“ WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUCH, THE TOUGH GET GOING” BY DEBORAH WALDRON FRY Heard, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!" God is looking for those who are serious.
They shall be the ones who seek His Presence and seek to be close to Him. They linger until they know they have heard from Him. Jesus is their First Love. They seek their Abba Father above all others. Yes, we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in our hearts when
we are born again, but there is a deeper level of commitment for the Warriors God is bringing forth. They are not worriers but they are warriors! They are the COURAGEOUS WARRIORS who will not back down when the going gets tough! They know in Whom they have
believed! They are the Joshua 1:9 WARRIORS! And they will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to complete the mission! If you are reading this, this courageous tough warrior is you! "Beloved. I have kept you close to Me in the Secret
Place. You have wondered why you were alone in this and many did not understand your seclusion. But I have hidden you for a season that through various trials you would become strong and courageous and resilient and refined purer and more precious than gold.
"For you are one of a Chosen Few who rely on their God alone. It was needful, My Child, to keep you hidden until now that you would learn of Me. That you would be yoked to Me alone. To learn that I am your Shield of Salvation
and My Right Hand upholds you. My Gentleness made you great. For now you stand STRONG in Me. Like a soldier who takes orders only from his Commander so you have been commissioned in this same way. For there is a battle going on and the devil seeks to wear
out the saints. "But Oh, My Beloved! I have declared and commanded your victory through the Lord Jesus Christ. Only the Few can wield the Sword of the Spirit. Those who rely on their Commander alone and will not bow
to another. I AM the Word. The Sword of the Spirit is the Word. I AM that Glorious Sword in your hand shining and burning with the Fire of God! Your God is a consuming Fire! "The Voice of Truth is proclaiming," Do not be
afraid!" I give you Strength to stand before Giants. You shall not be afraid for I will put a Word in your mouth. I will put a Stone in your hand! You will take down Goliath's in My Name! I am the Commander of Angel Armies, the Lord of Hosts! Whom shall you
fear? If your God be for you who can be against you? Even in the fiercest battles, hear Me say,"Take courage! It is I. Be not afraid!” "Stay strong, My Courageous One. Stand fast and do not be moved by the lies of the
enemy. Do not be moved by his tactics. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I have come as Commander of Heaven's Army. You are in My Ranks, the Elite of the Elite. There are many more with you than against you. "For
I am with you like a Dread Champion; Therefore your persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed, with an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten. You can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens
you. Go forth in the Power of My Might. Let the weak say," I AM STRONG!” "The enemy has played his last hand, Beloved. Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time his foot will slip; for his day of disaster is near,
and his doom is coming quickly. I have declared these things and My Word shall stand. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you. They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you.
"I am He who vindicates His people and has compassion on you. I have given you the Victory through your Lord Jesus Christ. Have not I commanded you, My Soldier? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed: for the Lord
your God is with you wherever you go! Who is like you, My Courageous Warrior, saved by the LORD? I am your Shield and Helper and your Glorious Sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will tread upon their heights!"
ELITE FORCES IN THE MILITARY: A military or paramilitary unit trained to carry out special operations. Special Forces. A branch of the US Army composed of soldiers trained in special operations. They work in small teams
to eliminate targets. They deploy scalable, expeditionary forces worldwide to accomplish special operations mission. They conduct raids on high-valued targets and can take out the bad guys. Known as the “Quiet Professionals”(USAMM)
"Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed: for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 "Blessed are you, Israel! Who is like you,
a people saved by the LORD? He is your shield and Helper and your Glorious Sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will tread on their heights.” Deuteronomy 33:29 “Neither,” He answered.
“I have come as Commander of the Lord’s Army.” Joshua immediately fell on his face to the earth and worshipped, saying to him, “Lord, what do you have for your servant by way of command?” Joshua 5:14
"You have given me the shield of Your salvation, and Your right hand supported me, and Your gentleness made me great." Psalm 18:35 "But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
Matthew 14:27 "Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD." Jeremiah 1:8 "They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you
to deliver you," declares the LORD." Jeremiah 1:19 "What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay.
In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly." Deuteronomy 32:35 "For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their
strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free." Deuteronomy 32:36 "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57 "Nay, in all these things
we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." Romans 8:37 "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials so that the proven character of your
faith— more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire— may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:6-7 Deborah

for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”
How do I know the Bible is the Word of God? Because it gave me the experience it claimed it would. I believe it because everything the Bible promised me has been true. Everything. For example, the Bible says that God would forgive my
sin: “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness” (1 John 1:9 NLT). When I first read that verse, I prayed, “Lord, cleanse me of my sin.”
And one of the first things I remember experiencing as a brand-new Christian was the sensation of having a massive weight removed from me. When I prayed and asked Jesus into my life at the age of seventeen, I didn’t know what I had
just done. I hadn’t read, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT). I hadn’t read any Bible verses yet, but I do remember feeling that a burden had been lifted from me. That was God forgiving
my sins. The Bible also says, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT). I became a different person after I gave my life to Christ. I recognized
a change inside, and I knew it was real. I had tried to be a better person before. I wanted to be a more caring person and be different than I was, but I couldn’t change myself. Then suddenly with Christ living in me, and as I read
the Word of God, I saw these things happen for me just as the Bible said they would. That’s why I believe the Bible is the Word of God. It has given me the experience it promised.

google images “DO NOT FAINT, FOR I AM ABOUT TO USE YOUR STORY FOR MY GLORY! “ By Jo Ellen Stevens
I sense in my Spirit the weariness of many in the body of Christ, especially the older saints of God who have been hanging onto a promise of the glory and revival. And I heard the Lord say. "Do not grow weary in well doing for in due season, and it is the
season that you shall begin to reap and recover all!" I also heard Him say, “Watch for many are called and have tasted of the glory in days past and you have been yearning and waiting for the fullness of it but you have wondered if you would make it
to the end because of your physical body but the Lord says '' I am getting ready to renew you with My strength for the days of Glory because I AM GOING TO USE YOUR STORY FOR THE GLORY and for the harvest of the youth to bring wisdom
and understanding to them in the days ahead and to show them how to stand as you have stood in the hard times that are coming and so that they may also stand in the evil day. A PROPHETIC DREAM I
had a dream a while back of my husband and I on a rough road and we got stuck in the muck but suddenly these young men and women came along and lifted us up out of the muck and we were once again on our way! These young men and women were ones we had helped
along the way in our time in ministry. This was a prophetic picture of what God is about to do with many that have been in ministry for years and have gotten stuck in the rut but have ministered to many along the way.
Those in their youth will come and give you a second wind where you have been stuck and you are about to go to new places in Him with those you have built up along the way. They will once again give you a new wind to
go forward! But know this "You must be in the vehicle to be able o go forward! In other words you have to be willing to go but also know that God is going to empower you anew in the days ahead! Thus God is saying "you need the youth but they need you and He
is going to make this happen and will give you strength. Get ready for I am bringing new alignments to your assignments! Fear not, for I am with you and I will strengthen you to take the land!!” Arise, shine! Jo Ellen
Stevens TCIC Ministries https://dstevens7.wixsite.com/tcic  google images THE MANIFEST SON’S of GOD By Denise Sylvia Bekker For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly
waits for the revealing of the sons of God. Rom8:17. Creation groans with birth pangs waiting to be delivered from the bondage of corruption (decay) into glorious liberty by the Sons of God. In the very first verse of the
Bible (Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth) when God began to create, a new creation was about to be birthed. The word ‘creation’ means a founding, establishing, settling, formation. Genesis Chapter 1 is the History
of Creation. From the beginning as God spoke, He was not only speaking creation into being but God Himself was establishing covenants that would be pertinent to man’s existence on earth. By one man’s sin ( Adam, the son of God) sin entered the
world. The revealing of the sons of God will birth the full Kingdom revelation, in order to reverse the curse. When true sons of God are revealed: 1. They heed the voice of our Lord Jesus
Christ 2. They have a vision of True Kingdom Dynamics 3. There is Godly intimacy and fellowship 4. They manifest true worship and intercession 5. They walk by the way of the law of the Spirit of life 6. The have a Foundation
Restoration perspective 7. Established with the true doctrines of Christ 8. They move in the Liberty and freedom of Christ. Gifting, offices, God has placed within the Body of Christ, also with power,
authority, dominion. Col1:13-16 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
Jn1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. It is amazing that straight after the cursing of the ground, God Himself made an atonement by a blood covering for Adam and Eve.
This blood covenant directly pointed towards the New Covenant; we are saved, born again, a new creation, born by the Blood of Jesus, redeemed and set free from the law and sin into His wonderful liberty and freedom in Christ Jesus. God’s redemptive
plan was projecting prophetic Kingdom strategy, that ultimately the redeemed of Christ, true sons of God, would be given divine knowledge and wisdom to set free all of creation, from bondage and corruption. Holy manifestations of Seedtime and Harvest, Harmony,
Divine Reformation of all creation. Sons of God have to speak, say the word, prophecy, demonstrate, activate, make intercession etc. There is a Glorious Liberty described in Isa 61:1-11.
Paul called Jesus the ‘last Adam’, to restore all things. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation with Power and Authority over all things (elements, seedtime and harvest, cosmos etc).
Restorer of the mantle from the first Adam, so that the Body will arise and shine, to operate in all her fullness so that all bondage can be broken and all of creation can be released from the curse. Adam was a son of God. We need to manifest the true character,
nature of Adam before the Fall; Prophet, Priest, King – having dominion and rule, not only in the natural realm but manifesting in the natural and spiritual realm. The earth (creation) has a remembrance, a remembrance of what it was it was like
before the fall of Adam! God wants us to re-enter spiritual “Garden of Eden”, the prototype. Rev22:1-5. Sons of God know the Blessings, Abundant Life, Divine Fellowship.
Col1:16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. We
need to move more and more in the supernatural; this releases the glory of God. When true sons of God come to the forefront in the Kingdom of God, restoration of all things will far surpass the glory manifestation of God that will restore all things with double
honour, double portion, double inheritance. The firstborn over all creation. Jesus is the King of all creation. The Son of God over all creation. The Eternal Seed/Word over all creation
It takes 2 seeds (man and woman) to produce like-kind. The witness of two seeds! All creation is waiting for the sons of God to take their rightful place in the Kingdom to speak/prophecy the seed/word to culminate all of creation. By
the release of the Spirit of Prophecy, coming together with one accord releases a sound in the heavenly realm to which God is able to respond. Joel 2:28-32a, Acts2:17-21 (Greater Outpouring- Glory to Glory) There are four
‘power’ words a) Dunamis (son of God) – energy, power, might, great force, great ability, strength (Dramatic transformations) b) Exousia – delegated authority c) Ischuros – great strength (especially
physical strength) d) Kratos – dominion authority There must be a release of Great Grace in order to accomplish and rebuild the ‘heaven on earth’ spiritual tabernacle, that in so doing all of creation
will be set free. Luke 22:44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like blood, falling to the ground. Sacrificial blood – cleansing, forgiveness, redemption…..
Adam – sweat of his brow Gen3:19a – result of the curse Jesus – sweat like blood – Genesis/Beginning of all Creation being set free. Redeemed by the Blood. Covenant Establishment – Mal3:5-6.

By Dutch Sheets and Tim Sheets Word released on July 26, 2022: A Force to Be Reckoned With Tim Sheets says: The apostle James was the brother of Jesus. He was the lead apostle of the first Ekklesia,
during the Church's first spiritual war season. James led the Church through Herod's government tyranny. He was a steady voice to all the other apostles throughout the book of Acts. James also led the Ekklesia in its first great revival, a move of God that
changed the world. In the book of the Bible that bears his name, James made a statement that gives us a vital key to the success of the Church, then and now. Holy Spirit has said that we've entered a season of spiritual war that will be
very fierce all the way through the midterm elections. The Ekklesia must engage in this by presenting themselves before the Lord in prayer, decrees and worship warfare. James 5:16 (NKJV) says, "...The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous
man avails much." He is very clear and succinct. In order to avail much, there must be increased prayer. To win spiritual battles, there has to be an engagement in prayer. In the Amplified translation (Classic Edition), a portion of this verse says that prayer
"makes tremendous power available" and is "[dynamic in its working]." The Message Bible says that the prayer of a person "right with God," because of the Blood of Jesus, is "something powerful to be reckoned with." To see victorious results in this war season,
we must pray with a force that Hell will have to reckon with. When the Church prays, God promises He will engage with us. His entire Kingdom, including angel armies, will do so, releasing tremendous power. This is a power that binds Hell's
princes and stops government tyranny, a power that raises people to seats of authority while removing others. Psalm 75:7 says that He takes power from one and will give it to another. This is a part of what this war season is about – God taking power
from those who have mocked and opposed Him. When the Church prays, seats of power and authority change. God intends to give governing authority to those who will rule justly. Part of this war season also includes unseating demonic
powers in the spiritual realm. As this occurs, the governmental landscapes will change. God has spoken prophetically that He is now going to hasten His word to perform it. We will see the dreams of our hearts – for ourselves, families and nation –
come to pass. Saint Augustine said, "Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not" (see Quotefancy).We are in a special season in which we must partner with the living God through prayer. Much is being said in
today's world that opposes God and His ways. In light of these current situations, it is vital that we hear from Him. I have been crying out to Holy Spirit, "Tell me what You're saying!" In response, a word the Lord gave me several years ago began rising up
in me. The words burned like fire inside of me. I knew the Lord was declaring them into this current season of spiritual war. I believe this word is going to resound through Washington, DC, rattling the demonic babbling of His enemies. Settled law isn't settled
when God says otherwise. Here is what I heard Him say: "I Am Not Finished” "I said, 'It is finished,' not 'I am finished.' I am NOT finished. I completed redemption for sins on the Cross, but I am not finished
building My Church. Its relevance will surely be seen, shutting the mouths of the naysayers. My Church will be glorious, without spot or wrinkle, reigning in My name. It will not be intimidated, scared, confused, bewildered, tepid or spineless. I have much
to finish, and I WILL finish it. "I've saved the best wine for your times, and I will now finish the release of outpouring. My power and anointing will be revealed in My manifest presence. The world will see My true power manifesting through
My triumphant remnant. My glory will become demonstrably real in your times, from glory to glory to glory, just as I said. "I'm not finished! I'm not finished healing blind eyes, opening deaf ears, restoring damaged limbs, reaping the
harvest, saving the lost, setting the oppressed free and delivering captives. I'm not finished saving Muslims and Hindus, penetrating the nations with My Gospel, and delivering adulterers, alcoholics and those addicted to drugs. I'm not finished healing those
with gender confusion. And I'm not finished with abortion. I'm far from finished. "I'm not finished with America, with aligning the nations, and establishing My Kingdom on this earth...which means you're not finished. My Church, My Ekklesia,
is not finished binding Hell's plans, standing for My Word and confronting demon doctrines, rebel governments, kings, dictators, presidents, judges and evil dignitaries that mock Me. My reigning Church is not finished prevailing over the gates of Hell. It's
not finished preaching the word of truth and prevailing over principalities, powers, mights and dominions. It's not finished being salt and light – lighting up darkness, reversing evil laws, treading on demons, preaching hope and deliverance to captives,
reaping My harvest of lost individuals and discipling nations. "The activities of My Church don't stop when governments, presidents, governors, the Supreme Court, the IRS, media, professors or hireling shepherds say they must stop.
They stop when I say they stop. And I say to My Church, 'You're not done. You're not finished and I'm not finished! Occupy until I come. Take care of My Kingdom business until I say you're finished. Overcoming Church, you are My reigning ones, called to these
times. Rise in authority, rise in My power and rule in the midst of your enemies. Yes, redemption is finished, but I'm not finished. Salvation is finished, but you're not finished. Focus on what I say and let that settle the issue.’"
Tim then says: In this war season, it is imperative to stay focused on what God says. We have to know what Holy Spirit is saying to the Church, rather than focusing on what we see occurring around us. God's Word WILL prevail, and dynamic power WILL be activated
as we pray what He says. We must release what James called a 'force to be reckoned with.' There must be a realization and determination in the Ekklesia that God isn't finished. He will accomplish what He has said, and we are going to faithfully
and determinedly pray it through. Pray with Me From Dutch Sheets: Lord, let the voice of Your Ekklesia be clear and strong. Give us insight, strategy and wisdom to declare into this moment. Continue inspiring us to
partner with You. The battle for America is not over! You are about to give us great victories. You are going to unseat demonic powers; they will not rule our nation. You are about to answer long-standing prayers and fulfill prophetic words. You are about
to open the windows of Heaven, releasing power to change things in ways we have never seen before. Holy Spirit, inspire our hearts to engage with You. We are warriors declaring Your truths and promises. We ask and declare these things in Jesus' name, amen.
Our decree: God is not finished with the Ekklesia. We will be a force to be reckoned with. (Note: You can hear the entire message by using the link we have provided. Today's post was contributed by my brother, Tim Sheets.

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh We are assured victory if we put
on the whole armor of God, standing together as a spiritual phalanx and repelling all attacks, the waves of trials we face. Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh Christ warns that we must do everything possible to annihilate sin - surgically going right to the heart or mind: the
level of thought and imagination. Sermon by Martin
G. Collins Mainstream Christianity espouses the pernicious doctrine of, 'Let go and let God,'" which releases us from any obligation to overcome and build character. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh The most formidable foe in our spiritual battle is the flesh. We must mortify, slay, and crucify the flesh, enduring suffering as Jesus
Christ exemplified. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh God gave Adam and Eve a neutral spirit and free moral agency; they chose the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, predisposing their offspring to sin. 'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh Has anyone, other than Jesus Christ, really exhibited self-control? In the end, however, this is the ultimate aim of
growing in the character of God. Sermon by John O. Reid (1930-2016) We are warned in Hebrews not to harden our hearts, not to let the precious truth of God drift away, realizing that we have been called with a high calling. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh Romans 12-16 provide a checklist for overcoming and promoting positive relationships, developing tender affection. We are mutually dependent
upon one another. 'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh Protestantism unthinkingly presents grace as "free." However, Scripture shows that God expects a great deal of effort from us once we receive it—it is costly. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh Israel's trek was not only a physical journey, but a mental wandering caused by rejecting God's leadership. The potential to sin is a
test of resolve. Sermon by John W.
Ritenbaugh No one has any excuse for doubting God's purpose for mankind, whether revealed publicly through His Creation or privately through the Holy Scriptures. Sermonette by Ted E. Bowling In ancient times, the corpse of a murdered person was attached to the murderer, allowing the body to decompose until the murderer was infected
and died. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh Our pilgrimage to the Kingdom will not be easy; we will suffer fatigue from difficult battles with serious consequences. We fight the world, Satan, and our flesh. Sermon by David F. Maas Even though individuals do not necessarily practice spiritual fasting for physical reasons, the physical benefits supply types that teach
us spiritual things. Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by David
F. Maas The most dangerous battle at hand is against our own flesh, where we least expect treachery and where we have become the most complacent. Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by David F. Maas By exposing the negative self-talk, we can turn the self-imposed words of death into words of life. Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh Protestant theology recognizes
that Christian self-discipline presents a major logical difficulty in its keystone doctrine of 'by grace alone.' Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh We must put our lives, treasure, and honor on the line, picking up our cross daily, declaring our independence from
carnality, evil and bondage to sin. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh Though influenced by Satan and the world, sin is still a personal choice. Christ's sacrifice and God's Spirit provide our only defense against its pulls. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh Our lives parallel what Christ experienced: crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and glorification. The death of self must precede resurrection
and glory. Feast of Tabernacles Sermon
by John W. Ritenbaugh God's mysteries have been in plain sight from the beginning of time, but carnality has obscured them from mankind. Bible Study by Staff Most of our Christian lives will be spent going on to perfection. But how do we do it? This Bible Study helps explain this broad,
yet vital subject. Sermon
by Richard T. Ritenbaugh Each of the letters in Revelation 2 and 3 speak of overcoming. By examining those churches, we can understand what we are up against and what we must do. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh God has providentially
given us trials to build character, proving beyond a doubt that we believe Him and have a burning desire to be at one with Him. 'Ready Answer' by David F. Maas Double-mindedness is like being a double agent, serving two masters. As Christ says, one master will be neglected—and unfortunately,
it is usually God. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh The
letters in Revelation 2 and 3 are for the end times, shortly before Christ's return. Each emphasizes repentance, overcoming, and judgment according to works. Sermon by Martin G. Collins Our Christian warfare cannot merely consist in maintaining a defensive holding pattern, but instead we must go on the conquering offensive,
using the sword. Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by
John W. Ritenbaugh God is absolutely faithful to His promises. We attain salvation is entirely by grace; God owes us absolutely nothing. Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh Only by using God's Spirit can we gain the self-discipline, self-mastery, and self-control to put to death the carnal pulls, giving
us freedom from sin. Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh Our
outward works show what we believe, what we worship, and what we aspire to become. Apart from God, all human works activities are potentially destructive. Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh The best weapon against the evil of our human nature is to develop the mind of Christ within us to displace our carnal nature.
Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh Idolatry is
the most frequently committed sin, seen in five commandments. God challenges us to either defend our body of beliefs or drop them in favor of His. Herbert W. Armstrong Booklet Can a Christian commit a sin, and still be a Christian? Or would this be 'the unpardonable sin'? Or would it prove
he never was a Christian? Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh To counteract complacency, Hebrews warns against neglecting God's invitation of salvation, which He does not guarantee until sanctification has run its
course. Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh Even though the evidence from creation is overwhelming, people deliberately want to disregard it because accepting it would require submitting to His will. 'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh We must understand Jesus' words about being born again from a spiritual perspective. Interpreting His symbols physically
obscures necessary truths. Sermon by Martin G. Collins A lack of self-control, as well as the cultivation of self-indulgent perversions, will characterize large segments of our society living at the end times. Sermon by David C. Grabbe At baptism, we begin living in two realities simultaneously, one identified by the physical senses and the other discerned by the eyes of faith. Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by David F. Maas Here are biblical strategies to cultivate the fruit of peace, including controlling our thoughts and emotions, submitting to God's will, and embracing His law.
Sermon by Martin G. Collins Ephesians 2
says Christians were spiritually dead. Thankfully, God resurrected us from the grave through the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ.  Article by Bill Onisick Paul describes the Christian
life as a process of change: from the old man to the new man. However, we typically resist change because it is difficult. Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh Refraining from work on the Day of Atonement symbolizes our inability to atone for our sins. We, humble and poor in spirit, depend upon God
for everything. Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh God
mandates that we unlearn carnal processes (purging the leaven) and totally adopt new spiritual processes- eating unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh Being reared in a democratic nation sometimes complicates our relationship with God; God's government is actually a sovereign, benevolent

Bible frequently uses the symbol of fruit. Here is an in-depth look at what it means to bear fruit, and the work of the Holy Spirit in us.
google images Come To Me All You Who Labor And Are Heavy Burdened By Russ Walden The Father says today, come to Me all you who labor and are heavy burdened. There are those
who have cried the “burden of the Lord, the burden of the Lord,” seeking to add a false sense of alarm and conspiracy rather than godly edifying, which is in faith. They say you must know what the enemy is doing – but WHAT DO YOU CARE ABOUT
THE LOSING TEAM! When the Cross was accomplished, I made a public and open spectacle of the defeated foe – ALL IN YOUR BEHALF! The victories won upon Calvary are the laurels laid upon your brow today. I Am taking you, not reeling
from one disaster to another but, from faith to faith and from glory to glory – ALWAYS causing you to triumph, for that is WHO I AM and WHAT I DO! I hear the groan of your captivity, says the Father. Put your attention on Me, for
you are where your attention takes you. Set your affection on things above where My throne is established. As you look to My throne in the heavens, My throne will be established on the earth, and you will truly learn and experience what it is to reign as kings
on the earth in connection with the king of kings and Lord of Lords that I Am in your situation. So let your heart sing and let your alleluias resonate, for the bars are breaking, and the prison doors of your life are bursting asunder.
The “jailbreak” angels are at the entrance to escort you into your blessing place even at this moment, says God. Prophet Russ Walden

FIRE BY NIGHT By Glenn H. Jackson "Reflections Upon Reflections" [of The Father's Heart] ...."You,
in Your great compassion, did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, to guide them on their way, or the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go".... Nehemiah 9:19 NASB
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY YEARS OF REFINING Words of prophecy: *____Now is the long-awaited time of "release". For, in
these days, I am going to reward all those who have been faithful and true through the midst of a very intense refining process - and, also, the many "storms" [turmoil] created by the Evil One. ...."And
we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises".... Hebrews 6:11-12 NASB
____There have been many years of "refining" for those who truly love God BUT the good news is that this time has been a time of perfect preparation for one's entrance into the fullness of their true Kingdom-position and destiny,
in Christ. Those who have been found faithful [those who are found seeking first the Kingdom] are getting very close to some truly amazing things! ____...."Now to Him Who, by [in consequence of] the [action
of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams] - to Him be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen [so be it]".... Ephesians 3:20-21 The Amplified Translation Prayer of Proclamation: ____Father, we thank You and
praise You that, in your great Love for us, You have prepared us [through the refining furnace of Your Love] to walk in the "fullness" of all that You created us to be, in Christ. And we declare all of these things DONE [on
an ongoing basis] in Jesus' Name - to Your greatest Glory! Amen. ____...."For we are God's [own] handiwork [His workmanship], recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined
[planned beforehand] for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]".... Ephesians 2:10 The Amplified Translation ____...."But
without faith [love and obedience] it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly
and diligently seek Him [out]".... Hebrews 11:6 The Amplified Translation http://jtlmin.com
