A Force Stronger Than Death

Love is as strong as death, but your will is stronger than love. When your will is set to do the will of the Father, you are plugged into the power of Christ’s resurrection life, and that power is stronger than death. We mix our love with our will that is set to do God’s will. (28:44)

Now We Are Children Of God
September 29, 2007 Saturday 5:30 PM North Hills, CA

In this Word, we liberated ourselves from the greatest illusion about our Father. We do not have to be perfect to be in God’s presence — we are already good in the Father’s sight. Once our sin nature is taken away in the Atonement experience, then God dwells among us and delights in perfecting us by His provision. Today, we see ourselves as we are, the beloved children of God.

Most timely is this message for us as we anticipate the fulfillment of promises and the possession of all God has set before US. Here is the Joshua 5 story of a Passover for a people with hearts circumcised. Everything was changing in the transition from wilderness land to Beulah land. Then a new revelation of the “general” of the army was expedient. The first message, from the Valley, is probably more complete but the second version from Anaheim is included because of the vein of humor and different approach to the same basic word. Indeed, you will enjoy listening to both. This word may be emphasized and amplified in the immediate days ahead.

“AS IF YOU WERE LIVING IN THE WORLD”–COLOSSIANS 2:20

It is a natural human tendency to be religious and to equate human discipline with true righteousness. It is human to think that changes in our habits and life-style are a true change of our spirit. This is not true. This message is basic to establish this truth. True change comes to us by the grace of God and with our acceptance of what His grace does to us.
