Place of the Skull

Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- His good, pleasing and perfect will."



Observation



THE PLACE WHERE JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED WAS CALLED "GOLGOTHA", WHICH MEANT "PLACE OF THE SKULL". IF I WILL BE EFFECTIVE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE, THE FIRST FIELD OF CONFLICT WHERE I MUST LEARN WARFARE IS THE BATTLEGROUND OF THE MIND; IE. THE "PLACE OF… Continue

An un-natural Fire

1 John 4:17 - As He is, so are we in this world.



AT THE AZUZA STREET REVIVAL, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO EXTINGUISH A BLAZE, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE PEOPLE INSIDE WERE WORSHIPING JESUS. WATER COULDN'T PUT IT OUT AS IT WAS NOT A NATURAL FIRE.

IF THE FATHER FILLED THE OLD TESTAMENT HOUSES WITH HIS GLORY, THOUGH THEY WERE BUILT BY HUMAN HANDS, HOW MUCH MORE WILL HE FILL THE PLACE THAT HE BUILDS WITH HIS OWN HANDS! HE IS BUILDING US INTO HIS ETERNAL DWELLING… Continue

Bible Study Techniques

A. DEVOTIONAL STUDY (To be used in teaching)

2. What does it teach about man?



3. Are there any warnings to heed?



4. Are there any commands to obey?



5. Are there any promises to claim by faith?



When completing this… Continue

Stepping Into Resurrection Life

Luke 24:1-3 - Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.



Observation



TRULY, ITS TIME FOR ME TO STOP LOOKING FOR THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD. IT'S TIME FOR ME TO STOP WANDERING AROUND IN THE CEMETERY OF SIN, SICKNESS, AND FAILURE AND… Continue

Snared, Trapped & Caught

Matthew 12:37 - For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.



Affirmations



Today!...I make up my mind that I'm going to speak life to my situations and circumstances. I am going to the word of God to find out what He has to say about me and my situation, and I'm going to say what He says.



Today!...I curse the wrong words I've spoken over my life and begin to speak the words of life I'm supposed to… Continue

Discipling The Body of Christ

2 Corinthians 5:18Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,



2 Corinthians 4:1,4,6,7,10,11Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart 4in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 6For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,”… Continue

Pulling Virtue Out Of The Holy Spirit

Psalm 5:3 -- 'In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.'



Hearing from God is living with expectation toward Him because expectation places a demand on the Holy Spirit. We should live with expectation toward God twenty-four hours a day, for He abides within us at all times.



God does talk. He is speaking continually. Christians need to develop their receivers (their human spirits) which will enable them to… Continue

Demonically Induced Pattern

2 Corinthians 10:4 - The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to tear down strongholds.





Wherever a stronghold exists, it is a deomonically induced pattern of thinking. Specifically it is a "House made of thoughts" which has become a dwelling place for satanic activity. The strongholds upon which demons relay consists of our own thoughts, attitudes, and opinions which are in agreement with evil.



The… Continue

Who Told You?

Genesis 3:11 - And He said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?



By taking the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they found a source of the knowledge of right and wrong outside of God. This can be identified as the principle of reasoning.

They no longer needed the wisdom of God; They could govern themselves according to their sense of right and wrong. This is why God questioned them "who… Continue

Seven Places Jesus Shed His Blood - 4

Leviticus 16:14,19 - Before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger SEVEN times.....Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger SEVEN times, cleanse it, and consecrate it.



The fourth place Jesus' blood was shed was from His hands, where the soldiers pounded spikes to nail Him to the cross.



Genesis 1:26 - Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion of the fish of the sea, over… Continue

Insensitivity To Spiritual Things

Hebrews 5:11 - Concerning this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull in your (spiritual) hearing and sluggish (even slothful in achieving spiritual insight).



They were not in need of hearing aids; rather their inward man had digressed to become insensitive to spiritual things.

The Holy Spirit does not communicate to our head but to our spirit. You can be a believer for years and not develop your spirit.

Scripture tells us that John the… Continue

Be Not Dismayed

Joshua 1:9 - Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.



BY FAR THE GREATEST GIFT EVER RECEIVED BY US IS THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF. THOSE WHO DISCOVER THE VALUE OF HIS PRESENCE ENTER REALMS OF INTIMACY WITH GOD NEVER PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED POSSIBLE. OUT OF THIS VITAL RELATIONSHIP ARISES A MINISTRY OF POWER THAT FORMERLY WAS ONLY A DREAM. THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE BECOMES POSSIBLE… Continue

Releasing God

1 Corinthians 13:4,5 - Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful.



When I release love into a situation, I have released God into it -- Jesus becomes responsible for it's success.



Affirmation



I release love every moment into every situation, every prayer and every thought until it totally consumes my life. It will strengthen me and cast out every… Continue

Paying The Price

Psalm 42:1 - As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.



WE NEGLECT TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND WIND UP WANDERING AROUND IN A WILDERNESS OF OUR OWN MAKING, BEING PURSUED BY SATAN.

EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH TOTAL ABANDONMENT, TOTAL SURRENDER AND TOTAL HUNGER FOR THE LIVING CHRIST - NOT THE THINGS HE GIVES OR IMPARTS, BUT CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE.



Psalm 63:1 - O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul… Continue

Confession unto Faith

Romans 10:9 - If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.



Confession without any faith in the heart is powerless; it's useless.



What if I don't believe in my heart? Should I still confess the Word of God?



Yes, because with my lips, I can make confessions unto faith. In other words, as I say God's word over and over again, faith can be built in my heart where before there wasn't… Continue

Blowing the lid of limitations

Matthew 28:19 - 'Go ye therefore, and disciple all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."



Jesus has called us to live extreme lives as history makers who live in constant increase as we go about transforming the world for His glory and His kingdom -- just as He did!



John 17:21,22 - "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou… Continue

What influence am I living under?

Psalm 119:105,111 - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.



The attitude of those who live FROM the triumph of Christ is different than those who live under the influence of their past.



The only part of the past that we have legal acces to is the testimony of the Lord. The rest is dead, buried, forgotten, and covered under the blood. The past should have no… Continue

Expansion of Government

Daniel 2:44 In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.



The kingdom of God is meant to expand and have dominion over all other kingdoms. The garden of Eden was a prophetic symbol , or picture, of God’s kingdom or government. God’s original intention for the garden was for it to be tended by… Continue

Who is going to think my thoughts?

Genesis 3:1 - Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he (Satan) said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, "You shall not eat from every tree of the garden"?



Observation



It is my responsibility to see that my thinking, believing and speaking are right. If I don't take that responsibility, the devil is going to think my thoughts for me. He'll actually have me believing what he wants me to… Continue

Discipling Others

Luke 17:21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”



The kingdom of heaven is planted within us as a seed and it is intended to grow and expand within us and on the earth.



2 Peter 1:3,7,8 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 7and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in… Continue

SUNDAY SCHOOL - July 11, 2021

John 8:39 - "They answered and said to Him, 'Abraham is our father.' Jesus said to them, 'If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.'"Abraham was an alien and a stranger on the earth. The goal of his life was to have a place in what God…Continue
