THE GREEN

Image
By
There are soldiers in the U.S. Army who make a decision to serve in a more profound way. They choose to join with the elite and go into Special Forces and try to win the Green Beret! There is no wining and dining on the army's part. It is no invitation to vacation. Instead, it's a twelve mile run followed by a mile swim with your uniform on, including boots. And that's day one! It's called TRAINING and prepares this elite group to accomplish missions under the toughest conditions, not unlike the kingdom life! We are in training to ready us for the wonderful glory coming. God doesn't thrive on tormenting His sons. He knows the big picture in ways we don't that pain prepares us for. Those that are successful through these painful situations are those God can trust for the glorious opportunities awaiting. He is making us ready for the glory of His Kingdom. Training that will show up as we go through the process and find ourselves ...IN HIM!!! Then the scripture Romans 8:18-19 comes alive in us. I consider the sufferings of the present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God...

    Fred, this is so true! John and I have been walking through this time of training and finally feel as though we are on the verge of crossing over into our Promised Land. We are finally moving from our church home for the last 6 years. (John has been on staff - maintenance). Beginning our 7th year here in Washington state this month, we are preparing to move to a house (we don't know where yet) and begin working with a pastor who embraces us as ministers Sept 1. This is Mary Trask, author of The 12 Gemstones of Revelation and Weapons of Peace.

Disposition of Messiah

By
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!

NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS

By Allan Pederson
IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, EVEN THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. COLOSSIANS 1:14... Did you know that the blood of a baby in the womb never comes in contact with the mother and that it is contributed by the male seed, not by the female egg? This was a divine plan of God when He designed men & women. God knew He would need to send a Savior into the world to redeem them!!! We all need a SAVIOR and only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us and make us white as snow!!! Redeem means to pay a price to ransom someone. Our redemption could only be bought with the perfect, pure blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus came from the Holy Spirit when He overshadowed Mary, therefore the blood of Jesus was completely pure. His blood was the only blood that could pay for our sins because it came directly from God and was never contaminated with sin. It was the perfect payment and sacrifice for our forgiveness!!!The blood of Christ is still cleansing and washing us today as much as it did two t...

COVENANT OF MULTIPLICATION

By
And I will make my covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly. Genesis 17:2... God made a number of covenants in the Old Testament and then concluded them all in Jesus Christ. The most well known of these covenants were with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and David. The verse above refers to the covenant made with Abraham. God promises He will multiply the blessings with the ones He is in covenant with. God multiplied Abraham, Issac and Jacob. He gave them the bounty and the Promised Land. He blessed those who blessed them and cursed those who cursed them. According to the history of the Bible and the testimony of the book of Jasher, the lineage of Abraham, Issac and Jacob were greatly feared among the nations because of the blessings of God that were on them. Our expectation and faith in what God will do for us is dependent upon knowing the promise of the covenant He has made with us. Galatians 3:14 states that the covenant blessing of Abraham is for us in the new cove...
