““For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”” (Mat 8:9) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message     One of the most important capabilities that empowers deliverance from the kingdom of this world into the Kingdom of God is the issue of authority. In fact, it could be said that deliverance is just a shift in authority. Think of this world’s system as a prison with its warden, the devil and its guards, principalities and powers described as “rulers” of wickedness. Paul spoke it this way: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, ...

So, Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."(Joh 8:31-32) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Deliverance and discipleship are one and the same. We are delivered from slavery to the world and its mind control dehumanizing system and into our identity and destiny in the Lord, as His disciples. No to different from fictional accounts of mental and physical programming, the world uses techniques to do the same to our souls. Thoughts or as the scripture names them strongholds define our reality. These are fortresses of thought that the world and Satan has imparted into the fabric of our hearts that can bring us into a bondage in those respective areas. Paul describes this process like this: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfar...

"The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You. (Isa 26:3) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Deliverance as we have stated is rescuing us from the Egypt of this world into the promised land of our inheritance. This deliverance is first and foremost an inside job. When Israel entered the Land of Promise, the Manna stopped. On the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. The manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land of Canaan during that year. (Jos 5:11-12) This is a very important success principle. Deliverance from Egypt was celebrated by the Passover. Our deliverance from the world system is celebrated by communion, a picture of the Passover. Manna represents provision in the wilderness, ...

“And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain— for He says, “AT A FAVORABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON A DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU.” Behold, now is “A FAVORABLE TIME,” behold, now is “A DAY OF SALVATION”—”  (2 Corinthians 6:1-2) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Part of the deliverance of God is the timing of God. We have all ordered something and used the tracking information to know when to expect the package to arrive. The arrival is at a specific point in time and to a specific location. Reading 2 Cor 6:1-2, we see the concept of a favorable time. Let’s talk first about the biblical Hebraic concept of time. In biblical time we live in a cycle of seasons that occur in a circular manner. Every year we cycle through seedtime and harvest. There is no way to rush the process and honor God in the process. What is essential is the amplification by the addition of God and His favor to the process. Lisa and I ...

“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   The goodness of God is the unfailing standard for all of life. The prophet Micah declares that the Lord has shown us His goodness. Yeshua tells us that the only standard of true goodness is the Lord Himself. “But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.” (Mark 10:18) It looks of the surface that Yeshua is even saying that he isn’t good. But I think the true emphasis should be on the “calling” of someone good or evil. Mankind has no true standard of Good and Evil apart from God. Only God who is good can declare something good or evil. We see this is the creation described in Genesis where God calls that what he does, “good”. For example, in Day 3: “Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plan...

“These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.” (Genesis 6:9-10) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Noah was a righteous man. When we speak of deliverance Noah was the first example in scripture of judgment and deliverance. We live in wicked times by any account where the fear of the Lord has been relegated to religion. People of faith have been declared by the ruling authorities as non-essential. Even the simplest choice of whether to inject fetal tissue derived experimental ineffective vaccinations is being attacked. At the core of this is the spiritual reality of true righteousness. The question is what true righteousness is. We read the Apostle Paul who informs us that righteousness is not of works but of faith. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation ...

““Hear, Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!” (Deuteronomy 6:4) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Deliverance requires a deliverer. Our deliverer is Yeshua and He is known as the Word of God. In Hebrew, He is the Davar-Elohim. For a Word to be able to act as our deliverance, it must be heard. This is the beginning of faith or trust in the Word. “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17) In order to have a deliverance, we must have faith. In order to have faith, we must have “hearing”. Hearing is the Hebrew word sh’ma. The first use of sh’ma in the Bible occurs right in the beginning after Adam and Eve have disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. “Now they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of t...

“Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism,” (Ephesians 4:1-5) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Deliverance begins with a release from unholy attachments, loosening and is fulfilled in a binding, a covenant of oneness. This is process is accessed through the keys of the kingdom. “And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."” (Matthew 16:19, NKJV) When we are fully integrated with the One who is One then we are free. It is our divided nature that keeps...

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."” (John 8:32) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Emet is the Hebrew word for truth. Yeshua tells us that we shall “know” the truth and that knowing shall make us free. The opposite of knowing the truth is believing in lies. This chapter I want to begin a deeper dive into the word for “knowing” the truth. The word translated as “know” is the Hebrew word yada. It is composed of three letters. The first is the yod, which is the picture of a hand. Hands are called yadaim, which is the Hebrew word construct that speaks of a pair. The yod is the ancient Hebrew word picture of an arm with an extended hand. This will make sense as we complete the picture. The next character is the dalet, which is the word picture of a door. Finally, the root completes with the ayin, the word picture of an eye which means a shift in perspective. The composite picture is a hand opening a ...

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."” (John 8:32) To listen to the audio-only version click below  Giving Opportunity Message   Last chapter we looked at the liberation that comes from the “chesed” of God, His secret counsel that protects and delivers us strategically into a kingdom of abundance. Chesed is often defined as “mercy” or “lovingkindness”. This is the outer court reality of chesed, by which we mean that when we look at the impact of chesed, we see the operation of mercy or the expression of the loving-kindness of God. When we look deeper, to the inner court reality of chesed, we see that the word as defined by three main ancient Hebrew letters or characters, “chet”, “samech”, and “dalet” give us the composite definition that chesed is the secret counsel of the Lord that He encircles and protects revealing His covenant love. Psalm 85:10 tells us: “Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed.” (Psalms 8...
