救いの祈り
父よ、ヤハウェ、私はあなたの息子ヤハシュアが串刺しのポストで成し遂げられた働きを告白し、認めます。神は私たちと同じように私たちのために死んでくださいました。それは、私たちが神の中にあるあなたのすべてになるためです。最初の人アダムの SIN 問題と分離の幻想は、最後の人アダムによって何度も取り上げられてきました。私/私たちは、主、救い主、王としてのあなたの主権を告白し、認めます。そして私/私たちは、ヤハウェがあなたを死者の中からよみがえらせたと心から信じています。かつては不法行為と罪によって死んでいましたが、今は生かされ、復活し、現在はメシア・ヤハシュアの天の場所に座っております。私たちは心で義を信じ、口で救いを告白しました。そうです!
新たに生まれることには、救いの完全な確信が含まれるだけでなく、王国と今から永遠に生きるという現実を見たり入ったりすることも含まれます。もしあなたがヤハウェがあなたのために備えてくださっているすべてのものを望むのであれば、次の祈りを聖霊の中に、聖霊によって、聖霊によって満たされる(バプテスマを受ける)ように祈ってください。
父よ、私たちはあなたの独り子の死、埋葬、復活を通して私たちに与えられた完全で包括的な救いの計画に対してあなたに感謝します。 (ヤハシュア)あなたは私たちのために私たちと同じように死んでくれました、それは私たちがあなたのすべてになることができるようにするためです。御父の約束を送り返して、私たちが天国と同じように地上に来るあなたの王国の現実について、大胆で効果的な証人になれるようにしてくださるという約束を守ってくださってありがとうございます。そうです!
聖霊があなたに発語を与えるように、異言で話すという証拠を持って聖霊を受けてください。アーメン!

Η ΠΡΟΣΕΥΧΉ ΤΗΣ ΣΩΤΗΡΊΑΣ
Πατέρα, Γιαχβέ, εγώ/εμείς ομολογώ και αναγνωρίζω το τελειωμένο έργο του Υιού Σου Γιαχσούα στον πασσαλόξυλο. ΑΥΤΟΣ πέθανε σαν εμάς για εμάς, ώστε να γίνουμε όλα όσα ΕΣΥ είσαι μέσα σ' Αυτόν. Το θέμα της ΑΜΑΡΤΙΑΣ του πρώτου ανθρώπου Αδάμ και της ψευδαίσθησης του διαχωρισμού, έχει αντιμετωπιστεί μια για πάντα από τον τελευταίο άνθρωπο Αδάμ. Ομολογώ/Ομολογούμε και αναγνωρίζουμε την Κυριαρχία Σου ως Κυρίου, Σωτήρα και Βασιλιά, και πιστεύω/πιστεύουμε πραγματικά ότι ο YAHWEH ΣΑΣ ανέστησε από τους νεκρούς. Εμείς που κάποτε ήμασταν νεκροί στις παραβάσεις και την αμαρτία, έχουμε τώρα γίνει ΖΩΝΤΑΝΟΙ, ΑΝΑΓΕΝΝΗΘΗΚΑΜΕ, και επί του παρόντος ΚΑΘΙΣΤΕΥΟΥΜΕ σε Ουράνιους τόπους στον Μεσσία Γιαχσούα. Με την καρδιά μας πιστεύουμε στη δικαιοσύνη και με το στόμα μας ομολογούμε στη σωτηρία. Έτσι είναι!
Η αναγέννηση δεν περιλαμβάνει μόνο την πλήρη διαβεβαίωση της σωτηρίας, αλλά περιλαμβάνει επίσης τη θέαση και την είσοδο στη Βασιλεία και την πραγματικότητα του να ζούμε για πάντα ξεκινώντας από τώρα. Αν θέλετε όλα όσα έχει ο Γιαχβέ για σας, παρακαλώ προσευχηθείτε στην ακόλουθη προσευχή για να γεμίσετε (βαπτιστείτε) μέσα, από και με το Άγιο Πνεύμα.
Πατέρα, (Γιαχβέ) σε ευχαριστούμε για το πλήρες και ολοκληρωμένο σχέδιο σωτηρίας που έγινε διαθέσιμο σε εμάς μέσω του θανάτου, της ταφής και της ανάστασης του μονογενή σου γιου (Γιαχσούα). πέθανες ως εμείς για εμάς, ώστε να μπορέσουμε να γίνουμε όλα όσα είσαι. Σ' ευχαριστούμε που τήρησες την υπόσχεσή Σου να στείλεις πίσω την υπόσχεση του Πατέρα για να μας ενδυναμώσεις να γίνουμε τολμηροί, αποτελεσματικοί μάρτυρες της πραγματικότητας της Βασιλείας Σου που έρχεται στη Γη, όπως είναι στον Ουρανό. Έτσι είναι!
Λάβετε το Άγιο Πνεύμα με την απόδειξη της γλωσσολαλιάς, καθώς το Πνεύμα σας δίνει λόγο. Αμήν!

THE-ETERNAL-WORD-AND-PURPOSE-PT-TWO
THE-ETERNAL-WORD-AND-PURPOSE-PT-TWO
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it. He came to what was His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children (sons) of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-5, 11-14 LSB
[Yahshua was the pattern SON in that HE was the firstborn among many brethren. He was the person of Yahweh come in the flesh, and He came to remind us of who we were foreordained to become].
About which, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, (Messiah) which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit: that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power. To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the good news of the unfathomable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for all what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church (Ekklesia) to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him. Ephesians 3:4-12 LSB
He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a love of the brothers without hypocrisy, fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter 1:20-23 LSB
[The Eternal WORD appeared in the last days in order to reveal His Eternal Purpose to those who believe and have been born again of incorruptible seed which lives and abides forever].
In the beginning the Living Expression was already there. And the Living Expression was with God, yet fully God. They were together—face-to-face, in the very beginning. And through his creative inspiration this Living Expression made all things, for nothing has existence apart from him! A fountain of life was in him, for his life is light for all humanity.
And this Light never fails to shine through darkness— Light that darkness could not overcome! He came to the people he created — to those who should have received him, but they did not recognize him. But those who embraced him and took hold of his name he gave authority to become the children of God! He was not born by the joining of human parents or from natural means, or by a man’s desire, but he was born of God. And so the Living Expression became a man and lived among us! We gazed upon his glory, the glory of the One and Only who came from the Father overflowing with tender mercy and truth! John 1:1-5, 11-14 TPT
[If you can hear it, we are NOW a part of the living expression of the ETERNAL WORD that is making known the manifold wisdom ofYahweh's ETERNAL PURPOSE to the historically entrenched prince devils and master spirits of our KINGDOM JURISDICTIONS].
[The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere. This is in accordance with the terms of the eternal and timeless purpose which He has realized and carried into effect in [the person of] Christ Jesus our Lord, In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have the boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear). Ephesians 3:10-12 AMPC

WATERSHED & BENCHMARK MOMENTS
These are watershed and benchmark moments in both the Ekklesia and Kingdom. The question is, will we continue to foster and support what we know is not working that well, or will we leave the security of safe harbors in order to navigate uncharted waters?
Watershed - An event marking a unique or important historical change of course or one on which important developments depend.
Benchmark - Something that serves as a standard by which others may be measured or judged.
I am reminded of a stanza in an old song. "Tho none go with me; I still will follow." (I Have Decided)
The following questions and subsequent answers are based on my present understanding of some of the things that continue to hinder and thwart our forward process in coming together for His greater Kingdom purpose.
Question: What is it going to take for us to move from a doing church as usual mentality to a Kingdom understanding of true Ekklesia?
A: It is going to take a serious paradigm shift and it will start with changing the way we think and view things concerning the house that Yahshua is building.
Doing Church Mentality is more about gathering together at an appointed time and place in order to engage in the semblance of corporate worship.
(Worship Team, Prepared Sermon and Theatrics provided)
In other words, come as you are and enjoy the show.
For many, doing or having Church is like going out to your favorite restaurant with friends or being rushed to the hospital where emergency care can be administered.
The emphasis is on a place to go, have, and do, rather than a people to BE at all times.
Things to Consider:
Being a 'pastor' at the local level is not a job for ambitious novices. It is only for those who are especially gifted and graced to provide long-term care, along with the support of a plurality of servant-leaders who are properly related to true apostles and prophets.
A true plurality of servant-leaders in every locale and region around the world will look very different than the top-down, senior, set-minister/pastor setup that we presently see established in most church ministries, and it will not just be another variation of an Ecclesiastical Hierarchy.
A true plurality of servant-leaders involves both shared responsibility and authority. I am NOT implying co-equality in all things that pertain to the ongoing work; but I am suggesting that if we are to serve His people together, we must be more than a team of YES men and women. I am NOT talking about paid or unpaid staff members who make up the administrative/management team of the organization.
I am talking about sons, brothers and friends who are joined at the heart by Holy Spirit in the ongoing work of the ministry.
Pastors (Shepherds) are only one-fifth of those who have been sent to train and equip His people. There is a way to rectify this problem and make up for that which is lacking, wanting, and coming behind, but it is going to involve true repentance and a heart to do what is necessary to bring about real change.
The primary difference between a 'doing church' mentality and a 'Kingdom understanding of Ekklesia is, one revolves around gathering together at a particular time and place, and the other involves the call to assemble and cooperate with what Holy Spirit is saying and doing today. One is all about meeting my personal needs, and the other is about ruling and reigning in life by Messiah Yahshua. One caters to the needs of an orphaned mentality, and the other represents the heritage of sons.
A Kingdom understanding of Ekklesia is all about ordained, covenantal, relationship, marriage, and family. If our gathering together unto Him was more like a family reunion, then everyone would have a seat at the table in the Father’s house and they would be there to honor the head of the household.
Remember this, what we bring to the table is for someone else. It is not about how it makes us feel to contribute. When we move from being involved as a spectator to being included as a part, we will all begin to experience a deep sense of belonging.
Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers;
(WE are a part of the company of the firstborn, the generation of Messiah, and the last man Adam, who is a life-giving Spirit to those who bear the image of the Heavenly).

TRUE-KINGDOM-CULTURE
Culture: A set of learned values, beliefs, customs, and practices that are shared by a group and are passed from one generation to another.
Question: What does Kingdom Culture / Ekklesia look like?
Kingdom Worldview and Culture: We are a very diverse group of people from different backgrounds and walks of life. If diversity is the spice of life, then we must be willing to develop an appetite for those who represent more exotic flavors and tastes than ourselves.
'Kingdom Culture / Ekklesia' is a Spirit-led, biblically based family of Yahweh, embracing every nation, tribe, people, and language, committed to worshiping and living out Kingdom values in community together.
We must begin to understand that if we are ever going to become one new man in Him, we have to identify with one another in Messiah, and become a part of His 'Kingdom Culture.'
Kingdom Culture is Influenced by a Kingdom World View...
"Kingdom culture is more a family structure, and Ekklesia is community of believers in which all have all things in common." ~ Andre Johnson
Kingdom Culture/ Ekklesia is strongly influenced and deeply impacted by the five ordained ministry gifts of Yahshua, which include seven supportive ministry anointings. These allotments of grace are integral parts of the ongoing work of true apostolic ministry at both the local and regional levels.
Until we understand that the twelvefold ministry gifts of Yahshua are also a part of the body that is being adjusted and aligned, we will continue to make them special appendages who serve our every need.
The twelvefold ministry gifts of Yahshua are sons and elder brothers who have come to a better understanding of the way of the Father's heart by Holy Spirit.
They are not entitled positions mostly based on the aspiration of assumption.
The sons of the Kingdom are resonating on a different frequency than the world of religion around them, and the sound that is emanating forth from them is the language of the SON and the SPIRIT.
"Kingdom culture is independent living in the fullness of Christ as sons or daughters. I call this flow state. Ekklesia is flow state with kingdom relationships harmonizing." ~ Shawn Dykes
Ordained, Covenantal, Relationship, Marriage and Family are the same in the Spirit, and it is the only kind of relationship that has the ability to reproduce after a Yahweh kind. Since ordained covenantal relationship, marriage and family are the only way to reproduce after a Yahweh kind, what about the way we relate needs to change?
"If our gathering together unto Him is about fulfilling some religious need, then life will keep us lacking, wanting and coming behind."
{“The doctrines and traditions of man” declare that - If you are born-again and going “to church”, that IS Kingdom Culture. True Kingdom culture lives in direct relationship with, and under the reign of, Jesus Christ as Lord and King - the resurrected Messiah. One Body. One King. One Heart. Doesn’t mean we are perfect. But we are obedient to the King (Holy Spirit, God, Jesus Christ). Counterfeit “kingdom culture” is all about the “outward appearances” but neglects the heart. “The doctrines and traditions of man” declare that - If you are born-again and going “to church”, that IS Kingdom Culture. ~ David Smith
{"Relationship, Relationship, Relationship!" Matthew 7:23 Jesus addresses the importance of first knowing Him. Relationship is NOT to be taken lightly. In fact, He says there will be many that will not make it into His Kingdom and why…He never knew them, He never had a relationship with Him. He says they’re workers of iniquity. Their heart is not surrendered fully to Him. They’re still doing things of the flesh that they want to do.
If we are truly connected, surrendered and in relationship with Him then we’ll want to do what we see and hear Him doing. That will translate into relationships with our family in The Kingdom of God} ~ Jeff Anderson
Balance cannot be achieved until that which is being over-emphasized is challenged by that which is being under-emphasized.
TRUTH is TRUTH before and after we adjust our present position based on further enlightenment.

THE ETERNAL WORD AND PURPOSE
His Eternal WORD and PURPOSE is lived in the ETERNAL NOW!
Forever, O Yahweh, Your word stands firm in heaven. Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation; You established the earth, and it stands. Psalms 119:89-90 LSB
Forever - hb wd - Transliteration: ‛ôlâm ‛ôlâm
Pronunciation: {o-lawm'} o-lawm'
Definition: From H5956; properly {concealed} that {is} the vanishing point; generally time out of mind (past or {future}) that {is} (practically) eternity; prefix) always : - always ({-s}) ancient ({time}) any {more} {continuance} {eternal} ({for} [n-]) ever ({-lasting} {-more} of {old}) {lasting} long ({time}) (of) old ({time}) {perpetual} at any {time} (beginning of the) world (+ without end).
Question: How long is forever? A: Eternal, Everlasting, Time Without End...
[That is how long the WORD has stood, and there has never been a time that He was not faithful].
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. Matthew 24:34-35 LSB
Question: Who was speaking and to whom was He speaking?
[All of the things to which Yahshua was speaking took place in the generation to whom He was speaking, and even if Heaven and Earth were to pass away, He said, My WORD will not].
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it. He came to what was His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children (sons) of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-5, 11-14 LSB
[Yahshua was the pattern SON in that HE was the firstborn among many brethren. He was the person of Yahweh come in the flesh, and He came to remind us of who we were foreordained to become].
About which, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, (Messiah) which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit: that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

HEALING-AND-DELIVERANCE
HEALING & DELIVERANCE -The Children's Bread
Healing and Deliverance are two-thirds of the full comprehensive plan of salvation; but many of His sons apparently have NOT considered that part of the Everlasting Covenant of the Kingdom.
I have found myself growing increasingly burdened over the past few years because of the number of people that I have personally known, who have been taken from us suddenly, and in some cases, prematurely.
I do not remember a time in the past fifty-three years of ministry when so many people have gone on to their reward in such a short period of time.
For me, it is NOT about just living longer or looking and feeling young again. Honestly, it is about fulfilling the practical will and purpose of Yahweh for my life, leaving it all on the field, and finishing strong.
I have been praying into this issue for some time now, and I believe that I have received in part the answer.
The problem revolves around failing to properly discern the body of Messiah, and refusal to fully embrace the Father's heart concerning our ONENESS.
For in the first place, when you assemble as a congregation, I hear that there are cliques (divisions and factions) among you; and I in part believe it, For doubtless there have to be factions or parties among you in order that they who are genuine and of approved fitness may become evident and plainly recognized among you. So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy [of Him] will be guilty of [profaning and sinning against] the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man [thoroughly] examine himself, and [only when he has done] so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discriminating and recognizing with due appreciation that [it is Christ's] body, eats and drinks a sentence (a verdict of judgment) upon himself. That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason many of you are weak and sickly, and quite enough of you have fallen into the sleep of death. For if we searchingly examined ourselves [detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition], we should not be judged and penalty decreed [by the divine judgment]. 1 Corinthians 11:18-19, 27-31 AMPC
Loving one another as Yahshua loved us and laying down our lives for others is a big part of the answer. Ref Jn. 13:34-35 & Jn. 15:12-13
Love, compassion, and obedience carry a yoke breaking anointing that effectively releases healing and deliverance to His people.
HEALING & DELIVERANCE are the Children's Bread...

THE-ACTS-20-20-VISION-PT-2
THE ACTS 20/20 VISION - PT-2
"Concerning where we are on the stage of life, some people believe this is opening night. Many believe this is the grand finale. Far too many believe it is the final curtain and far too few are calling for an encore. It is essential for all of us to hold the line, stay the course and finish strong."
The lense of Religion causes us to see ourselves and others through a less than pure filter.
The full embrace of the Father's love and forgiveness helps us to love and forgive others and ourselves as we have been loved and forgiven.
It takes a better understanding of the mercy and grace of Yahweh for us to be able to move forward with a clear conscience, having forgiven ourselves and others of every manner of sin.
Are we clear, or is there something still impeding our forward movement?
Question:
Holy Spirit, is there anything keeping me/us from being totally free?
Yes or No?
What was the first thing that came to your mind?
Father, thank you for forgiveness. Grant us the grace to repent and change in the ways we are both unable or unwilling to change.
Father, continue to work in us until we are fully able and willing to love one another as You loved us.
He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—he deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto his cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation. Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his! Colossians 2:14-15 TPT
Live long, love deeply & finish strong.
The seven stages of Life - (birth, childhood, adolescence, youth, mid-life, senescence & dotage)
THE-GREATEST-STORY-EVER-TOLD
DID YOU KNOW?
That you were born with a purpose for your life?
1). Where are we from? (Speaks of Origin)
We came into being according to the divine will and purpose of Yahweh at the beginning of creation.
The Lord God (Yahweh Elohim) fashioned man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (Soul) The Lord God (Yahweh Elohim) took the man and placed him in the orchard (Garden) in Eden to care for it and to maintain it. Genesis 2:7, 15 NET
2). Who are we? (Speaks of Identity)
We are spiritual beings. We are a spirit, we have a soul, and we live in a body.
Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, (righteousness without) after our likeness, (righteousness within) so they may rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move on the earth.” God created humankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:26-28NET
After some time, something happened that caused man to lose his way. Suffering from spiritual amnesia the first-man Adam forgot who he was created to be, and stumbled around in darkness (the illusion of separation) until Yahshua (the last-man Adam) came to set the record straight, and fully restore all that was lost with the fall of man.
Did you know that Yahweh has a plan for your life.
His plan for your life includes dominion, and that according to His original intent.
THE PRAYER OF SALVATION
Father, Yahweh I / WE confess and acknowledge the finished work of Your Son Yahshua on the impaling post. HE died as us for us, so that we might become all that YOU are in Him. The SIN issue of the first-man Adam and the illusion of separation, has once and for all times, been addressed by the last-man Adam. I/WE confess and acknowledge your Sovereignty as LORD, Savior, and King, and I/WE truly believe that YAHWEH raised YOU from the dead. We who were once dead in trespasses and sin, have now been made ALIVE, RAISED, and presently SEATED in Heavenly places in Messiah Yahshua. With our heart we believe unto righteousness and with our mouth we confessed unto salvation. So it is!
Being born again not only includes the full assurance of salvation, but it also involves seeing and entering the Kingdom and the reality of living forever starting now. If you want everything that Yahweh has for you, please pray the following prayer to be filled (baptized) in, of and by Holy Spirit.
Father, (Yahweh) we thank You for the full comprehensive plan of salvation that was made available to us through the death, burial, and resurrection of Your only begotten son. (Yahshua) You died as us for us, so that we could become all that you are. Thank You for keeping your promise to send back the promise of the Father to empower us to become bold, effective witnesses to the reality of Your Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven. So it is!
Receive Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives you utterance. Amen!
If you prayed this prayer and are ready to take the next step, please contact us and share your testimony.
We have a number of free resources available upon request. Blessings!

BECOMING A BOLD EFFECTIVE WITNESS PT 3
BECOMING A BOLD EFFECTIVE WITNESS PT 3
Salvation is simply acknowledging, and receiving, what God achieved, through the resurrection, of Jesus Christ, from the dead - the gift of life. But, with UNDERSTANDING of what that means, and WHY Jesus was obedient, to go to the cross, comes an understanding that depth of RELATIONSHIP, for all of eternity, is truly the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel. God desires relationship. That doesn’t come through a church. It comes through relationship! With HIM and with ONE another. We love the one in front of us… because HE does. Our love is our witness. ~ by David Smith
Concerning the Prayer of Salvation
“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Jesus (Yahshua) said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
Jesus (Yahshua) said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."
Praying and obeying is the way forward. Allow Holy Spirit to order your steps and lead you to your next divine appointment.
Be sure and let them know how much the Father loves them, and be willing to sacrifice the time necessary to lead them by the hand to the door and table that is open and set before them in the Father’s house.
How to lead people to salvation, the Kingdom and Eternal life.
Nicodemus came to Yahshua by night and said, we know that you come from GOD, for no one can do the signs (attesting miracles) you do unless GOD is with them. Ref. John 3:1-2 LSB
Jesus (Yahshua) answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot SEE the kingdom of God." v. 3
Nicodemus asked, how can an old man enter back into his mother's womb. Ref. John 3:4 LSB
Jesus (Yahshua) answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of WATER and the SPIRIT he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Yahweh) Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ v.5
Note: Some teach that Yahshua was suggesting that you must be baptized in water and the Spirit in order to be born again.
This passage of Scripture is talking about being twice born, or born of a woman (natural birth) and born of Holy Spirit. (spiritual rebirth)
Then there are those who have suggested that being born of the water could imply being born of the WORD and that by HOLY SPIRIT.
so that whoever believes will in HIM have eternal life. v.15
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. v.16
You / We are included in the whoever of this generation who have and are believing unto salvation, seeing, and entering the Kingdom, and experiencing Eternal Life.
The Scripture teaches that if you / we confess or acknowledge the Sovereignty or Lordship of Yahshua with our mouth, and truly believe in our heart that Yahweh raised Him from the dead, that we are in reality saved. Ref. Romans 10: 9-10 & 13
that if you confess with your mouth Jesus (Yahshua) as Lord, and believe in your heart that God (Yahweh) raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, leading to righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, leading to salvation. v.9-10
for “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” v.13 LSB
The Scripture also confirms what Yahshua and the apostles of the Lamb taught that is speaks to the importance of repenting and being baptized in the name of Yahshua and being filled with Holy Spirit.
Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ (Yahshua Messiah) for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."Acts 2:38-39 NKJV

REAL-AND-LIVING-RELATIONSHIP
REAL & LIVING RELATIONSHIP
"Real & living relationship is a two-way street that is teeming with life and mutual benefit"
One of the things that I have noticed over the past five-plus decades of ministry is that spiritual leaders seldom (if ever) relate beyond their immediate spheres of influence. Many of them only relate closely with people who are looking to them for leadership or oversight.
That in itself should be cause for concern!
We ALL need peer-to-peer relationships in our lives that are ordained and covenantal in nature. That in itself can be challenging at times, but it is absolutely essential in helping us remain balanced and grounded in the Faith.
We ALL have blind spots, and we need to have loving brothers and caring friends who have our backs. They should be willing and able to ask questions and openly discuss potential mindsets that could hinder our walk and limit our effectiveness.
Subordinates and followers more than likely will NOT be willing and able to challenge us with things that need to be prayerfully considered or changed.
"Ordained covenantal relationship is birthed by the Spirit, developed by grace and established by love."
This kind of relationship is proven over time, and that can be another way of justifying never getting started.
Most of the spiritual leaders I know, have experienced the worst that the religion of Christianity and the system has to offer, and after many failed attempts to connect with other local elders and regional leaders, they have decided to limit their pursuit to followers and supporters. :(
True sons of the Kingdom understand that they are a part of the body of Messiah, and while we have been graced and gifted as equippers in the ongoing work of true apostolic ministry, we must never allow ourselves to become alienated and isolated from one another in Him.
Our primary responsibility is to the King and His interests, concerning the house that Yahshua is building, which is His Father’s house.
Simply put, we are not islands unto ourselves, and none of us should live or die to ourselves.
"We will never become all that we are foreordained to BE apart from one another in Him"
We all need to find points of agreement with other spiritual leaders within our spheres of influence and form alliances with trusted allies in the days ahead.
It is NOT about building a following, networking, or establishing another denomination or Ecclesiastical Hierarchy.
It is about responding to the call to assemble and advancing the Kingdom through the power of agreement, alignment, and alliance.
It is about representing a more suitable administration and arriving at a better conclusion concerning the consummation of all things in Him. Selah!
THE KINGDOM EQUATION
Agreement + Alignment + Alliance = Advancement
(A more suitable administration)
Let the inner movement of your heart always be to love one another, and never play the role of an actor wearing a mask. Despise evil and embrace everything that is good and virtuous. Be devoted to tenderly loving your fellow believers as members of one family. Try to outdo yourselves in respect and honor of one another. Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him. Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times. Take a constant interest in the needs of God’s beloved people and respond by helping them. And eagerly welcome people as guests into your home. Speak blessing, not cursing, over those who reject and persecute you. Celebrate with those who celebrate, and weep with those who grieve. Live happily together in a spirit of harmony, and be as mindful of another’s worth as you are your own. Don’t live with a lofty mind-set, thinking you are too important to serve others, but be willing to do menial tasks and identify with those who are humble-minded. Don’t be smug or even think for a moment that you know it all. Never hold a grudge or try to get even, but plan your life around the noblest way to benefit others. Do your best to live as everybody’s friend.
Beloved, don’t be obsessed with taking revenge, but leave that to God’s righteous justice. For the Scriptures say: “If you don’t take justice in your own hands, I will release justice for you,” says the Lord. And: If your enemy is hungry, buy him lunch! Win him over with kindness. For your surprising generosity will awaken his conscience, and God will reward you with favor. Never let evil defeat you, but defeat evil with good. Romans 12:9-21 TPT

BECOMING A BOLD EFFECTIVE WITNESS PT 2
The preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom involves an understanding that the Day of Pentecost marked the beginning of the end of an era that was set in motion with His arrival, that continued through His return on the Day of Pentecost and realized in seventy A.D. with the destruction of the temple. Seventy A.D. marked the end of the administration of Judaism, and the governance of the Mosaic economy.
We are NOW operating under a NEW CREATION administration called Kingdom/Ekklesia order and government.
Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal (everlasting) covenant, our Lord Jesus, equip you in every good thing to do His will, by doing in us what is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21 LSB
What does it mean to be a bold, effective witness?
It starts with being a lover of people, and being willing to pray for the people within our respective spheres of influence. That should not be limited to those presently within our reach, and our prayers should include our cities, counties, states, and nations.
The first century Ekklesia was born in a less than favorable environment. The truth be known, it was extremely hostile and antithetical to the Kingdom. The thought that it could cost them their life in order to share their story with others, was never far from their minds.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls. Proverbs 11:30 LSB
“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him. John 3:16-18 MSG
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 LSB
Fulfilling the Great Commission is an apostolic assignment, but it is not limited to those who were and are being sent to other nations as missionaries.
We must NOT assume that just because someone was born and raised in the religion of Christianity, that they fully comprehend what being born again or seeing and entering the Kingdom affords.
My brothers, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. James 5:19-20 LSB
Question: What is and is NOT working in the reality?
I think that it would be safe to say that what may have once worked well in preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, is not working that well today.That being said, there is no one technique or strategy that will be effective every time. We must be willing to adjust our approach at anytime, as Holy Spirit directs.
The following approaches will NOT work most of the time.
Reminding people of how desperately wicked and inherently lost they are will not help them find their way home.The people of our worlds need to know how much the Father truly loves them, and they need to fully understand that He has a plan and purpose for their lives.
They will need help in answering the first two of five big questions of man, as they begin to discover the purpose for which they were born.
1). Where did I come from? (Origin)
Yahweh created man in His own likeness and image.
(Likeness = Righteousness without - Image = Righteousness within)
2). Who am I? (Identity)
We are a spirit - (spiritual beings) comprised of spirit = lifeforce - soul = mind, will & emotions & body = physical, living being
I often wonder how many believers in this generation who have never been instrumental in leading someone to the saving knowledge of the truth.
Question: What about your understanding has changed concerning the simple prayer of salvation?
Question: Where is what is known as the sinner’s prayer found in the Scripture?
