NOTHING – NO MAN, NO DEVIL CAN STOP THIS!
Just as no man, no devil could possibly stop the resurrection of Christ, no entity or army can stop the resurrection life of Christ in His saints, as they submit to their own death and burial. Resurrection follows!
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
Jesus had to first be crucified, to consent to His own death, and to be buried before He could burst forth from that tomb!
If we are to rise, if we are to be raised up into any work or warfare, let it only come out of the crucified – the dead and buried – posture! The cross life is the life, the divine economy of the kingdom of Christ (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20, etc.). There was no other way for man to be redeemed than for our LORD Jesus to come and die for His fallen race – and there is no other way to serve God than by way of the cross! Jesus conquered death by dying and then was raised up in divine resurrection power by the Holy Ghost – who now indwells every saint of Christ in the earth! (See Hebrews 2:14; Romans 8:11)
One writer notes:
“It is by dying, not by killing or retaliating with human power, that we conquer (Rom 8:35-37). Victory is truly attained only by killed-conquerors. God and we never conquer with earthly weapons, by earthly threat, force or violence (2 Cor 10:1-5; Eph 6:12-18). Romans 8:36: ‘KILLED all day long as sheep led to slaughter’ and then Rom 8:37:’in all these things (the things that kill us all day long) we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS. Hence we are KILLED-CONQUERORS.
“We ‘resist not evil’ in any earthly way of resistance. We resist it in a heavenly way. In this heavenly way, we ‘war a good warfare’ and are good ‘soldiers’ of the cross. The cross and its mindset are our main weapons.
“We extinguish the blows of evil by absorbing those blows and returning agape love in exchange. We extinguish the smiter’s blow by turning the other cheek not by smiting back against his cheek. We know that to take up our sword against evil is to be destroyed by our sword (Matt 26:52). This destruction is what happened to Satan (Heb 2:14).
“We repay evil with the ‘vengeance and wrath of God’ by pouring ‘burning coals’ of wrath on the heads of our enemies when we love them by feeding them when they are hungry and giving them a drink when they are thirsty.
“Rom 12:17-21 @v20. God’s and our vengeance against evil is to love people who don’t deserve it as did Jesus and His Father at the cross. We kill with kindness and overcome evil with good.”
Down and Out? No! Down and UP!
In the world, we have this saying, “down and out” and yet, in Christ kingdom, as we submit to Him in the cross, it’s more like a “Down and UP”! Death. Burial. Resurrection. That’s the rhythm of the Gospel transpiring in our daily lives. We are not knocked out but rather knocked down in death and burial, and raised up in His grace! Down and Up! No down and out! Was this not the case with Paul the beloved?
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
The cross makes us weak, especially in our “thorn in the flesh” afflictions, seasons of trying, trial. It is then, when we are weak – dead and buried with Christ, when we are laid low – that the resurrection grace of God raises us upward in His divine power and for His great glory! (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)
There is no such thing as “living the Christian life” outside of the cross life Jesus mandates and out of which He raises up His people!
For just a moment, let your mind reflect upon Galatians 5, beginning in the resurrection truth of verse 1. Freedom from law and sin and the law of sin and death, and walking in the Spirit and not the works of the flesh, is only through the cross life – Galatians 5:1-26. Verse 24 is the cross! Bam. Read Galatians 5.
“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Galatians 5:24
Nothing can undo the first coming of Christ!
As sure as He came the first time, so shall He come again!
Nothing can undo or prevent the soon return, the second coming of Christ for His people and to crush His enemies!
Nothing can stop God from raising up that man who will humbly, worshipfully, obediently submit to Him by laying down his life in this fleeting world – by walking crucified, dead and buried with Christ!
Nothing can stop the work of Christ in the lives of His beloved people – and His “remnant” people are known in that they obey Him by denying self, taking up the cross daily, and following Him – on His terms! The Gospel of the cross – the death, burial, and resurrection, is all over Holy Scripture. Catch this…. see it?
“And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward (death and burial), and bear fruit upward (resurrection):” Isaiah 37:31
Nothing can stop the resurrection of Christ in your life as you lay it down for His glory! As Jesus burst forth, so shall you!
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:11
As Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, so the Father quickens, raises up the lives of each and every one of His disciples – all who are dead and buried with Christ today! Prayerfully declare right now that “LORD, I am dead and my life is hid with Christ in God!” (Colossians 3:3)
God counteracts death by the promise of resurrection – now and in eternity! (1 Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
Conformity to the Crucified Image of Christ Guarantees Reciprocal Divine Resurrection
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:3-11
The depths of your death and burial will determine the heights of His resurrection grace in your life.
Go down deep beloved and God will raise you upward for His glory!
This is the Gospel key to full victory, overcoming, and powerful ministry.
Divine grace goes far beyond unmerited favor in initial salvation! Let’s peer into this glorious grace of our God and Savior Jesus Christ!
TODAY: The glorious grace of our God is working in each and every one of His beloved abiding saints today! “The MANIFOLD grace of God” is beyond description in human terms (1 Peter 4:10). Grab this saints. Life changer! | Grace!
Abiding in Christ. Growing in God’s grace!
Whenever God commands something, He also provides the grace for it to manifest in your life – as you are submitted to Him (James 4:6-10; 1 Peter 4:10-11). His grace, divine enablement, operational power, is always sufficient to bring His perfect will to pass in our lives and to bring us through any and all difficulties, the grueling seasons we may find ourselves in! Read 2 Corinthians 9:8; 12:9-10; 1 Peter 5:10.
Do you have more faith in sin than you do in the saving grace of Christ to give you the victory over it? That is a perverted faith! Flip your faith! Repent and renew your mind, asking God to forgive you afresh and thanking Him aloud for His all-sufficient grace He provided through Christ’s perfect sacrifice on that cross! (Romans 6:14)
Are you indicting God by saying His grace, His divine enablement is NOT sufficient for His perfect will to be manifested in your life?
God will Raise you up – when you lay it all down! (James 4:6-10)
The only way for the divine grace, the anointing of God to abide upon us and to powerfully work through us, is the cross. Consenting to death and burial guarantees His raising upward. Paul, who penned the words, “I am crucified with Christ,” told us that it was the bless-ed, the mighty grace of God that worked in and through Him (Galatians 2:20; 1 Corinthians 15:10). The power of God works to bless His people and reach the lost only as we consent to His leading in being crucified with Christ, dead and buried, and as He reciprocally raises us upward in His resurrection grace. Pour over 2 Corinthians 4:10-12.
“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10
Empowerment – God’s Way
The divine power generator for the life of the disciple and all ministry is the cross (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
The word “empowerment” is heard often today, yet not according to the em-powerment, the infusing of divine power that comes out of the death and burial Christ calls us to.
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
Growing in His Multiplied Grace
The LORD desires to “multiply” his grace to your life today. Ask Him. Father, we come in Jesus’ Name and ask You to multiply Your grace to Your people today. | Grace
“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,” 2 Peter 1:2
“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18

Warn them from Me:: The 3 Things Paul did to Protect God’s People [podcast]
Abiding
“Lord, I Believe; Help Thou Mine Unbelief” [podcast]
“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:23-24
God wants us to depend on HIM, not self. What a prayer from this father who was seeking Jesus for his possessed, embattled son!
“And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:24
Now that is a great prayer for us today—“Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Mark 9:24
Is this not kin to the prayer Christ’s disciples prayed to Him—“And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5) ?
Some ask “Lord, how can I increase MY faith?”
Read that again.
It’s not how I can increase my faith! No. That is all self-centered. We pray as did the apostles, “Lord, Increase our faith.” In other words, You do it please dear LORD!
There are two ways the Word prescribes that we walk in more faith:
Asking for it (Luke 17:5)
Reading and heeding the Word for it—“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).
“9:24 The father expressed the paradox of faith and unbelief experienced by God’s people in all ages. ‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!’ We want to believe, yet find ourselves filled with doubt. We hate this inward, unreasonable contradiction, yet seem to fight it in vain.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
Another person commenting on this text writes:
“Help thou mine unbelief – That is, assist me against it. Give me a power to believe.”
“[Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief] A prayer that all can pray with great profit.” Dake
“VII. The profession of faith which the poor man made hereupon (Mrk_9:24); He cried out, ‘Lord, I believe; I am fully persuaded both of thy power and of thy pity; my cure shall not be prevented by the want of faith; Lord, I believe.’ He adds a prayer for grace to enable him more firmly to rely upon the assurances he had of the ability and willingness of Christ to save; Help thou my unbelief. Note, 1. Even those who through grace can say, Lord, I believe, have reason to complain of their unbelief; that they cannot so readily apply to themselves, and their own case, the word of Christ as they should, no so cheerfully depend upon it. 2. Those that complain of unbelief, must look up to Christ for grace to help them against it, and his grace shall be sufficient for them. ‘Help mine unbelief, help me to a pardon for it, help me with power against it; help out what is wanting in my faith with thy grace, the strength of which is perfected in our weakness.’ Matthew Henry
Learning to trust and depend upon our LORD:
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:5-8
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27
“All it takes is a mustard seed of faith to move mountains. Meaning even the smallest of faith can do miracles. It is belief in God not in self that matters. Mark 11:22 says “Have faith in God.” He will provide the increase. Even the disciples prayed for more faith! And we know them to be men of great faith!” Karen Cochran
LET’S PRAY: Holy Father, we come to You now, because we know You are our Source for all blessings and answered prayer. Yet, we lack faith and ask You now to “Increase our faith” and to “help thou mine unbelief.” Please fill in dear LORD where we lack, where we are weak. We know You are all powerful, loving, and desire to and are ready to answer our prayers. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Evolution is a Fairy Tale for Grownups” … “The Greatest Hoax Ever
Clear proof that the devil can only make a monkey out of fools who deny the existence of their own Maker. – SIMPLE QUESTION: IF MAN CAME FROM MONKEYS, WHY ARE THERE STILL MONKEYS?
“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” Psalms 14:1
Is it possible to have a painting and not a painter?
Got proof?
Did the painting paint itself?
Is it scientific, is it honest to acknowledge a creation and deny there’s a Creator?
Got proof?
Can something come out of nothing? Where did the evolutionary primordial soup come from that what we see now somehow came out of? WHO created that soup? Does the first law of science not acknowledge that “something cannot come out of nothing”?
By definition, science is defined as the study of what already exists. Otherwise there would be no science, nothing to study, right? What would you say of a person who while claiming to be scientific, simultaneously denies there’s anything to study? Are we studying something that doesn’t exist? If we are studying, that means we exist, right? If we are examining, studying something, that means that that something already exists, correct? Where did it come from?
Those who deny there’s a Creator, are simply being moral cowards who want to deny the need to obey the Judge of their eternal souls before whom we shall all stand before to give full account of every intent of the heart and action.
Robert Beriault notes:
“They have disproved evolution many years ago, by mapping our genome. It proved that humans were always humans and monkeys were always monkeys. And through God‘s fingerprints in the Fibonacci sequence. The question is why are they still teaching it to our kids? The beast system as its best.”
Charles Darwin was a satanist – The theory of evolution is mere baseless theory, mythology, a fairytale for grown ups who refuse to take personal responsibility for their lives before a holy God.
“To suppose that the eye… could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible. degree.” Charles Darwin, 1872
THERE’S NOTHING SCIENTIFIC ABOUT EVOLUTION. Undisputably, it’s a proofless myth, a lie, a fraud.
If mankind evolved from apes, why are there still apes? Where O where is the intermediary species? Where’s the proof? There is not 1 iota of evidence of such the whole world over.
Is mankind the evolution of apes?
IF HUMANS CAME FROM APES, WHY ARE THERE STILL APES? WHERE IS THE INTERMEDIARY SPECIES?
Apes are beasts, animals. They can’t laugh, cry, or reason. God made only MANKIND in His own image (Genesis 1). Satan is the author of this erroneous doctrine of evolution. He’s the one who want children, people to believe they are just animals, so they act like such. He’s the liar and the father of all lies who has come to steal, to kill, and to destroy (John 8:44; 10:10), Those who don’t walk in the truth of God, given all men in Holy Scripture, will be “destroyed”, the pawns of the evil one who “walketh about seeking whom he may devour.” (Hosea 4:6; 1 Peter 5:8)
God made each species of HIS creation to PRODUCE AFTER IT’S OWN KIND and so that dispels the myth, the rank heresy of evolution (Genesis 1). Adaption can be observed but not evolution. Species simply do not become something other than what they were made to be, what they are coded to be. There is no proof the world over for such a myth as the evolution of species. A term makes nothing true, especially in this case where there is no proof. Adding “millions of years” to a mere theory doesn’t change that such a theory is mythology, not truth. Think about it: If you went home today and emptied out your gargage, and waited a year to see if something would magically appear in that garage, would it happen? No. What if you waited 10 years? How about a thousand, a million years? Would time itself cause something, anything to somehow appear in your garage? No.
Fact: There’s not 1 stitch, not 1 iota of evidence of evolution in every museum in the world. It’s been called a “fairy tale for grown ups.”
Adaptation is part of CREATION. It merely speaks to a loving God who made men and even animals to adapt to their environment on HIS earth where He created and placed them (Psalms 8). There is no museum in the entire world that has a stitch of proof of evolution. “The FOOL hath said in his heart, there is no God.” (Psalms 14:1)
“Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups.” Dr. Louis Bounoure, Director of the Zoological Museum and Director of Research at the National Center of Scientific Research in France, J. Rostand, “LaMonde et la Vie,” October 1963, p. 31 from V. Long, “Evolution: A Fairy Tale for Adults,” Homiletic and Pastoral Review, Vol 78 (1978), no. 7, pp. 27-32
“Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution we do not have one iota of fact.” Dr. T. N. Tahmisian, Physiologist, Atomic Energy Commission.

Mexico Mission Update Part 28
SATURDAY
ONLY GOD can do stuff like this!
SMH for His goodness.
After asking Luis (pictured below) where a certain food item was, he showed me and a lengthy conversation ensued. Luis was asking me questions about the USA after he found out that is where I originally from. At some point in the conversation, Luis said “make another statement in Spanish.” I guess he was seeking to measure how much Spanish I had learned. This caught me off guard yet I said “Jesus Christ reigns” in Spanish. AS SOON as I began saying those words, a dear man and his wife (Manuel) were turning the corner into that isle and so as I spoke those words I looked Manuel (whom I’d never before laid eyes on) straight into his face in order not to waste or limit who God’s Word was being spoken to. Manuel immediately lit up and rejoiced to hear God’s Word because he and his lovely wife are on-fire disciples of Jesus! Manuel then began ministering to beloved Luis who is not yet saved. The timing and arrangement of this event was nothing less than a divine miracle. We were all quite stunned at how this unfolded. Everyone exchanged contact info and Luis is going to continue to minister to and lead Luis to Jesus.
JESUS CHRIST IS MINISTERING TO AND SAVING SOULS!!!!
RECENTLY: Another 1,500 more JESUS tracts in Spanish picked up from the printer.
LAST NIGHT: Just got back in. Was able to pass out dozens upon dozens of JESUS tracts and speak God’s Word to each person…. ran out of tracts and loving it. Home restocking the pouch now.
The amazing people of Mexico are receiving the Gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16). Your prayers coveted.
The only spirit I have ever been in with ministering to Mexican people is “compassion.” Jude 22-23
The amazing people of Mexico are receiving the Gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16). Your prayers coveted.
LAST NIGHT: AFTER sending out the weekly Bible teaching tonight, a young man named Julio here in Mexico replied with this:
“I want to learn the word of God, thank you for sharing the word of God with me.” Julio
He’s not yet saved (that I know of) and he’s reading the Word he’s being sent and now has the 4 ministry books in Spanish, including the Born Again book and the JESUS tract, etc.
Thank you for praying for our brother in Christ, Justin.
“About two weeks ago I would wake up spontaneously praising and thanking God. Normally, I am too groggy. But it just happened so naturally. It blesses my day and I give thanks for the challenges. Love you too bother.” Justin
When Alfredo (above) was given a JESUS tract and had God’s Word spoken to him, he was on the phone. He hung up and came and grabbed me as I was walking away. We spent ample time together and he was excited that you would be lifting him in prayer. He was very open and honest and asked me how he would be able to stop drinking many beers daily. In return I preached Jesus to him and that when he repents and receives Jesus, he is going to be forgiven of his sins and born again, a new creature in Christ and that all old things will pass away. He was instructed to repent and receive Jesus as I pointed to the prayer on the back of the JESUS tract (oracion). He was also shown the Reina Valera Bible 1960 to download onto his phone. He has my number and as soon as he texts me back he will be sent the Born Again book in Spanish and receive biblical ministry. Thank you for lifting this dear man in prayer. The honesty of the people of Mexico is so very refreshing!
God loves the Mexican people. Jesus died for them.
Thank you for pausing to pray for the people of Mexico.
Here’s beloved Martha who recently received ministry – as a direct result of your prayer and support.
Spanish
Is your life fruitful for Christ?
Or is it being wasted? John 15
Bibles and ministry books going out weekly across the nation. Lives being changed. Prayers coveted.
Now supporting a missionary in the Philippines….. Jesus tract in Tagolog etc.
You’re working to pay bills but are you fruitful for Jesus? John 15
Below are message from 2 men here in Mexico who have been ministered to and are continuing to receive God’s Word weekly:
“I am interested in knowing God and reading the Bible.” Julio
“Hi Todd. Greetings. Thanks for the Bible messages.” Carlos
IF you want to have a ‘field day’ adventure of evangelising lost souls, 90% of which are just waiting to be told about Jesus….. perhaps you may wish to pray and ask God if He’d have you move south to Mexico. A blessing. Psalms 37:23, right?
God be praised for your prayers and support. HE is doing a work in the hearts of the people of Mexico.
