Part 1
These are the verses for 2026
2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV): “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.”
- Every promise carries a Yes and an Amen when we obey Christ.
This includes the promise of a thousand-fold increase.
Deuteronomy 1:11 (NKJV): “May the LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times more numerous than you are, and bless you as He has promised you!”
This increase is not limited to material gain.
- This increase applies to every area of life.
Finite thinking responds with doubt
- We have been taught to understand the Bible mainly through the history of Church and Christianity.
- Over time, we have become less aware of the spiritual world and its importance in the Bible.
- We often assume that some parts of the Bible are too strange or minor to be important.
Psalm 82:1 NKJV God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.
- The God of the Old Testament was NOT part of an assembly—a pantheon—of other gods.
Deuteronomy 32:8 NKJV When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, When He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.
- The children of Israel
- This happens in Genesis 11
- Abraham was called in Genesis 12
- There was no Israel.
- Therefore, it must mean something else
Star Trek – The Tamarian communication
- Psalm 91
- Every intent of the thoughts of man was only evil continually.
- Proper angelic domain-Jude, Tartarus-Peter, Jesus – like the angels
- Renew your mind
- Mind of Christ
- Conformed to His image
- When we read the Bible, it should help us, encourages us, and gives us hope.
Part 2
In our study of the past, here are the four events.
- The Fall of Man
- The Flood of Noah
- The Tower of Babel
- The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
This is the second part and I call it Unity and Knowledge of Jesus Christ
Ephesians 4:11-16 NKJV
[13] till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;- We’ve been desensitized to the vitality and theological importance of the spiritual world and taught the wrong traditions of men.
There are many other passages whose content is curious or “doesn’t make sense” and so are abandoned or glossed over.
- This does not fully respect the way God intentionally guided the biblical writers.
- God prepared them through their life experiences and helped them write what they wrote, at the time they wrote it, for specific reasons, and from the way they understood the world.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, [17] that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Everything written in the Bible in the past was written to teach us.
- A Christ-centered way of reading the Bible does not ignore what a passage originally meant.
- It respects the original meaning while showing how it connects to Jesus.
Romans 15:4 NKJV For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
- I’m into restoration and authenticity.
We do not need to distort or erase anything in the OT.
Ephesians 1:17-23 NKJV {18] the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
[21] far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.- This passage talks about “principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named,
- not only in this age but also in that which is to come” v21
- The eyes of our understanding have to be enlightened;
Part 3
This is what these teachings are about – about infinite thinking.
- Opening the eyes of my heart.
2 Timothy 3:7 NKJV always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
- That requires faith in Jesus Christ and the true God.
Hebrews 11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
- It is impossible to please God without faith.
- Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is real and that He rewards those who truly and earnestly look for Him.
1 Samuel 30:6-7 NKJV Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. [7] Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
- David was extremely upset because the people were talking about killing him with stones. They were angry and heartbroken because their sons and daughters had been taken.
- But David found strength and courage by trusting in the LORD his God.
- He did that first, then after with faith, He asked God what to do
- Then David asked Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, to bring him the ephod, and Abiathar brought it to him.
Romans 15:13 NKJV Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- When we read it, the Bible should help us, encourages us, and gives us hope.
- May God, who is the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace as you trust Him. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, may your hope overflow.
- May the LORD, the God of those who came before you, bless you just as He promised and help you grow far beyond where you are now.
- Every promise God has made is fulfilled in Jesus. In Jesus, God’s answer is always “Yes,” and through Him we say “Amen” to give God glory.
