Before the foundation of the world God decided that there would only be one way in which we could stand holy before Him. This is manifested in us experiencing His love for us which is the adoption of man in Jesus and in no other way. As believers we are partakers of what God has done in Jesus and therefore holy, without blame before Him in love.
Enjoy the blameless life that can be lived with the mindset of true innocence that has been given to you by God in Jesus Christ as a free gift.
Eph 1:…

God’s financial provision for all of us is WORTH based and not WORKS based.
Mat 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better (more worth) than they?

A Troubled heart
Joh 13:36 Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where do You go? Jesus answered him, Where I go you cannot now follow Me, but you shall follow Me afterward.
Joh 13:37 Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake.
Joh 13:38 Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for My sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The cock shall not crow until you have denied Me three times.
Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, beli…

The peace we have with God is not dependent on our performance but on the righteousness of Jesus. Peace is the emotion that is in the heart of man when he knows he has no debt. We have no debt before God because wherever we fell short of righteousness by our works, Jesus supplied our deficit, as a gift. The reason we have peace is simply because we measure up to the standard of God. We couldn't say that until Jesus (the Son of God) climbed onto our side of the scale and balanced the whole thing…

There is a scripture in the Bible that is bothering a lot of Christians and robbing them from the freedom that Jesus came to give them, because it’s misunderstood. In Rom. 5 we read about the wonderful Grace of God and that through the obedience of one justification and righteousness came to the whole world. When we continue to read we come across Rom. 6:1 that can be very discouraging if not understood correctly.
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?…

There is a discovery waiting for each of us that brings us to a powerful new life. It is discovering what Christ has done on our behalf 2000 years ago. Once we grasp that and continue to look into its reality, we find the power of Jesus' obedience, death and resurrection influencing and manifesting in us effortlessly. Let’s put it simply: If we can see Jesus not as an example of what we must do to be saved, but as a man representing us, that brings us to the reality of ourself in Christ. We are…

The greatest thing God is concerned about is if you know that He loves you. His love for you is not merely contained in day to day emotions based on your performance. His love has been manifested in one act that is the solid foundation from where we can experience his love for us. That act is simply what Jesus has done on behalf of man. We rest our minds in the fact that He has died the death of the law man, the man that seeks righteousness and justification by His works, and that He was resurre…

The greatness, or size, of faith is not measured by the amount of faith we have but in what we believe; i.e. how great is that in which - or Who! - we believe? Great faith is the foundation of a mind that is at rest in the ability of God to bless the UNGODLY.
Rom 4:5 But if you see that the job is too big for you, that it's something only God can do, and you trust him to do it--you could never do it for yourself no matter how hard and long you worked--well, that trusting-him-to-do-it is what ge…

Earlier today I was rushing from the conference to come and make a live broadcast for today. On the way in the car while rushing through traffic I read Ps 4 and got this wonderful scripture (OK I WAS NOT DRIVING) and I have to share this beautiful revelation with all of you.
Psa 4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly (remember in Jesus you have been made GODLY) for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
God has set us apart for Him in Jesus Christ. He has set us…

Well that is how many interpret that scripture, let’s see what it says
Jud 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Lasciviousness literally means licentiousness witch is “license to sin”!
So there are some that turn grace into a license to sin, who are they? Let’s look at the scripture again.
Jud 1:4 For there…

Well we don’t believe "for" something we believe "in" someone!! Don't even try to believe for a breakthrough, discover what He has done and ponder on that over and over until you find the WORD bringing peace to your heart.
At this point you might not even have the money you want but at least you have peace and contentment- so now you won’t even worry if you have it or not for your mind is settled in the provision of God and not what you need. (don’t even try to fake this it is impossible to fak…

What would your answer be .....
If you are sick in bed with cancer and you have been sick for years and I would come and share a scripture with you concerning healing and after I shared it with you ask you to be 100% honest and tell me if you have faith to be healed, what would the answer be? The answer would most properly be no because it all depends on the greatness of your faith.
If a great healing evangelist that has seen many people healed from cancer comes to pray for you and asks you if y…

Gal 2:19 What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man.
Gal 2:20 Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives…

Obedience in the New Testament is directed towards the doctrine of Grace. The obedience of Jesus fulfilled the Law (Rom 5:14-21) and we are seen as 100% obedient concerning the Law, the righteousness of the Law has been fulfilled in us by Jesus. The only obedience that is left for us is to obey His new commandment which is to believe what Jesus has done and that is how we partake willingly from His wonderful gift of life made available to all of man.
Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield y…

The Gory of God is simply that which Jesus came to portray about who God is. The glory of God in the New Testament is the person of Jesus manifested as the savior of us all, giving us the being of God as a gift, contained in His immortal life for ever. The glory of God in the Old and in the New is the same thing. In the Old it was hidden behind fire and smoke and in the New it was seen for what it truly is, manifested in human flesh.
Many people chase after the cover of glory - the FIRE and smo…
