Month: January 2019

By Pastor Roy Esposito

1. The moment you realize you are valuable and deeply loved by God  — The “Abba” moment
2. The moment you realize that the life you’re presently living is pointless and empty until you experience the first moment.

Both are needed as counterpoints for spiritual growth.
Bible – Not just a source of information but a vehicle to transformation: An encounter instead of an explanation!
Goal: To encounter God as “Abba” and receive the comfort, trust balance, guidance and direction that goes beyond information.

Isaiah 26:3 – “Perfect peace”
Moment 1 – connects  to peace, energy, and the joy of the “Ultimate Source”
Moment 2 – sets limits and boundaries for proper humility keeping us seeking the Source
“Small Self” – You in you “Big Self” –  God in you
Teresa of Avila – ” We will find God in ourselves when we find ourselves in God.”
Therapy – a series of moments of surrender to truth shared with another.
Humility – the essential position of a soul looking to unlock the door to spiritual maturity
1 Corinthians 13:11-12 (Passion)  – (NKJV) ” Then I shall know just as I am also known.”
 “Knowing” and “being known” are correlated.
The “Loop of Dialogue and Disclosure” begins with humility.
Philippians 4:6-7
“Being known to the Lord must begin with knowing yourself: OWN YOUR STUFF!”  — PR
1 Peter 4:8 (Proverbs 10:12)  — “Love covers a multitude of sin.”
Ephesians 3:20 (Passion)
Psalms 84:2 (Passion)  — We were born with the desire for God
1 John 3:2
Revelation 14:2-5 
The “144,000”  – The first fruit of God’s people set apart to be the further expression of Christ to the Earth
Isaiah 60:1- 5

by Pastor Roy Esposito

• John 6 – Feeding the 5.000
  • Barley – a symbol of poverty Fish — a symbol of the souls of men
• John 10:30 – Jesus and the Father are One and of One mind
• John 8:12 – “He who follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
• 1 Corinthians 2:16 – “We have the mind of Christ.”

Thinking With His Mind

1. Humble yourself. – Have a repentant heart
2. Listen – 1 Samuel 3:7-11 – “Speak Lord, Your servant is listening.”
3. Be kind and patient with yourself. – Romans 7:15-20
4. Remember: God is FOR you. – Romans 8:3
5. Realize: “I am the Prodigal Son!” – My Father will come out to meet me on my way home to Him.
6. There’s a happy ending: – Revelation 21:3-7 (Passion)

The “Old Order”

1. Security at any cost
2. Pleasure without regard
3. Power, control, and manipulation

“Imitators of Christ” – Ephesians 5:1, 1 Peter 2:21, Philippians 2:3-8, 1 Corinthians 11:1

Not Imitations or counterfeits but replications of Christ.

Philippians 4:13 (Passion)

The “Mind of Christ” is empowered and directed by its focus on God’s love and grace.

Jesus knew this – lived this and was very transparent about it.

In Jesus, no “self” is seen. Only the unconditional love of God.

Opaque – blocks the light. – to be in sin.

1 John 2:11 – “He walks in darkness and doesn’t know where he’s going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.”

Matthew 6: 31-34

“The Eyes Are the Windows of the Soul”

1. Entrance to the inner self
2. Reflects what’s in a person’s heart

Hebrews 12:1-2 (NLT) – Looking to Jesus – the only prescription for transparency.

Luke 12:34

Good News! – All it takes to become authentic is to begin as a “Wanna-be.”

“To change your point of view – change the point from where you’re viewing!” -PR

Colossians 1:13 (Passion)
Mark 9:23 (Passion) – “If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believers.”

Prophetic Word for RCF — 2019

On a clear day
Rise and look around you and you’ll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You’ll feel part of
Every mountain, sea, and shore
You can hear from far and near
A world you’ve never, never heard before
And on a clear day, on that clear day
You can see forever, and ever, and ever
And evermore.
(Lerner / Lane)

Year # 22  — Reintegration- Reorganization- Reordering of:

1. Priorities
2. Vision
3. Understanding
4. Methods

22 = 11×2

3 Ways the written Word is corrupted:

1. Addition to the Divine Authority (10 + 1)
2. Subtraction from the Divine Rule and Authority  (12 -1)
3. Alteration of the Word to fit man’s interpretation

Psalm 12:1 – “HELP LORD!”

Psalm 12:6 – Word tested 7x  by fire in the crucible of clay – the heart of man

2 Corinthians 4:7-9  – “Jars of clay…”

Hebrews 12:5-12 (Passion)

Year  #24 – Associated with Heavenly Governmental Authority

Hebrews 8:5 – Building/operating the tabernacle of God
– Establishment of temple worship as a copy of how it is in Heaven.

Revelation 4:4 – The 24 Elders – leaders of heavenly worship

Year #23 – Year of “Crossing Over”: New perspectives, Divine Interventions, Increased Faith and Magnified Vision

• Joshua 3:1-17
• Hebrews 11:1-3

Acacia Grove – Thorny place; place of wailing

Joshua 3:1-4 – “…you’ve not passed this way before.” – Crossing by a different method – “When you see the Ark, follow it.”
Vs 5 – Sanctify – divorced from the unclean – devoted wholly to God
Vs 6 – priests went first before the people
Vs 17 – miracle of the waters standing in a heap

Adam – mankind

Zaretan – distress

Prophetic Picture for RCF:
The waters of distress will not touch even the bottoms of your feet as you cross over in year # 23″

“This doesn’t necessarily mean that the trials will end — only that you won’t be in distress about them.”  — PR
