“Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation.” (Colossians 1:15 NLT)
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 1:3 BSB)
“Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?” (John 14:9 ESV)
There are no “mistakes” or “errors” in the Bible. It is “God-breathed.” God, without error or mistake, reveals truthfully and accurately the error of the one writing it.

I will be sincerely “helped” in a way that falls short of what is available in Christ.
Many have ministered sincerely with Christ-like intentions only to find out later that they have been sharing “error” that had been passed along by others with the purest of intentions who had not seen through the veil.
My Kingdom assignment focuses on rethinking how we view aging, death, and late life assignments. If I am teaching others veiled Old Covenant concepts based on sin, decay, and death rather than New Covenant righteousness, increase, and life, I am literally robbing them of life and abundance.
It is time to lift the veil and interpret everything through Jesus. That is why I have written…
