THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUTH 9-27-25 VIDEO spoken Word truth 22
Truth is that which the mature revelation of how God thinks and has created things. His Word reflects 100% of how He thinks, feels, speaks, and loves us. Truth is important to Him. The truth is personal. It’s embodied in Jesus. Truth He speaks, would remain the truth for all of eternity. It has the power to set all who hear Him free!
JN 14:6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too.
7 And from now on you will realize that you have seen him and experienced him.” TPT

MATT 17:20 “Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.” MSG

LUKE 6:26 “There’s trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests – look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular.
27 “To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst.
28 When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person.
29 If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it.
30 If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously. MSG

LU 6:35 “I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You’ll never – I promise – regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we’re at our worst.
36 Our Father is kind; you be kind. MSG

JN 3:11 I speak eternal truths about things I know, things I’ve seen and experienced—and still you don’t accept what I reveal.

JN 3:33 Whoever lays a hold of this testimony has the evidence of God’s truth embossed like the impression of a signet ring resonating in their inner consciousness.
34 For the one sent from God communicates God’s gift language from the limitless resource of the Spirit.
35 The theme of this conversation celebrates the extravagant love the Father has for the Son – and in him every gift of God is revealed – his hand extends God’s touch; he is God’s embrace of the human race! MIRROR

JN 4:23 The end of an era has arrived – the future is here! Whatever prophetic values were expressed in external devotional forms and rituals are now eclipsed in true spirit worship from within, face to face with the Father – acknowledging our genesis in him – this is his delight! The Father’s desire is the worshipper more than the worship!
24 God is Spirit and not a holy mountain or a sacred city with man-made shrines! Return to your Source – the Father is our true fountainhead! MIRROR

JN 14:17 Your eternal companion is the Spirit of truth, whom those trapped in the sense-ruled world, just cannot get to grips with! Their visual horizon is veiled, and they are unable to understand what they cannot see. But, [in your acquaintance with me], you are familiar with this seamless, intimate union, and the Spirit’s continued presence within you. MIRROR

JN 15:26 But when the close Companion comes, who I shall send to you from the immediate presence of the Father, the Spirit of the truth who originates and proceeds out of the Father, this One will confirm everything about me. MIRROR

JN 16:13 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.

JN 18:37 Pilate then said, “So you are a king?” Jesus replied, “You say that I am a king. My destiny was to be born in the flesh and for this purpose have I come into the world to bear testimony to the truth. Everyone who recognizes their true origin, hears my voice.”
38 Pilate then asked him, “What is truth?” Without giving him a chance to respond, he went outside again to face the Sanhedrin and said to them, “I find no cause for any accusation in this man.”
39 But since it is custom that I should release one of your prisoners during your festive time, would you be happy for me to pardon the King of the Jews for this Passover?”
40 They shouted back, “No, not this one, but Barabbas!” Barabbas was a Jewish freedom fighter, probably the leader of the band which included the other two who were crucified with Jesus. MIRROR
Pilot believe truth is relative. For him it was truth, but Jesus was innocent, but for the Jews, they believed he was guilty. The truth, Jesus spoke of, would not change from situation the situation.

MATT 5:11 “Not only that – count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable.
12 You can be glad when that happens – give a cheer, even! – for though they don’t like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble. MSG

1 COR 5:20 We’re Christ’s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God’s work of making things right between them. We’re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you. MSG

EPH 1:13 And because of him, when you who are not Jews heard the revelation of truth, you believed in the wonderful news of salvation. Now we have been stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit.
14 He is given to us like an engagement ring, as the first installment of what’s coming! He is our hope-promise of a future inheritance which seals us until we have all of redemption’s promises and experience complete freedom—all for the supreme glory and honor of God! TPT

1 JN 4:6 But we come from God and belong to God. Anyone who knows God understands us and listens. The person who has nothing to do with God will, of course, not listen to us. This is another test for telling the Spirit of Truth from the spirit of deception. MSG

2 JN 1:1 My dear congregation, I, your pastor, love you in very truth. And I’m not alone – everyone who knows the Truth

THE POWER OF FORGIVNESS 9-19-25 VIDEO forgive her sons killer

There is great power and freedom in forgiving those who have hurt you. The Greek word most often translated for forgiveness is the word APHIEMI, meaning to send forth or way to let go from our attention. To let go to God. He will get rid of it. Jesus cast out our sins into the sea of forgetfulness. When God forgives He chooses never to remember our sins again. When God forgave it was Jonah was angry about it. We’re forgiven And carry forgiveness wherever we go.  

Mic 7:18 Where is the god who can compare with you —  wiping the slate clean of guilt, Turning a blind eye, a deaf ear, to the past sins of your purged and precious people? You don’t nurse your anger and don’t stay angry long, for mercy is your specialty. That’s what you love most.

19 And compassion is on its way to us. You’ll stamp out our wrongdoing. You’ll sink our sins to the bottom of the ocean. MSG

Ps 130:3 If you, God, kept records on wrongdoings, who would stand a chance?

4 As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit, and that’s why you’re worshiped. MSG

Ps 103:12 And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins.

13 As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear him. MSG

Matt 9:2 They were hardly out of the boat when some men carried a paraplegic on a stretcher and set him down in front of them. Jesus, impressed by their bold belief, said to the paraplegic, “Cheer up, son. I forgive your sins.”

3 Some religion scholars whispered, “Why, that’s blasphemy!”

4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, and said, “Why this gossipy whispering?

5 Which do you think is simpler: to say, ‘I forgive your sins,’ or, ‘Get up and walk’?

6 Well, just so it’s clear that I’m the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both. . . .” At this he turned to the paraplegic and said, “Get up. Take your bed and go home.”

7 And the man did it.

8 The crowd was awestruck, amazed and pleased that God had authorized Jesus to work among them this way. MSG

LU 7:44 He then turned to the woman and said to Simon, “While you are both equally debt free and neither of you are under any obligation, look at her, consider how much affection and love she bestows on me! When I arrived at your house, no water was given me for my feet; but this lady washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.  

45 You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but since I arrived, she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet with affection!

46 You did not even anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with fragrant ointment!

47 Do you now see what grace means? However much out of sync with her blueprint she was and however many her distortions were, she had been perfectly freed of all! To be forgiven means that whatever your sins were, they no longer define you! They were and never can be who you really are!

much she loved me! He who does not understand the full extent of forgiveness, is like the man who shows only polite appreciation.

Rom 5:20 All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn’t, and doesn’t, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it’s sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.

8 Faith sees us joined in his death and alive with him in his resurrection.

9 It is plain for all to see that death lost its dominion over Christ in his resurrection; he need not ever die again to prove a further point.

QUANTUM ALMOST ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN 9-14-25 by Mary Dorian

Quantum is defined as a sudden dramatic adventure for almost anything can happen. Change can be seen quickly in God‘s due season. God breaks through. God announced let there be light and light verse fourth. William Ward asked how did you create the world? By your wisdom? God said I use my imagination and then my wisdom. When God talks about greater works, he’s talking about our imagination. Quantum entanglement. Electrons once joined together, cannot be separated, even if they are distance from each other. Distance is not a problem and quantum.

Heb 6:1So come on, let’s leave the preschool fingerpainting exercises on Christ and get on with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths are in place: turning your back on “salvation by self-help” and turning in trust toward God;

HEB 6:1 Consequently, as difficult as it may seem, you ought to divorce yourselves from your sentimental attachment to the foreshadowing doctrine of the Messiah, which was designed to carry us like a vessel over the ocean of prophetic dispensation into the completeness of the fulfilled promise. A mind shift from attempts to impress God by your behavior, to realizing the faithfulness of God, is fundamental. There is no life left in the old system. It is dead and gone; you have to move on.  

2 All the Jewish teachings about ceremonial washings [baptisms], the laying on of hands, and all teachings pertaining to a sin consciousness, including the final resurrection of the dead in order to face judgment, are no longer relevant.

THE REALITY OF HEAVEN 9-7-25 by Mary Dorian
Heaven is a real place. It is real as salvation or receiving the Holy Spirit. It is not a mystery. It is a holy beautiful place. The church age lies between events. It begin when Christ placed his blood on the altar. After His resurrection in heaven. This church age is when He returns to catch away His church to be His bride. We belong to the Father. Our home is heaven. Heaven is filled with the sounds of music. In the beginning, God created the heavens and filled them with music. God enjoys music. In the early days of creation, the morning, stars, angels, sang together. Music focus was the worship of God. Music is a gift from God. Heaven has gates. Heaven has windows. Heaven has bread.
The Scriptures speak thousands upon thousands of angels joyfully being joined by the spirits of the righteous that have been made perfect. There is no lapse, no timeout or reformatory or probation. The moment believers take their last breath on earth. They have their first glimpse of heaven.
Jn 14:2 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.
3 The proportions of what I will accomplish are astonishing! I will 1prepare 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.

Paradise-Jesus shared this with the thief on the cross. The Greek word for paradise refers to a garden. Maybe like the garden of Eden except not located on the Earth, but in the third heaven. John Wesley called paradise, the porch of Heaven. It’s a first stage of eternal rest. It’s not the final version of heaven nor the ultimate experience of Home. It’s a gathering place for the saved until Christ comes for his children. Paradise is not the dominion of the dead but the land of the super abundant life. It’s not a foggy place of spooky spirits, but a joyous community of Saints living in eternal states. We’re looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth. Until then this much is clear, dead believers are not dead. They’re enjoying the presence of God as nothing unholy can dwell in God‘s presence. Then we can be sure that they have been made holy. You won’t be sleeping. You’ll be wide awake.

THE POWER OF COVENANT PRAYER 9-5-25 VIDEO
It is right to pray for the Lord to bless and protect our lives. The Father is a covenant keeping God. A covenant with the Father takes us further into our goal of Christ likeness. A covenant is a solemn pledge, a binding agreement that establishes a relationship between two or more parties and with God. It is more than just a promise. It is a commitment. God remembers His covenant when we pray. The rainbow is a sign of God‘s covenant. God‘s covenant promises never run out. He does not change. He keeps His promises. For the body of Christ God did make covenant promises, through Christ. It is for the kingdom. The whole world can join.
