s equal, a man in whom is the spirit of God?

39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch as [your] God has shown you all this, there is nobody as intelligent and discreet and understanding and wise as you are.

40 You shall have charge over my house, and all my people shall be governed according to your word [with reverence, submission, and obedience]. Only in matters of the throne will I be greater than you are.   AMP

Acts 11:25  Barnabas left for Tarsus to find Saul and bring him back to Antioch. ²⁶ Together Saul and Barnabas ministered there for a full year, equipping the growing church and teaching the vast number of new converts. It was in Antioch that the followers of Jesus were first revealed as “anointed ones.”

²⁷ At that time there were prophets in the church of Jerusalem, and some of them came to Antioch.

²⁸ One of them, named Agabus, stood up in one of the meetings and prophesied by the Holy Spirit that a severe famine was about to come over Israel. (This prophecy was fulfilled during the reign of Claudius Caesar.)

²⁹ So they determined that each believer, according to his or her ability, would give an offering to send as relief to the brothers living in Judea.

BE JESUS HERE AS THOUGH YOU WERE HIM 10-4-19

In the midst of all that is going on in our nation, the body of Christ, and in the world, the best we can be these days is to be imitators of Christ. Imitate means to follow to behave like someone to have the same behavior. When Jesus called the disciples to follow him he did not mean they were to go where he went but called them to be like him in the world. The government or the kingdom that Jesus invited us to was to have authority over storms. Everyone is welcome to answer the call and be an imitator of Jesus. The big difference in following doctrines of men and imitating Jesus is a difference between religion and relationship we are not imitators of the world but imitators of Jesus.

Eph 5:1 THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].

2 And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. AMP

▼▼▼

Eph 5:1 Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents.

2 Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that. MSG

▼▼▼

EPH 5:1 Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters. TPT

▼▼▼

Eph 5:1 Mirror God; you are his offspring.

2 This is how; let the love of Christ be your life; remember how he abandoned himself to us. His love is contagious, not reluctant but extravagant. Sacrificial love pleases God like the sweet aroma of worship. Mirror

Col 2:18 Let no one defraud you by acting as an umpire and declaring you unworthy and disqualifying you for the prize, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on visions [he claims] he has seen, vainly puffed up by his sensuous notions and inflated by his unspiritual thoughts and fleshly conceit,

19 And not holding fast to the Head, from Whom the entire body, supplied and knit together by means of its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

20 If then you have died with Christ to material ways of looking at things and have escaped from the world’s crude and elemental notions and teachings of externalism, why do you live as if you still belong to the world? [Why do you submit to rules and regulations? — such as]

21 Do not handle [this], Do not taste [that], Do not even touch [them],

22 Referring to things all of which perish with being used. To do this is to follow human precepts and doctrines.

23 Such [practices] have indeed the outward appearance [that popularly passes] for wisdom, in promoting self-imposed rigor of devotion and delight in self-humiliation and severity of discipline of the body, but they are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh (the lower nature). [Instead, they do not honor God but serve only to indulge the flesh.] AMP

▼▼▼

COL 2:18  Don’t let anyone disqualify you from your prize! Don’t let their pretended sincerity fool you as they deliberately lead you into their initiation of angel worship. For they take pleasure in pretending to be experts of something they know nothing about. Their reasoning is meaningless and comes only from their own opinions.

¹⁹ They refuse to take hold of the true source. But we receive directly from him, and his life supplies vitality into every part of his body through the joining ligaments connecting us all as one. He is the divine Head who guides his body and causes it to grow by the supernatural power of God.

²⁰ For you were included in the death of Christ and have died with him to the religious system and powers of this world. Don’t retreat back to being bullied by the standards and opinions of religion—

²¹ for example, their strict requirements, “You can’t associate with that person!” or, “Don’t eat that!” or, “You can’t touch that!”

²² These are the doctrines of men and corrupt customs that are worthless to help you spiritually.

²³ For though they may appear to possess the promise of wisdom in their submission to God through the deprivation of their physical bodies, it is actually nothing more than empty rules rooted in religious rituals! TPT

▼▼▼

Col 2:18 So do not let anyone who tries to act as an umpire for your devotion insist on his own opinion, confined to a mind inflated by the sensational and spooky; his so-called visions are just a puff of hot air.

19 Such Religious jargon is completely out of rhythm with the head. You are directly connected to Christ was like a choir conductor draws out the music and everyone like a tapestry of art that intertwines in harmony to reveal the full stature of the divine inspiration.

20 If It is true that you were included in Christ death, then the religious system of this world with its rules and regulations no longer apply to you. What further relevance would there be for you to continue to live under the influence of man’s doctrines and ideas?

21 Things like; “do not associate with this one!” or  “do not taste that!” And  “do not even touch this with your finger!“

22 These instructions are of no permanent value in any case since they refer to things at perish after it it’s consume, thus they leave no lasting impact on your life. So do not let man’s menus Cause you to major on minors.

23. Religious tradition appears to be very devout and its followers seem to be so humble and holy in their strict observance of rules that seek to control the behavior of the body. The only problem with this is it the flesh is never permanently satisfied. Mirror
