THE POWER OF BLESSINGS 10-27-23  VIDEO Graham Cooke prophetic word

The blessings of God can change your life. By the blessing of God, Abraham received a prophetic promise and became one of the richest men of his day. He became the father of the nations. By the blessings of God, Job received double for what was lost, and David, who was only a humble shepherd became the ruler of a mighty empire. Blessing, blessings or bless is mention 474 times in the Bible. 

Blessings from God are important to Him. You are blessed when you sleep. With good dreams. We have the blessings of David as we are in Christ.  From Christ to us. All those heros mentioned in Hebrews 11 walked in God‘s blessings.

Deut 7:13 And He will love you, bless you, and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your land, your grain, your new wine, and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock in the land which He swore to your fathers to give you.

14 You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

15 And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt which you knew will He put upon you, but will lay them upon all who hate you. AMP

Deut 28:3 God’s blessing inside the city, God’s blessing in the country;

4 God’s blessing on your children, the crops of your land, the young of your livestock, the calves of your herds, the lambs of your flocks.

5 God’s blessing on your basket and bread bowl;

6 God’s blessing in your coming in, God’s blessing in your going out.

NOTHING CAN GET BETWEEN US AND CHRIST’S LOVE AND FORGIVENESS

 11-6-23  VIDEO WE HAVE LOST WHO WE ARE 2

Nothing means- not any thing – in this world, or any other world. Nothing in our fear-based imagination. No part no how, not one thing, never, at now time, nix, not, zip. But sometimes we think our nothing is greater than Jesus ability to love us. Nothing can stop us because he loves us. God’s love and forgiveness for us makes nothing impossible for us.

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

32 The gift of his Son is the irrefutable evidence of God’s heart towards us. He held nothing in reserve; but freely gave everything we could ever wish to have; this is what our joint sonship is all about.

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

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

35 What will it take to distance us from the love of Christ? You name any potential calamity: intense pressure of the worst possible kind, claustrophobia, persecution, destitution, loneliness, extreme exposure, life-threatening danger, or war? MIRROR

Rom 8:37 None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us.

38 I’m absolutely convinced that nothing — nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow,

39 high or low, thinkable or unthinkable — absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. MSG

▼▼▼ 

ROM 8:37 On the contrary, in the thick of these things our triumph remains beyond dispute. His love has placed us above the reach of any onslaught.

38 This is my conviction; no threat whether it be in death or life; be it celestial messengers, demon powers or political principalities, nothing known to us at this time, or even in the unknown future;

39 no dimension of any calculation in time or space, nor any device yet to be invented, has what it takes to separate us from the love of God unveiled in our Lord, Jesus Christ.   MIRROR

Rom 8:1  With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud.

 2 A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death. MSG

▼▼▼

ROM 8:1 Now the decisive conclusion is this: in Christ, every bit of condemning evidence against us is cancelled.  

2 The law of the Spirit is the liberating force of life in Christ. This leaves me with no further obligation to the law of sin and death. Spirit has superseded the sin enslaved senses as the principle law of our lives. MIRROR

▼▼▼

Romans 8:1So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.

 2 For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.

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

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

2 Sam 7:19 But that’s nothing compared to what’s coming, for you’ve also spoken of my family far into the future, given me a glimpse into tomorrow, my Master God!

Rom 4:17  We call Abraham “father” not because he got God’s attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody. Isn’t that what we’ve always read in Scripture, God saying to Abraham, “I set you up as father of many peoples”? Abraham was first named “father” and then became a father because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nothing.

18 When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do. And so he was made father of a multitude of peoples. God himself said to him, “You’re going to have a big family, Abraham!”   MSG

Rom 8:12 So don’t you see that we don’t owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent.

14 God’s Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go!   MSG

1 JOHN 4:11 Loved Ones! If this is true about God’s love for us, it is equally true of his love in us for others!

12 God was never visible to anyone until Jesus brought him into full view; now your love does the same! Our love for one another is evidence of God’s seamless union with mankind as witnessed in his love perfected within us!  MIRROR

Romans 4:6Even King David himself speaks to us regarding the complete wholeness that comes inside a person when God’s powerful declaration of righteousness is heard over our life. Apart from our works, God’s work is enough.

LIGHT THE GREATEST OF GOD’S CREATED WORKS  10-1-23 

VIDEO JESUS IS LIGHT 2

Light the greatest of Gods created works. The most important and powerful work of God is light. Without light there would be no form of life. Light is always associated with goodness. Its source is in God and the light defeats darkness. In the Hebrew, the word darkness is misery, destruction, and death. The light is the eternal light of God, which cannot be extinguished. And Jesus is the light of the world. Jesus is not only the manifestation of light. He is the source of all life and light.

GEN 1:1-2 In the Beginning When’ God’ created the heavens and the earth, the earth was completely formless and empty, with nothing but darkness draped over the deep. God’s Spirit hovered over the face of the waters.

3 And God announced; “Let there be light,” and light burst forth!’

4 And God saw the light as pleasing and beautiful; he used the light to dispel the darkness. God called the light “Day,” and the darkness “Night.” And so, evening gave way to morning the first day. TPT
