John 4:19 We love, because He first loved us.
Man can’t expect full return in his life unless he invest first. Jesus did it first. We are his return. Love first and you will get it all.
We want to thank everyone for coming out to the SOS meeting Friday night. It was fun! We were able to exercise some of the things that God has given us.
The following are a few notes from the meeting that you may want to have: Blessings!
1. Jesus came to mirror man’s true supernatural abilities that was given to him from the foundation of the earth.
2. By beholding Jesus, man is transformed, and the treasure that was placed in him starts to be revealed.
3. Mark 4:35-41 – Crossing Over to the other side.
4. When storms arise, it is only confirming that you are crossing over to another place in your life with God.
5. Man has subconsciously been taught by the spirit of this world to allow his or geographical, or spiritual surroundings and circumstances to govern his actions and spirit within. Causing him to respond as
6. Man’s true nature within, which is Christ, can govern his surrounding circumstances.
7. Most of the time, man will respond through the nature and foundation of the world’s kingdom “Fear” than through the foundation of the Kingdom of God. The Prince of Peace.
Example – Rom 14:17-18 – Its through the attitude of Heaven instead of hell.for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
8. Man has basically been taught that it is normal for the power of the air to rule our minds or attitudes.
Examples – Anger, accusation, unforgiveness, fear, worry, doubt, etc. All of the attitudes of the flesh.
Ex. When fear comes or sudden terror – Our spirits becomes one with it, then we become fearful or then panic. Man becomes what he beholds or entertains the most.
9. Mark 14:25-32 – Peter not only walked on God’s word, but when he believed and put works to God’s word, the word became flesh. For a moment, Peter was possessed by the word. For a moment Peter became like the Lord, and creation not only was supporting the Lord, but also had to support Peter. For he was transformed as a Lord as well. Peter became like Jesus.
Example – 2 Cor 3:18 – But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
10. God is more concern who we become than just what we do in life.
11. When Mary gave way to the Lord’s word it became flesh within. She then gave birth to what she believed- Jesus. We can too.
Remember – John 6:63- It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
When God speaks or ask you to do something, don’t let the old nature that just creates storms of fear and unbelief rule in your mind. Believe in the new nature that God has placed in you. For a while, don’t go by your feelings or fear, but by faith.
Man lives by encouragement and he slowly dies without it – angry, depressed, discouraged, etc. If man is condemning and accusing himself, he is also condemning God. For whatever we do to man or to ourselves we do to God. (Matt 25:40) Today, encourage yourself, for God is proud of you, for He made you through His inspirational thoughts and love. You came to His mind and He was overwhelmed with love, and created you for this day and age. Today, live, and cause someone to do the same:)Proverbs 18:21 Speak life over yourself and someone you come in contact with today.

Isaiah 35:3-4 Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted,”Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.”
There are days in the life of man where his walk on the road of life seems to become discouraging and weak, making his mind think as though He cannot make it any further without having God move supernaturally to strengthen his faith (knees). His carnal mind starts to say within, that if he was just supernaturally stirred, it would cause him to get up and to run the race of life in great power. This is the greatest lie that the enemy can use with man. Because, most of the time, God will not move. Not because He doesn’t want too or He is a bad God, but because Christ has already been given within to partner with man to walk a supernatural overcoming life. If God does move at times for man in this situation, it is only to jump start us to walk on our own with the power that He has given us already. Man has been given the supernatural ability to run the race and not grow weary. He has within himself God’s power to rise up, strengthen his feeble knees (faith) and run. Once man decides to believe that greater is He within himself than he that is in the world, he begins to wake up to the old ancient power called, “Christ in us,” running and never fainting within his mind. He then will become “The” movements of God on the earth as it is in heaven. This type of walk will cause God to come and manifest Himself. If man walks as God on the earth as He is in heaven, God will come, appear, and confirm Himself on the earth. He has too. As He did with Jesus, He will do with man as well.
Let’s not lay there and listen to the carnal mind and wait for God to stir like the man did at the pool of Bethesda in John 5. Hear the Spirit or word of God say to us as he spoke through Jesus, “Rise up, take up your bed and walk.” In other words, what Jesus was really trying to say to man – “Stop waiting and walk! You have the faith within to believe in Me and in what I have given you from the foundation of the world!” “Run and not be weary!” “You can do it as I did!” He is calling out, “Man!” “You can do greater things than I did!”
Strengthen your feeble knees and believe again! You are He on earth as He is in Heaven! Just believe and you will see!
What does the statement, “Where your heart is, there is your treasure” (see Matthew 6:21) mean for us? It means that your heart dwells in the dimension of the voice or person you listen to the most. If your heart or mind is saturated with the ways of the enemy, then you will carry his attitudes and release them, not only in your own life, but also within the lives of the people you influence. If your heart and mind are not on God’s ways, then you won’t carry and release His attitudes. This is why the enemy is constantly trying to put negative thought patterns about evangelism or Jesus in our heads. He knows if he can keep us thinking negatively about sharing God’s love with others, we will not be able to fully participate in that same inward and outward love that Jesus lived for with the Father and for people. It will keep us from loving God, loving ourselves, and loving His people. Philippians 4:8-9 tells us:
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
What Paul was trying to relate here is that if a man can get his mind in the attitudes of God, which are noble, pure, lovely, and of good report, peace will abide in his life. The God of peace crushes Satan’s attitudes, and disciplining our minds to focus on God’s heart will starve out those attitudes of the enemy and bring within our souls the presence of God. When we are at the point where our minds do not focus on the attitudes of this world, but only focus on God, the curse of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which distracts us from Jesus who is the source of life, is done away with, and the Tree of Life (Jesus) is planted in its place. When this happens, we will no longer hurt others through our minds and our tongues, and we will have a constant open heaven in our lives, which is the way Jesus walked when He was on the earth. His mind was constantly being subjected to the will and attitude of the Spirit, which allowed the presence of heaven to constantly remain around and upon Him, so that everything He did gave others life. This is why Jesus took away sin—so that we could abide in this same place where He dwells—the kingdom of heaven. Once we start dwelling where He dwells, it will only be a sign that we are being led by the Spirit of God instead of our flesh or the spirit of this world.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Jesus’ love is far greater than condemnation, guilt, and deserved judgment. Jesus is not a debt collector who calls daily to remind man of his mistakes, and short – comings. He is a Savior and cancels deserved mental and physical debt. He is man’s all time Jubilee. Call the Savior. He will come.
John 16:7-8
It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
The Spirit is the servant of all – you can see his servant hood in the beginning of creation and through out the life of God’s written word and history of man. He has all the power of the universe, yet moves when the Father tells Him too. He has served the Father, man, and the Son of God since day one. This is one of the reasons why Jesus preferred the Holy Spirit at the end of His ministry. He honored who was last, to be first. When Jesus left his disciples, he was so happy, because He knew that man was about to get his inheritance back – The Spirit of God, the “Promise” that was given to man from dawn of light.
