THE RIVER

Alex shares a personal story of a season in which he found himself in a deep depression that nearly caused him to take his own life. Instead of listening to the thoughts that would lead to his demise, he chose to cry out to God and was set free. Listen for inspiration and also for his closing prayer over those who are still struggling.

Are you mentally oppressed or tormented? Are you experiencing difficulty in controlling patterns of thought that are entering and dominating your mind? It may just be that you're on the verge of a breakthrough but the enemy is resisting you, because he knows that an encounter with Jesus could change your life forever.

Why should we pray in Jesus name? Does praying in Jesus name make a greater impact? As a new believer I asked these kinds of questions. This teaching will help you to understand the power of Jesus name. Jesus told His disciples that in His name they'd cast out demons, that in His name they'd lay hands on the sick and the sick would recover. That in His name they would raise the dead and speak in new tongues. Jesus acts according to His authority and He is able to respond to our requests because His authority is limitless.

Jesus tells his disciples in John 14:21 that he will manifest himself to them. He wanted them to know that they would see him after his resurrection. Jesus manifests himself to us in many different ways and forms. In this episode I speak about some of the ways Jesus has manifested himself to me. He wants every one to encounter his power and presence.

How can one individual atone for the sins of all humanity? While this may be impossible for a mere mortal, it becomes a reality through God incarnate. This teaching explores Old Testament's laws regarding atonement and the requirements involved. It also examines how God established His law, intentionally omitting a crucial aspect that He later employed for the redemption of mankind.

Discernment is a sign of spiritual maturity. Spiritual discernment is about excercising our spiritual senses through experiencing God's presence. As we get to know the Spirit of God all other spirits stand out in contrast. We need to discern the truth from a lie, light from dark and good from evil because deception is everywhere these days. The word of God must be our standard.

The new covenant established in Christ's blood speaks better things for us. The law of Moses was the standard until Jesus fulfilled the law and established the covenant of grace. It's by grace through faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved. Because of Jesus' spilled blood we're able to enter the holy of holies and experience the presence of the most high. What an honor, what a privilege!

God pursues us with an unfathomable love that goes beyond human love. He doesn't want anyone to perish but he wants all people to come to repentance that they may be saved and transformed. He longs to call you home into his arms, he wants to give you a new heart and reveal your new destiny in him.

This is a live testimony recorded at Generacion Victoriosa Church in Calexico, California. As I was moved by the Holy Spirit to share the details of my rebellion and restoration, this clip contains what I was led to release.

What did Jesus mean when he said, "don't cast your pearls to swine?" He was speaking about discerning those who are ripe to hear the Gospel message from those who will reject, mock and blaspheme it continually.
