Genesis 2:6 …in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

We're facing the same choices everyday, our way or God's way, to be led by The Spirit or led by the flesh, Not only do we face these choices everyday but we also face these choices, throughout our day, all day, everyday. What's more these choices determine the course of our lives and those within our families and circles of influence

We thank God that you choose to join us and tune into our podcast, and it is our prayer that you will be blessed

Hebrews 3:1 “Jesus is the high priest of our confession.”

It is through our confession that we demonstrate if we are testing God or Trusting God. Confess or confession means to say the same as and for us as believers in the bible, confession means that we say the same with our mouths as God has already said in His word. We make the words of our mouth agree with the Word of God and in that way we line ourselves up to receive the full authority that Jesus has given us.

Because Jesus is the high priest of our confession so if you have no confession, Jesus cannot act as our high priest because He’s only our high priest in respect of what we confess, first and foremost, confessing Him as Lord. 

In other words, whenever we confess with our mouths what the bible says about us as believers, we have Jesus as our high priest in heaven releasing His authority and blessing upon us. But if we remain silent, and have no confession we're losing out on our access to His ministry as high priest. Even moreso, if we make the wrong confession we do even worse, because it is then we invite negative forces to surround us and move upon us, and through the wrong confession we give the enemy a foothold into our lives

We pray you are blessed by this week's message

ACTS 4:13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. 

We were created to be in the presence of God, that’s where we shine like diamonds, that’s where our brilliance, creativity  and genius are on full display, in His presence. Outside of the presence of God, we’re groping in darkness, hopelessly lost

The presence of God is where we experience our full potential, our hidden strengths talents and abilities and thats where God's power becomes manifest through His Holy Spirit.

Luke 11:1 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

As disciples and followers of Jesus, we haven’t been called to a religion , we’ve been called to a relationship and if we are serious about pursuing this relationship, just like any good relationship, the most fundamental thing we have to do is cultivate it through conversation, speaking, listening, sharing our hearts and learning the heart of the other person and prayer is the way we communicate with God.

In any serious relationship, we want to be in the presence of the other person as much we can and as often as possible, so much so, we look forward to it with excitement and joyful anticipation, even if sometimes, it's just for a few moments, we cherish those few moments

Philippians 4:12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 

Paul says here he's choosing life by committing his life to the Lord completely. He's saying here, I have learned the secret to contentment in God.  Paul's roots ran so deep into Christ, that in every area of life, he could remain content.

Romans 13:14 Put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh

The spiritual garment no Christian should ever be without is the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Another way to state what Paul said in Romans 13:14 put it is "clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ" so what does that mean?

Jesus is the Word, therefore putting on Christ means letting the Word be our armor, embracing Him over and over, and daily trusting Jesus, The Living Word in faith, thankfulness, and obedience.

In standing against the forces of darkness, putting on Jesus means He is our Armor which means, The Word is our armor. Knowing this gives an entire new understanding of putting on the whole armor of God really means

Deuteronomy 30:19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live

We need God's help in helping us choose right, Because we need help making that decision sometimes and when we choose right, essentially, we're choosing God Himself. God is life. When God tells us to choose life, it's an invitation to take His life actively, living and dwelling on the inside of us.

Thanks for joining us for another engaging Bible Study led by Pastor Bobby Romo. We believe you will enjoy it

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

When you 

Hear the Word

Receive  the Word 

Welcome the Word  as the Word of God

It will work effectively in those who believe it

Matthew 8:8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.

There are many different sermons and many different directions a pastor can preach from this passage. For instance, we could talk about the fact that Jesus asked the centurion if he could go to his house or the fact that the centurion said he didn’t deserve for Jesus to come to his house. We could talk about the fact that he was confident that Jesus was able to heal his servant and the fact that the centurion based his faith on recognizing Jesus had supernatural authority over time, space, sickness and disease.

All of these aspects, grace, humility, reverence for the authority of Jesus and His supernatural power are the very reasons we as believers have every reason to never be in doubt or unbelief and always be ready to "Just Say The Word!"
