““And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.” (Revelation 12:11) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message We live in extremely perilous times. What marks them as such is the delusions and divisions that are represented as truth in our world. Yeshua declared that such times would immediately precede His return. “And at that time many will fall away, and they will betray one another and hate one another. “And many false prophets will rise up and mislead many people. “And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will become cold. “But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved. “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:10-14) Betrayal, hatred, deceptions, lawlessness, and coldness of love. These are the chal

““And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.” (Revelation 12:11) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message Recovering our voice, the power of our testimony releases the overcoming life. We have often struggled with having boldness in our speech. Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech—(2Co 3:12) The key to boldness is expectation of a favorable outcome, what the Word calls a hope. Imagine a situation where you are being threatened but you know that your deliverance is at hand. That hope, that promise of salvation gives you boldness in your speech. (insert story) The key is our focus, how we see. Like the scout who went into the Land, we either put our hope in the power of the giants or in the power of our loving God. How do we get to that point? I want to look at the phenomenon of forgetting. Forgetting

““And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.” (Revelation 12:11) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message Recovering our voice is an important tool of the overcoming life. What does it mean to recover our voice? Our voice is named as our testimony. Our testimony is our statement of truth. Think of an auto accident that you witnessed. Your witness is only valuable when you testify of what you have seen, what you perceive as what happened or as you think of it as “the truth”. To speak of the truth, you first must have witnessed the truth. Therefore, Yeshua told the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem to receive the Spirit and power to be a witness of the truth. but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of

“And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.” (Revelation 12:11) Note: No Audio of Video for this blog...text only We have been exploring the overcoming power of the blood of the Lamb. We saw that life is in the blood, and that the blood has a voice. It speaks or pleads on our behalf against the voice of the accuser. The voice of the blood also invites the Lord to live in our house, the temple of His Presence. We receive a blood transfusion and a heart transplant when we receive the Lord. All of this is inherent in the blood and the voice. This chapter, I want to turn our focus to the power of the voice as revealed in the testimony. The verse tells us overcoming comes by the “word” of the testimony. I want to dive deeply into that phrase. What is a testimony and what is the “word” of the testimony? The first use of the word testimony is in connection with miracle of man
