John 14:9 (ESV) Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, & you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father….. John 1:14 The Word became flesh & dwelt among us, & we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace & truth. John1:16-17 For from His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace & truth came through Jesus Christ. — Jesus is the expression of God the Father! Do you see it? The full expression is in His grace & truth! For it is stated in John 8:32, “you will know the truth, & the truth will set you free.” John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, & the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. — It is all woven in the words! His freedom & grace; thru the truth! Love Mel
Do Not Fear!
Deut 31:8 (ESV) It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. Ex 13:21 The LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide their way by day, & in a pillar of fire to give them light by night, so that they could travel by day or night. Deut 31:6 Be strong & courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. — We must be encouraged from just knowing that our God has promised to NEVER LEAVE US or FORSAKE US! We must celebrate this promise! For our God is trustworthy! Love Mel
Hope, Patience and Prayer
Romans 12:12. (ESV) Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. —To Hope means, “To trust in, wait for, look for, or desire something or someone; or to expect something beneficial in the future.” — We are to Rejoice in this Hope! Seriously, as Christians we have so much to be joyful about! —Be Patient meaning, “the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.” — We are to Be Patient in tribulation! This is a hard one, but if we as Christians know our future, we can rejoice & if we are constantly praying, we should easily find patience in tribulation! Remember His peace is always available for us! — Be Constant meaning, “a firm steadfast resolution or faithfulness: exhibiting constancy of mind or attachment.” — We are to Be Constant in prayer! During our tribulation we will no doubt be in prayer, so it is best just to stay there for it is here we find our Hope! Love Mel
Robert Henderson – The Courts of Heaven
Sermon by Robert Henderson —Approach Him as a Father for our needs, a friend for the needs of others, or as a Judge to deal with the accuser of the brethren! Three legal things satan uses to stop our prayers psalm 32 & 51; sin (missing the mark or our bad motives)(Sin is about intent); transgression (strive or step across a line in activity) (Transgression is about activity) & iniquity (curses against you from your blood line) be sure to confess or renounce all known and unknown sin in your blood line going back to Adam – (4 areas—these things open the door to temptation; will fashion your identity to your weakness; will detour us from your destiny; used by the enemy to build cases against us in the courts of heaven.) (Temptation is one of the most powerful strongholds we will ever deal with) (All Broken covenants must be dealt with in the courts).
These are Paraphrased -Hebr 7:8 our tithe has a testimony! Tithe’s Given with A pure heart are key to going into the courts of heaven! John 2 — Repent quickly & request the blood of Jesus to speak on our behalf! Rom 8:26 When We don’t know how to pray as we aught the spirit helps us!
—Repent; Repent; Repent!
— we must learn to Rebuke the spirits of depression, sickness, disease, addiction etc in the courts of heaven! For Our God is our deliverer! Hallelujah! Luke 18. When everything becomes legal in the courts of heaven and Satan has no authority over you – the breakthrough comes! — Love Mel
His Word – Will Never Pass Away!
His WORD! —John 1:1 (ESV) In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, & the Word was God. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet & a light to my path. 2 Tim 3:16-17 (NIV) All Scripture is inspired by God & is useful to teach us what is true & to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong & teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare & equip His people to do every good work. Matt 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. 1 Cor 1:18 (ESV) For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Psalm 107:20 He sent out His word & healed them, & delivered them from their destruction. Mark 13:31 Heaven & earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. — Love Mel
