97: The Devil Is Disarmed
…having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. HAVING DISARMED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:13-15,…
98: Bearing Fruit
The devil tries to confuse us about who we are. He tries to make us think the work is not finished, and we are not yet complete in Christ. His main strategy is to get us working and focusing on the fruit, instead of the Source. We hear the question from well-meaning Christians, “Are you…
99: Progressive Expression
An apple tree bears apples. In the same way we bear the fruit of who we are. The change in our identity and person has already taken place, but the expression of the change is the outward transformation that people see. We move from faith to faith as we behold Him, and the new man…
100: Living from the Inside Out
When Jesus created us in Himself, He put inside of us our spiritual DNA, our destiny, and every good work that He prepared for us. Today we just flow in our identity in Him. The progressive aspect of our lives on earth is just a progressive expression of what already IS: we have already been…
101: Nothing Can Separate Us From God
Like our elder Brother Jesus, the Firstborn among many brethren, we are born from above. He is the Son of God who lives in heaven and walked on earth. We too live with Him in heavenly places as we walk the earth by the Spirit who was given to us. Today sin cannot separate us…
102: Ministers of the New Covenant
And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, NOT of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the…
103: The Passover
The night before God delivered the Israelites from the hand of the Egyptians, He instructed them through Moses to paint the blood of a spotless lamb over the doorposts of their homes. …every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household… And they shall…
104: Complaining, the Big One
The #1 sin of the Israelites was complaining. They complained before the law was given, and they complained after the law was given. After the law was given, Moses defined complaining as despising God: “…because you have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, ‘Why did we ever come…
105: The Red Sea Crossing
God led the Israelites around by way of the wilderness to the Red Sea. If you remember the story, after God sent ten plagues on the Egyptians, Pharaoh relented and set the Israelites free. However, as he was in the habit of doing, he changed his mind, and sent his army after them towards the…
106: The Bitter Waters of Marah Turned Sweet
Bitter Waters of Marah Turned Sweet. After the Israelites were set free from the Egyptians and they crossed through the Red Sea safely into the desert, they traveled for days without water. They were miserable and complained. Have you ever been there? So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into…
107: The Bread from Heaven
In Exodus 16, we find the story of the manna. Every day starting on the 16th day of the 2nd month for the entire forty years that the Israelites were in the wilderness, God provided bread from heaven which they called manna, which means “What is it?”1 Fast forward to the New Testament, about fifteen…
108: The Rock from which the Water Flows
In chapter 17 of Exodus, the Israelites were traveling through the desert a few weeks after crossing the Red Sea and and they experienced their second water shortage. [They] camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, “Give us water, that we may…
