People were saying that God sent the flood to Texas or to Ruidoso. But God did not. It was not his will. He’s a help in times of trouble.

GREAT ANTICIPATION  7-11-2025 VIDEO BILL JOHNSON JOYFULL ANTICIPATION

This is the season to anticipate seeing the Father move mightily through you. Anticipation is an excitement waiting eagerly for something you know is going to happen. If you have fear it might be anticipation of a bad outcome. God is the God of all hope. Anticipation is more than expecting. It is faith in motion empowered by the Holy Spirit.  

Jer 7:24 But they would not listen to and obey Me or bend their ear [to Me], but followed the counsels and the stubborn promptings of their own evil hearts and minds, and they turned their backs and went in reverse instead of forward.

Jer 51:46 Don’t lose hope. Don’t ever give up  when the rumors pour in hot and heavy. One year it’s this, the next year it’s that — rumors of violence, rumors of warPHIL 2:12 Considering this amazing outcome of what our faith sees and celebrates, I strongly urge you my darling friends to continue to have your ears tuned to that which inspires your conduct to give full expression to the detail of your own salvation in a most personal and practical way. See salvation in its earth-shattering awesome and ultimate conclusion. I know that my personal presence encourages you greatly but now I want you to realize an inspiration in my absence that supersedes anything you’ve known before.

2 PET 3:9 9This means that, contrary to man’s perspective, the Lord is not late with his promise to return, as some measure lateness.

An example of anticipation is Simeon and Ana who lived every day of their lives, anticipating to see the Messiah. Luke 2:25 In Jerusalem at the time, there was a man, Simeon by name, a good man, a man who lived in the prayerful expectancy of help for Israel. And the Holy Spirit was on him.26 The Holy Spirit had shown him that he would see the Messiah of God before he died.27 Led by the Spirit, he entered the Temple. 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

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. We as a nation are called to be a light of the world of our freedom. We use our freedom to set the captives free.

ISA 61:1  The mighty Spirit of Lord Yahweh is wrapped around me because Yahweh has anointed me,  as a messenger to preach good news to the poor.  He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,”  and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.”   TPT

GOD’S REST 6-29-25  VIDEO REST BY GRAHAM COOKE 2

In our world today, there is a lot of anxiety and fear. What is happening? What should we do? Who should we trust? The answers to all of the above is God. There is a rest for the believers to enter into. Not talking about taking a nap. We are talking about entering into God‘s rest. Where everything is seen clearly. If we think it’s our job, family or our responsibilities that is keeping us from entering into rest, we are mistaken. It is by our unbelief and not hearing the Holy Spirit voice. The devil works by bringing thoughts into your mind. But God brings the truth and rest to you by the Holy Spirit. The true rest is believing God’s promises and relaying on them not our works.
 

HEB 4:1 Now the promise of entering into God’s rest is still for us today. So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all embrace the fullness of that promise and not fail to experience it.

2 For we have heard the good news of deliverance just as they did, yet they didn’t join their faith with the Word. Instead, what they heard didn’t affect them deeply, for they doubted.

3 For those of us who believe, faith activates the promise and we experience the realm of confident rest! For he has said,  “I was grieved with them and made a solemn oath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’ ”God’s works have all been completed from the foundation of the world,

4 for it says in the Scriptures, And on the seventh day God rested from all his works.

5 And again, as stated before, They will not enter into my rest.  MIRROR

Heb 3:19 So we see that they were not able to enter [into His rest], because of their unwillingness to adhere to and trust in and rely on God [unbelief had shut them out].  AMP

HEB 4:6 It is clear then that there is still an opportunity to enter into that rest which Israel failed to access because of their unbelief, even though they were the first to hear the Good News of God’s intention to restore mankind to the same Sabbath that Adam and Israel had lost.

7 So, now again many years later, he points specifically to an extended opportunity when he announces in David’s prophecy, “Today when hearing my voice, do not do so with a calloused heart. Be faith sensitive.”

8 If Joshua, who led the new generation of Israel out of the wilderness [where their parents perished through unbelief], had succeeded in leading them into the rest that God intended, David would not so many years later have referred to yet another day.  

9 The conclusion is clear: the original rest is still in place for God’s people.  

10 God’s rest celebrates his finished work; whoever enters into God’s rest immediately abandons his own efforts to improve what God has already perfected.  

11 Let us therefore be prompt to understand and fully appropriate that rest and not fall again into the same trap that snared Israel in unbelief.   MIRROR   ↓↓↓

Heb 4:6 So this promise has not yet been fulfilled. Those earlier ones never did get to the place of rest because they were disobedient.

7 God keeps renewing the promise and setting the date as today, just as he did in David’s psalm, centuries later than the original invitation: Today, please listen, don’t turn a deaf ear . . . 

8 And so this is still a live promise. It wasn’t canceled at the time of Joshua; otherwise, God wouldn’t keep renewing the appointment for “today.”

9 The promise of “arrival” and “rest” is still there for God’s people.

10 God himself is at rest. And at the end of the journey we’ll surely rest with God.

11 So let’s keep at it and eventually arrive at the place of rest, not drop out through some sort of disobedience.  MSG

3 The law failed to be anything more than an instruction manual; it had no power to deliver us from the strong influence of sin holding us hostage in our own bodies. God disguised himself in his Son in this very domain where sin ruled us, in flesh. The body he lived and conquered in was no different to ours. Thus sin’s authority in the human body was condemned.  MIRROR

3 God went for the jugular when he sent his own Son. He didn’t deal with the problem as something remote and unimportant. In his Son, Jesus, he personally took on the human condition, entered the disordered mess of struggling humanity in order to set it right once and for all. The law code, weakened as it always was by fractured human nature, could never have done that. The law always ended up being used as a Band-Aid on sin instead of a deep healing of it. MSG

LIVING IN THE GLORY REALM 6-6-25VIDEO STRONG PRESENCE JOSHUA MILLS

We’re being invited to live in the realm of God‘s glory. That realm overcomes anything that the world could ever offer. To experience God‘s presence is to experience the shining of God‘s face. The disciples witnessed the glory realm when Jesus was transfigured. Moses stood in God‘s presence and his face was radiant. Transfiguration is where Jesus appeared to change, reflecting the divine nature and Glory. His face shown like the sun. His clothes became white as light showing his glory. Moses and Elijah appeared, showing how Jesus was the fulfillment of the law.

PS 67:1 God, keep us near your mercy-fountain and bless us! And when you look down on us, may your face beam with joy!  Pause in his presence

2 Send us out all over the world so that everyone everywhere will discover your ways and know who you are and see your power to save. TPT

Num 6:24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;

2 Thess 1:10 When He comes to be glorified in His saints [on that day He will be made more glorious in His consecrated people], and [He will] be marveled at and admired [in His glory reflected] in all who have believed [who have adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Him], because our witnessing among you was confidently accepted and believed [and confirmed in your lives]. AMP

Ex 34:29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai carrying the two Tablets of The Testimony, he didn’t know that the skin of his face glowed because he had been speaking with God.

30 Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, saw his radiant face, and held back, afraid to get close to him.

31 Moses called out to them. Aaron and the leaders in the community came back and Moses talked with them.

32 Later all the Israelites came up to him and he passed on the commands, everything that God had told him on Mount Sinai.

33 When Moses finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face, MSG

2 Cor 3:12 Since we have such [glorious] hope (such joyful and confident expectation), we speak very freely and openly and fearlessly.

13 Nor [do we act] like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze upon the finish of the vanishing [splendor which had been upon it]. AMP

↕↕↕

2 Cor 3:12  With that kind of hope to excite us, nothing holds us back.

13 Unlike Moses, we have nothing to hide. Everything is out in the open with us. He wore a veil so the children of Israel wouldn’t notice that the glory was fading away —  MSG   

2 COR 4:6 The light source is founded in the same God who said, “Light, be!” And light shone out of darkness! He lit the lamp in our understanding so that we may clearly recognize the features of his likeness in the face of Jesus Christ reflected within us.

7 And now, in the glow of this glorious light and with unveiled faces we discover this treasure where it was hidden all along, in these frail skin-suits made of clay. We did not invent ourselves; we are God’s idea to begin with and the dynamic of his doing and amazing engineering!  MIRROR

2 Cor 3:18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.  AMP

2 Cor 3:18  All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him. MSG

Matt 17:1 Six days later, three of them saw that glory. Jesus took Peter and the brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain.

2 His appearance changed from the inside out, right before their eyes. Sunlight poured from his face. His clothes were filled with light.

3 Then they realized that Moses and Elijah were also there in deep conversation with him.

4 Peter broke in, “Master, this is a great moment! What would you think if I built three memorials here on the mountain — one for you, one for Moses, one for Elijah?”

5 While he was going on like this, babbling, a light-radiant cloud enveloped them, and sounding from deep in the cloud a voice: “This is my Son, marked by my love, focus of my delight. Listen to him.”

6 When the disciples heard it, they fell flat on their faces, scared to death.

7 But Jesus came over and touched them. “Don’t be afraid.”

8 When they opened their eyes and looked around all they saw was Jesus, only Jesus. MSG

2 PET 1:16 We were not retelling some masterfully crafted legend when we informed you of the power and appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, for we saw his magnificence and splendor unveiled before our very eyes.

18 And we ourselves heard that voice resound from the heavens while we were with him on the holy mountain.

19 And so we have been given the prophetic word—the written message of the prophets, made more reliable and fully validated by the confirming voice of God on the Mount of Transfiguration. And you will continue to do well if you stay focused on it. For this prophetic message is like a piercing light shining in a gloomy place until the dawning of a new day, when the Morning Star rises in your hearts.  TPT

ROM 12:1 Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.
