✝️Easter Sunday: The Time of Fulfillment

✝️Easter Sunday: The Time of Fulfillment

1. Biblical Foundation (Luke 24:44-53)

·        Christ addressed his disciples regarding the fulfillment of the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.

·        Jesus opened their understanding so they could comprehend the scriptures.

·        Key Mandate: Repentance and remission of sins must be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

2. The Urgency of Time

·        We are living in a "time of fulfillment"; time is not on our side.

·        The significance of Holy Week: The final eight days of Jesus’ life, passion, death, and resurrection.

·        Historical connection: Zechariah 9:9 was fulfilled 500 years after it was written.

·        The year 2030 marks roughly 2,000 years since the resurrection, highlighting a prophetic spiritual time clock.

3. The State of the Church and Personal Calling

·        The "Righteous Church" vs. the "Ratchet Church": God is coming back for a church that lives righteously.

·        Accountability: Pastors and leaders will give an account to God for every word spoken from the altar.

·        The Gospel is not a business: It is not for sale, and the house of God is a house of prayer.

·        Personal Assignment: Every believer has a calling and an assignment; get right with God first, then right with men.

4. Prophetic Overview

·        The Bible contains approximately 2,500 prophecies.

·        2,000 prophecies have already been fulfilled.

·        The remaining 500 prophecies are split: half before the Rapture and half after.

·        Warning against "Strange Fires": Do not get distracted by marketing or programs that water down the truth.

5. Current Events and the Prophetic Clock

·        Israel as God’s Chosen Land (Genesis 12): It serves as the prophetic time clock between the Rapture and the Second Coming.

·        The Rapture and the Second Coming are two distinct events; the goal is to be ready for the Rapture.

·        Middle Eastern conflicts (Ezekiel 38 & 39, Jeremiah 49) are prophetic indicators.

6. Understanding Repentance and Holiness

·        Repentance defined: A profound change of mind, a change of direction, turning from sin, and turning toward God.

·        Holiness vs. Religion: Holiness is about relationship and being on the same page as God, not rituals/traditions.

·        Sin of Unforgiveness: One of the deadliest sins; believers must release offenses to be in right standing.

7. The Principle of First Fruits

·        The Hebrew/Jewish calendar follows a lunar/solar cycle, tracking from creation.

·        First Fruits is an "attitude of gratitude," honoring God with the very best of what He has provided.

·        Recognition of God’s unconditional love and protection over our lives.

8. Closing Exhortation

·        Tomorrow is not promised: Prophecy indicates that in the last days, time will be shortened.

·        Do not waste time trying to justify reckless living; seek God while He may be found.

·        The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Living Holy Lives with Integrity and Truth

Sunday, August 10, 2025 w/Pr. Jose Key Points Holiness should be evident in all aspects of a believer's life, including digital communications, social media presence, and business dealings, as stated in 1 Peter 1:15. The importance of integrity in everyday actions was emphasized, noting that Christians should not engage in dishonest behaviors like theft or misrepresentation. Believers should strive to represent God through their conduct, avoiding negative behaviors like division, pride, and unnecessary conflict within the church community. Temptation serves as a monitor of character strength rather than something to be prayed away, with personal responsibility emphasized over blaming external factors. The mind was identified as one of the most powerful resources God has given believers, with the principle that "wherever the mind goes, the heart follows." Four types of knowledge of God were outlined: intellectual knowledge (gained through study), experiential knowl...

🙏Trading Pride for the Heart of Christ

Image
  Trading Pride For The Heart of Christ I. The Nature of Pride and Ego Analogies: Pride as a loud rooster, sunglasses at night, courtroom over leftovers. Wears suits too big; clings to titles like a raccoon with a shiny object. Ego is pride’s louder, needier cousin demanding the spotlight. Behaviors: Defensiveness over small things. Refusing to admit fault. Turning conversations into competitions. Effects: Damages relationships quietly at first—like a drip under a sink. Makes home/workplaces emotionally unsafe. Scriptures: Proverbs 16:18 – "Pride goes before destruction." Galatians 6:3 – "He deceives himself." Proverbs 11:2 – "With the humble is wisdom." II. Manipulation and Emotional Blackmail Forms: Guilt-based love (“If you loved me, you would…”). Charm masking control. Kindness misread, expectations unspoken. Consequences: Emotional taxation; people feel drained. Love be...
