Love and Life - Session 15 - Living the Overcoming Life - David Mitts

Image
"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  We have pressing in for breakthroughs in how to live in confusing and destructive times. We know that we wrestle not with flesh and blood but with spiritual realities that seek to enslave us or liberate us. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) Wrestling is a unique sport in that is often not about strength but about balance and technique. In order to succeed in a wrestling match, we need to be able to anticipate the moves of our adversary and wait for openings which allow us to shift the balance of power into a strategic advantage. ...

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

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...

The Secret of Being the Living Sacrifice - Giving - David Mitts

""For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."   Joh 3:16 (NASB) Click here to listen to " The Secret of Being the Living Sacrifice " Clearly, we are in unprecedented times in our lifetime. Never before have we seen so clearly the power of the fear of death stop the world. Man, who has in one way or another rejected the love of God, has replaced Him, in many cases, with the fear of death.  The fear of death has a distortion effect on reality as perceived in the mind and heart.  It shifts our faith. The voice of the fear of death causes us to draw in and treat other people as a threat or a potential threat. You have only to walk into a grocery store during the crisis to feel, see, and sense the avoidance and extravagant grip that fear has on people. Why is this happening? Is it the correct response to the virus? Is this how God would have His sons and daughters res...
