Life in Christ Jesus Podcast

Jehovah-Jireh – Hearing God’s Provision Hearing God’s voice has been part of the focus within our local fellowship the last few weeks.  In the story of Abraham and Isaac, God’s purpose for mankind is set forth.  Isaac is a promised Son. Israel becomes God’s holy nation coming out of the promised Son.  In type and shadow this nation was brought forth through Isaac’s resurrection from the dead, whic...

Jehovhah-jireh – Thine Only Son John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice.”  Many of us may spend a lot of time seeking to hear the voice of God.  Jesus said clearly that His sheep would hear His voice.  Many may deduce His statement to only the written word of God, but that would not be the case.  We who are in union with Him should hear His voice.  I believe the challenge we may have is what is His voi...

Jehovah-Jireh In the last lesson, we looked at Jehovah and this name of God in relationship to Israel’s salvation, and how it spoke of God’s fulfillment of salvation in Christ Jesus our Lord.  As God appeared to Moses, He declared His name Jehovah to him and God declared that He had appeared to Abraham as God Almighty but by the name of Jehovah was not made known unto him.  This I believe, the Lor...

The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me II Isaiah 61:1-3  “The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all...

The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me What a powerful and common scripture that is found in Isaiah 61 and Luke 4.  The Spirit of the Lord Isaiah 61:1-7  The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on Me, because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and complete opening to the bound ones; 2 to proclaim the accepta...

His Words Abide Forever 2 – Spirit and Life Isaiah 66:1  “Thus saith Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest?”  For a long period of time the Lord dealt with my heart in Isaiah 66:1. These words rolled over and over within my heart and mind, “Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool.”  In the...

He is our righteousness!  How many believers have awakened to righteousness?  When we come to our Father in prayer do we thank Him for the righteousness that we have in Christ Jesus?  I am afraid the answer to this question for many is no.  I am afraid that we struggle with sin consciousness.  We are aware so often of our inabilities, but NOT AWARE of HIS ABILITIES! Just as our sin was laid on Jes...

One of the most controversial subjects within the Body of Christ is the Holy Spirit Baptism.  John the Baptist declared there was one mightier than him, who was coming, as he was baptizing in the Jordan river for the remission of sins.  He declared the COMING ONE, would baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire.  Before Jesus ascension on High He told His disciples to gather in Jerusalem and wait...

Jesus destroyed him that had the power of death, the devil. Hebrews 2:14-15  “Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.”  Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the...

Continuing in our study of the King and His Kingdom, we are continually looking at Psalms 2, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten you." and Acts 13 regarding Psalms 2.  In Acts 13 it shows Jesus to be begotten from the dead.  This statement, "this day have I begotten you," is speaking directly of His Resurrection.  This is a prominent statement in scripture, and is also found in Hebrews 1. H...

A Common thought among many believers is Jesus is a soon coming King, and the view is what will happen when He comes.  The question I have is if He is not King RIGHT NOW, then who's authority are you under?  Colossians 1:11-14  May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to s...

In this sharing we are looking at the dominion of the King.  What is the King's Dominion?  What does Jesus reign over? Have you ever considered it?  He reigns over sin.  He reigns over death, hell, and the grave.  He declared as recorded in Matthew 28 that all authority is given to Him in heaven and earth.   In the beginning when God created man He gave man dominion over the earth.  However, when...

Psalms 2:6 "Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion."  When I look at this what comes to my heart is God's King and God's Mountain.  This naturally speaking of King David, of who the Lord said was after His own heart.  Spiritually it is speaking of Christ Jesus our Lord and King.  David as God's King had a heart after God.  His story is quite significant for us to understand God's work in...

Jesus said in John 4 that the "true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and truth."  He goes on to say that God seeks such worship.  God is Spirit and is seeking a people to worship Him in spirit and truth.  Jesus says in John 14 that He is the truth.  The word truth, Strong's 225, comes from a word Strong's 227 words that mean the reality of something revealed. According to Thayer's Lex...

In this podcast we are looking at text in John 4 - John 4:2-24 "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth...

In John 18 it is recorded that Jesus said, "My Kingdom is not of this World."  The rule and transforming power of Jesus is not simply him telling us to do things, and we go and do them.  It is the Holy Spirit bringing us, the believer, into the Vision of Christ, and us living out of that Vision in the earth.  In John 17, Jesus declared concerning the church "that they may be one, I in them thou in...

In John 18 it is recorded that Jesus declared to Pilot that “my Kingdom is not of this world.”  If we can hear it, Jesus was taken by the Kingdoms of the World to be crucified.  He was taken by the Jewish nation and crucified by Rome.  The Kingdom of Judah operated to physically overthrow Jesus as it was threatened by His teaching, and demonstration of power through the Holy Ghost. Consider that d...

In the last teaching we looked at how the Kingdom of God came, and understood through the Parable of the Sower and the seed that the Kingdom of God was sown into our hearts through the word of God, and expands as that word increases.  In this teaching we are exploring the furtherance of the Kingdom.  The Kingdom moves through us as we share this word.  Christ gave his word to the disciples, and th...

In Luke 17:20-21 Jesus declares to the Pharisees the Kingdom of God is within you.  He declares it does not come with observation, but behold it is within you.  The question we should ask and seek from our Father, is how does the Kingdom of God come?  Many of us have looked for the Kingdom of God to physically appear before us, whatever our concept may be.  To understand the coming of the Kingdom...

At the end of Ephesians 1 is a very powerful introduction of the King of the Kingdom of God.  Jesus has all dominion, authority, and power and desires to express that through His Body, which is the church. In this sharing we are beginning to explore the Kingdom of God, and the King we that are His have to do with. 

This sharing is a more in depth look at Matthew 24:35  "His word shall not pass away."   In this sharing we look at the New Covenant set forth in the words of Jesus, along with the out pouring of the Holy Spirit.  In Isaiah 59 it was declared that the Lord's Covenant would be His Spirit and His Words.  He had placed His Spirit and His words within a Seed and this Covenant would flow throughout the...

What did Jesus mean in Matthew 24:35, when He said " 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away"  In this sharing I am considering His Word shall not pass away.  I believe His Words are the Words of the New Covenant that was put in force through His death, burial and resurrection.  This is a powerful understanding that the Lord began to show me over the last couple of ye...

In this sharing we are looking at the scripture in Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."  What does Jesus mean by this?  What Heaven is passing?  Have you considered that in the Bible it speaks of more than one Heaven?  Also, have you considered that God said through Isaiah Heaven is my throne?  As a throne it would be necessary to have a King and a ru...

Thisis the 5th teaching on Heaven. As I have asked early on in these tachings.  In your view of Heaven, How many have a view of a slain lamb in the midst of the throne? Could this be the view of the Government of God, and how God now Governs His people? The slain lamb - The Lord Jesus Christ! The Apostle Paul said in his writings, "I have determined to know nothing among you but Christ and Him cru...

This is the fourth teaching on the series of Heaven. We are taking a deeper look at Heaven and the Heavenlies, and its relationship to our God and His people. I pray you enjoy and are increased in the Lord Jesus Christ!
