DIVINE HEALTH IS YOUR INHERITANCE 7-27-25 VIDEO
Healing belongs to you. It’s part of your salvation. God desires our wholeness. Jesus paid for our completeness with His blood. We believe we are to live in healing and give it away to others. When the bible speaks of Jesus, it talks about Him going about doing , good, especially healing those oppressed of the devil. Healing and health are part of the life He has given us. The abundant life is a result of God now living inside us. No sin or sickness has any place in us. There were many ways Jesus brought about healing to the sick. He was totally dependent on doing what He saw the Father do. Sometimes He laid hands on people sometimes He commanded for them to get up and walk. Jesus spoke a word over different ones. He cast out demons. He used his saliva. We have the same Holy Spirit in us so we can walk in perfect health and heal those who are in need of healing by our faith in Jesus.
Mal 4:2 But for you, sunrise! The sun of righteousness will dawn on those who honor my name, healing radiating from its wings. You will be bursting with energy, like colts frisky and frolicking. MSG

Isa 53:4 But the fact is, it was our pains he carried — our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us. We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures.
5 But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him — our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises we get healed. MSG

ISA 53:4 Yet he was the one who carried our sicknesses and endured the torment of our sufferings. We viewed him as one who was being punished for something he himself had done, as one who was struck down by God and brought low.
5 But it was because of our rebellious deeds that he was pierced and because of our sins that he was crushed. He endured the punishment that made us completely whole, and in his wounding we found our healing. TPT

Luke 9:10 The apostles returned and reported on what they had done. Jesus took them away, off by themselves, near the town called Bethsaida.
11 But the crowds got wind of it and followed. Jesus graciously welcomed them and talked to them about the kingdom of God. Those who needed healing, he healed. MSG

Acts 10:38 Then Jesus arrived from Nazareth, anointed by God with the Holy Spirit, ready for action. He went through the country helping people and healing everyone who was beaten down by the Devil. He was able to do all this because God was with him.
39 “And we saw it, saw it all, everything he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem where they killed him, hung him from a cross.
40 But in three days God had him up, alive, and out where he could be seen.
41 Not everyone saw him — he wasn’t put on public display. Witnesses had been carefully handpicked by God beforehand — us! We were the ones, there to eat and drink with him after he came back from the dead.
42 He commissioned us to announce this in public, to bear solemn witness that he is in fact the One whom God destined as Judge of the living and dead.
43 But we’re not alone in this. Our witness that he is the means to forgiveness of sins is backed up by the witness of all the prophets.” MSG

JN 10:10 The thief “shepherd” has no other agenda but to steal, kill and he couldn’t care less if he lost some sheep. I have come with the sole purpose for you to have life in its most complete form. MIRROR

JN 5:19 Jesus explained to them with utmost certainty that whatever they see the Son does, mirrors the Father – he does not act independent of his Father – the Son’s gaze is fixed in order to accurately interpret and repeat what he sees his Father does! The one reveals the other without compromise or distraction!
20 For the Father and the Son are best of friends! They have no secrets; the Father gladly lets his Son in on everything he does and will continue to show him works of most significant proportions, which will astound you!
21 For just as the Father awakens people from their death-sleep and revitalizes them with Zoe-life, even so it pleases the Son to awaken people to life! MIRROR

JN 5:8 Jesus said to him, “Arise! Pick up your bed and walk!”
9 And at once the man became whole and picked up his bed and began to walk! Now this was on the Sabbath day.
10 The Jews were immediately offended and rebuked the man for picking up his bed on a day where no work was allowed according to their law!
11 He answered them, “The man who healed me told me to pick up my bed and walk!”

Matt 8:5 As Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a Roman captain came up in a panic and said,
6 “Master, my servant is sick. He can’t walk. He’s in terrible pain.”
7 Jesus said, “I’ll come and heal him.”
8 “Oh, no,” said the captain. “I don’t want to put you to all that trouble. Just give the order and my servant will be fine.
9 I’m a man who takes orders and gives orders. I tell one soldier, ‘Go,’ and he goes; to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 Taken aback, Jesus said, “I’ve yet to come across this kind of simple trust in Israel, the very people who are supposed to know all about God and how he works. MSG

Mark 9:20 They brought him. When the demon saw Jesus, it threw the boy into a seizure, causing him to writhe on the ground and foam at the mouth.
21 He asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been going on?” “Ever since he was a little boy.
22 Many times it pitches him into fire or the river to do away with him. If you can do anything, do it. Have a heart and help us!”
23 Jesus said, “If? There are no ‘ifs’ among believers. Anything can happen.”
24 No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the father cried, “Then I believe. Help me with my doubts!”
25 Seeing that the crowd was forming fast, Jesus gave the vile spirit its marching orders: “Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you — Out of him, and stay out!”
26 Screaming, and with much thrashing about, it left. The boy was pale as a corpse, so people started saying, “He’s dead.”
27 But Jesus, taking his hand, raised him. The boy stood up. MSG

Matt 9:35 Then Jesus made a circuit of all the towns and villages. He taught in their meeting places, reported kingdom news, and healed their diseased bodies, healed their bruised and hurt lives. MSG

Matt 12:22 Next a poor demon-afflicted wretch, both blind and deaf, was set down before him. Jesus healed him, gave him his sight and hearing. MSG

Luke 7:21 In the next two or three hours Jesus healed many from diseases, distress, and evil spirits. To many of the blind he gave the gift of sight.

23 “Is this what you were expecting? Then count yourselves fortunate!” MSG

Matt 4:23 From there he went all over Galilee. He used synagogues for meeting places and taught people the truth of God. God’s kingdom was his theme — that beginning right now they were under God’s government, a good government! He also healed people of their diseases and of the bad effects of their bad lives.
24 Word got around the entire Roman province of Syria. People brought anybody with an ailment, whether mental, emotional, or physical. Jesus healed them, one and all. MSG

Luke 6:19 Everyone in the crowd was pressing in to touch him, because power was surging from him and he healed them all, one by one.
20 Finally, having concluded his healing of the multitudes, Jesus lifted up his eyes and spoke to his followers, “To be reduced to the most extreme state of poverty, does not define you. Disaster is not the fruit of fate or karma! The blessing of knowing, that the Kingdom of God belongs to you personally, and that it is oozing from you, is the essence of your wellbeing and identity!” MIRROR

Mark 6:12 Then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different;
13 right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits. MSG

Rom 6:22 But now that you’ve found you don’t have to listen to sin tell you what to do, and have discovered the delight of listening to God telling you, what a surprise! A whole, healed, put-together life right now, with more and more of life on the way!
23 Work hard for sin your whole life and your pension is death. But God’s gift is real life, eternal life, delivered by Jesus, our Master. MSG

THE FATHER 7-25-25 VIDEO THE FATHERS BLESSING 22
Of all the manifestations of Yahweh in the Bible, the most honored one is God, our heavenly Father. God loves families. He’s the Father to the fatherless. Although we may have an earthly father, we have a heavenly Father. His name is Abba. He’s our ABBA and in Hebrew the word means, dear father or daddy. We are wrapped in the shelter of His wings. Jesus and the Father know each other so well, with such intimacy that Jesus came to show us the Father.
1 JN 3:1 Consider the amazing love the Father lavished upon us; this is our defining moment: we began in the agape of God – the engineer of the universe is our Father! So it’s no wonder that the performance-based systems of this world just cannot see this! Because they do not recognize their origin in God, they feel indifferent towards anyone who does!
2 Beloved, we know that we are children of God to begin with, which means that there can be no future surprises; his manifest likeness is already mirrored in us! Our sameness cannot be compromised or contradicted; our gaze will confirm exactly who he is – and who we are. MIRROR

2 Cor 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source] of every comfort (consolation and encouragement),
4 Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction), so that we may also be able to comfort (console and encourage) those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort (consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted (consoled and encouraged) by God.

JAMES 1:17 Without exception God’s gifts are only good; it’s perfection cannot be flawed.

18 We were bought by the Word of truth. Our true origin is preserved in God’s resolve. It was according to the Father’s delight that he birthed us: giving authentic, incarnate expression to the Word. Just like the first fruits mirror the harvest, so we mirror the conclusion of his workmanship in the core of our being. MIRROR

2 Peter 1:17 Jesus resplendent with light from God the Father as the voice of Majestic Glory spoke: “This is my Son, marked by my love, focus of all my delight.” MSG

REDEEMED 7-20-25 VIDEO RWANDA REDEEMED 2

You are on a journey! Since the moment you receive Jesus, your redeemer, the Holy Spirit has been teaching you what it means to be redeemed. So you can live your life on the Earth as it is in heaven. Redeemed means to be brought back, freed from the consequences of sin through the sacrifice Jesus paid. He paid with his blood.

COL 1:20 He initiated the reconciliation of all things to himself. Through the blood of the cross God restored the original harmony. His reign of peace now extends to every visible thing upon the earth as well as those invisible things which are in the heavenly realm.    

21 Your indifferent mindset alienated you from God into a lifestyle of annoyances, hardships, and labors. Yet he has now fully reconciled and restored you to your original design.  

22 He accomplished this in dying our death in a human body; he fully represented us in order to fully present us again in blameless innocence, face-to-face with God; with no sense of guilt, suspicion, regret, or accusation; all charges against us are officially cancelled.   MIRROR

Col 1:20 Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe — people and things, animals and atoms — get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the Cross.

21 You yourselves are a case study of what he does. At one time you all had your backs turned to God, thinking rebellious thoughts of him, giving him trouble every chance you got.

22 But now, by giving himself completely at the Cross, actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God’s side and put your lives together, whole and holy in his presence. MSG

Gal 3:13 Christ redeemed us from that self-defeating, cursed life by absorbing it completely into himself. Do you remember the Scripture that says, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”? That is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the Cross: He became a curse, and at the same time dissolved the curse.

14 And now, because of that, the air is cleared and we can see that Abraham’s blessing is present and available for non-Jews, too. We are all able to receive God’s life, his Spirit, in and with us by believing — just the way Abraham received it.  MSG

GAL 3:13  Yet, Christ paid the full price to set us free from the curse of the law. He absorbed the curse completely as he became a curse in our place. For it is written:

“Everyone who is hung upon a tree is cursed.”

14 Jesus Christ dissolved the curse from our lives, so that in him all the blessings of Abraham can be poured out upon gentiles. And now through faith we receive the promised Holy Spirit who lives in us.  TPT

As the parents of the child Jesus brought him in to carry out the rituals of the Law,28 Simeon took him into his arms and blessed God:29 God, you can now release your servant; release me in peace as you promised.30 With my own eyes I’ve seen your salvation;31 it’s now out in the open for everyone to see:32 A God-revealing light to the non-Jewish nations, and of glory for your people Israel.   MSG
Luke 2:36 Anna the prophetess was also there, a daughter of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was by now a very old woman. She had been married seven years37 and a widow for eighty-four. She never left the Temple area, worshiping night and day with her fastings and prayers.38 At the very time Simeon was praying, she showed up, broke into an anthem of praise to God, and talked about the child to all who were waiting expectantly for the freeing of Jerusalem.

Rom 5:12 You know the story of how Adam landed us in the dilemma we’re in — first sin, then death, and no one exempt from either sin or death.13 That sin disturbed relations with God in everything and everyone, but the extent of the disturbance was not clear until God spelled it out in detail to Moses. So death, this huge abyss separating us from God, dominated the landscape from Adam to Moses.14 Even those who didn’t sin precisely as Adam did by disobeying a specific command of God still had to experience this termination of life, this separation from God. But Adam, who got us into this, also points ahead to the One who will get us out of it.15 Yet the rescuing gift is not exactly parallel to the death-dealing sin. If one man’s sin put crowds of people at the dead-end abyss of separation from God, just think what God’s gift poured through one man, Jesus Christ, will do!16 There’s no comparison between that death-dealing sin and this generous, life-giving gift. The verdict on that one sin was the death sentence; the verdict on the many sins that followed was this wonderful life sentence.17 If death got the upper hand through one man’s wrongdoing, can you imagine the breathtaking recovery life makes, sovereign life, in those who grasp with both hands this wildly extravagant life-gift, this grand setting-everything-right, that the one man Jesus Christ provides?  MSG

LET FREEDOM RING 7-4-25  VIDEO FREEDOM SPOKEN WORD

Today we celebrate as a nation our freedom. Freedom to be able to speak and act according to our values and beliefs. Through our history, we’ve been a free nation. Many people have sacrificed their lives for freedom. For us who know Jesus, we remember today as freedom that was purchased by His blood.
