We are focusing on Numbers chapter 20 this week, and the incident at the Rock with Moses, Aaron and the Assembly of the Children of Israel. How important it is to be obedient to the Lord's commandments, and be led by His voice within our conscience. The importance of acknowledging the Lord for all good things in our witness to others, especially the lost as well as the saved that are still in the early stages of knowing Him. There is no such thing as chance, luck or coincidence.

This week we focus on the first couple of chapters of 1 John, particularly this passage in the Amplified Classic Edition (AMPC):
1 John 1:
5 And this is the message [the message of [a]promise] which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all [[b]no, not in any way]. 6 [So] if we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when we live and move and are walking about in darkness, we are [both] speaking falsely and do not live and practice the Truth [which the Gospel presents]. 7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts]. 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. 10 If we say (claim) we have not sinned, we contradict His Word and make Him out to be false and a liar, and His Word is not in us [the divine message of the Gospel is not in our hearts].

Pastor Catrice speaks on this week's topic about the heart of the Christian when finding themselves in a Wilderness.
Moses sent out scouts to report back what they found in Canaan, the land which God had given His children. However, some of them brought back an evil report because they were afraid of what they saw and didn't acknowledge the Lord and believe He would give them victory over their enemies.
When we venture into our day, or we find ourselves upon a problem or situation, what do we believe? Do we start professing doubt, repeating the devil's words spoken into our ears? Or, do we profess the Word of God and His promises, that my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus?

For those who love the Lord [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed], what eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for them. This is what 1 Corinthians 2:9 speaks about. The believer in Jesus can rest in peace and joy, but also know they have a hope and a future.
This contrasted with the lack of hope and a future for those who decide to reject Christ, not believe or accept Him, and foolishly and rashly utter things they do not understand (Job 42:3). While being blinded by the devil (2 Corinthians 4:4), they have the ability to receive Christ as Lord but some carry on as they are on the broad path, deceived by their own futile understanding lacking divine Wisdom. Such is the peril of those trusting in their own personal beliefs that contradict the Truth of the Word of our Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth of the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God. If the believer still thinks the way he or she used to think, then they continue to live with fear and anxiety, believing that the situation controls them instead of the situation being controlled by their declarations of God over the situation.

Exodus 34:6 - The Lord! the Lord! a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness and truth.
How important it is for us to not depend on our own understanding of God's nature unless that understanding has come from entering into a relationship with Him. Our carnal mind will always be wrong about God until it is renewed to the Truth about Him! (Romans 12:2). One of the ways is to see God's nature and character in action in His Word. In this program we look at the Father's heart in several situations and how His longsuffering continues with us to this day.This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): John 17:3; Genesis 6:5-6; Isaiah 1:1-5; Isaiah 1:7; Isaiah 1:9-10; Isaiah 1:18-21; 1 Samuel 8:1-10; 1 Samuel 15:11 (this last scripture was not covered in the program due to time.)

According to Proverbs 15:15 (AMPC): 'All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances].'
This week we focus on guarding our hearts and minds, so that what we think, believe and ponder on remains fixed on that which lines up with the very Word of the Living God Almighty. Else we permit evil circumstances to come against us each day, regardless of our knowledge or ignorance of these principles. Worse, we question or even blame our Heavenly Father on how he could have allowed us to have such a bad day!

This week we look at God's Grace. God is love, and so it is the love of the Great Jehovah for His creation, that reveals itself through His grace (undeserved favor) and mercy (withholding of deserved punishment). All of humanity gets to choose whether to love God in return, receive the undeserved free gift of salvation.

A child comes home to his or her parents, their clothes full of mud as they were playing with friends in the world. The door of the family’s home is wide open, never closed to those seeking rescue. The loving parents, so pleased to see their child made it home, love on their child by giving them a hot bath and a shower. The parents then feed their child a hot meal so he or she becomes nourished and becomes immune to illnesses.
Such is the love of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Christ Jesus. We are full of mud, walking aimlessly in this world, desperately in need of saving by the Rescuer, Jesus Himself. We are burdened by the chains of sin, hurts in our heart, depression, addictions, our body in need of healing.
The Lord is always ready and willing to help us. Instead of waiting for us to come to Him first, he makes Himself available and knocks on the door of our heart to let us know he is there (Revelation 3:20). But it is up to us to open the door of our heart to let Him in so he can help and grow and heal us. Based on the love of Jesus, He would be saying something similar to “Come to Me as you are. I know all things you have done and have been through. Nothing surprises me. This is why I came and gave my life for you, so that you would not die but live an everlasting life if you choose to believe and receive me in your heart. I have paid for you to be made a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). My Father and I love you so much (John 3:16). Just believe in me, I will wash your sins away as far as the east is from the west. (Psalm 103:12) I shall remember your sins no more (Hebrews 8:12), and neither should you remind yourself of them once you confess them to Me. (1 John 1:9.)”
The Lord washes us clean in our consciences (1 John 1:9). He offers us daily manna by way of His Word, His Scriptures. (Matthew 4:4). Again, we decide whether to eat of this Word for our soul desperately needs it. We decide whether or not to spend time with Jesus in a right relationship that He has already paid for us to have with the Father through Him. It is our choice, as with every decision our free will is able to make in our life on earth. The repercussions of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ on these decisions have a positive or negative effect in our daily lives.
'Come As You Are.' It is the invitation from the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father but by Him (Jesus). Therefore, it stands to reason we should focus our hearts on Jesus and the Father, with guidance and leading of His Holy Spirit. It doesn’t matter how much mud you have on you; Jesus wants to clean you off as you decide to allow him into your home. His arms open wide ready to receive you as you decide to receive Him and begin to love Him.
This program briefly discusses life without a relationship with Jesus, and spends much of the rest of the program on what it looks like to spend time focusing our heart on Jesus. Being Still and knowing He is God. Receiving rewards when disciplining ourselves to diligently seek Him without distractions, in a quiet place.

The first in this series on Ephesians 6, we look at the verses leading up to the instructions of the Apostle Paul to put on the Armor of God in order that we are able to stand up against all the strategies and deceits of the devil. The precursor to putting on the Armor of God is how we should treat others.
As children, we should obey our parents in the Lord as His representative, and from that scripture says we will have a long life on the earth.
That, as Fathers we are not to irritate and provoke our children to anger, but to rear them tenderly in the training and discipline and the counsel and admonition of the Lord (we know this is not happening nearly as much as it needs to be in society and across the world.)
As servants we are to be obedient to whoever are our physical masters and with a right motive of heart. Not doing good things because we know they are watching us, but doing them as a service to Christ Himself. Doing good for anyone causes a reward from the Lord.
As physical masters, for them to act on the same principle toward them and give up threatening and using violent and abusive words. That God as our Master is no respecter of persons.
We begin to talk about drawing strength from the Lord and the action words of these scriptures. That His strength is not automatic. We have to actively draw on it. We should be conscious of the importance of building and strengthening the union we have with Christ, or begin one if one doesn't exist already.

We all want to be on the best path in life. The Word of God, Jesus Himself, is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we cannot be on the best path. The devil therefore lures us to more familiar activities and distractions. We get to choose what we should watch, listen to, and who to be around. Our soul is being affected in a positive or negative way, moment by moment every day.
Our old carnal way is what we are used to. It is what we used to enjoy. Things are different now that we are born again but the old man that died can be resurrected if we do not guard our mind from becoming re-conformed to the world (Romans 12:2 warns us against this.) Therefore there is a constant battle for our attention. Both God and Satan want our focus. God, for our own good because He loves us and knows the dangers of you slipping back into Satan's darkness. Satan wants to keep you from becoming transformed by understanding the Truth of the Word of God. Hence, the choice each hour, each minute is yours. What will you feed your soul? The World or The Truth so that you can be transformed into the person God created you to be?

Romans 3:20 (AMPC) states that [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character].
For the born-again believer in Christ, Romans 6:14 shows they are no longer under the Law as slaves, but under grace as subjects of God’s favor and mercy. Still, the believer day by day should be in the process of reading and obeying the Word of God which is renewing their mind, thereby transforming them from being carnal into thinking and acting in accordance with the mind of Christ. While we still work through this transformation, we should not forget the two importance commandments of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-40. Over time we should not have to focus on them because as we are being transformed we will realize we are doing both without thinking.

The Christian has overcome Satan and all demonic powers by the Blood of Jesus and the speaking of God's Testimony of His Son. This is because the testimony being referenced in 1 John 5:9-12 is the Testimony of God. Nevertheless, we should still give our personal testimony to others as well.
This week we talk about what a testimony is, the two types that the believer needs to be ready to give to others, the importance of giving glory to God for all good things that He has done to produce the personal testimony of the individual. However, there is the greater one, the one we need to utter: God's Testimony of His Own Son. Life does not exist outside of Christ. A greater proportion of humanity is headed for destruction in hell on the broad way. The few have given their lives to Christ, and found eternal life in return on the narrow path.

The Lord endeavors to lead His creation away from evil and captivity and into a better place in relationship with Him. Out of the Kingdom of Darkness and into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son, Jesus (Colossians 1:13).
He led His chosen children of Israel in the pillar of cloud and fire day and night. His Spirit led His Only Begotten Son into the wilderness to be tried and tested by the devil for forty days and nights. His Spirit led the men to capture the Word of God for us to absorb and obey down the centuries and to this day. His goodness leads us to repentance.
However we all have a free will to choose. Are we obediently following His cloud by day and fire by night or are we on our own path that seems right to us that is away and distant to God, void of a relationship and salvation?
What about the day to day leading of the Holy Spirit? Are we sensitive to the things of the Spirit? Are we following His cloud and fire?
