Desensitization to the person of Christ: The Truth of the Gospel

Greeting Everyone,
Its been a busy week for us as we prepare for our up coming trip to Ghana. We have had several great times of fellowship this past week on the message “Desensitization to the person of Christ: Thou shalt not steal.”  I’m amazed and a little disappointed at how many professing believers don’t really want the person of Christ.  They have no problem wanting to learn more about Jesus of Nazareth.  But the person of Christ as their only life.  Sounds strange and unimportant.  And sadly very few know or understand the difference between the two.  Please understand the process of desensitization makes everyone delusional to the Father’s purpose, intent, and plan concerning the person of Christ, His Son!  With that said today we will talk about “the truth of the gospel.”
 We ask you to continue to pray for us and with us for our trip and travel to Ghana in the coming weeks.  I ask the same prayer request as the apostle Paul, ” Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,” Eph 6:18-19.  Some would say because we have the Bible and can read there is “no” mystery.  Really? The fear of not being in control deceives too many of us! Paul again tells us in 1Cor 2: 7-14 that human sense knowledge is unable to know there is a mystery.  The things of God are available to all of His offspring just not to the mind of the flesh!  This is an integral part of “the truth of the gospel”.  Let’s talk about it!
Love In Christ,

Desensitization to the Person of Christ and Racism

Greetings Beloved!
We are nine days into our new year of 2016! We trust not too many of you were sucked into the desensitization process of new years resolutions.  As Sons of God we are see-thru-ers and resolutions just don’t fit who we are in-Christ!  Only nine days in the new year and most people are living and existing in the illusion of their old man in the old year.  Remember the process of desensitization to the person of Christ is also the process of sensitization to the person you appear to be in the flesh.  We are bombarded with the illusion that our sex, gender, culture, biological birth, nationality and race is the person we really are.  Please know and understand that our sex (male or female), skin color, intellect, religious beliefs, organizational or/and institutional doctrines are really not issues anymore. None of it or you and me survived the cross! Because the vast majority of humankind have not come to know or understand this liberating truth we have become fearful, deceived, captive and are all out delusional in all of our thinking.  Think about it. God took care of race relations and nationality in Christ at the cross! So what’s the problem?  Simply. You know. Say it with me, desensitization to the person of Christ!  Let’s talk about in Sunday morning fellowship!
Love In Christ,

Desensitization to the Person of Christ: “Thou shall not Steal”

2016 Jan 3rd Streaming

As many of you might already know we had a devastating series of tornadoes here in north Texas last Saturday evening.  There were several fatalities, loss of homes, personal property and businesses.  With that comes many stories of God’s love, grace, mercy and comfort!  As the body of Christ, the Church which meets as In-Christ Ministries International has partnered with All Nations Fellowship to provide aid and assistance to those affected by the tornadoes. Support included funds for food, personal care items, and medication to name a few.  Katherine and I want to thank all of you who continue to pray for those who were affected by this tragic event and for us as well.  We also want to thank each of you who give in love to this body.  The In-Christ message continues to go forth.  We are scheduled to leave for Ghana in a few weeks.  Your gifts and prayers assist us with the Sunday morning broadcasts, mission trips and anything the Father sets before us! Thank you again!
The message this morning is on desensitization to the person of Christ and the eighth commandment “thou shall not steal.” The Father and I had a great time of fellowship this week (not that we don’t always have great fellowship). I had just finished reading an article on why companies need to tithe. When He begin open the eyes of my understanding. The company’s CEO was being interviewed by a Christian organization. He had some very interesting things to say about corporate tithing.  He did however interchange the words giving and tithing as meaning the same thing.  They are not the same.  God didn’t ask Israel to give the tithe but they were instructed and commanded to pay tithes.  And of course what happens when they didn’t pay.  We read in Malachi;
    ” Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.” Mal 3:8
I’ve heard this verse is used more times than you imagine.  I’ve heard if you don’t tithe you are “stealing from God”. That is a violation or breaking the 8th commandment, “thou shall not steal” is it not?  Of course it is. But, as much as it sounds like I’m talking about tithing I’m not.  It’s the law itself that’s makes many of steal for God.  Get your Bibles and let’s talk about it!
Love In Christ,
David & Katherine
