The Transformative Power of Serving Jesus Christ • Sunday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org Serving Jesus Christ is a life-changing commitment that brings profound transformation and abundant blessings. Understanding what happens when we serve Him is essential for living a purposeful and fulfilling Christian life. Today, we will explore ten powerful scriptures that reveal the blessings, challenges, and ultimate rewards of serving Jesus Christ. Matthew 16:24-25 (NKJV): "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.'* John 12:26 (NKJV): "If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor."* Galatians 2:20 (NKJV): "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."* Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV): "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."* Philippians 2:5-7 (NKJV): "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men." Colossians 3:23-24 (NKJV): "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Matthew 25:21 (NKJV): "His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'"* 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV): "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." Ephesians 6:7-8 (NKJV): "With goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free."* Hebrews 6:10 (NKJV): "For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister." Serving Jesus Christ is a journey of transformation, sacrifice, and abundant blessing. It requires denying ourselves, embracing humility, and faithfully following Him. The scriptures remind us that our service is never in vain and is richly rewarded by the Lord. Let us commit to serving Him wholeheartedly, knowing that He honors and rewards our faithfulness. May we find joy, purpose, and fulfillment in our service to Jesus Christ, for His glory and the advancement of His kingdom. Amen.

Worship leader Leah Rios brings this week's message, “Forgiveness.” Key Verses: Matthew 18.21–35 NKJV: “Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!' So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?' And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” Ephesians 4.32 NKJV: “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Psalms 103.12 NKJV: “As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Isaiah 1.18 NKJV: “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.” Luke 6.45 NKJV: “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Psalms 139.23 NKJV: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;” Jeremiah 17.9–10 NKJV: “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.” Luke 23.34 NKJV: “Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots.” Sermon Topics: Forgiveness, Restoration, Healing If you enjoyed the podcast, please subscribe and share it with your friends on social media.

The 9 Gifts of the Spirit • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 1. 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 (NKJV) "For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues." 2. 1 Kings 3:9-12 (NKJV) "Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you." 3. John 4:17-18 (NKJV) "The woman answered and said, 'I have no husband.' Jesus said to her, 'You have well said, "I have no husband," for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.'" 4. Acts 3:6-8 (NKJV) "Then Peter said, 'Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.' And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God." 5. John 6:10-13 (NKJV) "Then Jesus said, 'Make the people sit down.' Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, 'Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.' Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten." 6. Acts 11:28 (NKJV) "Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar." 7. Acts 16:16-18 (NKJV) "Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, 'These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.' And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, 'I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.' And he came out that very hour." 8. Acts 2:4-6 (NKJV) "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language." 9. 1 Corinthians 13:1 (NKJV) "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal." 10. 1 Corinthians 14:4 (NKJV) "He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church." 11. 1 Corinthians 14:22 (NKJV) "Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe." 12. 1 Corinthians 14:13 (NKJV) "Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret." 13. Proverbs 13:22 (NKJV) "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous." 14.

You Will Be Tested • Friday Service #fridayservice #remnantrevivalchurch #rrc #tested Matthew 4:1-11 (NKJV) Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." But He answered and said, "It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.'" Jesus said to him, "It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'" Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me." Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.'" Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. James 1:2-4 (NKJV) My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 1 Peter 1:6-7 (NKJV) In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. Romans 5:3-5 (NKJV) And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  

On this Resurrection Sunday, Easter Day, Pastor Andy speaks about how Jesus is the 'door' to a new life for us. Jesus is the door to the Father. He refers to John 10;7-10 (NKJV) " Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."Using a real door as a visual aid he speaks most profoundly about how Jesus is the door to a relationship with the Father. Our relationship with the Father in Heaven was lost due to the Adam and Eve's sinful nature in the Garden of Eden (book of genesis refers).Many claim to be a messiah or even the Messiah but the only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ. Let us open the door of our hearts to Jesus with faith in order to receive Him and receive eternal life.

Coming to the End of Ourselves? | Sunday Service  

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. John 12:1-6 NKJV 1. THE ENEMY OF GENEROSITY This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. John 12:6 NKJV Then Jesus said, “I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil.” He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, one of the Twelve, who would later betray him. John 6:70-71 SUCCESS IS CONFRONTING OUR WEAKNESSES AND OVERCOMING THEM! Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 2. THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF GENEROSITY And now, because of my devotion to the Temple of my God, I am giving all of my own private treasures of gold and silver to help in the construction 1 Chronicles 29:3 NLT Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the decrees of his father, David, so the king went there and sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings. 1 Kings 3:3-4 NLT While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins. “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.” Luke 21:1-4 NLT EXTRAVAGANCE IS NOT THE AMOUNT, BUT THE ATTITUDE BEHIND IT! She has done what she could and has anointed my body for burial ahead of time. Mark 14:8 NLT they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord 2 Corinthians 8:5 NIV THE MOST EXTRAVAGANT YOU CAN GIVE GOD IS YOUR HEART 3. THE REWARD OF GENEROSITY I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman's deed will be remembered and discussed. Mark 14:9 NLT When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.”; “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man's sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” Jesus responded, “Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believe?”;  Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”  And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!” John 11:32;39-40;43-44 NLT GENEROSITY IS A REFLECTION OF GRATITUDE But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!)  For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-6 NLT Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. Hebrews 11:6 NLT You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 2 Corinthians 9:7 NLT I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:2 NIV The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. Genesis 12:7 NLT For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NLT

Romans 5:12 (ESV)“sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men…” Psalm 51:5 (NIV)“I was sinful at birth,    sinful from the time my mother conceived me.” Ephesians 2:3 (NIV)”Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.” Titus 1:15 (NIV)“those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.” Isaiah 53:6 (NIV)“We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way” Genesis 3:15 (NIV)“He will crush your head,    and you will strike His heel.” Luke 22:19 (NIV)“do this in remembrance of me” Exodus 6:6-7 (NKJV)“I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians”“I will free you from being slaves to them”“I will redeem you with an outstretched arm”“I will take you as My own people” Matthew 26:36 (NKJV)“Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, ‘Sit here while I go and pray over there.'”   Matthew 26:37-38 (NKJV)“He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, ‘My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.'” Mark 14:33 (NKJV)“He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.” Luke 22:44 (ESV)“being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” Luke 22:42 (ESV)“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” John 12:27 (NIV)“Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.”Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)“For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

John 11:38-44 NKJV - Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Then they took away the stone [a]from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Lose him, and let him go.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mildred-kingsley-okonkwo0/message

For it is written: John 17:21 that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. (biblehub.com) Remember: Ephesians 4:1 As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received: (biblehub.com); Ephesians 4:2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, (biblehub.com); Ephesians 4:3 and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (biblehub.com) **Remember Holy Spirit confirming the covenant of Peace from our homebase given in 2020 of Isaiah 54, Matthew 24 along with Ephesians 6 concerning the gospel of peace and also the counsel found in Ezra, Haggai, Amos and many other places regarding our future in Christ Jesus for this end time generation on earth as in heaven for such a time as this and beyond? :D Remember Holy Spirit emphasizing the correlation found in scripture between his covenant of holy matrimony and his peace covenant! Regarding the bride of Christ, remember the betrothal we see in Hosea 2 cross referenced with many other scriptures speaks to the unity by faith concerning Jesus and the Bride of Christ...the mystery of oneness, it is written Ephesians 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; (biblehub.com) Recall the prayer of Jesus, recall the prophecies of the Bride in Hosea 2 and other places in scripture, see even with the examples below that speak to a clinging of sorts by faith, love, and Holy Spirit power! In the context of holy matrimony, a "clinging" takes place as written in Genesis: Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. (biblehub.com).  Paul begins for us the conversation of this profound mystery concerning Jesus Christ and the Bride of Christ as written: Ephesians 5:31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." (biblehub.com); Ephesians 5:32 This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church. (biblehub.com). Look at Holy Spirit bringing to our remembrance our discovery of the rare word Harmos glory to Jesus used in Hebrews 4:12?!? :D G719 - harmos - Strong's Greek Lexicon (nkjv) (blueletterbible.org) recall its meaning and context which speaks of betrothal, marriage which led us to G718 ἁρμόζω - Strong's Greek Lexicon (studybible.info) Harmozo another rare word in scripture! The bride in Song of Solomon is referring to this mystery of oneness in Christ with regard to holy matrimony, spiritual warfare *remember the revelation of the word Eirene and its context regarding the peace covenant, marriage covenant, and gospel of peace seen in Isaiah 54:5, Ephesians 6, Song of Solomon, and part of the new thing Yahweh is doing regarding his daughters of faith seed of Sarah we've discussed in times past and the prophecy in Jeremiah 31 as written: Jeremiah 31:22 How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land--a woman will shelter a man." (biblehub.com); 1 Peter 3:6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear. (biblehub.com)-remember faith by love in Galatians as written Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love. (biblehub.com); love covers a multitude of sins and casts out fear in the name of Jesus! :D 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love. (biblehub.com) and so much glory to Jesus remember Holy Spirit giving us 616 and confirmation of the promise regarding kingdom marriage that He has been in the process of "perfecting" his ordained kingdom marriages that shall spring forth in due time and season all glory to Jesus Christ! Please refer to Strong's #616 - ἀποκυέω - Old & New Testament Greek Lexical Dictionary - StudyLight.org He has caused us by his grace to abide in his love, grace, rest, and peace concerning his Word of promise! "perfectivize" you see in this word speaks to safe delivery of his promise concerning marriage promise given all the other scriptures cross referenced with the above most notably in Isaiah and James for example where it is written: Isaiah 66:9 Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?" says the LORD. "Or will I who deliver close the womb?" says your God. (biblehub.com); James 1:18 Parallel: Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

(biblehub.com); Mark 10:9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." (biblehub.com) which is a distinction being made for such a time as this Yahweh's joining versus the traditions of man concerning marriage: natural marriage of flesh we see with Zipporah offering insight via the living word of God as written: Exodus 4:25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son's foreskin, and touched it to Moses' feet. "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me," she said. (biblehub.com) versus a joining of holy matrimony we see in Genesis 2, Hosea 2, Song of Solomon 8, Zechariah 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts.

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. John 12:1-6 NKJV 1. THE ENEMY OF GENEROSITY This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. John 12:6 NKJV Then Jesus said, “I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil.” He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, one of the Twelve, who would later betray him. John 6:70-71 SUCCESS IS CONFRONTING OUR WEAKNESSES AND OVERCOMING THEM! Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 2. THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF GENEROSITY And now, because of my devotion to the Temple of my God, I am giving all of my own private treasures of gold and silver to help in the construction 1 Chronicles 29:3 Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the decrees of his father, David, so the king went there and sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings. 1 Kings 3:3-4 While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins. “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.” Luke 21:1-4 EXTRAVAGANCE IS NOT THE AMOUNT, BUT THE ATTITUDE BEHIND IT! She has done what she could and has anointed my body for burial ahead of time. Mark 14:8 they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord 2 Corinthians 8:5 NIV THE MOST EXTRAVAGANT YOU CAN GIVE GOD IS YOUR HEART 3. THE REWARD OF GENEROSITY I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman's deed will be remembered and discussed. Mark 14:9 When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.”; “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man's sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” Jesus responded, “Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believe?”;  Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”  And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!” John 11:32;39-40;43-44 GENEROSITY IS A REFLECTION OF GRATITUDE But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!)  For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-6 Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. Hebrews 11:6 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:2 NIV The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. Genesis 12:7  

The Light of the World In John 8, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world.” (ref. Jn. 8:12), one of seven such statements Jesus makes concerning Himself in John's gospel. Earlier, (ref. Jn. 6:35), Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” Each of these statements reveals something about the true identity of Jesus. In (Jn. 8), as Jesus speaks of Himself as the “light of the world,” He would continue to say, “He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (ref. Jn. 8:12). How is Jesus the light of life, and what do His words reveal about Him? John 8:12 (NKJV) “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” episode links: simplyrevised: https://www.simplyrevised.org episode notes: https://www.simplyrevised.org/post/light-of-the-world contact us: https://www.simplyrevised.org/contact read John 8: https://www.bible.com/bible/114/JHN.8.NKJV support simplyRevised: https://www.simplyrevised.org/support music by Eric Gwin: https://ericgwin.com  

Does this scripture line up with your life? Matthew 16:24–26 (NKJV) “Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Listen as Pastor Mike breaks down what it means to follow Christ and deny your flesh.

I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.

By Pastor Brandon Dirmann We started this series last week about being not just a believer in Jesus, but being a disciple (follower of teachings/teacher) We said last week that Jesus is not primarily interested in us believers (Even the demons believe) but in us being disciples. Disciple = Student who is a learner; one who follows both the teachings and the teacher. We talked about last week how being a disciple requires you and I to deny ourselves, take us our cross, and follow Jesus As we continue in our series I want to talk about what Jesus is really looking for (He is looking for our heart) Matthew 16:24-25 (NKJV) -"Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Matthew 22:36-38 (NKJV) - "“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment." This past Sunday was Valentine's day, the holiday where we celebrate LOVE (Or candy) Jenny and I have been together for 17 years. We dated for 5 years and have been married for 12 years. We old people! I remember when we were in High School we were kind of obsessed with each other, I mean mostly her obviously you can see why. (EX) - Like we would hang out together, and then we would get home and call each other and talk way too long (EX) - At school we would see each other before class, we would try in between, and then after class. (EX) - The craziest thing though is that we write each other notes during class (WOWZERS, this is before texting) I loved Jenny, she had my heart, my emotions, and definitely my mind and my thinking THIS IS WHAT JESUS SAYS THAT GOD WANTS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM TO LOOK LIKE Jesus says that the first and greatest commandment is to "LOVE" the Lord our God with all of our heart, our soul, and mind The word love is a "verb", that means it is an action. Love that is more than just a feeling or an idea, but proved in living. Heart means passion, soul is our emotions, and mind is our thinking (Jesus wants us all wrapped up in Him and His ways) It's not that God wants to be our "EVERYTHING", it's that God wants to be our first and our most precious thing Exodus 20:3 - God says that we should have no other gods before Him. Matthew 6:33 - Jesus says that we should SEEK FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (EX) - This is why I REGRET dating Jenny in High School, because she took the place of where God should have been. ? SO HOW DO I DO THAT ? God wants my passion and my heart. But what if my passion and my heart is not for God? JESUS GIVE YOU AND I THE "BLUES CLUES" in Matthew 16:24 when He says, "FOLLOW ME" // Matthew 6:1 tells us that our passion follows where and what we follow. Makes me think of the disciples and how after following Jesus he became their everything. CLOSE - How do I follow Jesus?

2 Thessalonians 3:6-18 New King James Version   Warning Against Idleness 6 But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which [a]he received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread [b]free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, 9 not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us. 10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and [c]exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread. 13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. 14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this [d]epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet do not count him as an enemy, but [e]admonish him as a brother. Benediction 16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all. 17 The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every [f]epistle; so I write. 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.   Under authority   John 5:30 (NKJV) “I can of Myself do nothing.

The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.   John 20:21 (NKJV) So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. John 12:1-6 NKJV 1. THE ENEMY OF GENEROSITY This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. John 12:6 NKJV Then Jesus said, “I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil.” He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, one of the Twelve, who would later betray him. John 6:70-71 SUCCESS IS CONFRONTING OUR WEAKNESSES AND OVERCOMING THEM! Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 2. THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF GENEROSITY And now, because of my devotion to the Temple of my God, I am giving all of my own private treasures of gold and silver to help in the construction 1 Chronicles 29:3 Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the decrees of his father, David, so the king went there and sacrificed 1,000 burnt offerings. 1 Kings 3:3-4 While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins. “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.” Luke 21:1-4 EXTRAVAGANCE IS NOT THE AMOUNT, BUT THE ATTITUDE BEHIND IT! She has done what she could and has anointed my body for burial ahead of time. Mark 14:8 They exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord. 2 Corinthians 8:5 NIV THE MOST EXTRAVAGANT THING YOU CAN GIVE GOD IS YOUR HEART. 3. THE REWARD OF GENEROSITY  I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed. Mark 14:9 When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.”; “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?”;  Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”  And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!” John 11:32;39-40;43-44 GENEROSITY IS A REFLECTION OF GRATITUDE But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)  For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-6   Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. Hebrews 11:6   I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:2 NIV   The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. Genesis 12:7

By Pastor Brandon Dirmann - Luke 4:1-14 (NKJV) - Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. 3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ” 5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.” 8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” 9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. 10 For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,’ 11and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” 12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” 13 Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time. 14 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. The Wilderness:  Literally: A place that is isolated, desolate, and it uncultivated and uninhabited.  Spiritually: A place or a season that is separated, isolated, and is for consecration.  #1.

Sunday sermon 11-10-19 "There Has To Be More...To Life" from Dennis Jones Scripture References: Matthew 4:1-25 (NKJV) Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” 5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry 12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: 15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: 16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.” 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Four Fishermen Called as Disciples 18 And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him. 21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him. Jesus Heals a Great Multitude 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 25 Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

By Pastor Scott Jefferson Scriptures - Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) - “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 understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” - Mark 4:35-41 (NKJV) -  “On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”” - Hebrews 11:6 (AMP) - “But without faith it is impossible to walk with God and please Him, for whoever comes near to God must necessarily believe that God exists and that He rewards those who earnestly and diligently seek Him.” - 2 Peter 1:4 (NKJV) - “…have been given… exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” - Luke 4:1-4 (NKJV)  - “Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. 3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ” - Romans 8:5-6 (NKJV) - “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” - Romans 8:14 (NKJV) - “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” - Romans 8:17 (NKJV) - “and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified together.” - Hebrews 5:7-9 (NKJV) - “who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him” - Matthew 26:36-39 (NKJV) - “Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Message Points 1.

RIPPLE What if you held the power to change the world? What if you had the resources to simply make a choice that could impact destinies, prevent suffering and guide the generations of tomorrow? Would you use your power? While many people are waiting for the spectacular fantasies of some far away power, Jesus talked about something as small as everyday choices. Through right choices humans possess the power to drop a pebble, to start a wave, and to make an eternal ripple. Doing good, serving well, giving generously and inviting radically are all within our atomic choices; and when combined with other’s atomic choices we create a massive tidal wave of change.

"But you ask, 'HOW are we robbing you?’” IN TITHES AND OFFERINGS. 9 You are UNDER A CURSE - your whole nation--because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the WHOLE TITHE into the STOREHOUSE, that there may be FOOD IN MY HOUSE. TEST ME in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN and POUR OUT SO MUCH BLESSING that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I WILL PREVENT pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe," says the LORD Almighty. 12 "Then ALL THE NATIONS WILL CALL YOU BLESSED, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty. 13 "You have SPOKEN ARROGANTLY AGAINST ME," says the LORD. "Yet you ask, 'WHAT have we said against you?' 14 "You have said, 'It is FUTILE TO SERVE GOD. WHAT DO WE GAIN by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD Almighty? 15 But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly EVILDOERS PROSPER, and even when they put God to the test, THEY GET AWAY WITH IT.' " 16 Then THOSE WHO FEARED THE LORD talked with each other, and the LORD LISTENED and HEARD.

LIVING BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE SERIES BIO:  The Biblical narrative implies that a normal relationship with God includes miracle interventions. This is promised through Jesus' teachings, creating a vision that "all things are possible" to those who walk with God. If the miraculous, rising above even impossible situations, is the normative for the Christian, then how are we to activate such realities? How are we to encounter God, live in greater freedom and see Bible-level miracles happen for us? This Sunday we begin a several week series of teachings that will inspire, impact and infuse God's great heart of hope.    MATTHEW 17:20 NKJV [Jesus said] …for assuredly, I say to you, if you have FAITH AS A MUSTARD SEED, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU. MARK 9:23 NKJV Jesus said to him, "If you can BELIEVE, ALL THINGS [ARE] POSSIBLE to him who BELIEVES."   QUESTION: Do you have any IMPOSSIBILITIES in your life, that if became POSSIBLE, would ALLEVIATE SUFFERING?     IMPOSSIBILITIES: Absolute statistical truth Confirmed as incapable of occurring Mathematically beyond improbability Transcends laws of physics Without physical explanation Requires divine intervention   HOW MIRACLES HAPPEN: I don’t believe that miracles are LIMITED to RANDOM ACTS of GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY. I believe miracles are PRE-EXISTING POTENTIALS, accomplished in CHRIST’S REDEMPTION, ACTIVATED by our engagement of SPIRITUAL LAW. When miracles DON’T HAPPEN, it ISN’T because of LIMITATIONS in GOD’S SOVEREIGN-DESIRE, NOR our lack of SPIRITUAL BRAWN; BUT a lack of understanding of EXISTING SPIRITUAL LAW.   THE LAW OF FAITH GALATIANS 3:5 NKJV Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works MIRACLES among you, [does He do it] by the WORKS OF THE LAW, or by the HEARING OF FAITH? ROMANS 3:27 NKJV Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. BY WHAT LAW? Of WORKS? No, but by the LAW OF FAITH.   SHAMING STATEMENTS: “If your faith was real you would not be experiencing challenges!” “You must have sin in your life!” “You didn’t pray hard enough!” “You had doubt in your mind!” “God is judging you!”   WHAT IS BIBLE FAITH? A coping mechanism (a passive virtue)? A catalytic receptor (causal force)?   WHAT IS BIBLE FAITH? (PASSIVE OR CAUSAL?)  WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD - MARK 5:25-34 NKJV And Jesus said to her, "Daughter, YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction." ONE OF THE TEN LEPERS - LUKE 17:19 NKJV And Jesus said to him, "Arise, go your way. YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL.” BLIND BARTEMEAUS – MARK 10:52 NKJV Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL." And immediately he received his sight… JAMES 5:14-15 NKJV Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And THE PRAYER OF FAITH WILL SAVE THE SICK, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.   FAITH IS A CATALYST RECEPTOR MARK 11:22-24 NKJV So Jesus answered and said to them, "HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but BELIEVES that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE that you RECEIVE[them], and you will have [them]. JAMES 1:5-8 NKJV If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will RECEIVE anything from the Lord; 8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.   QUESTION: What IMPOSSIBLE things would you like to EXPERIENCE with God?   QUESTION: What if over the next several weeks we could look at the principles that govern MIRACLE-FAITH as CATALYTIC RECEPTOR?

John 10:7–10 (NKJV) Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Revelation 21:21 (NKJV) The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

For I am the Lord who heals you.” (出エジプト 15:26 新改訳)そして、仰せられた。「もし、あなたがあなたの神、主の声に確かに聞き従い、主が正しいと見られることを行ない、またその命令に耳を傾け、そのおきてをことごとく守るなら、わたしはエジプトに下したような病気を何一つあなたの上に下さない。わたしは主、あなたをいやす者である。」 Matthew 8 - Our healing foretold マタイ　８　– 私たちの癒しが予告されている “I desire it, be cleansed” 「わたしの心だ。きよくなれ。」 (Matthew 8:3 NKJV) Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. (マタイ 8:3 新改訳)イエスは手を伸ばして、彼にさわり、「わたしの心だ。きよくなれ。」と言われた。すると、すぐに彼のらい病はきよめられた。 “I will come and heal him” 「行って、直してあげよう。」 (Matthew 8:7 NKJV) And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” (マタイ 8:7 新改訳)イエスは彼に言われた。「行って、直してあげよう。」 “as you have believed, let it be done for you!” 「あなたの信じたとおりになるように。」 (Matthew 8:13 NKJV) Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. (マタイ 8:13 新改訳)それから、イエスは百人隊長に言われた。「さあ行きなさい。あなたの信じたとおりになるように。」すると、ちょうどその時、そのしもべはいやされた。 Jesus took our internal pain and our sicknesses イエスは私たちの内側の痛みや病も取ってくれた (Matthew 8:16-17 NKJV) When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, (17) that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.” (マタイ 8:16-17 新改訳)夕方になると、人々は悪霊につかれた者を大ぜい、みもとに連れて来た。そこで、イエスはみことばをもって霊どもを追い出し、また病気の人々をみなお直しになった。(17)これは、預言者イザヤを通して言われた事が成就するためであった。「彼が私たちのわずらいを身に引き受け、私たちの病を背負った。」 600 years before Jesus イエスが来る６００年前 (Isaiah 53:4-5 NKJV) Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. (5) But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. (イザヤ 53:4-5 新改訳)まことに、彼は私たちの病を負い、私たちの痛みをになった。だが、私たちは思った。彼は罰せられ、神に打たれ、苦しめられたのだと。(5)しかし、彼は、私たちのそむきの罪のために刺し通され、私たちの咎のために砕かれた。彼への懲らしめが私たちに平安をもたらし、彼の打ち傷によって、私たちはいやされた。 Question: What are ‘the stripes’? 質問：打ち傷とは？ Answer: The day of the cross 2 things happened. 答え：十字架にかかった日、２つのことが起きた 1.The whipping (the stripes) むち打ち（打ち傷） (John 19:1-4 NKJV) So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. (2) And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. (3) Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands. (4) Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him.” (ヨハネ 19:1-4 新改訳)そこで、ピラトはイエスを捕えて、むち打ちにした。(2)また、兵士たちは、いばらで冠を編んで、イエスの頭にかぶらせ、紫色の着物を着せた。(3)彼らは、イエスに近寄っては、「ユダヤ人の王さま。ばんざい。」と言い、またイエスの顔を平手で打った。(4)ピラトは、もう一度外に出て来て、彼らに言った。「よく聞きなさい。あなたがたのところにあの人を連れ出して来ます。あの人に何の罪も見られないということを、あなたがたに知らせるためです。」 2.The cross 十字架 (John 19: 13-16 NKJV) When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. (14) Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” (15) But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!” (16) Then he delivered Him t Read rest of the notes 続きを読む https://yokohama.mylifehouse.com/tv/message/jesus-lord-over-sickness-and-evil-in-our-lives

Message Title:  “The Spiritual Fight” Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Ephesians 6:10-12 (NIV) Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. Ephesians 6:10-12 (NIV) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:10-12 (NIV)  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV)  There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors... – C.S. Lewis The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.  John 10:10 (NIV) …For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8 (NKJV) Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.   After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. Matthew 4:1-11 (NIV) The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' Matthew 4:1-11 (NIV) Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' Matthew 4:1-11 (NIV) Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' Matthew 4:1-11 (NIV) Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.  “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” Matthew 4:1-11 (NIV) Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'  Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. Matthew 4:1-11 (NIV) Know what is TRUTH You can't detect a lie, if you don't know the truth. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT) It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.  God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT) The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7 (NLT) Know the enemy's STRATEGIES ...in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. 2 Corinthians 2:11 (NIV) Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 (NIV) When it comes to the spiritual attacks in your life… you don't need to be scared, but don't be stupid. Know your AUTHORITY The SPIRTUAL FIGHT is not won through great effort, but through great resolve to STAY and STAND in SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY.  “…on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven…” Matthew 16:18-19 (NIV) “…whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:18-19 (NIV) You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting… John 15:16 (AMP) …so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you. John 15:16 (AMP) “The story of your life is the story of a long and brutal assault on your heart by the one who knows what you could be and fears it.” – John Eldredge
