Poverty of Spirit

John 20:21-23 Then Jesus said to them again, Peace to you! [Just] as the Father has sent Me forth, so I am sending you.22 And having said this, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit! 23 [Now having received the Holy Spirit, and being led and directed by Him] if you forgive the […]

Pointing to Pentecost

It doesn’t;t take a rocket scientist to know that there are two ways at looking at a situation. We can either see it in a positive light or a negative light. Take for instance the corona virus. We could see it government interventions as an invasion of privacy, a violation of our rights guaranteed under […]

Passover

Tonight all across America Jewish families will be participating in an event that is thousands of years old. That event is called Passover. Passover signifies when God the Father came to set His people free, and bring judgment down on the demonic gods of Egypt. During this night, the angel of death visited Egypt looking […]

Search For Leaven

1 Corinthians 5:6-8 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore [a]purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed [b]for us. 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with […]

Christmas Day Truce 1914

Isaiah 55:6 Seek, inquire for, and require the Lord while He may be found [claiming Him by necessity and by right]; call upon Him while He is near. This Scripture couldn’t have ben more true than on December 25, 1914. World War 1 had been raging since July 28, 1914 and Pope Benedict XV had suggested a […]

Encouraging Words

I trust everyone is doing well and adjusting to all the stay at home policies being encouraged by our government. As we are in lockdown (that’s how it feels) many of us are finding new ways of reaching out through a new tool called Zoom. Through it we’ve been able to gather together for prayer, […]

One Thing

There’s a great scene in the movie City Slickers in which Billy Crystal (playing a city- dweller in the throes of a midlife crisis who’s trying to find himself on a dude ranch) is talking to Jack Palance, an old-time cowboy, about the meaning of life. Palance holds up one cowhide-gloved finger (No, not that finger; his […]

Good Afternoon Precious Church Family!

Jesus Fast Day 6

Jesus Fast Day 5

In light of a recent message regarding the baptism of the Spirit and Fire and it’s symbolic reference to zeal I thought Lou Engle’s Post for today was timely: Bread From Heaven “Passion is the north star compass for your calling.” Yesterday we spoke concerning passion as the mainspring for the 40-day fast. Passion is the […]

Jesus Fast – Day 5

I thought I would share this post from Lou Engle from Day Four of the 40 Day Jesus Fast: You Can Climb This Mountain “No one climbs Everest without a mesmerizing motivation of passion.” – Lou Engle“And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because […]

Confession & Declaration 39

Romans 8:29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.

Confession & Declaration 40

Romans 8:37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us…..AND….. 1 Corinthian’s 15:57 states: But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Confession & Declaration 38

1 Corinthians 6:3 Do you not know also that we [Christians] are to judge the [very] angels and pronounce opinion between right and wrong [for them]?

Confession & Declaration 37

Colossians 3:3 For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. The context of this passage places an emphasis on who you really are to be. That who you are really going to be is hidden in Jesus. But the good news […]

Confession & Declaration 36

Isaiah 49:14-16 NKJV Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.” 15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. 16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me. The Lord […]

Confession & Declaration 35

I trust that you are seeing that you are precious to Jesus simply on the evidence of the riches of our salvation found in Jesus’ shed Blood. I also trust that you are not simply reading the declarations but saying them aloud. There is power and transformation found in our declarations and confessions. Remember the […]

Confession & Declaration 34

Galatians 4:5 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as God’s sons].

Romans 8:29 NLT For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Hebrews 2:11 NLT So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed […]

Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And [yet] not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God. 7 But [even] the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many […]

Confession & Declaration 31

Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. What does this mean, as far as the east is from the west? Got Questions answers the question by stating: The phrase as far as the east is from the west is meant to communicate in infinite space. East is in one direction, and […]

Confession & Declaration 30

John 15:15 I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father. [I have revealed to you everything that I have […]
