Good day. Today's video They Knew is on the topic of: They knew who Jesus of Nazareth was, the Christ, the Son of God; that is the devils knew, and they trembled (Luke 4:40-41, Mark 1:21-25, Mark 3:11-12, Matthew 8:28-29). Yet the religious leaders of that time (the chief priest, scribes, and pharisees) denied that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, the Son of God and they crucified the Lord of glory for envy. They were more concerned about the day of the week on which the Lord healed the people (the blind, the sick, the lame, those bound up by unclean spirit(s)) being the sabbath, the outward circumstances, that they could not see who was right in front of them. They were more concerned about keeping their place of power or prominence with the people and with the Romans (John 11:48), that they feared, and then they instilled fear into the people that if they confessed that Jesus was the Christ that they would put them out of the synagogue (John 9:22). They even asked him directly if he was the Christ, and he answered "I am", but they closed their ears to the truth that was in Jesus, and said the he was a blasphemer of God, because he did not fit into their idea or thoughts of who the Messiah should be, or where he came from, or what his birth circumstances were in their carnal judgement. These were the spiritual leaders of that time, and they did not know, their heart was hardened, and they chose not to see, because they were blinded by envy (Matthew 27:18, Mark 15:10). Today the same thing is happening in the Church; many are crucifying the Son of God afresh, denying Christ, with the traditions and doctrines of men, and many for filthy lucre (money) sake, for the accolades of men, or for being ignorant of the truth that is in Jesus. Many are taught and know Jesus the man; many are taught and say that Jesus was God which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit because of unbelief that God sent his Son, Christ, in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Many don't know Christ the Son of God who was in Jesus, and who is also in you (Colossians 1:27). The Lord said, "whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:33). You can't blame men for your ignorance of the Son of God when you stand before the Lord, because you are to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, not relying on someone else to do the work for you and you just show up once, maybe twice a week to hear their version of what the scriptures say; it is given unto you, personally, to know they mystery of the kingdom of God. Many should know but don't know Christ, because they are letting these someone else’s (men through books, TV, CD's, etc.) teach them, when they should be allowing the Holy Spirit to lead them into all truth as they study the scriptures (the Bible). 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (KJV) Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God; all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him; and the mystery of the gospel is Christ in you the hope of glory: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. They knew, we know having been taught by the Holy Spirit and led into all truth, do you know? We pray that you too will rightly divide the word of truth, rightly divide what you hear from others by going to our Father (God) seeking his wisdom and understanding by the Holy Spirit and come to the knowledge of the truth that is in Jesus. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Hearts and Minds is on the topic of: Keep (guard) your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). What is allowed to enter into our hearts is what will be renewing our minds. What a man thinks in his heart so is he. What are you renewing your mind with, what occupies your heart most? We are encouraged to be ye renewed in the spirit of our mind. We have been given a new heart, a new hope which makes us not ashamed, because the love of God (Christ in us the hope of glory) is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us. It is the Holy Spirit that will lead and guide you into all truth, replacing the lies that have occupied your mind for so long; for it is the truth that shall make you free from the law of sin and death which you were once imprisoned in, serving the lusts of the flesh (old nature) with your heart and mind. We are a new creation in Christ, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. So now... Philippians 2:5-6 Let (interest yourself in, exercise the mind, set the affection on, be of the same) this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal (in agreement) with God: (KJV) 1 Corinthians 2:14-16 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (KJV) Colossians 3:1-2 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection (interest yourself in, exercise the mind, set the affection on, be of the same) on things above, not on things on the earth. (KJV) 1 Peter 4:1-2 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. (KJV) The mind of Christ; arm yourselves likewise with the same mind. If we are operating in the fleshly (carnal) mind the Lord is unable to instruct us, for who hath known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? So, if we are operating in the mind of Christ the Lord is able to instruct us and we will know the mind of the Lord. A renewed mind that is instructed in the ways of God, not in the ways of sin. We have to be one with the Lord to be able to hear his instruction and understand; being in agreement with him, likeminded of one accord; we have the mind of Christ. It is given unto you to know. Are you renewing your mind on things above where the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep (guard) your heart and mind through Christ Jesus, or on the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering into the heart that chokes the word of God and it becomes unfruitful in the renewing of your mind in the thoughts and ways of God? What is occupying your heart that is renewing your mind the most? Read Romans 12:1-2 and 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Exceeding Expectations is on the topic of: The Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, is exceeding abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think; it is where grace abounds; where all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are revealed; where exceeding joy and abundant peace is; where there is health and safety spiritually and physically; where there is power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power (influence) of the enemy; where there is life and life more abundantly; where unto us is given exceeding great and precious promises; where all of the promises of God in Christ Jesus are yea and amen; where we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; where we have received the measure (fullness) of the gift of Christ; where we have been given an unction from the Holy One and we know all things; whereby we have been raised up together and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; where without measure all these and more is available to all those who believe, for the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man/woman to profit. Our life is hid with Christ in God, exceeding expectations. 2 Peter 1:1-4 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (KJV) Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. (KJV) God told Abraham "I am thy exceeding great reward" in Genesis 15:1. Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Do you believe God, that all of his promises in Christ Jesus are yea and amen and that he loves you and sent his Son to die for you that you might be made the righteousness of God in him, and a partaker of the divine nature? Without faith it is impossible to please God. Jude 24-25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (KJV) Beloved brethren, we encourage you to walk in the Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, and remain seated in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus who is seated at the right hand of God, where all things are possible to those who believe. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Nothing Left is on the topic of: Without the Spirit of Christ, there is nothing left. The carnal mind is enmity (hostile or a reason for opposition) against God; for it is not subject to the law of God (the law of faith), neither indeed can be. And when we lean back to our own understanding, we are no longer operating in the mind of Christ (being renewed in spirit of our mind), but in our carnal fleshly mind in which all things will come to nothing. They that are in the flesh (the plane of the lower nature) cannot please God or be in agreement with God and his Word. Remember, in our flesh (our lower nature) is no good thing, and it is good for nothing. All that is in the lower nature of man is vanity, vanity, all is vanity, all is for nothing because the eyes of man are never satisfied. Without Christ, being renewed in the spirit of our mind and led by the Spirit of God, we can do nothing, our labor is in vain. If we think ourselves to be something, when we are nothing, we deceive ourselves. Our sufficiency is of God and not of ourselves. When we abide in Christ, we lack nothing because his grace is sufficient for us; when we are weak, he is strong; and through Christ who strengthens us we can do all things, and nothing shall be impossible to those who believe. John 15:4-6 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (KJV) 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (KJV) 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (KJV) It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh profits nothing; the words that the Lord speaks unto us are spirit and life, and in them death is swallowed up in victory. By grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not of works, lest any man should boast. So, let us put away childish things, our old ways and thoughts, and move on to maturity in Christ, being led of the Spirit, where all things are possible and will not be for nothing. There is nothing left, nothing new under the sun according to the flesh; but there is abundant life in the Son, Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom old things are passed away, and all things are become new according to the Spirit. Put your hand to the plough of salvation and don't look back where there is nothing left. God bless and keep the faith. Romans 6:21-23 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
