You may remember him from a noisy band from New Jersey called The Wrens. He talks about forming the band with his brother, Greg. Up until his latest release, it was the only band he was ever in! Kevin reveals how The Wrens were once the house band on a ferry boat, and how his mom got them the gig. Once the band was signed, they forged their own path; so much so that the label wasn’t sure they could release their debut. But the ind...2022-02-0354 minTouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In ChristTouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In ChristTrusting in The Father - Your Identity In Christ (119) - December 11 2021How close is your relationship with God the Father? Is anything preventing you from enjoying the relationship He paid so preciously for, even though none of us deserved being offered rescue from an eternal spiritual death? Are you able to be close in relationship with Him, or are you wary based on experiences with your earthly father?

Also how faith played a central role in our believing in the person of Christ Jesus by faith, since those of us listening were not around to witness Him at the Cross, and walking the earth over 2000 years ago.This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):  Colossians 1:13-14; Romans 10;9-10; Hebrews 11:1; Galatians 3:26-28; E...2021-12-1128 minTouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In ChristTouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In ChristThe Father has Delivered and Drawn Us to Himself - Your Identity In Christ (118) - December 4 2021Colossians 1:13 says that The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Ephesians 1:4 tells us that God chose us first before we chose Him.

He doesn't favor one person over another since scripture says he's no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). There are ramifications in our daily lives, and ultimately our destiny, however, depending on whether we receive and confess Jesus as our Lord or keep on rejecting Him.This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): Acts 10:34; John 8:32; Prov 15:5; Acts 4:11-12; Deut 30:9-20; Matt 25:31-46; John 12:25; Rev 3:20; 2 Cor 7:10; Eph 2:8; 2 Cor 5:17; Rom 8:1-2.Support the show2021-11-2726 minTouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In ChristTouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In ChristEvery Scripture is God-Breathed - Your Identity In Christ (116) - November 20 2021We continue this week with how God breathed His Own Word, that He wrote the Bible and not man, with man being inspired by God to write what he heard in his heart to write. How it is critical to think like God thinks, not like we used to carnally think. How God does not change our minds, but waits for us to make the decision to give our life to Him, and receive His Son as Savior and Lord, before renewing our spirit so that we become born again, forever a new creation with the old having been...2021-11-2027 minTouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In ChristTouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In ChristYour Thoughts Decide Your Day - Your Identity In Christ (115) - November 13 2021This week we are continuing on with the study of Proverbs 15:15 (AMPC), and the power of anxious thoughts that can encourage and reaffirm evil events in our daily lives. The power of thoughts and what you say with your tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and whether you decide to acknowledge God every day, spending time with him, walking with Him, knowing He is with you....

Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God.

The devil may still have the ability to inflict  sickness and disease and other oppressive evil measures against humanity, but he has no authority to do so because of being disarmed by God in Christ, at the Cross (Col 2:15). Now, the believer, having faith in, and using the name of Jesus, can triumph in Him over evil, by speaking God’s Word over a situation.

Mountains of captivity for the souls in Afghanistan. Mountains of sickness and disease in people’s bodies. Mountains of lack.

Romans 8:14 says that ‘For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.’ Where do we get this abundance of fruit from and how do we bear it?  We should never consider any alternative source but that of the Holy Spirit.

Those who are lukewarm are about to be spewed out of Christ’s mouth (Revelation 3:16). What does it mean to enter through the narrow gate. It all ties back to whether we are confessing Jesus as Lord. If we are seeking Him with all our heart, wanting to know Him.

How it is critical to think like God thinks, not like we used to carnally think.

Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a  situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God.

But have we contemplated this truth so we can receive  this healing to our body, or do we continue on in our carnal  misunderstanding of God’s will about divine healing, remaining sick  along the way? Why do we continue to reject these scriptures and not  accept them as the Truth, thereby being in disobedience to Christ? Why  disobedience?

The devil may still have the ability to inflict  sickness and disease and other oppressive evil measures against  humanity, but he has no authority to do so because of being disarmed by  God in Christ, at the Cross (Col 2:15).Now,  the believer, having faith in, and using the name of Jesus, can triumph  in Him over evil, by speaking God’s Word over a situation.

Exodus 15:3 says ‘The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name.’At all times, great and and not so great, God is saying that we are to be strong and courageous!

Jesus said for us to be anxious for  nothing (Matthew 6:25-34). Luke recorded Jesus as saying that nothing  would hurt us (Luke 10:19).
