HOLY SPIRIT COME UPON YOU 10-30-22 VIDEO GRAHAM COOKE H.S. PRAYER

The Holy Spirit is come to live upon us, to remain forever. I believe that He is also going to refresh us, and come upon us like a garment from our head down to our feet and anointing every part of us. It is represented in the scripture that talks about Aaron having the anointing oil flowing from his head to the hem of his garment. The heavens are open we are being refreshed and covered with the Holy Spirit coming upon us. On Pentecost the Spirit came upon them forever. We will have the refreshment of the Holy Spirit upon us because He will never leave us. When we need more of His presence upon us all we have to do is ask. Jesus receive the Spirit without limitation so do we. Jesus was led by the Spirit that was upon him. The Holy Spirit changes our life in every way.

Num 11:24 So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord, and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and set them round about the Tent.

26 But there remained two men in the camp named Eldad and Medad. The Spirit rested upon them, and they were of those who were selected and listed, yet they did not go out to the Tent [as told to do], but they prophesied in the camp. 

27 And a young man ran to Moses and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying [sounding forth the praises of God and declaring His will] in the camp.

Because of this, they will be known as ‘Mighty Oaks’ of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory. “They will restore ruins from long ago and rebuild what was long devastated. They will renew ruined cities and desolations of past generations. Foreigners will be appointed to shepherd your many flocks; strangers will cultivate your fields and tend your vines of endless joy and everlasting bliss! For I, Yahweh, love fairness and justice, and I hate stealing and sin. I will rightly repay them because of my faithfulness and enter into an everlasting covenant with them.

THE KINDNESS OF GOD 10-28-22 VIDEO

God‘s kindness is powerful. It changes things, it redeems, it makes whole gives new life.  His kindness demonstrated to us allows us to show his real kindness that can change the world. Kindness can change the world.  The Hebrew word for kindness is christos. This world is less about action and more about the softening of heart behind the act. His kindness takes up residence and is the minute we are His. His kindness shows us to be  living epistles.

6 Which He poured out [so] richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior.

7 [And He did it in order] that we might be justified by His grace (by His favor, wholly undeserved), [that we might be acknowledged and counted as conformed to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action], and that we might become heirs of eternal life according to [our] hope.

8 This message is most trustworthy, and concerning these things I want you to insist steadfastly, so that those who have believed in (trusted in, relied on) God may be careful to apply themselves to honorable occupations and to doing good, for such things are [not only] excellent and right [in themselves], but [they are] good and profitable for the people.  AMP

“THE BIG LIE” VS THE WHOLE TRUTH  10-21-22  VIDEO A SPIRITUAL BATTLE

We’re living in the day where truth is not easily known. Have you heard the saying “if you keep repeating a lie long enough, some people will accept this as truth. The Father is very opposed to lies. He sent the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of truth. The devil is a liar. It’s the devils nature to lie. Only two things he can do lie to you and hope you will act in fear. Truth is the aim of belief. Truth is important to know because it will help you thrive and grow. A lie can cost you your life. Lies often flatter someone to get something from them. The truth is it Jesus did not come only to bring people to heaven, but the whole truth/reality is that he came to join them to the Father. We have a mission to bring the truth to the world to the whole world. The big lie and liars have brought are brought to nothing.

John 16:5 But now I am on my way to the One who sent me. Not one of you has asked, ‘Where are you going?’

6 Instead, the longer I’ve talked, the sadder you’ve become.

7 So let me say it again, this truth: It’s better for you that I leave. If I don’t leave, the Friend won’t come. But if I go, I’ll send him to you.

8 “When he comes, he’ll expose the error of the godless world’s view of sin, righteousness, and judgment:

9 He’ll show them that their refusal to believe in me is their basic sin;

10 that righteousness comes from above, where I am with the Father, out of their sight and control;

11 that judgment takes place as the ruler of this godless world is brought to trial and convicted.

12 “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t handle them now.

13 But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won’t draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said.

14 He will honor me; he will take from me and deliver it to you.  MSG

John 8:30 As He said these things, many believed in Him [trusted, relied on, and adhered to Him].

31 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples.

32 And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.  AMP

John 8:44 You are of your father, the devil, and it is your will to practice the lusts and gratify the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar [himself] and the father of lies and of all that is false.  AMP

LUKE 4:2 When the forty days were concluded, he felt famished, having not taken anything to eat at all.

John 18:37 Then Pilate said, “So, are you a king or not?” Jesus answered, “You tell me. Because I am King, I was born and entered the world so that I could witness to the truth. Everyone who cares for truth, who has any feeling for the truth, recognizes my voice.”

38 Pilate said, “What is truth?” Then he went back out to the Jews and told them, “I find nothing wrong in this man.

20 By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse.

21 What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives.

22 They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life.

23 They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.  MSG

FAITH RIGHTEOUSNESS OR THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF FAITH 10-7-22

video RIGHTEOUSNESS 2

We inherit and become Gods people by our believing in Jesus Christ and His finished work. We are made righteous by our faith in Christ. So then what is righteousness? We receive it by faith. Righteousness means that we are made right. Right standing before God. God is ours now because of our faith in Jesus. God knew we would be His. And that we would be His sons so we were made righteous before the creation of the world. We have rights standing and we are innocent before God.

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. 

14 If it is the adherents of the Law who are to be the heirs, then faith is made futile and empty of all meaning and the promise [of God] is made void (is annulled and has no power).  AMP

▼▼▼

Romans 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.

 ¹⁴For if keeping the law earns the inheritance, then faith is robbed of its power and the promise becomes useless. TPT

▼▼▼

Rom 4:13-14 The ancient promise made to Abraham and his descendants, that they should eventually possess the world, was given not because of any achievements made through obedience to the Law, but because of the righteousness which had its root in faith. For if, after all, they who pin their faith to keeping the Law were to inherit God’s world, it would make nonsense of faith in God himself, and destroy the whole point of the promise.   PHILLIPS

ROM 4:16 Therefore since faith sponsors the gift of grace, the promise is equally secured for all the children. The law has no exclusive claim on anyone [the reward system cannot match the gift principle]. Faith is our source, and that makes Abraham our father.    MIRROR

▼▼▼

Romans 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.  TPT

▼▼▼

Rom 4:16-17 The whole thing, then, is a matter of faith on man’s part and generosity on God’s. He gives the security of his own promise to all men who can be called “children of Abraham”, i.e. both those who have lived in faith by the Law, and those who have exhibited a faith like that of Abraham. PHILLIPS

Rom 4:20 No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God,

21 Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.

22 That is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God).

23 But [the words], It was credited to him, were written not for his sake alone,

24 But [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God] will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,  AMP

▼▼▼

Rom 4:20 He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God,

21 sure that God would make good on what he had said.

22 That’s why it is said, “Abraham was declared fit before God by trusting God to set him right.”

23 But it’s not just Abraham;

24 it’s also us! The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe the One who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were equally hopeless. MSG

▼▼▼

Romans 4:20 He never stopped believing God’s promise, for he was made strong in his faith to 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!

²²So now you can see why Abraham’s faith was credited to his account as righteousness before God.

²³And this declaration was not just spoken over Abraham,

²⁴but also over us. For when we believe and embrace the one who brought our Lord Jesus back to life, perfect righteousness will be credited to our account as well. 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

Hab 2:4 Look at the proud; his soul is not straight or right within him, but the [rigidly] just and the [uncompromisingly] righteous man shall live by his faith and in his faithfulness.  AMP

▼▼▼

Gen 15:6  And he believed! Believed God! God declared him “Set-Right-with-God.” MSG

Gal 3:11  The obvious impossibility of carrying out such a moral program should make it plain that no one can sustain a relationship with God that way. The person who lives in right relationship with God does it by embracing what God arranges for him. Doing things for God is the opposite of entering into what God does for you. Habakkuk had it right: “The person who believes God, is set right by God — and that’s the real life.”

12 Rule-keeping does not naturally evolve into living by faith, but only perpetuates itself in more and more rule-keeping, a fact observed in Scripture: “The one who does these things [rule-keeping]continues to live by them.”  MSG

▼▼▼

GAL 3:11 Habakkuk confirms conclusively that righteousness by God’s faith is the only basis to life; this terminates any possible justification before God based on moral behavior.

12 Law and faith have nothing in common! Law measures a person’s doing and experience as defining their life. MIRROR

HEB 10:38 Righteousness by God’s faith defines life; reverting to the law of works grieves God’s work of grace.

Phil 3:9 And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith. AMP

▼▼▼

Phil 3:8-9 For now my place is in him, and I am not dependent upon any of the self-achieved righteousness of the Law. God has given me that genuine righteousness which comes from faith in Christ.

Heb 11:7 [Prompted] by faith Noah, being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took heed and diligently and reverently constructed and prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family.

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

Restoration is repairing, mending fixing and returning.

1 Sam 30:1  Three days later, David and his men arrived back in Ziklag. Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They tore Ziklag to pieces and then burned it down.

3 By the time David and his men entered the village, it had been burned to the ground, and their wives, sons, and daughters all taken prisoner.

4 David and his men burst out in loud wails — wept and wept until they were exhausted with weeping.

5 David’s two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail widow of Nabal of Carmel, had been taken prisoner along with the rest.

6 And suddenly David was in even worse trouble. There was talk among the men, bitter over the loss of their families, of stoning him. David strengthened himself with trust in his God.

Isa 40:28  Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening? God doesn’t come and go. God lasts. He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out.

29 He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts.

30 For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall.

31 But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.

Even young people faint and get exhausted; athletic ones may stumble and fall. But those who wait for Yahweh’s grace will experience divine strength. They will rise up on soaring wings and fly like eagles, run their race without growing weary, and walk through life without giving up.  TPT
