The Guardian Fruit for Stability—Peace

           “The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching Peace by Jesus Christ: (He is Lord of all.)” (Acts 10:36) Of all the words that God could send to the children of Israel, He chose to send “Peace.” Peace with heaven, peace with God, peace that was lost when Adam and Eve transgressed Covenant with God in the beginning. In Colossians 1:19-20, we read, “For it pleased the Father that in Him (Jesus), should all fullness well; and having made peace through the blood of His cross by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” By the blood of His cross, we have peace with God and all things are reconciled.

          When you asked Jesus to come into your heart a creative miracle happened in your spirit. Your spirit was recreated in the express image of Jesus Christ. You were born again of God with sins forgiven and an inheritance provided for the vision or assignment God has for you in this earth realm. That is what peace has provided for you.

          In Philippians 4:6-7, we read, “Be careful (anxious, worried) for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep (or guard) your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” “He keeps him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him because he trusts in Him.” (Isa 26:3)

          Peace keeps the soul spiritually minded, in agreement with the spiritual reality of the new creation. When the spirit and soul agree, then the spiritual reality of the inheritance in Christ can be manifested consistently in the physical realm. You will prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers in peace! The mind stayed on peace accelerates the renewing of the mind in spiritual reality, casting every care on the word that is alive and active in your spirit.

          As you work these scriptures concerning this guardian fruit, you’re keeping your soul from being drawn into meditating the five sense realm, keeping your heart from being overridden by natural information. You are walking with God with the defeated devil under your feet. (Rom 16:20)

Spiritual Force of Joy

          Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9

           What is “joy unspeakable?” It’s a joy that you cannot explain. It is a spiritual, unconditional, perpetual Joy!  It’s one of the most powerful fruits of your born again spirit. To rejoice (Greek word- agalliao) means to “jump for joy, exult, rejoice exceedingly, be exceedingly glad!”

          When our first grand baby was 3, the family came down from Minnesota to see all the family on both sides. They were over at the other grandparents home and had called us to come by. Of course we had to stop and get something for little Fantley. We would not want to go empty-handed. As we rounded the turn to go to their house, little Fantley was on the porch watching and waiting expectantly! As he saw us rounding that turn and headed his way he started rejoicing, jumping, and leaping with arms and legs going everywhere excited to see us! How that touched my heart almost to tears! I was overwhelmed with the love and joy of a 3-year-old grand baby excited to see us. I was so thankful we had stopped to get a little toy for him.

          What if we were like that coming to church, watching and looking, expecting, excited to be with the family of God and expecting God to show up with signs, wonders and miracles! When His people are excited, jumping, leaping, and rejoicing in expectation, the Holy Spirit will not manifest without gifts for everyone!

          This spiritual fruit of joy is a helper for your faith by keeping your faith healthy and keeping your soul in the “NOW” where faith can move! When activated this fruit of Joy will destroy old memory strongholds and their emotional responses. It will destroy pathways of addiction in the brain. It will keep your soul in the life and peace realm, spiritually minded. It is the very root and source for Grace to be manifested by faith.

          One of my earliest experiences with this supernatural force of Joy was years ago when all kinds of symptoms were attacking my physical body. It could have been the flu or any number of things. (Don’t wait to try to figure it out what it is! Attack it!) We had just heard about Jesus provision for healing and I was working it—by his stripes I was healed, Christ has redeemed me from the curse having been made a curse for me, He bore that sickness and He carried that pain. I was working it all day. Finally, at the end of the day, I sat down on the bench next to our landline phone. I could sense a little ball of joy deep inside of my spirit!

           As I continued to confess God’s word, it became bigger and bigger. I began to hear laughter on the inside of me! I started laughing and laughing and laughing with nothing on the outside to laugh about. The symptoms were still magnifying themselves. Nothing seemed to have changed on the outside; but I knew I had it! I simply went to bed and awakened totally refreshed with not one sick symptom in my body.

          As you are working your faith, many times the defeated devil will bring opposite pressure as you’re pressing in for manifestation of your inheritance. He will bring condemnations, accusations, and temptations. He will bring shame, guilt, regret, thoughts of unworthiness and failure. He will lie to you about your Heavenly Father’s love for you. (Love energizes your faith.) Just start laughing instead of crying over painful memories! If you will just start rejoicing and praising God instead of yielding to any kind of addiction, Joy will break down addiction pathways in the brain!  If you will “agalliao” when a bad report tries to contradict your faith, the fruit of the Joy of the Lord will rise up, help your faith and  keep your soul in the NOW for your faith to operate properly, destroying strongholds and dissolving emotional responses to memories.

          As you continue to do this, there is a point at which you will never have to deal with those things again. You will be outgrowing those contradictions of a defeated devil and soar into your new realm of inheritance, prospering and being in health, for you and your family, even as your soul prospers.

In Christ’s Joy,

Discovering the Faith Energizing Force of Love

          As the minister was closing in on the “meat” of his sermon, something he said seemed to pierce my heart. Tears welled up in my eyes as the note of those words seemed to strike a chord deep in my innermost being. Grief tried to overwhelm my soul knowing I had lacked this very essential element of faith. Yet a longing in my soul that said, “I want that! Is that for me? How can that ever be?!” But the still small voice responded, “Yes, it belongs to you. All things are possible to him who believes.” With that unction on the inside came a determination to seek the Lord and enter another dimension of my faith walk with God.

          What was that startling understanding that had such a bearing on my soul and determination in my spirit? It seemed that my faith just wasn’t going to be strong enough to take me where I needed to go. But now I had a master key to success! The scripture from which the minister was taking his text was Galatians 5:6, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through Love.”

          As the minister began to explain this verse he said, “Your faith works and is energized by revelation understanding of God’s great love for you.” Yes, we must walk in love toward others for our faith to work. Faith comes to a screeching halt where there is strife. But you can only walk in this supernatural, unconditional, perpetual love of God to the extent that you understand His love for you!

          Start meditating  and confessing Love of God scriptures. In John 17:23 Jesus shows us that God loves us as much as He loves Jesus! In verse 26 of the same chapter He prayed that the love with which the Father loved Jesus would be in us. That’s Big!!

          This will not only energize your faith, but will also develop the internal anointing that will support a greater external anointing. Scriptures concerning the fruit of the spirit develops the inward man, who you are. The gifts of the Spirit come upon you as an outward anointing for ministry.

          Let’s work these fruit of the spirit scriptures as we prepare to study The Anointing Checklist and Gifts of the Spirit. And let’s advance the Kingdom in a demonstration of power!

In the Joy of Christ,

Energizing Fruit of Love

    1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Ga 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

Ps 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My Name.

De 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations;

Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in his love, He will joy over thee with singing.

John 17:22-23 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

Romans 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

2Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

1John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1Jo 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Hebrews 13:5b-6 For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (This is Covenant Love!!)

Sow Kingdom Covenant Seed into Your Hearts

All other religions of the world pray, worship, and serve a god that is on the outside. We pray, worship, and serve Jesus Who’s on the inside. Colossians 1:27 says, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Luke 17:20-21 says, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation (or looking around on the outside)…the kingdom of God is within you.”

          This understanding forms the basis for the Fear of the Lord Covenant which is the foundation for all our other Covenants. The fear of the Lord is defined as a cautious respect for God and His ways. The scripture that gives us understanding of the first part of that definition is Proverbs 3:5-6 which is a cautious respect for God, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not until thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy path.”

          A cautious respect for God’s ways is found in Romans 4:17, “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations) before Him whom he believed, even God,  Who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which be not as though they were.“

          Confess the same thing that God says! The word, “confess” in the Greek is homologeo or say the same thing God says! Remember, walking in Covenant with God? He has all the power, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and He’s everywhere. Our part of the Covenant is to supply Him the authority and dominion in the Earth through our obedience. Therefore, homologeo is covenant!

          Jesus said in John 5:30, “I can of mine own self do nothing. As I hear I judge and My judgment is just because I seek not mine own will but the will of Him who sent Me.” How do we overcome seeking our own will and speaking our own words? We sow Kingdom seeds into the good soils of our hearts!

          Anything you admire in someone else, even Jesus, is the result of those people sowing good seed into the good soils of their hearts. The opposite is also true.    Let’s focus on the good! If you want to strengthen your love walk, you sow words like 1Corinthians 13:4-8 into your heart. You put your name in that passage of scripture. God is Love. Your are born of His love. Therefore you, spirit, New Creation are Love!

          Then what does He say in Joshua 1:8? “This book of the law(word of God) shall not depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success.” You stay with 1Corinthians 13:4-8 until there is a discernible shift in your soul! Confess it this way! “I am patient, I am kind, I am not jealous….”NASB

          There are times when you will have to speak and act contrary to your feelings! DID YOU HEAR ME? You praise God when you don’t feel like it, or say what God says with other people around who may ridicule you. This action of faith will dissolve the old trees that are producing bad fruit. Speaking and acting contrary to feelings will help make room for the new trees that are growing in your heart from the good seed you are sowing!!

In His Joy!

Healing Revival Encouragement

What if your motive for coming to the Healing Revival was to learn how to get someone else healed?! That sounds a lot like Phil 2:3, “…let each esteem other better than themselves!” When that is your motive, then what God can get through you, He can get to you!

          If you have not yet signed up for the Healing Revival, I strongly encourage you to do so! If you do not believe you can make every night, sign up and just start with Sunday night. Take one day at a time and seek the Lord to find out what He would have you to do.

          Every one of us should seek to increase our understanding of God’s will, substitutionary work, faith connection, and possessing healing, not just for ourselves but to help others receive their healing from heaven. We are miracle workers. This is what immersion is all about, getting beyond ourselves and overflowing onto others! Remember,  what God can get through you He can get to you! Let’s take our cities for Jesus. Let’s follow God’s example! “For God so loved the world!” Let’s learn all we can about healing!

          Do not forget the person whose brain has been damaged by drug and alcohol addiction. I especially would like to see these people come Sunday night and have an experience with God immersing in His Anointed Word! I believe acceleration of recovery through brains being healed is vital! Pastor Alberta is a prime example of the miraculous power of God’s word restoring her brain function. After 21 years of drug and alcohol abuse, the damage done to her brain would have been similar to Alzheimer’s disease. The word of God will do that kind of restoration for anyone.

          Come to the Healing Revival and bring a friend!

In His Joy!

The Capacity of the New Creation Spirit

Let me take you on a journey through the word of God and let us discover the capacity of what your new creation spirit is able to contain and encompass! First of all, let’s look at Jesus’ encounter with the demoniac of the Gadarenes, after He had come through a violent storm on the sea and arrived on the other side. This is found in Mark 5.

You remember, Jesus arose, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still.” Then came a great calm. That storm had been stirred up by the enemy that did not want the Gaderene demoniac set free. As soon as the disciples came out of the ship this man with that unclean spirit ran toward Jesus and worshipped Him. The man wanted to be free, but the defeated devil was controlling his mouth. This demoniac was incapable of being bound by man—not with chains or fetters or anything else. The devils empowered his body with superhuman strength.

The devils besought Jesus to send them into a herd of swine. There were about 2,000 swine nearby which makes us consider probably 2000 devils were inhabiting his man. Where were these devils residing or possessing this man? They were in his soul. He had the capacity in his soul to encompass 2,000 devils who could control him. That’s huge!

If the soul of man has that much capacity, how much more the spirit, especially the born again New Creation spirit, born of Jesus Christ! In Ephesians 1:16-18, Paul prays that God would grant the Ephesians “a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of the Father of Glory, the eyes of their understanding being enlightened to know the riches of the glory of the Father’s inheritance in the new creation spirit.” It is huge!

Remember Adam’s home, the Garden of Eden? The Strong’s definition describes Eden as the region of Adam’s home, not just a lot. Abraham’s promise was that he would be heir of the whole world. After Lot had left him, in Genesis 13:16, God told Abram to lift up his eyes north, south, east, and west. As far as he could see, God would give him that land.

Abram, in chapter 15, believed God concerning his son and children to be as the stars of heaven in multitude, and his faith was counted to him for righteousness. No wonder the Old Testament saints went to Abraham’s bosom when they moved off this planet. The capacity of his heart in righteousness was huge.

Philippians 2:5-6 says, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.” We are speaking concerning the capacity of your born

again, new creation spirit. Consider Proverbs 25:3, “the heaven for height, the Earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable!” Ephesians 3:16-19, Paul prays for these Christians, ”That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God!”

What is the capacity of the new creation born again spirit? It is huge! The only limiter is the soul—the mind, will, and emotions. Faith is believing who you are in Christ, the new creation you, meditating His Word and fashioning your soul according to that huge capacity.

As you meditate, speak, and shout the new creation you, grace will deliver your soul from carnally minded, small thinking into the spiritually minded way God thinks which is huge! This breaks loose all the tourniquets in the soul so that who you are, the capacity in your spirit, can manifest in this natural realm!

When the soul is delivered into that life and peace realm, it creates a channel for the mercy, the creative power of God’s love, the anointing of Almighty God, to manifest in this natural realm. It will supernaturally create your inheritance—a healed, healthy, whole body; the provision and all that’s necessary for you to fulfill a huge assignment in this earth Realm!

Growing in Faith and Grace

How timely is this immersion program for all of us! Please listen to this prophetic word given by Apostle Philip Derber, the chancellor of IBTC, September 17th, 2024. You can get the message by going to Youtube, type in Faith Victory Church, tap the icon to go to the Faith Victory Church channel, then go to live messages. Choose Suffering Storm. You can also tap the link at the beginning of this message.

First of all, we have said from the beginning that the Outlaw Church is preparing the Church, the body of Christ, for the Glory of the Lord! God said in Numbers 14:21, “But truly as I live, the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.”

As Apostle Derber has said in this timely message, the defeated devil is not going to lie down and give up his ground with no fight. But we fight the good fight of faith because we have already won in Christ Jesus. Jesus Christ is Lord of all! He has overcome hell, death, and the grave! And we are overcomers in Him!

That is why understanding each aspect of the Circle of Faith, will help you get to the finish line every time, not succumbing to the temptations to quit during the tribulation part of the circle.

In prayer is where you take care of everything spiritually! Philippians 4:6-7, “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” This is how you cast all your care upon the Lord, for He cares for you! (1Peter 5:6-7)

The grace of God is God’s ability which comes to empower your ability. Grace is God’s ability gift to live and function in the gifts and calling! You are never alone. By His grace He will never leave you nor forsake you. If God be for you, who can stand against you and the grace of God that you walk in by faith?

Continue to be diligent in this immersion training program! You will not be disappointed! You are not just gathering information, but you are receiving revelation which is changing you on the inside! You are going from faith to faith, strength to strength, and glory to glory. Every obstacle in your path you will overcome, walking and leaping and praising God! This is a glorious leap year for you!

Much strength and Joy in Christ,

God is Preparing a New Generation

Keep our RAP going!

I’m a New Creation of a New Generation,

I’m a New Creation of a New Generation,

I’m a New Creation of a New Generation!

          Let’s refresh our memories concerning this RAP. Putting Colossians 1:18 and 2 Corinthians 5:17 together, we see Jesus is the firstborn of the New Creation, “And He is the head of the body, the church: Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.” “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”   Then in Psalm 22:30, we remember this exciting passage, “A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.”
          Now let’s look at Jeremiah 2:3 in the Amplified Classic version, “Israel was holiness unto the Lord, and the firstfruits of His increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord.” Notice God called Israel holy unto the Lord, and the firstfruits of His increase! Does that sound like the tithe and first fruits? In Leviticus 27:30, God calls the tithe holy! “And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord.”
          Now let’s go to the New Testament in James 1:18. God says, “Of his own will begat He us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.”
          Are you not begotten of God, born again of the incorruptible seed of God’s word? (1Peter 1:23) That reminds us of Psalm 22:30. You are holy! “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” (1st Peter 2:9)
          God is preparing a new generation of people who will go in and possess their promised land! As in the wilderness, when the older generation refused to go in and possess their inheritance, God raised up a new generation of people who had experienced the supernatural provision of God, untainted by the world by being separated 40 years in the wilderness.
          Now God is raising up a new creation, a new generation of people He calls the first fruits of His harvest, to possess their inheritance! “To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.” (1 Peter 1:4) 
          See yourself as a set-apart person for God, a new creation of a new generation, who will not back off or quit immersing in the Word of God. You are holy to the Lord, a special New Generation, who will possess a supernatural inheritance in this natural world!
          I believe we are bankrupting the devil!

Sacredness of Human life
 
          There has been so much confusion in this nation in the last several years about many things. People have not understood who they are and how precious their life is in the sight of God. Christians have not understood their identity in Christ, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2Corinthians 5:17)
          People are looking for destiny, why they are here on this Earth at this time. Some have thought they were merely accidents of evolution. Others have thought they were just a mistake. They have even been confused about their gender! 
          The very root of the confusion is not understanding the sacredness of human life!
          “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27) “Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.” (Genesis 9:6)
          “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3:16-18)
          Why did God love the world so much as to give His only begotten Son? God considers our lives sacred in His sight, made in His image. Whatever price is paid for anything determines its worth. Your life is worth the very sacred, Holy Blood of Jesus Christ!
          Only the virgin born, precious Blood of Jesus Christ, which is incorruptible, God’s own, alive Blood, could cleanse the heart of a human being from sin and recreate that person in the image of God again. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2Corinthians 5:17)
          Without the understanding of the sacredness of human life, from the baby in the womb to the elderly that require assisted care with basic living needs, there is no true love, joy, and peace. The earth is filled with the violence of the shedding of innocent blood.
          As God said to Cain after he had murdered his brother, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground. 11 So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.” (Genesis 4:10-12)
          It is an antichrist spirit that would pressure those caught in the confusion of life’s meaning and purpose, to promote the death of the seemingly unwanted, yet innocent  lives essentially legalizing sin in this nation. If they do not consider human life sacred,  they do not consider your life or even their own lives sacred.
          It all begins with the clarification of the sacredness of human life. Where do you take your stand? As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. He considered my life so sacred, that He paid the ultimate price to give me a new life with purpose, vision, and a divinely inspired destiny that will count for all eternity!

From Faith to Faith
 
          For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:16-17)
          The more of the word of God you understand, the more faith is growing. The more revelation light on the substitutionary work of Christ, the more your faith grows. The more light on prayer, faith, and Grace, the more your faith grows. The more understanding of Ephesians 1:17-19a and applying it, the more your faith grows. The more you understand your assignment, your inheritance, the power or mercy available to you, the more your faith grows.
          Your faith has grown much more in this immersion program than you realize. The more faith grows, the more righteousness is revealed. The more your righteousness is revealed to you, the more you understand the new man or woman of the New Creation that you are. The more righteousness can be revealed, the more righteousness can manifest in this natural realm as holiness! Holiness is talking, acting, and living like God your Father.
          Ephesians 5:1 says to follow or imitate your Heavenly Father as dear children! Remember Colossians 1:18, 2nd Corinthians 5:17, and Psalm 22:30-31 and the Twisted pipe? Look those scriptures up again! You are a new creation of the new generation! Say it over and over again! Be established in righteousness and the scriptures will come alive to you more and more!
          And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. (Isa 32:17)
 
Much Joy in Christ,
