2022 THE YEAR TO WALK IN RIGHTEOUSNESS  12-31-21 

VIDEO righteousness by Dan Mohler 2 

2022 is the year that those who are believers in Christ will walk in completely and actively in His righteousness. We can’t just say yes I am righteous. But we must now walk in righteousness and move forward and make progress. Righteousness is so important to the Father that He was and is willing to spare a city for the sake of the righteous.

Gen 18:32 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again only this once. Suppose ten [righteous people] shall be found there. And [the Lord] said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.  AMP

Ps 32:11  Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you [uncompromisingly] righteous [you who are upright and in right standing with Him]; shout for joy, all you upright in heart! AMP

Ps 34:17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles. AMP

Ps 37:25 I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the [uncompromisingly] righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread. AMP

▼▼▼

PS 37:25 I was once inexperienced, but now I’m old. Not once have I found a lover of God forsaken by him, nor have any of their children gone hungry. TPT

PRO 11:10 The blessing that rests on the righteous releases strength and favor to the entire city, but shouts of joy will be heard when the wicked one dies. TPT

MATT 10:41 Whoever receives a prophet because he is God’s messengerwill share a prophet’s reward. And whoever welcomes a righteous person because he follows mewill also share in his reward. TPT

ROM 3:26 All along God refused to let go of mankind. At this very moment God’s act of righteousness is pointing them to the evidence of their innocence, with Jesus as the fountainhead of faith.  MIRROR

ROM 5:1 The conclusion is clear: our blameless innocence has absolutely nothing to do with something we did to qualify ourselves; it is what happened to us, solely because of our Lord Jesus Christ’s doing. Faith, and not reward, is the only valid basis for righteousness! Let us now fully engage this seamless union in our face to face friendship with God!  MIRROR

ROM 8:30 Having determined our destiny ahead of time, he called us to himself and transferred his perfect righteousness to everyone he called. And those who possess his perfect righteousness he co-glorified with his Son. TPT

ROM 10:10  This is where believing happens spontaneously, in the heart! The revelation of mankind’s redeemed righteousness ignites a new conversation, announcing salvation.

11 Scripture declares that, whosoever believes in Christ will not be ashamed.   MIRROR

ROM 1:17 This gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe. And it moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith. This is what the Scripture means when it says: “We are right with God through life-giving faith!”  TPT

▼▼▼

ROM 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

PHIL 3:9 My passion is to be consumed with him and not cling to my own “righteousness” based in keeping the written Law. My only “righteousness” will be his, based on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ—the very righteousness that comes from God.  TPT

ROM 3:21 But now, independently of the law, the righteousness of God is tangible and brought to light through Jesus, the Anointed One.

22 This is the righteousness that the Scriptures prophesied would come. It is God’s righteousness made visible through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And now all who believe in him receive that gift. For there is really no difference between us,

²³ for we all have sinned and are in need of the glory of God.

²⁴ Yet through his powerful declaration of acquittal, God freely gives away his righteousness. His giftof love and favor now cascades over us, all because Jesus, the Anointed One, has liberated us from the guilt, punishment, and power of sin!

²⁵ Jesus’ God-given destinywas to be the sacrifice to take away sins, and now he is our mercy seatbecause of his death on the cross. We come to him for mercy, for God has made a provision for us to be forgiven by faith in the sacred blood of Jesus. This is the perfect demonstration of God’s justice, because until now, he had been so patient—holding back his justice out of his tolerance for us. So he covered overthe sins of those who lived prior to Jesus’ sacrifice.  TPT

▼▼▼

ROM 3:21 We are now talking a completely different language: the gospel unveils what God did right not what we did wrong! Both the law and all the prophetic writings pointed to this moment!

22 Jesus is what God believes about you! In him the righteousness of God is on display in such a way that everyone may be equally persuaded about what God believes about them, regardless of who they are; there is no distinction.

23 Mankind is in the same boat; their distorted behavior is proof of a lost blueprint.

24 While the law proved mankind’s dilemma, the grace of God announces the same mankind’s redemption in Jesus Christ! Their blameless innocence is a free gift! The gift-principle puts the idea of reward out of business! There is no exception – this belongs to every single person, Jew and Gentile alike!  Mankind’s righteousness is now redeemed. Jesus Christ is proof of God’s grace gift; he redeemed the glory of God in human life; mankind condemned in the language of religion, is now mankind justified in the language of the gospel!

25 Jesus exhibits God’s mercy. In his blood conciliation God’s faith persuades mankind of his righteousness and the fact that he has brought closure to the historic record of their sins.   MIRROR

ROM 4:3 Listen to what the Scriptures say: Because Abraham believed God’s words, his faith transferred God’s righteousness into his account. TPT

▼▼▼

ROM 4:3 Scripture is clear, “Abraham believed what God believed about him and that concluded his righteousness.” MIRROR

ROM 4:13 God promised Abraham and his descendants that they would have an heir who would reign over the world. This royal promise was not fulfilled because Abraham kept all the law, but through the righteousness that was transferred by faith.  TPT  ▼▼▼

Rom 4:13 For the promise to Abraham or his posterity, that he should inherit the world, did not come through [observing the commands of] the Law but through the righteousness of faith.  AMP

JAMES 2:23 So in this way the Scripture was fulfilled: Because Abraham believed God, his faith was exchanged for God’s righteousness. So he became known as the lover of God! TPT

ROM 6:18 And now you celebrate your freedom from your former master—sin. You’ve left its bondage, and now God’s perfect righteousness holds power over you as his loving servants. TPT

▼▼▼

ROM 6:18 Sin once called the shots; now righteousness rules. MIRROR

EPH 4:24 And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with him! For God has re-created you all over again in his perfect righteousness, and you now belong to him in the realm of true holiness.  TPT

HEB 1:8 But when he addresses the Son he says, “Your throne, Oh God, extends to the ages of the ages. The scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.   MIRROR

SPIRITUAL HUNGER BY MARY DORIAN 12-26-21

JOHN 6:35 Jesus said, I am the bread of life! He that comes face to face with me shall never hunger and he who finds his faith resting in me shall never thirst!  Mirror

John 4:10 He looked her in the eye and said, “If you could see the generosity of God’s grace gift, you would perceive who I am!  So here I am asking you for a drink when you should be asking me and I would give you the water of life for free!

 11 Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep! How would you reach this living water?

12 Whoever you are, you are certainly not greater than our father Jacob who left us this well and its legacy as our inheritance? He bought this land and dug the well; he drank from it himself and it sustained his family and their livestock for centuries. How can you compete with that?

13 Jesus answered her, “This well cannot quench the thirst that I am talking about. Anyone drinking from it will thirst again!”

14 Whoever drinks from the source of this water that I shall give will never thirst again; because the water that I give becomes an artesian well bursting from within, 1defining the life of the ages!   Mirror

Isa 55: 1-3 Pay attention and come closer to me, and hear, that your total being may flourish. I will enter into an everlasting covenant with you, and I will show you the same faithful love that I showed David.

⁵ Look! You will summon nations you’ve never heard of. Nations who have never heard of you will come running to follow you because Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, has glorified you! TPT

Isa 55:1 “Hey there! All who are thirsty, come to the water! Are you penniless? Come anyway — buy and eat! Come, buy your drinks, buy wine and milk. Buy without money — everything’s free!

2 Why do you spend your money on junk food, your hard-earned cash on cotton candy?

Listen to me, listen well: Eat only the best, fill yourself with only the finest.

3 Pay attention, come close now, listen carefully to my life-giving, life-nourishing words.

I’m making a lasting covenant commitment with you, the same that I made with David: sure, solid, enduring love.  MSG

Ps 34:10  The young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on the authority of His Word], none of them shall lack any beneficial thing.  AMP

Ps 42:1-5  long to drink of you, O God, to drink deeply from the streams of pleasure flowing from your presence.  My longings overwhelm me for more of you!
² My soul thirsts, pants, and longs for the living God. I want to come and see the face of God.
³ Day and night my tears keep falling and my heart keeps crying for your help, while my enemies mock me over and over, saying, “Where is this God of yours? Why doesn’t he help you?”
⁴ So I speak over my heartbroken soul, “Take courage. Remember when you used to be
  right out front leading the procession of praise when the great crowd of worshipers gathered to go into the presence of the Lord? You shouted with joy as the sound of passionate celebration filled the air and the joyous multitude of lovers honored the feast of the Lord!”
⁵ So then, my soul, why would you be depressed? Why would you sink into despair?
Just keep hoping and waiting on God, your Savior. For no matter what, I will still sing with praise, for you are my saving grace! TPT

Ps 42:1  A white-tailed deer drinks from the creek; I want to drink God, deep draughts of God.

2 I’m thirsty for God-alive. I wonder, “Will I ever make it —  arrive and drink in God’s presence?”

3 I’m on a diet of tears — tears for breakfast, tears for supper. All day long people knock at my door, Pestering, “Where is this God of yours?”

4 These are the things I go over and over, emptying out the pockets of my life. I was always at the head of the worshiping crowd, right out in front, Leading them all, eager to arrive and worship, Shouting praises, singing thanksgiving — celebrating, all of us, God’s feast!

5 Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God — soon I’ll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God. MSG

Ps 63:1 God — you’re my God! I can’t get enough of you! I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God, traveling across dry and weary deserts.

2 So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory.

3 In your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praises like fountains.

4 I bless you every time I take a breath; My arms wave like banners of praise to you.

5 I eat my fill of prime rib and gravy; I smack my lips. It’s time to shout praises!

6 If I’m sleepless at midnight, I spend the hours in grateful reflection.

7 Because you’ve always stood up for me, I’m free to run and play.

8 I hold on to you for dear life, and you hold me steady as a post. MSG

Phil 3:7 The sum total of my religious pedigree and sincere devotion amounts to zero! What we have been gifted with in Christ has reduced what once seemed so important, to meaningless information. To esteem the law is to your loss! Faith is your profit.

8 In fact, I have come to the conclusion that every association I have had with that which defined me before as a devout Jew, is by far eclipsed by what I have gained in knowing the Messiah. Jesus Christ and his masterful redemption define me now. Religion is like dog pooh; and it stinks, avoid stepping in it!

9 So here I am; found in Christ! I was looking in the wrong place all along! My own duty-and-guilt-driven religious endeavor snared me in the cul-de-sac maize of self-righteousness, sponsored by the law of works! The faith of Christ reveals my identity; righteousness defines who God believes that I really am. This righteousness is sourced in God and endorses the authority of faith.

10 Oh to comprehend the dynamic of his resurrection! His resurrection is evidence of our righteousness! In the revelation of God’s economy of inclusion, I actually co-suffered with him and co-died together with Christ!  

11 When confronted with death, I actually come face to face with my own resurrection!

12 To know even as I have always been known!   Mirror

John 7:37 This made them even more determined to seize him yet no one was able to touch him since his hour had not yet come.

31 Many in the crowds believed on him and reasoned that no Christ still to come could possibly begin to match the miracles which he already performed.

32 The Pharisees were extremely worried when they realized his popularity amongst the people, so with the support of their chief priests they ordered the temple police to arrest him.

33 Jesus then said to them, “I will only briefly remain with you where you can see me, then I will be on my way again, sinking out of sight, to be face to face with my Sender.

34 You will search for me but not find me and where I am your religion cannot take you.”

35 The Jews couldn’t imagine where he would go where they wouldn’t find him. Maybe he would join the dispersed Jews and go teach the Gentiles.

36 What would he mean by saying that we would seek him and not find him and “where I am you are powerless?”

37 On the final day, the crescendo of the eight-day Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus, knowing that he is the completeness of every prophetic picture and promise, cried out with a loud voice, If anyone is thirsty, let him come and stand 1face-to-face with me and drink!  Mirror

Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the Bride beckons, “Come!” And let everyone in whom this bold bidding resonates, extend the same urgent invitation, “Oh yes, come!” This is for the thirsty to come and quench their deepest longings by freely drinking from the water of life! 

REV 22:20 The One, responding to the bidding of the Bride on a disillusioned mankind’s behalf, says yes! I am the evidence of your return! Without any delay! “Oh, you’re so welcome Lord Jesus!”, says the Bride! I can’t wait to embrace you home, my Lord and my God!

Starting as a baby, fully man, now king forever. Even pilot knew he was a king.

ISA 9:6  A child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. The responsibility of complete dominionwill rest on his shoulders, and his name will be: The Wonderful One! The Extraordinary Strategist! The Mighty God! The Father of Eternity! The Princeof Peace!
⁷ Great and vast is his dominion. He will bring immeasurable peace and prosperity. He will rule on David’s throne and over David’s kingdom to establish and uphold it by promoting justice and righteousness from this time forward and forevermore. The marvelous passionthat the Lord Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, has for his people will ensure that it is finished! TPT

“the God of battle” or “Champion-God.” PRINCE “to wrestle, to fight” and another verb meaning “to rule or to govern (as royalty).”

LUKE 2:9 Then suddenly a celestial messenger of the Lord stood by them and the light of the glory of the Lord engulfed them. They were petrified.

10 The celestial messenger immediately calmed them and said, “You have no reason to fear! Listen! I have the most wonderful announcement to make – this will lead to the great encounter of the most joyful bliss for every single person on the planet!

11 For your Savior was born this day in the city of David, the Messiah, the Master.

12 This is how you will know it’s him, you’ll find a little baby, wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a feeding-trough!

13 The next moment, a heavenly host of multitudes of celestial messengers joined and erupted in accolades of praise telling the God-story!

14 God’s highest and grandest intention in the heavens is dove-tailed upon earth in unbroken, incarnate oneness; in being human, he exibits his delight in mankind!

15 Then, as the celestial heralds withdrew into the heavens, the shepherds immediately determined to go to Bethlehem and witness with their own eyes, the prophetic word which has now come to pass, as they have learned from the Lord.

16 They departed with great urgency and searched until they found the trophy – Mary and Joseph with their little baby, who was lying in a feeding-trough.

17 Having now seen for themselves, they boldly shared the significance of their encounter and how the prophetic word was communicated to them concerning this child.  

18 Everyone who heard their story, was filled with wonder!

19 Mary treasured all these sayings, pondering them in her heart; and so forming, as in a mental mosaic, her picture of the Christ, who was to be.  MIRROR

Eph 2:4  Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love,

5 he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us!

6 Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.

7 Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.

8 Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish!

9 We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing!

10 No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing. MSG

▼▼▼

EPH 2:4 None of this could distract from the extravagant love of God; he continued to love us with the exact same intensity.

5 This is how grace rescued us: while we were yet in that state of deadness and indifference in our deviations, we were co-quickened together with Christ! We had nothing to do with it. Grace freed us, once and for all from the lies that we believed about ourselves under the performance-driven system, and now defines our authentic identity!

6 We are co-included in his resurrection. We are also co-elevated in his ascension to be equally present in the throne room of the heavenly realm where we are co-seated with him in his executive authority. We are fully represented in Christ Jesus.

7  Imagine how God is now able for timeless perpetuity to exhibit the trophy of the wealth of his grace demonstrated in his kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. Grace exhibits excessive evidence of the success of the cross.

8 Your salvation is not a reward for good behavior! It was a grace thing from start to finish; you had no hand in it. Even the gift to believe simply reflects his faith!

9 If this could be accomplished through any action of yours then there would be ground for boasting.

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

15 He’ll show up right on time, his arrival guaranteed by the Blessed and Undisputed Ruler, High King, High God.

16 He’s the only one death can’t touch, his light so bright no one can get close. He’s never been seen by human eyes — human eyes can’t take him in! Honor to him, and eternal rule! Oh, yes.

17 Tell those rich in this world’s wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money, which is here today and gone tomorrow. Tell them to go after God, who piles on all the riches we could ever manage —  

18 to do good, to be rich in helping others, to be extravagantly generous.

19 If they do that, they’ll build a treasury that will last, gaining life that is truly life.

20 And oh, my dear Timothy, guard the treasure you were given! Guard it with your life. Avoid the talk-show religion and the practiced confusion of the so-called experts.

21 People caught up in a lot of talk can miss the whole point of faith. Overwhelming grace keep you! MSG

¹⁵ Yes, God will make his appearing in his own divine timing, for he is the exalted God, the only powerful One, the King over every king, and the Lord of power!

16 He alone is the immortal God, living in the unapproachable light of divine glory! No one has ever seen his fullness, nor can they, for all the glory and endless authority of the universe belongs to him, forever and ever. Amen!

¹⁷ To all the rich of this world, I command you not to be wrapped in thoughts of pride over your prosperity, or rely on your wealth, for your riches are unreliable and nothing compared to the living God. Trust instead in the one who lavishes upon us all good things, fulfilling our every need.

¹⁸ Remind the wealthy to be rich in remarkable works of extravagant generosity, willing to share with others.

19 These spiritual investments will provide a beautiful foundation for their lives and secure for them a great future, as they lay their hands upon the meaning of true life.

²⁰ So, my son Timothy, don’t forget all that has been deposited within you. Escape from the empty echoes of menand the perversion of twisted reasoning.

²¹ For those who claim to possess this so-called knowledge have already wandered from the true faith. May God’s grace empower you always! Love in Christ, Paul TPT

WE ARE IN A SPECIAL SEASON  12-19-21  VIDEO SKIT GUYS  3

The season we are in is not of heaviness, sadness or fear but of comfort joy and hope. Christmas is the season of expectation for good, not for evil. Don’t let anyone hinder or discourage you from your celebration. Joy is a calm delight inner gladness, happiness, to rejoice because of grace. Fresh hope means to desire with anticipation for good as something wonderful to happen.

ISA 35:1 The wilderness and dry land will be joyously glad! The desert will blossom like a rose and rejoice!2 Every dry and barren place will burst forth with abundant blossoms, dancing and spinning with delight! Lebanon’s lush splendor covers it, the magnificent beauty of Carmel and Sharon. My people will see the awesome glory of Yahweh, the beautiful grandeur of our God.

⁴ Say to the anxious and fearful, “Be strong and never afraid. Look, here comes your God!He is breaking through to give you victory! He comes to avenge your enemies With divine retribution he comes to save you!”
5 Then blind eyes will open and deaf ears will hear.
⁶ Then the lame will leaplike playful deerand the tongue-tied will sing songs of triumph. Gushing water will spring up in the wilderness and streams will flow through the desert.
⁷ The burning sand will become a refreshing oasis, the parched ground bubbling springs,and the dragon’s air a meadow with grass, reeds, and papyrus.
⁸ There will be a highway of holiness called the Sacred Way. The impure will not be permitted on this road, but it will be accessible to God’s people. And not even fools will lose their way.
⁹ The lionwill not be found there; no wild beast will travel on it— they will not be found there. But the redeemed will find a pathway on it.

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.4 They will restore ruins from long ago and rebuild what was long devastated. They will renew ruined cities and desolations of past generations.
⁵ Foreigners will be appointed to shepherd your many flocks; strangers will cultivate your fields and tend your vines.

⁶ But you will be known as Priests of Yahweh,  and called Servants of our God. You will feast on the wealth of nations and revelin their riches!
⁷ Because you received a double dose of shame and dishonor, you will inherit a double portion of endless joy and everlasting bliss! TPT

Beauty” is phe’er, and the word for “ashes” is epher—simply the moving of one letter. God has the power to change and move things around in our lives to make them into something beautiful.

2 Cor 1:3 All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel!

4 He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us.

5 We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort — we get a full measure of that, too. MSG  ▼▼▼

2 COR 1:3 All praises belong to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he is the Father of tender mercy and the God of endless comfort.

⁴ He always comes alongside us to comfort us in every suffering so that we can come alongside those who are in any painful trial. We can bring them this same comfort that God has poured out upon us.

⁵ And just as we experience the abundance of Christ’s own sufferings, even more of God’s comfort will cascade upon us through our union with Christ. TPT

1 THESS 5:1 I do not need to speculate about specific prophetic moments or even mention significant dates.  

2 You know for yourselves from experience how the day of the Lord suddenly dawns like a thief in the night!  

3 The systems of this world of darkness and unbelief, which held the masses under their pseudo-sway of make-belief peace and security shall suddenly be broken into, like travail upon a woman with child, and none of their captives shall remain under their claim! 

4 You are no longer in darkness; there are no daunting surprises waiting for you like a thief in the night!

5 All of you are begotten of light, the Day of the Lord is your true parent! Neither night nor darkness have any claim on you!

6 Live alert and you will not become intoxicated by the indifference of others.

7 Sleeping and drunkenness are typical things people do at night, but now the day of the Lord has dawned within us and has put an end to the slumbering effect and intoxication of the practices of darkness.

8 So let us clothe ourselves with day-garments, protecting our sober seeing by having our hearts fully guarded by the breastplate of love-inspired faith, and having our minds encircled, like a helmet, with an expectation which is consistent with what salvation declares!

9 For God did not set us up for disappointment; he is not teasing us with desires that we desperately reach for but cannot attain! He has brought us to a place where we are surrounded by the poetry of what salvation communicates in the lordship of Jesus Christ.   MIRROR

ROM 8:24 For this is the hope of our salvation. But hope means that we must trust and wait for what is still unseen. For why would we need to hope for something we already have?

HEB 6:18 So it is impossible for God to lie for we know that his promise and his vow will never change! And now we have run into his heart to hide ourselves in his faithfulness. This is where we find his strength and comfort, for he empowers us to seize what has already been established ahead of time—an unshakable hope!

¹⁹ We have this certain hope like a strong, unbreakable anchor holding our souls to God himself. Our anchor of hope is fastened to the mercy seatin the heavenly realm beyond the sacred threshold,

20 and where Jesus, our forerunner, has gone in before us. He is now and forever our royal Priest like Melchizedek. TPT

DOMINION 12-12-21 VIDEO HOW TO USE OUR AUTHORITY 2

Dominion is to rule or to have power over. It means to govern to be responsible for. We the body of Christ have the right to govern over the earth. It’s a level of authority that God has given us. To be responsible for mankind and for each other in a loving caring way. The government of earth is in heaven. The government is like it is in heaven manifest here on the earth. Jesus was given dominion and He passed this rule and rein onto the church. We are free from the dominion of sin, free from the dominion of darkness. The enemies that Jesus defeated were sin, sickness, and death. Those (not people) were the true enemies. Jesus conquered them so we can forever rule and reign over them. The scribe and the Pharisees set a man made seat of authority but we rule and are heirs with Christ by a heavenly authority.

Gen 1:26 God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. 

27 So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. 

28 And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.  AMP

▼▼▼

Gen 1:26  God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them

reflecting our nature So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, And, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.”

27 God created human beings; he created them godlike, Reflecting God’s nature.

He created them male and female.

28 God blessed them: “Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge! Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth.”  MSG

Luke 11:2 And He said to them, When you pray, say: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come. Your will be done [held holy and revered] on earth as it is in heaven. AMP

Luke 10:17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!

18 And He said to them, I saw Satan falling like a lightning [flash] from heaven.

19 Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you. 

20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven.  [AMP

LUKE 10:17 The seventy-two returned with much excitement and exclaimed, “Lord! Even the demons were subject to us at the mention of your Name!”

18 Jesus responded, “I often contemplate the extent of Satan’s demise, having fallen from the heavens like the flash of a shooting star!”

19  See, 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!

Eph 1:20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],

22 And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church], 

23 Which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].  AMP

EPH 1:20 Do you want to measure the mind and muscle of God? Consider the force which he unleashed in Jesus Christ when he raised him from the dead and forever seated him enthroned as his executive authority in the realm of the heavens. Jesus is God’s right hand of power! He was raised up from the deepest dungeons of human despair to the highest region of heavenly bliss!  

21 Infinitely above all the combined forces of rule, authority, dominion or governments; he is ranked superior to any name that could ever be given to anyone of this age or any age still to come in the eternal future.

22 I want you to see this: he subjected all these powers under his feet. He towers head and shoulders above everything. He is the head;

23 the Ekklesia is his body. The completeness of his being that fills all in all resides in us! God cannot make himself more visible or exhibit himself more accurately.  MIRROR

Rom 5:16 Nor is the free gift at all to be compared to the effect of that one [man’s] sin. For the sentence [following the trespass] of one [man] brought condemnation, whereas the free gift [following] many transgressions brings justification (an act of righteousness).

17 For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).  AMP

▼▼▼

ROM 5:16 The principle of the gift speaks a different language and brings a radically different equation to the table. Whereas a single sin resulted in a judgment that concluded in condemnation; grace translates countless deviations into acquittal and innocence.

17 Death no longer has the final say. Life rules! If the effect of one man’s crash-landing engaged mankind in a death-dominated lifestyle how much more advantaged is the very same mankind now that they are the recipients of the boundless reservoirs of grace, empowering them to enjoy the dominion of life through the gift of righteousness because of that one man, Jesus Christ. Grace is out of all proportion in superiority to the transgression.   MIRROR

TRYING TO BELIEVE AND BEING A BELIEVER 12-10-21 VIDEO

A believer is someone who has confidence in the truth or the existence of someone or some thing that they haven’t seen with their own eyes. Faith is not intellectual it’s spiritual. Trying to believe it’s very different from believing. Repeating words like I am healed over and over again will never take place of believing in your heart. God acts out of His heart. Believing a simple trusting in God. The Pharisees believe in signs but did not believe in Jesus. Peter had to come to the realization of who Jesus was.

JAMES 2:19 You can believe all you want that there is one true God, that’s wonderful! But even the demons know this and tremble with fear before him, yet they’re unchanged—they remain demons.  TPT

JOHN 20:24 But Thomas, the Twin, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples told him that they have seen the Lord. But his response was, “I will never believe it unless I see his nail pierced hands and thrust my finger into the wounds and also my hand into his side.”

26 The next Sunday evening, Jesus again just showed up in their midst even though all the doors were locked and greeted them with, “Peace be unto you!” This time Thomas was with them.

27 Jesus immediately turned to Thomas and said to him, “Give me your finger and touch my hands so you that can see for yourself; and give me your hand and thrust it into my side! Replace your skepticism with persuasion!”

28 Without hesitation Thomas responded to Jesus with, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Jesus said to him, “You believe because you saw with your own eyes; blessed are those who believe even though they do not see!”

30 The disciples of Jesus witnessed many more signs than the ones recorded in this book.

2 Chron 16:9 God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to him. You were foolish to go for human help when you could have had God’s help. Now you’re in trouble — one round of war after another.”  MSG

Gen 22:2  He said, “Take your dear son Isaac whom you love and go to the land of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I’ll point out to you.”   MSG

Gen 22:5 Abraham told his two young servants, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I are going over there to worship; then we’ll come back to you.”   MSG

Gen 22:7 Isaac said to Abraham his father, “Father?” “Yes, my son.” “We have flint and wood, but where’s the sheep for the burnt offering?”

8 Abraham said, “Son, God will see to it that there’s a sheep for the burnt offering.” And they kept on walking together.

9 They arrived at the place to which God had directed him. Abraham built an altar. He laid out the wood. Then he tied up Isaac and laid him on the wood.

10 Abraham reached out and took the knife to kill his son.

11 Just then an angel of God called to him out of Heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes, I’m listening.”

12 “Don’t lay a hand on that boy! Don’t touch him! Now I know how fearlessly you fear God; you didn’t hesitate to place your son, your dear son, on the altar for me.”

13 Abraham looked up. He saw a ram caught by its horns in the thicket. Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 Abraham named that place God-Yireh (God-Sees-to-It). That’s where we get the saying, “On the mountain of God, he sees to it.”  MSG

Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. KJV

HEB 11:18 Yet Abraham knew that God had said that his lineage of faith would be traced through Isaac!

19 He made a prophetic calculation by faith to which there could only be one logical conclusion based on the word he had received: that God would raise the promise from the dead. MIRROR

▼▼▼

HEB 11:8  By faith Abraham acknowledged the call of God which gave him his identity and destiny, as evidence of his inheritance as he journeyed into the unknown.  

9 Nothing but his faith seemed permanent while Abraham camped in tents like a stranger in the land of promise. His sons Isaac and Jacob joined him as sojourners; equally persuaded that they were heirs of the same promise.

10 His faith saw a city with permanent foundations, designed and constructed by God.

11 Sarah’s testimony of faith is just as amazing: she conceived and bore a child when it was humanly impossible. She believed that God would be faithful to his promise, and gave that belief authority over her life.  

12 Faith brought into reality an offspring beyond calculation; from one as good as dead children would be born more numerous than the stars and as impossible to count as the grains of sand on every distant sea shore. MIRROR

ROM 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.

¹⁷ That’s what the Scripture means when it says: “I have made you the father of many nations.” He is our example and father, for in God’s presence he believed that God can raise the dead and call into being things that don’t even exist yet.

18 Against all odds, when it looked hopeless, Abraham believed the promise and expected God to fulfill it. He took God at his word, and as a result he became the father of many nations. God’s declaration over him came to pass: “Your descendants will be so many that they will be impossible to count!”

¹⁹ In spite of being nearly one hundred years old when the promise of having a son was made, his faith was so strong that it could not be undermined by the fact that he and Sarahwere incapable of conceiving a child.

^20–21 He never stopped believing God’s promise, for he was made strong in his faithto father a child. And because he was mighty in faith and convinced that God had all the power needed to fulfill his promises, Abraham glorified God!  TPT

MATT 6:25  “This is why I tell you to never be worried about your life, for all that you need will be provided, such as food, water, clothing—everything your body needs. Isn’t there more to your life than a meal? Isn’t your body more than clothing?

²⁶ “Consider the birds—do you think they worry about their existence? They don’t plant or reap or store up food, yet your heavenly Father provides them each with food. Aren’t you much more valuable to your Father than they?

²⁷ So, which one of you by worrying could add anything to your life?

²⁸ “And why would you worry about your clothing? Look at all the beautiful flowers of the field. They don’t work or toil,

²⁹ and yet not even Solomon in all his splendor was robed in beauty like one of these! ³⁰ So if God has clothed the meadow with hay, which is here for such a short time and then dried up and burned, won’t he provide for you the clothes you need—you of little faith?

³¹ “So then, forsake your worries! Why would you say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’

³² For that is what the unbelieverschase after. Doesn’t your heavenly Father already know the things your bodies require? TPT

GAL 4:4 But when the time of fulfillment had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law.

⁵ Yet all of this was so that he would redeem and set free those held hostage to the law so that we would receive our freedom and a full legal adoption as his children.

6 And so that we would know that we are his true children, God released the Spirit of Sonship into our hearts—moving us to cry out intimately, “My Father!  My true Father!”  TPT   ▼▼▼

GAL 4:4 But then the day dawned; the most complete culmination of time! The Son arrived, commissioned by the Father; his legal passport to the planet was his mother’s womb. In a human body exactly like ours he lived his life subject to the same scrutiny of the law.

5 His mandate was to rescue the human race from the regime of the law of performance and announce the revelation of their true sonship in God.

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

ONE STEP OF FAITH 12-3-21     VIDEO INDIANA JONES LEAP OF FAITH 2222 5

One step in faith activates the miraculous. Unfortunately the great truths of the word of God have been reduced to doctrines we fight over instead of demonstrations or experiences.

JOHN 2:7 Jesus asked the waiters to fill these stone jars with water, to the brim.  

8 And then instructed them to immediately draw from the containers and present it to the governor of the feast; which they did without hesitation.

9 The host of the event tasted the water that has now become wine, but had no clue as to its vintage or origin. The servants didn’t tell him a word, so he called the bridegroom.  

10 “Why would you keep the best wine for last?” Everybody serves the better wine first, so that by the time the cheaper wine is served, no-one can tell the difference – and here you surprise us all by bringing this excellent wine from your storehouse. Even though we already had much to drink, it is impossible not to tell its superiority!

11 In this first of the signs which Jesus performed at a wedding in Cana of Galilee, he gave everyone a foretaste of the beauty and intention of his mission. And his disciples believed in him. MIRROR

LUKE 1:28 Entering the house, he stood in front of her and greeted her with a most joyful salute! “Heavenly bliss, in its most bountiful extreme is yours! The extravagant favor of God  infuses you with grace! The Lord is with you!”

29 She was deeply perplexed and reasoned within herself. Realizing the massive significance of this salutation!  

30 The Messenger spoke to her and immediately re-assured her to have no fear – “God is head over heels in love with you! This is your moment to discover 1how favored you have always been!  

31 For behold, you will be mystically captured in your womb and conceive and bear a son. And you shall name him Jesus!  

32 The eminence of his stature will be magnificent. He will be known as the son of the Most High. And the Lord God will return to him what already belongs to him, the throne of his father David!  

33 And he will reign as king over the house of Jacob and his kingdom will be without any boundaries.

34 And Mary asked the Messenger, “So how can this be possible while I am still a virgin?”

35 And he said to her, “Holy Spirit will overwhelm you – hovering over you in the power of the Most High. Therefore, this holy begotten one will be called, son of God!

LUKE 1:38 Then Mary responded, “See, I am the handmaid of the Lord; I wish for it be with me exactly according to this conversation!” And with that, the messenger left.  MIRROR

As Jesus did the miracle of loaves and fish he blessed what was available and then multiplied it to feed thousands. Important factor Jesus used what they had that starts with what we have to step out in and then multiplies it.

JOHN 6:5  There was no getting away from the crowds though; when Jesus saw the multitude arrive he said to Phillip, “How do you think we are going to feed all these people?”

6 This wasn’t a trick question, but simply to engage their faith; he already knew exactly what he was going to do!

7 Phillip immediately concluded that this was impossible to do and far beyond a budget of any reasonable calculation; two hundred days wages could never buy enough for each person in the crowd to even get a little morsel of bread!

8 Then one of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

9 pointed to a little boy who had five small loaves of inexpensive barley bread and two small fishes and remarked how insignificant they appeared amongst such a multitude of hungry people!

10 Jesus asked his disciples to get everybody seated – the place was ideal for a picnic since it was spring and the grass was lush and green! Thousands of people gathered!  

11 Jesus took the bread and fish and thanked God for it, then distributed it amongst the people; everyone was free to take as much as they wanted!

12 When the crowd had eaten their fill Jesus said to his disciples to gather up all the broken pieces to make sure that nothing is lost. 

13 So they did and filled twelve baskets with fragments after everybody had as much as they could eat!

14 The people who witnessed these signs began to be more and more convinced that Jesus must truly be that Prophet, the one whom their Scriptures pointed to.  MIRROR

Ex 14:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea dry land; and the waters were divided. 

22 And the Israelites went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 

23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 

24 And in the morning watch the Lord through the pillar of fire and cloud looked down on the host of the Egyptians and discomfited [them], 

25 And bound (clogged, took off) their chariot wheels, making them drive heavily; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians! 

26 Then the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and horsemen. 

27 So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength and normal flow when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled into it [being met by it]; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians and shook them off into the midst of the sea. 

28 The waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that pursued them; not even one of them remained.

1 Kings 17:7 After a while the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land.

8 And the word of the Lord came to him:

9 Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.

10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her, Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

11 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.

12 And she said, As the Lord your God lives, I have not a loaf baked but only a handful of meal in the jar and a little oil in the bottle. See, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it — and die.

13 Elijah said to her, Fear not; go and do as you have said. But make me a little cake of [it] first and bring it to me, and afterward prepare some for yourself and your son.  AMP

4 And when you come in, shut the door upon you and your sons. Then pour out [the oil you have] into all those vessels, setting aside each one when it is full.

5 So she went from him and shut the door upon herself and her sons, who brought to her the vessels as she poured the oil.

6 When the vessels were all full, she said to her son, Bring me another vessel. And he said to her, There is not a one left. Then the oil stopped multiplying.

43 His servant said, How am I to set [only] this before a hundred [hungry] men? He said, Give to the men that they may eat. For thus says the Lord: They shall be fed and have some left.
