B.E.S.T. Shabbat

“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...

"The stars fought from heaven, from their courses they fought against Sisera.” (Jdg 5:20 NASB) Click here to listen to " The War in the Heavens " We have been looking at Justice in these unjust times. We have looked at four Judges in Israel and how their characteristics exemplify aspects that are part of justice from God’s perspective. This chapter I want to take a step back and look at a bigger perspective before we move on to our fifth judge, Gideon. The foundation text for today is Judges 5, which is called the Song of Deborah. Recalling Deborah, she is the fire prophetess who brings God’s Word in a way that defeats the enemies of Israel and God strategically in such a manner that there is a shift in the heavenlies. Let’s look at the big picture. The Apostle Paul lets us know that all conflicts are not with human agencies.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darknes...

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. (Eph 2:4-9) Click here to listen to " Faith and Grace " We have been sharing about the inner conversation that is transformed in Messiah. We recognized that there are 2 voices that speak to us in our inner man, the voice of God and the voice of Chaos. These voices speak into our stream of thoughts which the scriptures express through the reality of the waters. Genesis 1:2-3 describes this process: The earth was formle...

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. (1Jn 2:20) Click here to listen to " The Anointing and Hope " Last session, we looked at the critical nature of association considering the image we carry on the inside of us that literally projects our destiny.   We don’t get the future we want; we get the future we picture! This isn’t about just visualization; it is also about the one who visualizes. The most important image we carry on the inside is how we see ourselves, in the light of God. Look with me at James 1:23-25. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like . But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues in it--not forgetting what they have heard but doing it--they will be blessed in what they do. (Jas 1:23-25) The mirror is the reflec...
