Touch of God Radio - Teaching Your Identity In Christ Pastor Marc Whelan

The Christian has overcome Satan and all demonic powers by the Blood of Jesus and the speaking of God's Testimony of His Son. This is because the testimony being referenced in 1 John 5:9-12 is the Testimony of God. Nevertheless, we should still give our personal testimony to others as well.

This week we talk about what a testimony is, the two types that the believer needs to be ready to give to others, the importance of giving glory to God for all good things that He has done to produce the personal testimony of the individual. However, there is the greater one, the one we need to utter: God's Testimony of His Own Son.  Life does not exist outside of Christ. A greater proportion of humanity is headed for destruction in hell on the broad way. The few have given their lives to Christ, and found eternal life in return on the narrow path.

This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): James 1:17; Romans 2:11; 1 John 5:9-12; Revelation 12:10-11.

The Lord endeavors to lead His creation away from evil and captivity and into a better place in relationship with Him. Out of the Kingdom of Darkness and into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son, Jesus (Colossians 1:13).

He led His chosen children of Israel in the pillar of cloud and fire day and night. His Spirit led His Only Begotten Son into the wilderness to be tried and tested by the devil for forty days and nights. His Spirit led the men to capture the Word of God for us to absorb and obey down the centuries and to this day. His goodness leads us to repentance.

However we all have a free will to choose. Are we obediently following His cloud by day and fire by night or are we on our own path that seems right to us that is away and distant to God, void of a relationship and salvation?

What about the day to day leading of the Holy Spirit? Are we sensitive to the things of the Spirit? Are we following His cloud and fire?

This week we focus on the first couple of chapters of 1 John, particularly this passage in the Amplified Classic Edition (AMPC):

1 John 1:
5 And this is the message [the message of [a]promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [[b]no, not in any way]. 6 [So] if we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents]. 7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts]. 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. 10 If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word and make Him out to be false and a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts].

Focusing on Numbers chapter 20 this week and the incident at the Rock with Moses, Aaron and the Assembly of the Children of Israel. How important it is to be obedient to the Lord's commandments, and be led by His voice within our conscience. The importance of acknowledging the Lord for all good things in our witness to others, especially the lost as well as the saved that are still in the early stages of knowing Him. There is no such thing as chance, luck or coincidence.

Pastor Catrice speaks on this week's topic about the heart of the Christian when finding themselves in a Wilderness.

Moses sent out scouts to report back what they found in Canaan, the land which God had given His children. However, some of them brought back an evil report because they were afraid of what they saw and didn't acknowledge the Lord and believe He would give them victory over their enemies.

When we venture into our day, or we find ourselves upon a problem or situation, what do we believe? Do we start professing doubt, repeating the devil's words spoken into our ears? Or, do we profess the Word of God and His promises, that my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus?
