WONDERS 4-24-22  VIDEO MIRACLES IN OUR DAY 2

With all that is going on in our lives and in the world these past years, many of people felt numb and caught up in the negative things. But we need to consider the “wonders“ and signs for good all around us. We need to be like little children amazed at who God is. A wonder is something that is experienced that has never been experience before. It  leaves a sense of awe or amazement.

Matthew 18:3 “Learn this well: Unless you dramatically change your way of thinking and become teachable like a little child, you will never be able to enter in.

⁴Whoever continually humbles himself to become like this little child is the greatest one in heaven’s kingdom realm.  TPT

AMP

▼▼▼

Romans 15:19 And I will not be presumptuous to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me. For many non-Jewish people are coming into faith’s obedience by the power of the Spirit of God, which is displayed through mighty signs and amazing wonders, both in word and deed.

GOD LOOKS AT OUR HEART 4-22-22 VIDEO GOD’S LOVE LETTER PT1 2

God sees us as we really are. How we really feel. How we really act when no one is watching.

1 Thess 2:4 But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the glad tidings (the Gospel), so we speak not to please men but to please God, Who tests our hearts [expecting them to be approved].  AMP

1 COR 4:4 even though I know of nothing against my conscience, I am not thereby acquitted. The point is not how self righteous I appear in my own eyes; the Lord’s judgment is the only valid reference to our innocence.

4:5 Any judgment prior to the Lord’s coming [prior to the cross] is out of context.  His coming illuminates all the hidden mysteries  and unveils the deepest desire of the heart of a person. In his appearingshall everyone be commended by God. MIRROR

1 Sam 16:6 When they had come, he looked on Eliab [the eldest son] and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. But Samuel said, Neither has the Lord chosen this one.

9 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. Samuel said, Nor has the Lord chosen him.

10 Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not chosen any of these.

11 Then [he] said to Jesse, Are all your sons here? [Jesse] said, There is yet the youngest; he is tending the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send for him; for we will not sit down to eat until he is here.

12 Jesse sent and brought him. David had a healthy reddish complexion and beautiful eyes, and was fine-looking. The Lord said [to Samuel], Arise, anoint him; this is he. AMP

Rom 2:29 For you to know who you are in your heart is the secret of your spirit identity; this is your true circumcision, it is not the literal outward appearance that distinguishes you. After all it’s God’s approval and not another’s opinion that matters most. People see skin deep; God knows the heart. Mirror

2 Corinthians 5:16 So then, from now on, we have a new perspective that refuses to evaluate people merely by their outward appearances. For that’s how we once viewed the Anointed One, but no longer do we see him with limited human insight.

1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.

RESURRECTION LIFE 4-17-22 VIDEO OUR RISEN SAVIOR 2 #4

What began on Friday look like total defeat changed totally bringing victory. And now everything is different!!!

We certainly do not doubt Jesus rose from the dead. He also descended into the deepest pit of human despair and took those enemies captive and brought them before the Father for the judgment fully setting free all of mankind.

Luke 24:1 Very early that Sunday morning, the women made their way to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Jesus’ mother Mary.

²Arriving at the tomb they discovered that the huge stone covering the entrance had been rolled aside,

³so they went in to look. But the tomb was empty. The body of Jesus was gone!

⁴They stood there, stunned and perplexed. Suddenly, two men appeared above them in dazzling white robes shining like lightning.

⁵Terrified, the women fell to the ground on their faces. The men in white said to them, “Why would you look for the Living One in a tomb? He is not here, for he has risen!

⁶Have you forgotten what he said to you while he was still in Galilee:

⁷‘The destiny of the Son of Man is to be handed over to sinful men, to be nailed to a cross, and on the third day to rise again’?”

⁸All at once they remembered his words. 

9 Leaving the tomb, they went to break the news to the Eleven and to all the others of what they had seen and heard.

¹¹When the disciples heard the testimony of the women, it made no sense, and they were unable to believe what they heard.

¹²But Peter jumped up and ran the entire distance to the tomb to see for himself. Stooping down, he looked inside and discovered it was empty! There was only the linen sheet lying there. Staggered by this, he walked away, wondering what it meant. TPT

LUKE 24:13 Later that same day, two of Jesus’ disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, a journey of about seventeen miles.  5 HOURS

14-15 They were in the midst of a discussion about all the events of the last few days when Jesus walked up and accompanied them in their journey.

¹⁶They were unaware that it was actually Jesus walking alongside them, for God prevented them from recognizing him.  TPT

Luke 24:25 Jesus said to them, “Why are you so thick-headed? Why do you find it so hard to believe every word the prophets have spoken?

²⁶Wasn’t it necessary for the Messiah to experience all these sufferings and afterward to enter into his glory?”

²⁷And beginning with Moses and all the prophets he carefully unveiled to them the revelation of himself throughout the Scriptures.

²⁸As they approached the village, Jesus walked on ahead, telling them he was going on to a distant place.

²⁹They urged him to remain there with them and pleaded, “Stay with us. It will be dark soon.” So Jesus went with them into the village.

³⁰Joining them at the table for supper, he took bread and blessed it and broke it, then gave it to them.

³¹All at once their eyes were opened and they realized he was Jesus! Then suddenly, in a flash, Jesus vanished from before their eyes!

³²Stunned, they looked at each other and said, “Why didn’t we recognize him? Didn’t our hearts burn with the flames of holy passion while we walked beside him? He unveiled for us such profound revelation from the Scriptures!” 

33 “They left at once and hurried back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples. When they found the Eleven and the other disciples all together,  TPT

LUKE 24:36-37 While they were still discussing all of this, Jesus suddenly appeared right in front of their eyes! Startled and terrified, the disciples were convinced they were seeing a ghost. Standing there among them he said, “Be at peace. I am the living God. Don’t be afraid.

38 Why are you so frightened? Don’t let doubt enter your hearts.

39 See my pierced hands and feet. See for yourselves, it is I, standing here alive. Touch me and know that my wounds are real. A spirit does not have a body of flesh and bone as you see that I have.”

40 Then he showed them his pierced hands and feet and let them touch his wounds.

41 The disciples were ecstatic, yet dumbfounded, unable to fully comprehend it. Knowing that they were still wondering if he was real, Jesus said, “Here, let me show you. Give me something to eat.”

42-43 They handed him a piece of broiled fish and some honeycomb. And they watched him eat.”  TPT

JOHN 20:19 That evening of the first day of the week, the disciples were gathered in a room with the doors locked because they were afraid of the Jews. Suddenly Jesus stepped into their midst and said, “Shalom

20 Then he showed them his scarred hands and side and having now seen the Lord for themselves, they were exceedingly glad!

21 Again he repeated his salutation and said, “Peace be unto you! Just as the Father has commissioned me so do I now send you!”

22 Having said this he breathed an effusion of Spirit upon them and said, “Take Holy Spirit as your Companion.”

23 “If you forgive someone’s sins, they are gone and forgotten. If you don’t let go, then you are stuck with them.” MIRROR

▼

John 20:22-23 And then he breathed upon them and said, “Receive holy spirit. If you forgive any men’s sins, they are forgiven, and if you hold them unforgiven, they are unforgiven.”  PHILLIPS

JOHN 6:39  My Sender’s desire is for me to rescue every single individual – this is his gift to me – that I will lose no detail of their original identity mirrored in me! My rescuing mission will conclude in their joint-resurrection! This is the completeness of time!  MIRROR

EPH 4: 8 Scripture confirms that he arrested every possible threat that held mankind hostage! [“he took captivity captive”] And in his resurrection, he led us as trophies in his triumphant procession on high. Consider the genius of God, in the incarnate Christ, he repossessed what belonged to us by design, in human form; this is his grace-gift to us!

9 The fact that he ascended confirms his victorious descent into the deepest pits of human despair.  “No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, even the son of man.” 

10 He now occupies the ultimate rank of authority, from the lowest regions of our darkness into which he reached in order to rescue us, to the highest authority in the heavens, having executed his mission to the full. MIRROR

EPH 4:24 Remain fully immersed in this God-shaped new person from above! You are created in the image and likeness of God. This is what righteousness and true holiness are all about. MIRROR

Acts 2:24 God destroyed the cords of death and raised him up, because it was impossible for death’s power to hold him prisoner.

²⁵This is the very thing David prophesied about him: ‘I continually see the Lord in front of me. He’s at my right hand, and I am never shaken.

²⁶No wonder my heart is glad and my glory celebrates! My mouth is filled with his praises, and I have hope that my body will live

²⁷because you will not leave my soul among the dead, nor will you allow your sacred one to experience decay.

²⁸For you have revealed to me the pathways to life, and seeing your face fills me with euphoria!’

²⁹“My fellow Jews, I can tell you there is no doubt that our noted patriarch has both died and been buried in his tomb, which remains to this day. So you can see that he was not referring to himself with those words.

³⁰But as a prophet, he knew God’s faithful promise, made with God’s unbreakable oath, that one of his descendants would take his throne.

³¹So when peering into the future, David prophesied of the Messiah’s resurrection. And God revealed to him that the Messiah would not be abandoned to the realm of death, nor would his body experience decay.

³²“Can’t you see it? God has resurrected Jesus, and we all have seen him!  TPT

ROM 6:5  We were like seeds planted together in the same soil, to be co-quickened to life. If we were included in his death we are equally included in his resurrection.

6 We perceive that our old lifestyle was co-crucified together with him; this concludes that the vehicle that accommodated sin in us, was scrapped and rendered entirely useless. Our slavery to sin has come to an end.

7 If nothing else stops you from doing something wrong, death certainly does.

8 Faith sees us joined in his death and alive with him in his resurrection.

9 It is plain for all to see that death lost its dominion over Christ in his resurrection; he need not ever die again to prove a further point.  MIRROR

1 Cor 15:12  Now, let me ask you something profound yet troubling. If you became believers because you trusted the proclamation that Christ is alive, risen from the dead, how can you let people say that there is no such thing as a resurrection?

13 If there’s no resurrection, there’s no living Christ.

14 And face it — if there’s no resurrection for Christ, everything we’ve told you is smoke and mirrors, and everything you’ve staked your life on is smoke and mirrors.

15 Not only that, but we would be guilty of telling a string of barefaced lies about God, all these affidavits we passed on to you verifying that God raised up Christ — sheer fabrications, if there’s no resurrection.

16 If corpses can’t be raised, then Christ wasn’t, because he was indeed dead.

17 And if Christ wasn’t raised, then all you’re doing is wandering about in the dark, as lost as ever.

18 It’s even worse for those who died hoping in Christ and resurrection, because they’re already in their graves.

19 If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we’re a pretty sorry lot.

20 But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long legacy of those who are going to leave the cemeteries.

GOOD FRIDAY 4-15-22  VIDEO LAMB OF GOD SACRIFICED 2

What made good Friday so good? Through the actions of one man, mankind, from the past present and those to come were restored and brought to newness of life. Jesus was not born of earth he is from heaven. Jesus had to be born by the spirit so mankind could be totally saved. It was sealed and confirmed in the spirit beginning in the garden of Gethsemane. In the beginning Jesus ministry Satan tempted him in the wilderness Jesus was not going to give into the temptations. Satan withdrew for a more opportune time.  That time was when Jesus was at the garden at the time the battle for mankind was restored. It was done in the Spirit settled in heaven. Then Jesus settled in the earth on the cross. Sickness sin and death were all defeated. salvation doesn’t just mean that you will go to heaven When you die. But you are safe from the curse, the curse of the law.

Matt 26:36  Then Jesus went with them to a garden called Gethsemane and told his disciples, “Stay here while I go over there and pray.”

37 Taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he plunged into an agonizing sorrow.

38 Then he said, “This sorrow is crushing my life out. Stay here and keep vigil with me.”

39 Going a little ahead, he fell on his face, praying, “My Father, if there is any way, get me out of this. But please, not what I want. You, what do you want?”

40 When he came back to his disciples, he found them sound asleep. He said to Peter, “Can’t you stick it out with me a single hour?

41 Stay alert; be in prayer so you don’t wander into temptation without even knowing you’re in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there’s another part that’s as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire.”

42 He then left them a second time. Again he prayed, “My Father, if there is no other way than this, drinking this cup to the dregs, I’m ready. Do it your way.”

43 When he came back, he again found them sound asleep. They simply couldn’t keep their eyes open.

44 This time he let them sleep on, and went back a third time to pray, going over the same ground one last time.

45 When he came back the next time, he said, “Are you going to sleep on and make a night of it? My time is up, the Son of Man is about to be handed over to the hands of sinners.

46 Get up! Let’s get going! My betrayer is here.”  MSG

1 Cor 15:45  We follow this sequence in Scripture: The First Adam received life, the Last Adam is a life-giving Spirit.

46 Physical life comes first, then spiritual —  

47 a firm base shaped from the earth, a final completion coming out of heaven.

48 The First Man was made out of earth, and people since then are earthy; the Second Man was made out of heaven, and people now can be heavenly.

49 In the same way that we’ve worked from our earthy origins, let’s embrace our heavenly ends. MSG

 ▼▼▼

1 Corinthians 15:45 For it is written: The first man, Adam, became a living soul.

The last Adam became the life-giving Spirit. 

⁴⁶However, the spiritual didn’t come first. The natural precedes the spiritual. 

⁴⁷The first man was from the dust of the earth; the second Man is Yahweh, from the realm of heaven. 

⁴⁸The first one, made from dust, has a race of people just like him, who are also made from dust. The One sent from heaven has a race of heavenly people who are just like him. 

⁴⁹Once we carried the likeness of the man of dust, but now let us carry the likeness of the man of heaven.  TPT

ROM 5:12 One person opened the door to sin. Sin introduced (spiritual) death. Both sin and death had a global impact. No one escaped its tyranny.  

13 The law did not introduce sin; it was just not pointed out yet.

14 In the mean time death dominated everyone’s lifestyle, from Adam till Moses,

15 The only similarity in the comparison between the crash-landing and the gift, is that both Adam and Christ represent the masses. However, the grace gift lavished upon mankind in the one man Jesus Christ supersedes the effect of Adam’s failure by far and is beyond comparison in significance to the idea of death and separation.

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.

5:18 The conclusion is clear: if one offence condemns the entire human race; then in principle, the righteousness of one vindicates the entire human race.  

19 The disobedience of the one exhibits mankind as sinners; the obedience of another exhibits mankind as righteous. MIRROR

ROM 5:21 Death provided sin its platform and power to reign from; now grace has taken over sovereignty through righteousness to introduce unthreatened life under the Lordship of Jesus Christ over us.  A simple equation: We were not made sinners by our own disobedience; neither were we made righteous by our own obedience.

The same humanity represented in the one man Adam, is triumphantly represented in the one man Jesus Christ!  Adam’s transgression no longer holds the human race hostage.  MIRROR

Romans 5:21 And just as sin reigned through death, so also this sin-conquering grace will reign as king through righteousness, imparting eternal life through Jesus, our Lord and Messiah!  TPT

GAL 6:14 May my boasting be in nothing but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me and I to the world. The religious-systems and applause of this world have no appeal to me. As far as they are concerned, I am like a dead person.

15 The new creation in Christ steals the show; not whether someone is circumcised or not!  

16 Our union with Christ sets the pace and makes us the true Israel, not whether we are Jew or Gentile, circumcised or not! Oh, what peace we discover in his mercy! This rule is the new law we submit ourselves to as the principle of our daily walk! MIRROR

GAL 2:19 The law demanded my death; grace reveals that in God’s mind Jesus died that death. So as far as the law is concerned, I’m a dead man but as far as God is concerned I’m alive! MIRROR

1 JOHN 1:7  We are invited to explore the dimensions of the same light that engulfs God; when we see the light in his light, fellowship ignites! In this light, we understand how the blood of Jesus Christ is the removal of every distortion and stain of sin! MIRROR

EPH 2:13 But now, wow! Everything has changed; you have discovered yourselves to be located in Christ. What once seemed so distant is now so near; his blood reveals your redeemed innocence and authentic genesis. 

14 It is in him that we are one and at peace with everyone; he dissolved every definition of division.  MIRROR

Ephesians 2:13 Yet look at you now! Everything is new! Although you were once distant and far away from God, now you have been brought delightfully close to him through the sacred blood of Jesus—you have actually been united to Christ!

¹³Under the old covenant the blood of bulls, goats, and the ashes of a heifer were sprinkled on those who were defiled and effectively cleansed them outwardly from their ceremonial impurities. 

¹⁴Yet how much more will the sacred blood of the Messiah thoroughly cleanse our consciences! For by the power of the eternal Spirit he has offered himself to God as the perfect Sacrifice that now frees us from our dead works to worship and serve the living God. TPT

Heb 1:3  He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high, AMP 

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God. In His human body He was put to death, but He was made alive in the spirit, AMP

HEB 10:10 So, by this fulfilled will, in the mind of God and by his resolution he declares mankind immediately sanctified through one sacrifice; the presentation of the body of Jesus Christ.

11 Every priest continually repeats the same daily rituals and sacrifices, knowing that they have always proved incapable of removing sins.

12 But now we have an exception. In complete contrast to the previous priesthood, this priest offered a single sacrifice of perpetual efficacy for sins. To celebrate the perfection of what was attained through his single sacrifice, he sat down as the executive authority of God.  He occupies the highest seat of dominion to endorse mankind’s innocence! “Having accomplished purification of sins, he sat down.”)

13 His seat of authority is established upon the fully realized, prophetic expectation that all his enemies would be subdued. He would most certainly stand in triumph with his feet on their necks. MIRROR

Hebrews 12:24And we have come to Jesus who established a new covenant with his blood sprinkled upon the mercy seat; blood that continues to speak from heaven, “forgiveness,” a better message than Abel’s blood that cries from the earth, “justice.” TPT

HEB 10:19 So, fellow family, what the blood of Jesus communicates, seals our immediate access into this ultimate place of sacred encounter, with unashamed confidence.

20 This is the official inauguration of a brand new way of life. The torn flesh of Jesus opened the veil for us. Our own flesh can no longer be a valid excuse to interrupt the expression of the life of our design from within our innermost shrine.

21 We have a High Priest in the house!

22 We are free to approach God with absolute confidence, fully persuaded in our hearts that nothing can any longer separate us. We are invited to draw near now! We are thoroughly cleansed, inside and out, with no trace of sin’s stains on our conscience or conduct. The sprinkled blood purges our inner thought-patterns; our bodies also are bathed in clean water.    MIRROR

ROM 6:6 We perceive that our old lifestyle was co-crucified together with him; this concludes that the vehicle that accommodated sin in us, was scrapped and rendered entirely useless. Our slavery to sin has come to an end. MIRROR

1 Corinthians 1:18  To preach the message of the cross seems like sheer nonsense to those who are on their way to destruction, but to us who are being saved, it is the mighty power of God released within us. TPT

GAL 3:13  Christ redeemed us from the curse as consequence of our failure to keep the law. In his cross he concentrated the total curse of the human race upon himself.

Sometimes we feel afraid really confused about taking a new step forward in our lives. The word says “Do it anyway“. Trust me even if you feel afraid, I will be with you. When the pressure feels at its strongest you can trust God to make away for you.

Fear is the opposite of trust. Trust God no matter how much fear tries to stop you do it anyway! God raise his promises from the dead. It seems at times there’s no way or nothing left to believe. But God will raises the promises if it when they seem dead that’s resurrection power.

Psalms 23:4-Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.

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

¹¹Sarah’s faith embraced God’s 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.

HEB 11:17 Faith became a more tangible evidence of the promise than even Isaac could ever be to Abraham. Isaac neither fulfilled nor replaced the promise.

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! MIRROR ▼

LUKE 1:38 Then Mary responded, saying, “This is amazing! I will be a mother for the Lord! As his servant, I accept whatever he has for me. May everything you have told me come to pass.” And the angel left her.  TPT

Psalms 78:52 Then, like a shepherd leading his sheep, God led his people out of tyranny, guiding them through the wilderness like a flock.

⁵⁴Eventually God brought his people to the Holy Land, to a land of hills that he had prepared for them.

⁵⁵He drove out and scattered all the peoples occupying the land, staking out an inheritance, a portion for each of Israel’s tribes.  TPT

THINGS ARE CHANGING  4-3-2022  VIDEO TIMELINE2

Just like seasons change and give way to a new season, so we are in a time of change. In the midst of tough world circumstances, there’s a sense of change in the air. A change means the process of doing and being something or someone different. Change will always bring corresponding actions. The tribe of Issachar was well known for being able to discern the times the new times. It’s a changing of the guard.

Example: the priesthood with the law and Aaron gave way to the new priesthood of Jesus. Now we are a new royal priesthood.  If we can’t change and do the new things we’re living in the old things. We must as Gods people discern the times and learn how to act to set the course to accelerate His purposes on the earth. 

Luke 12:56 Frauds! You know how to tell a change in the weather, so don’t tell me you can’t tell a change in the season, the God-season we’re in right now. MSG

Jer 8:7 Cranes know when it’s time to move south for winter. And robins, warblers, and bluebirds know when it’s time to come back again. But my people? My people know nothing, not the first thing of God and his rule.

8 “‘How can you say, “We know the score. We’re the proud owners of God’s revelation”? Look where it’s gotten you — stuck in illusion. Your religion experts have taken you for a ride!  MSG

Isa 48:3 For a long time now, I’ve let you in on the way I work: I told you what I was going to do beforehand, then I did it and it was done, and that’s that.

4 I know you’re a bunch of hardheads, obstinate and flint-faced,

5 So I got a running start and began telling you what was going on before it even happened. That is why you can’t say, ‘My god-idol did this.’ ‘My favorite god-carving commanded this.’

6 You have all this evidence confirmed by your own eyes and ears. Shouldn’t you be talking about it? And that was just the beginning. I have a lot more to tell you, things you never knew existed.

7 This isn’t a variation on the same old thing. This is new, brand-new, something you’d never guess or dream up. When you hear this you won’t be able to say, ‘I knew that all along.’

8 You’ve never been good listeners to me. You have a history of ignoring me, A sorry track record of fickle attachments —  rebels from the womb. MSG

Luke 19:41 And as they proceeded, he burst into tears at the sight of the city!  

42 Oh Jerusalem, this is your moment! If only you perceived your peace, right here, right now! But now it is hidden from view!

43 For soon your adversaries will encircle you and besiege you with barricades, shutting you in from every side.

44 And whatever defined you and your children historically, will be brought down and levelled to the ground – not a single  stone will remain upon another! This will mirror your failure to perceive 1the relevance of this moment!  MIRROR

Heb 7:12 If there is a new order of priesthood, there must obviously be a new law.  

13 The person who is prophetically implicated as being the leader of this new priesthood belongs to a completely different tribe. This implies a complete break with tradition because no one from any tribe other than the Levites ever touched the altar.

14 History is clear that the Lord’s lineage is from Judah, concerning whom Moses made no mention of a priestly office.

15 Of far greater significance and even more apparent is the fact that Jesus is mirrored in Melchizedek in whom the new priestly office arises.

16 This new office is not based on the law of precepts constrained by the frailty of the flesh, but by the authority of an indestructible life.  

17 Thus Scripture confirms his perpetual priesthood exactly according to the pattern of Melchizedek.

18 This new order brought about an immediate end to the previous inferior and useless system of laws and commandments.

19 In its ability to reunite mankind with God, the law did not succeed even once; that is why it was superseded by the introduction of a far superior hope, a new order in which we are perfectly represented before God.

7:24 But there will be no successor to the Priesthood of Jesus because he remains forever.    MIRROR

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Matt 11:12 For a long time now people have tried to force themselves into God’s kingdom.

13 But if you read the books of the Prophets and God’s Law closely, you will see them culminate in John, teaming up with him in preparing the way for the Messiah of the kingdom.

14 Looked at in this way, John is the ‘Elijah’ you’ve all been expecting to arrive and introduce the Messiah. MSG

RO 13:11 You must understand the urgency and context of time; it is most certainly now the hour to wake up at once out of the hypnotic state of slumber and unbelief. Salvation has come.

12 It was night for long enough; the day has arrived. Cease immediately with any action associated with the darkness of ignorance. Clothe yourselves in the radiance of light as soldiers would wear their full weaponry.

13 Our lives exhibit the kind of conduct consistent with the day, in contrast to the parade of the night of intoxicated licentiousness and lust, with all the quarrels and jealousy it ignites.

14 By being fully clothed in Christ makes it impossible for the flesh to even imagine to find any further expression or fulfillment in lust. Jesus is Lord of your life.  MIRROR

¹³ We must live honorably, surrounded by the light of this new day, not in the darkness of drunkenness and debauchery, not in promiscuity and sensuality, not being argumentative or jealous of others.

¹⁴ Instead fully immerse yourselves into the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, and don’t waste even a moment’s thought on your former identity to awaken its selfish desires. TPT

Philippians 3:7 Yet all of the accomplishments that I once took credit for, I’ve now forsaken them and I regard it all as nothing compared to the delight of experiencing Jesus Christ as my Lord!

⁸To truly know him meant letting go of everything from my past and throwing all my boasting on the garbage heap. It’s all like a pile of manure to me now, so that I may be enriched in the reality of knowing Jesus Christ and embrace him as Lord in all of his greatness.

⁹My 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

Phil 1:9 And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment],

¹⁶For his “body” has been formed in his image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in love. TPT
