We have begun October and tonite is the 10 th day of the 10th month on the Gregorian calender. Ten is the number of wholeness and this is a wholeness month. God is working on keeping our minds on Him to build strength and wholeness for our double portion time! We are in the Hebrew month of Tishrei at the start of the year after the Feast of Tabernacles and we passed through 2 holidays in one day - Shemini Azteret / Simchat TorahShemini Atzeret began at sundown on October 6th and ends soon after sundown on October 8th. Shemini Atzeret is another yom tov, where God says He wants one more day with His people. There was to be a rest that day. It was alsoSimchat Torahwhich is a day where there is remembrance for one Torah cycle ending and another beginning. During those days the nation of Israel declared war. On a day of rest , the enemy waged war. Let us recover what was lost and put our minds in a place of peace again as we pray and seek the Lord and keep our minds in perfect peace. The enemy seeks to keep our minds on earthly things- let us stand firm in the faith and watch him flee! Gird your mind with truth! Yeshua made a way for us to have His peace !Romans 8:6 (NASB) For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, Psalm 122:6-9. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. "May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces." For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, "May peace be within you." For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.John 14:27(NASB)Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”Philippians 4:5-7 (NASB) Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Jesus justifies us “Therefore, having been justified by faith,” Romans 5:1a NASB Jesus is our peace “we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,” Romans 5:1b NASB Jesus is our hope “through whom we also have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we celebrate in hope… Read More »What Jesus Means For Us

Are you struggling through a trial right now? When you think of the challenge before you, does it make your heart sink? How can we overcome even when it feels like all hell is breaking loose? Today we're talking about how you can navigate the storms of life. This will be a three-part series. Now today is for you if: If you're in a trial, coming out of a trial or heading into a trial. Challenges are just shadows. Psalms 23:4 “even though I walk through the valley of the SHADOW of death, I will fear no evil.” Jesus defeated death, hell and the grave (Colossians 2:15). They can't ultimately hurt us. We all encounter scary shadows walking toward us, threatening to take us down. We have powerful tools to help us through. To help us understand today's tool, let's go to an incident–a serious life-threatening situation–that Jesus and His disciples went through. READ Mark 4:35-41 NASB - Jesus calms the storm Why did Jesus rebuke them for being afraid? This incident came right after a day of Jesus talking to the crowd in parables (Mark 4:1-34). Mark 4:3,” Listen to this! Behold, the sower….” Listen in Greek means to hear God's voice, which is part of Him birthing faith within. Jesus tells everyone to really listen to hear God's voice because he's going to birth faith in them. Later Jesus says,” If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” Hear is the exact same Greek word–listen. Jesus explained each parable to His disciples because he wanted them to grasp something. Jesus said, “let's go over to the other side.” Then, after Jesus calms the storm, He asks His disciples, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Faith means God giving His persuasion. We can see from the disciples' reaction to the storm they weren't entirely persuaded that what Jesus said would happen, and they missed out on what Jesus wanted to do in and through them. How do I get this Faith–God-given persuasion? 1. Listen Listen to hear and let God birth faith in you. Romans 10:17 NKJV So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Spend time in God's word listening–actively reading in a way that we're listening to what God wants to show us. As we develop this “Listening” skill, God births His Faith or persuasion in us. It's this faith that takes us through the valley of the shadow of death. Action Step: What's one way you “Listen” when you're in the middle of the “Valley of the Shadow of death”? Next episode, we're going to develop some strategic “Listening skills” to develop this Faith–God-given persuasion.

This worksheet will help you overcome the fear holding you back and help you stop the negative conditioning. Thanks a bunch for listening! Until Next Time, Live Fearlessly Free

He said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” 7Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.” 8Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”John 13:12, 13  (Amplified Version)So when He had finished washing their feet and had put on His garments and had sat down again, He said to them, Do you understand what I have done to you? 13You call Me the Teacher (Master) and the Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is what I am. 14If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought [it is your duty, you are under obligation, you owe it] to wash one another's feet.  The Giant Doors Of Opportunity Swing On The Tiny Hinges Of Obedience.  Every Miracle Has A Price.  The Currency Is Obedience.  John 13:14-1614 If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought [it is your duty, you are under obligation, you owe it] to wash one another's feet.  15 For I have given you this as an example, so that you should do [in your turn] what I have done to you.  16 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, A servant is not greater than his master, and no one who is sent is superior to the one who sent him.

John 20: 19-29 (NASB) Jesus among His Disciples 19 Now when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were together due to fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” 20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be to you; just as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and *said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.” 24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” 26 Eight days later His disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be to you.” 27 Then He *said to Thomas, “Place your finger here, and see My hands; and take your hand and put it into My side; and do not continue in disbelief, but be a believer.” 28 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you now believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” John 21: 1-25 They were fishing and not catching anything Jesus told them to try the right side. But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 So Jesus *said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” 6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find the fish.” So they cast it, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great quantity of fish. 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved *said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/matthew-gaff/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matthew-gaff/support

Scripture:  Armor of God Ephesians 6:10-17 (NASB)- Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Gird your loins with the Gospel of Truth – John 14:6 (NASB) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” Breast Plate of Righteous – 2Corinthians 5:21(NASB) He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Shod your feet with the Gospel of Peace – John 14:27 (NASB) "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. Take up the Shield of Faith – Romans 4:20-21 (NASB)  yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.   The Helmet of Salvation 2Corinthians 10:3-6 (NASB)- For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.  We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,    The Sword of the Spirit which is the Living Word of God 1John 4:4 (NASB)- You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Isaiah 54:17 (NASB)- No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord. Hebrews 4:12a (NASB)-  For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword.   Books: “Young Hearts, Pure Lives” by Luanne Botta “The Warrior Within” by Luanne Botta   Links: http://www.luannebotta.com To give to the ministry of Moms in Prayer: Support Our Mission | Moms In Prayer International Moms in Prayer International- www.MomsInPrayer.org

Matthew 21:12-13 (NLT) Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. 13 He said to them, "The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be called a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a den of thieves!"   TREASURE #1: PRAYER TREASURE #2: HEALING  Matthew 21:14 (NLT) The blind and the lame came to him in the Temple, and He healed them.

I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices because My Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations TREASURE #4: IT'S FOR EVERYONE   TREASURE #5: DIRECTION    Luke 19:47-48 (NASB) Jesus was teaching daily in the temple but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him [His message], ... for all the people were hanging* on to every word He said TREASURE #6: PASSION  John 2:13-17 (NASB) The Passover was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling the doves He said, "Take these things away; stop making My Father's house a place of business." 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal [to boil, be hot; passion, jealousy] for Your house will consume me." 1 Peter 2:9-10 (MSG)  You are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do His work and speak out for Him, to tell others of the night–and–day difference He made for you–– 10 from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spiritlifechurch/message

CHURCH: [g1577 Ekklesia] an assembly, a congregation, those called out. Matthew 16:13-14 (NASB)  [First Mention of Church in the New Testament] Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" 14 And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."  Matthew 16:15 (NASB) Jesus said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"  Matthew 16:16 (NASB)  Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ [the Messiah, the anointed One], the Son of the living God." Matthew 16:17-18 (NASB) Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona [son of John], because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, My Father who is in heaven did. I also say to you that you are Peter [Petros: a stone], and upon this rock [Petra: a large rock; bed-rock] I will build My church; and the gates of Hell will not overpower it. 1. The Revelation & Confession of Jesus as Christ is the Foundation of the Church 2. The Church Belongs to Christ I will Build: [to build a house; a house builder, to construct, confirm, edify, embolden]   Psalm 127:1 (NASB) Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. [NLT - the work of the builders is wasted]   Proverbs 24:3-4 (MSG) It takes wisdom to build a house, and understanding to set it on a firm foundation; It takes knowledge to furnish its rooms with fine furniture and beautiful draperies. Matthew 16:18 ...Upon the revelation of Who I Am, I will build My church; and the gates of Hell will not overpower it.  3. Jesus Built His Church To Last 4. The Church Is Responsible For The Keys Of The Kingdom Matthew 16:19 (NLT) I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven [power & authority to open or shut: responsibility & accountability]. Whatever you forbid [bind, tie up, or lock] on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit [loose, open, or release] on earth will be permitted in heaven." Luke 11:52 (MSG) Woe to you experts of the law! You took [removed, held back] the key of knowledge [to come to know, recognize, perceive], but instead of unlocking doors, you locked them. You won't go in yourself, and won't let anyone else in either. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/spiritlifechurch/message

In God We Trust Explained: https://www.treasury.gov/about/education/Pages/in-god-we-trust.aspx AS SONS AND DAUGHTERS, WE ARE INVITED INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IN HIS FAMILY BUSINESS. I. How to get a DEMOTION? Never do any more than you are required to do. Never express disagreement or take a stand on an issue. Never stick your neck out on a new project. Never grow in other areas of your life. Never stay in a job very long. II. The Promotion YOU WANT can only come from GOD. For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert. But God is the judge; he puts down one and sets up another. ~ Psalm 75:6-7 (JUB) The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes. ~ Proverbs 21:1 (NASB) Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.” ~ John 19:11 (NIV) Become the person who can do that job better than anyone else. Make a detailed case to the Boss. Leave the Time, Place and Position up to God. Let God promote you someplace else, if He desires. His master replied, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.” ~ Matthew 25:21 (NIV) III. You must be Promoted SPIRITUALLY before you’re Promoted PUBLICALLY. Moreover, as you Philippians know… not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 15, 17, 19 (NIV) But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. ~ Matthew 6:6 (NKJV)

John 10:7-13 (NASB) Jesus therefore said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly. 11I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 12He who is a hireling, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees, and the wolf snatches them, and scatters them. 13He flees because he is a hireling, and is not concerned about the sheep.” Luke 15:4-5 (NASB) “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? 5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.” Revelation 5:9 (NASB) And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy art Thou to take the book, and to break its seals; for Thou wast slain, and didst purchase for God with Thy blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.”
