TouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In Christ

According to Romans chapter 8 verse 2 (AMPC), the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed the believer from the law of sin and of death. Jesus has set the believer free from the bondage of sin and the wages of it, being a spiritual death. Do you KNOW this promise of God, or is your conscience condemning you, continually keeping you in a prison of b...

We are not helpless. We do not have to succumb to fear or anxiety about anything in our lives, or anything in the world. The Word of God assures us of what has to happen in these end times, but Jesus also re-assures us, His sheep, for us not to be frightened or troubled. This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Matthew 24:44-47; Psalm 119:105; Philipp...

If I have pure faith, with no unbelief, doubt or fear, but yet I lack love, I am a useless nobody. So writes the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:2. We summarize all that we have learned from our mini-series on faith, and crown faith with the importance of having love. Love after all leads us to desire to pray for ourselves and for others, in faith, towards whatever the situation demands. This pro...

Jesus speaks of us hearing of wars and rumors of wars, a nation rising against another nation, a kingdom against another kingdom (Matthew 24:6-7). However, we the church are to stand strong in our faith, not be frightened or troubled. For if we fear, how can we be in faith because our fear represents a lack of trust in the Lord that He will protect us. Part one of the program includes focus on the...

God the Father rescues a soul from the powers of darkness when that soul uses its God-given Faith to confess and receive Jesus as Lord, believing God raised Him from the dead. Our faith played a central role in our believing in the person of Christ Jesus by faith, since those of us listening were not around to witness Him at the Cross and walking the earth over 2000 years ago. This program covers...

James 2:14 What is the use (profit), my brethren, for anyone to profess to have faith if he has no [good] works [to show for it]? Can [such] faith save [his soul]?   What is the point of God giving us faith if we never use it for good works that He has predestined for us to walk in (Ephesians 2:10)? God only gives us what we need, so let us use what He has given us, for His glory, to be set free,...

It is easier to believe than we think. It is easier to use the equal measure of faith God has given to each of us. If we base our understanding of how effective our faith is based on whether we see something quickly, this can be a problem and introduce doubt. This will immediately cancel the faith, the existence of the substance of things hoped for, that was being established right up to the momen...

Pure Faith without a doubt, is what causes our mountains to move when we speak to them. 2 Corinthians 13:5 begins by saying 'Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it'.  We should examine ourselves often to ensure we are holding to our faith, using it wisely. If we have doubts creeping in, refocus on the...

Continuing the topic of faith, we speak on trusting by faith with what we do not see for it to become visible, instead of making conclusions and accepting things based on what we see, smell, taste, hear etc. However, we believe the Holy Spirit led us to speak on an unrelated topic first. Proverbs 3:7-8 explains how our body receives health when we turn entirely away from evil, and, instead, revere...

In the past couple of weeks, we have been talking about our faith being more effectual when speaking God's Word over situations, by knowing more about his nature and character. We can do this by not only pondering and meditating on scriptures in the bible, but also by spending time with the Lord in the secret place. In this week's program we begin to look at removing doubt, unbelief and...

We continue on this topic of Faith, building a foundation of understanding. Your Faith, your trusting in someone is more effective once you get to know their character and nature. When we come to know the Lord more, and we see His heart for His creation, we can be more effective ministers of the Gospel. That is because our faith, our trust will contain no doubt, unbelief or fear when we are believ...

It's a lot easier to trust in someone once you get to know them. Trusting in the Lord allows our Faith to be used more effectively, simply because once you know the Lord's nature and character, you realize there is no reason to doubt what He has promised us. When doubt, unbelief and fear have all been removed, all that is left is pure Faith. That's when the mountains you're spe...

 2 Peter 1:1 shows that we have obtained an equal privilege of like precious faith with ourselves in and through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. We have received a measure of faith to use continually, not just in times of need. We used faith while we were yet sinners - to believe in a God we could not see, and the salvation His Son Jesus paid for at the cross, to receive eter...

The undeserved favor, the mercy and favor of God has caused fallen man who received Jesus as Savior and Lord, to be reconciled, rescued by God the Father. The Father Himself rescues every soul that invites Jesus into their hearts, out from under the powers of darkness and into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son. From the moment of receiving Jesus as your Lord, you became a new creation, a new creature...

How close is your relationship with God the Father? Is anything preventing you from enjoying the relationship He paid so preciously for, even though none of us deserved being offered rescue from an eternal spiritual death? Are you able to be close in relationship with Him, or are you wary based on experiences with your earthly father? We explore the Word of God that talks about His love for us, wh...

Colossians 1:13 says that The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.  Ephesians 1:4 tells us that God chose us first before we chose Him. We made the choice out of our free will to accept and receive Jesus as our Savior and Lord. We also talk about how faith played a central role i...

The Lord loves you, whether you love him or reject him. He doesn't favor one person over another since scripture says he's no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). There are ramifications in our daily lives, and ultimately our destiny, however, depending on whether we receive and confess Jesus as our Lord or keep on rejecting Him. This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplif...

We continue this week with how God breathed His Own Word, that He wrote the Bible and not man, with man being inspired by God to write what he heard in his heart to write. How it is critical to think like God thinks, not like we used to carnally think. How God does not change our minds, but waits for us to make the decision to give our life to Him, and receive His Son as Savior and Lord, before re...

This week we are continuing on with the study of Proverbs 15:15 (AMPC), and the power of anxious thoughts that can encourage and reaffirm evil events in our daily lives. The power of thoughts and what you say with your tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and whether you decide to acknowledge God every day, spending time with him, walking with Him, knowing He is with you.... These things dictate how you will...

This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth which is the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God. If the believer still thinks t...

This program reminds us of the defeat of sickness and disease, as a result of God defeating the devil and his powers of darkness by him being disarmed (Col 2:15). The devil may still have the ability to inflict  sickness and disease and other oppressive evil measures against humanity, but he has no authority to do so because of being disarmed by God in Christ, at the Cross (Col 2:15).  Now, the be...

During these challenging times of sickness and disease in the world, or whatever troubles you are facing, we need to make the decision to not live in fear or worry, but to listen to God instead of moving away from him for one more day. God is always speaking to us, but are we holding a conversation with him? There is no relationship without communication. God has paid an extremely high price to al...

In this week's program on your Identity in Christ, we teach on Galatians chapter 5, verse 1 (ESV):  -- For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.  How precious was, and is the blood of Christ, the perfect sacrifice for us, the undeserving human race. The finished works of our Lord include our release from being slaves to sin, sickne...

In this program we draw the distinction between the popular Psalm Chapter 91, and the position of the believer as a new creation based on the finished works of Christ at the Cross. While it is perfectly acceptable for a person to take comfort, believe and trust in the Lord by following Psalm 91, it is important to acknowledge and live by the finished works of the Cross. Jesus shed his blood to pay...

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name (John 1:12 AMPC). Our hearts do not become sick because our hope is not deferred when our hope is in our faithful Heavenly Father, and Christ Jesus who intercedes for us together with the Holy Spir...
