Part 5 The Seven Churches in Revelation… A Case Study of Love Grown Cold
If the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God is maligned, His LOVE will be Questioned.
It is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God that makes His LOVE attractive.
If we don't love God’s righteousness we don’t truly love Him.
Atheism is more a denial of God’s righteousness than of His existence.

The one we seek to please is the one we love.

Recovery Of Sight In The Season of New Wine Part 2
God’s word does not merely have power. God’s word is the power of God.

Recovery Of Sight In The Season of New Wine Part 1
It is easier to see the problems; only the faithful can see the blessings.

Living by faith is processing life through the lens and filter of God’s word.
Part 8 New Wine
Ask, seek, knock are all a form of asking only at three different levels.
Asking is the first grade. There are some things available merely if we ask for them.
Seek: The next level requires more of us than merely asking. We have to seek for them. Asking is relatively easy. Seeking is more involved. We have to put in the effort.
Knock: Knocking is the highest level of prayer. Here we put ourselves out. We are ready to pay a greater price than when we were seeking.
New Wine Part 7

Wealth does not always indicate depth.
New Wine Part 3
To consecrate is to turn aside from everything else and be devoted to God and to God’s purpose
The best time to pray for a thing is when God is ready to grant it.

You have a need for new wine, only you don’t know it yet.
New Wine, Our Greatest Need in 2025
God wants to give you your heart’s desire in 2025 but your heart’s desire is not God’s best for you.
A person who gets what he wants but does not achieve God’s purpose will be a blessed-disappointment.
A blessed-disappointment is blessed and highly favored but he frustrates the grace of God.
Our Imperfect Human Reasoning Versus God’s Perfect Will
Placing your own reasoning above God's is a rejection of His wisdom.
Human reasoning thinks it needs to help God out.
Because of sin, our understanding to the ways and commands of God is skewed
Our emotions and passions get intertwined with our reasoning/logic causing us to be led astray.
Part4 Reclaiming Miracles, Signs and Wonders
Which is harder, performing miracles or transforming people into godliness?
Miracles do not build us up. It is the word that builds us up, edifies and equips us.
It is possible to preach right and live wrong, but it is impossible to live right and preach wrong.
Part 3 Reclaiming Miracles, Signs and Wonders
The Word of God Is Both Doctrine and Power.

Men may respond to doctrine but demons only respond to power. You cannot debate demons into submission.
