Pastor: Leah Svensson

Scriptures: Matthew 28:18-20, Luke 4:18, 2 Corinthians 2:24-26, John 5:17, 1 Thessalonians 1:3-4, 1 Peter 1:17, 1 John 3:4-10, Luke 10:17-20, Ezekiel 28:12-18, Isaiah 14:12-14, Matthew 22:36,  Matthew 6:4

Mat 28:18	And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority/power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Mat 28:19	Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of  the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Mat 28:20	teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”                                                 Power                                                      (part 2 of 2)                                                                                      Get rid of all the  voices in your  head:  that cause any kind of fear of authority. (authority, experts, bosses, dominating, tyranny see below) Jesus has all authority/power whether you are in heaven or on the earth. So the prerequisite for anyone, whether you are 9 months old or 102, to have any power or authority on earth or to pray, having authority in heaven: is to be in submission to God ONLY!            To submit to God is to realize that God through Jesus does everything right, is the smartest, and is the strongest person on earth; thus surrendering to God knowing; You need God's guidance on everything, you need him for everything, You can not do anything correctly without God. Angelic Warrior        transformation from angel to Devil (Ezekiel 28:12-18)Satan was perfect, without doing anything wrong and a beautiful angel in heaven at one time. Satan made a mistake he filled his heart with pride about himself. Satan thought about "me, myself and I". He turned away from the beauty and glory of God not realizing without looking at God, Satan was no longer perfect or beautiful.        The bible says, (1 John 3:4-10) that anyone that practices sinning is of the devil. That means that when a person looks away from God, like the devil did, they are being prideful and and trying to put their self above God. (Isaiah 14:12-14)  A fallen human wants to replace God. Not just for one's self but a fallen person wants to give laws, rules, and authority over everything and everyone in heaven and earth. I.E.  In the founding of this nation the people of America told the King of England he could not be their King because he put himself above the laws of God the King would stop the people from using Godly wholesome laws from the Bible..  The King wanted people to obey him, worship him, be in subjection to him instead of God.  The King said he had a divine right of absolute authority from God. A "right" that was made up, it did not  come from God. Also the king did a great deal of sinning. A lot of people claim "rights" that they don't have. Rights that "Don't exist". You have to prove your right comes from God using the "whole"-some Bible.        Get rid of all the voices in your head:               The same thing goes for anyone on earth who thinks they can "make" people do things or cause people to "obey" them.  Children do not really obey their parents. Children need their parents like parents need God, to love them, guide them, teach them, provide for them, keep them safe.  But no one is a slave to another person. Especially to those who have turned from looking at God, at his beauty, his perfection.       I was thinking to myself the other day how perfect God is.  I sent out a message on facebook:            The greatest, the highest quality, the book that is Superior to all other books: The Holy Bible. Which lifts men to the highest of character and being. Censorship of one of the best works of literature, the best written use of the English language, the most footnoted, correctly punctuated (has no errors!), the most researched, indexed and quoted- it even numbers every sentence! Universities are most definitely lowering their standards for literature. I'm sure they have every copy of 1st grade readers and comic books to replace the top selling book, the book that has sold the most copies- world wide- since the beginning of the printing press! The stupidity of the courts and those who want freedom from religion, (which is impossible because of the first amendment which guarantees freedom of religion!) is unfathomable!           Anyone who thinks they are "somebody" without God is literally dumb, retarded, (without understanding, having no useful knowledge): the one who has sunk to the lowest standards and the most ignorant person on the face of the earth.  God is perfect.  God is superior to everyone, everything.  God made everything, God created everything.          side note: Matt has a new video coming out that will show the American people, (the church), how far they have missed the mark.  How far away from understanding God that they are convincing themselves by (confession) that they are going to heaven when they are on their way to hell. Satan is very crafty.   Look for Matt's video coming out soon.                                                                                   So how do ordinary people turn back to God to be clean, perfect, holy, without sin , (1 John 3:4-10 people who can not sin),Saints in a world where men believe it is their "God given right", to be like the devil instead of the truth. The only God given "right" is to be children of God. Evil, sinful men believe they are like the King of England, above the laws of God, and insist everyone must worship, obey and give them homage, ([Homage:obey their sinfilled laws, pay taxes, give them our time,(40 hour a week) servitude, {servitude: go to school or work and have some one give you work to do}]). Get rid of all the voices in your  head:                    Those Goliaths, “experts”; mother,  father, teachers, lawyers, laws, bosses, company policies, stock market  advice. Get rid of all advice like;   1. the "work ethic", or 2."good children go to school and get  good grades" etc.   Those two laws that American's live by are contrary to the Bible. They  are anti-Christ, anti-God.  You have to think deep and remember almost every  scripture to overcome these spells, brain washing. Laws not of God cause you to  break the  most important: the first Commandment:         Matthew 22:36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.     If you break the first commandment you have broken all the commandments.  Then you become a sinner instead of a Saint          The above two laws tell our minds to seek  the approval of men because" they care  for us, for our family, they protect us  and our family, we must obey these laws  made up by strangers/people"                                                                        or we think we are lazy, bad and will end up  homeless and penniless.  Penniless because  these two laws serve the god of "money",  manna.  Jesus said you can not serve  God and mammon/money.      Matthew 6:4 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.      In the Old Testament God is always telling the Israelites that they are having an affair, committing adultery.  I could never understand that until I understood that Men are to be married to God and bring forth his children like a woman brings forth the child conceived by her husbands seed.             Get rid of all the voices in  your head:                Whoever is still putting food on your table, (work  place), grading you, (your boss), approving your  work, grading your papers and giving you a report  card, (a reward like a paycheck), to let you know  whether you are a good person, a bad person, or  a medium person.  With God we are all equal!        You are accountable to only one person, God!  When you die God will ask you:  "Why? did you do": “about  everything you have ever done or said”    We are Saints The answer has to be," I saw Jesus  doing it!"  and then I did it.   Just like Jesus said: John 5: 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”    I/we can only listen to Jesus, I/we can only Think about Jesus. For in thinking about Jesus “all power” and intelligience for a sound mind flows through us to ourselves, others, our nation. “Only” when we are thinking/looking at Jesus.          When you think about someone close to you, you  see their face in your mind, you hear their voice, you  receive their love. It is the same with Jesus. You  don’t get a face but “an impression” of Jesus on your  soul, You read his word he wrote on your heart and  in your mind. You need to think about Jesus,  love /Jesus!   God writes his laws on our heart and  fills us with his love, his power and  heals our souls making them filled  with clean, pure, holy, powerful thoughts.    Everything is Yes, Amen!                                GOOD NEWS  !!!!!!!!! Then you have "all" the authority and  power in heaven and on the earth!   The strongest human on earth!!!! References: Luke 10:17 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18 And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”1 John 3:4-10 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s [ seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother      On the day that you were created They were prepared. "You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. "You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created, Until unrighteousness was found in you. "By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire. "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you. "By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade, You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you. (Ezekiel 28:12-18) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isaiah 14:12-14)

 For now Get rid of all the voices in your head:  Those “experts”, mother, teacher, etc.  Whoever is still grading you, approving your work, grading your papers and giving you a report card to let you know whether you are a good person, a bad person, or a medium person. With God we are all equal!   You are accountable to only one person, God!  When you die God will ask you:” Why” did you do “about everything you have ever done or said”  The answer has to be I saw Jesus doing it and then I did it.  Just like Jesus said:

John 5: 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

Part II coming soon:  I only listen to Jesus, I only Think about Jesus. For “all power” flows through us to ourselves, others, our nation “only” when we are thinking/looking at Jesus.

When you think about someone close to you, you see their face in your mind, you hear their voice, you receive their love. It is the same with Jesus. You don’t get a face but “an impression” of Jesus on your soul, You need to think about Jesus, love /Jesus!  Part II coming!   

God's Justice Heals!!!

Scriptures: Isaiah 62:11-13, Matthew 18:6-7, Isaiah 64:1-25, Zephaniah 3:8-9, & 14-20, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10

God’s Justice Heals!!!!

Many of us struggle everyday. We want to follow God but somehow fall short. I’m here to encourage you to continue on, strong in the Lord!!! Your salvation is near to come!!  His reward is with Him!!! This is the year of redemption!!! Praise God!! But how does that redemption come? It comes through knowing that your persecutors and abusers will be brought down, punished, and the innocent set free!!!

Isaiah 62:11-12

¹¹ Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the Daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes [in the person of the Lord]; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work and recompense before Him.

¹² And they shall call them the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you shall be called Sought Out, a City Not Forsaken.

63:4 ⁴ For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and My year of redemption [the year of My redeemed] has come.

⁷ I will recount the loving-kindnesses of the Lord and the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and the great goodness to the house of Israel, which He has granted them according to His mercy and according to the multitude of His loving-kindnesses.

⁸ For He said, Surely they are My people, sons who will not lie [who will not deal falsely with Me]; and so He was to them a Savior [in all their distresses].

⁹ In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.

Vs14 ¹⁴ Like the cattle that go down into the valley [to find better pasturage, refuge, and rest], the Spirit of the Lord caused them to rest. So did You lead Your people [Lord] to make for Yourself a beautiful and glorious name [to prepare the way for the acknowledgment of Your name by all nations].

Caption to left reads: Don't be an accomplice. Denounce child abuse.
        Like many, I had a childhood rotting with fear, anguish and pain. I have battled through and gone back to that young girl burdened with guilt that was not her own. To those who put their sin on me, on my mom, on my family- I say “take it back upon you.” My Lord said that those who cause innocents to sin have committed an act deserving of the greatest punishment. This is why God punishes them more.

Matthew 18:6   “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.⁷ Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
   

    Those who get people addicted but are not addicts themselves, (like a pimp, child abuser, womanizer), cause others to sin and it is very hard to get set free. Those who sin of their own choice can repent easily. Those forced into sin struggle. These are sins you hear about when people say “I  am struggling with this or that.” Jesus came to set the captives free ONCE AND FOR ALL. When you repent and turn from your wicked ways- that’s it- Christ and God’s power are in you. Now, you have to work out your salvation and find where others have taken over your mind.

1.) for some sin is a choice

2.) for others they are captive and need a miracle

Jesus is YOUR MIRACLE!!!

Isaiah 64: 1-25 Oh, that You would rend the heavens and that You would come down, that the mountains might quake and flow down at Your presence—

² As when fire kindles the brushwood and the fire causes the waters to boil—to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!

³ When You did terrible things which we did not expect, You came down; the mountains quaked at Your presence.

⁴ For from of old no one has heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who works and shows Himself active on behalf of him who [earnestly] waits for Him.

⁵ You meet and spare him who joyfully works righteousness (uprightness and justice), [earnestly] remembering You in Your ways. Behold, You were angry, for we sinned; we have long continued in our sins [prolonging Your anger]. And shall we be saved?

⁶ For we have all become like one who is unclean [ceremonially, like a leper], and all our righteousness (our best deeds of rightness and justice) is like filthy rags or a polluted garment; we all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away [far from God’s favor, hurrying us toward destruction].

    You need JUSTICE, and God promises to bring it to you!!! God is great and controls the weather, earthquakes, ect.  And He will bring you justice!

⁸ Yet, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our Potter, and we all are the work of Your hand.

⁹ Do not be exceedingly angry, O Lord, or [seriously] remember iniquity forever. Behold, consider, we beseech You, we are all Your people.

65:8 Thus says the Lord: As the juice [of the grape] is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it, so will I do for My servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.

Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold,

My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry;

behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty;

behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame.

¹⁴ Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry out for pain and sorrow of heart and shall wail and howl for anguish, vexation, and breaking of spirit.

¹⁵ And you will leave your name to My chosen [to those who will use it] for a curse; and the Lord God will slay you, but He will call His servants by another name [as much greater than the former name as the name Israel was greater than the name Jacob].

              

I am going to get my family’s NAME BACK- it is full of perverts and homewreckers, adulterers, fornicators, and liars… but that is NOT MY NAME and God is going to give me back my family name and then RENAME ME!!!!

¹⁶ So [it shall be] that he who invokes a blessing on himself in the land shall do so by saying, May the God of truth and fidelity [the Amen] bless me; and he who takes an oath in the land shall swear by the God of truth and faithfulness to His promises [the Amen], because the former troubles are forgotten and because they are hidden from My eyes.

¹⁷ For behold, I create  new heavens and a new earth. And the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.

¹⁸ But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a rejoicing and her people a joy.

¹⁹ And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; and the sound of weeping will no more be heard in it, nor the cry of distress.

²⁰ There shall no more be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who dies prematurely; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner who dies when only a hundred years old shall be [thought only a child, cut off because he is] accursed.

LET THERE BE LIFE!! God will restore life and health to the old and young!!

²¹ They shall build houses and inhabit them,

and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.

²² They shall not build and another inhabit;

they shall not plant and another eat [the fruit]. For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, and My chosen and elect shall long make use of and enjoy the work of their hands.

²³ They shall not labor in vain or bring forth [children] for sudden terror or calamity; for they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.

²⁴ And it shall be that before they call I will answer; and while they are yet speaking I will hear.

²⁵ The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy Mount [Zion], says the Lord.

          Children are a blessing but when you are stuck in the world and the world’s system, they die early or there is fear and distress. When we have the vengeance of God- his natural defenses working in our behalf, we build homes and plant and work hard and the fruit of our labor is OURS!!! No one can take that from us for God has given it to us!! Then we are at peace and children are a MAJOR BLESSING!

Zephaniah 3:8-9

⁸ Therefore [earnestly] wait for Me, says the Lord, [waiting] for the day when I rise up to the attack [as a witness, accuser, or judge, and a testimony]. For My decision and determination and right it is to gather the nations together, to assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them My indignation, even all [the heat of] My fierce anger; for [in that day] all the earth shall be consumed with the fire of My zeal and jealousy.

⁹ For then [changing their impure language] I will give to the people a clear and pure speech from pure lips, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one unanimous consent and one united shoulder [bearing the yoke of the Lord]. – IN ONE ACCORD!

           Have you done things or said things you are ashamed of? Have you let impurity come out in your actions or words? God wants to bring you justice and then change your language. Sometimes we cannot control our words. I have Christian friends who used curse words- their minds are still darkened. They need justice- It is God’s determination to consume evil with his jealousy… and the righteous, those who are seeking God with their whole hearts…they will have their purity back- their God given clear, clean minds and actions!!! Praise God!!!

Zephaniah 3:14-20

¹⁴ Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice, be in high spirits and glory with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem [in that day].

¹⁵ [For then it will be that] the Lord has taken away the judgments against you; He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, even the Lord [Himself], is in the midst of you; [and after He has come to you] you shall not experience or fear evil any more.

¹⁶ In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear not, O Zion. Let not your hands sink down or be slow and listless- DO NOT LET YOUR HANDS BE WEAK

¹⁷ The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing.

¹⁸ I will gather those belonging to you [those Israelites in captivity] who yearn and grieve for the solemn assembly [and the festivals], on whom [their exile and inability to attend services at Jerusalem have brought derision and] the reproach of it is a burden.

¹⁹ Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you; I will save the limping [ones] and gather the outcasts and will make them a praise and a name in every land of their shame.

²⁰ At that time I will bring you in; yes, at that time I will gather you, for I will make you a name and a praise among all the nations of the earth when I reverse your captivity before your eyes, says the Lord.

     

   I get sick thinking of the sin around me, the sin forced upon me and my brothers and sisters in Christ. The only way we will ever truly be set free is when we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is going to punish the wrongs done against us, forgive us and save us!! We start by REJOICING in God- knowing HE will deal with those who afflict us.

1 Thesselonians 5:1-10

 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. ² For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. ³ While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. ⁴ But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. ⁵ For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. ⁶ So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.⁷ For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. ⁸ But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. ⁹ For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁰ who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. ¹¹ Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

 

     There are times and seasons and those in the Lord are sensitive to those times. Right now our nation is on the brink of Godly punishment. Too many innocents have died in the abortion holocaust. Too many children are being abused at home. Too many children are being thrust into daycares and stripped from their mother’s arms. Those who set out to undermine the moral fiber of this country, those who wished to subvert the Christian undertones of all our laws in societies… the Hubbards, the Crowley’s… led people like my predecessors, those who should have loved and protected me- led them to turn away from God and cause me to grow up in a nation straining to hang onto God. These are the people God will bring judgment upon. These are the people his wrath is kindled against- those who cause others to sin.

   To everyone else, God will change you and transform you and let you be the person you have always wanted to be. Whatever sins have you twisted up- God is mighty to save!!! Know God is a God of justice, keep telling the truth, keep rejoicing in Him and trust that 

He will bring you to that place of peace and security he promises to those who love Him and call upon His name in Truth!!
