Within the context of Scripture, the "last days" were not speaking about the end of the world, but the last days of Old Covenant governance. They marked the closing of the age of the Law, the temple system, and the covenant that was passing away-Christ
The 2 Corinthians 10 warfare passage ends with taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Not your obedience. Christ’s. The captivity is to a person — the one whose mind is fully aligned with the Father. This is not restraint. This is union.
Spiritual warfare in the New Testament is one passage. One. And it has nothing to do with second-heaven gymnastics. It is about pulling down strongholds — which Paul defines as the reasoning that justifies your dysfunction. The enemy is not the behavior.
John 3:16 does not say God so loved you that he gave his only begotten son. It says he so loved the world — the kosmos. The point is not to diminish personal love. The point is that the end game is bigger than your personal salvation.
Any fear-based relationship has to be sustained by fear and removes all possibility for romance!
God is not mad at you, he is mad about you!
The simplicity of this statement puts religion out of business!
If our message seems vague to anyone, it is not because we are withholding something from certain people!
It is just because some are so stubborn in their efforts to uphold an outdated system that they don't see it!
2 Cor 4:3
mirror bible
Jesus didn't come to persuade an angry God to be nice towards mankind;
He came to persuade an indifferent and hostile humanity about the goodness of God!
Sin is singular - its symptoms are plural - its been a sonship thing from the beginning - no wonder Jesus says freedom indeed is found in the truth of our authentic and redeemed sonship - even the "other brother" has the Father pleading with him
When Jesus died, everyone and everything (collective violence, anger, guilt, shame, and all that was wrong with us at the very core) died with Him.
- That’s why He was able to say: “Peace be unto you”
Judge not, lest you be judged” isn’t God threatening retaliation—it’s Jesus describing reality. If you judge them, you are judging yourself, because division is an illusion in the body of Christ.
Christ is your mirror NOT the window you look through. He’s been trying to tell you that you also are a son like Him and that you also look just like your Dad!
So here I am dead and alive at the same time! I’m dead to the old me I was trying to be and alive to the real me which is Christ in me!
Co-crucified, now co-alive! What a glorious entanglement! I was in him in his death; now he is in me in my life! For the first time I’m free
Jesus didn’t come to show you how to have a relationship with the Father or how to get empowered by the Spirit. He brought you into His own relationship with the Father and endowed you with the fullness of the Person of the Holy Spirit.
Your union with God did not begin after you said the sinners prayer.
Your union with God existed before time existed.
Your union with God existed before Adam existed.
You were in Christ before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4
Christ is your origin.
“Blood isn’t primarily a legal currency; it’s a lineage marker. We talk about ‘the blood of Jesus’ like it’s paint on a doorpost, but the deeper miracle is blood in you—divine life shared, divine DNA, a new household. Redemption isn’t God deciding to tolerate you
God refuses to interact with you outside of Himself because He doesn't know you apart from Himself.
This is why trying to strive to get “closer” to God makes absolutely zero sense. You couldn’t get any closer to Him. You are literally of His bones and of His flesh.
