2 Cor. 3:18 You are changed from glory to glory by the spirit of God as you think say and mediate on: "I love God". God breaks, crushes, destroys, every other yoke off your back!
Acts 1: 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the (God is going to give you his power, the power of) Holy Spirit.”
New Born Christian the First Step and the Last Step are the same. Part II
Freedom from All Bondages!
Isaiah 58 Ministries March 23,2013
Pastor: Leah Svensson
Theme
Someone once told me, “never ask someone to do something you wouldn't be willing to
do yourself.” I have applied that principle here. Everything written within this teaching we, at Isaiah 58 Ministries, have individually done. What we are teaching here is the means to total freedom and a life with God. Now some of us have been working on this for 12 years, others just a year. We pray that our time and effort put into researching true Christianity, true Salvation that comes from God, will make your journey a lot shorter. It takes so long because we have Heavy 50 Ton Yoke not is not from God. A political system in America that attacked the world in the early 1900’s. It is Communism, a lighter version of communism that has leached onto America is socialism mixed with feminism, Freudism, atheism, & Capitalism. All of these “ism” want to control what everyone is doing, thinking, and living. They start in Public schools to teach their ways. They teach through radio, TV, music, “Fear” of the government, IRS, the courts, laws, experiences, etc. All of this has to be unlearned. It really isn’t that hard to get started. You just have to start with one thing God teaches that the world doesn‘t teach. God’s ways are the opposite of mankind. Mankind, without God, is a filthy brute beast, a thieving perverted barbarian, a wild dirty animal.
taken from Part I: [Jesus/God’s Yoke is his leadership, his training. He wants to give you an education that comes “Only” from God. It is also God giving you a pay check, medical insurance, benefits, etc. He will pay you to work for him. He will keep you healthy, well. How? In goats, chickens, land, fruits, veggies, children, a house, horses, sound mind which equals a sound body, and good teeth etc. God wants to be the company you work for. What God wants you to do for him, “His burden” is light.. Not hard, not heavy not binding but freeing….you from earthly bondage, walls put up in your mind to contain you in submission. .Matthew 11: 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”]
taken from Part I: [That seems a little drastic. But when you love God with everything in you and as you are connected to God this way he gives you back something: Everything!!!! Clean, healed, not broken, friends, healed, family members healed, eye sight healed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything….]
Matthew 6: 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Sermon
The first step towards salvation is: Trust God. It is also every step you take until the day you die then God comes and takes you to heaven to live with him for eternity.
John15:5
"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

Michelle wrote on facebook: Wow! Stay connected to God! Plug into his electrical outlet, you will never lack the power you need to to operate the power tools he has given you! (Tools: Brain, faith, hope, love, arms, legs, heart, eyes, etc.) They all run on the electrical currents of Loving god. I Love God!!
If you have a TV or a refrigerator you can easily understand this concept. For they both need to be plugged into the outlet or they will not work. So it is with mankind. Mankind, without God doesn't function correctly. Man is dysfunctional without God. So a TV is worthless without power, you can sit in front of it but you will not see or hear anything. A Refrigerator with food in it, without electricity, will cause the food to rot.
Mankind, without God, is a filthy brute beast, a thieving perverted barbarian, a wild dirty animal. Everything he touches, thinks does, sucks the life out of the earth, out of animals, and most importantly, people without God suck the life out of everyone.
As human beings we are going to be in submission, yoked, under the leadership of someone or something no matter what we do. As soon as we are born we are enslaved to the government, Capitalist, even friends and family members who have an evil eye. Their eyes are evil, they think evil thoughts. People who have hidden thoughts of taking something from you, who plan, scheme, manipulate, lie, hurt your feelings, etc. These people “see” what you have and want it for themselves, or they want to destroy what you have, or they want and wish you were dead.
Matthew 6:22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
People with an evil eye love money, not God.
They are bond servants of the devil.
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
We are kept dependent by being kept in a weakened state of mind…. It doesn’t matter how many college degrees you have or even if you have memorized the dictionary and encyclopedia without God you are in a weaken state of mind because you are not plugging your mind into the mind of God…
See John 10:10 The thief comes into our lives to steal, kill and destroy. These people even use forces you do not see to “touch” you and to make you think and do things a sound minded person would not do. Trillions of dollars deficit is government is not sound minded but we all have it. Why? Because we are unplugged from the power and strength of God. We are plugged into, dependent upon Opec, we are dependent on government, social security, we are dependent on a pay check from work, we are dependent on the electric company, the list goes on forever……
These people are sucking the very life out of us…..Jesus said in John 10:10 I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
All life comes from God. I am talking about the life, happiness, joy and freedom from the bondage, yoke, of evil eyed people who suck out of you!!! They drain you, hurt you, deceive, control, etc.
Jesus is:
John 1: 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
If you are plugged into/ dependent on anything that does not get it’s power from God you will have something wrong with you.
We have to think, say and dwell on “I love God”. Loving God is where the Holy Spirit of God leads. Where the Spirit is, there is freedom, liberty, from everything!!! Read your Bible Son…. Peter said
Acts 1: 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the (God is going to give you his power, the power of) Holy Spirit.”
Acts2:17 In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
2Cr 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [vail] is done away in Christ.2Cr 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.2Cr 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.2Cr 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is]liberty.2Cr 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
You are changed from glory to glory by the spirit of God as you think say and mediate on: "I love God". God backs every other yoke off your back!
Acts 5:12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. 14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.
Acts 5:15 above: “Peter’s shadow might fall on some,” Peter was so free, he was so fully dependent on God, He was so filled and following the leadership of the Holy Spirit that people were healed by Peter’s shadow…. Peter loved God with everything that was in him!! His every thought was, “I love God.” Why? Because where the Spirit of Almighty God is there is freedom!!!! 2 Corinthians 3:17 Where the Spirit of the Lord is freedom from every bondage!! It is easy, sooooooooooooooo, easy, a two old child can do this!!!! Just before you think, do, say anything. Think: “I love God”
Jesus made sure Peter had a firm grip on this teaching. As the head of the Body of Christ Peter was charge to teach this same thing to the whole Body of Christ..
John 21:15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” pharaphrase: Teach them to think, say and mediate on: I Love God!
16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” Teach them to think, say and mediate on: I Love God!
17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” Teach them to think, say and mediate on:
I Love God!
Peter said three times:
“I love God!”
Peter yielded his life so much to the leadership of the Holy Spirit that people were healed when his shadow fell on them.
Peter also protected the Holy Spirit from those who would injure the Holy Spirit. In this Peter caused death to come on two people instead of life.
Acts 5:4 What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died.
Acts5:9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died.
Rev 1:15……… his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
Rev 2:12 These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Double edge sword: From the notion that two sides of the same blade are sharp — it cuts both ways. Or meaning there are good and bad consequences.
Peter yielded his life so much to the leadership of the Holy Spirit that people were healed when his shadow fell on them.
Peter also protected the Holy Spirit from those who would injure the Holy Spirit. In this Peter caused death to come on two people instead of life.
To trust God every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every month of every year is simply love him….. “I love God”
Everyone knows God loves them but what has been missing since the early 1900’s is people loving God. Perfect love cast out fear. Love never fails. Two scriptures that set us free from bondage. When we are in bondage we fear something. Faith, hope, and love are the opposite of fear. To dissipate fear we need this perfect love.
Jesus died for me that I may love God, know him and he bestows upon me His Spirit which totally sets me free from anything. Peter walked out of jail.
What is not faith is sin, or fearful, dead, has no life in it. A food expert once said, “stay on the outside of the grocery store where the refrigeration is because if it doesn’t need to be refrigerated there is no life giving nourishment in the food, it is junk.” That is the same thing about loving God, He is the source of all life.
1 John 4:13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Romans 14:22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
End Note: The love of God and loving God is not the same love that you have today or you would be perfectly healthy and sinless! The world thinks that if you love someone and they love sports you buy them sports items on Christmas and birthdays. This is an earthly love it doesn't come from above but is earthly. Most marriages in America are based on an earthly love. It did not take faith in God to marry the person. So if a spouse dies it is easy to marry again because the marriage was never based on a heavenly union. Until you start practicing a 24/7/365 routine of saying, “I love God”, you really cannot understand what I am writing. When God’s spirit starts to move on your mind to set you free: your life literally passes by your eyes over and over again, as your thoughts become one with God and you find yourself dead to this world but seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus.
Made Alive in Christ
Ephesians 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh [fn1] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Phillipians 3:17 Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Living as Those Made Alive in Christ
Colossians 3:1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other,
When God’s spirit starts to move on your mind to set you free: your life literally passes by your eyes over and over again, as your thoughts become one with God and you find yourself dead to this world but seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. You are filled with the light and life of God.
