1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
The Gospel Is About Power, Not Just Words
And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
–1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)
God Has Revealed By His Holy Spirit
which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
But as it is written:“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
–1 Corinthians 2:8-10 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)
Many people quote this scripture and say see, we don’t know. I wish they would just keep reading to verse 10. God reveals by His Holy Spirit. Are you a Spirit Baptized, Spirit led believer? Then it can be revealed to you as well.
Jesus Walked Here
Believers must eliminate the word “impossible” from our vocabulary. The Lord Jesus did it to show us what the Father had planned for us. He left us saying,
“ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
(John 14:12 NKJV)
Do you believe? Then, you will receive, and achieve great things for the Eternal Kingdom.

A typical middle eastern meal
Yaffa- the worlds oldest operating port
Welcome to Tel Aviv
After living in Tokyo for so long, fascinating to see another old city on the other side of the world. Not as old as Jerusalem or even Yaffa the port just South, but interesting mix. Welcome to the Middle East!
Live in the newness of life
Romans 7:5-6 (NKJV)For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
We are free from sin
Romans 6:7-12 (NKJV)For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Let’s try the GWT
Romans 6:7-12 (GWTransl)
The person who has died has been freed from sin.
If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, who was brought back to life, will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once and for all to sin’s power. But now he lives, and he lives for God. So consider yourselves dead to sin’s power but living for God in the power Christ Jesus gives you.
Therefore, never let sin rule your physical body so that you obey its desires.
