God's WILL is mentioned about 70 times in Amplified Bible in three categories: 1. Word of God reveals God's WILL 2. God's WILL is people REPENT of sin, be BAPTIZED, filled with Holy Spirit 3. Bulk of Bible verses describe how God wants to improve our Character - be Righteous, Transformed, walk Worthy of God by Bearing Good Fruit, Submit to Spiritual Authority, Consecrated and BE THANKFUL IN EVERYTHING!!

Faith is ABSOLUTE TRUST & CONFIDENCE - listed 12 times in New Testament. Nine times this FAITH includes ABSOLUTE TRUST & CONFIDENCE in God's POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS from Amplified Bible. THIS VIDEO WILL FLAT OUT BUILD YOUR FAITH!!! Amen!!!

A LIFE VERSE normally comes as a Rhema (quickened) insight from the Holy Spirit that guides your values and destiny in life. My LIFE VERSE was from April 1994 at my first Christian men weekend retreat in San Antonio Texas, just 3 months after the Holy Spirit restored my faith in Jesus Jan 18, 1994 - since I had walked away from the faith 18 years as a licensed minister. 1 Cor 16:13-14 gives cryptic military commands (understood YOU do this) Be on the Alert, stand firm in the Faith, Act like men, be Strong, and let all that you do be done in Love. What is YOUR LIFE VERSE and WHY?

God gives promises (Grapes) and the enemy sends distractions (Giants) to break your focus. God allows us to see the Giants right before our break through as a motivation to trust Him for strength and wisdom to OVERCOME the Giants and focus on TASTING the grapes to obtain His promise. Use two examples: religious leaders were VEXED and INDIGNANT at Peter and John for healing the 40 yr old cripple man in Acts 3 & 4. Then in Acts 27 & 28, the Centurion Julius showed favor and protected Paul after God and an angel told him that he MUST APPEAR BEFORE CAESAR and give his testimony.

God says 7 words He will NOT fail, give us up, leave us without support; OBEY your leader's authority, and God of Peace will STRENGTHEN and EQUIP us to DO His WILL. Rich study of Rhema words in Hebrews 13 Amplified worth meditating and memorizing to help others. Share testimony of praying for a general of the faith, Dr T.L. Lowery, when he was aching and weary. Holy Spirit gave him a good word in due season and REFRESHED his spirit.

Jesus asked the Disciple John to care for His mother, Mary, at the cross because John KNEW how to OBEY God's commandments and His brothers were full of UNBELIEF, not even attending His meetings. After ALL the excitement and announcements by angels, shepherds and wise men at His birth about Jesus is the Son of the Most High God - He lived an OBSCURE life as a carpenter for 30 years in Nazareth, a small town of 30 families off the travelled road with only a well. Moses received a vision and was OBSCURE for 40 years tending sheep, just like King David OBSCURE for 13 years tending sheep, and Joseph OBSCURE for 13 years in prison. I believe Mary became disillusioned with NO miracles for 30 years, but her FAITH returned at the wedding of Cana. My research showed me Jesus experienced criticism and UNBELIEF from His family who would NOT attend His meetings but waited for Him to join them outside. Two reasons are Hebrews 4:15 AMP (Jesus was tempted in ALL ways - even family dysfunction, as we are and yet without sin) and Hebrews 2:18 AMP (As FAITHFUL High Priest He KNOWS how to RUN to the aid of those who SEEK Him).Mary and the brothers were in the Upper Room (Acts 1:14) AFTER Jesus resurrected from the dead to receive the Holy Spirit baptism. This is a RICH and FAITH growing teaching to bring you closer to God and ACHIEVE His purpose!!!

Obey God's commands, precepts, laws, ordinances in Psalm 119 seventeen times. John says if we LOVE God we will KEEP His commands; also James and in 1st John. Learned John, 1-2-3 John and Revelation were all written about 95 A.D., about 63 years AFTER Jesus resurrection from the dead! The message is still anointed and encouraging!! Amen!!

IMPORTANT * * We started the recording FIVE minutes into the teaching. PLEASE read these foundation verses from Amplified Bible to understand the INTENSITY of God’s PEACE in the DARK, NUMB place with SHOCK – everyone I loved in my family faced FIERCE health attacks and fear of death God’s PEACE in HARD PLACE TESTIMONY – Psalm 138 & 145 (SON DIE SUICIDE) After Isaiah 40:31 – wait Lord, mount up wings like eagles (eight verses later God says) Isaiah 41:8-10 (AMP) But you, Israel, MY SERVANT, JACOB, WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN, the offspring of Abraham My friend, 9 You whom I [the Lord] have taken from the ends of the earth and have called from the corners of it, and said to you, YOU ARE MY SERVANT—I HAVE CHOSEN YOU and not cast you off [even though you are exiled]. 10 FEAR NOT [there is nothing to fear], for I AM WITH YOU; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL STRENGTHEN AND HARDEN YOU TO DIFFICULTIES, YES, I WILL HELP YOU; YES, I WILL HOLD YOU UP AND RETAIN YOU WITH MY [VICTORIOUS] RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTNESS AND JUSTICE. (Most people buckle at knees with pressure) HARD PLACE 9 MONTHS like Job: 1. Lose job, face foreclosure twice on house (4 months behind), food bank, sterling job skills/NO interviews 2. Dad 80, hip pop out of socket often = 911 ambulance call 3. Jason neck herniated disk, bone from dead body fused to his spine: Can’t SUE if die, paralyzed, can’t speak 4. Justin die by suicide after kill gay partner in BLOOD BATH with three knifes two weeks before 28th birthday PRAYER: Isaiah 43:1-7 (AMP) BUT NOW [in spite of past judgments for Israel's sins], thus says the LORD, HE WHO CREATED YOU, O Jacob, and HE WHO FORMED YOU, O Israel: FEAR NOT, FOR I HAVE REDEEMED YOU [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name (BELOVED, Child of God); you are Mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I WILL BE WITH YOU, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you. 3 For I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, YOUR SAVIOR; I give Egypt [to the Babylonians] for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba [a province of Ethiopia] in exchange [for your release]. 4 Because YOU ARE PRECIOUS IN MY SIGHT AND HONORED, and because I LOVE You, I will give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life. 5 FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; I will bring your offspring from the east [where they are dispersed] and gather you from the west. 6 I will say to the north, Give up! and to the south, Keep not back. Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth - 7 Even everyone who is CALLED BY MY NAME, whom I have CREATED FOR MY GLORY, whom I HAVE FORMED, whom I HAVE MADE. Isaiah 43:10-12 (AMP) You are MY WITNESSES, says the Lord, and MY SERVANT whom I HAVE CHOSEN, that you may KNOW ME, BELIEVE ME AND REMAIN STEADFAST TO ME, AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. 11 I, EVEN I, AM THE LORD, AND BESIDES ME THERE IS NO SAVIOR. 12 I have declared [the future] and have saved [the nation in times of danger], and I have shown [that I am God]—when there was no strange and alien god among you; therefore YOU ARE MY WITNESSES, SAYS THE LORD, THAT I AM GOD. BENEFITS OF TRIBULATION: Romans 12:12 (AMP) Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and PATIENT in suffering and TRIBULATION; be constant in prayer. *tribulation works PATIENCE 1. TRUST GOD’S CHARACTER, CONFIDENCE David anointed king age 17, King Saul pursued him 13 years to kill him. Live cave, 400 men debt, discouraged, discontent: David STIR himself up in God 2. Gives credibility to pray with others in hard place: (Six friends kids die by suicide/accident; PRAY WITH them Psalm 138 and Psalm 145 for hour to bring God’s peace) 3. Changes FOCUS to IMPORTANT Things: Redemption, purpose - share Gospel, Bill of Rights, safe house, warm, food, clothes, vehicle, friends that care
