"Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily" (Colossians 1:29). The Word of God opens with the moving of the Holy Spirit. Genesis 1:2 says, "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." The word "moved" also means "to brood, flutter, shake." It is the picture of a mother hen brooding over her chicks. Matthew Henry states, "The Spirit of God was the first mover. The Spirit of God begins to work, and if He work, who or what shall hinder?" I love the words of the song, which is the cry of my heart. Move, Holy Spirit, move in my life, Move Holy Spirit and make me like Christ. Move, move, move in my life, Move, move, and make me like Christ.

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s (I Corinthians 6:20). How do you glorify God in your body and spirit?—by letting people see Jesus in everything you say and do. Let your moderation be known unto all men (Philippians 4:5). And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [those who are unsaved] do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible (I Corinthians 9:25).

Our only hope: A mighty move of God's Spiri. The need to address revival and the vital role of the Holy Spirit is as relevant today as it has been throughout church history. As America falls deeper into depravity and further from God, the need to be awakened from ourspiritual slumber has never been greater. Our only hope is a mighty move of God's Spirit...a revival of the spiritual condition of His people. “The true saints of God, who have clear heads, and pure, warm hearts, have in all generations had to walk between the two extremes of cold formality on the one side, and wild, ranting fanaticism on the other. Dead formality and the false fire of fanaticism are both Satan’s counterfeits, and he does not care into which extreme the soul plunges, just so he can prevent it from having that scriptural type of holiness which is ‘full of faith,’ and ‘full of the Holy Spirit,’ and ‘full of wisdom,’ and of a ‘sound mind'."

Isaiah 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord. that take counsel, but not of me; they met and consulted together about their safety, when in danger, but did not ask counsel of the Lord; they did not consult his word, nor his prophets, nor by Urim and Thummim, as in case of war they should more especially: and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit; they sought for a cover, a shelter, a protection from the enemy, but not from the Spirit of the Lord, in his word and prophets, who would have directed them to a more suitable and sufficient one. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

The Original Pattern In the original pattern of creation, the spirit of man came directly from God, related directly to God, and enjoyed a perfect ordered relationship with God. God moved upon man’s spirit; man’s spirit moved upon his soul; and his soul directed his body. Through the devastating effects of man’s rebellion, however, his spirit was compromised, and his soul took over control. As a result, unregenerate man is now controlled by the three functions of his soul: the will, the intellect, and the emotions.' And the LORD God formed [molded] man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being [literally, a living soul]. Genesis 2:7

Do you know God's Voice? The Entrance of Your Words gives Light; It gives Understanding to the simple Psalm 119:130 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

John 3:16 -- “For God so loved the world ( you and me ) that He gave His only begotten Son ( Jesus ), that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but shall have eternal life.” Let us begin a journey into the covenant kingdom of God and see what amazing things we will uncover as we are transformed by the renewing of our minds and we dig our way out of religious thinking and uncover the hidden treasures of the Father and His family. RELIGION IS THE MOST DEVASTATING DECEPTION that Satan uses to keep you from receiving the kingdom, salvation, healing, and ALL the other benefits God has made provision for you. Luke 12:32 -- Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom. Mark 1:15 -- Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

The Holy Spirit encourages us to represent Jesus…be His hands and feet, eyes and ears…to the world. He encourages us to continue the ministry He started 2,000 years ago.  Why? Because the Holy Spirit is The Paraclete…The Encourager. He was sent to give us hope…and set an example. We are to be examples of the Holy Spirit’s encouragement, passing it on to others. And being an encourager can have a permanent impact on someone. Flatter me and I may or may not believe you. Criticize me and I may or may not like you. Ignore me and I may or may not forgive you. But encourage me…and I will absolutely never forget you. The Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be filled with power. And you will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces — even to the remotest places on earth! Acts 1:8 “Fight to Stay Awake” Your hearts are filled with sadness because I’ve told you these things. But here’s the truth: It’s to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away the Divine E

Jesus says, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me" (John 14:1). Here Jesus makes himself equal with God. He is implying that anyone who believes in God must, to be consistent, believe also in him. Jesus isn't suggesting that we have two faiths, one in God and the other in Jesus. Rather, he is telling us to have a complete faith, not a half faith —faith in God but lacking faith in God’s Son. Jesus says that he is going back to heaven to prepare a place for his disciples; and that he will come back again to take them there (John 14:1-6).

The quality of our walk with Jesus is not predicated on anything we do, for the only thing we bring to our salvation is the sin that makes it necessary. Study Romans chp. 6: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being rais

Doing wrong and calling it right. Doing wrong and calling it right. Peter reminds us of how the world lives in "sensuality, lusts, drunkeness, revelries, drinking parties, and lawless idolatries. They are surprised that you do not run along with them into such destructive excess. So they malign you. They shall give an account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead" (1Peter 4:3-5).

Who is Jesus ? He is God that He and the Father are one that He is Lord that He is King that He is the Head of His Church that His Body is on this earth and is inhabited by His Holy Spirit that He was the Lamb of God that He is the Kings of kings that He is the Savior that He is the Good Shepherd that He is Yeshua that He is the Messiah that He is the Bread of Life that He came to give us Life

This is a lesson about two kingdoms. They are spiritual kingdoms This is a lesson about two kingdoms. They are spiritual kingdoms.

The test of our own weaknesses. "The good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I do" (Romans 7:19) . The habits we cannot seem to throw off, the lives we live that are so far below our ideals, our deep sense of unworthiness... these failures test our faith. "If we hope for what we cannot see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance" (Romans 8:25) . Our faith reaches back into ancient history; stretches far into the unchartered future; and even in the present embraces realities beyond the perceived natural world. Our faith is tested by our own dim conception of the things in which we believe, amid ubiquitous skepticism. For some this intellectual battle can be very distressing.

This faith of Abraham is a paradigm or pattern for us. Is your faith like his? In your trials and troubles, though you "are killed all day long" (Romans 8:36) do you trust that God "gives life to the dead" (Romans 4:17)? In Hebrews 11:17-19, this is taken a step further: "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac... his only begotten son... accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also had received him in a figurative sense." Abraham reasoned that if he obeyed the command to kill Isaac, he would receive him from the dead a second time.

"In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us" (Romans 8:37) "Having been justified by faith... through our Lord Jesus Christ... we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance character, and character hope. Now hope does not disappoint..." (Romans 5:1-5). "The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. We are more than conquerors through him who loved us. We suffer with him that we may be glorified with him... the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed" (Romans 16:20, Romans 8:16-18,37). Then we will shout, "Victory! Victory! Victory in Jesus!"

Live in God’s Divine Will The first step in building your faith is to want the will of God with all of your heart; that is the only way to walk in faith. Faith in God always keeps you in the will of God, and you cannot detour to the left or to the right. You must move ever onward in the faith and in the will of God; but if you don’t want the will of God for your life, you are not going to build your faith. The Bible says, The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). That also means that the just shall live by the divine will of God, and that will bring you real life. As a child of God, you need to continually build your faith because you will never receive all of the faith that the Lord wants to give you. There are steps you can take to build your faith, and you must learn some of these steps. This message can help you to receive any miracle, healing or help you need, spiritually, physically and financially, saith the Lord. What is faith? It is accepting everything that God has said and expecting Him to do w

How to Let Go and Let God Letting go is a daily, moment-by-moment choice. Like every discipline in life, we must learn to surrender and give it to God. The enemy seeks every new day to cloud our mind with worries, doubts, and fears. The devil wants there to be no room left for God in our lives. Surrendering to God becomes a lifestyle of daily giving it all to Him. Powerful is your arm! Strong is your hand! Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength” Psalm 89.13 NLT #GiveItToGod Hebrews 12:1-3 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22). The Word is health to the flesh. If you want healing today, faith in God heals the sick; and if you don’t have enough of that faith, you can have more of it. Use the gift of faith you have and start building on it. Listen to what God is saying and read His promises. The Bible gives seven redemptive names for God; and one of them is, I am the LORD that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26). Use the Word When ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe (I Thessalonians 2:13). How does the Word work?—with faith. And they [the saints of God] overcame him [the devil] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony [the Word of God that they put in

Divine Faith Must Be Used And when the evening was come, he [Jesus] was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid (Matthew 14:23-27). As before, the disciples did not use divine faith. PSALMS 11: 3..“If the foundations [of a godly society] are destroyed, What can the righteous do?” WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING YOUR LIFE UPON? IS IT GROUNDED UPON THE ROCK OF GOD"S WORD? If you don’t know Jesus today, ask Him to let His blood flow into your soul. Pray this prayer now: Oh, God, I confess that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary with divine blood in His veins. He loved us so much that He shed that blood, and it has the power to wash away every sin. I believe it will wash aw
