The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon
THE REVELATION
THE TIME IS COME THAT THE SON OF MAN BE REVEALED AND GLORIFIED.
I DO NOT COME SEEKING MY OWN GLORY: THERE IS ONE WHO SEEKS TO EXALT ME, AND HE IS THE JUDGE OF ALL WHO REJECT ME.
IT IS WRITTEN IN YOUR EARTHLY LAWS THAT THE CONCURRING TESTIMONY OF TWO WITNESSES IS TRUE. ACCORDINGLY, I BEAR WITNESS OF MYSELF, AS DOES MY FATHER WHO HAS SENT ME. I KNOW THAT THE WITNESS HE HAS GIVEN OF ME IS TRUE. BECAUSE OF THIS, I DO NOT HAVE NEED OF THE ENDORSEMENT OF ANY EARTHLY AUTHORITY.
HE WHO SPEAKS ONLY HIS OWN IDEAS DOES SO TO GAIN HONOR FOR HIMSELF. BUT HE WHO WORKS FOR THE GLORY AND HONOR OF THE ONE WHO HAS SENT HIM IS TRUE, AND THERE IS NOTHING FALSE OR VAINGLORIOUS IN HIM.
I HAVE NOT COME TO YOU ON MY OWN BEHALF, BUT HAVE BEEN SENT BY THE ONE WHO IS TRUTH. NOR HAVE I COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO DO MY OWN WILL, BUT RATHER TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER WHO HAS SENT ME. I WAS BORN AND CAME INTO THIS WORLD FOR ONE PURPOSE: TO BE A LIVING WITNESS TO THE TRUTH. THOSE WHO LOVE THE TRUTH WILL FOLLOW ME.

Lord God, Abba Father, Oh My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. For under the sun we must constantly be dying to ourselves, for when we stop we stumble and fall short of Your glory. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

If God allows some people to pile up riches instead of making themselves poor as Jesus did, it is so they may use what He has entrusted to them as loyal servants, in accordance with the Master’s will, to do spiritual and temporal good to others.
— St. Charles de Foucauld

18 "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 21 the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise. 25 "I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
Psalm 41:2-5, 13-14
2 the LORD protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; thou dost not give him up to the will of his enemies. 3 The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness thou healest all his infirmities. 4 As for me, I said, "O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against thee!" 5 My enemies say of me in malice: "When will he die, and his name perish?"
2 Corinthians 1:18-22
18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we preached among you, Silva’nus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No; but in him it is always Yes. 20 For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter the Amen through him, to the glory of God. 21 But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has commissioned us; 22 he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
Mark 2:1-12
1 And when he returned to Caper’na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them. 3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. 5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven." 6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 "Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" 8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question thus in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" — he said to the paralytic — 11 "I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home." 12 And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
When Heaven Invades Earth Unabridged By Bill Johnson Narrated by Tim Lundeen – When Heaven Invades Earth is a powerful statement and testimony on the Kingdom of God. Theologically sound, well supported, and extremely well argued, this message provides a carefully constructed biblical foundation for the average Christian to live and walk in the miraculous power of God. Not only is the supernatural possible, it is our commission. The Great Commission that Christ gave the Church challenges us and makes us responsible to rise up to this supreme supernatural calling. Johnson explains how we are called to dominion in the earth through the divine rule of God.
