“Crossing-through”: A Back-Stage Pass to the Holy Place
by Pastor Roy Esposito
John 17:14-15 – World – Cosmos – Refers to the inhabited Earth which is currently functioning through a system under Satans’ rule.
Jesus’ disciples are no longer BOUND by the principals of this realm: IN the world but not OF the world Physically present but not part of it’d values.
Vs. 17 – Sanctified by God’s truth. Set apart, made holy, purified and made conducive to spiritual blessing
Vs. 18 –Sent into the world.
Passion – “I have commissioned them to represent Me just as You have commissioned Me to represent You.”
Primary Mission – “—on Earth as it is in heaven.”
“If the primary mission is the primary motivation ALL the world’s resources become available for use.” – PR
2 Corinthians 6:1 – Workers with Him!
1 Corinthians 3:9(NIV) – Co-workers in God’s
“Absolute surrender to God’s will and His plan is the only way the ‘mission’ can succeed.” – PR
“Surrender allows one to cross-through the barrier to the holy place and to deepened intimacy and friendship with God to become participants in, and contributors to, the Divine Will – not just observers!” – PR
John 15:14-15(Passion)
Genesis 2:19 – Adam names all creatures.
Names – more than labels: they assigned the character and nature indicating what type of being it would be.
“God created them – Adam added creative expression to them!” – PR

Friends of God
Keeps the humility and obedience of a servant
Change in a relational perspective
Embrace the “mission”
The Mission takes precedence over “soulish” desires
Your ideas, desires, and dreams become important and God considers them in His acts of creation
1 Kings 8:14-18(NKJV) God embraced David’s ideas for the temple.
CROSSOVER from promises revealed to promises fulfilled
Stand at the crossroads and choose the ancient paths: where the good way is. Jeremiah 6:16 Stand, stand, stand, Stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. Col 4:12 “That you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.” Galatians 5:1
Ephesians 6:13
What are we standing for? What and Who are we standing in agreement with? THE MIND OF CHRIST.
EVERY MOMENT IS FILLED WITH ME.- I AM Stepping into the higher realm where My thoughts rule will change your life. The ascension into heavenly thinking brings blessings and responsibility. Be still and know that I Am God. Getting to know Me will enhance your life and fill your being with the fruits of Holy Spirit. Dwell in Me and I will dwell in you. Spend time with Me. Get to know Me by studying My Word and listening to Holy Spirit. See how My Son walked the earth and take note of His values and attitudes. Jesus can reveal Me to you. Get to know My character and My heart.
“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2 – Let heaven fill your thoughts LET heaven invade your thoughts. “Let the realities of Heaven fill your thoughts.” Look up and be alert to what is going on around Christ-that’s where the action is. SEE THINGS FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE.
Metanoia- repent- TAKE ANOTHER MIND. [ the mind of Christ] My thoughts are godly- of ME says the Lord.
Isaiah 55:1-13 Isaiah 55 October 2018 [word to me] Come, come, come Alignment – come into the mind of Christ Sing the new song that all creation sings to the King of glory Come and drink – listen – open your ears – eyes Wine and milk for free Open
I AM ALWAYS GOOD.
Psalm 107:9 Matthew 11:28
Whosoever will, let him take freely of the waters of life.” (Revelation 22:17) “‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said to him, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved.” (Acts 16:30-31) “The Lord is… not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to metanoia.” (2 Peter 3:9) God calls sinners to eat freely of the bread of life, the broken body and shed blood of His Son. This is a meal He has set for the ungodly, not for the righteous nor for some phony level of righteousness. He wants sinners to eat of it, and He does not set up signs that say: “Only for those who are penitent”. God sees our dire need and says, “Eat, sinner, and live! Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ! Look and your soul shall be filled! Do not think that you must be worthy to receive My salvation. Behold and believe My righteous generous grace for you displayed in the cross of Christ. Metanoia!”
Metanoia- transformational change of heart; a change in one’s way of life, a fundamental change in direction, due to a spiritual conversion Change of the ways of life because of a summons from the Holy God to a personal, absolute and ultimate unconditional surrender to Him as Sovereign.
We have the mind of Christ Philippians 2:5 . Let His MINDSET BECOME YOUR MOTIVATION. 1 Corinthians 2:16 1 Corinthians 2:10 :14 – Those who have the mind of Christ are able to discern His moving in a situation, whereas the natural mind cannot. Romans 12:2 Colossians 3:10 Romans 13:14- clothe yourselves- have an intimate union with Him, [being clothed with all the graces which are in Him] put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill it’s lusts or gratify it’s desires.
“Robe yourselves with the virtues of God.” Colossians 3:12 – …be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others.
Galatians 3:26-27 – In Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Colossians 3:11-14 The mind of Christ summed up is this: WEAR LOVE. IT’S YOUR BASIC, ALL PURPOSE GARMENT. NEVER BE WITHOUT IT.
“Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust Him along the way you’ll find He’s pulled it off perfectly.”
“He is perfect in Power, perfect in Holiness and Righteousness, perfect Design and Significance, perfect inExecution; perfect in Object and End; and perfect in NUMBER.” – PR

Important questions to ponder as we enter 2020 – Year 24 of RCF
Is our speech critical or redemptive?
What is the quality of our love?
Are we dividers or uniters?
Do we seek to dominate or liberate?
Are we Disciples of “the Accuser” or “the Redeemer”?
Some words and prayers are forms of witchcraft b/c of the attitude and purpose by which they are spoken.
Matthew 16:13-19 (Passion) – Words can either bind or loose.
Redemptive Prayer – Starts with thanksgiving and speaks blessings over a person as it holds up their attributes to God.
Projected Expectations – makes one ashamed of who they are or what they’re doing causing a wound and an opened door for witchcraft to affect their souls.
Curse – (Hebrew – Arar) – to bind with a spell; to hem in with obstacles, to render powerless.
Genesis 4:9-12 – God cursed Cain causing the ground to not yield forth it’s strength.
A curse is a “container of death.”
Romans 5:12
1 Corinthians 15:21-22
Colossians 1:25-27
“Are there things I’m putting my energy into that are not “yielding their strength to me?””
“Do I seem to be stalled or “hemmed in” with no breakthrough no matter what I do?”
Ask the Holy Spirit:
1. Am I wounded? Where and how did it enter?
2. Are there areas of unforgiveness in me? (Parents, leaders, divorce, authority figures etc)
3. Intentional sin?
4. Regrets, heartaches, any other hurtful events of the past?
5. Financial problems? Tithing?
1 Corinthians 2:9-16
Hebrews 11:6, Proverbs 8:17
2 Corinthians 5:17
Abilities and Attributes of the New Creation
1. Looks forward towards CHRIST – not backward towards SELF
2. Has the same mental and spiritual capacities as Christ
3. Can fully comprehend the things given by God.
4. Can be taught spiritual things by the Spirit
5. Is able to compare spiritual things to natural things by use of spiritual discernment.
Golgatha – “The place of the skull” – Battle of the mind
Being Fully Engaged – brings Joy by Pastor Marie Esposito
Walk in fullness of joy
“You will make known to me the path of life; in Your Presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.”
Psalm 16:11 1 Peter 1:8-9
What brings you joy? God’s Presence brings me joy. The greatest weapon in spiritual warfare is His Presence. Psalm 27 This is what brings joy: to be with Him, to become like Him.
Joy is a spontaneous emotional response of the heart in the spirit. Joy unspeakable and full of glory is an explosion not a decision. Galatian 5:22 Christian joy is deep and firm. It is not superficial and flimsy. It is not natural; it is supernatural.
Deep beneath even turbulence in our lives, there is a strong current of confidence and joy that all is well in the hands of a sovereign God. Psalm 94:19 Romans 5:2-5
Out of our experience of God’s love poured out into us grows An unshakable hope in which we can rejoice. God’s Love and Hope produces joy. Rejoice! “When the Lion of Judah roars all else is silent. The roar of the kingdom and it’s governmental authority is in the spiritual airways. Roar and rise to demonstrate My power and authority over all things. Declare and decree Who I AM and What I Am doing. Arise and emerge with swords and mantles, kingdom Assignments. Hear the rise of measurable shifts in the atmosphere.”
This will be a year of acceleration and ascension. Rise up – rise up – and stay up – ascend – rise – be elevated. Peace is your resting place Worship and wait, discern wisdom Moment by moment I am calling you closer deeper higher transformed into my likeness distinguished by My holiness And truth. Be strong and of good courage…
It is time:the remnant is rising filled and prepared and dressed coming forth from a place of rest to contend with the enemies of God. It is a Turnaround year. BREAKOUT!!! walk with the CONQUEROR’S GAIT.
This is what God has in store for us now. “Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice!” Phil 4: I remind you of one of two proverbs the Lord spoke to my heart for me to stand on in January for the new year: His instruction: Warrior Bride rise up hear the cry of My Heart.
Proverbs 21:22 Habakuk 2:1 Stand Stay entwined with the Lord. Don’t give up! This is our destiny. Stand and speak after me: I will: STAND STAND STAND with the Lion of Judah ALIGNED, IN UNISON, IN AGREEMENT, I WILL STAND AND DECLARE HIS TRUTH I WILL STAND AND DECREE THAT HIS WILL IS MY WILL I WILL STAND FAST IN THE LIBERTY WHEREWITH CHRIST HAS SET ME FREE AND I WILL NOT BE ENTANGLED AGAIN WITH THE YOKE OF BONDAGE! BREAKOUT!
Romans 15:13 I Peter 1:1-14 James 1:1,2 Romans 14:17,18
We choose God’s joy when we choose the higher path. It becomes available to us. We can walk in it Taking The Alijah Journey upward instead of the downward Spiral of defeat and despair brings joy. The Spirit’s way rather than following the laws of the flesh brings joy. The road of forgiveness received rather than guilt and regret brings joy. The gospel truth and the story of Jesus brings joy. Reading the Word of God brings joy. Praise and worship brings joy. Gratefulness brings joy. The Christmas story brings joy. The assurance that we are loved and that Jesus is always with us brings joy. His Presence brings joy. He is EMMANUEL.
Romans 15:13- Oh! May the God of your hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!
“Rejoice, O favored one” Make more room for Jesus to come into your heart and you will find His joy unspeakable and full of glory!
