Poisons of the Heart
There are things that may be active and operating at a deeper level than we have knowledge of, or that we don’t consider important. We may even know it’s there, but we don’t do anything about it. Those little things can grow to become big things. What are poisons in the heart? How do they get there? How do they prevent us from being all that God has set for us to be? When we make the decision to follow Jesus, we change kingdoms. We become new creations. And we need to have transformation in our minds, because there are issues we must address. The poisons in us will create a compromise. Some of the poisons include the sin nature (the law of sin and death), fear roots in our spirits, and doubt. For more insight, listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy for December 8, 2019.
Matthew 15:10–11, 17–20 NKJV
10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
17 “Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20 These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”

Foundation Scripture for LOJWC Ministry:
“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Mark 11:23
What We Believe:
We believe in God, the Father, Almighty, and in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. On the third day he rose again according to Scripture. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, from whence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the God-head, who revealed himself on the day of Pentecost. We believe in the gifts of the Spirit and their continuous operation in the body of Christ. And we believe in one holy, universal, and apostolic church. Amen.
Faith Confession:
We conduct spiritual warfare. It begins with us as we speak God’s word and speak to our bodies, minds, and emotions. Therefore we make a faith confession which says: “Satan, in the Name of Jesus, I declare this body a sickness-disease-free zone. Every germ, virus, bacterium, etc., that touches this body dies instantly in the name of Jesus, who bore my sicknesses, carried my diseases, and by whose stripes I have been healed. Therefore I command life into every cell in this body, I receive healing for my emotions from every past embedded hurtful, fearful memory. I speak active deliverance from the law of sin and death, according to the finished works of Jesus the Christ, the anointed and His anointing.”

The Fall Roundup, Part 3
We are bringing the Fall messages together, for those who haven’t had an opportunity to hear them all and for those who have, to benefit from the heart of these messages and how they fit together to form God’s message for us this season. The last two messages for the Fall Roundup are taken from “The Power of His Resurrection.” We have been delivered from the power of the kingdom of darkness! We must know the reality of our redemption. We must know what we have been redeemed from, so that we can operate in God’s kingdom and not in darkness. For more insight, listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy for December 1, 2019.
Philippians 3:8–11 NKJV
8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Special Healing Prayer: Lion of Judah Worship Center includes time for Holy Spirit directed healing prayer. Today’s focus is deliverance from the veil of deception, to release resurrection power against cancer, dementia, chronic diseases, mental illnesses, and spiritual sicknesses. The entire service has been separated into three parts. We encourage you to enjoy all three, as a three-course meal!

The Fall Roundup, Part 2
We are bringing the Fall messages together, for those who haven’t had an opportunity to hear them all and for those who have, to benefit from the heart of these messages and how they fit together to form God’s message for us this season. Today we look at Mustard Seed Faith, Mountain Moving Faith, Ascending to Another Level, and Calling Those Things That Be Not. In these, we saw God’s progression. We came to understand that faith must be planted in our spirits. We must believe and not doubt. (Doubt in your head does not translate to doubt in your heart unless you meditate on it.) If we don’t build a faith foundation, and try to build, we won’t be able to move mountains. Mountain moving faith is from Matthew 21:21 and Mark 11:22–24. These are pressure points. When we plant these scriptures in our spirits, and we continue to water them, they will bear fruit! Faith is nuclear energy; it is a spiritual force. When we release it, it is comparable to a nuclear explosion. For more insight, listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy for November 24, 2019.

The Power of His Resurrection, Part II
Redemption is being bought back by the blood of Jesus. He bought us back. He paid the full price for our redemption. That is a part of His resurrection power, of the finished works of Jesus. The power of His resurrection is not a one-time event. It is a daily flowing emanation that we can access as needed. The text does not say “power in” (as in a one-time event), but the “power of” His resurrection. In Matthew 28:18 Jesus says, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.” We should fully understand that if we have no faith in it, it does us no good. What is the major deterrent that prevents us from drawing near to God? What keeps us from pressing in? Sin-consciousness. Satan is stripped of his authority. (See Rev. 1:18.) His only ability left is deception. So he tries to make us believe we don’t have what God gave to us. Yet we should have a new mindset. We should never consider ourselves to be less-than what we are. The old-sin nature is gone and the new nature, free from condemnation has taken its place. (See Romans 8:1, 33.) The new creation is free from sin. It is the result of God’s redemption work. For more insight, listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy for November 10, 2019.
Philippians 3:8–10 NKJV & AMP

8 But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled]. For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did].

The Power of His Resurrection, Part I
Everything that we receive from God, we receive by faith. He wants us to choose Him. He doesn’t make anybody serve Him. When we understand that and receive God, we can come into alignment with God’s will and let go of self-rule. We have been delivered from the authority of the power of darkness. That is part of the power of His resurrection that He accomplished for us. Jesus didn’t merely rise up from the dead, he conquered powers and principalities. That’s why we must be careful of what we say, careful not to rehearse our defeats. In the resurrection, we have redemption, we have healing, and we have deliverance. Everything originally given to Adam was restored to us by Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. (See Col. 2:15, Heb. 2:14–15, and Rom. 8:15.) For more insight, listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy for November 3, 2019.

Calling Things That Are Not
We are calling the promises of God into manifestation. We have studied the Word of the Living God. We have confidence in His Word. This does not mean we are in denial. For example, we don’t say our arm is broken, if it is broken. But we bring in the Word of the Living God, the promise for full healing, confessing the Word of God. For example, in 1 Peter 2:24, we read, “By his stripes you have been healed.” Notice that it is written in past tense (what has happened), not future tense (as if we are hoping for something). This is the principle of calling those things that be not as though they were. That’s why we confess the Word of the Living God. We may not have it yet, but by faith we receive the promise. For more insight, listen to this message delivered by Dr. Dowdy for October 27, 2019.
Romans 4:17 NIV
As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.
