If we have been transplanted into the kingdom of light, there is no room amongst us for darkness. You cannot have both. What happens to you walk into a dark room and turn on the light?
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
How are you portraying God's light in your life today? I'd love to know!

You are a NEW creation
This may be a bit jumbled, but it's by far my most powerful revelation!
Each person has three parts, spirit (the "real" you), soul (mind, will, and emotions), and body.
Everything in existence is either good or evil, light or dark. There is no middle ground and no in-between.
When you are born, you are born into sin, into darkness, and into Satan's Kingdom (John 12:31, Ephesians 2:1-2, Revelation 12:7-11).
When you are born again, your spirit is reborn into God's kingdom. Through Jesus, you are seated at the right hand of the Most High. You have inherited God's nature, His splendor. There is no sin in heaven, only light.
John 10:10 says that God came to give us life, and life abundantly, and that the enemy came to seek, kill, and destroy. The good news is that God's kingdom and Satan's kingdom are different locations! Once again, there is no middle ground. If you are in the kingdom of light, darkness cannot touch you. They cannot co-mingle.
-- We are IN the world, not OF the world.
-- We are to reign (yes, reign!) on Earth for the name of Jesus.
-- We are to be the light in the midst of darkness. To administer the blessing to others.
-- When you understand that every affliction is from the enemy and that your spirit is untouchable, your physical body and/or circumstances will be untouchable.
Here are some of my references, in no particular order:
Revelation 5:9-10
Romans 8:28
2 Corinthians 5:17
John 3:3
Colossians 1:13

Walking on water
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
The story of Peter walking on the water is filled with so much of God's goodness! Here's what God has been revealing to me about this miraculous situation.
First and foremost.. Truly, NOTHING is impossible with God on your side. Science will tell you that walking on water can never be done, but it's important to remember that God is above ALL things. Remember, we are in this world, but not of this world. What the world says is impossible, is possible with the living God!
As Peter kept His eyes and focus on Jesus, he was able to walk on the water. As soon as he took his eyes off of Jesus and looked at the storm, he began to sink. When he saw that the wind was mighty, he became afraid. He was living by sight, and not by faith.1 In this story, the storm is representing the enemy. Satan will try everything he can to get you to take your eyes off of Jesus, because he knows that He is our source of power.2 If he can keep your eyes on the flesh, on the problems in your lives, then he can keep you from reigning on earth in Jesus' mighty name.3 It's important to note that in the story of Peter, the storm was irrelevant! Even if there was no wind, and the water was perfectly calm, Peter's walking on the water would still be a miracle. The 'boisterous' wind changed nothing about the situation, except that it distracted Peter from trusting Jesus. In your lives, as Sons of the Most High God, the storms in your life are irrelevant! Turn your eyes to Jesus and trust completely in Him, and the defeated enemy will flee.4
As Peter started sinking, he called out for Jesus to save him. "Immediately" Jesus stretched out His hand.. Remember that when you doubt God and His Word, when your faith is little, He is always there beside you, waiting for you to turn back to Him. He will never leave you or forsake you,5 and if you turn to Him and keep your spiritual eyes on Him, He will never let you sink. Hallelujah!
References:
1. 2 Corinthians 5:7 - For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2. John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
3. Romans 5:17 - For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
4. Colassians 2:15 - And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
5. Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Broken foot healed
This testimony was written by another member of the Freedom
Ministries family. To see more, please go to www.freedomministries.org
My grandaughter was sitting on a chair when it collapsed, and her foot got caught under it. When my daughter looked at her foot it was clearly broken and she was in pain. My daughter remained calm and just said Jesus and put anointing oil on it. When
she looked again the foot turned back to normal, and was in no pain! We give God all the glory!!

scientifically impossible! He makes a way when there is NO
way!

Cancer dried up in Jesus' name!
This testimony was written by another member of the Freedom
Ministries family. To see more, please go to www.freedomministries.org
Two weeks ago, my friends Deb and Jen came to a
fellowship meeting. Several weeks prior, Deb was
diagnosed with double breast cancer and was scheduled
to get a lumpectomy. I should also preface that she was
diagnosed in early Sept with breast cancer and they
suspected uterine cancer as well. Pastor Mike
was in town for a fellowship and Debra's aunt asked
Pastor Mike to pray that she did not have the uterine
cancer. The next day, she was evaluated and results - NO
Uterine cancer! Anyway, she came to fellowship and
asked that we pray for her. We prayed that the cancer die
up and that no cancer be found. On Monday before the
lumpectomy, they decided to do ultrasound to check out
things before the surgery. Guess what?! They found
nothing! NO SIGNS OF CANCER AT ALL!!!
Radiologist were brought in and other doctors and no one
could figure it out! We all know that's because it was truly
a God given miracle! He can (and does!) anything! Praise
God!
God is no respecter of persons, so please remember that He doesn't heal some and not others. If you or anyone you know is suffering from cancer or any other illness, please know that "He is the God that healeth thee". Take this testimony, and claim it as your own! If you are in need of prayer, please feel free to email me at letusreign@gmail.com.

Here is a true testimony of the power of God! When Pastor Mike was visiting the Fellowship in CA, we prayed for my brother-in-law to be free from the bondage of alcohol. He was not at the meeting. My brother-in-law has now been alcohol free for 35 days. Praise God! He had struggled with that bondage for over 40 years.To God be the glory!

My mother-in-law has suffered from chronic pain (given the name "Fibromyalgia") for many years. More recently, she has been experiencing heart palpitations that keep her up each night. She has been to multiple doctors and has had numerous tests done, none of which led to answers or treatments.
My sister-in-law came home one evening from a house fellowship where she was prayed over to receive the wisdom and understanding to heal her mom. Driving home, she realized that she was full of the Holy Spirit. When she arrived home, she took authority over the situation and with great power from the Spirit within her, she anointed her mom with oil. The next morning, her mom had confessed that her heart had never felt so calm, and she had gotten the best night's rest she'd had in years! On top of that, all of her pain was gone!
A couple days later my sister-in-law went to use that same bottle of anointing oil (the only bottle they had in the house) and she realized that the bottle was still sealed! Her mom distinctly remembers the smell and sensation of the oil being applied, and yet in the flesh, there was no oil. God is so amazing!

The following testimony is from a couple that attends our house fellowship, we are so excited about what God is doing in their lives!
"Hello! As you know we have been having issues with finances and jobs. We were behind on several things. Including child support which I needed to pay over 900 by today or they would suspend my license for 3 months...1. This morning I had a few random deposits of money put into my bank account adding up to over $2k! I don't know where that money is from because they are cash deposits!
2. The caseworker from child support called me and said I just need to pay $287 (not over 900) and she took off the suspension notice!
As it was mentioned to us, the only thing they did was start thanking God for providing for their needs!
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Supernatural Debt Cancellation
This testimony was written by another member of the Freedom Ministries family. To see more, please go to www.freedommonistries.org
To God be the glory! I’ve been working with my mortgage companies for two years to modify my first and second loans and haven’t made much progress. The last couple of weeks I’ve been resting in Jesus’s unmerited favor and love according to Pastor Mike’s teaching. Last week, the modification on the first loan was suddenly approved and then this week I received a letter from the company about my second mortgage. They decided, on their own, to cancel the entire amount of over 69k and I owe them nothing. Thank you Jesus!

Divine Marriage Restoration
This testimony was written by another member of the Freedom Ministries family. To see more, please go to www.freedomministries.org
I received a call from my father earlier in the year 2012. He told me his wife had divorced him and moved out. Over the course of about eight months he pursued her, trying to restore the relationship. At the end of eight months she finally said never contact me again. I don’t want you to call me, write me and I never want to see you again. It looked hopeless, but Jesus’ name is above every name including divorce! Days after she said never contact me again, dad came here to Colorado and told pastor Mike “I need a miracle”. We serve a miracle working God and it is never hopeless because He is our hope! Pastor Mike prayed over the situation, days later her heart was returned to her husband. A week later they were remarried and have never been so in love. They are completely new people totally renewed and restored! Hallelujah!

Divine Healing
This testimony was written by another member of the Freedom Ministries family. For more, please visit www.freedomministries.org
I had a slow-growing tumor on the right side of my back (between my shoulder blades) for several years. All the doctors told me it was a benign lipoma. It began to grow bigger. Within two weeks of noticing that, another tumor came up on the right side of my rib cage. An ultrasound showed the new one to likely be the lipoma, but the older one could not be characterized. Instead of doing a biopsy, I pushed for a surgical referral. After months of back and forth with Veterans Administration doctors, they just could not make a decision, yet the tumors got bigger. I asked to be anointed and to be prayed for at the House Fellowship. After that, two things immediately followed. First, a decision to do the surgery was reached (a miracle in itself). Second, when I went for surgery, the newer tumor had completely disappeared! It was just gone! They had two doctors look for it, neither could find it. Then, the one they removed was benign in appearance. I know it will be benign on the pathology report too because nothing is stronger than the power of God Himself! My fellow believers prayed and the prayers were answered! I give all glory to God!

By His stripes I am healed!
It's my pleasure to finally share my personal, long-overdue healing testimony!
When I was in high school I started experiencing frequent and random fainting spells. I visited a dozen different specialists and had dozens of tests done, all of which left me with no answers. In 2006 my cardiologist attributed my condition to a heart deformity and I underwent surgery to correct it. Convinced that the problem was taken care of, I was devastated when I started blacking out again a couple months later. At this point, my doctors completely wrote me off, telling me that they couldn't explain my situation, and that one day I might just "grow out of it". Until last week, this situation has had complete control over my life. Then, last week, for the first time in months, I had an episode. I woke up in the middle of the night to feed my daughter and in the hallway, I fell to the floor. In a daze, I remember thinking "This can't happen, I AM healed!". All of a sudden I felt fine.. The next night , I again woke up to feed my daughter and started feeling really dizzy. This time I just started laughing. I found the thought of the enemy trying to hold this over my head any longer, hilarious! I kept walking, and laughing, and all symptoms went away. This curse, and the enemy are under my feet! Thank you Father!
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed."
