IT IS FINISHED  9-25-26  VIDEO WHEN JESUS SAID

The last word spoken by Jesus on the cross. The word Use is TELTELASTAI, which means everything is now done. It is completed in full. The debt of human sin is fully paid forever. Jesus fulfilled his destiny and fulfilled scripture. Everything is now completed. When Jesus died on the cross He said it is finished. Jesus completed the works of salvation, redemption, healing, deliverance, and all that was needed to reconcile us with God to give us new life. Through one man, Adam, death and sin through the world through Jesus and the cross the fall of man was overcome.

JN 19:28 With this Jesus, realizing that all things are now fully accomplished and that what was written was to be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!”

29 There was a jar filled with vinegar in which someone dipped a sponge attached to a branch of hyssop and lifted it to his mouth.  

30 When Jesus had taken the vinegar he said, “It is finished!” He then bowed his head and handed over the spirit.  MIRROR

LUKE 23:34 Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them; they don’t know what they’re doing.”

 MSG

Heb 9:12 He went once for all into the [Holy of] Holies [of heaven], not by virtue of the blood of goats and calves [by which to make reconciliation between God and man], but His own blood, having found and secured a complete redemption (an everlasting release for us). AMP

HEB 10:1 For the law presented to us a faint shadow, outlining the promise of the blessings anticipated in the coming of Christ, even detailing its future significance. The mere sketch however, could never be confused with the actual object that it represented. The annual sacrificial rites as shadow of the eventual object would always leave the worshipper feeling inadequate and be a reminder year after year of the sinfulness of mankind.

2 Had it been possible to present the perfect offering that had the power to successfully remove any trace of a sin-consciousness, then the sacrificial system would surely have ceased to be relevant.

3 But in the very repetition of these ritual sacrifices the awareness of guilt is reinforced rather than removed.

4 The conclusion is clear: animal sacrifices failed to remove anyone’s sinfulness or their sin-consciousness.

5 So when Jesus, the Messiah, arrives as the fulfillment of all the types and shadows, he quotes Psalm 40:6-8, and says, “In sacrifices and offerings God takes no pleasure; but you have ordained my incarnation!”

 6 None of the prescribed offerings and sacrifices, including burnt offerings and sin offerings were your request.

7 “Then I said, I read in your book what you wrote about me; so here I am, I have come to fulfill my destiny.”

8 Having said what he did in the above quote, that the prescribed offerings and sacrifices were neither his desire nor delight, he condemned the entire sacrificial system upheld by the law.

9 Also by saying, “I am commissioned to fulfil your will,” he announces the final closure of the first in order to introduce the second.  

10 So, by this fulfilled will, in the mind of God and by his resolution he declares mankind immediately sanctified through one sacrifice; the presentation of the body of Jesus Christ.

11 Every priest continually repeats the same daily rituals and sacrifices, knowing that they have always proved incapable of removing sins.

12 But now we have an exception. In complete contrast to the previous priesthood, this priest offered a single sacrifice of perpetual efficacy for sins. To celebrate the perfection of what was attained through his single sacrifice, he sat down as the executive authority of God.  

13 His seat of authority is established upon the fully realized, prophetic expectation that all his enemies would be subdued. He would most certainly stand in triumph with his feet on their necks.

14 By that one perfect sacrifice he has perfectly sanctified sinful mankind forever.

EPH 2:3 We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It’s a wonder God didn’t lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us.

4 Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love,

5 he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us!

6 Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.

7 Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.  MSG

HEB 1:1 Going through a long line of prophets, God has been addressing our ancestors in different ways for centuries.

2 Recently he spoke to us directly through his Son. By his Son God, created the world in the beginning, and it will all belong to the Son at the end.

3 This Son perfectly mirrors God, and is stamped with God’s nature. He holds everything together by what he says – powerful words! The Son Is Higher than Angels

4 far higher than any angel in rank and rule.   MSG

2 COR 5:19 God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing.

58 With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort.   MSG

GAL 2:2O Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. MSG

GAL 2:20 My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine! TPT

ROM 8:15 This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?”

16 God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children.

17 And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us – an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!   MSG

ROM 5:15 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

ISA 53:5 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

1 COR 1:29 That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God.

30 Everything that we have – right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start – comes from God by way of Jesus Christ.

31 That’s why we have the saying, “If you’re going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God.”    MSG

Heb 13:21  Now put you together, provide you with everything you need to please him, Make us into what gives him most pleasure, by means of the sacrifice of Jesus, the Messiah. All glory to Jesus forever and always! Oh, yes, yes, yes. MSG

On that basis alone are you able to now permanently rid yourselves of the old leaven mindset of tolerating sin, which was our reasoning under the law-system! 

8 Our daily life is now the extension of the Passover celebration; feasting on sustained innocence!

1 John 1:9  Our conversation takes on a brand new dynamic when we take sides with what God believes about us. So, instead of telling God about the detail of our sin, we remind ourselves about the detail of our redemption. God doesn’t need the information, we do. God’s faithfulness and righteousness is the basis of our forgiveness and cleansing from every distortion. Jesus removed every bit of condemning evidence against us.  MIRROR

1 John 2:1 My darling little children, the reason I write these things to you is so that you will not believe a lie about yourselves. If anyone does believe a distorted image to be their reality, we have Jesus Christ who defines our likeness face to face with the Father. He is our parakletos, the one who endorses our true identity, being both the source and the reflection of the Father’s image in us. MIRROR

1 John 5:18 What was made absolutely clear [in the incarnate Christ] is that whoever is begotten of God cannot be a distorted image of God. Likeness begets likeness. Jesus did not come to reveal the otherness of God, but his likeness in human form. There is nothing wrong with mankind’s design, neither with their salvation. To see one’s true revealed and now redeemed genesis in God, is to treasure the person you really are by his divine engineering and to remain unstained in your thoughts by the I am not-Tree system. The idea that I am not the expression of his image and likeness can no longer attach itself to my thoughts, neither do I allow it to ignite its destructive cycle of self-righteousness or depression. The system of this world is based on a mentality of separation, which is marked by hardships annoyances and labors. It becomes an all consuming and most exhausting lifestyle of having to prove oneself in every relationship and a futile striving for recognition; with its inevitable results of disappointment, condemnation, rejection and pretense.

8 Our daily life is now the extension of the Passover celebration; feasting on sustained innocence! The old sin conscious-system, the leaven-mind set (always anticipating and tolerating sin), is replaced with an understanding of our unleavened innocence, just like when a diamond is 1scrutinized in the rays of the sun to confirm its flawless integrity.  MIRROR

1 John 1:9  Our conversation takes on a brand new dynamic when we take sides with what God believes about us. So, instead of telling God about the detail of our sin, we remind ourselves about the detail of our redemption. God doesn’t need the information, we do. God’s faithfulness and righteousness is the basis of our forgiveness and cleansing from every distortion. Jesus removed every bit of condemning evidence against us.  MIRROR

1 John 2:1 My darling little children, the reason I write these things to you is so that you will not believe a lie about yourselves. If anyone does believe a distorted image to be their reality, we have Jesus Christ who defines our likeness face to face with the Father. He is our parakletos, the one who endorses our true identity, being both the source and the reflection of the Father’s image in us. MIRROR

1 John 5:18 What was made absolutely clear [in the incarnate Christ] is that whoever is begotten of God cannot be a distorted image of God. Likeness begets likeness. Jesus did not come to reveal the otherness of God, but his likeness in human form. There is nothing wrong with mankind’s design, neither with their salvation. To see one’s true revealed and now redeemed genesis in God, is to treasure the person you really are by his divine engineering and to remain unstained in your thoughts by the I am not-Tree system. The idea that I am not the expression of his image and likeness can no longer attach itself to my thoughts, neither do I allow it to ignite its destructive cycle of self-righteousness or depression. The system of this world is based on a mentality of separation, which is marked by hardships annoyances and labors. It becomes an all consuming and most exhausting lifestyle of having to prove oneself in every relationship and a futile striving for recognition; with its inevitable results of disappointment, condemnation, rejection and pretense. MIRROR

JN 8:10 When Jesus stood up again, there was no-one there except the woman. So Jesus asked her, “Where are they? Has no-one condemned you?”

JN 5:9 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!”

12 They were very keen to know who this man was.

13 But the man didn’t know who it was who healed him since Jesus already left unnoticed and there were throngs of people around.

THE NEAR FUTURE by MARY DORIAN 9-13-26 VIDEO

The End Times: A Vision by Paul Cain 

Paul has had several specific burdens and prophetic expectations for the Body of Christ today and in the days to come. He has had reoccurring visions concerning the end times, which he believes are rapidly approaching. About 30 years ago the Lord gave Paul a vision that has occurred to Paul more than 100 times and still reoccurs to this day.

It is a vision of the last days when sports stadiums all over the United States are filled with thousands of people. In this vision, people are being healed and miracles are happening to thousands in the name of Jesus Christ. People are turning to the Lord in droves and the whole nation is in revival. It seemed the whole earth was turning to Christ.

Television news reporters are broadcasting stories of resurrections and miracle healings. None of the secular reporters could get near the men on the platform. They did not know who the men were. Paul described them as “almost faceless men.” He hears a TV anchorman saying, “There are no sporting events to report tonight because all the stadiums, ball parks and arenas are being used for large revival meetings and are filled with people crying, ”Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord.”

In these visions, Paul saw these men minister for three days and nights without food, water or change of clothing. Supernatural strength enabled them to continue for these long periods. In the vision, Paul is standing at the crossroads of life and sees a billboard that says, “Joel’s army now in training.” People are being trained to walk in obedience to Jesus. They have learned patience and endurance, have the power of God and having done all, they know how to stand against the enemy.

“They will have the mind of Christ,” Paul said. “They will partake of the heavenly calling and be a new breed, God’s dread champions.” Those ministries will be filled with such passion for Jesus and the power of the Spirit that the host of darkness will dread their impact.

Paul said in the midst of the Laodicean church age of lethargy and apathy, that God was preparing in hiddenness an army to pull down enemy strongholds, and go forth in the power of God and have pure and undefiled religion.

“He’s going to do this with a people who have stripped themselves and separated themselves from the world, the flesh and the devil,” Paul said. “They will realize the end time is here and that things are in a mess and things at the end time are different. Just as it required total sacrifice on the part of the disciples to begin this thing, it will require an equal commitment from us to complete the task in the end times. Joe’s mighty army, as described in Joel Ch. 2 is the army of God – not a wicked army, as some have thought. They are the ones with ‘feet of iron not mixed with clay’, with the wisdom of God alone, not imitators of other men of God. Some of the superstars of the Church will fall. The Lord will have an army of holy anointed vessels to usher in His kingdom so that no one man can take credit for it. It will be to the glory of God alone.”

~ This vision was printed from Grace City Report Special Prophetic Edition Fall 1989 ~ written by Terry Sullivant ~

Hebrews 10:19 And now we are brothers and sisters in God’s family because of the blood of Jesus, and he welcomes us to come into the most holy sanctuary in the heavenly realm—boldly and without hesitation.

20 For he has dedicated a new, life-giving way for us to approach God. For just as the veil was torn in two, Jesus’ body was torn open to give us free and fresh access to him!

21 And since we now have a magnificent High Priest to welcome us into God’s house, 22 we come closer to God and approach him with an open heart, fully convinced that nothing will keep us at a distance from him. For our hearts have been sprinkled with blood to remove impurity, and we have been freed from an accusing conscience. Now we are clean, unstained, and presentable to God inside and out!

23 So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!

24 Discover creative ways to encourage others and to motivate them toward acts of compassion, doing beautiful works as expressions of love.

25 This is not the time to pull away and neglect meeting together, as some have formed the habit of doing. In fact, we should come together even more frequently, eager to encourage and urge each other onward as we anticipate that day dawning.  TPT

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.

2 This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for.

3 Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen. TPT

Hebrews 12:1 As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us.

2 We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!

3 So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures.

4 After all, you have not yet reached the point of sweating blood in your opposition to sin.

5 And have you forgotten his encouraging words spoken to you as his children? He said, “My child, don’t underestimate the value of the discipline and training of the Lord God, or get depressed when he has to correct you.

6 For the Lord’s training of your life is the evidence of his faithful love.  And when he draws you to himself, it proves you are his delightful child.”  TPT

Hebrews 12:1 So now the stage is set for us: all these faith-heroes cheer us on; they are the 1cloud 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?

5 The word in Scripture that confirms your genesis in God addresses you as sons, “My son do not undervalue the 1loving instruction of the Lord; neither become despondent when you are corrected.”  

6 For every instruction is inspired by his love, even as a father would teach his sons with affection, though it might seem harsh at the time. Mirror

Psalm 133:1-3 How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity!

2 It’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.

3 This 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

Psalm 133:1 How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along!

2 It’s like costly anointing oil flowing down head and beard, Flowing down Aaron’s beard, flowing down the collar of his priestly robes.

3 It’s like the dew on Mount Hermon flowing down the slopes of Zion. Yes, that’s where God commands the blessing, ordains eternal life.  Message

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO 9-11-25

VIDEO THOUGHTS ON TRIALS  

In times of anxiety or worry, you need to be patient. We wait on God who goes before us and makes the way clear. We can count on God. We can surrender to him. He knows the way out. Keep a positive attitude. Your strength will be recovered. Be patient what God has promised he will bring to pass wait patiently. Put your expectations in God, not in circumstances.

JAMES 1:2 Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides.

3 You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors.

4 So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

5 If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it.

6 Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves.

7 Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way,   MSG

JAMES 1:12 Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.  MSG

ROM 5:2 Jesus is God’s face to face grace embrace of the entire human race. So here we are, standing tall in the joyful bliss of our redeemed innocence! We are God’s dream come true! This was God’s idea all along!  

3 Our blissful boasting in him remains uninterrupted in times of trouble; we know that pressure reveals patience. Tribulation does not have what it takes to nullify what hope knows we have!

4 Patience provides proof of every positive expectation.  

5 This kind of hope does not disappoint; the gift of the Holy Spirit completes our every expectation and ignites the love of God within us like an artesian well.  MIRROR

REV 3:10 You have greatly valued the prophetic word which came to fulfillment in what I endured. I will also guard you with great care, empowering you to stand strong in the midst of the troubled times that are about to come upon the inhabited world to scrutinize the dwellers of the earth.  

11 Do not let tough times make me seem distant from you! I am at hand – see my nearness, not my absence. And don’t let temporal setbacks diminish your own authority either! Remember that you call the shots; you wear the crown. My crown endorses your crown.   MIRROR

ROM 12:11 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.

2 Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.  MSG

PHIL 4:6 Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.

7 Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

8 Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious – the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.

9 Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.  MSG

ROM 8:25 In the meantime our expectation takes us beyond visual confirmation into a place of patient contentment.

HAB 2:3 This vision-message is a witness pointing to what’s coming. It aches for the coming – it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It’s on its way. It will come right on time. MSG

JAMES 5:7 Meanwhile, friends, wait patiently for the Master’s Arrival. You see farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the rain do its slow but sure work.

8 Be patient like that. Stay steady and strong. The Master could arrive at any time. MSG

PS 62:5 God, the one and only – I’ll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from him, so why not?

6 He’s solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle: I’m set for life.  MSG

Israel  Ex 1:12 But the more [the Egyptians] oppressed them, the more they multiplied and expanded, so that [the Egyptians] were vexed and alarmed because of the Israelites.

1 Cor 10:13  No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it. MSG

Phil 1:28 And do not [for a moment] be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries, for such [constancy and fearlessness] will be a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of [their impending] destruction, but [a sure token and evidence] of your deliverance and salvation, and that from God.

29 For you have been granted [the privilege] for Christ’s sake not only to believe in (adhere to, rely on, and trust in) Him, but also to suffer in His behalf.

THE POWER AND PURE AUTHORITY OF THE WORD 9-6-26 VIDEO

The power and pure authority of the word of God. When the king speaks the word, it cannot be overturned. It is as good as done. When heaven touches earth. It can never be reversed. It is kingdom come. There is only one sovereign and supreme. Every word he speaks is holy. People are hungry for the word of God. I just wanted to make it clear, that absolutely no word God has spoken, and you have embraced as your own, will fail you. It will go forward to accomplish what God has said for it to do. The word of God will never fail. Jesus said that this is a generation of people that are alive now. On earth as it is in heaven. The future in times group race or family line as to the events that will unfold rapidly once they start. And this generation of believers will survive throughout history and see the return of Jesus so be it Lord.

3 About the time everybody’s walking around complacently, congratulating each other – “We’ve sure got it made! Now we can take it easy!” – suddenly everything will fall apart. It’s going to come as suddenly and inescapably as birth pangs to a pregnant woman.

 4 But friends, you’re not in the dark, so how could you be taken off guard by any of this?

5 You’re sons of Light, daughters of Day. We live under wide open skies and know where we stand.  MSG

MATT 6:9-13 With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are.

10 Set the world right; Do what’s best – as above, so below.

11 Keep us alive with three square meals.

12 Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.

13 Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes.  MSG
