TouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In Christ

How Jesus is the Light of Men, and what we focus on with our eyes dictates whether we are filled with His Light. Jesus, being the Word also, brings Light unto our path, and a Lamp unto our feet, but only if we focus on His Word. The decision is ours alone. Are we focusing on Him, allowing the Lord to deliver us from a conscience that is darkened in unrighteousness? Or are we willing to remain in s...

Getting closer to the Lord is imperative to the believer. Getting to know Him by spending time with Him, and in His Word, which is Him, allows the Light that is Him, the Word that is Him, into our hearts. That our hearts would become free of all things that Christ Jesus isn’t. No more worries, anxieties, sicknesses. We have the choice, but the Lord deserves for us to choose Him and not remain in d...

The theme continues from last week, but with a temporary detour to encourage those battling temptations, going around the mountain of sin and repentance. There is a way of escape, and you have the ability to resist the devil and his temptations when you submit to God. The Lord is not the tempter but does not allow any evil temptation be so strong that we cannot resist it and escape from its seduct...

You’ll Only Find Him when you Seek Him with ALL of your heart (Jeremiah 29:13).  Call on the Lord, He will never decline your call.  (see also Jeremiah 33:3). Be free by Being with Him. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Who doesn’t want that? Only the demonic realm and all who agree with its temptations and its lies, not knowing the Truth that would otherwise set them free. We are...

Come close to God and He will come close to you (James 4:8 AMPC). A simple set of words to understand, but nonetheless conditional. We own the first move. Let us position our hearts towards Jesus that He may receive our love without us expecting anything in return. Nevertheless, you cannot stop a loving Lord from making His presence known to His child once He sees their heart has made the choice o...

A child comes home to his or her parents, their clothes full of mud as they were playing with friends in the world. The door of the family’s home is wide open, never closed to those seeking rescue. The loving parents, so pleased to see their child made it home, love on their child by giving them a hot bath and a shower. The parents then feed their child a hot meal so he or she becomes nourished an...

To forgive is just a word to some, but to others a verb. How can our words mean anything if the heart behind it is not love? 1 Corinthians 13 says, " if I speak in tongues of men and of angels but do not have love, I become a noisy gong or a clinging symbol." When we just say the words, “I forgive”, but our heart does not really mean it, we are just making noise. If we support forgivenes...

How many of us regret our actions once we know the truth about a situation? If you had known the truth, would you have acted differently? Perhaps in love and forgiveness instead of reacting in anger, frustration, and other ways? Those who do know the truth are called to a higher standard. This higher standard requires love, patience, kindness gentleness, self-control, goodness, faithfulness, and m...

Looking at unforgiveness through God's eyes, makes it so clear. When did God forgive us? Romans chapter 5 verse 8 (AMPC) - 8 But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. So we see that God's love for us causes him to forgive. Thus, we be conformed to the image of Christ in Romans 8...

Jesus prayed to his Father about the two criminals on the cross each side of his as recorded in Luke 23:34 “And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” They were criminals who had done something wrong, but Jesus asked his Father to forgive them anyway, because they “know not what they do.” Why should we forgive others who hurt or betrayed us? Who are we to determine th...

This week we speak about the importance of praying for those in leadership, in our jobs, but also in our cities and country where we live. The Apostle Paul implores Timothy in doing the same under his teaching. The program also highlights how we must understand the nature of the spiritual warfare going on daily in this fallen world, including in governments across the world, with Ephesians 6:12 te...

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...

"I believe in God”. “God has delivered me!”  “Praise God!” Is your heart intending to speak to all three persons of the Godhead at the same time? Are you focusing on one of them in particular when you say the name “God”?  Focusing on each person of the trinity can help foster a deeper relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three persons, One God. This program covers the following...

How did we react during and at the completion of 2020? Where is our focus that we may have a glad heart regardless of circumstances? (Proverbs 15:15). This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):  Psalm 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; Hebrews 13:8; Proverbs 15:15; Psalm 118:24; Isaiah 1:18; Revelation 3:20; Colossians 1:13; 2 Timothy 5:16; Psalm 138:22; Peter 3:9; M...

This week we continue to speak on the new creation of God : the newly created Believer - when he/she comes to Christ Jesus, having faith in His name. The Word of God profoundly declares in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17: “Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed awa...

Continuing this week with part 2 of the series on sin and how to break free of the vicious circle. We teach how it is possible to actually experience freedom of sin, now that we as believers have been set free of the powers of darkness by the finished works of Christ at the Cross. As the believer is well aware, giving your life to Christ Jesus does not automatically make you immune to the desire t...

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...

Born again or not, all are tempted by evil desires that come from the world and the powers of darkness that are around us. However, in this program we teach on scriptures that clearly show that neither Satan or the Lord are forcing us to take action on these temptations which can lead to sin which ultimately ends in spiritual (and sometimes physical) death. Rather, James 1:14 says “but each person...

The Spirit of the Lord leads us to read Psalm 103 verses 1 to 5 to start this week. Then, in the second part of the program, we continue the mini-series, ‘Your New ID Is Enclosed’, now on Part 5. We continue speaking from Romans chapter 6 verses 4 to 10. God has blessed all believers, in that, at the moment we made the decision to give our life to Jesus and receive Him as our Savior and Lord, we w...

We encourage and pray for those who are anxious and in worry at this time, bringing them hope by the Word of God. Psalm 91 assures us no foe can withstand the place where we dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. Those foes include all forms of evil, including sickness and disease. However, Psalm 91:1 starts out by saying “He who dwells”. This means that the benefits of the entire chapter do not app...

We continue this mini-series 'Your New ID Is Enclosed (Part 3)', focusing on mankind’s need for salvation. How to become saved by faith in God, and the blessings that come with salvation. In this episode we talk about how undeservedly, God justifies the saved, and what that means. God’s grace, His undeserved mercy and forgiveness allows the believer to be in right standing with God. The...

Are you born again, know that Jesus came to offer you the choice of redemption, but not actually know what happened to cause the need for redemption in the first place? This week we continue the mini-series on how a single lack of judgment and obedience by Adam and Eve caused man and earth to fall together. That the undeserving love of God and the offer of redemption came by way of God sending His...

What happened to cause God the Father to send His Son in the first place? What happened in the Garden of Eden which caused man to trigger a perilous countdown to a spiritual death of eternal consequences? How did the evil nature of the devil and all forms of sickness, sin and death he is associated with, enter in at the time of the Garden? How did this virus of sin and sickness infect the entire h...

Continuation of the distinction between being a fan and a follower of Jesus Christ. Discovering the need for instructions - the Truth which is the scriptures of the Word of God. Only then do we learn more about mankind’s desperate need for a Savior and a Lord when asking the question ‘Why should I follow Jesus?’ This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC)...

Catrice begins to explore the distinction between being a fan and a follower of Christ Jesus. The critical importance it is for all believers to examine themselves frequently to ensure they are true followers of Christ, rather than being only a fan of Jesus, spectating from the side with a ‘Christian’ label, falsely believing they are ‘meeting all the requirements’. This program covers the followi...
