STAYING FOCUSED ON GOD 6-14-26 VIDEO ARE YOU VIEWING
No matter what the situation is, he stays focused on me. He’s the God who sees me. El Roi just like Hagar. He even knows the numbers of Hair we have on our head.
PHIL 4:19 You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus.
20 Our God and Father abounds in glory that just pours out into eternity. Yes. MSG

EPH 1:20 All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven,
21 in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever.
22 He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church.
23 The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence. MSG

EPH 1:4 Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.
5 Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!)
6 He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son. MSG

GEN 16:13 After her encounter with Yahweh, Hagar called him by a special name, “You are the God of My Seeing,” for she said, “Oh my, did I just see God and live to talk about it?”

2 COR 5:14 Christ’s love has moved me to such extremes. His love has the first and last word in everything we do.
15 He included everyone in his death so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life, a far better life than people ever lived on their own. MSG

PHIL 3:15 So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision – you’ll see it yet!
16 Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it. MSG

ROM 3:31 But by shifting our focus from what we do to what God does, don’t we cancel out all our careful keeping of the rules and ways God commanded? Not at all. What happens, in fact, is that by putting that entire way of life in its proper place, we confirm it. MSG

ROM 4:19 Abraham’s faith would have been nullified if he were to take his own age and the deadness of Sarah’s womb into account. His hundred year old body and Sarah’s barren womb did not distract him in the least! He finally knew that no contribution from their side could possibly assist God in fulfilling his promise!
20 While he had every reason to doubt the promise, he did not hesitate for a moment but instead empowered by faith confidence, he continued to communicate God’s opinion. MIRROR

And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God.

COL 3:1 See yourselves co-raised with Christ! Now ponder with persuasion the consequence of your co-inclusion in him. Relocate yourselves mentally! Engage your thoughts with throne room realities where you are co-seated with Christ in the executive authority of God’s right hand.

COL 3:1 So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.

JN 14:1 Set your troubled hearts at ease by letting your belief conclude in God as you rest your confidence in me.

2 COR 5:15 and He died for all, so that all those who live would no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and was raised for their sake.

PRAYER IS SO IMPORTANT 6-12-26  VIDEO

Our prayers make the difference. They’re filled with power because we pray with the Father with the Son and Holy Spirit to be an agreement with us. Prayer is vital. It absolutely always has been. When we pray we communicate with God directly. Prayer overcomes, anxiety and brings peace. Before the day begins before distractions loom spend time with God.

MATT 6:7 “The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God.

8 Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need.

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

MATT 7:7 “Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need.

8 This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in.

9 If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust?

10 If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate?

11 As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?

12 “Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God’s Law and Prophets and this is what you get.   MSG

EPH 1:15 That’s why, when I heard of the solid trust you have in the Master Jesus and your outpouring of love to all the Christians,

16 I couldn’t stop thanking God for you – every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks.

17 But I do more than thank. I ask – ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory – to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally,

18 your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for Christians,

19 oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him – endless energy, boundless strength!  MSG

PHIL 4:6 Let no anxiety about anything distract you! Rather translate moments into prayerful worship, and soak your requests in gratitude before God! 

7 And in this place of worship and gratitude you will witness how the peace of God within you echoes the awareness of your oneness in Christ Jesus beyond the reach of any thought that could possibly unsettle you. Just like the sentry guard secures a city, watching out in advance for the first signs of any possible threat, your deepest feelings and the tranquillity of your thoughts are fully guarded there.  MIRROR

JAMES 5:16 if you have wronged someone talk to him about it; pray for each other to maintain a healthy fellowship. Righteousness is the fuel of effective prayer. 

17 Elijah wasn’t superman, yet his prayers had supernatural results with global impact. Remember how he prayed. He prayed with such resolve that he stopped the rain for three and a half years!

18 He prayed again and everything was back to normal; rain and harvest in season!

ROM 8:26 The Spirit also sighs within us with words too deep for articulation, assisting us in our prayers when we struggle to know how to pray properly. When we feel restricted in our flesh, he supersedes our clumsy efforts and hits bulls-eye every time.

ROM 8:26 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans.  MSG

1 COR 14:18 I’m grateful to God for the gift of praying in tongues that he gives us for praising him, which leads to wonderful intimacies we enjoy with him. I enter into this as much or more than any of you.  MSG

21 staying right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!

 MSG

EPH 6:18 Prayer is an ongoing conversation; praying in the spirit includes every form of prayer, whether it be a prayer of request or a prayer of thanksgiving, or worship or interceding for all to realize their saintly innocence. Oh, and remember, you do not have to do all the talking! Always be attentive to the voice of the Spirit.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING 6-5-26 VIDEO
I love the story of the woman with the issue of blood. For many years, she felt like she had to stay away from people because she was conscious of being ceremonisly unclean. But something went off inside her when she heard about Jesus. She changed her thinking and her life changed. She was healed. Your thoughts conduct what you believe and what you do. Our thoughts shape our character. Where to watch the words of our mouth. Your thoughts how you think become clear when it comes from your heart.
MK 5:28 She was thinking to herself, “If I can put a finger on his robe, I can get well.”
29 The moment she did it, the flow of blood dried up. She could feel the change and knew her plague was over and done with.
30 At the same moment, Jesus felt energy discharging from him. He turned around to the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?”
31 His disciples said, “What are you talking about? With this crowd pushing and jostling you, you’re asking, ‘Who touched me?’ Dozens have touched you!”

ROM 5:8 Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn’t, and doesn’t, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn’t been so weak, we wouldn’t have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.
9-11 Now that we are set right with God by means of this sacrificial death, the consummate blood sacrifice, there is no longer a question of being at odds with God in any way. If, when we were at our worst, we were put on friendly terms with God by the sacrificial death of his Son, now that we’re at our best, just think of how our lives will expand and deepen by means of his resurrection life!

PENTECOST  5-24-26 VIDEO MIRACLES OF HOLY LIGHT CAUGHT ON CAM

The feast of Pentecost is a celebration of the harvest called the feast of weeks. Also, it’s remembrance of when Moses received the law. But to us, Pentecost is a celebration the birthday of the Christian church and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Peter talks to the crowd about what is happening on Pentecost. The results were the Holy Spirit was present and able to inhabit us. When the Bible talks about being baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire, the true translation is baptized in the Holy Spirit and light. We are living in a time and there’s more to come for the fulfillment of the prophecy of Joel.

ACTS 2:1 When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

2 Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force – no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building.

3 Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks,

4 and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them.

5 There were many Jews staying in Jerusalem just then, devout pilgrims from all over the world.

6 When they heard the sound, they came on the run. Then when they heard, one after another, their own mother tongues being spoken, they were thunderstruck.

ACTS 2:1 On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled, all the disciples were gathered in one place.

2 Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind rushing into the house from out of the heavenly realm. The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear!

3 Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes. It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them.

4 They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned!

Now, at that time there were Jewish worshipers who had emigrated from many different lands to live in Jerusalem.

6 When the people of the city heard the roaring sound, crowds came running to where it was coming from, stunned over what was happening, because each one could hear the disciples speaking in his or her own language.

ACT 2:14 That’s when Peter stood up and, backed by the other eleven, spoke out with bold urgency: “Fellow Jews, all of you who are visiting Jerusalem, listen carefully and get this story straight.

18 When the time comes, I’ll pour out my Spirit On those who serve me, men and women both, and they’ll prophesy.

19 I’ll set wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below, Blood and fire and billowing smoke,

20 the sun turning black and the moon blood-red, Before the Day of the Lord arrives, the Day tremendous and marvelous;

ACTS 2:37 Cut to the quick, those who were there listening asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers! Brothers! So now what do we do?”

38 Peter said, “Change your life. Turn to God and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, so your sins are forgiven. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39 The promise is targeted to you and your children, but also to all who are far away – whomever, in fact, our Master God invites.”   MSG

ACT 2:43 Everyone around was in awe – all those wonders and signs done through the apostles!

44 And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common.

45 They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was met.

17 So I ask you: If God gave the same exact gift to them as to us when we believed in the Master Jesus Christ, how could I object to God?”
