THE POWER OF UNITY 2 25-24

THE POWER OF UNITY 2-24-23 VIDEO THE POWER OF UNITY BILL JOHNSON 2

Unity transcends mere agreement; it is being an enduring oneness, rooted deeply in it’s meaning. It is not conformity it is seeing our differences and loving anyway.  It intertwines minds and hearts, tightly knit without separation—a unity with Christ and eachother. Marriage serves as a illustration of this profound unity

1 COR 12:12 What I was told is that you are divided into groups, where some side with Paul, others with Apollos, still others with Cephas, and even some who say, “we are the Messianic group”!

13 This is really ridiculous: can Christ be cut up into little relics? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into Paul’s name?  MIRROR

1 COR 12:19 Our individual significance only finds context in relationship to others!

20 The sum total of the members equals one body.

21 The eye perceives and the hand touches; they do not compete for importance. The head will never make the feet feel inferior! In the body there is no sense of, “I am positioned higher than you and therefore I do not need you!”

22 The members are not rated in importance with how visible and prominent they seem to be. The less visible parts are indispensable; it is impossible for the body to function without them.

23 Those members that seem to be of lesser visible value deserve the greater and more personal care. There is so much more to a person than a pretty face!

24 God so structured the body that every single part is equally valued; the less visible parts are often treated with even greater honor and more specific care.

25 Because of the delicate interdependence of the various parts of the body it is natural that no schism can be tolerated; instead every member considers the other with affectionate care.

26 It is impossible for one part of the body to suffer injury without the rest of the body being immediately alerted to it; the pain of the one is the pain of all. In the same way the complete person is honored, not just the fingers that skillfully play the harp. Everyone is equally included in the same joy.

27 You are the body of Christ; individually as much as you are his body corporately. Everyone of you mirrors him. He defines your form. The individual member does not give context to the body; the body gives context to the member.

28 Wherever God places you in the body is to co-compliment the full function of the ekklesia. The seemingly most prominent and visible gifts are the apostolic, then the prophetic, the teachers, the workers of miracles, those gifted with healing various diseases. Then there are those who can fulfill any role required of them for the moment; they are the ones who can stand in full support to assist any of the other gifts! The administrators are gifted to manage the various functions of the ekklesia with great skill. Then there are those gifted in languages. MIRROR

Psalms 133:1 How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity!

2It’s as precious as the sacred scented oil flowing from the head of the high priest Aaron, dripping down upon his beard and running all the way down to the hem of his priestly robes.

3This harmony can be compared to the dew dripping from Mount Hermon, which flows down upon the hills of Zion. Indeed, that is where Yahweh has decreed his blessings will be found, the promise of life forevermore!  TPT

Ephesians 2:14 Our reconciling “Peace” is Jesus! He has made Jew and non-Jew one in Christ. By dying as our sacrifice, he has broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us and has now made us equal through our union with Christ.

15Ethnic hatred has been dissolved by the crucifixion of his precious body on the cross. The legal code that stood condemning every one of us has now been repealed by his command. His triune essence has made peace between us by starting over—forming one new race of humanity, Jews and non-Jews fused together in himself!  TPT

Gal 3:26 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.

27 For as many [of you] as were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union and communion with Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah] have put on (clothed yourselves with) Christ.

28 There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham’s Seed], then you are Abraham’s offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise.  AMP

Phil 2:2 Fill up and complete my joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord and of one harmonious mind and intention.

3 Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves].

4 Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others.  AMP

JN 17:21 That they all may be one, exactly as you Father are mirrored in me and I in you, that they also will be exactly mirrored to be one in us – then the entire world will believe and be persuaded about your mission upon my life!

23 I am in them as you are in me, and on this basis their seamless oneness may be entirely concluded. Thus the world will acknowledge your commission upon my life and know that my love for them mirrors your love for me.  MIRROR

1 COR 1:10 Friends, because we are surnamed and identified in the name of our master Jesus Christ, I urge you to speak with one voice; we share the same source as our reference; the idea of division is an illusion.

Acts 2:42 And they steadfastly persevered, devoting themselves constantly to the instruction and fellowship of the apostles, to the breaking of bread [including the Lord’s Supper] and prayers.

43 And a sense of awe (reverential fear) came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were performed through the apostles (the special messengers).

44 And all who believed (who adhered to and trusted in and relied on Jesus Christ) were united and [together] they had everything in common;

45 And they sold their possessions (both their landed property and their movable goods) and distributed the price among all, according as any had need.

46 And day after day they regularly assembled in the temple with united purpose, and in their homes they broke bread [including the Lord’s Supper]. They partook of their food with gladness and simplicity and generous hearts,

47 Constantly praising God and being in favor and goodwill with all the people; and the Lord kept adding [to their number] daily those who were being saved [from spiritual death].  AMP

45 They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was met.

46 They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful,

Eph 4:1  In light of all this, here’s what I want you to do. While I’m locked up here, a prisoner for the Master, I want you to get out there and walk — better yet, run! — on the road God called you to travel. I don’t want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don’t want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere.

2 And mark that you do this with humility and discipline — not in fits and starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love,

3 alert at noticing differences and quick at mending fences.

4 You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly.

JEHOVAH, THE PROMISE KEEPING GOD 2-23-24 VIDEO PROMISES

A promise is a pledge to do something or to bring something to pass. A promise is a gift graciously bestowed or given. It’s not negotiated. It’s freely given. They are over 8810 promises in the Bible. When God gives you a promise know that His Word will never return void. Whatever it is that He promised, He will fulfill. Jesus promised people eternal life. God sometimes fulfills promises in a way that we could never have imagined. His  promises always will have their fulfillment at the proper time. God‘s promises are like the stars, the darker the night the brighter they shine.

Isa 55:10 Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don’t go back until they’ve watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,

ISA 55:10 “As the snow and rain that fall from heaven and do not return until they have accomplished their purpose, soaking the earth and causing it to sprout with new life, providing seed to sow and bread to eat.

word performs my purpose and fulfills the mission I sent it out to accomplish.” TPT

Gen 9:12 God continued, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and everything living around you and everyone living after you.

GAL 3:16 It is on record that the promise [of the blessing of righteousness by God’s faith] was made to Abraham and to his seed, singular, [thus excluding his effort to produce Ishmael.] Isaac, the child of promise and not of the flesh mirrors the Messiah.

17 This is my reasoning: God endorsed the covenant of promise in Christ 430 years before the law was given. The law did not later replace the promise!

18 The law and the promise are not compatible; the one system nullifies the other. God gifts Abraham with heir-ship by promise   MIRROR

Heb 4:16 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].  AMP

I AM PREPARING A PLACE FOR YOU 2-11-24 VIDEO GOD OF ETERNITY

As Jesus got closer to the time when he would be crucified and leaving His disciples, He shared with them, that they would not be left orphans, but He was preparing a place for them. They had traveled, lived, slept, and ate together for the past years of his ministry. Now they were being told where He was going, and they could not come. God will not abandon us, nor leave us orphans here. Not only was Jesus preparing a place for them with Him, but He also was sending us a companion to be with them forever. Jesus told them He would living in them in unity and love. The home He was preparing is that they would be in Him, and He would be in them. Never forsaken. No matter what goes on in the world we will be with Jesus at home in heaven. The place of Jesus prepared for us by His death on the cross is that He would make His home in us and we would make our home in Him. We are with Him in the spirit in heaven right now, but we will also be with Him when we takeoff this meet suit and live with Him in heaven.

JOHN 14:1 Set your troubled hearts at ease by letting your belief conclude in God as you rest your confidence in me.  

2 What makes my Father’s house home, is your place in it! If this was not the ultimate conclusion of my mission, why would I even bother to do what I am about to do if it was not to prepare a place for you? I have come to persuade you of a place of seamless oneness where you belong.

I will prepare a highway for you, just as in the Oriental custom, where people would go before a king to level the roads to make it possible for royalty to journey with ease and comfort.

ISA 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I clearly saw the Lord. He was seated on His exalted throne, towering high above me. His long, flowing robe of splendor spread throughout the temple.

2 Standing above him were the angels of flaming fire, * each with six wings: with two wings they covered their faces in reverence, with two wings they covered their feet, and with two wings they flew.

THE GIFT OF GRACE

THE GIFT OF GRACE 2-4-24 VIDEO ONE MINUTE

Grace is the chance to start fresh. It’s in the understanding of Grace that you have the key to letting go of the past. It’s undeserved favor. You can’t earn it. You can’t buy it but you can receive it. Grace is perpetual. It never runs out. Through Grace you receive right standing with God.

JOHN 1:17 The law was given through Moses; grace and truth have their genesis in Jesus Christ. Against the stark backdrop of the law, with Moses representing the condemned state of mankind, Jesus Christ unveils grace and truth!  MIRROR

Ps 84:11 For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.  AMP

Psalms 84:11 For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory. Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all! TPT

Psalms 92:14 for in your presence they will still overflow and be anointed. Even in their old age they will stay fresh, bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully.

15Listen to them! With pleasure they still proclaim: “You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength! You’ve never made a mistake with me.”  TPT

Matt 5:4 “You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.

5 “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are — no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought. MSG

James 4:6 But He gives us more and more grace (power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it).  AMP

Acts 20:32 And now [brethren], I commit you to God [I deposit you in His charge, entrusting you to His protection and care].

Acts 20:32 “And so now, I entrust you into God’s hands and the message of his grace, which is all that you need to become strong. All of God’s blessings are imparted through the message of his grace, which he provides as the spiritual inheritance given to all of his holy ones.  TPT

Rom 1:5 It is through Him that we have received grace (God’s unmerited favor) and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name’s sake among all the nations,

Rom 3:24 [All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,  AMP

▼▼▼

ROM 3:24 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!  MIRROR

ROM 5:15 The only similarity in the comparison between the 1crash-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 2death 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. MIRROR

ROM 5:20 The presence of the law made no difference, instead it merely highlighted the offence; but where sin increased, grace superseded it.

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

ROM 6:14  Sin was your master while the law was your measure; now grace rules.  

15 Being under grace and not under the law most certainly does not mean that you now have a license to sin. MIRROR

ROM 11:6 Grace cannot suggest debt or obligation at the same time. The word grace can only mean what it says. The same argument goes for mankind’s good works; if salvation or any advantage for that matter is to be obtained according to prescribed regulations of conduct, then that’s it. No amount of grace can change the rules! Grace means grace and work means work.

7 The very thing Israel sought to obtain through their diligent labor they failed to get; yet those who embraced grace as God’s 1original intent hit the bull’s eye every time, leaving the rest groping around in the dark like blindfolded archers.  MIRROR

1 COR 1:4 I am always so happy for you when I consider how greatly advantaged you are because of God’s grace unveiled in Jesus Christ.

5 Your knowledge of Christ is based on so much more than hearsay; every aspect of your life gives eloquent expression to the rich reservoir of your union in him.

6 You certainly have the testimony of Christ evidenced in you 

7 In receiving the revelation of Jesus Christ as the principal influence in your life (his Lordship), you prove that you lack nothing and that his grace gifts fully compliment you.   MIRROR

1 COR 15:10 While my own doing completely disqualified me; his doing now defines me. I am what I am by the grace of God. I am because he is! His grace was not wasted on me; instead I am inspired to labor beyond the point of exhaustion, more than anything I ever did under the law of performance; whatever it is that I accomplish now has grace written all over it. I take no credit for it.  MIRROR

2 Corinthians 6:1 Now, since we are God’s coworkers, we beg you not to take God’s marvelous grace for granted, allowing it to have no effect on your lives.

2For he says, I listened to you at the time of my favor. And the day when you needed salvation, I came to your aid. So can’t you see? Now is the time to respond to his favor! Now is the day of salvation! TPT

2 COR 9:8 It is impossible to exaggerate the dimensions and detail of the grace of God! Plunge into the extravagance of grace where he exhibits the extreme dynamics of his bountiful dealing with us! We are already advantaged far beyond any calculation of personal merit to be completely self sufficient at all times in every possible situation that we might face! The overflow thereof amply supplies the needs of others in many creative ways to do good!  MIRROR

GAL 1:15 God’s eternal love dream separated me from my mother’s womb; his grace became my identity.     MIRROR

GAL 2:21 21 It is an insult to the grace of God to prefer Moses to Jesus! If the law could justify you then Jesus wasted his time dying your death! MIRROR

EPH 2:5 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!  MIRROR

EPH 4:7 The gift of Christ measures the extravagant dimensions of grace; where everyone is equally advantaged.   MIRROR

2 TIM 1:10 Everything that grace pointed to is now realized in Jesus Christ and brought into clear view through the gospel: Jesus is what grace reveals. He took death out of the equation and re-defines life; this is good news indeed!

11 Grace is my commission; it is my job and joy to proclaim this message and guide the nations into a full understanding of the love initiative of God.   MIRROR

Hebrews 4:16 So now we draw near freely and boldly to where grace is enthroned, to receive mercy’s kiss and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen us in our time of weakness.  TPT

SURRENDER 2-2-24

SURRENDER 2-2-2024  VIDEO SURRENDER

You did not have to make up excuses, nor do you have to hide anything or keep anything secret from the Father. Just give it over to him. Put it in his hands and don’t take it back. He can be trusted. Surrender means to quit fighting and submit to the authority of the highest power, the Lord God, Almighty. When you surrendered to the good news of the gospel no longer will you have to surrender to worry or fear or self hatred. A quote from Martin Luther, “I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all. But whenever I have placed it in God‘s hands I still possess”. Giving it up to God will result in peace. Surrender is trusting God because He is our safe place.

21 And, beloved, if our consciences (our hearts) do not accuse us [if they do not make us feel guilty and condemn us], we have confidence (complete assurance and boldness) before God,
