"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. (Rev 12:11 NASB) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message The Apostle John, who had the premiere revelation of Yeshua as the light of God and as the expression of the love of God revealed that there is a testimony of Yeshua that involves the water, the blood and the spirit. The last two chapters have been focused on the testimony of the water. Let’s turn to the testimony of the blood. This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three agree. (1Jn 5:6-8 NASB) Clearly John is telling us that there is an agreement between the testimony of the water, the blood, a...

Living the Resurrected Life. The Testimony Part 8 - Water, The Blood, and the Spirit - David Mitts

"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. (Rev 12:11 NASB) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message Last chapter we spoke about disappointment and the key of healing the broken heart that makes us sick by lowering our expectations. Lowered expectations distort how we see the reality of possibilities in our life. As we drop our expectation we turn to gimmicks or self-effort and stop believing for the miracles of God to be part of our experience. It’s not necessarily the case, that we don’t believe in miracles, just that somehow, they are not a part of our individual story. The healing we are believing for, the provision for a big vision, the resurrection of a dead relationship, etc. become limited to what we know and understand through our natural seeing and corresponding expectations. In order to have a breakthrough, we...

Living the Resurrection Life, The Blood Part 3 (Atonement 1) - David Mitts

Image
The Atonement, Part 1 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God Day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev 12:10-11 NKJV) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message The hour we live in is a great struggle for people of faith. The accuser of the brothers and sisters of faith is at war with those who love and serve Yeshua. We see this handiwork of evil through the attack on the validity of the Gospel as the gateway of salvation for mankind through the expression of the love of God. Science and the exaltation of human intellect is being portrayed as the true solution for mankind’s self-destructive nature. This is a twisting of the truth to fit a narrative whi...

Living the Resurrection Life, The Blood Part 2 - David Mitts

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev 12:10-11 NKJV) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message Last chapter we began exploring the overcoming life, specifically from perspective of the power of the blood of Yeshua. The blood speaks on our behalf and protects us from the accuser and his accusations against us. The blood also cries for justice and defends the innocent. Thirdly, the blood brings the Lord into the abiding place of our heart where we have communion with Lord. Intimacy and trust are fashioned in the heart and God’s voice speaks to us through the voice of the blood. We used the Passover deliverance...

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God Day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev 12:10-11 NKJV) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Last chapter, we began to look at how to overcome evil in these days. This verse tells us of 3 main strategies that believers use to overcome the accuser of the brethren. Accusation is the main method of the enemy. When you accuse someone of something you bring the voice of your experience to someone in authority in this case the authority is God Himself. As we mentioned a couple of chapters back, the throne of God today is in the heart of believers. "Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My F...
