Who are we and what do we believe?We are Spirit-filled non-denominational Christian ministers. Horace has been a minister since the late 1960's and I have been since the early 1980's. We are both called of God and equipped to teach.
We believe: 1. the man, Jesus, is the Christ; that He was born in the flesh, of a virgin by the Holy Spirit (Mat. 1:18-25;) 2. that by His virgin birth, He is ‘The Son of God’ [Jehovah, the Most High God: YHWH, el-Elyon, Adonai; not Allah ! ] (Mk.1:1; Lu. 1:35; Jn. 1:34, 3:18; Jn 6:66-69) in spirit, 3. He is also and equally ‘The Son of Man’ in the flesh (Mat. 9:6, 12:8, 13:41, 16:28, 18:11, 20:28; Ro. 8:1-4;) 4. He taught the Truth about His Father’s Heavenly Kingdom to humans on earth so men, through faith in Him and His teachings (Jn 20:31), could voluntarily become heirs with Him (Gal. 4:7; Rom. 8:14-17; Gal. 3:29; Titus 3:7; Heb. 6:17-18; 1 Peter 3:7) in His Father’s Kingdom, here and now on earth. 5. He lived a sinless life as a Man for an example to all mankind (1 Pet. 2:24; St. Jn. 14:6,) suffered grievous injustices by this world’s system of government (1 Pet. 2:24,) and through it was judged and died unlawfully (Ja. 1:14-15;) 6. He arose, physically, from the Dead after three days (Acts 10:30; 1 Cor. 15:4;) 7. that the shed blood of Jesus alone brings us redemption and cleansing before the Throne of God (1 Cor. 1:30; Eph. 1:7; Col 1:14; Heb. 9:12-15; 1 Peter 1:1819;) 8. the Bible is the inspired Word of Almighty God, [Jehovah] (2 Tim. 3:16,) revealed to the godly by the Holy Spirit of God (2 Pet. 1:20) as revelation knowledge, to be recorded for the purpose of revealing God’s perfect will to mankind, and restoring intimate fellowship between God and Man (Heb. 1:1-2, St. Jn. 5:22-30;) 9. all scriptures is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness, whereby the Man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Tim. 3:16;) 10. God [Jehovah] is Love (1 Jn. 4:8, 4:16), and that He is the Creator of Heavens and Earth and of everything that is, and in His Son, Jesus Christ (St. Jn. 1:14; 1 Jn. 1:1-2,) Who was before the world was formed and will be everlasting (Rev. 1:11, 18,) and by Whom all things currently consist (Acts 17:23-24; Col. 1:16-17;) and in Whom reborn Man has regained legal dominion over the earth (Gen. 1:26,) though God retains full ownership of the earth by reason of His having rights of “eminent domain.” (Ps. 24:1.) 11. believers live, and breathe, and have their being totally by faith (Ro 1:17; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38;) in Christ, and God’s Word. 12. the Kingdom of God works by faith (Heb. 11:1), which works by love (Gal. 5:6); that God regained ‘rule’ over the earth from Satan, in Jesus, the Christ, (Ps. 110:1; Mk.1:14-15) as a government which supersedes every government of earth (Mk 4:30-32;) 13. that through Christ, we [believers] make our [legal] Petitions known to God, Who is always gracious to give us the righteous things we seek (1 Jn. 5:15.) And that God gave re-born Man the Holy Spirit to be His “Governor” on the earth (Lu. 24:49.) [A Governor is an emissary sent by a King to teach the subject people the ways and language of the Kingdom, and over see the fulfillment of their every need by the Kingdom.] 14. all things are subject to the name of Jesus, both in Heaven and on earth. (Phil. 2:9-11;) 15. and that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin (Eph. 2:13; Heb. 9:14;1 Pe. 1:18-19,) BUT the Unpardonable Sin (Heb. 6:4-6,) and by His blood we can overcome all earthly obstacles and trials (Rev. 12:11.) 16. that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one unit, in three equal beings (St. Jn. 17:23, 14:26; 15:26, 16:7-15;) 17. the blood of Jesus Christ was voluntarily shed for the remission of our sins (Mt. 26:28, Heb. 9:22,) that by it our conscience might be cleansed from all unrighteousness (1 Jn. 1:9, Heb. 9:14, 12:24,) and that it is by the blood of Jesus Christ and the Word of our Testimony that we overcome trials and temptations in this world (Rev. 12:11.) 18. that through faith in Jesus as our savior, we are adopted into the bloodline of God and become His children (Rom. 8:15,23. Gal 4:5. Eph. 1:5.) 19. that God gave WORDS to His people [as speaking spirits, created in His image and likeness] as a form of acceptable communication with Him, and as a conduit for His power in them (Eph 6:18; James 5:17-18, Jude 20;) 20. that God, as our new Father, is the source of our every provision for Health, for Healing, and for abundance in all things: spiritual, emotional, physical and financial (Gal. 6:38. Eph.1:4-12, 3:20. 3 Jn. 1:2,) according to the principle of Seedtime and Harvest; and that His abundance to Christians is based upon our tithe and offering seeds under that spiritual law (Mat. 13:3, 18. Mk. 4:14. Lu. 8:5-15. 2 Cor. 9:10.) 21. that Jesus, at His physical death, descended into the deepest depths of Hell (1 Pe. 4,) separated from His Father, God, for the first and only time in eternity (Is. 53:6, 59:2; 64:7,) and that He preached salvation to the incarcerated souls there (1 Pet. 4;) And that Jesus, when he rose from HELL, led the saved into Glory (Mat. 27:52-53;) 22. that Jesus stripped DEATH, HELL and the GRAVE of their power (Col. 2:15; PS. 30:3, 1 CO. 15:55, Rev. 1:18) over Man before three days time (Mt. 26:61, 27:40, 63;) That on the third day after His death on the cross, Jesus rose from the dead in the flesh (Mt. 27:63, Acts 25:1) leading His saints from DEATH to HEAVEN (Eph. 4:8, Mt. 27:52-53, Jn. 14:2-3;) and appeared unto the believers in the Upper Room and there delivered unto his believers His power over the earth, and the keys to DEATH, HELL and THE GRAVE (Mat. 28:1-20, Mk. 16:1-20, Lu. 24:49;) 23. In Jesus’ appearance to many after His resurrection from DEATH (Mt. 27:63;) 24. That when Jesus rose from the grave, God the Father gave him all authority in Heaven and on Earth (Mat 28:18; Jn 20:21; Eph. 1:19-22;) and that Jesus, when He left earth, transferred that authority to His Children (Lu. 10:19;) 25. In the Doctrines of Christ as set forth in the Holy Scriptures: repentance from dead works [when we turn around and go the other way, God removes our sins as far as the east is from the west!] (Ps. 103:12), faith toward God, the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment; that the perfection of the foundational Doctrines of Christ listed here result in total victory in the life of the believer, in this world (Heb. 6:1-6, Col. 2:10;) 26. In the blood covenant of the Lord’s Supper as being an eternal covenant reminder between Our Living Lord, Jesus, and every individual member of His Body of Believers (Mt. 26:28, Mk. 14:24, 1 Cor. 10:16-17,) for their protection, prosperity, divine health, eternal life, victory over nature, and power over the enemy (Gen. 13:1-3, Det. 27:1-14, 1 Pet. 2:24, Eph. 3:6, Heb 9:9-15, 2 Cor. 10:4, Ja. 5:17-18;) 27. In water baptism, by full submersion, as a sign to both the natural and spiritual worlds that we ask for, receive, and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord (Heb. 9:9, Mk. 10:38, 16:16, Lu 12:50, Jn. 4:1, Acts 8:36-38.) Thereby, we voluntarily die to our old nature (Ro. 4:19, 6:2, 8, 11;) are buried with Him in our baptism (Ro. 6:3,) and arise with Him into the newness of Life everlasting (Col. 2:12) in this world, being born again of the Spirit of Almighty God (Jn. 3:5-6, 4:4) by the Word of His power. Thereby, we become the SONS OF GOD (Gal. 4:7,) and heirs and joint heirs with Jesus, our LORD (Jn. 1:12, Ro. 8:14, Gal. 4:6, 1 Jn. 3:1-2;) 28. That by the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit of promise living in and through us, in Christ, we are made Kings and Priests in the earth unto our God (Rev. 1:6; 5:10) whereby we are able to judge the righteous judgments of our God and forgive penitent men their sins (Ps. 89:14, 94:15-16. 103:6. 106:3. Pr. 16:10. 21:15. Isa.5:16. Mt. 7:2. 12:18. 23:23. Jn. 5:22, 30. Jn. 12:31. Phil. 1:9. 1 Pr. 4:17. Acts 5:1-5.) 29. In the spiritual world, more real than the natural world (Jn. 6:63), whose laws guide, build and supercede this world’s natural laws (Gen 1:1, Ps. 104:5-9) which is a mere shadow of God’s reality (Col 2:17;) 30. In the baptism of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:13) with the evidence of speaking in unknown tongues (Acts 2:4, Rom. 8:26-27) as He gives utterance, and of the indwelling of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in each believer (1 Jn. 17:1-25;) 31. In the exponentially multiplied power of the eight Biblical kinds of prayer among the membership of believers: those prayers being: A) The Prayer of Agreement [multiplied to the 10th Power per person that is in agreement,] (Amos 3:3. Mat. 18:19;) B) The Prayer of Faith or Petition (Mk. 11:24-25. Ja. 5:14-15;) C) The Prayer of Consecration and Dedication (Mat. 26:36-39. Mk. 14:32-36. Lu. 22:39-44;) D) The Prayer of Praise and Worship (Ex. 15:19. Lu. 2:20;) E) The Prayer of Intercession by The Holy Spirit (Ro. 8:26. Lu. 4:18-19;) F) The Prayer of Deliverance (Ex. 33:12-22. Mat. 26:38-39;) G) The Prayer of Judgment (Ps. 10:1-8; 35:1-8), and the H) The Prayer for World Harvest (Mat. 9:35-38; 13:36-42.) 32. That when we are born again of the Spirit of God, we become alienated from the natural world [as a ship upon the ocean is alien to the water of the ocean], to become citizens, by the blood of Christ Jesus, in the spirit world of the Kingdom of God (Mt. 5:19; Jn. 1:9-10; 8:23; 15:18-19) having entered into the arc of His covenant; and that we are thereby engrafted into the original Hebrew nation (Ro. 11:17, 19, 23, 24), rather than becoming a replacement for it. 33. That our sole purpose, as born again believers, is to show forth the Glory of God in the earth (1 Pe. 2:9) by our lives. 34. In the God-given, supernatural gifts: of prophecy, the apostolic gift, evangelism, teaching, exhorting, knowledge and wisdom, helps, hospitality, giving, governments [with many offices], faith, discernment of spirits, working of miracles, healings, and tongues and interpretation of tongues (1 Cor. 12:1-11, Eph. 4:8; Heb. 2:4, 11:4;) 35. That the Holy Spirit was given to the Church to be our Teacher and Comforter (Lu. 12:12; Jn. 14:26; 15:26); and to lead us into Life in abundance of all things (Jn. 16:13; Eph. 4:15;) 36. In revelation knowledge and wisdom which is supernaturally imparted to believers through prayer and meditation in God’s Word (Rom. 8:27;) 37. In the existence of angels, both Elect (Mt. 25:31) and Evil (Ps. 78:49; Mt. 25:41;) and that the Elect angels are sent by God to minister to the saints in Jesus by performing the Word of God which they speak (Heb. 1:14; Ps. 103:20;) and that the Evil angels are those who chose to leave their first heavenly estate to follow Satan in his rebellion against our God (2 Pe. 2:4;) who are enemies of the Cross of Christ Jesus and of His Body (Phil. 3:18, Mt. 13:25-39, Acts 13:10, 1 Cor. 15:26) and who are the pro-creators with women, of demon spirits [half-breeds, with dual citizenship in both the earthly and spiritual realms](Gen 6:1-3;) 38. That Jesus gave us all knowledge and equipment necessary to defeat every tactic of the enemy of our souls (Eph 6:12) in His Word, and that the knowledge of His Word, and His spiritual laws contained therein, it is not only our best, but our only weapon of warfare aside from our spirits (Eph. 1:1-23: 6:13-18;) 39. In the existence of demon spirits, as separate and subordinate to, human or angel spirits, and that Christ Jesus gave His disciples complete authority over them in His stead until His return to deal with them (Gen 6:1-6, Mt. 10:1, 8; 28:18-20, Mk. 16:17, 20, Lu. 10:17,) when He releases them from the Pit, where we are to put them (Rev. 9:1-11. 20:1-3.) 40. That Jesus the Christ is the only bridge for communication and salvation between Man and God Almighty (St. Jn. 14:6;) 41. That God ordained the institution of marriage between only one man and one woman (Gen. 2:24) until death separates them: that their union makes them one flesh (Mat. 19:5,6; Mk. 10:8; 1 Cor. 6:16, Eph. 5:31.) The sexual union is not just for procreation of the human species, but is a continuous symbol of His intimate power working in us, His church, as His bride, to bring Sons in love unto Him. 42. That the sexual union of a sanctified, legally married, husband and his wife is symbolic of Jesus’ union with his church; and therefore, physical adultery, for believers, is a sin against one’s own flesh as any sin is against the body of Christ (Mat. 5:27, 19:9, Rom. 7:4-6, 1 Cor. 7:2-5, Titus 1:6;) 43. That the Church was given unto Jesus to be counted to him as a generation of children who have been made Kings and Priests (Pr. 8:15, Rev. 1:6, 1 Pet. 2:9,) with the authority to retain or remit sins (St. Jn. 20:23,) and that as such we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus to the Kingdom of God and its resources (Gal 4:7, 30, Heb. 1:14, 11:7. 1 Pet. 3:7;) 44. We are to be Holy before God as He is Holy (Dt. 7:6, Mt. 5:48) and that He would not have commanded this unless it were possible to achieve; 45. In the individual evangelism, salvation, and discipleship of every believer (Mt. 28:18-20;) 46. That obedience to the Word of God, faith in the Word of God, love and worship of God, and submission to the Will of God will bring unity to the Body of Christ on Earth (Ro. 6:16, 2 Thes. 3:14; Mk. 11:22, 4:10, Jn. 4:23-24;) 47. That the Name of Jesus is greater and more powerful than any other name in Heaven or Earth, and that at that name every knee must bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD OF ALL (Ro. 14:11, Phil. 2:10;) 48. That God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34, Dt. 7:9;) and that He will always honor His Word, spoken in Faith (Ps. 33:4. Titus 1:2. Jn. 17:17. 1 Thes. 2:13.) 49. That the Love of God, in us and through us, is sufficient to conquer every evil intent of other human spirits (1 Cor 13, Pr. 10:12, Rom. 13:10, Mt. 5:44;) 50. That the principles of Godly prosperity are for all believers [those who live by faith in Him and in His Word, and who work within His kingdom’s system.] (Hagg. 2:15-19. 3 Jn. 1:2.) 51. That we (personally) are to publish the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all men without respect to nationality, creed, or color; and that we are to love them, and teach them to observe all things which Jesus commanded and taught to the first disciples (Mt. 28:18-20;) and that each believer has an individual responsibility to God to work for the ultimate End Time Harvest of souls to the Glory of God, their Father in Heaven (Mat. 9:37-38; 13:30-39. Mk. 4:29. Lu. 10:2. Rev. 14:15;) 52. That in the Name of Jesus we are to take spiritual control of principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places, destroying their evil works and weapons, and militarily occupying their land until Our LORD, Jesus, returns to receive His church to Himself (Eph. 6:1-18, 1 Jn. 3:8, Nu. 33:52, 1 Thes 4:15-17;) 53. That the Word of God is an encrypted, coded language that contains the all powerful secrets of the universe (Heb. 1:3, 11:3, Jas. 1:18; 1 Pe. 1:23, 25; 2 Pe. 3:5; 1 John 1:1.) 54. That the wisdom of the Spirit of the Word of God is hidden from those who are not His. (Pr. 14:6; 24:7.) [It is not unlike the upgrading of computer components that render the elder version obsolete, the new version of which can not be read, or broken into by saboteurs who have no access to the encryption codes;] 55. In the worldwide communion of the Saints in Jesus Christ (Gal 3:28;) 56. The Holy United Church of Jesus Christ, without respect to nationality, kindred, tongue, or denomination (Gal. 3:28, Eph. 4:3-6, 13;) 57. The resurrection of the dead (Mt. 22:23, 30-31; 27:53; Lu. 14:14, Jn. 11:24;) 58. The final Judgment (Heb. 9:27; Rev. 18:100;) 59. The existence of Heaven and Hell as very real places (Mt. 3:2, 5:16, 10:28, Lu. 12:5, 16:23, 2 Pet. 2:4, Rev. 1:18;) 60. The soon-coming of Our LORD, Jesus (1 Thes. 4:15-17, Mt. 24:27-31;) 61. The eventual, eternal tribulation of Christ Rejecters (Heb. 2:3, Mt. 24: 21, 29;) 62. The eventual destruction of this Earth and the ensuing establishment of New Heavens and New Earth (Mt. 24:29; 2 Pet. 3:13.) where the saints shall dwell in peace (Ps. 37:9-11. Mt. 5:5.) [Meekness is not timidity; but rather obedience to the knowledge of that which is Holy to God.] 63. And in Life Everlasting in Jesus Christ (Mt. 19:16, 29; 25:46; St. Jn. 3:15, 36; 5:29;) 64. That the Word of God which WE speak does not return unto Him void, but does accomplish that which He has sent it out through us to do (Is. 55:11;) 65. That the creative power of God that was given unto born-again Man is first conceived in the heart and then spoken by the mouth (Mat. 12:34. Lu. 6:45;) 66. That born-again Man is in everlasting, unbreakable Covenant with God Almighty by Christ Jesus, in the lineage of Abraham, that they may be plenteous in all good (Godly) things (Acts 3:25; 13:26. Rom 8:17; 9:7. Gal 3:7, 29. Titus 3:7;) 67. That by faith we are made more than conquerors in all things in Jesus (Rom. 8:37) and that we have regained dominion over the world in Him (Gen. 1:26, 28) as was God original intent in the Garden of Eden. 68. That it is our destiny to be like He is, in this world (Eph. 1:5, 11. 1 Jn. 4:17.) Reconciliation, Regeneration and RestorationBACKGROUND SCRIPTURES

The Basic Bible Doctrines:
1. The Triune Godhead: God, the Almighty is Creator of the Heavens and the earth, and everything that is. He is manifested as three separate but equal beings: The Father, a spirit named Jehovah; The Son, a divine human named Jesus, or Yeshua Ha-Mashiach; and The Holy Spirit a divine spirit Who abides in accepted humans. Jehovah is The Creator of everything; He is self-existent, eternal, all knowing, all seeing, all caring, and supremely self-governing. [“Jehovah” means “Self-existent” and “Eternal.” Jesus” means “Jehovah saves.” “Holy Spirit” means “Blameless & Consecrated” and “Breath of a rational soul; the essence of Life.”] 2. Jesus the Christ came in the flesh: Jesus is all God and all human for all eternity. 3. The Second Coming: Jesus Christ is coming bodily to earth again to rule and judge as a King. 4. Salvation: We are saved by the grace [unmerited favor] of God through faith in Christ’s teachings alone. 5. Cleansing & Sanctification: Christians are cleansed of our sins by the washing of the water of God’s Word, and the blood of His sacrificial lamb through it’s application to our lives. 5. The Scripture: It is all-sufficient for a full, happy, healthy, prosperous Christian life. 6. Judgment Will Occur: Christ will ultimately judge both the good and the bad that has been done on the earth, but will have no record or remembrance of the sins He has forgiven. Who is The God of the Bible? And What does This God do? Who is The God of the Bible? God Almighty is[1].

Jehovah, the name of God Almighty, in His great wisdom, created every detail necessary for Man to survive and thrive in a variety of scenarios. From before He laid the foundation of the universes, He planned for Man to have choices, so in the Garden of Eden He planted several eternal trees, The Tree of Life, and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Deep within those plans were laid laws which are unchangeable: The Law of Sin and Death, The Law of Life in Christ, and so on… ad infinitum. The first Man made a bad choice, and we have all paid the price because we were all set on the same path by his choice, but God, because of His love for us, gave Jesus’ Life for ours to pay the price those laws required for our redemption back onto the path of perfection. When we accept Jesus as our savior He adopts us into His heavenly family. When we do as He teaches us by His Words, we have access once again to that once-perfect place of fellowship with Him. We have access to all our Heavenly Father now possesses, and have already had our converted Citizenship back to His Kingdom, “lock, stock, and barrel.” [1] All three Persons of the Godhead are involved in making and maintaining all the doctrines of the Bible, and they are all involved in the work of salvation, discipleship, and sanctification for eternal service. [2] This does not mean He did not give us a choice. He left the choice up to us. Deuteronomy 30:19. Philippians 1:22. (Continuation of this subject is a whole other study…) [3] This is the only thing Jesus came to earth to do: teach us about Jehovah, His kingdom, and what He wants for and from us, and how to do those things: John 4:23.

Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Eph 1:23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the KINGDOM of his dear Son: Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell; Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Col 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled Col 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Mat 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Luk 10:19 [Jesus speaking] Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. Eph 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Eph 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. This is all our inheritance in Christ Jesus! Rom 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. Rom 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Rom 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Rom 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. Rom 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Tit 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. Tit 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Tit 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; Tit 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Heb 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Heb 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. Heb 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: Heb 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Heb 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. Jas 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 1Pe 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 1Pe 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 1Pe 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 1Pe 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. Psa 94:14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. Pro 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Act 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Eph 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Let no one steal your inheritance Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. Eph 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Eph 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. Eph 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Eph 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. Col 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; Col 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Col 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: It is our earthly responsibility to pray in the rest of those God has given Christ our Lord. As we do that, He will provide our every need! Mat 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Mat 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Mat 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Mat 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Luk 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. TITLES BY MARILYN ELLSWORTH AVAILABLE AT WWW.LULU.COM/MARILYNELLSWORTHThis is a book God dictated through me [starting in 1979] when I was first Spirit Filled and going through intense one-on-one deliverance from things like Hatred, Anger, Bitterness, Envy, and multiple addictions. It shows, clearly, the Biblical Laws that govern evil spirits, how they work, what they eat, what the do, why they manifest, and much more. It's a must study tool for any serious bible student.
An intense book about a proven method of spiritual warfare that will not fail. It's not a rehash of old topics but new revelation God gave me in the heat of battle. In it are copies of my real prayers and battle plans, and they all worked! I have battled liars, cheats, thieves, huge corporations, in and out of various court systems, and won by the power of Jesus' name.
This book is my own true case history of learning to submit to God Almighty during the toughest trials of my early adulthood, the good, bad, and ugly, and how God channelled my anger and efforts to benefit my entire home state for the better by it. From my experiences I founded FLORIDIANS FOR UNIFORM INTER-FAMILY LEGISLATION in 1983 and collected more than 3 million signatures, ushering in sweeping legal reforms.
This is the true case history of my Petitioning for redress of grievance in four court systems against a deep-pocketed, state-affiliated, federally funded entity, in Jesus' name, and relying on Him to show me what to do and say at every turn, and winning every count in every case. This book contains actuall scans of documents using scripture and Jesus name that were filed in the courts. I am on a bold walk of faith, and no ashamed of it.
A new Christian's introduction to the Bible promises and basic doctrines, some parts of which are now available on this site.
The Tiny Teaching Series, volumes 1, 2, and 3 are available. Most are sermon outlines, some are written more as pamphlets, as that's how we distribute them. Each book has a view of the first 12 pages available, including the Table of Content.
There are many other interesting books available at my storefront, both Christian and secular; for adults and for children.
I try to edify others in everything I create, knowing God will hold me responsible for what I share during my lifetime. My God-given destiny is to learn; then to enapsulate that knowledge into easily digestable portions, and make it available to others. That is why I write. Sooncoming Titles:A chronicle of the journey Jehovah brought me through written as conversational prayers I had with Him.
