“Jesus rose from the dead on the third day!”
| 1Cor 15:14 reads, “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.” Aren’t you glad that Jesus rose from the dead, lives forevermore, and is the firstborn among many brethen?!! Everyone needs Jesus because everyone has sinned and the wrath of God is their wage. Thank you, Father, for loving us enough to send Your Son as a sacrifice for our sins. (Read “He gave!”) |
| Hallelujah! Jesus is alive! He was dead, but behold, He is alive forevermore! (Pray this Audibly Over Someone) I declare that (1Cor 15:3) ____ knows Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said, and (vs.4) Jesus was buried, and was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said! (Gal 2:20) Therefore, ____ has been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer ____ who lives, but Christ who lives in him/her. And the life ____ now lives in the flesh, he/she lives by faith in the Son of God, who loved him/her and gave Himself for him/her. (1Pe 2:24) ____ understands Jesus personally carried his/her sins in His body on the cross so that he/she can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By Jesus’ wounds ____ is healed. (1Pe 3:18) Christ suffered for ____’s sins once for all time. Christ never sinned, but Christ died for sinners to bring them safely home to God. ____ knows Christ suffered physical death, but Christ was raised to life in the Spirit. (Gal 5:24) ____ understands those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. (Tit 2:14) Christ gave His life to free ____ from every kind of sin, to cleanse ____, and to make ____ His very own and totally committed to doing good deeds. (1Cor 2:2) ____ has decided to know nothing among people except Jesus Christ and Him crucified! (Heb 12:2) ____ fixes his/her eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of his/her faith, Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and now Christ has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Php 1:27) Whatever happens, ____ conducts himself/herself in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether other Believers come and see him/her, or only hear about his/her faith, it will be known that ____ stands firm in one spirit, contending as one for the faith of the gospel! (vs.29) ____ understands well that he/she has been given, not only the privilege of trusting in Christ, but also the privilege of suffering for Him.

| The final class of our “Divine Design for Sxx” series. Pt.5 is about Forgiveness, Exposure, Healing, and Restoration. (See Pt.1 – The Sex Test (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1wSOUCNFkM&t=126s) |
| These men just finished the Sxx Series and have come to the altar for prayer. Humbling, liberating, and restorative! (Read “The grace of God is bigger than my ____?”) |
| Each of us have a fake-self. (Ever pretended to be busy at work when the boss showed up? LOL!) The goal of the fake-self is always to hide and protect the real, hurting self. However, the degree to which you are fake is the degree to which you are not real… and God is always only ever with the real, hurting self. God can never be a part of our fake-selves and fake lives. (Read “Where is God in that _______?”) |
| Agree with us in Prayer: a. For the Brig/Prison: Pray for all the souls (the leaders, the inmates, the guards, and their families). There is a battle happening for the souls of these men! Join me in prayer for a godly stronghold over the prison population. Bind up demonic spirits of discord, hate, religion, bitterness, unforgiveness, shame, condemnation, laziness, indifference, procrastination, and pride. And loose a spirit of salvation, discipleship, forgiveness, humility, exposure, healing, deliverance, peace, restoration, unity, and cooperation! b. For continued increase at ZCDC (Churchplant). Pray for the constant “fishing” that must be done, as Camp Schwab is highly transient and we must continually gather replacement folks. (FYI: the beauty in this is that we get to rapidly disciple and equip men and women and launch them from here into the world! (Shabbah! Lol!) Pray for my strength, wisdom, and resources as we gather new souls on Camp Schwab. We are called to gather sheep and convert goats. Pray for mature, Qualified Families and Permanent Personnel to co-labor with us in this northern-most, remote area of Okinawa. c. For Zebulun Worship Team. Our lead singer will be gone for a season due to military obligations. Continue to pray for the releasing of prophetic, powerful praise and worship! d. For our Believers to walk in increased discernment, wisdom, maturity, power, and works, that they are properly discipled, and that they bear much Kingdom fruit, now! e. Pray against retaliatory, unclean spirits from On-Base and Off-Base. Bind up demonic spirits of control, division, envy, strife, competition, lust, and fear. And loose a spirit of unity, peace, love, maturity, discipleship, and faith among Believers. f. For our current schedule (finances, resources, wisdom, strategies, and strength): – Sun: Share/Report Christians In Action ministries – Mon: Radical & Relevant (R&R) @7pm – Wed: Brig Christian Fellowship (BCF) @7pm – Thu: Publish Think On These Things Newsletters – Thu: Publish YouTube Videos (Channel: YahwehHasASon) – Fri: Sexual Integrity & Restoration (SIR) @9am – Sat: Zebulun Christian Discipleship Center (ZCDC) @6pm – See Facebook Live Ministerial Videos – Make a Donation |
| Recently, many have asked how I came to be on the mission field. Read my brief testimony. (“Nick, what do you want to do?”) |
| In closing… Saints, please know that your petitions to the Lord on our behalf are precious to us. What a blessing your prayers are! Thank you! Every week I am so excited at the Kingdom fruit being harvested here! It amazes and humbles me. I thank God for the privilege of serving Him. Even though I am the worst sinner, He’s taken my wretched, yet forgiven, past to show others how great His grace is! (1Tim 1:14-16) It’s hard work, but lives are being changed and disciples are being made. I sincerely wish each of you could come here for a season and see it for yourselves. (Hint-Hint. LOL!) The Kingdom of God is being preached! We could use your help. Please consider partnering with us in these ministries through your monetary donations and support.
