from Midweek Move · host The Healing Place

Dive into Mark chapter 15 as we examine the critical final stage of Jesus' trial—His encounter with the Roman authority, Pilate. Discover the insidious strategy of the religious leaders who weaponized Rome's political fears by framing Jesus as a threat of treason, not blasphemy. We analyze Pilate's dilemma amid public pressure and his desperate attempt to release Jesus by offering the choice between the Messiah and the notorious insurrectionist Barabbas. This conversation uncovers the shocking reality of Jesus' silence before His accusers, how this fulfilled ancient prophecy, and the horrific cost of the Roman scourging before His crucifixion.

HOMELAND HOMELAND The Church is a body not a building. It's the bride of Jesus Christ! Jesus is coming back for a mature bride. That means it's time for the church of Jesus Christ to move from milk to meat. This is the hour of maturity!HOMELAND is an announcement that the church is being set free. Only the church has the ability to transform the world. The kingdom's of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord and Savior!All of creation has been waiting for this moment! Sons and daughters of God are rising up and taking their seat! Wisdom's Proof JesusLifeTogether In a world of religion, ritual, hierarchy, control, money, marketing, and more flavors than 10,000 Baskin Robbins — how can we know what is Right and True? Some just give up. Bad move. JESUS LIVES and REIGNS! Some simply "go along to get along" to conform to culture and biological family. Really bad move, unless you are a lemming and don't care about the destiny someone else has chosen for you. But then JESUS, knowing this day would come, said, "By their fruit you shall know them" and "Wisdom is PROVED RIGHT by all her CHILDREN." Luke 7:35 Find some random offspring from whatever you wish you knew more about, look carefully at the second generation, and see if the gates of Hell are prevailing — as they would in a "mere words" and "mere ceremonies" attendance-based religious organization. OR, is satan getting busted in the mouth by that second generation? What is the fruit and the quality of LIVES of the children - once they can make their own choices? Then you'll Know. Wisdom is PROVED Electroma (feat. Daft Punk) Kyma Fi Lyrics:We all dance in the digital lightWe all move to the digital groove Zero Brakes Allowed Its-all-here I’m on go — no brakes, no doubt, Every second lit like a knockout bout. Midnight hustle, sun-up grind, No map for this — I blaze my line. Zone locked in, no outside noise, This is grown-man game, not toys. Break the system, flip that code, Heart on fire — ZERO BRAKE MODE. I move fast, with soul and sound, Turn dark days into battlegrounds. This is life with no fear allowed, Watch me rise — stand back, stay proud.
