Access Granted!

Exodus 28:35 “Aaron will wear this robe whenever he ministers before the Lord, and the bells will tinkle as he goes in and out of the Lord’s presence in the Holy Place. If he wears it, he will not die.”

 

We need to understand the protocols of the presence of God that existed before the cross so that we can better appreciate what Jesus did for us on the cross. Yesterday, we said that in the protocol of worship, there was the outer court that everybody could access. Read the rest of this entry

P. H. P.

Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”

 

The first of three keys to breaking the barriers of the Roundabout, Treadmill, and the Trampoline Conditionings is Personal Growth. The second key is A Helping Hand. Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped…” (KJV). Read the rest of this entry

Present Help

Psalm 46:1-2 “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.”

 

The first of three keys to breaking the barriers of the Roundabout, Treadmill, and the Trampoline Conditionings is Personal GrowthIsaiah 10:27 “On that day the burden will be lifted from your shoulders, and the yoke from your neck. The yoke will be broken because your neck will be too large.” (BSB). Read the rest of this entry

Growth o’Clock

Isaiah 10:27 “At that time their burden will be removed from your shoulders. Their yoke will be removed from your neck. The yoke will be torn away because you have grown fat.” (GW).

 

The three main mental conditionings that we are trusting that God will break in our lives are The Roundabout Conditioning, The Treadmill Conditioning, and The Trampoline Conditioning. The first dimension of the trampoline condition mirrors what we see with the physical trampoline. Read the rest of this entry

God At Work

Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” (NKJV)

 

Like it is with the physical trampoline, the active force behind the trampoline conditioning (spirit) is the force of gravity. However, sometimes there is a ceiling that limits even how high a person can go or the heights a person can attain. As the person rises, he or she hits the ceiling and falls back down.

Operation Grace

2 Samuel 22:29-31 “For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.” (KJV)

 

Yesterday, we looked at the first of three main mental conditionings which is The Roundabout Conditioning. And we trust that God by His Spirit has broken The Roundabout Conditioning in our lives in the Name of Jesus. The second mental conditioning is The Treadmill Conditioning.

Direction

Isaiah 30:21 “Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.”

 

So, physical, mental, and spiritual barriers exist and yesterday we said that the job of the physical and spiritual barriers is to program the mind and establish a mental barrier. Once the mental barrier is established, the person goes into auto mode doing things without even thinking. Read the rest of this entry

Mind Blocks

Judges 6:14-15 “Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!” “But Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh…”

 

Yesterday, we established that barriers exist in the physical, mental, and spiritual. It is important to note that understanding the different areas these barriers exist is instrumental to actually breaking them. Spiritual barriers, for instance, Jericho had a spiritual barrier.

Breaking Barriers

Genesis 21:19 “Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink.” (NKJV)

 

Let’s just begin today by appreciating the Lord, our King, our Maker, our Father, and our God. Father, how can we ever thank you enough? From the depth of our beings, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank You. Thank You for all that You are doing and how far You have brought me this year. Read the rest of this entry

In Christ

John 21:17 “A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.” (emphasis added).

 

Jesus was saying to Peter, ‘From here on, I am going to put you in charge of my commission. Feed my sheep’. Jesus did not tell Peter to go on a sabbatical since he had gone through hell and high water. Jesus said to Peter, ‘Feed my sheep’. Peter’s call was grounded in Christ. Read the rest of this entry
