You have a tailored made life and it is your covenant right to hear God in Christ by the Holy Spirit. Christ was in the Father, the Father was in Him, we too share the same exact life of union. We show you the implications of union and Jesus as the model for living God. This message will show you how to navigate through hard times, situations and circumstance, and how to walk out His purposes.

Martin Luther said “But we, by the grace of Christ, holding the article of justification, do assuredly know that we are justified, and reputed as righteous before God by faith only in Christ. Therefore, we do not mingle the law and grace, faith and works together. We must not draw good works into the article of justification as some have done." All who minister the law are ministers of sin, and we show you that they also are hypocrites. This is a strong message in the spirit of true reformation. The works of the law will never be an option for the believer.

In this study we show how it is impossible to reconcile James and Paul by their own writings, comparing scripture with scripture. We take another deep dive into church history from the Apostolic age to the first three centuries to the 16th century, the reformation with Martin Luther, sharing what some early church fathers said regarding the epistle of James. Whatever side you end up, this is an interesting study of the tension that the church has undergone between faith and works, grace and law.

Question: How does one overcome depression, anxiety, addictions, etc.? Religion has the scriptures, but they do not have the Lord. We meditate on scriptures to get results, but those scriptures point to Jesus alone. Jesus is the only source and all things come from Him. Rom. 8:32. Feeding on Jesus is meditating in Him, and the scriptures are all about Him. The early church did not divide Jesus up into topics, and scriptures that are topical, they instead preached a person. Religion has made the Bible about everything but the unveiling of Jesus. Feed on Jesus and you will receive all things, never making it about the things but the person Himself.

The tension between faith and works ran deep in the early church, we attempt in this introduction to explain the historical polarization of James and Paul by understanding Israel, the Jews and Gentiles. If it wasn't for segregating and dividing people, the body of Christ this would not be an issue. However, we end up with two covenants, two groups of people, and two Gospels, one a perversion of the other. The early church had to sort through a lot of stuff, as we do today. This war rages even today, the tension between faith and works, law and grace.

Jesus did not come to work for us, He came to feed us. The church lives too much in the need arena, when we should be feeding on Jesus who meets our needs. Using the Canaanite women, I prove that Jesus does meet needs, but us feeding on Him first. (Mt.6:33) The promiser and promises are One and the same, religion separates these, our union with Christ secures our abundant life... at the end I show you what waiting looks like as God works for those who wait on Him.

Justification, by faith or works. Is this relevant to the church today? No, but it should be, and we show you why. The Apostle Paul risked his very life for this message. The church ignores it, cares less about it, yet it is the Gospel message at its best. The scripture is Galatians 2:16, this is an introduction to this verse looking at justification, works of the law and faith.

Feeding on Jesus (John 6) is the only command that produces fruit. There is no other way to get to life other than to feed on Jesus. Because the church has chosen other ways and means, from methods to steps to programs, we now have to make a show in the flesh, called will worship, this is why we have alter gymnastics, stage theatrics and performance of the "One Man Show" all due to our powerlessness. When has Jesus stopped being enough? As our all in all, and the sum of all things, He is the message, the ways and means to fruit and ministry. We must lay the axe to tree of knowledge of good and evil and get back to the tree of life.

The Apostle Paul received the revelation of Christ in Him, and the Holy Spirit unveiled Christ in Paul, this is the New Covenant. However, the church in Jerusalem, headed up by James, as was the rest of the disciples opposed Paul's teaching and turmoil entered the church. In this study we show you the rich history in the beginning of the early church and how it relates to us today.

Jesus said it was impossible to live the Christian Life, unless.... Jesus, and the Holy Spirit did not "fly solo" The only one is independent, does his or her own thing, is to eat from the wrong tree. This message exposes how much, even on a personal level, we are tied to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, producing fruit that kills.

God is unveiling Jesus in us by the Spirit. The Truth does not set us free, the knowledge of the Truth does, the Truth is a person, the Way, the Truth and the Life is all summed up in Christ who is the sum of all things. Perverting the Gospel in Galatians is perverting the person, missing Him for religion.

God is not against anyone, there is a spirit of against-ness in the church. Jesus fed the multitude, which was a metaphor of feeding on Him, signifying that He was not against the crowd. We can't feed the lost Jesus, invite them to eat, partake of Him, if we are against the lost, the blind, those Jesus referred to as “the sick” This is a prophetic word that calls the church to feed the lost not bash them, divide from them in the spirit of condemnation. How would Jesus handle the democratic party, the woke, the LGBTQ? It's time to change the way we think and act. While we were yet sinners Christ died for all mankind not imputing their sins against them. This is a game changing, controversial, much needed word for the church in this hour.

Being born from above has implications, being delivered, rescued from the present evil age. What does this mean? We do a deep dive into what we are delivered from and to, and I show you the point of no return. However, the church is returning to what we have been set free from, the Gospel message has its origin from above not beneath. Jesus is not of this world and neither are we. Our new origin is from above where we are rescued from beneath. We now have Christ in us, the kingdom o9f God is where we now live, move and haver our being.

We don’t know how Christianity works. Traditionally we have not been taught the concept of eating, however we are taught in church the concept of work. Jesus did not come to work for us but to feed us, our destiny is to eat, partake of His divine nature which is the Gospel message and the key to Christian living. Today there is a famine of the Word in the body of Christ.

Does Jesus want to be president of the United Sates? I’ll answer that by saying, He did not want to be made king of Israel. We have been delivered, rescued from this worlds system, we are saved from to… translated out of the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of Jesus. Has the church mixed the worlds message with the Gospel? Is this an aspect of perverting the Gospel? Have we returned from what we have been delivered from? We share great insights on salvation, water baptism, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, communion and more.

Eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus turned many against Him, however the same spiritual truth is doing the same today. The church does not have the concept of eating, feasting on our union with Jesus, instead it only knows work. The destiny of the church is to eat not do. Religion is a big business that brings success, but it does not bring us to feasting.

What does God say about anyone who modifies the Gospel in any way? Has the church allowed a perverted Gospel? Do you know the difference? Once you understand what the Apostle Paul warns against regarding the Gospel, it will awaken you to the glorious good news of Jesus and liberate you from all forms of legalism. The leaven od legalism will keep you from free and it will stunt your growth in grace.

Mankind never had a chance, at the get go, in the garden, we had the fall. (Tree of knowledge of good and evil) Jesus comes and restores man back to God and at the get go we have religion (Tree of knowledge of good and evil) The enemy keeps throwing everything in that tree at us to keep us from our union in Chris, experiencing the personal relational Godhead. When will the church, who is all up in that tree, finally see the truth (The Tree of Life) and turn from the religiosity that has impeded our destiny in encountering the One who dies for us?

The Gospel is at stake and the church is completely unaware. We define exactly what the Gospel is and taking a deep dive into church history we show you where it went wrong and that it continues to go down the wrong path which is perverting the Gospel.

In Galatians 1:4 the apostle uses the word in the Greek for evil as being delivered from the "present religious age" not the evil in the world, though it includes that, however, Paul is zeroing in on religion. It’s Christ vs religion, we are free from every rung on the ladder. We start at the top, no ladders needed. You are free from all the bondage religion puts on you.

Christianity has become too complex. The Gospel has been twisted, perverted. The Gospel is about a person, the person is Christ, and Jesus is to be eaten. God put man in front of trees and said eat freely. Jesus is the tree of life. God comes in another form in Exodus, as an animal, a Lamb, and they are told to eat. Jesus comes on the scene as the bread of life and tells us to eat His flesh and drink His blood. The Gospel is not about doing but eating. Eating is abiding in Him (John 15) Out with religion and in with relationship, partaking of His divine nature, Christ in you the hope of glory.

Does the church value the blood of Jesus? We do if we forgive others and ourselves. The main theme of the Gospel is forgiveness. However, the sad reality is the church often plays the hypocrite, receiving forgiveness for themselves but not offering it to others. We shoot our own wounded, and we go into the blood to pull out the sins of others, the blood of Christ that has washed away our sins. Have we forgotten the Gospel? Or are we enemies of it because it's too good to be true? Maybe this is why David placed himself in the hands of God and not man regarding his sin… You without sin cast the first stone!

I'm convinced the church has lost touch with the good news. What is the good news, has it touched in a deep way that has thrilled you, cause you to bow and worship? Using Galatians as a backdrop, Paul is straight forward what the gospel is and if any twist it in any way the Apostle they are accursed. My contention is we preach bad news, a mixture of grace and law, faith and works, no one can live up to all the legalism and performance being peddled today. The gospel is not politics either, the good news points to a person, not a movement, not a religion. This message will be a challenging to some, Christ is a rock of offense.

How much does grace accomplish, and the rest is up to us? To ask this means you have no clue about the grace of God. We explore how much grace alone by faith accomplishes apart from the works of the law.
