In this episode we see how God takes us from being His enemies through redemption in Jesus Christ and seats us in a position of Victory with Jesus.

_His victory over the enemy!_
Colossians 2:15 YLT
15 (Jesus) having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly -- having triumphed over them in it.

_Proof that we share in Jesus’ Victory_
Romans 8:17 MEV
and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified with Him.

_Proof that we are heirs_
Romans 5:8-10 MEV
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 How much more then, being now justified by His blood, shall we be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by His life.

Ephesians 2:4-7 MEV
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead in sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and He raised us up and seated us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 so that in the coming ages He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Join us in this 4th episode as we delve into feelings.
> Our emotions, left unchecked, often lead to disobedience.
> Fear doesn’t come alone, it comes with confusion and doubt.
> Fear takes place in the mind and is amplified by emotions and the physical senses.  Faith is in the heart and is amplified by the Word of God.
In this world we must walk by faith, not by feelings.  Feelings will conflict with faith a lot of the time. 
Abraham feared that he would not have a son, a direct heir and Sara feared she couldn't bare Abraham a child. Enter Hagar and we now find that fear over faith will not get you the desired outcome.  Fear and disobedience is a roadblock to communication with God.  It was 13 years from the disobedience of Abram and Sarai until God spoke again to Abram.
Even though Jesus warned Peter to remain awake and pray, thereby preparing himself for what was to come, Peter slept and was caught with weak faith.
Peter confused because Jesus reprimanded him and told him not to defend Him and Peter, weak in faith, stumbles in fear.  Jesus warned Peter of the devil’s intent and that He had prayed for Peter and even though Jesus prayed for Peter, Peter slept when he should have been praying and his faith was too little to prevent fear from overtaking him.
The joy and the increase in faith at seeing the Lord again must have been immense and not only does Jesus restore Peter but He also places on him the call to pastor His people.

In this episode we see how God lifts us up out of our less than stellar moments in life.
God does not leave us in the condition that He finds us in.
He lifts us up and strengthens us.
He receives us as His own children.
He teaches us who we are in Christ, that is, in Victory.

Psalm 113:7 MEV
He raises up the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy out of the ash heap,

Psalm 18:48 MEV
He delivers me from my enemies. You lift me up above those who rise up against me; You have delivered me from the violent man.

Psalm 40:2 MEV
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my steps.

Psalm 145:14 NASB
The LORD sustains all who fall And raises up all who are bowed down.

Join us in this 3rd episode as we delve into fear, reverence, and great faith.
> There is a direct correlation between faith, fear, and perversity.
> When there is a lack of faith, there is no authority and no power to command the enemy.
> The world hates God and has the ability to kill the body, but does not have the ability to cast into hell.
Fear will convince you that you cannot overcome some “thing” in your life:
- sickness, disease
- death of a loved one
- appearance
- worth
- and so on
> Great faith in God can overcome every obstacle, every fear in your life.
> Jesus gave us authority through His name to do as He did.
> Fear of the Lord is that unmistakable awe and reverence that we have for Him.

There is not a person in this world that is so unworthy that they cannot receive salvation.  When we look at ourselves and see our utter lack, wherever that lack lies in our eyes, we need to know and understand that God, the Father, doesn’t see it as an issue.  The only issue God sees is our fallen nature.  He gave us Jesus, His one and only Son, as the remedy.  Through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ we have, as a gift, redemption and salvation. When we receive our salvation, it removes the impediment of our fallen nature from between us and God. We now receive full adoption as sons and daughters and we receive God as not only God, but as Father. When we look in the mirror, we need to see the refinements our Father is performing in our lives through Jesus Christ.  Stop looking at the things in you and about you that you believe make you someone who is not wanted, someone who has little or no value, someone who is not worth loving.  If you are to receive only one precious gift, receive this:  The Godhead has placed great value upon you.  God gave Jesus, His Son, to gain victory for you in every way through redemption.  Jesus, when He went to be seated at the right hand of the Father, sent you the Holy Spirit to be your constant companion, your teacher, and counselor.  They purchased it for you so that all that you would have to do is to receive it through salvation.  So, you see, you are of great value and don’t let the world tell you differently.

Join us in this 2nd episode as we delve into the relationship between faith, fear, and perversity.

God is Love

1 John 4:18 KJVS There is no fear (G5401 phobos - dread, terror) in love; but perfect love casteth out fear (G5401 phobos - dread, terror): because fear (G5401 phobos - dread, terror) hath torment. He that feareth (G5399 phobeo - to be alarmed, reverence) is not made perfect in love.

Deuteronomy 32:20 NKJV And He (God) said: ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be, For they are a ::perverse:: generation, Children in whom is ::no faith::.

> There is a direct correlation between faith, fear, and perversity.

Today we visit Christ as our High Priest!
Hebrews 9:11-12 NKJV
But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

Join us for this biblical look at fear and hate.  In this series we will go in depth with vocabulary and context to better understand the living Word of God.   With 8 variations of the word “fear” in the Greek and 4 variations of the word “hate” in the Greek, it’s easy to see why reading the Bible can be a bit challenging and it also shows that no matter which version you are using, you have to cross check and verify which leads to better understanding and clarity.

Luke 14:26-27,33 MEV
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
27 And whoever does not bear his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
33 So likewise, any of you who does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

1 John 3:15-18 MEV
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
16 By this we know the love of God: that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
17 Whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, but closes his heart of compassion from him, how can the love of God remain in him?
18 My little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.

Matthew 5:43-48 MEV
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you greet your brothers only, what are you doing more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
48 Therefore be perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

The simplicity that is in Christ...
2 Corinthians 11:3 KJVS But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Christ and what He does for us is not some complex thing that we can’t understand.
1 Timothy 2:4 say God wants all men to be saved so why would He make it difficult for us to comprehend?
The answer is, He wouldn’t.
In 1 Corinthians 3:19 you see that the wisdom of man is foolishness to God.  We will never grow and understand Christ with our mind, only with our spirit is it possible.
Romans 10:9 NASBS that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
So if God’s not making Christ hard to understand, then who is?
Satan.
2 Corinthians 4:4 NASBS in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
And go back to our first verse 2 Corinthians 11:3

Two Judgements, Two Seats

As we study through scripture, we see that there is indeed two different judgements. One judgement is for all of those whose names are NOT found in “the book of life”, the unsaved, and take place at the “great white throne” of God. The other is for all those who ARE found in the “book of life...”, the saved, and takes place “...before the judgement seat of Christ...”
Join me as we take a brief trip through scripture and learn about the doctrine of eternal judgment.

Revelation 20:12 NLT I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.

2 Corinthians 5:10 NIV For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Notice the description in Revelations 20:11 of God’s throne; “And I saw a great white throne...” White is used here, but I believe a better description from the Greek would be “brilliant” as in brilliant light. So we can visualize that, as God is light, His throne would be masked with His brilliant light, His glory, also. That’s a much better depiction than simply “white.”
