Regard No One According To The Flesh

[Message given at Momma Jo’s, at the Andre House in Phoenix, October 2018]

Good morning brothers and sisters.  I want to share a testimony and a message about who God is, about who we are, and truth that sets us free.  No matter who you are, no matter what you believe, no matter what you do or what you’ve done, Jesus loves you.

I’m asking you to open up your hearts and hear what God is saying to you.  After I share this message I am going to invite you up to join me for prayer.  I believe that the Word of God will speak to many of you, and if anything I am saying is stirring your heart, please come boldly, and we will go to our heavenly Father together in prayer, believing through faith, that Jesus will come to restore your life and heal your heart.

I didn’t know covenant love, nor did I know truth.  As a result, I was always trying to get love; I  recklessly pursued belief-systems and adopted paradigms that would enable and advance my sinful, selfish desires.  The many false beliefs I had presumed about God, others, and myself, allowed lies to operate in my life—creating division and separation, as well as destruction in the lives of others.

Because of my sin, wounds, and false beliefs, I was bound in shame.  As a result, I was always trying to cover, hide, escape, and control my shame. Continue reading “To Destroy The Works Of The Devil” »
