Watch Revolution 618

The Lord speaks to Melissa through a dream stating "They are begging me for what freely belongs to them. I love them I want more of them. I want them to reveal themselves to me the (Lord) I want these things from them. I'm giving them their hearts desires but they come and beg love out of me and then walk away feeling worse than they did because they didn't receive the gift freely. There is No Reason to Beg When the Refrigerator is full. I want to know you love me, but more importantly I you to know I love you the lord said. If you know I love you then you will walk out the love and not beg for it. Receive my love and walk in my love." The body of Christ has fallen into this place where there is some complacency going on. There has been a walking away from some of the foundational things we've learned when we first came to the Lord. Pastor Josh Jamison adds sometimes people beg with their actions like trying to prove to God that they love him. Our service to God doesn't make him love us anymore or any less he loves us freely and in that confidence of his love were able to serve him according to grace not under self-effort , works, or being a law keeper. Referencing Galatians 4:4-7 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Grace is not where we do whatever we feel like. Grace is where were able to do God's will. What is it we are trying to get away with in the body of Christ? Are we saying to ourselves its okay to do this because God has granted me full access to the refrigerator? We have freedom and liberty to take whatever we want from the refrigerator, but there are things we deal with and know we aren't supposed to be doing - like eating a gallon of ice cream or Soda for example before dinner like a child. Children learn, train, and develop knowing right from wrong. As new Christians we know God is developing a son ship in us and a relationship so that we trust each other and are growing together and were learning him. Second Season Finale Directed by Bryan Kreutz.

Pastor Josh Jamison states "The Lord is my Daddy"! "I'm not a sinner I'm saved by grace, I was once a sinner, I know where I came from and I don't think of myself more highly than I ought to think. I am complete in him who is the head of all principality and power. That is the transformation that took place in my life that I can see that and know that and walk in son ship and I have less of a desire to grow in faith so that I can get my needs met but more of a desire to be useful for the father. To be a son who is mature and be able to do the lords business." Josh Jamison references Romans Chapter 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

Christians need the word of God activated in their life. In order to do this we must read the bible and receive what the lord has for us and apply it to our lives. We have a helper from God known as the holy spirit of truth to lead and guide us in all truth as we are not alone and not orphans. Melissa Jamison adds that not only do we get to learn from God but we also get to learn from people that God uses. Some of us may feel like we don't have anything to give, anything to speak or share and the lord says you do with a measure of faith. We grow in faith by exercising in the faith God gave us.

Go forth into God's army as he transforms you into his image. We have a purpose when we see who we are in him. We as Christians take up the place where in Ephesians 6:12-18 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. Take up the full armor of God so we are able to stand and wrestle. When we sit back and not watch Christian Television we receive the image of the world on us often re-producing that image in our lives. It is important that we get into the word of God and we release it doing something with it. We can be going through our neighborhood and through the ends of the Earth taking Jesus wherever we go. America tends to be orphaned in many ways because our hearts are callused in certain areas. It's very hard for us to stand with and behind people because we try so much for or own self doing everything to survive. We are living for ourselves often not being concerned for someone else but more our own situations.

We don't live according to the Law rather we live according to the grace of God which is the treasure that we get to receive and therefore manifest. Pastor Josh Jamison references Ephesians 1:7 In him (Christ) we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace. We position ourselves in humility because God resists "The Proud" but he gives grace to the humble. The Lord wants to distribute his riches for us and towards us then ultimately through us. Pastor Josh Jamison References Paul talking in Ephesians 3:8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. Christ wants us to take full advantage of the credit that he paid, of the advantage that he gave through the blood of Christ. Melissa strongly points were discounting the blood of Christ if we don't take advantage. 1st Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

We as a people need to be cautious about making judgments on person or person's theology or what you think their stand is based on watching somebody for 30 minutes on television or listening to them on the radio. We are saved by grace known as the grace of God through faith. The word of God declares as you receive the lord so walk in him. Josh states 'So many people misunderstand the grace of God' There needs to be more of a full understanding and awareness of the grace of God that is unmerited favor ,but also Gods power in our life to work out his righteousness. When the grace of God shows up that gives us divine ability to be an over comer and a conqueror. We don't receive grace by our own righteousness. We receive the grace of God by Christ's righteousness. Mercy and grace are not synonymies. Mercy is not receiving what I do deserve while grace is receiving that which I don't deserve for example. We peruse the things of God and go to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace.

Pastor Josh Jamison begins the topic of Healing Referencing 3rd John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. Jesus unveiled the fact that healing is the children's bread. Jesus first came to the Jews then to the gentiles. Secondarily Jesus came to this woman from Canaan who are you going to give glory to? Jesus is calling her out on worship of their societies Dog God false leader or Jesus. Matthew 15:21 'Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. ' Matthew 15:26 But He Answered and said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.' The Lord desires for us to be physically healed. There is this concept that we hold very important as believers Man is spirit soul and body, your spirit man when you are born again is vitally united to God connected in one spirit to the Lord and in a position to overcome the world. Our soul containing our mind our will and our motions understanding my spirit is saved my soul is being saved and when Christ returns our body will be saved as it is sewn in corruption it will be raised in glory and even our flesh will be incorruptible. We have access to the wisdom and the power of God through the prosperity of our soul renewing our mind in the biblical word. Josh then references Romans 12:2 and do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable will of God….. If we know it is the will of God for us to be healed all of the sudden we can walk and act in confidence, because the bible says if we ask anything according to his will he hears us then we know we have whatsoever he asks.

Pastor Josh Jamison opens the topic of not battling against flesh and blood but rather against principalities and powers. God is encouraging us as a people to stand therefore! Josh goes into referencing Ephesians 6:10-14 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore". Melissa Jamison states "We all have places in our life where we had to learn how to forgive" It is hard and not an easy thing. There is a mountain so to speak of having bitterness and un-forgiveness to overcome. Many times our un-forgiveness or bitterness is justified meaning somebody did something wrong that in our humanity we ought to be bothered about it by his grace God gives is the ability to afford the gift of forgiveness as he has forgiven us. This forgiveness is very important to our own lives and hearts that we know how to walk in it. When were troubled with something it isn't like we pretend it isn't there it is realizing and recognizing it is there whether its besetting sin, whether it's bitterness or un-forgiveness even sickness it is ok as a believer in Christ to recognize the problem it's up to us to receive the word of God, mix the word with faith and do what the word of gods says by being empowered by Christ.

We are to be a spirit lead people, with a spirit mind, having a spirit destiny because the lord has transformed us. We are illuminated by the spirit of the living god, we are born again not of corruptible seed but rather incorruptible seed we've been born again and whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. Melissa Jamison adds God gives us victory! He's already paid the price and the victory has already been won so we don't have to wonder where were supposed to be or if we're really going to make it. As Christians we still have battles to go through in our life, sometimes as we walk through the process there may be things that come up that are hard to deal with but if you have the joy of the lord being your strength we can plow through the difficulties with the Holy Spirit's help. Were not alone in this walk as Christians God is lifting you up and asking you to go further with him and to not stop short or get discouraged that you allow the discouragement to hold you back. We can stay in a state of frustration, god wants us to delight in his purpose and plan for us. God is saying "calm down rest in me, find peace in me", so you don't have to be spun and out of control, but your grafted into me I give you a steadiness that only I can bring. Pastor Josh Jamison references Romans 8:34 'Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.'

We want a Joy, a sense of Peace, and Love that the world and the devil can't undo through God's love, the Agape love! The keys to victory and success are keeping our eyes and our mind on God. Extending our trust and faith in God because he is the one who has given us life. If we trust in God we will see the results God promised in his word the Bible, sometimes it takes time because we need perfecting of our faith, but it produces patience, when we have endurance then we will receive what the lord promises to us. Pastor Josh Jamison states " I used to be in my mind now I'm out of mind, but it's a place of sanity because it's trusting the lord where were grounded in him and his love, faith, and the word (Bible) standing on the solid rock of the Revelation that Jesus Christ is the son of the living God. Melissa Jamison adds as we align ourselves with God and his word all of the sudden we start getting this revelation of who he is and what he is doing so we understand the peace is in him and not in our circumstances then there is nothing to be shaken about. If we fully trust in him read his word then the word will work in us and we can plant the word within others and help then walk in alignment with God's word the Bible. Josh Jamison references the previous week with the promises of and the aligning process of God in Joel 3:18 'And it will come to pass on that day that the mountains will drip with new wine and the hills shall flow with milk and all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water, a fountain shall flow from the house of the lord and water the valley of the acacias.' and also the biblical verse Amos 9:13 'behold the days are coming says the Lord when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows seed. The mountains shall drip with sweet wine and all the hills shall flow with it.' Melissa Jamison supports with the verse Mark 9:23-24 "Jesus said, "If? There are no 'ifs' among believers. Anything can happen. No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the father cried, "Then I believe. Help me with my doubts!"

So often we put off the things of God, it is so much easier to do the things he asks us today than putting them off for tomorrow. God asks us 'will you do the things I've presented to you today and on a daily basis?' We as a people need to align our lives with God. We need to rise up as the body of Christ and be what God has created us to be and grab hold of the now moment and walk out his calling. Pastor Josh Jamison references Joel 3:18 'And it will come to pass on that day that the mountains will drip with new wine and the hills shall flow with milk and all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water, a fountain shall flow from the house of the lord and water the valley of the acacias.' This is a promise of God for 'that day' where there have been some 'that days' that have come to pass already, furthermore we are living in that day today! Josh also references Amos 9:13 'behold the days are coming says the Lord when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows seed. The mountains shall drip with sweet wine and all the hills shall flow with it. We need to flow into the things of God as he is causing his things to flow through us as Christians. We need to learn how to flow in a now moment the revelations and anointing need to be released. Man is spirit soul and body as we are created in God's image by the spirit I am saved in my soul, there is a place where we are not conformed to the image of this world but we are transformed by the renewing of our mind and then one day my body will be saved and raised in righteousness, our spirit and our soul will be saved as Christians one day.

When we are passionate about God and his people god can do great things through us. All of what God does is hanging on love. We can get passionate about Football, baseball, and even politics at times ,Melissa referring to herself states "I have to reign myself in sometimes I'm not a politician I'm a Christian somebody that's a disciple of the lord and I want my passions to reflect him (God) we want God to be our passion as first place in our life. Some of us live for this their sports. There is nothing wrong with watching the next hockey game that comes on TV or going from one sport to the next. However if sports or politics for example consumes your life and supersedes what you are passionate for over the lord than something else has your focus and attention. God wants our whole attention and whole heart with a passion and desire. When we are passionate for God we are the chief benefactors when we walk in that and we are the ones who receive the greatest benefit. Matthew 22:37 "Jesus said love the lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. This is the most important the first on any list but there is a second set alongside it love others as you love yourself" We see how we can function in life and walk in liberty we are in bondage because of our own desires. When we desire God that's when we experience a place of freedom God has plans to bless us, prosper us, and give us a future and a hope. Unless we are passionate for him (God) were not going to receive those plans if we don't mix it with the faith that God has thus we don't have faith unless we get into his presence. Were to be separate from the world we don't have eyes for the world we have eyes for God which is a beneficial separation. The grace of God turns every commandment into a promise.

When we believe is when we activate what the Lord says also when we grab a hold of it and believe with our whole heart. Pastor Josh references John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." When we continue in God's presence and he works in us there are things that are impossible to men but are possible when we get in the word and God works in us. Melissa Jamison adds that God tells us trust in me. Hebrews 11:1-3 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." Ultimately the lord is our example in this where his word came forth in this. Faith became the substance of what God hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. The Worlds were created and all of creation was birthed for by the faith of God. We are to follow in his example as we are created in his image. We can know the will of God by getting into his word and his will is to heal us, set us free, deliver us, and bring us peace where there was none and to give us a hope and a future where before it felt like we didn't have any.

We want to be God pleasers. Pastor Josh Jamison states Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God. Luke 18:27 "the things which are impossible with men are possible with God." Faith says it's there if we believe and receive we will possess. The implanted word will change your life and the truth that you know will make you free. Melissa references Jeremiah 32:27 "I am the Lord the God of all mankind is there anything too hard for me". Putting both scriptures together you can do a lot of things with those scriptures with the situations in our lives also referencing Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." We spend time with God by praying and talking to him and we overcome obstacles in our life through faith. The Lord calls us to manage our lives to bridle our body to be those who walk in the word of truth as the word of God would be in our hearts because we've been exposed to the word. Get the word of the Bible in you it will change your life, change your speech, and change how you feel about yourself and about the world instead of a world that becomes this problem that is always there. We see an opportunity to love like God loves and to walk in the victory as Jesus was an over comer on our behalf. God called David a man after his own heart. God sees us with the fullness of Christ on the inside of us. James 1:2-4 "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.'

Melissa Jamison explains "My word isn't truth to salvation his word (God's) is the truth we need". God says be like me you were created in my image. We need to change the way our mind engages sometimes, even as a Christian we engage in thoughts that we shouldn't engage into. Married couples can sometimes take love and turn it into hate as the thoughts that sometimes rise up. Satan will try to pull us away from the things of God, the enemy (Satan) tries to destroy families and tear relationships apart. "Love is God hate is not." referencing a kindergarten phrase. We have to choose to love and make a decision to love even when we don't feel like it, and choose on how we can be an example like Christ is. Pastor Josh Jamison references 1st Peter 1:13 "Therefore gird up the loins of your mind be sober and rest your hope fully on the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Christ Jesus." Ultimately that is the revelation when Christ comes back or when we die to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We are also called to walk in a revelation of Jesus on an ongoing basis that we would understand the word know the word of truth and a rest as well as a grace will be given to us. God has called us as Christians to create an atmosphere where people get saved. That is an atmosphere of grace, faith, and where the Lord touches down on our lives and we begin to transcend this carnality then begin to walk in the spirit and walk in the fullness of being sons of God. Josh goes on to reference Psalm 33:8-9 "Let the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake and it was done; he commanded and it stood fast. The Lord has called us to grow in holiness set apart and used by God to touch people's lives. God's word is his word not man's word the authority in God's word is evident referencing Psalm 33:8-9 reinforcing the verse then referring to when God says something it always takes place Hebrews 1:3 "Who being in the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power when he himself purged our sins sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high." The word has the integrity of God contained in it and that's where we trust in the word of God it changes our life instead of serving ourselves. Numbers 23:19 'God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Pastor Josh Jamison opens on the renewing of our minds through the word referencing the Bible verse 2nd peter 1:21 for prophecy never came by the will of man but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the holy spirit." 2nd timothy 3:16 "all scripture is given by inspiration of God" Josh goes on to explain we are God driven when we get into the word and the word causes us to advance and move forward. Melissa adds "Sometimes we need a jumpstart there is a 1001 things that we can think of during our days and during the week" As our minds are filled with something to keep us occupied "are we going to be a disciple of our mind or a disciple of God". We want to be a Christ disciple of God further explaining how we get there is by using the word (Bible) and to hear the word of God then performing the word of God in our everyday lives. Our minds are bombarded with negative thoughts and images as well as things when we were taught as a kid can have some negative thought impact that can cause depression. There shouldn't be Christians walking around depressed all the time this is not meant to bring condemnation to people struggling with depression in the body of Christ but instead to know there is a higher road and a higher place to look towards. Our minds will be the same if we are not renewing them with the word of God in the Bible. Pastor Josh Jamison states when we renew our mind in the word (Bible) we program it to the thoughts of God we get thoughts of power, faith, boldness, healing the good things we want in our life and ultimately we have a foundation to be used by him (God). Joshua 1:8 "this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth ,but you shall medicate in it day and night that you may observe and do all that is written in it for then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have success." We don't speak many repetitive words so the lord would hear us it is rather so our mind will be renewed as we possess the mind of Christ changing our mind to line up with Christ's. Romans 10:17 "so then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
