Touch of God Radio - Teaching Your Identity In Christ

This week we talk about seeking first the Kingdom of God. Far too often when we think about success, it is about money, power, cars, and an attractive person.  Success in God's Kingdom has nothing to do with these things. Many forget about Jesus and what He died for. We must remember Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus has nothing to do with the material things of the world. When you put Jesus first, then the things of the Lord become priority instead. It then is no longer about fleshly desires.  This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Hebrews 10:26, Matthew 19:16-22, Matthew 6:33, Matthew 6:24, Isaiah 55:6-9, Romans 12:2, 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Mark 8:36-38, 2 Corinthians 4:4-6, John 1:5, John 8:12, 2 Corinthians 4:2-3.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Truly I tell you, that you can pray all day, but if you are not praying God's Will, then you are praying outside of God's Will. When we pray outside of God's Will, those prayers are outside of the Kingdom of God. For example, a person prays "Lord, please bless my affair with my mistress. Bless me so I can continue to cheat on my wife." This is outside of God's Will. Another example: "Lord, I don't like my parent. Can you strike them down? The motives of these prayers are not rooted and grounded in the Lord, they are coming from a place not represented by the Heart of the Father. They are coming from those who have fellowship with darkness. This is outside of God's Will.   - Pray, Not my will but Yours be done  - How are we to pray? - God's Will starts with salvation - What does it mean to be born of the flesh and born of the Spirit? - Only God's Word accomplishes and does not return void - God prepares the way for you when you live, pray, study, acknowledge, and do His Will This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, 1 John 4:17, John 8:12, Luke 22:42, Romans 8:1-2, Romans 8:5-11, John 1:1-2, Matthew 6:5-15, John 8:31-32, John 8:31-32, John 3:1-8, Romans 8:9-10, 2 Peter 3:9, James 5:1, Matthew 6:33, Isaiah 55:11, Psalms 23:1-6.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Many are seeking God's face in the wrong way. Sadly, if we do not educate ourselves on the Lord's instructions, in the Bible, we will not see progress in our lives. God hears all of our prayers. If we are not praying God's Will be done, our prayers are not hitting the Throne Room.You see, only the fervent (white hot) prayers of the righteous availeth much (James 5:16). If you are not submitted to God (James 4:7) and saved (Romans 10:9), that is the first step. Following God's instructions and not our own is the second step. Why? Because when you become saved, while you believed God raised Jesus from the dead, you are also required to confess Jesus as your Lord (Romans 10:9). So Jesus is now leading you in your life. Your life is not your own; you have been bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20). Similar to an employee of a company, where there is a boss: the employee has to follow the rules, it is no longer what the employee wants any longer. Well, the same applies to the Lord's Kingdom, except the Lord paid a very great price for you, and loves you, both far more than any company would have paid for you. Not only this, the Grace of God actually allows you enjoy serving Him and there is no longer a separation between you and your Creator because Jesus has paid your punishment, in your stead... instead of you.Topics this week:- If you're not submitted to God that is half the problem- If you are still doing things your way, then you are not submitted to Jesus (James 4:7)- God's Ways are Higher- Only God's Word accomplishes and does not return void- Serving the devil and praying to Jesus will not get you breakthrough with the Lord- God prepares the Way for you when you live, pray, study, acknowledge, and do His WillThis program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalms 34:14-19, 1 John 4:15-17, Luke 22:41-44, Joshua 24:15, Proverbs 5:21-23, Proverbs 15:3, Psalms 24:3-6, James 4:7-10, Proverbs 14:8-12, Proverbs 21:2-8,Proverbs 21:1, Isaiah 55:6-9, 1 John 4:15-17, Isaiah 55:1-3.Pastor Catrice teaches this this week.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

This week we look at God's Grace. God is love, and so it is the love of the Great Jehovah for His creation, that reveals itself through His grace (undeserved favor) and mercy (withholding of deserved punishment). All of humanity gets to choose whether to love God in return, receive the undeserved free gift of salvation. This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Romans 3:23; Genesis 3:6; Romans 12:3; Matthew 17:18-20; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 2:11; Ephesians 4:7; 2 Corinthians 9:8.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

The Lord Jesus is coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle. Those who are believers, walking in spirit and truth, must focus during these times on the Lord. It is important to see and identify people, places and things that are causing, distractions, chaos and confusion in your life. Those distractions may be people sitting next to you in church. They could be people living with you. You must decide if you and that person are on the same path and choose this day Whom you serve. For those easily influenced by others, or what is popular, you can lose track of why you are at church. For this reason, we must be focused on the Kingdom of God. Many distractions can occur. Time can be consumed on the wrong thing if you are not focused in the right direction and meeting with Jesus. We discuss the following subtopics: - Jesus is looking for a Bride without spot or wrinkle - Distractions - Focus on the Lord - Do not follow others; follow only Jesus - Spend time with God - Whatever is important to you, that is what you focus on and give your heart to This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Ephesians 5:27, Matthew 25:1-13, Matthew 13:44-46, Luke 4:13, 1 John 2:24-27, Matthew 5:44, Colossians 3:1-2, Proverbs 4:25, Ephesians 5:15-16, Matthew 13:41-43.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

When we follow the steps of Jesus, we are not walking in our own strength. Jesus went before us and prepared a way. This way we just follow Jesus and do not have to figure things out. Jesus is the Door to Life. Short cuts will not help you get to Jesus. There are no other paths, but the narrow path to walk in the footsteps of the Lord. John chapter 10 verses 9 to 10 (Jesus' speaking): 9 I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture. 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). 11 I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep. When we come to the Lord it is because we are searching to walk the right way in life. When you decide to choose Jesus you choose Life. The topics this week include: - Following Jesus as Lord - Why do believers follow Jesus rather than men? - Discipleship is necessary through following Jesus - Be Disciplined and Listen to Instruction This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 10:9-11, Matthew 7:13-14, 1 Peter 2:21, Psalms 37:23, Acts 5:29, Proverbs 14:12, Proverbs 16:1-3, Proverbs 16:9, Psalms 119:133, Psalms 34:14-22, Proverbs 14:14, Philippians 4:8-9, Matthew 16:24, Luke 14:27, John 12:26, Proverbs 3:5-8, Proverbs 19:20, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Psalms 119:104-106, Proverbs 23:12, Romans 2:18, Proverbs 8:32-36, Proverbs 14:10-27, Job 23:10-11.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Proverbs 17 verse 13 says, 13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. There is only one way for evil to leave your home. You must stop allowing it in your house. This is why people need Jesus. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17). If Jesus does not dwell in your home then other things will. Freedom means following in the footsteps Jesus left you. If you're tired of your spiritual atmosphere, of serving a evil spirit or tired of engaging in witchcraft, come into the light with Jesus. Change your god to God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus made a way where there was no way. It's up to us to follow in the way of Jesus. It's up to us to do the work. No one can make a person live holy, read their bible, fast, pray, and do all that's in the Word that Jesus died for. It is instead up to us to choose this day Whom we serve.  The topics this week include: - Why should we follow Jesus? - Jesus has already overcome the world. - Jesus paid a price for you. - Jesus left us with instructions on how we can be set free and set others free. - How do we know how to follow Jesus? - Jesus is the Word of Life, so read your bible, day and night. - What choices do we have for our life? - Who is responsible for our life choices and direction? This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 Corinthians 15:55-58, Matthew 16:26, 1 John 16:33, Romans 5:6-9, Matthew 28:19-20,  John 3:15-16, 1 Corinthians 6:17-20, Isaiah 61:1-3, Mark 16:15-16, Psalms 37:23, John 14:5-6, John 1:1, Proverbs 3:5-13, Matthew 7:13-15, Philippians 2:12.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

It is very important for those newly saved to be able to find a church to continue to grow in Christ. In some of today's churches there seems to be a charge for joining a discipleship group. A charge or collection for healing, deliverance, prophecy. Inside some churches, coffee, books, food are being sold. So much is about sales and making money. A new believer must think the church looks more like a place of business than a house of worship unto the Lord. If Jesus turned over tables in the church for selling when He was alive, he definitely would turn them over today. What must God think of sending His Son here to die, and see people now charging for deliverance and healing?  -What should believers see and be discipled at Church. -What are new believers finding in some ministries today? -What is the Truth, the Way to Jesus, the Life to live? -Eliminating confusion about the Truth as a believer. -Comparing what is done in some churches, versus what is in the Bible. This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Mark 16:15-16, John 1:1-3, John 14:6, Exodus 20:15, Matthew 10:8, Matthew 18:6-7, Matthew 10:7-8, Romans 12:2, James 1:22, Matthew 21:12-13, Titus 3:5, Romans 11:5-6.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Clothes are borrowed, selfie backdrops are designed and props are bought to create the image the creator wants people to believe exists. All these things are created just to get you to believe that what you see is real, and cause you to want those things or that lifestyle. Because that lifestyle and those things are not real, you can not base your real life on a computer image.

Send us a textThe act of sitting on a chair in a Jesus-centered church does not make a person saved. Will some people wait until they feel hell on their back before getting right with God? It is not until life gets challenging that some even call out to God. We are required to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2 verse 12). Other people cannot get saved and repent for you. When Jesus is not a lifestyle, He is not Lord in all areas of your life or in any area. Do not wait until it is too late and be unprepared.We discuss the following topics:-Trying to Learn during emergencies, trauma and emotions -Jesus put training into place for us to overcome this world In Him, and be prepared-Some of the Life application benefits from having a lifestyle In Christ to keep you prepared and on the straight and narrow path to the Lord-To be like Jesus-Our assignment and what God has called you to, to set the captives freeThis program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): James 4:14-15, Colossians 3:23, James 1:22, Psalms 27:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18, 2 Timothy 4:2, Matthew 11:15, Philippians 2:12-13, Ephesians 4:11-15, Ephesians 4:14-15, Romans 12:2, Luke 10:19, 1 John 4:4, 1 Peter 2:9, 1 John 4:17, Acts 10:38, Philippians 4:6, Matthew 28:18-20, Isaiah 61:1-3.Support the showSend Us Your Prayer Request.

Send us a textThis week we continue with Part 2 of 'Not Every Door Leads to Life.' This week we focus on moving towards the path of Life. Identifying the correct doors. Understanding what it takes to find and remain on the narrow path that leads to Life. Remember: every person, place, or thing is a door. Why? Because each require you to allow a person into your life. You agree to enter the door of a location and you agree to use every object to let it into your life. If Jesus was a door then people can be doors that lead you into their lives and agreements for what they do. We discuss the following topics:  - Identifying the path to Jesus. - How can we find the Gates that lead to Life and the Lord? - Who shall enter the Gates of the Lord? - What are the benefits of seeking the Door to Life through Jesus? - What good is it to gain the world and lose your soul? This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Psalm 119:105, Psalms 37:23-24, Matthew 6:21, Genesis 4:6-7, 1 Corinthians 6:12, James 4:7, Philippians 4:6, Philippians 4:8-9, Philippians 4:8-9, John 14:6, Matthew 6:33, Matthew 7:15-16, Matthew 7:15-16, Hebrews 1:1, John 10:7, John 14:6, Philippians 4:9, Psalms 118:19-20, Matthew 7:14, Psalms 24:3-6, Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 7:23-24, Revelation 3:7-8, John 15:1-8, 1 Romans 5:8, Psalms 8:34, Psalms 119:2, Psalms 23:1-6, 2 Peter 1:4, Psalms 103, Matthew 16:26, 1 John 2:17, 1 Corinthians 10:13-14, James 1:13-14, Proverbs 22:17-20, Proverbs 22:19, Galatians 5:16.Support the show

[Is true fasting merely mechanical?] Is it only to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him [to indicate a condition of heart that he does not have]? Will you call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord?6 [Rather] is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke?7 Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house—when you see the naked, that you cover him, and that you hide not yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?8 Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking,10 And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday.11 And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.12 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Proverbs 4:20, Daniel 10:3, Isaiah 58:3-12, Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 6:16-18, Jonah 3:5-6, Jonah 3:8, Matthew 4:1-11, Acts 14:23, Nehemiah 1:3-4, Matthew 17:21, Joel 2:12-13, Ezra 8:23, Acts 13:2, Psalm 69:10, Psalm 69:13, Exodus 34:28, Psalm 63:6–7.Support the show

Amen (so let it be)." If we are wondering what is keeping us from blessings, know that we need to love what God loves and remove what replaces Him in our lives. IDOLS, things you're addicted to, and cannot stop worshipping, are what is keeping you from moving forward in Christ.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 Corinthians 10:14, 1 John 5:21, Jonah 2:8-9, Psalms: 16:4-5, Galatians 2:19-20, Exodus 20:2-4, John 4:23-24, Ephesians 4:11-12, Colossians 3:1-10, Hebrews:1:1-2.Pastor Catrice teaches on this topic this week.Support the show

Send us a textThis week we are looking at what could be blocking your blessings in your life. When we buy a house or car, we find out what the instructions are for owning what we have been given.  With blessings from God, do we even know what the blessing is? What can we be blessed with from God? What are God's Blessings? What is a Curse? Sometimes a delay in receiving or experiencing God's blessings are from not knowing the fine print of what you are entitled to. What are the instructions? Are you following them? Are you helping blessings or curses come about in your life? Thinking we know what God's blessings are, is not the same as knowing you are walking in God's blessings. This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):  Romans 5:8, James 1:17-18, John 3:16, John 10:9-10, Joshua 24:15-16, Romans 8:28, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8, John 21:17, Mark 16:15, Deuteronomy 28:1-15, Galatians 6:7, Luke 3:3-5, Isaiah 59:1-3.  Pastor Catrice teaches on this topic this week.Support the show

Send us a textThis week we dive into finding the path of truth. When you know the truth through the instructions given, you get results. In order to do that, we must know what lies do. A lie can keep a person stuck in a place, situation, relationship and much more. Why? Because that person cannot find the truth. Everything is based on something false and untrue. A lie can keep the person coming back because nothing makes sense. The truth breaks the chains of confusion because it is based on reality and facts. In fact, a lie holds a space until the truth replaces it. For those who are believers, you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free. This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Matthew 5:37, John 17:16-17, Ephesians 5:26, Ephesians 6:14,  Proverbs 12:22, 1 Samuel 16:7, 1 John 1:6-7, Colossians 3:3-5, Matthew 6:22-24, Joshua 24:14-15, 1 John 3:18-22, Proverbs 12:17-22. Pastor Catrice teaches on this topic this week.Support the show

Send us a textFollowing God's instructions can be rewarding, if that is what you are following. We must however first look at our motive and heart posture. If what you are asking God is different from what is truly in your heart, it can get confusing. Why? Because the motive of the heart can leave you going up and down. Are you following what God wants, or what you want? Can you trust your own heart? This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Proverbs 4:23, 1 Samuel 16:7, Jeremiah 17:9, Proverbs 23:6-7, Luke 6:45,  Matthew 5:28, Proverbs 8:4-10, Romans 8:6-10, Matthew 15:11, Proverbs 23:7-8, 1 Corinthians 11:31, Hebrews 12:5-8, James 1:19-22, James 4:7, 2 Corinthians 10:5.  Pastor Catrice teaches on this topic this week.Support the show

Send us a textIn the world today there are so many sources of information and instructions. As believers in Christ, we need to ask if these instructions are from the Lord. We also need to use wisdom and  understanding to determine how to carry out God's instructions.

Send us a textThis week we are continuing with Part 2 of 'Are Those God's Instructions?' This week we look at the idea of hearing from God, instead of following our own path.

We just need to decide if we are tired of our decisions in life and ready to be directed by the Great I AM.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Proverbs 3:4-6, Habakkuk 2:1-3, Samuel 15:22, Psalms 119:72, Philippians 2:12-15, Exodus 20:1-17, Hebrews 11:1-3, Jeremiah 29:11-13.Support the show

Send us a textThe final program in this series summarizes the key points covered in the entire series over the past nine weeks. The Truth that the born-again believer cannot have a generational curse, has been blessed by God with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places, and cannot be cursed because God has only blessed and not cursed His children. Additional supporting Scripture is also included from each episode in the series in this summary. This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Isaiah 61:1, Luke 4:18, Matthew 24:35, John 14:6, Psalm 119:89, 1 John 2:27, Psalm 103:10, Ephesians 1:3, Numbers 23:1-12, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Luke 10:19, Galatians 3:13, 1 Timothy 1:1-4, Titus 3:8-9, Ezekiel 18:1-23, Hebrews 8:10-13, Romans 10:12, Romans 11:13, Ephesians 2:16, Romans 12:2.Support the show

Ezekiel 18:22 shows the Lord stating this person shall live.For those who believe that the Lord takes pleasure in the death of the wicked, they are proved wrong in Ezekiel 18:23.  "Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord, and not rather that he should turn from his evil way and return [to his God] and live?"This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):  Ezekiel 18:20, Colossians 1:13, John 3:18, Ezekiel 18:21-23, Hebrews 8:10-13, Romans 10:12, Romans 11:13, Ephesians 2:16, James 3:10, Philippians 4:19, Romans 12:2.Support the show

Send us a textAs we progress through this series, we see the progression of this topic in Scripture itself. From recent episodes we have seen that the Lord did not visit the children of the third and fourth generation of fathers that committed sin as long as those children loved the Lord and kept His commandments.  The false teachings in the church about generational curses often do not teach this important clarifying truth! In this episode, we see the progression of how the Lord decides to handle sin in the Old Testament. We see from studying Ezekiel chapter 18 in today's program the Lord putting a stop to an old proverb being spoken. That proverb illustrating that the children were having to pay for the sins and iniquities of their fathers. We also read today in Ezekiel chapter 18 that all souls are the Lord's, and it is in fact the soul that commits the sin is the one that dies, not a child or a father of the one that sins. The Lord speaks to Ezekiel and gives examples of a just son not paying for the sins of his unjust father. Likewise, a just father not paying for the sins of his son. This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):  Exodus 34:5-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 2:4-8, Exodus 34:8-10, Numbers 14:1-24, Deuteronomy 5:7-10, Ezekiel 18:1-20.Support the show

Send us a textIn 1 Timothy 1:3-4, the Apostle Paul instructs Timothy to "...admonish and charge certain individuals not to teach any different doctrine,  4 Nor to give importance to or occupy themselves with legends (fables, myths) and endless genealogies, which foster and promote useless speculations and questionings." In Titus we see we are to "avoid stupid and foolish controversies and genealogies and dissensions and wrangling about the Law, for they are unprofitable and futile." This is further proof that the Christian should never attempt to search their ancestry line in attempt to find the root cause of their problem. Doing so is an act of blindness to the truth, and further pointless entrapment by the devil.   Instead the believer should already understand that their old self died and was buried with Christ, and themselves now a new creation, a new species which never existed before, has been made alive in Christ. No generational curses exist in the newly created believer. Stay abiding in Christ (John 15); do not bring back your old self from the dead. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2) so you now think like Jesus and your new Heavenly Father, instead of like Satan, your former father (John 8:44). We also learn in Exodus that even in the Old Testament, the Lord NEVER visited the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who LOVED Him and kept His commandments. This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 Timothy 1:1-4, Titus 3:8-9, John 8:31-36, Exodus 20:3-6.Support the show

"How can I curse those God has not cursed? Or how can I [violently] denounce those the Lord has not denounced?", so says Balaam to Balak as recorded in Numbers 23:8 (AMPC). God has given the believer every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places. You cannot be cursed and blessed at the same time. Therefore the believer in Christ cannot have a generational curse, even if he or she had one before receiving Jesus as Lord. The believer in Christ IS set free from all generational curses and can never be attacked or connected to one in the future.We also discuss the power of our tongues that are able to bring borth blessing and cursing according to James 3:10.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Numbers 23:8, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 3:1-5, Ephesians 1:3, Galatians 3:13, Deuteronomy 21:22-23, Galatians 3:14, Ephesians 1:5, James 3:10, 2 Corinthians 10:5-6.Support the show

Proverbs 26 verse 2 shows us that an unjustified curse will not affect its target. The verse gives us the imagery of birds flying by to illustrate that an undeserved curse does not settle on its intended victim. God's justice ensures that curses without merit do not harm the innocent, emphasizing the importance of living righteously and avoiding actions that might invite curses. This concept provides comfort to those facing unjust accusations or curses, reminding them that such curses are ineffective if they remain blameless.If the born again believer in Christ understands and believes in the variety of scripture that shows God's divine protection for those that seek Him, then nothing shall by any means hurt that person. (see Luke 10:19). Where the believer runs into trouble is when he or she believes that generational curses can still connect to them and affect them. It is like anything in the Bible. It only comes true for the person reading, when that person finds out the truth and then decides to believe in it, taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ, and rejecting any false teachings, including on this topic of generational curses.Any problem for the believer is not a generational curse, but their own actions. God has provided a way of escape from sin through trusting and leaning on His Son Jesus, being cleansed of sin and being set free FROM it after the believer confesses his or her sins. The believer simply needs to – believe – the scriptures that reveal the truth that they are set free by the finished works of Christ, repent (turn from) their sinful ways and actions and walk with Jesus with a heart of purity to the best of their ability.We also consider that the life of the believer is not necessarily a life guaranteed free of committing sin. It is extremely unlikely for a truly born again believer to desire habitual sin, since the heart of the Christian is going through a continual process of sanctification. However that does not mean sin does not occur, albeit hopefully with a sorrowful and repentant heart. How quickly the believer repents is the difference between one with a heart after Jesus, and one who is not trying to keep themselves unstained by the world. For the one with their heart focused on and seeking the Lord, that abiding with Jesus and the fellowship in the secret place ensures the continual divine protection from generational curses, and other evils from the powers of darkness and the enemies therein. (see Psalm 91:1-2 AMPC).This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Romans 3:23, John 3:3-7, Romans 5:1, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 1:13-14, Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 5:17, Romans 7:14-25, 1 John 1:8-10, Philippians 1:6, 1 John 3:2, Romans 5:19, Philippians 3:9, Romans 8:1, 1 John 1:9, Romans 8:13, Galatians 5:16, Romans 8:30, 1 Corinthians 15:49-53, Romans 8:38-39, Proverbs 26:2, Psalm 91:1-2, 1 Peter 5:7-8, Mark 4:18-19, Numbers 23:1-12.Support the show

The myth that it is possible to search for a sin committed by an ancestor in order to break a generational curse is a lie. Most people do not want to declare their sins to God, much less to their family members. So what makes us believe that we would know our ancestor's sin in order to break the generational curse?In any case it does not matter. The generational curse cannot “jump the tracks” to the believer in Christ, since, ‘ the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!'

The peril of “giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach” (1 Timothy 4:1) through someone you thought knew the truth of the Word of God. Instead they did not renew their mind and are teaching from their carnal understanding – the place where devils can teach us their own doctrines.One area where this is unfortunately prevalent is those that teach others the lie that a Christian, the New Creature in Christ, can be subjected to the effects of a generational curse.This week we talk amongst other things about the importance of doing your own research in the Word of God; asking the Holy Spirit to guide you into the Truth and validate what you are hearing from ministers. Failing to do so risks you inadvertently believing the lie is actually the truth and remaining in bondage to sin, addictions etc or whatever your captivity looks like. When, in fact, Galatians 5:1 says that Christ has made the believer free, and for that person not to return to a yoke of slavery.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 3:8, John 19:30, 1 Timothy 4:1, Galatians 5:1.Support the show

Today marks the beginning of a new series on the truth about Generational Curses. We will be studying the Word of God in order to show that it is not possible for a born again believer, a Christian, to have a generational curse.  The Lord came to set the captives free. If you are born again and believe you are still under some form of a curse, you captive in a lie born of doctrines of devils. These false teachings have permeated the understanding of some ministers and their churches. They may mean well in their hearts, but they are nevertheless deceived. As a result, some parts of the Lord's flock are staying in bondage even though Christ has paid for them to be set free.The Lord certainly does not want any of His people to perish through lack of knowledge, or for you to reject the knowledge He has provided in His Word in order for you to truly be set free.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Acts 2:21, Ephesians 1:3, Numbers 23:8, Romans 8:1-2, Genesis 8:22, Romans 8:26-30.Support the show

[Is true fasting merely mechanical?] Is it only to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him [to indicate a condition of heart that he does not have]? Will you call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord?6 [Rather] is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke?7 Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house—when you see the naked, that you cover him, and that you hide not yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?8 Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking,10 And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday.11 And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.12 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Proverbs 4:20, Daniel 10:3, Isaiah 58:3-12, Matthew 11:28-30, Matthew 6:16-18, Jonah 3:5-6, Jonah 3:8, Matthew 4:1-11, Acts 14:23, Nehemiah 1:3-4,Matthew 17:21, Joel 2:12-13,Ezra 8:23,Acts 13:2,Psalm 69:10,Psalm 69:13,Exodus 34:28,Psalm 63:6–7.Support the show
