TREASURES IN HEAVEN 2-19-24 VIDEO YOUR VALUE TO GOD DAN

When Jesus is our treasure, we will commit our hearts resources, money time and talents to the spreading of the Gospel. The treasure of the Father has is awaiting us beyond anything we can think of or hope for. We are His treasure. In us who believe that the Lord Jesus Christ are His possessions. His rewards are guaranteed by His Word. Eternal life is the greatest treasure that awaits us.

Mal 3:16 Then those whose lives honored God got together and talked it over. God saw what they were doing and listened in. A book was opened in God’s presence and minutes were taken of the meeting, with the names of the God-fearers written down, all the names of those who honored God’s name.

17 God-of-the-Angel-Armies said, “They’re mine, all mine. They’ll get special treatment when I go into action. I treat them with the same consideration and kindness that parents give the child who honors them.

18 Then shall you return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve Him.  AMP

Instead, become creative in the adventure of trading with a new kind of purse – one that is loaded with heaven’s currency – a treasure which cannot be exhausted, since it cannot be broken into or stolen, neither can it be ruined by moths!

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.

35 The earth and sky will wear out and fade away before one word I speak loses its power or fails to accomplish its purpose.” TPT

2 I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You have magnified Your word above all Your name!   AMP

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!

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

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.

RESTING IN GOD 1-31-25 VIDEO REST 2

The Father is calling us to rest in Him. It’s a spiritual rest from confusion, worry, stress, useless human effort. It means to be at peace to be still.

4 Somewhere it’s written, “God rested the seventh day, having completed his work,”

5 but in this other text he says, “They’ll never be able to sit down and rest.”

POWER OF PRAYER 1-26-24 VIDEO SCIENCE OF PRAYER 2

We don’t just pray to show sympathy for someone or something. We pray because we believe in the God of miracles. 2025 is a year for the igniting of the fire of prayer. It’s more than asking God for things. It’s declaring the word using authority in the name of Jesus to change things. It’s not bargaining with God. Prayer is talking directly to God. Our prayers go before the throne of God. God hears our prayers in heaven, not one gets by Him. True prayer is often done privately with Jesus.

MERCY TRUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT  1-24-25

Mercy is not something God owes us, but it’s something He freely gives us. It is His extended kindness given to us when we don’t deserve it. God sits on the mercy seat and puts mercy over the law. Jesus showed mercy always in His miracle power.

GOOD AWAYS OVERCOMES EVIL 1-19-25  VIDEO BILL ON SID GOODNESS

No matter how it looks at the time, God is always triumphant over evil. Evil has already been defeated by the blood of Jesus. Jesus overcame the enemy by doing good. Christ overcame the evil of sin with His own death and resurrection. Jesus who is and always will be good defeated the devil who is evil. He was victorious. It was God’s goodness that caused the evil pharaoh to be defeated, and the children of Israel to cross the sea on dry land. It was God‘s goodness that caused the heroes of faith to be victorious. God‘s goodness will always overcome evil.
