SEEKING GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART 2-28-25 VIDEO SECRET PLACE

What does it mean to be a God seeker? There appears to be a difference between a normal Christian and a true God seeker. A God seeker is one who doesn’t just want to hear about God, but to see him for himself. Always pursuing God‘s presence waiting to experience Him. David, in spite of his sin constantly pursued God. David is a great roadmap of how we should live our lives. God actually touched Moses and covered him with His hand.

Deut 10:12 So now Israel, what do you think GOD expects from you? Just this: Live in his presence in holy reverence, follow the road he sets out for you, love him, serve GOD, your God, with everything you have in you, MSG

Deut 4:29 But if from there you will seek (inquire for and require as necessity) the Lord your God, you will find Him if you [truly] seek Him with all your heart [and mind] and soul and life.

30 When you are in tribulation and all these things come upon you, in the latter days you will turn to the Lord your God and be obedient to His voice.

31 For the Lord your God is a merciful God; He will not fail you or destroy you or forget the covenant of your fathers, which He swore to them. AMP

Deut 4:29 But even there, if you seek God, your God, you’ll be able to find him if you’re serious, looking for him with your whole heart and soul.

30 When troubles come and all these awful things happen to you, in future days you will come back to God, your God, and listen obediently to what he says.

31 God, your God, is above all a compassionate God. In the end he will not abandon you, he won’t bring you to ruin, he won’t forget the covenant with your ancestors which he swore to them.  MSG

LUKE 19:1 On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus had to pass through Jericho.

2 There lived a very wealthy man named Zacchaeus, who supervised all the tax collectors.

3 He was very eager to see Jesus and kept trying to get a look at him through the massive crowd. Since Zacchaeus was a short man and couldn’t see over the heads of the people,

4 he ran on ahead of everyone and climbed up a blossoming fig tree to get a glimpse of Jesus as he passed by.

5 When Jesus got to that place, he looked up into the tree and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry on down, for I must stay at your house today!”

6 So he scurried down the tree and found himself face-to-face with Jesus.

7 As Jesus left to go with Zacchaeus, many in the crowd complained, “Look at this! Of all the people to have dinner with, he’s going to eat in the house of a crook.”

8 Zacchaeus was amazed over his gracious visit to his home and joyously welcomed Jesus. Zacchaeus stood in front of the Lord and said, “Half of all that I own I will give to the poor. And Lord, if I have cheated anyone, I promise to pay them back four times as much as I stole.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Your repentance shows that today life has come to you and your household, and that you are a true son of Abraham.

10 The Son of Man has come to seek out and to give life to those who are lost.”  TPT

JN 3:1 Now amongst them there was a man who was a prominent leader among the Jews, a Pharisee named Nicodemus.

2 He came to see Jesus under the cover of the night and said to him, “Rabbi, it is clear for all of us to see that you come from God as a Teacher – the signs you perform are proof that God is with you! No one is able to do these signs you do if they are not in union with God.

3 Jesus answered him emphatically; no one would even be able to recognize anything as coming from God’s domain unless they are born from above to begin with! The very fact that it is possible to perceive that I am in union with God, as a human being, reveals mankind’s genesis from above!  MIRROR

PS 22:26 For the Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he saw the Messiah, the Anointed One of God.

27 Keeping his promise, the Holy Spirit led Simeon to be in the temple court at the very moment Jesus’ parents entered to fulfill the requirement of the sacrifice.

28 Simeon cradled the baby in his arms and praised God and prophesied:

29-31“Lord and Master, I am your loving servant and now I can die content, for you have fulfilled your promise to me. With my own eyes I have seen your Word,

the Savior you sent into the world.  TPT

LUKE 2:25 And significantly so, there happened to be a man Simeon, in Jerusalem; he was a righteous man who embraced the goodness of God.  

26 Simeon had a Holy Spirit encounter and knew that he would not die before he sees because the Lord’s Anointed.

27 Prompted in the spirit, he arrived at the temple as the parents of the child Jesus, brought him in, as prescribed in their tradition and law.

28 And Simeon, holding the little child in his arms began to speak eloquent praises to God and said,

29 My Master, I am fully satisfied; you can now release your bond-servant in peace. I am holding your incarnate word in my arms!

30  And my eyes have seen your salvation!  MIRROR

LUKE 2:36 There was also a prophetess Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was already far advanced in her days and a widow for eighty four years. Her husband died when she was only twenty one and married for seven years.  

37 For all these years, since her husband’s death, she ministered to the Lord continually in the temple with prayers and frequent fastings.

38 As Simeon concluded his prophetic song over the family, Anna mirror-echoed his words in a song of thanksgiving to God for the child. And from that day on, she told everyone in Jerusalem that their Darling, the anticipated Messiah-redeemer has come!

THE REALITY OF BEING IN THE SPIRIT 2-23-25 VIDEO HOLY SPIRIT BY DAVID 2

From the very beginning of creation till now, it was always God‘s intention was that we would be Spirit like He is. To be in the Spirit means you are more conscious of God and the things of God and His presence rather than the things of this world. Just like our Creator, we are Spirit and where the Spirit is there is freedom. John was able to receive by the Holy Spirit Divine revelation beyond ordinary perception. He John received revelation light. Living light in the Spirit. He was no longer on Patmos, but translated into heaven. Through the Spirit we do not sin. It was the Holy Spirit, who came upon Mary to make her pregnant with the very life of Jesus. Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit.

HEROES OF FAITH 2-6-25 VIDEO A SISTERS SACRIFICE

A hero is someone who sacrifices himself for the benefit of others. The Bible is filled with stories and testimonies of men and women who gave all they had for others. Of course, the greatest hero ever recorded is Jesus Christ. He gave everything to save mankind. Let’s take time to recall these awesome stories about heroes in the Bible.

HEB 11:13 These heroes of faith all died believing. Although they did not witness the promise in their lifetime, they saw its fulfillment in the future and embraced the promise by their persuasion. Convinced of its reality; they declared by their way of living that they were mere sojourners and pilgrims in a shadow land whose geography could neither confine nor define their true inheritance.

14 They clearly declared by faith a hinterland beyond their immediate horizon.  

15 They did not regret the country they had left behind. Their faith took them beyond the point of no return.  

16 Their faith saw a greater reality in the spiritual realm than that which they experienced in their present situation; they reached for their true native city designed by God where he himself is proud to be their permanent address. MIRROR

↓↓↓

HEB 11:13  ‘These heroes all died still clinging to their faith, not even receiving all that had been promised them. But they saw beyond the horizon the fulfillment of their promises and gladly embraced it from afar. They all lived their lives on earth as those who belonged to another realm. ‘

14 ‘For clearly, those who live this way are longing for the appearing of a heavenly city. ‘

15 ‘And if their hearts were still remembering what they left behind, they would have found an opportunity to go back. ‘

16  ‘But they couldn’t turn back for their hearts were fixed on what was far greater, that is, the heavenly realm! So because of this God is not ashamed in any way to be called their God, for he has prepared a heavenly city for them.’ TPT

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. Inspired by what faith saw, Abraham was ready to do the ridiculous; to sacrifice his only son, convinced that not even Isaac’s death could nullify the promise that God had made to him.  

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 11:11 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.  MIRROR

HEB 11:23 By faith the parents of Moses did not fear the king’s decree, but hid him from Pharaoh for three months, because they saw a future in the child.  MIRROR

HEB 11:24 It was faith that made Moses realize that he was not the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.

25 By faith he preferred to be associated with the affliction of God’s people rather than with the fleeting privileges of Pharaoh’s house, which did not constitute the true portion of his inheritance.  

26 He was not embarrassed to be associated with the Messianic promise at the expense of the treasures of Egypt. He deliberately looked away from those towards the greater riches of his reward in Christ.  

27 The rage of the King did not scare him when he abandoned Egypt; faith, giving substance to the invisible, made him brave.

28 His faith saw the Paschal Lamb and the sprinkled blood on the door posts as the salvation of the people.

29 By faith they crossed the Red Sea on dry ground, but the Egyptians drowned when they followed them.  MIRROR

HEB 11:31 Rahab the prostitute’s faith saved her even though her house was built in the wall! While all the other houses collapsed around her, her own remained. She welcomed the spies and acknowledged the God who saved them out of Egypt. Her family also was given an equal opportunity to be saved through her faith.  MIRROR

LUKE 1:32 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!

36 Oh, and let me tell you the good news about your aunt Elizabeth! She, who everyone called barren, is now already six months pregnant with a son, in her old age!”

37 Then Gabriel quotes “Every word of God is equal to God’s power and purpose to perform that word!”

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

Josh 10:12 The day God gave the Amorites up to Israel, Joshua spoke to God, with all Israel listening: “Stop, Sun, over Gibeon; Halt, Moon, over Aijalon Valley.”

13 And Sun stopped, Moon stood stock still Until he defeated his enemies. (You can find this written in the Book of Jashar.) The sun stopped in its tracks in mid sky; just sat there all day. MSG

Acts 7:54 At that point they went wild, a rioting mob of catcalls and whistles and invective.

55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, hardly noticed — he only had eyes for God, whom he saw in all his glory with Jesus standing at his side.

56 He said, “Oh! I see heaven wide open and the Son of Man standing at God’s side!”

57 Yelling and hissing, the mob drowned him out. Now in full stampede,

58 they dragged him out of town and pelted him with rocks. The ringleaders took off their coats and asked a young man named Saul to watch them.

59 As the rocks rained down, Stephen prayed, “Master Jesus, take my life.”

60 Then he knelt down, praying loud enough for everyone to hear, “Master, don’t blame them for this sin” — his last words. Then he died. Saul was right there, congratulating the killers. MSG

Rev 12:11They defeated him through the blood of the Lamb and the bold word of their witness. They weren’t in love with themselves; they were willing to die for Christ. MSG

HEB 11:32 And so the list of faith-heroes continues. There is not enough time to tell the stories of Gideon and Barak and Sampson and Jephtah, of David, Samuel and the Prophets.

33 These are they who conquered kingdoms by faith. They accomplished righteousness by that same faith and thus secured the promise. By faith they shut the mouths of lions.  

34 Their faith extinguished powerful fires. They escaped from fierce battles. They were empowered in spite of their frailty. They became heroes in battle and caused hostile armies to flee before them.

35 By faith women received their children back from the dead. Others were severely tortured for their faith and refused to accept release when it was offered them on condition that they would renounce their opinions. To have accepted deliverance then could have saved their lives, but their faith saw a more honorable and glorious resurrection.

36 Still others were mocked and ridiculed for their faith: they were beaten up, shackled and imprisoned.

37 While some were stoned to death, others were sawn asunder with a wood saw. There were yet others who were tempted by the promise of possible release from torture, and then were brutally slaughtered with the sword. Many became wandering refugees with nothing but sheep and goatskins for clothing. They lost everything and were harassed and tormented.

38 The world did not realize their worth. These faith-heroes were often driven from their homes and forced to live in the deserts and mountains; sleeping like animals in caves and holes in the ground.

39 Their lives were trophies to their faith, as the substance of what was visualized by their hope, and the evidence of things their natural eyes never saw.  MIRROR

1 John 3:16  This is how we’ve come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves. MSG

John 15:13 No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends.  AMP

Matt 20:28 That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served — and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage.” MSG

ROM 5:8  Herein is the extremity of God’s love gift: mankind was rotten to the core when Christ died their death.

9 If God could love us that much when we were ungodly and guilty, how much more are we free to realize his love now that we are declared innocent by his blood?(God does not love us more now that we are reconciled to him; we are now free to realize how much he loved us all along!   MIRROR

HEB 9:12 As High Priest, his permission to enter the Holy Place was not secured by the blood of beasts. By his own blood he obtained access on behalf of the human race. Only one act was needed for him to enter the most sacred place of grace and there to institute a ransom of perpetual consequence. MIRROR

HEB 9:14 How much more effective was the blood of Christ, when he presented his own flawless life through the eternal Spirit before God, in order to purge your conscience from its frustration under the cul-de-sac rituals of the law. There is no comparison between a guilt and duty-driven, dead religious system, and the vibrancy of living your life free from a sin-consciousness! This is what the new testament priesthood is all about! MIRROR

HEB 12:1 So now the stage is set for us: all these faith-heroes cheer us on; they are the cloud of witnesses; as it were, like a great multitude of spectators in the amphitheater. This is our moment. As with an athlete who is determined to win, it would be silly to carry any baggage of the old law-system that would weigh one down. Make sure you do not get your feet clogged up with sin-consciousness. Become absolutely streamlined in faith. Run the race of your spiritual life with total persuasion.  

2 Look away from the shadow dispensation of the law and the Prophets and fix your eyes upon Jesus. He is the fountainhead and conclusion of faith. He saw the joy [of mankind’s salvation] when he braved the cross and despised the shame of it. As the executive authority of God [the right hand of the throne of God] he now occupies the highest seat of dominion to endorse mankind’s innocence!

3 Ponder how he overcame all the odds stacked against him; this will boost your soul-energy when you feel exhausted.

4 Would you be willing to die for your faith?  MIRROR

THE POWER OF THE WORD 2-2-25 VIDEO

The Word of God, the Promises He has spoken and it will never fade away. His word will be active until it comes to pass. God is His Word.

Ps 138:1 I WILL confess and praise You [O God] with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing praises to You.

JN 1:13  These are the ones who discover their genesis in God, beyond their natural conception! This is not about our blood lineage or whether we were a wanted- or unwanted-child; this is about our God-begotteness. We are his dream come true and not the invention of our parents. You are indeed the greatest idea that God has ever had!  

14 Suddenly the invisible, eternal Word takes on visible form – the Incarnation, on display in a flesh and blood Person, as in a mirror! In him, and now confirmed in us! The most accurate tangible exhibit of God’s eternal thought finds expression in human life! The Word became a human being; we are his address; he resides in us! He captivates our gaze!

LUKE 8:11 This is what the parable means, God’s conversation with mankind is the seed.

12 The seed on the road means that some hear the word, then because of a typical inferior mindset, it is stolen from their hearts before it germinates and they remain trapped in their unbelief.

13 The rocky soil represent the ones who hear and receive the word with joy; but because they have no root to anchor them, their belief is brief and in times of temptation they fall away.

14 Then there is the seed that landed up amongst thorny bushes; they are the ones who also hear the word, but, in the course of life, the typical distractions that are associated with the pursuit of wealth and pleasures, suffocate them before any fruit matures.

Rom 10:8 So what exactly was Moses saying? The word that saves is right here, as near as the tongue in your mouth, as close as the heart in your chest. It’s the word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching.

9 Say the welcoming word to God — “Jesus is my Master” — embracing, body and soul, God’s work of doing in us what he did in raising Jesus from the dead. That’s it. You’re not “doing” anything; you’re simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for you. That’s salvation.
