When we learn that faith is a fruit of the Spirit of Jesus and not just a desire to believe something, we have opened a Door through which we can access Heaven’s resources and give Heaven’s purposes access to the earth. By faith, believing is not just wishing something will prove true. By faith, things become true, or things that […]
John who baptized was the greatest human prophet ever, according to Jesus (Matthew 11:11). He was also the least in the Kingdom of Heaven, according to Jesus (Matthew 11:11). John’s revelation included the knowledge that the Kingdom of Heaven was at hand, that Jesus was in the earth to take away sin, that Jesus was Yahweh’s Son, and that He […]
When we eat, the food is digested and converted to tissue and bone and blood and energy. When we consume the words of the Lord, they are converted to Life and purpose and direction and power. However, among the mature we do speak a wisdom, but not a wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who […]
Jesus used the cross to save us from sin and death. He then transformed the cross into a throne of grace. He will change our crosses into thrones also. He will not change our own works, whether Sunday morning services or holy Roman empires, into preparation to join Him in ruling the universes, but you have been given a Kingdom. […]
What does this part of a letter from Paul to the believers in Ephesus mean if it is read with the Kingdom in mind rather than the church? There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope at your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is […]
I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are […]
Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness—not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel could not look at the end of what was fading away. But their minds were closed. For to this day, at the reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; it is not […]
Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look directly at Moses’ face because of the glory from his face—a fading glory—how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness […]
We have this kind of confidence toward God through Christ: not that we are competent in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our competence is from God. He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.(2 Corinthians […]
For although I am free from all people, I have made myself a slave to all, in order to win more people. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law. To those who are outside […]
