   Jul 26, 2010 · 30m

   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.

   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?

3. E23. Faith

   Aug 9, 2010 · 30m

   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

4. E24. Faith, Part 2

   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.

5. E25. Passion for the Lord

   Aug 23, 2010 · 30m

   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.

6. E26. Aligning yourself in the things of God

   Aug 30, 2010 · 30m

   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.
