Living by faith starts by (1) submitting our heart to Christ as our Lord and trusting in Him as our Source, and then (2) building our lives upon Him as our Foundation by HEARING and DOING His WORDS (1Cor 3:11, Matt 7:24-25, Col 2:6-7). There are 3 Dimensions to the problem of SIN: *(1) IMPUTED SIN. Through our union to Adam, we were in a legal state of guilt in Adam. *(2) IMPARTED SIN – we inherited a SIN-NATURE in our flesh from Adam through physical birth. When Adam sinned his spirit died (cut off from God's life) and a sin-nature came into his flesh (bringing his body under the power of death), and he became a slave of the sin-nature (SIN). SIN acts on man's soul to cause him to live independently from God (the independent soul-life). SIN was transmitted by physical birth from Adam to every human being through their father, with the exception of Jesus, who had no sin-nature (2Cor 5:21). So, we all have SIN in our flesh (1John 1:8). The inherited sin-nature made us all sinners by nature. We were all conceived in sin (Ps 51:5), born slaves of sin (John 8:34), under the power of sin (Rom 3:9). commit SINS. *(3) Our PERSONAL SINS, which we commit when we yield to SIN. (1) On the Cross, Jesus has set us free from the PENALTY of sin. (2) Now by His Spirit within us He is setting us free from the POWER of sin. (3) At the future Resurrection, He will set us free from even the PRESENCE of sin. (1) Christ dealt with our state of sin (our imputed sin from Adam) by becoming the 2nd Adam, offering Himself as our Representative Head, instead of the first Adam. He lived a perfectly righteous life, and on the Cross He accomplished a Great Exchange, by offering up His perfect righteousness to God on our behalf, and taking all our sin. So when we receive Christ as our Lord, we are taken out of Adam and put (baptised) into Christ. Then this exchange is immediately accomplished in us, so all our sin is remitted, and we are given His perfect righteousness (imputed to us as a free-gift), putting us in right relationship with God. As IN ADAM we were all in a state of sin, before we committed any sin, even so IN CHRIST we were put into a state of perfect righteousness before God, even before we committed any righteous act. On this basis, we are declared righteous (justified) and fully accepted by God in Christ. On this legal basis, we can now receive life from God through faith (Romans 5:1,2,17-19). Now we are under grace (Romans 6:14,15), and qualify to receive God's abundant grace. (2) However, believers still have a sin-nature in their flesh, as the new birth only changed our spirit; so as long as we live in our flesh, we still have SIN to deal with (1John 1:8). But Jesus came to set us free from SIN (John 8:34-36). He did 2 things to make it possible for us to live in victory over sin: *(1) He provided a NEW BIRTH for our SPIRIT, and put His Holy Spirit within our spirit. Our spirit was made alive with Christ, and raised with Christ far above all sin and evil powers (Ephesians 2:5-6). Our spirit consists of His resurrection life, which has already overcome sin and is perfect in Christ. Also, the Holy Spirit indwells our spirit, so He has set our spirit, the core of our being, completely free from sin (2Cor 3:17). God has restored our spirit as His base of operation in us, and as we live by His grace thru faith and walk in the Spirit we will not sin, for the power of the Spirit is greater than the power of sin in the flesh (Gal 5:16). Thus, He gave us His imparted righteousness in our spirit, by which we can live in victory over the imparted sin in our flesh, by the power of His Spirit. The more we let the Spirit fill our soul, the more our soul is freed from the power of sin-nature, by His Presence within us (2Cor 3:17). Romans 8 describes how to walk in victory over SIN in the flesh. It starts by establishing that through His imputed righteousness, we are in a legal state of righteousness before God, and so have full access to His Spirit of grace to walk in victory over sin. This is the foundational truth for victory (v1,2). *(2) The 2nd thing Christ did for us is that on the Cross, is He JUDGED SIN in the flesh, so that it no longer has any right to rule over you, so now you can choose to submit to Christ and His righteousness and grace flowing from the Spirit, rather than to your old slave-master of SIN in your flesh (v3-4).

Struggles with depression, doubt, and despair are a somber reality for many of God's people. If that is your experience, you aren't alone in walking that dark path. Many noble Christians have had to endure these trials - including the character, Christian, in Pilgrim's Progress. Is there deliverance from Giant Despair and Doubting Castle? And where can we find hope to carry on in the darkness?

A santificação é um processo pelo qual todo crente passa desde o dia que confessa Jesus como Senhor. Ao longo da caminhada, o crente “aperfeiçoa a santidade no temor do Senhor”, como disse Paulo em 2Coríntios 7.1. O aperfeiçoamento da santidade é o mesmo que o “desenvolvimento da salvação”. Trata-se deste processo gradual e contínuo que o crente começa a experimentar no dia que nasce de novo. Somos chamados de santos nos textos do Novo Testamento, mas isso não significa que não exista um processo de santificação em andamento. No dia que nosso espírito humano foi recriado e recebemos a natureza de Deus em nosso coração, fomos feitos santos, separados para Deus através do reconhecimento da obra de Jesus por nós. Porém, a vida continua e durante o restante da nossa vida estamos em constante aperfeiçoamento e crescimento espiritual, tornando-nos cada vez mais parecidos com a imagem daquele que nos resgatou e isso também envolve o conceito de santificação. Além disso, quando finalmente no futuro nossos corpos forem transformados, a santificação terá sido concluída de forma plena e irreversível. No entanto, se ao longo da caminhada um crente porventura venha a pecar, é claro que naquele momento ele contamina sua pureza e mancha a sua santidade; porém, se ele fizer o que Deus espera que ele faça depois de já ter cometido pecado, ou seja, reconhecer o pecado como tal, Deus é fiel e justo para perdoar o seu pecado e lhe purificar da toda injustiça. O processo de confissão de pecados na vida do crente também faz parte da sua santificação enquanto ele se encontra do lado de cá da eternidade. Quando o crente peca e se sente bem, isso é mal; mas se o crente peca e ainda se sente mal, isso é bom. Reconhecer o erro e confessar o pecado é a única maneira realmente bíblica de um crente manter a sua santificação em dia depois que já errou. ------------------------------- Se você tem interesse em nos apoiar neste trabalho, saiba que nos sentiremos honrados em receber suas doações; além disso, você estará cooperando conosco para que continuemos produzindo mais materiais para a glória de Deus e edificação do Corpo de Cristo.

It's human nature to see the red flags in other people, but not in ourselves. Being solid requires that we look inwards, examining ourselves to know if we are who God wants us to be. To build relationships on the rock, we must first build ourselves on the rock. How do you build yourself on the rock?

Leaders do not just lead just from legacy, they lead into legacy! Has our ability to  excavate the past (benchmarks, successes, cultural traditions) kicked up proverbial dust that has fogged our vision for what we want to achieve now within our organizations? Join us as we explore how God draws upon us to renewal and an insatiable progressive mindset within our leadership journey! Let's get it! Key Concepts John 20.

What is the grand argument for the gospel, and the great warrant of faith-- It is that God made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him -2Cor 5-21-. Paul tells us that a Substitute is appointed, that sin is imputed, that righteousness is granted, and thus those who believe are reconciled.

Our afflictions are light compared in light of eternity. It's all perspective!2Cor. 4:1  Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.2Cor. 4:8   We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.— — —Watch/Listen here using our Subsplash WebShare Playerhttps://subspla.sh/4tsscjbListen here on archive.orghttps://archive.org/download/011523-am-facebook-stream/011523AM-FacebookStream.mp3

Greetings everyone and welcome to this last extra podcast this year. Merry Christmas and may you have a very blessed new year. If you are one who started around January 1 listening to the DBRP and are about to finish the plan on December 31, congratulations to you! I hope you celebrate that achievement! As always, I invite you to come back some year in the future and listen again, but suggest that after a full year with me, it is time to find another Bible reader to listen to in the new year. Don't forget your own voice. Reading Scripture out loud is tremendously helpful, even if the audience is just you alone. If you have listened to the NLT this year, for some future year remember that I have also recorded the GNT. One of my projects during 2022 was to critically listen to the NLT series and fix poor recording quality and mistakes. I re-recorded a few episodes entirely, and made smaller improvements to others. I am continuing to do the same thing now in the GNT series. For those not on our email list, Gale and I recently shared pictures from my recent trip to Indonesia. If you would like to see that letter and a few extra pictures, please click the link here in the episode notes. Before January 1st, I will revise the dailybiblereading.info website and the Read This First pages, which contain all my advice about Bible reading and listening to the DBRP. (The link to the Read This First pages is found in the banner of dailybiblerading.info.) If you have any question you would like me to answer in those pages, please use the Contact button at dailybiblereading.info. I would like to update the information I shared about podcast players. If you have a favorite podcast app that works well for managing your podcast listening, please tell me about it. I will need the app's name, what platform it runs on, and why you recommend it. In my October extra podcast, I gave the second lesson in the series I call Buckling the Belt of Truth. That lesson gives my advice about how to understand spiritual realities found in the Bible, which are spiritual things about you that cannot be seen with human eyes. In particular, I dealt with the biblical teaching that you have been united with Christ in his death (being crucified with Him), you died and were buried, and now have been raised with Him to new life. Since you and I never actually experienced death, the Holy Spirit has been so kind as to give us multiple metaphors to help us grasp the reality of our spiritual resurrection. I think a key to grasping this concept is understanding our being one with Christ. At first I thought of giving you an allegorical treasure map, to walk you through the different ways Scripture repeats the same powerful idea. But in the end I had to recognize that I don't have the literary gifts of John Bunyan. (But don't miss reading his book, Pilgrim's Progress.) I started that Buckling the Belt series by saying how I struggled to find the promises that Peter mentioned in 2nd Peter 1, the promises needed for ‘living a godly life', the ones “that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires.” I am thinking now that not all God's promises need to be expressed in the future with statements like, “He who started a good work in you WILL …” (I'm referring there to a beautiful promise found in Phl. 1:6.) Promises can also be stated in the present, such as when Jesus utters 7-8 ‘I am' statements in John, and when He proclaims ‘you are'. One of those ‘I am' statements is found in John 15, where Jesus said, “I am the true grapevine, and my father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.” The statement, “I am the vine; you are the branches,” is actually a promise. It is a right-now promise. It is true of you now. But like many promises, there are conditions to fulfill. Some of the conditions are stated with the word ‘will', like we expect for promises: Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. As a Bible translator, I don't like the way our being united to Christ is expressed with the word ‘in', as in “Remain in me, and I will remain in you.” Greek talked like that. But we English speakers don't normally talk of branches ‘remaining in' a tree. Instead, branches are simply part of the tree. I would translate “Remain in me,” as “Stay joined as one with me.” We are organically one with our Vine, Jesus. There is a constellation of ‘treasures' found in staying joined to Jesus which He explains in John 15: 9 “I have loved you as the Father has loved me.” Then later he commands us to love one another. 13-15 This is the passage where Jesus calls us his ‘friends'. 16 Then Jesus tells us, “I chose you.” Those three are on my list of the things that most Christians find hard to believe. 11 “I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my Joy.” What a wonderful promise! 7-8 Let me give you my paraphrase: Jesus is saying,  “If you continue clinging to Me in oneness, and if you internalize my teachings, then I invite you to pray asking for anything you want, and it will be given to you. 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.” This is another amazing promise: Answered prayers! Wow, how come we aren't spending more time in prayer!   Let's keep on clinging to Christ. Meditate on being Jesus' branch. Ask God to help you internalize this new identity. Because then you will be able to reach out and touch God's other promises, like the harder one I mentioned: Being crucified with Christ and raised with Him. There is one more crowning jem of oneness with Christ in Ephesians that I didn't mention in the last episode. Since we are joined as one with Christ Jesus, we ‘are seated with Him in the heavenly realms' (Eph. 2:6). That verse doesn't say that we ‘have a future position with Christ', although promises to that effect are found elsewhere in the Bible. Instead Eph. 2:6 says we ‘are seated' with Him right now. Where is Christ seated? At God's right hand. (If you were standing directly in front of God, Jesus would be to your left.) The verse is a bit unclear as to how we could be seated with Christ. We might be seated circling God's throne. I like to say, “There are no folding chairs in heaven.” None of heaven's chairs are made of plastic. Your name is engraved at your place. There is a place reserved for you alone, and it is certain and permanent. But capitalizing on the picture of vine-and-branch oneness with Christ, let's imagine sitting on Jesus' lap, while He is sitting on his throne next to God. You are right there with the King of the Universe. Lean back and whisper in his ear! “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” Mat. 7:7 John 15:7 “If you remain joined to me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted.” Think of it: Jesus actually is inviting you to take advantage of your close position! From this place of acceptance and privilege, you are invited to tell the King what You need Him to do for you. But when you sit there, filled with reverence and awe, you will suddenly realize that some things you thought about asking Him are not really what is needed or important. However when the Holy Spirit helps you find your voice to ask, the things you wind up asking will be ‘for His glory' (that is to say, ‘in his name'). Such prayers are powerful! Then our passage promised ‘you will be filled with joy.' Why will we receive such joy? Because we will ask big things of God, and He will grant our requests, and God will be glorified. First of all, He will be glorified because we will sing his praises more thankfully. This is where I am right now. I am working to understand and internalize all that I just shared, because I am asking God to do some amazingly big things.   Messages from my Think Cabinet:Our church remodeled the worship center a few years ago. A heavy black metal audio cabinet, six feet tall containing a big rack of amplifiers was left abandoned. Eventually I asked if I might take all the outdated stuff from that cabinet and use it for something in my office. I didn't have a clear idea of what I would do with it. I have enjoyed it mainly as my Idea Incubation Box. It has light of seven colors seeping out of the cracks from the string of LED lights I installed. For a little more than a year I have been posting Bible verses inside the box that grabbed my attention. I'm going to share those verses with you now. (The verse references are given in the episode notes.)   Quote from Dr. Bob Utley, Introduction to Habakkuk: “It is acceptable to question God. However, often it is God's presence, not rational answers, that satisfy (as in Job's case).”     (This note is posted folded and very low. You have to kneel to open it and read it.) “Whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father in secret.”  Matt. 6:6   The LORD is near to all who cry out to Him to all who cry out to Him sincerely.  Ps. 145:18     Keep on praying with the help of the Holy Spirit. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. (Two translations of Jude 20)   Entrust your efforts to the LORD, and your plans will succeed. Prov. 16:3   A heart that turns from God becomes bored with its own ways. But a good person is satisfied with God's ways. Prov. 14:14     This is how our translation of Eccl. 12:11 sounds when translated into English: The teaching of a wise advisor is like a shepherd's stick that is used to guide and direct his sheep. May every saying given by this advisor and shepherd be nailed into the mind of every learner and guide them in living rightly. Eccl. 12:11 PET     Without [fully believing//faith] it is impossible to please God, for the one who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him. Heb. 11:6     Through suffering our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the LIFE of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies. 2Cor. 4:10   You love Him even though you've never seen Him. And even though you don't see Him, you believe in Him, and celebrate with glorified joy that goes beyond anything words can say, since you are receiving the proper goal of your faith, namely, the rescue of your souls.  1Pet. 1:8-9     The people of an evil and unfaithful era look for a miraculous sign. Mat. 12:39   Which of you wanting to build a tower doesn't sit down first and compute the cost?  Luke 14:28     Remember Uzziah: When he became powerful his pride destroyed him.  2Chr. 26:16     Do not envy sinners in your heart. Instead continue to fear the Lord. There is indeed a future for you, and your hope will not be crushed.  Prov. 23:17-18   One dead fly can make a whole bottle of perfume stink. Even so, a little foolishness can outweigh great wisdom and honor.  Ecc. 10:1     Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Christ Jesus. And don't think about ways to indulge your evil desires.  Romans 13:14     If you, though you are sinful, know how to give good gifts to your children, just think how much more your Father in heaven will give good gifts to those who ask Him.  Mat. 7:11     The LORD of armies has planned it. Who can stop it? He is ready to use his power. Who can turn it back?  Is. 14:27     It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us.  2Cor. 1:21-22   This note is my comment based on Weymouth's translation of 2Cor. 5:14. “His death was my death.”     Therefore, we who have fled to Him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary. Heb. 6:18b-19   There is a 8 year old boy who visits my office weekly and asks if I have put up a new note. I had to put up a special note inside the box telling how to get out of the box if you shut yourself in.   My sister or brother, have a wonderful time celebrating our Savior's birth. Gale and I send you our love and together say May the Lord bless you ‘real good'. Phil & Gale

Greetings everyone and welcome to this last extra podcast this year. Merry Christmas and may you have a very blessed new year. If you are one who started around January 1 listening to the DBRP and are about to finish the plan on December 31, congratulations to you! I hope you celebrate that achievement! As always, I invite you to come back some year in the future and listen again, but suggest that after a full year with me, it is time to find another Bible reader to listen to in the new year. Don't forget your own voice. Reading Scripture out loud is tremendously helpful, even if the audience is just you alone. If you have listened to the NLT this year, for some future year remember that I have also recorded the GNT. One of my projects during 2022 was to critically listen to the NLT series and fix poor recording quality and mistakes. I re-recorded a few episodes entirely, and made smaller improvements to others. I am continuing to do the same thing now in the GNT series. For those not on our email list, Gale and I recently shared pictures from my recent trip to Indonesia. If you would like to see that letter and a few extra pictures, please click the link here in the episode notes. Before January 1st, I will revise the dailybiblereading.info website and the Read This First pages, which contain all my advice about Bible reading and listening to the DBRP. (The link to the Read This First pages is found in the banner of dailybiblerading.info.) If you have any question you would like me to answer in those pages, please use the Contact button at dailybiblereading.info. I would like to update the information I shared about podcast players. If you have a favorite podcast app that works well for managing your podcast listening, please tell me about it. I will need the app's name, what platform it runs on, and why you recommend it. In my October extra podcast, I gave the second lesson in the series I call Buckling the Belt of Truth. That lesson gives my advice about how to understand spiritual realities found in the Bible, which are spiritual things about you that cannot be seen with human eyes. In particular, I dealt with the biblical teaching that you have been united with Christ in his death (being crucified with Him), you died and were buried, and now have been raised with Him to new life. Since you and I never actually experienced death, the Holy Spirit has been so kind as to give us multiple metaphors to help us grasp the reality of our spiritual resurrection. I think a key to grasping this concept is understanding our being one with Christ. At first I thought of giving you an allegorical treasure map, to walk you through the different ways Scripture repeats the same powerful idea. But in the end I had to recognize that I don't have the literary gifts of John Bunyan. (But don't miss reading his book, Pilgrim's Progress.) I started that Buckling the Belt series by saying how I struggled to find the promises that Peter mentioned in 2nd Peter 1, the promises needed for ‘living a godly life', the ones “that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires.” I am thinking now that not all God's promises need to be expressed in the future with statements like, “He who started a good work in you WILL …” (I'm referring there to a beautiful promise found in Phl. 1:6.) Promises can also be stated in the present, such as when Jesus utters 7-8 ‘I am' statements in John, and when He proclaims ‘you are'. One of those ‘I am' statements is found in John 15, where Jesus said, “I am the true grapevine, and my father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.” The statement, “I am the vine; you are the branches,” is actually a promise. It is a right-now promise. It is true of you now. But like many promises, there are conditions to fulfill. Some of the conditions are stated with the word ‘will', like we expect for promises: Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. As a Bible translator, I don't like the way our being united to Christ is expressed with the word ‘in', as in “Remain in me, and I will remain in you.” Greek talked like that. But we English speakers don't normally talk of branches ‘remaining in' a tree. Instead, branches are simply part of the tree. I would translate “Remain in me,” as “Stay joined as one with me.” We are organically one with our Vine, Jesus. There is a constellation of ‘treasures' found in staying joined to Jesus which He explains in John 15: 9 “I have loved you as the Father has loved me.” Then later he commands us to love one another. 13-15 This is the passage where Jesus calls us his ‘friends'. 16 Then Jesus tells us, “I chose you.” Those three are on my list of the things that most Christians find hard to believe. 11 “I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my Joy.” What a wonderful promise! 7-8 Let me give you my paraphrase: Jesus is saying,  “If you continue clinging to Me in oneness, and if you internalize my teachings, then I invite you to pray asking for anything you want, and it will be given to you. 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.” This is another amazing promise: Answered prayers! Wow, how come we aren't spending more time in prayer!   Let's keep on clinging to Christ. Meditate on being Jesus' branch. Ask God to help you internalize this new identity. Because then you will be able to reach out and touch God's other promises, like the harder one I mentioned: Being crucified with Christ and raised with Him. There is one more crowning jem of oneness with Christ in Ephesians that I didn't mention in the last episode. Since we are joined as one with Christ Jesus, we ‘are seated with Him in the heavenly realms' (Eph. 2:6). That verse doesn't say that we ‘have a future position with Christ', although promises to that effect are found elsewhere in the Bible. Instead Eph. 2:6 says we ‘are seated' with Him right now. Where is Christ seated? At God's right hand. (If you were standing directly in front of God, Jesus would be to your left.) The verse is a bit unclear as to how we could be seated with Christ. We might be seated circling God's throne. I like to say, “There are no folding chairs in heaven.” None of heaven's chairs are made of plastic. Your name is engraved at your place. There is a place reserved for you alone, and it is certain and permanent. But capitalizing on the picture of vine-and-branch oneness with Christ, let's imagine sitting on Jesus' lap, while He is sitting on his throne next to God. You are right there with the King of the Universe. Lean back and whisper in his ear! “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” Mat. 7:7 John 15:7 “If you remain joined to me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted.” Think of it: Jesus actually is inviting you to take advantage of your close position! From this place of acceptance and privilege, you are invited to tell the King what You need Him to do for you. But when you sit there, filled with reverence and awe, you will suddenly realize that some things you thought about asking Him are not really what is needed or important. However when the Holy Spirit helps you find your voice to ask, the things you wind up asking will be ‘for His glory' (that is to say, ‘in his name'). Such prayers are powerful!

And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. 29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. 31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. 32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face. 34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded. 35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.2Cor 3:1   Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;2Cor. 3:6   Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.2Cor. 3:12   Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.— — —Watch/Listen here using our Subsplash WebShare Playerhttps://subspla.sh/83qzjv7Listen here on Archive.orghttps://archive.org/download/121822-pm-facebook-stream/121822PM-FacebookStream.mp3

E44 Many translations say we will stand before the judgment seat and give an account of what we've done, good or bad. (2Cor 5:10) But, scary implication does not fit in the context of what Paul was writing in this chapter and when you hear the Greek understanding you will be amazed and thankful. Ultimately this verse is about grace and the result Jesus' finished work. Be happy!

Message regarding how divine perfecting is part of the process of obtaining divine holiness, by way of living a life according to the promises of GOD. Subject scripture: 2 Cor 7:1. Additional supporting scriptures: 2Cor 6:16-18; Jer 31:33; Is 52:10-11; 1Cor 10:20-21; Deu 32:16-17; Lev 17:7; 11:44; 19:2; 20:7; 2Cor 6:15

"Try and see God's glory when you read your Bible." That's great advice for every aspiring Bible reader, but how do do it? What does it actually look like to see the glory of God in a Scripture passage? In this episode we show what it might look to see God's glory in Acts 2. This chapter records the first ever flash mob. Who was behind this flash mob in Jerusalem? (1) Someone who is wondrously shy. (2) Someone who is wondrously kind. And (3) Someone who is wondrously wise.

Welcome to Paul's MASTERCLASS of the right use of authority in the church. It is given starting from the Corinthian congregation's question of, "Who is the BOSS OF ME?" Don't you want a leader who starts with HUMILITY, GENTLENESS and MEEKNESS just like Christ? (Yes. 2Cor 10:1)Don't you want a leader who is FOR YOU; who is SPENT FOR YOUR SOUL; whose priority is for your UPBUILDING? (Yes. 2Cor12:14-15,19; 13:10)Don't you want a leader who understands that it is a battle, a conflict of ideas, and warfare amidst conflicting, knuckleheaded ideas? (Yes. 2Cor10:3-4)Don't you want a leader that is on occasion ready and able to be BOLD and even SEVERE against the messengers of Satan that infiltrate the church? (Yes. 2Cor13:10, 3:12, 7:4)This then, is the kind of leader that I want TO BE THE BOSS OF ME. Please join me today for a 7 minute thought, and come back tomorrow by visiting bewithme.us or Apple, Google Podcasts.

Message regarding how the negativity that occurs in our life is a "thorn (annoyance)" that helps divinely perfect (mature) us in the and with the LORD. Scriptural references: 2Cor 12:7-10; Rom 8:28; 1Cor 13:1; Rom 15:1

Pastor Glenn talks about Biblical stewardship and the Grace of giving. 2Cor. 8:1-14; Gal. 6:6; 1Tim. 5:17-19

"In the book of 2Cor. 12:9 we read where the apostle Paul making an astounding declaration of faith that I would pray that we all aspire to. After praying to GOD three times for a healing. He received a denial every time but received a greater revelation. GOD spoke of what is better than his being HEALED! Rather that his sickness or weakness be the instrumental means to glorify GOD! Now we know that our GOD is omnipotentenough to use what we would deny and disregard to be the very evidence of GOD regining supreme over all!

Pastor Glenn looks at the principles of giving, underlying the fact that God wants us first and foremost. 2Cor. 9:10, 8:1-14; Rom. 12:1-2; Matt. 6:20-21

Evangelho (Lc 16,9-15) — Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia. — Jesus Cristo, Senhor nosso, embora sendo rico, para nós se tornou pobre, a fim de enriquecer-nos, mediante sua pobreza. (2Cor 8,9) — Proclamação do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo + segundo Lucas. — Glória a vós, Senhor. Naquele tempo, disse Jesus aos seus discípulos: 9“Usai o dinheiro injusto para fazer amigos, pois, quando acabar, eles vos receberão nas moradas eternas. 10Quem é fiel nas pequenas coisas também é fiel nas grandes, e quem é injusto nas pequenas também é injusto nas grandes. 11Por isso, se vós não sois fiéis no uso do dinheiro injusto, quem vos confiará o verdadeiro bem? 12E se não sois fiéis no que é dos outros, quem vos dará aquilo que é vosso? 13Ninguém pode servir a dois senhores: porque ou odiará um e amará o outro, ou se apegará a um e desprezará o outro. Vós não podeis servir a Deus e ao dinheiro”. 14Os fariseus, que eram amigos do dinheiro, ouviam tudo isso e riam de Jesus. 15Então Jesus lhes disse: “Vós gostais de parecer justos diante dos homens, mas Deus conhece vossos corações. Com efeito, o que é importante para os homens, é detestável para Deus”. — Palavra da Salvação. — Glória a vós, Senhor.

Dr. Tom Curran shares quotes from Hans Urs von Balthasar on mission, holiness, prayer and more! Tom shares insights from his family's scripture reflection on “Eat for the Glory of God.” (1Cor. 10:31, 2Cor. 2: 14-15 )

Tonight's subject is “Bloodshed.” In the Hebrew language, the word bloodshed denotes both murder and humiliation. You can take it in either manner. The Bible takes it both the shedding of the blood and being humiliated. We're told in the 53rd chapter of Isaiah, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” (Is.53:1). Then we read in Ephesians, “Though he was in the form of God…he emptied himself, and took upon himself the form of a slave, and was born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on the cross” (Phil.2:6). Now you read this and you may wonder, “What is it all about?” I am here to tell you every word of scripture is true. It is literally true, and you, individually, will experience scripture…every one of you. Tonight we will treat this in the form of humiliation. For as you know, as we are told, “He being rich, for your sakes he became poor, that by his poverty you might be rich” (2Cor.8:9). He humbled himself and became obedient unto death, taking upon himself the form of a slave, and was born in the likeness of men. Every man is a slave, born from below. But he who became us will lift us as himself, and we will be God, who created the entire drama.  Tickets are now available for Reality Con 3 a live virtual event on November 18-20th.  https://realityrevolutioncon.com/tickets Buy My Art - Unique Sigil Magic and Energy Activation Through Flow Art and Voyages Through Space and Imagination. https://www.newearth.art/ BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen to my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V The New Earth Activation trainings - Immerse yourself in 12 hours of content focused on the new earth with channeling, meditations, advanced training and access to the new earth https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118  Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our Facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 Contact us at media@advancedsuccessinstitute.com For coaching – https://www.advancedsuccessinstitute.com For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw Follow Us on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRealityRevolution/ Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_reality_revolution/ Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/mediaprime Follow me on MeWe https://mewe.com/i/brianscott71 Join our reality revolution group on twitter https://twitter.com/i/communities/1509405555579777024 Music by Mettaversewaking dreaminner worldsconvergenceappeased soundscape 11love becomes ussuspended beliefmuted rainfor amomentworlds within worldsjourney into the multiversephaseslight holderssolacea still mindreunionlimitlesssolsticegolden lotuswaking dream 

You currently live in a tent that is temporary and falling apart.  We appropriately groan to be out of such tents.  We long for a dwelling place that is just plain BETTER.  This is exactly what God has in mind.God has a BUILDING, that is ETERNAL, in a nicer NEIGHBORHOOD prepared for His family.  Best of all, you get to have God as your NEIGHBOR.  Who wouldn't long for such a place?Mortal dwelling tents are going to be swallowed up by life.  Our crappy physical covering of our souls will be exchanged for newer, better, and eternal residences built by God.  I can't wait!  In the Meantime, subscribe at bewithme.us and apple podcasts and I will see you tomorrow if I am still in this decaying TENT.

FIGITV NETWORK - Our Daily Bread! 10-17-22  Strengthening the inner man ! Psalms 73:26 2Cor. 4:16

Stephanie enjoins us to embrace exotic faith with the goal of developing the perspective of heaven in our hearts - namely, in order to start perceiving our life and circumstances and relationships the way God does. God sees us as He created us to be—not as we are today, right now, with all our imperfections. He sees the finished product. One of Stephanie's favorite descriptions of ourselves?  "We are half-baked masterpieces." Masterpieces? That's how God calls us: Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Psalm139:14 -  I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Genesis1:27 - So God created mankind in his own image,     in the image of God he created them;     male and female he created them. But half-baked, because we are a work under construction. Philippians 2:12-13 - continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Ephesians 4:24 - put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Half baked masterpieces. That's you and me today. Stephanie shares, "The more I see myself as God sees me, the easier I will find it to delight in His glory." So in this context, how do we approach suffering, and how does humility give us the proper perspective when trials and pain hit home? Humility is both the soil that allows faith to grow, and the fruit that grows from that tree of faith. And it all points to delight in the glory of God as our ultimate goal and purpose. Paul tells us of his amazing revelations. He says he was caught up in the third heaven (2Cor 12:2). He literally got the perspective of Heaven. And it was so glorious, that he was actually at risk of developing pride. At risk of thinking he was better than others for having been granted such a perspective. So God, in His wise goodness, afflicted Paul with a thorn. Paul asks for the affliction to be taken away. That's the context for a few famous verses from the pen of Paul, when God tells Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2Corinthians 12:9) and Paul's conclusion, verse 10: For when I am weak, then I am strong. This is a lesson we all must learn if we truly seek to delight in the glory of God. Pride has no place in this quest. So Paul went from pride of place to delight in God. He didn't regret it for a minute: the moment he understood why this affliction was not taken away, but that it was given as a grace, then he stopped asking for it to be removed. He actually started thanking God for it. Not because he was masochistic or loved being in pain, or wanted to be pitied, or wanted to tell us how amazing he is for handling such pain. But Because he wanted to live in God's strength, not his own. Listen to the full episode now!

Does this concept strike you as reserved for spiritual contemplatives? What if, instead, it proved the highly practical, deeply foundational perspective you need right now? Why does God's glory even matter in our day and age? How can we learn from Jesus to make His glory our true North and lifelong quest? What keeps us from fully stepping into this God-ordained purpose for our life? How do we kindle delight for God on a daily basis? And, once we have embraced God's glory as our heart's true delight, how can we then come alongside others? Join us to cultivate a sincere delight for God's glory, rooted in an honest, hard look at the depth of our need, and in the much deeper Reality of His grace. Trace the glory of God through Scripture and in your own life. Behold the exact radiance of God's glory, revealed in Jesus. Learn to see yourself as Christ does—through the lens of the Father's love at the cross. Jesus offers to overwhelm our deadly self-centeredness with His resurrection power. He carries us every step of the way, even as He calls us to true humility on the path to glory. Who has time to cultivate the delight that comes from pondering the glory of God? And yet, nothing could be more urgent today. Marthas and Marys, Peters and Johns—we are all invited to dare to dream of a lifestyle of God-centered delight. Nothing could be more practical.

"Porque para Deus somos o bom perfume de Cristo, nos que se salvam e nos que se perdem. Para estes certamente cheiro de morte para morte; mas para aqueles cheiro de vida para vida." 2Coríntios 2:15-16 "E disse o Senhor a Satanás: Observaste o Meu servo Jó? Porque ninguém há na Terra semelhante a ele, homem íntegro e reto, temente a Deus e que se desvia do mal, e que ainda retém a sua sinceridade, havendo-Me tu incitado contra ele, para o consumir sem causa." Jó 2:3 "E edificou Noé um Altar ao Senhor; e tomou de todo o animal limpo e de toda a ave limpa, e ofereceu holocausto sobre o Altar. E O SENHOR SENTIU O SUAVE CHEIRO, e o Senhor disse em Seu Coração: Não tornarei mais a amaldiçoar a Terra por causa do homem..." Gênesis 8:20-21

"Foi-me bom ter sido afligido, para que aprendesse os Teus Estatutos." Salmos 119:71 "Para que a prova da vossa fé, muito mais preciosa do que o ouro que perece e é provado pelo fogo, se ache em louvor, e honra, e glória, na revelação de Jesus Cristo;" I Pedro 1:7 "Em tudo somos atribulados, mas não angustiados; perplexos, mas não desanimados. Perseguidos, mas não desamparados; abatidos, mas não destruídos; Trazendo sempre por toda a parte a mortificação do Senhor Jesus no corpo, para que a vida de Jesus se manifeste também no nosso corpo;" 2Coríntios 4:8-10

"E, para que não me exaltasse pela excelência das revelações, foi-me dado um espinho na carne, a saber, um mensageiro de Satanás para me esbofetear, a fim de não me exaltar. Acerca do qual três vezes orei ao Senhor para que se desviasse de mim. E disse-me: A Minha Graça te basta, porque o Meu Poder se aperfeiçoa na fraqueza. De boa vontade, pois, me gloriarei nas minhas fraquezas, para que em mim habite o Poder de Cristo. Por isso sinto prazer nas fraquezas, nas injúrias, nas necessidades, nas perseguições, nas angústias por amor de Cristo. Porque quando estou fraco então sou forte." 2Coríntios 12:7-10

Por isso sinto prazer nas fraquezas, nas injúrias, nas necessidades, nas perseguições, nas angústias por amor de Cristo. Porque quando estou fraco então sou forte. 2Coríntios 12:10 Para que a prova da vossa fé, muito mais preciosa do que o ouro que perece e é provado pelo fogo, se ache em louvor, e honra, e glória, na revelação de Jesus Cristo; Ao qual, não O havendo visto, amais; no qual, não O vendo agora, mas crendo, vos alegrais com gozo indescritível e glorioso; Alcançando o fim da vossa fé, a salvação das vossas almas. 1Pedro 1:7-9

Intercessory Prayer by Dutch Sheets, Part 14 - Who Administers the New Covenant?, presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz. Dutch Sheets uses 2Cor 3:6 to claim that we administer the new covenant. We show that the covenant was initiated by God, the terms are determined by God, and we have access to the blessings of the new covenant through Christ alone, with no other mediator.

DIET OR LIFESTYLE CHANGE? "And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."(2Cor 5:15) Those of us who have accepted Jesus as our Saviour are those Paul described here, as those who live. If we are reading this now, we are alive, but to really live we need to be those who have been forgiven and who are sure of the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ. He died for us so that we could have this hope. What this should do for us is to make a radical change in the way we live. I was told by the doctor a while ago that I needed to lose some weight. When I next went back to see him, having lost some weight, he asked me what diet I had been on. My reply was that I wasn't using a diet, but that I had made a lifestyle change. It is easy to diet, but it only gives temporary results. A lifestyle change works. It is the same in Christ. We can radically commit to attending services and reading the Bible, but unless we make a whole of life lifestyle change, no longer living for ourselves, but for Christ, who gave up his whole life for us, then it is as if we have been on a Christian diet. Lets make sure that because we live, our lives are drastically and permanently different to what they used to be. Let us no longer live for ourselves, but live every moment for our Lord Jesus Christ.

Intercessory Prayer by Dutch Sheets, Part 7 - The True Ministry of Reconciliation, presented by Bob DeWaay and Jessica Kramasz. One passage that Dutch Sheets consistently misuses is 2Cor 5:19. He claims that our prayers "release the fruit" of what Christ did. We show that contrary to what Sheets claims, the "ministry of reconciliation" is the preaching of the gospel.
