…… Romans 8:1—6….8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ( not according to our own thoughts, ideas or inclinations) 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. NKJV
I am amazed today of those seeking some kind of maintenance in youthful appeal. I hardly recognize those who want to look nineteen again. They are going after something long past them! Some should never go after that youthful look by men's ways of cutting away loose skin. Tightening up some of that skin makes one look scary in certain ways! And one should remember how your body is aging also. What will you do for it?
I am one that is certain that all that healthy eating and exercise can turn on you. It will not happen to all people but I do know it is more work coming back to where one is made in Jesus. It is faith believing and reaching for life in Jesus. To gain the ability to walk again when your own body fights against it. But today victory is heard in our camp. Today we stand knowing God is Lord and His truth prevails. We live not according to the flesh that sins. We live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit in mind that is life and peace.
Jesus: Messiah King is returning. As believers in His kingdom, we are to function in witness and worship: Revelation 5:10 And have made us (them) kings (a kingdom) and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.

sacrifices to Him, to our God: will include bodily as well, in our possessions, our
praise, and our service. Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will
see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn
because of Him. Even so, Amen.
Called Out
of the Darkness: Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not
know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light
before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and
not forsake them.; Acts 26:18 …to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.
Malachi 3:1 NKJV "Behold, I send My messenger,
And he will
prepare the way before Me.
And the
Lord, whom you seek,
Will
suddenly come to His temple,
Even the
Messenger of the covenant,
In whom you
delight.
Behold, He
is coming,"
Says the
LORD of hosts.
Jesus came to this earth as a Messenger from God the Father: "'Behold, I send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He is coming,' says the LORD of hosts" (Malachi 3:1). Two messengers are mentioned in this verse. The first is John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the second Messenger, "the Messenger of the covenant," Jesus Christ.
It is helpful to understand that, as a Messenger, He did not speak His own words. John 8:38-42 combined with John 12:49-50 confirms this. Thus, the message He brought is not primarily about Himself but about the good news of the Kingdom of God that the Father ordained to be announced on earth. This does not discount Jesus in any way because He is clearly the most important person ever to inhabit this earth. Rather, it emphasizes the fact that the gospel Jesus preached is not just about Himself.
The Kingdom of God is revealed by the Holy Spirit! The role model the Lord left us for the Church is found in the book of Acts. He didn't leave any other model. Today our congregation life is filled with programs and clutter that remove us from being anything but a "book of Acts people".
Trademark: "A distinctive feature or characteristic that serves to identify the maker or originator." Wow, what a definition. Now let's look at some of the characteristics that identify our Maker.
Acts 2
released the promise of Joel that His Spirit would be poured out on all. It is
God living in us and among us. He puts His life inside us and through that life
we converse and have relationship with the Father-Son-Holy Ghost.
And it
shall be in the last days, God says, "That I will pour forth of My Spirit
upon all mankind." Acts 2:17
God
loves relationship. How are you relating to Him? Begin again to talk to God and
read His Word. His life will ignite within you.
Then when the Holy Spirit brings out the signs and wonders of God: At the Gate Beautiful, a man who was lame from His mother's womb was miraculously healed. This marked the beginning of miracles through the hands of the apostles. It is a trademark left to us so that we would also operate in the miracle working ministry of Christ. Miracles are the marks of a New Testament Apostolic Church.
"The
signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by
signs and wonders and miracles." 2 Cor. 12:12
What about those dreams, visions and the prophetic of God: Do you dream with the Lord? Did you know the Lord dreams? He releases His dreams, visions and prophetic word to His people. I have spent most of my life going after the voice of the Lord. Even to this day I long to hear Him speak. Acts 2 marks us as a people, when filled with the Holy Ghost, will have visions, dreams and prophetic words.
In mid September I had dreams and visions for three days pertaining to a planet being hit and debris flying all around it. I saw parts of a planet being changed in an instance by a strong hit. "And your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams..."Acts 2:17
I share dreams and visions when the Lord gives the okay. And we should understand that is how we are to operate. That's the way the book of Acts Church operated. Not
through programs but through Dreams, Visions and the Prophetic Word given by the Holy Spirit. It is time for you to dream again. Ask the Lord to give you His dreams, visions and prophetic words. (Note:
True prophetic words, dreams and visions will be within the integrity of God's
written Word.)
A Harvest is evident: This
is a signpost to us. In Acts 2, the results of His Holy Spirit being poured out
was 3000 souls coming to the Lord through believing in Him. It happened again
in Acts 3 with the results of 5000 coming to the Lord through the Lord healing
the man at the Beautiful Gate. Let's raise the bar. This is the mark of

Titus 3:1-8 NKJV Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3
For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts, and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
This renewing in verse 5 has to do with restoration, a transformation, and a renovation! It is a heart and life change. Holy Spirit is renewing when we apply the word of God. The New Birth is revealed in each of us. It is shunning strife and factions. This "good works" is to be an authentic response to the grace that God has revealed through His Son Jesus Christ.
You know well that Charlie Kirk was he who gave daily an authentic response to this grace that God revealed through Jesus. And people will hate you for it. There was found those who hated Jesus who desired Him to die immediately so they could continue in their place of what they coveted in honor. As this Charlie, are we standing with the word of God in our mouths?
As we near Christ's return, we should be saints professing the Kingdom of God, confessing truths that makes us saints, to awaken out of that slumber and arise to face satan! You might stand looking nineteen at 45 years of age. But where are we standing spiritually? Will our culture manipulate us to explore wild paths and ways?
Will you be blind to that of God and His way of life? There is no greater deficit in this life than one blind in their mind. Being blinded in our mind means we are darkened in thinking and become bound to the spirits of greed and lustful pleasures. In that, our lives become abhorrent to God Himself. Is seen as one who indulges….in this day of discovery, man has freed himself of God. He readily unplugs his conscience and can do whatever his own heart desires while answering to no one else. He is the supreme god. He can change the rules if he wants. He can partake of the forbidden fruit in that which brings them to that speaking: “I’m okay, Your okay”
He will take, take and take. He will not work or do anything for his community. His surroundings look like his heart. They REMAIN in CARNALITY….Living in Death: Romans 8:6-7….6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. NKJV
God is not chaos .. Holy Spirit was hovering over the face of the deep in the Beginning.......He was bringing order quickly
Expressing NO LOVE FOR OTHERS….they Will not and cannot love others as God does not abide in them…1 John 4:12 -13 12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. NKJV
No face-lift can help you get to heaven. There is no thing man can do that can get you to heaven. No good works will be acceptable into that entrance. But the Blood of the Lamb, staying in prayer with Christ and applying the Holy Word to your life as you read it, will bring the holy life. Do not depart from the faith! In these latter days, deceptive spirits and false teachings will manipulate and deceive believers. But we have been given the Holy Spirit! Stand as we have seen others before us: as Charlie Kirk. Stand in the goodness of God. Believe you receive His kingdom today. Believe you have been maintained by the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit!
Believe if you leave this world today, you will stand with Christ in heaven!Teaching at: Voice of Prayer
