“God Is For You …. And He Is Undefeated”
Romans 8:26-39
June 23, 2024


The Trinity is Working on Our Behalf NOW! (Romans 8:26-39)

The Holy Spirit is interceding IN you! (Romans 8:26)

The Son of God is interceding FOR you! (Romans 7:27, 34)

God the Father is sovereignly, personally overseeing and working all things/matters for your good and His Glory in your life! (Romans 8:28-30)
You have been seen, wanted; known intimately; granted a pre-set life destination; called out of destruction into His family; declared righteous in Grace; made a reflector of His presence! (Romans 8:29, 30)

God is FOR YOU …. and HE proved it in Christ! (Romans 8:31-39)
He is our legal defense
Christ is our Advocate and Intercessor
Nothing and no one can separate you from His Love!

“Where Are The Fathers?”
Father’s Day
June 16, 2024


1 Corinthians 4:15 – “Not many Fathers ….”

Ephesians 6:4 – “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.”

A LEADER
Not a “dictator”: Must be present, humble (Beware of “never good enough”)
Not an “enabler” (partner in staying disordered, undisciplined, irresponsible). Discern the difference in “it’s ok” and “you’re ok”!
Not a “shame motivator”. Learn how to “call out” and how to “call up” (You are better than your bad choices!)
Stop all the “Rescues” (Sowing/Reaping) (Galatians 6:7) (You are an advocate, but not a savior.)

✸ An affirmer, encourager through the Holy Spirit.

✸ We have to know our Father and how HE sees us, loves us, corrects us, defends
us ….

PRAY for your children! Part of bringing God’s nurture to them!

“Give Me This Mountain”
Joshua 14:6-15

Caleb’s Testimony
What he saw with his eyes and what he saw “with his heart” (the Word of God was the difference!) (Joshua 14:7)
The testing of close relationship suffering! (Joshua 14:8)
See Numbers 13:6 – Numbers 14:10, 24
Those in our inner circle can hurt us most: see Jesus; David; Paul
God justified, established and rewarded Caleb in time!

Keys to developing and maintaining a conquering spirit!
“Watch over your heart….” (Proverbs 4:23)
Stay in close fellowship with THE CONQUEROR! (Romans 8:31-38;
2 Corinthians 2:14)
The mind-set of the conqueror is set by the Word! (Joshua 14:6-10) Remember Joshua 1:8, 9 – The encouraging, renewing, correcting, power in the Word! We see ourselves and our situations through His Lens! (Hebrews 4:12; John 6:63)
Beware of allowing the information from the body and the mind (soul) to become my confession, mind-set. The Spirit is our source of Truth!
Stay in a position of Love! Operate by faith, not feelings. (Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11:6) Faith is your connection to God’s Grace, God’s power. Faith works in the atmosphere of Love! (Galatians 5:6)

✸ “Lord, I confess to You that I am not holding ________________ in a position of love. I repent of that and I will obey You! By faith, as an act of my will, I forgive ________________ and I receive Your Love for ­­­­­­________________.
I believe Your Love is in me by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5) and I receive that love for ________________. Bless ________________ with Your highest and best. In Jesus Name and by His Grace!
AMEN

Beware Of The Unholy Alliance:
Learning Who And What To Trust!
Joshua 9; Joshua 10
Sunday, June 2, 2024



Review: Presumptions (failure to consult) leads to defeat! Leads to burdens, maintenance, “drama”, etc.


The Wrong Information (and sources of counsel) lead to WRONG RESULTS!
“There is a way that seems right, BUT…” (Proverbs 16:25)
Example of the disaster of the wrong information: Satan/Adam/Eve;
The spirit of deception often comes in “hard to recognize clothing.” (Matthew 7:15; Joshua 9:3ff: have to raise what is birthed.


The Power (and difficulty) of Waiting!
“Wait on the Lord….” (Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 37:7)
Be slow to “anoint and appoint” (1 Timothy 5:22)
Seek confirmation: internally and externally (The witness of the Spirit and the counsel of trusted others)
The affirmation of 2 or more (2 Corinthians 13:1)


The Great Umpire: The peace of the Lord’s presence and witness!!
(Colossians 3:15)

COMING BACK TO VICTORY!
JOSHUA 8
MAY 19, 2024

è Take away from Joshua 7 and Joshua 8: From “Reeling to Dealing”


è We need the assurance from God of ultimate victory! (Compare Joshua 8:1, 2, 3, 7 with Joshua 7:2-5) (Revelation/Promise vs. Presumption)
• Give “The Keys” back to God!


è Victory in our warfare requires “all out assault” on the enemy!
• “Declare war” (vs. dissention, disorder, disease and debt, etc.)
• Ephesians 6:10-17 – Put on the Whole Armor
• 1 Peter 5:6-9 – “Be alert” …. Resist him”

✸ Our fight must be centered in the Spirit!


è Victory Requires God’s Strength and God’s Strategy!
• Submit to His plan, His timing, His way of operation (Proverbs 3:5,6; James 1:5)
• God knows what to do, how and when to do it! Our part is to Trust and Obey!

The Great Ministry of A Spiritual Mother


She is Developed in her Faith and Relationship with God, even with a broken heart!
She has faced and worked through trials and the testing of her heart!
Elizabeth’s example: Her life events do Not determine her Identity!


She loves and accepts you, right where you are. She is not judgmental and you are safe with her! (Not worried about “how you look” to others; in her presence, you don’t feel judged, rejected, uncomfortable, inferior) (Luke 1:56)


She AFFIRMS and BLESSES you and encourages you in Your life assignments (Luke 1:42-45)


She is blessed, Energized, Strengthened by her Spiritual Children’s Blessings! (Luke 1:41-43)


✸ There are multitudes of teachers, leaders, preachers, ministers …. But not many Spiritual Parents! (1 Corinthians 4:15)
