REVIEW: "Perizzite" means, "belonging to a village". Villages have a connotation of "smallness".

Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you ARISE AND SHINE: This is an INSTRUCTION but what does it mean? To understand we have to decode the rest of this verse. ARISE: Straight forward Get up, rise to the occasion, stand tall.

"If we were to go by the news that we are hearing or watching today, we would be excused for being discouraged and pessimistic. In fact, the media is full of all the economic bad news you can imagine. Yet in the midst of all this, we have a prophetic and a proceeding Word that is absolutely contrary to what is happening around us. In fact, according to our proceeding Word, this is our greates...

MANIFESTATIONS OF MAMMON: Mathew 6: 25: “Don't be anxious”. 1.Extreme Worry and Anxiety One of the first things that happens around money, is extreme anxiety and worry. If you're having extreme anxiety and worry around finances, then you’re under the influence of a spirit. -It may be from a proceeding word you get from the secular media in negative financial news and bleak future predictio...

1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV) 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10 Living Bible (TLB) 10 For the love of money is the first step toward all kinds of sin. Some people have even turned away from God because of their love for it, and as a result have pierced themselves with ma...

WHAT IS MAMMON? LAW OF CONTEXT: When Jesus uses this term, mammon it is in the context of the spirit which rests on those whose trust is on money. Mammon’s intent is to keep you enslaved and distracted from following God fully and pursuing the purposes of God in the advance of His Kingdom through the Prophetic and Proceeding word. Your mind is so preoccupied with how to make money that you do not...

In this video we discuss the process of personal growth that leads to success and prosperity. The journey begins with an internal shift towards stability and nourishment, likened to a tree firmly planted by streams of water. This shift enables the person to bear fruit in due time, and their energy and enthusiasm remain intact. As a result, they prosper in all their endeavors and achieve fulfillmen...

Today we want to discuss a specific kind of person that scripture gives a very bold and revolutionary statement about: …Whatsoever he puts his hands to do shall prosper….. The ESV version says; In all that he does, he prospers… Our intent in our current discussion, we want to discover HOW to become this kind of person. -1. What kind of Beliefs does this person have? -2. What kind of Mentality do t...

3. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left ``turning to the right hand refers to when one ADDS their own option or opinion to these laws; and turning to the left hand, when one omits or deletes one aspect of these laws. No mixtures, no adding of Babylonian or humanistic principles. So if you do according to ALL THE LAW (In our Day a combination of the MORAL & CIVIL LAW) The RESULT will...

Civil Law: These were primarily what dealt with person to person relationships and how to conduct day to day life including everything from family to economy. These were also connected to scientific and biological laws embedded in creation. -Examples: Social: property, inheritance, marriage and divorce.

The background of this instruction that God gives Joshua, is at a time when Moses has died and it is time to go in and possess the land. God once again reiterates that He has already given them the land and even once again mentions the territory it covers specifically. He then makes some key promises: --1. He will be with Him as He was with Moses --2. Every place he sets his foot will be given to...

We have now established that in SPIRITUAL WARFARE THE BATTLEGROUND IS IN OUR MINDS AND WE MUST CONFRONT STRONGHOLDS. Today we want to examine one of the main instances where Jesus deals with what may be a major contributor to strongholds. We first need to get the CONTEXT in which He is dealing with this issue which will then help us to narrow down the specific “Warzone” for lack of a better term t...

Bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.: The picture is of "a military expedition into enemy territory, an expedition so effective that every plan of the enemy is thwarted, every scheme foiled, every counter-offensive beaten". Whatever ideas of the unbeliever hindered faith, whatever notions or plans were barriers to repentance, they are defeated, captured, and...

In the last conversation we described the nature of the enemies we are at war with: -Principalities -Powers -Rulers of Darkness -Spiritual Hosts of Wickedness (In heavenly Places) In this episode we examine the weapons that we use and that are guaranteed to neutralize these enemies.

In the last conversation, we discovered that Poverty Mentality vs Wealth Mentality is a form of spiritual warfare. The real problem we face is that of being conformed to the world as this has led us to mindless automation and a lack of new choices, actions, and outcomes. The 80% of people recycle negative experiences, the 15% analyze and excuse their lack of action, and the 5% see every new possib...

The real purpose of the crucifixion as we have now articulated was to provide us we with 2 primary realities: --1. REDEMPTION --2. SALVATION -In our last conversation we outlined the meaning of these 2 terms but just in case you missed it let me repeat them. --Redemption: This is the Sovereign ACT of God where Jesus Voluntarily died on the cross and paid the FULL PRICE for reconciling us to God an...

In this 4th part of these series, we unveil what the TRUE MEANING of THE CRUCIFIXION is and how we are supposed to respond to it. We also discuss how in the confusion of rituals and religion, it is quite easy for well meaning and authentic believers to totally MISS THE POWER MADE AVAILABLE to us through the REDEMPTIVE WORK accomplished at the CRUCIFIXION

Join us as we discuss honor and giving in the Eklessia.

In this third part of the MYTH of easter, we now want to examine a the origin of something so Central to the Easter and Crucifixion story that it has literally acquired a Holy and Spiritual status. This is the Cross: While the CROSS is assumed to be so obvious that it requires no explanation whatsoever, you could be surprised. The true origin of the cross used in crucifixion by the Romans is not e...

We have so far discussed the fact that Easter is actually a distinctively different pagan festival that the crucifixion was forcefully incorporated to by Rome. We have also established that it was dedicated to a pagan goddess that was known by many different names historically by many pagan nations. Today we want to more closely examine this pagan system of belief and if at the Bible has any refer...

As we head to one of the most significant Holidays in Christendom, we would once again want to have a series of discussions of the origins of the term now widely used to describe this holiday. The reason we do such segments is to highlight how effectively the enemy can hijack a crucial component of the kingdom of God and dilute it’s significance and power by reducing it to a set of rituals and tra...

We continue to take a pause for reflection that requires action: In Mathew 13:52 (Jesus is speaking) “Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.” In other words, even as we progress we must take stock, and measure, ‘what is it that we have actualized so far’? And to do so, we have to look at some of th...

If you have noticed so far that the truth is our prosperity and our ability to produce wealth is not just some Mystic activity where prosperity and wealth comes from nowhere but in reality we have a responsibility to do certain things before we can benefit from the promises that God has given us. It would be remiss of us not quote from the famous Blessing Chapter of the Bible but we must do so wit...
