It Was Found In My Heart

Thanks for streaming us in your lives. We are completing other projects and engaging  with spiritual  and physical family matters at this time. We will be back in July but we pray that you will continually  read and study the book of John and get to know Jesus better! We love you all, and pray that you will always seek and increase in knowledge of God!Gary & Veronica

This week we hear how people hearing the truth chooses not to read between the lines but outside the lines. Jesus tells the truth but the focus of the hearer of the word is to hear what they want to hear...which can prove to be fatal.

In our society today, there are so many voices bearing witness to who we are, some are true but there are quite a few that aren't. The world is suffering from an identity crisis and it's mainly because we are listening to voices that choose to not bear witness to the truth.The scriptures mentions that there should be two or three witnesses that confirms what is legit. I don't believe this means everyone who is in agreement with you but as Jesus explains in Matthew 5:31-39 we can discover that witnesses can come from many ways but ultimately the deciding witness that bears with us is God and His truth. There's 'Self' witness, 'Man's' witness, 'Works' witness, 'Word/Scripture' witness and more importantly 'God' witness. As humans we can think, say, or do something that word seem to bear witness of who we are but ultimately, if it doesn't line-up to who God says we are then we are giving birth to a lie.  So, who or what are WE allowing to bear witness of ourselves and do they or does it line up with the One who has CREATED us and DEFINED us?Scripture Ref.Deuteronomy 19:15; "...mouth of two....three witness..."Matthew 5:14;  "...you are the light of the world..." Matthew 5:31-39;  The bearing witnessesMark 9:7;  "...a voice came out of the clouds..."      John  3:8; "...everyone...born of the Spirit..."John 6:42; Knowing who He was in the natural and not the spiritualJohn 14:6;  "...the way, truth, and life..."         

None of us are or were exempt from sin.  Like the woman in this chapter, we were condemned and deserving of death, but someone who could have sealed our fate decided to pause and remind our accuser that he too was condemned and he had to drop his stones.We have been given great grace! What are we going to do with it - continue in our sin or will we go and sin no more?

We should expect to have conflict with the world, but sometimes, being a bearer of God's truth, our unlikely oppositions can often be those we should least expect. Those who are wrapped in the religion of God and not the relationship with God.But no matter who it is, we must speak the truth, stay in the truth no who or what opposes the truth!Remember a lie will always need a crutch to stand, but the truth can stand all by itself.     Scripture Ref.

A Preacher trying to kill the truth, and then lie about it...crazy right? Not living up to the truth that they are suppose represent.See why it's important for us to know the truth for ourselves and why it's necessary for us to allow the Spirit to open our eyes to see the spiritual with the natural.Search the scriptures and allow the Spirit to teach you all things and guide you into all truth. John 14:26, 16:13Scripture Ref:

Should we judge or shouldn't we judge? If so, what should we judge? Judging has become a no-no, and in some ways, it has made some Christians uncomfortable about telling the truth because they will be labeled as being judgmental.How do we help each other if we can't say anything about the sin in our lives?Learn what Jesus says about judging righteously.      Scripture Ref.

How do we know if someone is telling the truth? First, if you know the truth then you will know if they are telling the truth. Also, in vs 17 Jesus explains what to look for when someone is proclaiming the truth.~ A lie will always need crutches to stand upon, but the truth will always stand on its own.~ Scripture Ref. John 7:17-24a 

How valuable are the souls of people to God? If God desires that none should perish, that He would send His only begotten Son, dressed in flesh, to save our swimming in darkness souls, surely, souls are very valuable to Him. But souls are also valuable to Satan!That's why Jesus came to save! To snatch us from the power of darkness so that we may experience His marvelous Light!The book of John shows us how much God and Christ loves us by how He goes to the extreme for us. But He also gives us an example a blueprint of how extreme we should be for the souls He deeply loves... no matter who they are or how much they reject Him.Our success depends on how much we see ourselves and keep ourselves abiding in Him...At All Cost!    Scripture Ref. Heavenly Minded; Col 3:2 Vengeance is God; Rom 12:19 While we were yet sinners; Rom 5:8 Love covers sins; 1 Peter 4:8Overcome evil with good; Rom 12:21 We shall have persecution; 2 Tim 3:12 Light comes and darkness rejects, John 3:19Called to be unmovable; 1 Cor 15:58 Persecution because of Truth; Luke 4:29Message is from God; John 14:10Called from dark to light; 1 Peter 2:9 Study to be approved; 2 Tim 2:15 

Have you ever had family members who didn't believe in you or maybe they wanted you to do things that you didn't want to do?  How would you respond to finding out that people were planning to do harm to you? What about people hating you just because you tell the truth?  Do you think you are strong enough to carry such a weight?  To say yes to Christ means more than just receiving salvation. There is a price to follow Him, a weight of bearing Truth.  In these opening verses in John 7, we will see what it takes to be a Truth Bearer.    Scripture Ref. Be Holy For He is Holy; Eph 1:4, 1 Peter 1:15-16, 2 Peter 3:11 and 1 Thess 14:7-8 Heavenly Minded; Col 3:1-2Time to be silent and a time to speak; Eccl 3:7Only Him will we serve; Matt 4:10Speaking Truth in Love; Eph4:15 

What are we seeking Christ for, is it for what He can do for us in the natural or is it for what He has done for us in the Spirit? Jesus is having a revealing conversation with His disciples about heavenly things. He is trying to get them to go beyond the natural and tap into the spiritual. We pray that as you reflect on this conversation that you will go deeper with Christ.   Scripture Ref. Matthew 7:7, “…ask, seek, knock…” Genesis 32:22-31 - Jacob wrestling with God Daniel 3:16-18, “…even if…” Matthew 16:13-17,”…who do you think that I am…” Judas being loved beyond the knowledge of Christ: Thief (John 12:6), Ministry with Power (Mark 6:7,13) and Betrayal (John 13:1-5) Romans 5:8, “…while we were yet sinners…” John 17:15-16 - In the world not of it

What does Christmas mean to you? We hope that you can experience what Christmas looks like in the 'After Days'.

We pray that as you reflect on this conversation that you will go deeper with Christ. Scripture Ref.John 3:3-21, " ...you must be born again"John 6:29-32, Breaking Bread"John 14:26,  "...Holy Spirit ; teacher"Jo hn16:13, "Holy Spirit; Guides us"John 20:29 , "Blessed are those who don't see."John  16:7 "The Comforter is coming!!!"

Jesus tells the religious leader, Nicodemus that he must be born again, Nicodemus lacked heavenly understanding to comprehend what Jesus was saying.  What is being Born Again? How important is it to know that you have been born again? We hope that this episode will help you understand more than Nico did!  Scripture Ref.John 3:3, " ...you must be born again" Mar 4:26-29 ,   "...casting seed to the ground" Mar 4:30-32  "...grain of mustard seed" Luk 13:19-20 , "taking and hiding mealLuke 17:21, "...Kingdom of God is in you"John 17:3, " ...know the only true God and  the sent one JesusJohn 3:17, "...salvation is through Christ.."

John 3:6 “….born of Spirit is spirits” John 1:12-13 ‘…born of the will of God” Matt 7:21-23 doing it in Jesus name! 

What are you seeking? A closer walk with creation or a closer walk with the Creator? Our choice will decide what we shall reap and what is festering deeply in the belly of our hearts.Scripture Ref.Mark 1:37 , " ...all men seek for you"John 4:34, meat to do the will of the SenderMatt 12:34, "...out of the abundance of the heart"1 Cor 13:2-3, "Nothing and profit isn't anything without LoveLuke 2:49 , "...about my Father's business"Col 3:23, do unto the LordPsalms 139:23-24, "...try me and know my thoughts..."

Believing in Jesus can go a long way quicker.  But we must be willing to get to the place where we can release our fears into the faith of Jesus.   Scripture Ref.I Jn 4:18 , "perfect love cast out fear2 Tim 1:7, Spirit of power, love and a sound mindMatt 28"...never leave us..."James 4:7, "Submit to God...."Matt 19:26, "...all things are possible" 

Feeding the 5000+ was pretty amazing. Jesus, with an insufficient supply fed the great demand, sufficiently.  We learn that when we give what we have, with a thankful heart, to the one whose supplies are endless, we discover that even the fragmented leftovers can go a long way in meeting His Kingdom purpose.  Scripture Ref.James 1:17, every good and perfect giftPsalms 34:1, His praise will continually be in my mouthJohn 6:39, I should lose nothingActs 17:28, in Him we live, and move, and have our beingIsaiah 26:3, mind is stayed on thee

Sometimes what we see, or think isn't what we get. And though His thoughts and ways are above our thoughts and ways, we are often tested to see if our thoughts and ways have been transformed to reflect what we have seen our Jesus do and what we have heard our Jesus say. Scripture Ref.John 6:1-11, Loaves and fishesProverbs 3:5-6, lean not on own understandingHebrews 4:3, works finished from the foundation of the world1 Thessalonian 5:18, Thanksgiving is WILL of God

Prayer has been noted to be one of the most powerful weapon God has given us that is used the less. A weapon that the enemy doesn't want us to understand or use, especially exponentially, because it would be a noticeable game changer over the gates of Hell.Scripture Ref.Deuteronomy 32:30, 1/1K to flight; 2/10K to flight - A word for the enemies of Israel because they didn't obeyLeviticus 26:8, 5/100 to flight; 10/10K to flight - A word for the children of Israel if they obedience Matthews 12:45, seven more evilJoshua 23:10, God fights for us

As a believer we are witnesses by the change in our lives, (as well as others who knew us-as an old creation) coming out of darkness and into the marvelous light of Christ. The witness of the change in our lives should always point to the witness of Jesus for their lives also.  And even though we can be a witness for Him, and even though people may not believe our witness of Him, rejecting Him only keeps those who do, from receiving His gift of Abundant Life. Believing in Him or not doesn't change who He is or what he's done. As 2 Timothy 2:13 notes, "If we are faithless, He remains faithful. He can't deny Himself."Jesus has a greater Witness than man who validates Him, and Jesus also validates the only True God. (John 17:3)Scripture Ref.John 5:37-47; The WitnessDeuteronomy 32:30, Matthews 18:30, Philippians 2:6, 

"If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true." ~ JesusIf the Son of God; the Way, the Truth and the Life makes this statement about Himself, then we must ask ourselves Who or What are we allowing to be our witness, proclaiming who we are?  Our humanity isn't a reliable witness because we tend to lean on our own understanding and from a vantage point that is deficient in the full truth. Scripture Ref. John 5:31-38, The WitnessProverbs 27:2, Don't let your lips praise youMatthews 12:34, Abundant heartProverbs 3:5-6, Leaning on own understandingHebrews 4:15, Tempted in all points1 Corinthians 15:14, If Christ didn't rise from the grave. 

"It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord..."Through these verses in John, 22-30, we can see the relationship between the Father and the Son. From it we can hear Jesus calling us to a 'like' relationship. Jesus did and said what He saw the Father do and say, and It's this type of relationship that He wants us to operate under. To live, move and have our being as one with Him and the Father.   It's time for us to Represent and Keep it Real by living in this oneness with Jesus by knowing the authority He has given to every believer, to say what we heard or hear (by the Holy Spirit) Him say and do what we have seen or see (by the Holy Spirit) our Jesus do or did.Scripture Ref.Proverbs 10:1, How foolish son affects motherMatthews 3:17, My Son in whom I'm well pleasedJohn 17:3, Eternal lifeJohn 9:23, Blind but now I seeMatthews 27:23-33, Coming out the gravesRevelations 20:11-15, White throne of Judgement1 Corinthians 11:31-32, Judging ourselvesIsaiah 53:7-9, Jesus was oppressedJohn 13:33-35, To love one anotherRevelations 2:17, Ear to hearMLK Quote: "Eleven o'clock on Sunday morning is, if not, the most segregated hour in Christian America"Romans 8:29, Conformed to image of ChristJohn 15:2, Purging for more fruit

While walking our faith journey, we can come across or appear to be judgmental. Some accusations may be valid but there are times when it's not. But to a caring, loving Christian who desires to see life produce life, sometimes these false accusations can leave us wondering "Is it okay to judge our brother or sister?" Especially if they quote scriptures that says, "Don't judge..." Through Christ, our example, and the Holy Spirit, our teacher, we pray that you will know the difference between Righteous Judgement and Unrighteous Judgement.Scripture Ref.Matthews 7: 1-2, JudgementJohn 5:22, JudgementRevelations 20:11-15, White Throne of JudgementProverbs 27:17, Iron sharpen ironMatthews 18:15-17, Offense against brothersJohn 3:18, World condemned alreadyMatthews 7:3-5, Mote on eyeMatthews 7:2, What measure you meteGalatians 2:11-14, Paul correction to PeterJohn 17:21, All be one

What would you do if you had an illness for 38 years and your only hope (you thought) was a hospital named Bethesda. But the odds of you getting healed was riding on an unknown visit by a Host of Heaven. And even if He did show up, would you have the strength or help to finally get your healing.As we enter Chapter Five of John here, we will discover how Jesus troubled not only the waters to heal this 38-year lame man but how he troubled the waters of Religion. to how his 38 years of waiting comes to an end but also the impact that it makes on his life.Scripture Ref.John 5:13 - 20John 17:21 - "...that they all may be one..."Acts 9:4-"...why do you persecute me..."John 5:19, 30, 8:28 - The three do nothings John 15:5" ...Without me you can do nothing."John 14: 12 "...greater work will you do..."John 16:7 "...I depart...I will send him "(the Holy Spirit)

There was a lot that Jesus gave and gave up becoming flesh to dwell among us. In order for us to experience seeing and touching God without becoming a burnt offering He had to come to earth clothed in flesh...our only chance to experience the Creator of Heaven and Earth on our level and from our vantage point.Scripture Ref.Hebrews 4:15 – The Sinless High PriestRomans 5:19 – Disobedience versus ObedienceExodus 34:30,34-35 – Moses shinesExodus 33:19-20 – Moses got God's backHebrews 12:2 – Jesus despised the shame1 John 1:5 – No Darkness in HimJames 4:8 – Drawing closerJohn 17:1,5 – Return of the GloryMatthew 3:16 – Baptize to thriveJohn 14:26 – Teacher of all thingsJohn 16:13 – Truth GuidePsalms 16:11 – Fullness of Joy1 Corinthians 6:19-20 – Not our own/Bought with a priceJohn 15:5,7 – Nothing without Him; Abiding in HimActs 17:28 – Living, moving and beingJohn 17:21 – One with GodJohn 11:42 – The Prayer God always hears

Meditating on this story of the Nobleman and Christ, though the Nobleman receives what he petitions Christ for, Jesus leaves us wondering 'why we believe', with these words, "...Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe."  Ask yourself, why do we believe? or, why don't we believe?Scripture Ref.John 4:46-54 2 Corinthians 5:17...old things are passed away 1 Peter 4:1...same mind as Christ Romans 8:1...walk after the Spirit Romans 13:14...Put on Christ Ephesians 5:11-12 ...armor of God, ...we wrestle not against flesh and blood 2 Corinthians 10:4...weapons of our warfare Romans 8:28...All things work together for good James 1:2...count it all joyNumbers 23:19...not like man that he should lie John 20:29...Blessed are they who believe and haven't seen Isaiah 55:8…His thoughts; His ways 1 Peter 2:9...darkness to M- Light Ephesians 2:6...seated in heavenly places Romans 8:29...conformed into His Son's image Romans 12:2...Transformed mind

Podcast description: This is the final part of Chapter Three of John. And John enlightens us to stay focus on our God given mission and don't get caught up in the comparison game. John, like Christ, shares the gospel to his disciples…that Jesus is the one and the one to follow.Scripture References: Luke 1:44 - The Voice of His Presence Matthew 3:3 – Making straight the way of the Lord Matthew 14:29– Getting out of the Boat John 17:14 – Not of this World Luke 17:18-23 – The Kingdom of God is within usJohn 5:19 – Do anything what he sees the father do. Luke 24:44 – Moses, prophets, and Psalms speaks of him.Matthews 17:5 – Hear ye HimJohn 6:15 – People want to make him King

In verses 22-36 we read John the Baptist holding firm to the Truth when those close to him wanted to bring him down with the weeds of comparison.Scripture References: Luke 1:29 – The Lamb of GodJohn 3:22-26 - Standing strong in the Truth  

This is the final part of the Nicodemus and Jesus conversation. There are certain words used by Christ that are pointed and that we all should take note of; it is once again about two trees, two options, two choices, a simple explanation of salvation and condemnation; eternal life and perishing; darkness and light and doing truth or doing evil. The gospel is about a love that wants to save all those who no longer want to remain condemned. Scripture References: I John1:9 - Faithful and just to forgiveI John 2:1 - Our Advocate Hebrews 7:25 – Our intercessorJohn 11:42 – The Father always hears the Son. Ephesians 1:20- In Heavenly places John 17:14 – In the World not of it Luke 17:20-21 – The Kingdom of God is within usRomans 14:17 – Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost are the Kingdom of God I Corinthians 4:20 – Kingdom of God is in powerRomans 8:29 – Conformed to the image of Christ John 7:50-52 – At Christ defense John 19:39 - Spices for the burial of Jesus I John 1:10 – If we say we have not sinnedRomans 12:2 – A transformed mindI Thessalonians 5:18 – Giving thanks is the will of GodActs 4:13 – Being with JesusI Peter 2:9 – Out of darkness and into the marvelous lightI John 2:29 – Born again indicator…righteousness I John 2:3 – Born again indicator…keep His commandmentsI John 3:9 - Born again indicator…do not sinI John 5:1 Born again indicator…believe Jesus is ChristI John 5:4 Born again indicator…An overcomerI Peter 1:23 Born again indicator…An incorruptible seedMatthew 5:44 -  Born again indicator…Love

When God himself comes to share the gospel with humanity...what manner of love is this? Pay close attention to the substance of His gospel message and take notes. Scriptural References:John 4:1-38John 1:12-13Numbers 21:8-9

We wanted to revisit the beginning of John 3 because we wanted to read it and look at the Nicodemus and Jesus's conversation in a different and powerful way. This conversation was more than two people getting together and talking about spiritual things. It was God, Creator of Heaven and Earth coming down from Heaven and sharing the Gospel with humanity, face to face. Think about it, Jesus is evangelizing Nicodemus, so pay attention to the message that Jesus is laying down because when God shares the gospel its information worthy to take to heart.Scripture References:John 3:16 - God so lovedJohn 3:1-8 - Must be born againJohn 1:13-14 - Born by the will of GodJohn 2:23-25 - Jesus knows our heart beyond our witness.Exodus 20:18-21 - Not willing to pursue the truth.James 1:5 - Ask for wisdom1 Timothy 2:4 - Saved through truth.

If you had the choice to go back into the womb of your mom, for whatever reason, would you?Thankfully it can't be done, but there may be times when some moms would wish that their baby could go back into the womb. To correct an issue that could've prevented a miscarriage. To be born again would be to save a life. And just like Jesus mentions to Nicodemus that you can't enter the Kingdom of God unless you are Born Again.  Religion can't take you there, You Must Be Born Again?Scripture ReferencesJohn 3:1-11  - Nicodemus and Jesus talks about a life of being Born AgainJohn 1:12-13 - Born by GodJohn 17:16 - Not of this World2 Peter 1:13-14 - Different way of living.John 14:17 - The World can't receive the Holy SpiritRomans 8:6-7 - The Carnally minded can't know Spiritually dictations1 John 5:6 - The Spirit is our Eye Witness

After Jesus cleans house the Jews ask Him this question, "What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?" Interesting question, right?  On the last podcast we made a correlation between Jesus cleaning up the temple, made by men and the temple, made by God and how Jesus comes in and cleans up our lives. The Jews are basically asking the question, what sign can you give us that you have permission to do what you are doing? Let's see what Jesus says and how can that question be related to what He does in us.John 2:19-25Matt 26:61 - Listening to Christ with a carnal earMatt 27:40 - Listening to Christ with a carnal earJohn 6 - eat my flesh and drink my bloodMatt 24:3 - Sign of the end timesI Corinthians 3:16-17, 19 and 2 Corinthians 6:16 - Temple of GodMatt 7:21-23 - Testifying of Christ but with a wrong heart.
