Romans 6:1-2 (NASB20)
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What truth is this scripture putting forth….? 

~That God has indeed made a way that the believer can indeed no longer continue in sin….

This is an enormous statement, a most glorious one, if in fact it is true…. But then it is scripture so therefore it must be true if in fact one could understand the truth that was being put forth…. The truth that is being put forth is the truth that a believer should not continue in sin, so any correct understanding of the scripture must produce that fruit…. It can produce none other if in fact scriptures themselves indeed are from God… 

This scripture says that the believer is dead to sin, the scripture does not say that sin is dead, but it says the believer is dead to it…. So then what is meant by the saying that one is dead to sin….? Consider……

If one were to fall over dead right this instant and in a few moments Mr Sin would come by and say ‘come on get up, come on let’s go sin’…. It would be impossible for that dead one to get up and go sin because that one was dead and incapable of getting up and responding…..  Therefore does scripture say ‘let not sin reign in your mortal bodies’, because now by virtue of being joined with Christ in His death the believer has been set free from the necessity of sinning…. The believer can still sin, if the believer wants to, but the believer doesn’t have to if that one will believe what scripture says when it says one is joined with Christ in His death…. Because he that has died is indeed set free from sin…. For to the degree this truth is grabbed onto to that degree will the believer be set free from sin to walk in newness of life….

Oh, to accept Christ’s salvation on His terms and walk in the truth of it, life is indeed a most wonderful gift and the gift of life in Christ Jesus even a more wonderful…..

Blessings all and may God open up the truths of our salvation in Christ in a deeper and deeper way….. 

To our great God and Savior be all glory honor and praise….

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
