Desensitization to the person of Christ: The Truth of the Gospel

2016 Jan 17rd Streaming

Greeting Everyone,
Its been a busy week for us as we prepare for our up coming trip to Ghana. We have had several great times of fellowship this past week on the message “Desensitization to the person of Christ: Thou shalt not steal.”  I’m amazed and a little disappointed at how many professing believers don’t really want the person of Christ.  They have no problem wanting to learn more about Jesus of Nazareth.  But the person of Christ as their only life.  Sounds strange and unimportant.  And sadly very few know or understand the difference between the two.  Please understand the process of desensitization makes everyone delusional to the Father’s purpose, intent, and plan concerning the person of Christ, His Son!  With that said today we will talk about “the truth of the gospel.”
 We ask you to continue to pray for us and with us for our trip and travel to Ghana in the coming weeks.  I ask the same prayer request as the apostle Paul, ” Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,” Eph 6:18-19.  Some would say because we have the Bible and can read there is “no” mystery.  Really? The fear of not being in control deceives too many of us! Paul again tells us in 1Cor 2: 7-14 that human sense knowledge is unable to know there is a mystery.  The things of God are available to all of His offspring just not to the mind of the flesh!  This is an integral part of “the truth of the gospel”.  Let’s talk about it!
Love In Christ,
David & Katherine

 

Desensitization to the Person of Christ and Racism

2016 Jan 10th Streaming

Greetings Beloved!
We are nine days into our new year of 2016! We trust not too many of you were sucked into the desensitization process of new years resolutions.  As Sons of God we are see-thru-ers and resolutions just don’t fit who we are in-Christ!  Only nine days in the new year and most people are living and existing in the illusion of their old man in the old year.  Remember the process of desensitization to the person of Christ is also the process of sensitization to the person you appear to be in the flesh.  We are bombarded with the illusion that our sex, gender, culture, biological birth, nationality and race is the person we really are.  Please know and understand that our sex (male or female), skin color, intellect, religious beliefs, organizational or/and institutional doctrines are really not issues anymore. None of it or you and me survived the cross! Because the vast majority of humankind have not come to know or understand this liberating truth we have become fearful, deceived, captive and are all out delusional in all of our thinking.  Think about it. God took care of race relations and nationality in Christ at the cross! So what’s the problem?  Simply. You know. Say it with me, desensitization to the person of Christ!  Let’s talk about in Sunday morning fellowship!
Love In Christ,

Desensitization to the Person of Christ: “Thou shall not Steal”

2016 Jan 3rd Streaming

https://youtu.be/DhKMaDM3_YM

As many of you might already know we had a devastating series of tornadoes here in north Texas last Saturday evening.  There were several fatalities, loss of homes, personal property and businesses.  With that comes many stories of God’s love, grace, mercy and comfort!  As the body of Christ, the Church which meets as In-Christ Ministries International has partnered with All Nations Fellowship to provide aid and assistance to those affected by the tornadoes. Support included funds for food, personal care items, and medication to name a few.  Katherine and I want to thank all of you who continue to pray for those who were affected by this tragic event and for us as well.  We also want to thank each of you who give in love to this body.  The In-Christ message continues to go forth.  We are scheduled to leave for Ghana in a few weeks.  Your gifts and prayers assist us with the Sunday morning broadcasts, mission trips and anything the Father sets before us! Thank you again!
The message this morning is on desensitization to the person of Christ and the eighth commandment “thou shall not steal.” The Father and I had a great time of fellowship this week (not that we don’t always have great fellowship). I had just finished reading an article on why companies need to tithe. When He begin open the eyes of my understanding. The company’s CEO was being interviewed by a Christian organization. He had some very interesting things to say about corporate tithing.  He did however interchange the words giving and tithing as meaning the same thing.  They are not the same.  God didn’t ask Israel to give the tithe but they were instructed and commanded to pay tithes.  And of course what happens when they didn’t pay.  We read in Malachi;
    ” Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.” Mal 3:8
I’ve heard this verse is used more times than you imagine.  I’ve heard if you don’t tithe you are “stealing from God”. That is a violation or breaking the 8th commandment, “thou shall not steal” is it not?  Of course it is. But, as much as it sounds like I’m talking about tithing I’m not.  It’s the law itself that’s makes many of steal for God.  Get your Bibles and let’s talk about it!
Love In Christ,
David & Katherine

 

 

Let’s Talk: 2015 and Beyond

Let’s Talk: 2015 and Beyond

2015 has come and is at the door of leaving. We know the strongest principle in God is that life comes out of death! What is 2015 leaving us? What has our Father taught us concerning Himself and us during this year? What has been real to us? What has been life to us? What has we lived spontaneously? Has 2015 been just another year we have lived through? Have we just existed day after day in the same flesh and blood body feeling the same, thinking the same, and living the same? What has God said to us or revealed to us that caused us to see new? I’m not talking about business. You know stuff that keeps you distracted so you don’t have to or can’t see outside the flesh! Living in the illusion of the Spirit of fear. With all the Father has revealed and said about the process of desensitization in 2015, are we any closer to understanding the power of its grip? Has the person of Christ become the only life you are to live? Is there still a disconnect between Christ in you and the Son of God as you? Well, this time for learning our new union and identity as new creation race Sons is almost past away. There will never be another day as today. So, as the writer of Hebrews says “Today when you hear the voice of the Lord hardened not your heart.” Don’t wait for 2016! Receive and exchange today!   Let’s not exist another minute or hour or day in the outer man. God forbid another year struggling to find and live differently or better. We are new! We should live new in the person of Christ. WARNING: Satan and his process of desensitization is waring against you. But as Paul tells us “if God be for us who can be against us.” Let’s talk!

 

 

 

 

The Transition from flesh to Spirit: Romans 7 to 8

2015 Dec 13th Streaming

https://youtu.be/VzyQQCvH50A

Greetings Everyone,

Well, here we are another week closer to Christmas! These next couple of weeks are going to get hectic! They always do. Don’t they? But soon we’ll be in a transition period. The week between Christmas and New Year. You know where almost everything slows down as we wait for New Year’s Eve. That brings me to our message this week, the “Transition from flesh to Spirit” or law to grace.

Paul gives us a look at who we are in Christ vs what we do in flesh! The transition from living in the flesh to Spirit identity. From law to grace. There is a wonderful transition between Romans 7 & 8. In these two chapters there are five words that reveal this marvelous transition. As we read Romans 7 Paul makes it clear in all 25 versus the issue is the law and sin with the flesh, mind and the Spirit coming in a distant 3, 4 and 5. But as we read Romans 8 Paul makes it clear in all 39 versus the issue is the Spirit and flesh with the law, sin and the mind coming in a distant 3, 4 and 5. Let’s take a closer look at these two chapters.Let’s talk about it.
Love in Christ,

The Gospel of Humpty Dumpty and Desensitization

2015 Dec 6th Streaming

https://youtu.be/T4k-DsNHRuw

The Father has provided the revelation of the mystery in the desensitization to the person of Christ and not Jesus of Nazarath. For more than a year now He has faithfully revealed and taught us about the process of desensitization. We have come to know this process flows from the spirit of fear. The spirit of fear provides an illusion. The illusion once received provides the deception that the illusion is real and true to us. As we continue in the deception it leads us into captivity.   Captivity is where we become fully controlled by the illusion of the spirit of fear. While in captivity we truly think, feel, and believe we are independent and free. Yet we solely under the control of another-the powerful authority of fear! Once caught and held in captivity we become delusional thinkers. Our delusional thinking is our “rational” thinking. The truth that is in the person of Christ is unbelievable. Sadly we are convinced that what we are thinking, feeling and believing is all there is to see and know. And no one can convince us otherwise!

Most of the gospels we hear preached today flow out of the desensitization to the person of Christ. It has its foundation in fear and its illusion. Let me explain what I mean. A short time ago Katherine and I were riding in my truck and popular Christian song was playing on the radio. As I listen to the words I smiled and told Katherine “Do you hear the words to this song?” “Yes” she said. “What about them?” I said “it sounds like the gospel of Humpty Dumpty”. She said “Really? Why?”

For those who don’t know “Humpty Dumpty” is a nursery rhyme. Humpty Dumpty is depicted as an egg doing the one thing you don’t want an egg to do, fall. The rhyme goes like this.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

 

 

The body Mary gave the Son of God and the Life we now live in the flesh! Part 2

2015 Nov 29th Streaming

https://youtu.be/O4VnqGGj5PM

As we discussed in last weeks fellowship:  

Let’s take a close look at how the Son of God became the Son of man with a body of flesh and blood. But it was only for a season! These are just a few of the verses in which God, the Holy Spirit will show us why Jesus was given a unique body of sin but never had a sinning body!

The Prophesy

Who we are was decided before the foundation of the world. The bodies we would live in now and when we get to the Father’s house were also a part of that decision. We didn’t get to have a decision with our first body, but we do have a say in the next one! This is a God idea and extends back before the world was. It all has to do with a seed. Whose seed? Who comes forth? A simple DNA test can provide an answer to the question. If DNA testing were available in Jesus’ day, what would it have revealed about Him? What would just one drop of His blood would unfolded about His true blood line? Let’s do a DNA test on Jesus and see just what body He lived in for those 33 years. The blood line comes from the seed, the source of our DNA. What exactly does that mean?

– Biology tells us that every human being has 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 total. This is our biological, physiological, and psychological make up-our complete genetic profile or DNA. This defines our flesh & blood identity. The road map of who we are in the flesh!

– These 23 allow us to function and live out who we are as humans.

– There is one part of our cellular make up not in pairs; the male seed/sperm and female seed/ovum. This allows us to give or share our genetic history and identity.

– Each seed or ovum contains 23 chromosomes half of what is needed for human life.

– When they join in union we have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs, new human life.

– This process of conception was preordained for us to be fruitful and multiply.

– God used this same process Himself.

The Promise “Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house. And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took [it] from [him] that was before thee:” 1Chron1:10-13

So, what does all this have to do with us? Let’s press toward the mark!

Love in Christ!

The body Mary gave the Son of God and the Life we now live in the flesh!

Greeting Everyone,

Happy Thanksgiving! Many of us will be celebrating Thanksgiving this week. This will be the beginning of the holiday season Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year! Wow, this year has truly come and gone! 2015 has been a here today and gone tomorrow year. Our opportunity to learn to live Christ as the Sons of God for this year is coming to a rapid close. But with every remaining day our Father will continue to reveal who He is as our Father and who we are in Christ as His Sons! The last several weeks we have talked about our identity in Christ spiritually and not our identity in the outer man. As I meditated on this I was reminded of Jesus and the body Mary gave Him. You know the Son of God living in a body of sin but not having a sinning body. This is how He became the Son of Man! Let’s take a real close look at this simple and powerful truth to see where you and I fit into this mystery. We trust God, the Holy Spirit, our teacher will give to each of you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. That the eyes of your understanding maybe being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling which has purposed in Himself. The purpose which we now possess if Christ is in us. Our new identity is not flesh and blood. But we still live in this flesh and blood body of sin. Yet it does not have to be a sinning body. That is the difference with us being the Son of God or the son of man.  

Paul tells us in Phl 2:6-8-

“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”   

While the writer of Hebrews said 

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” Heb 2:14. So, let’s see what the Spirit is saying to us as Sons of a Father who has spared no cost! Those who have ears to hear let them hear what the Spirit is saying!  

Love in Christ!
