MY FRIENDS… TODAY…WE WILL CONTINUE
FINDING OUT EVEN
MORE ABOUT THE POWER …
THAT…JESUS WALKED IN……AND…
WE ARE GIFTED BY GOD WITH…
AT OUR CREATION…

MY FRIENDS…
WE ARE
SPIRITUALLY MADE FROM
GOD’S DNA…

WE…ARE ALL …
GOD-BREATHED !
FROM THE TIME
…THAT…
WE ARE GIVEN LIFE…
BY GOD’S LIFE-FORCE-BREATH…
THAT…LIFE-FORCE BREATH
CONTINUES TO RESIDE WITHIN US…
ALL OF OUR BREATH…
IS STILL GOD’S…
SO…
EVERY BREATH WE TAKE…
IS GOD’S BREATH…AND…
EVERY WORD WE SAY…
IS ON GOD’S BREATH…
BECAUSE THE FIRST OF MANKIND CREATED…
WAS DECEIVED BY THE ENEMY…SATAN
WE NOW
abide under the
rules and regulations
of the enemy…
YOU SEE…
OUR MINDS
ARE BLINDED BY THE PICTURES…
THAT…THE

HOWEVER…
PLEASE NOTE THIS:
THE ENEMIES PICTURES… EXIST ONLY
IN HIS DOMAIN…
KNOWN AS THE NATURAL REALM…
IT’S THE PHYSICAL … ATMOSPHERIC

REALLY ARE AND…WHAT POWER WE REALLY HAVE…

*****
WE have been investigating IN DEPTH…
the Powers that God breathed
into us…
at creation
… and…
learning why we have them… and…how
to use them…
***
Then…
In preparation of this
upcoming session’s message…
I was speaking with the Lord …and…
He
suggested that I tell you about
the following…
***
It’s been quite some time ago…now…
Since I had this very enlightening Revelation…
I had been
teaching on
The Resurrection Power of God and…
I was on my way to the market…when…
out of the clear blue…The Lord
shared…
some revelatory… clarifying information
with me…
Regarding His Name…
I AM…
Well…needless to say…
I grabbed a hold of the information
and ran with it…straight back to the
Bible
for Evidentiary Proof…and…
Since then…I
have been sharing
it with everyone that will listen…
****
Some get it
right off …and… it’s already
changing their lives…
Others stagger under the weight of that
truth… and cast it off…intending on
looking
into it later on...
Some do…and Others
just forget about it…
all together.
As usual…the
way the Lord deals with me…
is to get me in a position where I’m a
captive
audience…like while driving
somewhere…and then… drops on me a
magnificent
revelation that grabs all
of my attention…
It was exactly that…this time…too.
The Lord…having
gotten my complete
attention… took that time… to show me
more about the POWER of His Name…
I AM…
You know…
When a King talks…it’s
always in
declarations and decrees…
He seldom has superfluous
conversation…
He makes declarations… decrees…and…
issues orders with confidence that they
WILL
BE CARRIED OUT…IMMEDIATELY…
without any doubt at all.
FATHER GOD…I AM…is the same.
God doesn’t sit around having
coffee…
and doughnuts… chatting with the four
beasts that surround the throne…
When God speaks… it’s in declarations
and decrees.
So…what’s the point?
The point is this…
He never speaks in the negative.
He only speaks in the positive…
He says those things…that
He
wants…
to come to pass…
He calls those things that be not…
as though they were.
NOW…
As I was agreeing with
Him…He showed
me the order of the Names…
God is sovereign…there is
none before Him…
nor after Him…He is the alpha… and… omega…
the first… and… last
and… all of the in between…
So…His name is first…and last…in order.
Following GOD’S Name-I AM…
We have Jesus the Christ…I
AM… He has
been given… by GOD THE FATHER…I
AM…
the name above all names…His
Name…I AM
And… because He bears that name…
Every Knee shall bow…In heaven…
on
the earth and under the earth.
He has given HIS name…I AM…to
the Holy Spirit…HIS
SPIRIT…who
expedites the declarations
and decrees.
Jesus-I AM…Left US here…and went
to be with I AM…the father
…HOWEVER…
before He left…JESUS… gave US
HIS NAME… I
AM…
and His PERSONAL Name…
JESUS…to use.
What HE left us … was His POWER…and…
the delegated power of the GREAT I AM…
to use…
For what??? To… bring…
His will to pass… here on earth…
as it is… in heaven.
So…when we pray…we should be
using the name of the Father…I AM…and
… the son… I AM… JESUS
… and…
because we are
representing the I AM
here on
earth…just as Jesus did…
Then… we know we have
Double the Dunamis…
DOUBLE THE Extreme Power of…
The Great I AM.
***
Knowing that…we need to
take our
prayer life… into account…We’ve already
adjusted our conversation…
BUT…now… we need to
adjust What
we believe… to…the TRUTH…!
Today….we’ll begin our trek through
the POWER that we’ve received…
from the Names of God-the Father…
Jesus-the Son…And…the
Holy Spirit…
As well as… the Resurrection Power…
that has it’s home…within us.
We’ll see just how powerful that is…
and…how it
applies to us.
How we’re to operate in that power …
what to do with
it…and…When… how…
and… why we even have it to use.
My dear
friends…there is
SO MUCH MORE!!…
****
We’ll begin… with a look at…
The Power of Christ's Resurrection
That I may know him… and…
the
power of his resurrection…
and… the fellowship of his sufferings…
being made conformable…
unto his
death...
I count NOT… myself…
to have apprehended…
BUT… this one thing I do…
Forgetting those things which are
behind…
and… reaching forth… unto those
hings which are before…
I press toward the mark…
For the prize…of the high
calling of God… IN
CHRIST JESUS.
Philippians 3: verse 10 & verses 13-14
What a wonderful Word!
This surely means to
press on… to be
filled with… ALL…
the fullness of God.
You know…If we would allow
ourselves NOT to investigate
the
power here…
THIS… Resurrection Power…
We would surely miss God…
and…we would fail in fulfilling the
ministry He’s given us.
So…what then…must we do?
Press ON…and IN …
In order to experience
the fuller
power of God…in US.
The Lord would have us preach
and
teach… by lifestyle …and…life experiences…
ALWAYS abounding in service to Him.
We are to be… living epistles…
living booklets… bringing to
mankind…
the knowledge and wisdom of
God.
So… here’s the question…
IF… we went …all the way…
with God… what would happen?
What would we see… if we ONLY
seek to bring honor to the name of our God?
Well…here… we see Paul pressing
in…
for this…
You see…there’s no standing still…my friends…
We
must move on…
Move on to where?
To a fuller power… of the Holy Spirit…
WE must never be satisfied…and think…
that… we have taken hold of all there
is…
YET… we must always be filled with
the assurance… that… God will take US…
all the way to the goal…that we
desire to
reach…As
we PRESS ON and IN … for the
prize ahead…
Abraham… came out from… Ur of the Chaldees…
SO WHAT? Just this…
We never get into a new place… until
we come out from the
old one.
There’s
a place… where we leave the old life
behind… and… where our life IN CHRIST …fills us to overflowing…
IT’S IN THAT STATE…that we’re filled up…
with GOD’S…JESUS’S…AND THE
HOLY SPIRIT’S…
glorious personality.
On the road to Damascus… Saul of Tarsus…
was apprehended by
Christ…
From the very first… he sent up a cry…
“Lord… what wilt thou have me to do?”
He had always desired to
do the will
of God… but… here… he realized a place
of closer intimacy… a place
of fuller power…
of deeper personal crucifixion…
He sees a prize ahead…and
every fiber
of his being… is focused on securing that prize…
YOU SEE…Jesus Christ… came… to be
the
first-fruits…
The first-fruits of a great harvest…
of like-kind of fruit…
Like… what kind is that?
Like Himself.
How zealous is the farmer…
or…
even the gardener…as… he plants the seeds…
and… watches for his
crops…
vegetables… And… flowers…
and then…he sees the first
shoots …
and… tiny leaves appearing….
They are the beginning…
The sneak-peek… of the
great
harvest that’s on the horizon.
Paul here… is longing for
the Father’s
heart… to be satisfied…
Because… in that first
resurrection… the
Heavenly Husbandman… will see a first-fruits
harvest…
Firstfruits… like Christ… Sons of God…
made to be conformed ...and…
those in the making… to
be conformable…
to the only begotten Son
of God.
Now…My dear friends…
From here on out…I want
you to pay
very close attention to the words that
are coming out of your mouth…
LISTEN CLOSELY TO YOURSELF…
FOR… OUT OF THE HEART…
THE MOUTH
SPEAKS…
So…You say…
“I am… in an extremely…needy place.”
Well my friends…it’s in
needy...seemingly
desolate places…that… God delights to work.
However…
Did you hear what you said?
You used I AM...GOD THE FATHER’S NAME…
YOU USED I AM… GOD THE SON’S NAME…JESUS…
AND… I AM GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT’S
NAME
TO EXPRESS A NEGATIVE NEEDY CONDITION
..Think
about it…
***
You’ll remember this story from the Word of God…
For three days the people
that were with Christ…
were without
food… and… Christ asked Philip…
“From whence shall we buy bread…
that…these may eat?”
Now…THAT …was a hard place for Philip…
however… NOT for Jesus… because… He
knew perfectly well… what He would
do.
That hard place… is where
He delights
in showing everyone His miraculous power.
And…look how totally the
need was
full filled and provided for.
Bread enough… and… to spare!
I have been in those
loaves and fishes
places… on more than one occasion… and…
no matter what…When I LEANED ON THE
LORD…HE has never let me down…
Food containers… that
should have been
empty… are overflowing with leftovers…and…
everyone…ate to
their hearts content.
It’s all a part of… the Presence of the
Risen Christ.
Remember this story?
Two troubled… baffled…
travelers…are on
the road to Emmaus…
As they chatted together
along the way…
they were reasoning and feeling dismayed…
and down-hearted…
because… their
champion…their hero…their savior…
was dead and buried in a tomb.
This
is when…Jesus Himself… drew near…
and…He
opened up the Word… Himself to them…
He
did it in such a way… that they saw light
… in His light.
Their
eyes were fixed on Him. Yet…
they couldn’t recognize who it was that
was talking
with them…
The Word tells us…this…
But… oh how their hearts burned
within… as He opened up the
Scriptures
to them.
He
showed them Himself… in His fullness…
in ALL of the Scriptures… through out the
Old Testament… ALL the way through…
the New Testament.
Finally… at the time… that they supped
together… and broke bread…It was then…
that He made Himself known to them.
Listen…We must always seek to be found…
in the PLACE where He manifests
His
presence… and…His power.
The resurrected Christ… appeared
to Peter… and a few more of them…
early one morning on the shore of the lake…
CHRIST… prepared a meal for the
weary… disciples.
This is just like Him…always
loving and
always serving...
Count on His presence.
Count on His power.
Count on His provision.
He’s always there… just Where…
and When… you need Him.
Think on this…Have you received Him?
Are you found “IN HIM”? Have you
received His righteousness… by faith?
Abraham DID…He came to that
place…
Because… God counted all of his believing in
HIM AS… RIGHTEOUSNESS
As you believe God… He places
His righteousness… in your account.
He
will place His righteousness
within you.
He
will keep you in perfect peace…
as
you stay your mind on Him… and…
trust NOT
ONLY IN Him…
BUT…TRUST HIM…
YOU
SEE…Where our belief system fails us…
IS…
WE MISS THE POINT…
so… we fail to
receive the promise…
WE ARE NOT ONLY TO BELIEVE IN GOD…
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE HIM…
BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS…
WHAT HE HAS SAID… AND…
WHAT HE HAS PROMISED US.
WHEN
YOU PRACTICE THAT…
HE’LL bring you into His rest by faith…
Into
a place of bless-ed assurance…
THAT… all that happens… is working
for your eternal good.
Remember the widow’s son on
the
road to the burial?
Jesus meets that unhappy procession…
He has compassion on that
poor woman…
who is taking her only son…
to the cemetery for burial.
Jesus’ great heart… had such
compassion…
that death had
no power … It couldn’t contain its
prey any longer.
Compassion is greater than suffering…
Compassion is greater than death…
O God!… give US this compassion!
In His infinite…eternal… compassion…
Jesus stopped that funeral procession…
and… cried out to that widow’s son…
“Young man… I say unto thee… Arise.”
And… he who was dead… sat up…
and…
Jesus delivered him
to his mother.
As I was working on this
message…
the Lord showed me… that… since we are
referred to as asleep …not dead…
in the Word of God…
THAT’S why Jesus had no
trouble
raising people from the dead…
RAISING THEM…FROM… their
pre-appointed slumber…
prior to the rapture.
Keep in mind… that… WE NEVER DIE…
The Word of God tells us that
it
is appointed unto man to die once…
We are appointed once… to die.
WE DO THAT…WHEN…
WE DIE TO SELF and SURRENDER
TO CHRIST and become BORN AGAIN…
a completely NEW CREATION …an entirely
new species IN CHRIST JESUS…
I had some students… that…
even though
they were taught in God’s Word…that once
they were born again…they
had eternal
life from that moment on…
were still afraid of death…
So I went to the Lord and asked Him…
what to tell them to dispel the fear…
He told me what I have just shared with you…
He told me that …We
exhale here… and…
our next regular breath… is in Heaven…
We never stop breathing
at all.
To be absent from the
body… is to be
present with the Lord…
This only applies to the
born again believers…
Children of God.
All of us are God’s creation…however…
only those who
accept Jesus as Lord
and Savior… surrendering self to HIM…
are BORN AGAIN… and in THE DOING
OF IT…
have become
Children of the most High God.
These were the things that
the Lord, God…
told me…when I asked Him.
I am sure you remember Paul
getting a vision…
and… revelation of the resurrection power of
Christ… and… as
a result…he was tremendously
motivated and said…
“I will not stop until I have laid
hold of…
what God has laid hold of me… for.”
So my next question IS…
For what purpose has God laid hold of US?
I’LL TELL YOU…To be reservoirs
and
spillways for His power.
He wants to manifest the POWER
of the Son of God…
through YOU…
and…ME.
God helps us… to manifest
the faith
of Christ… the God kind of faith…
the compassion of Christ… and the
resurrection power of Christ.
I was reading a Smith
Wigglesworth
book… and… the following is an excerpt
from that book…
One morning about eleven o’clock…
I saw a woman who was
suffering
with a tumor…
She could not live through the day….
A little blind girl… led me to the bedside.
Compassion broke me up… and…
I wanted that woman to live
for
the child’s sake.
I said to the woman, “Do you want to live?”
She could not speak.
She just moved her finger.
I anointed her with oil and said,
“In the name of Jesus.”
There was a stillness of death that
followed… and the
pastor…
looking at the woman… said to me,
“She is gone.”
Pay close attention to this…
my friends…
When God pours in His
compassion…
IT has resurrection power in it…
SMITH CONTINUES ON…
I carried that woman across the
room… put her against a
wardrobe…
and held her there.
I said, “In the name of Jesus…
death… come out.”
And… soon her body began to tremble like a leaf.
“In Jesus’ name… walk…” I said.
She did…
And… she went back to bed.
I told this story in the assembly…
There was a doctor
there … and he said… “
I’ll prove that.”
He went to the woman… and she told
him it was perfectly
true.
She said, “I was in heaven… and I
saw countless numbers
all like Jesus.
Then I heard a voice saying… ‘
Walk, in the name of
Jesus.’’’
There is power in the name of Jesus.
My friends…What-do you say?
Let’s snatch it…
Let’s hold on to it…
The power of His Resurrection…
The power of His Compassion…
The power of His love….
Love will break the hardest thing …
There
is NOTHING IT WILL NOT BREAK.
As we travel on this
journey of Faith…
and become informed
about its nuances…
we need to apply them to
our lives…
so that experience provides the
EVIDENCE.
Along the way…we will be
awestruck
at the power that we as believers have…
How we’re going to operate in that power…
Why we have been given
it…and…
Just…what to expect… from having used it.
We need to know all of
these things…
and… apply them… so that…
we
may operate as Jesus did…
and… God equipped US to…
without
…anxiety … trepidation and fear.
The evidence is compelling... Jesus rose!
But… beyond the fact that
Jesus
came out of the grave… you have to
answer these questions:
Why does it matter?
…And…
What does this mean to me…personally?
So… think about the vital
importance
of the resurrection… and… how it affects
us today…
FIRST…the resurrection
matters today… because
… as born again believers … we can live
totally forgiven
lives.
Every person lives with
the
consequences of sin…
We all experience
brokenness…
shame… and… guilt… because sin
destroys everything… and… everyone…
in its path.
Romans 6:23 says:
“For the wages of sin is death…
but… the free gift of God is
eternal life… in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
The resurrection means… I
am able to
be unchained from the bondage of sin…
and… delivered from its power.
Jesus stated from the
cross…
WORDS of forgiveness.
“Father… forgive them…
for they
know not what they do”
(Luke 23:34).
He lived… died… and… rose
again…
so that WE… can be forgiven.
His blood… cleanses from sin… and…
the Risen Redeemer… now guarantees
that…He has conquered sin… death…
and… hell.
Because… of the Resurrection…
we know…that…
God has accepted the Savior’s sacrifice…
and… we are forgiven.
Think about this…my
friends…
IF Jesus is still in the grave…then…
WE are still in our sins.
BUT… Because He LIVES…
WE can live forgiven…and free!...
Look…A dead Savior …
can forgive no one.
But… our Lord… didn’t die…
a
meaningless death.
The Resurrection proves that …
It proves that He has the
authority
to forgive sin… and… now… we know
we are forgiven.
Every sin and all the
shame are
forever gone because they are
buried in an empty tomb!...
Jesus carried our sins to
the cross…
and then…to the grave.
The burial of Jesus… is a part of the Gospel:
“For I delivered to you… as of first
importance… what I
also received… that…
Christ died for our sins…in accordance
with the Scriptures…
that he was buried…
that he was raised on the third day…
in accordance with
the Scriptures”
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Our sin… is forever
buried in the grave
of God’s forgetfulness…
He remembers our sin no longer…
It
was eradicated…annihilated completely
washed away…never to be seen again.
Why? Because Jesus is ALIVE.
WE live empowered by the presence
of
Jesus…to live changed lives…
We not only are forgiven… but…
WE are filled with the
mighty
power of God…
who… raised Jesus
from the dead…
Paul called this…
“The power of the resurrection”
MY FRIENDS…JESUS… IS…
no longer… someone we know about…
He’s someone we know.
“That I may know him…
and the power of his resurrection… and…
may share his
sufferings… becoming like him…
in his death”
(Philippians 3:10).
The most life-changing truth I ‘VE
learned as a Christian… IS…
The…“saving life of Christ.”
We’re not only saved by
His death…
but… also… by His life…
Meaning… the Risen Lord…
LIVES IN US… by His Holy Spirit.
His Divinity… Inhabits my humanity.
I …can live the Christian
life…
not in my own strength… but…
in the strength of the risen Savior.
We can plug into power …
every day…Galatians 2:20 power…
“ I have been crucified with Christ...
It is no
longer I who live… but… Christ
who lives in me…. And… the life I now
live… in
the flesh… I live by faith… in
the Son of God… who loved me… and…
gave himself
for me.”
The Bible says… in Romans
1:4…
that Jesus is shown to be the Son of God…
with power… by His Resurrection
from the dead…
The mighty power that
raised Jesus
from the dead… is the same resurrection
power …that lives in us
today.
So… the resurrection means…
we are forgiven… and…transformed…
by the power of the Living Lord.
Sin… and… death …have no power over us.
We can overcome every
temptation…
and… endure every trial… because of
the resurrection.
The risen Christ… lives
in us day by day…
enabling us to walk in victorious faith…
and obedience.
I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE
AND WILL AGAIN…
THIS…IS NOT… behavior modification…
THIS IS THE LIVING
TRANSFORMING POWER…
of JESUS…THE CHRIST!
AND…WE HAVE A NEW LIFE IN
CHRIST JESUS!
The Resurrection matters
today… because…
we NOW have a LIVING HOPE.
The Scripture says:
“Blessed be the God… and Father…
of our Lord Jesus Christ!
According to his great mercy…
he has caused us to be born
again…
to a living hope… through the resurrection
of Jesus Christ… from the
dead”
(1 Peter 1:3).
Hope
is not wishful thinking... It’s the sure…
and…confident…expectation …that…
our future… is in His hands…
I ask at the onset of
every broadcast…
every class…every counseling session that I do…
“Did you come expecting to
receive?”
Why do you suppose I do that?
Because… if you don’t
expect anything
from God…from Jesus…from the Holy Spirit…
you won’t get anything
from Him…
When we believe something…
we have confidence in it…and…
that amounts to faith…
we have faith in it…so we
open up…
and receive it.
When we don’t believe it…
we reject it…
we don’t have faith in it… and so…
we don’t receive it.
Hope… means Jesus is the Lord of
our todays… and… our tomorrows.
The risen Redeemer… is
coming again…
in power… and… glory… so…
we can live
in expectation… that we
will one day…
be with Him forever.
We can live every day… in
the certainty…
and… security of this promise.
Eternity matters today…
because our
future …with a risen and reigning Savior…
s certain.
This isn’t an unrealistic
expectation…
nor “pie in the sky!”
The Christian’s claim… of
eternal life…
is assured by the reality of the Resurrection.
You see…We no longer fear
death…
because we know that our Savior lives.
Christ has destroyed
death …and…
has given us His living hope.
So…YES the resurrection
of Christ matters…
yesterday… today… and… forever.
It matters… because… we
are now forgiven…
transformed… and… triumphant in hope.
MY DEAR FRIENDS…
May you live every day in the glorious
reality… of the resurrection… and…
share
this message of eternal life with others.

MUSIC:: Love Came for Me
If-You had not come
Tender baby King
And - humbly left Your throne
To reach someone like me
If You had not walked
Upon this broken ground
Where on earth would I… be now?
If You had not come
If You had not come
To seek the sick and lame
To set the captive free
To break the prisoners chains
I’d still be in the dark
Grappling for the door
Longing for some way… somehow
but…
Love came for me
Love rescued me
Love called my name
Love took my place
Sweet Lamb of God
I’m bow-in do-wn
My eyes have seen
I’m finally free
Love came… for - me
If You had not come
Willing, spotless Lamb
My-sin would be too much
For-You to take me as I am
But, oh, the blood of Christ
That washes over me
Flowing from Your hands-your feet
I-Don’t have to worry where.. I’d be
Cause…
Love came for me
Love rescued me
Love called my name
Love took my place
Sweet Lamb of God
I’m bowin down
My eyes have seen
I’m finally free
Love came… for me
This manger King
My everything
Love came…… for me
*****

PARTAKING OF
HOLY COMMUNION
BRINGS HEALING TO OUR BODIES
AND MINDS…
...HOWEVER…
WE HAVE TO PREPARE…
BEFORE… PARTAKING.
THE WORD OF GOD TELLS US THAT…FIRST…
WE MUST …
DESCERN THE BODY OF CHRIST.
THAT…THE FOOD ITEM WE’RE USING AS
THE BODY OF CHRIST …IS…
THE…
VIBRANCY OF… THE LIFE OF JESUS…
HIS SUPERNATURAL HEALING AND
WHOLENESS
You
might find it a bit easier to
comprehend…if you
think of it as
a pill …
and…that PILL IS…
glowing with the Sheekinah glory of God…
It’s healing you… as it travels through
your mouth… down into your body…and as it goes…
It’s pushing out all darkness
which is SICKNESS AND
DIS-EASE
and it’s doing it
from
the inside out.
NOW…formulate this picture…
What ever is ailing you…
is on Jesus’ body.
Place those ailments on Him…
There’s
no room for feelings of guilt…
because he already took that sickness…
and…dis-ease at the cross.
So…Use your Imagination and…
Spiritual Visualization!
****
THIS-IS WHAT’S HAPPENING
***
THE ENEMY…IS…TRYING
TO TRICK YOU INTO
TAKING SICKNESS
BY DECIEVING YOU…
INTO
THINKING YOU’VE GOT
IT…
USING LYING SYMPTOMS!
BUT…
SINCE JESUS TOOK ALL SICKNESS
AND DIS-EASE
AT THE CROSS...
YOU ARE ALREADY HEALED…
MADE WHOLE…
COMPLETELY RESTORED TO
GOD’S
DIVINE DESIGN.
SO…
PICTURE YOURSELF WITH THE SOLUTION…
SEE YOURSELF WITHOUT THE PROBLEM.
Begin using Spiritual Visualization in concert
with your imagination…
It’s vital you begin doing this.
***
THEN… WE
DESCERN THE BLOOD OF CHRIST
MY FRIENDS…
WE DISCERN THE BLOOD OF JESUS…AS…
THE
FORGIVENESS OF ALL SIN...
PAST...
PRESENT AND FUTURE…
JESUS SAID… AS HE HUNG ON THE CROSS…
“FORGIVE
THEM… FOR THEY KNOW NOT…
WHAT THEY DO.”
ALL MEANS ALL MY FRIENDS!
WE…
DESCERN THE BLOOD OF CHRIST…
AS…
RESTORATION OF
THE BLESSING
TO YOUR LIFE...
THE
RE-EMPOWERMENT OF THE
RESURRECTION POWER OF GOD…
THAT…UP
UNTIL YOUR NEW BIRTH…
WAS LYING DORMANT WITHIN YOU…
YET…IS NOW
RE-EMPOWERED
WITHIN YOU… with all
of it’s giftings…
AND…
THE AUTHORITY OF GOD…
IN YOUR LIFE…
IN FULL AND TOTAL OPERATION.
DECERN
THE BLOOD…AS RECEIVING
THE GIFT OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM
JESUS THE CHRIST!
THANK
GOD FOR HIS PLAN OF REDEMPTION
..HIS BREATH… AND…HIS GIFTS TO US… OF…
HIS DOMINION HIS DUNAMIS…
EXTREME POWER…
GOD’S RESURRECTION POWER…
HIS CREATIVE
ABILITY… TO CALL
THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT…
AS THOUGH THEY WERE…
…AND…
HAVE THEM MANIFEST INSTANTLY.
GOD’S EXOUSIA AUTHORITY…
HIS PERMISSION
GIVEN
TO US… TO SUCESSFULLY
ACCOMPLISH OUR
ASSIGNMENTS HERE ON EARTH.
DESCERN THE BLOOD OF CHRIST……AS
ETERNAL LIFE…
LIFE EVERLASTING...
NOW…AS
A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER…
YOU NO
LONGER LIVE UNDER THE LAW…
YOU LIVE UNDER GOD’S GRACE.
****
PLEASE MOVE your
Focus onto the elements of the
Covenant…
These
are items I asked you to assemble…
at the beginning of our program…
FOCUS…on them…
As I pray…
Heavenly Father…we come into…
and dwell in… your precious
presence…
as we praise you and worship you with
these elements of the covenant
We thank you… that… Your only
begotten son… Jesus… gave
his life
sacrificially… AS US…Individually …
So that… we may live… and have life…
more abundantly.
We thank you now… as this bread… becomes
our portion of His Healing
body… and…
the vibrancy of HIS
life within us…
We thank you… that..
as we partake of the body of Christ
we become healed made whole... and…
completely restored
to…
God’s Divine Design.
We thank you… that… this beverage…
becomes our portion of HIS cleansing BLOOD.
That… we are continually washed…
in the waterfall… of His
precious blood…
and… renewed within…
as we practice Your presence…
Remembering His act of love on the
cross… on our behalf.
In the name above all names…the matchless
name of
Jesus…the Christ…
we pray! AMEN.
HOLY COMMUNION
The Word of God commands
us to "eat the bread and
drink the cup"
"DO THIS CONTINUALLY”
TAKE the bread…
give thanks… break it
… and…
eat it…followed by…
partaking of the Blood of Christ…
ALL…in Remembrance
of Jesus…
The Lord commanded
that the Supper
be repeated often."
Yet… Paul… doesn’t give us instruction as to how
frequently the Lord's
Supper is to be celebrated.
He implies…
that it’s to be done frequently…so that…
Partaking of the
Lord's Supper
continually Recalls
to our mind…
our redemption
by Christ…
from all sickness…
all dis-ease… and all sin.
So…My friends…
Do it as often
as YOU WANT
to
and NEED to.
****
As we are instructed…
We discern the Body
and the Blood of Christ …
as we prepare to partake…
***
On
the night that He was betrayed…
the Lord Jesus took bread… and…
when He had given thanks…
He broke it… and said…
'Take…
eat… this is my body… which is
broken for you'…
'Do this…in remembrance of Me.'
My Friends…
“The body of our Lord Jesus
broken for you…
so that…
you…ARE… and… remain…
Healed… Made whole… and Totally
Restored to God’s
Divine Design…
In the name of Jesus the Christ we pray…
” AMEN.
Partake of the Body of our Lord and Savior
In
the same manner He also took
the cup after supper… saying…
“This cup is the
New Covenant… in My blood.
Do
this… as often as you drink it…
in remembrance of me.”
For as
often as you eat this bread
and drink this cup… you proclaim
the Lord's death
until He comes"
THE BLOOD OF OUR
LORD JESUS…
SHED FOR YOU…
DEAR FRIENDS…
FOR THE REMISSION OF
ALL YOUR SINS…
Past…Present…and Future
In the name of
Jesus the Christ we pray...
AMEN
Partake of the blood of our Lord and Savior
REMEMBER…
Taking the time to pray… before
reading
the Bible… will make a dramatic difference…
in how much you get out of your
time in God's Word.
It invites the very power… of God…
into your studying… Enabling you to do…
what you can't do…on your
own.
Prayer… takes reading God's Word…
Into a powerful encounter with God …
that… overflows… into every aspect of your
life…
YOU WILL FIND OUR WRITTEN
MESSAGE
