Welcome And Intent For Healing

Dina LaFargue Augustin 0:00

Greetings and welcome to the drip line where love and healing will flow into your soul. Tune in and take a listen. Come along this journey, allowing love and truth to permeate your entire being. Hopefully, the message shared this week will touch your heart, allowing you to move closer to your healing, making you more self-aware, and empowering you for your daily life, enabling you to live more prosperously and successfully. I truly believe this is a special time of year. And whether you are a believer or not, I am sending a message of power and love to you. My hope is that in listening to this message, you would truly contemplate the gift of life, the power of God, the miraculous birth of God being Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and receive his love and peace no matter where or how you are, no matter what your circumstances are, no matter what your hopes or dreams or desires might be. Imagine this. You are the Virgin Mary, a young, young woman who is innocent and untouched in every way, and one day the Lord God sends his holy angel Gabriel to speak life unto you.

The Annunciation And Mary’s Courage

Dina LaFargue Augustin 1:32

Yes, life, the word of God. Now does that sound crazy? Yes, probably to many, to most of us. Does it sound ludicrous? Absolutely. Does it sound simply outstanding and perhaps miraculous? Yes. Many of us know how it reads, but listen to it again or maybe for the first time, if you will. In Luke, it reads In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary, and he came to her and said, Greetings, O favorite one, the Lord is with you. But she was greatly troubled at this saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. And Mary said to the angel, How will this be since I'm a virgin? And the angel answered her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the most high will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. Then to Joseph, her fiance, it was said in Matthew chapter one. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not willing to make Mary a public example, was minded to put her away privately. Now in those days, women that were found in adulterous

Joseph’s Dream And Prophecy Fulfilled

Dina LaFargue Augustin 3:58

activities or sexual behavior before marriage were stoned. So this was very serious, very scary for Mary, and something intense for Joseph to contemplate. Now I go back to verse 20. But while he Joseph thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophets, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted God with us. Then Joseph being raised from his sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife, and knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son, and he called his name Jesus. Now to go back to the words that the angel spoke to Joseph. It is written in Isaiah verse 13. Here now you house of David, Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and will call him Emmanuel. That's in Isaiah chapter 7. I am quoting verses from the Bible for context. It's essential to know the Word of God to back up anything anybody is saying about the Lord God and the history of him and his people. And actually, we are all to be his. I want every listener to contemplate the history of God in this world, the prophecies spoken for all to hear and receive, and to know that God loved mankind so much that he came into this world as a man to save all mankind. Okay, so you might know that already, but contemplate the process and the power and the sacrifices involved. God did not have to collaborate to do anything for anybody. Yet his love ruled and rules him. God is love. How many of us could say that about ourselves that we let God or love rule us? Either way, does love, pure love, live and express itself in us so much that we would ever be so selfless, that we would ever be so forgiving? God is love, not perfect love, because then that would say he had to be perfected. No, he is love himself, he is perfection himself, he is what perfection came from. Only man's love needs to be perfected, and it is only perfected

God Is Love And Humility Embodied

Dina LaFargue Augustin 7:10

by God. Now, God, also being Jesus, also being the living word of God, the living word God, did not have to enter into this world at all. He did not have to come as a baby through a woman's body, but he chose the process to express love. He chose to come into this world to save us from our own hard hearts, from our own evil that manifested in us from the very beginning through Eve when she fell into sin, listening to a lesser creature. God did this to embody humanity. He was willing to become as we become. He was willing to develop and grow into as we develop and grow into. Now, the University of California has a lovely description of what embodied humanity is and what it looks like. It involves recognizing the interconnectedness of our bodies, minds, and spirits, and how our actions and experiences shape our identity and the world around us. Embodying humanity means being present in the moment, understanding our limitations, and striving to make a positive impact on ourselves and others. It requires self-cultivation, empathy, and a commitment to living in harmony with nature and society. Jesus did that. The Lord God demonstrates to us in this selfless act of becoming human the greatest act of humility, the greatest act of love. And that connecting with Him is the optimum, most powerful act anyone could ever do, and the greatest gift anyone could ever receive. Imagine that - God lives as a man exemplifies what it is to be a man. He exemplifies the purest most powerful relationship with God tthe Father from birth to His crucifixion to the resurrection and through all eternity. Imagine this: that He chose a woman to give birth to the living word, the creator of everything seen and unseen. Yes, women, we are incubators of the greatest kind. We are factories of life. Our wombs give birth to not only natural beings, but to spiritual things. We give birth, yes, not to just human babies, but we give birth to the things of God, things that pertain to God. Our wombs are holy ground. We are made in God's image. Yes, Mary gave birth to that image and to the light of the world, to the light of men. She gave birth to salvation. She gave birth to the embodiment of God.

Women, Womb, And Theology Of Birth

Dina LaFargue Augustin 10:30

The following verses express this. In Colossians, verse uh, I'm sorry, chapter two, verse nine says, For in Christ all the fullness of the deity dwells in bodily form. Yes, this verse emphasized that Jesus is telling the divine nature of God. It affirms his complete divinity. Hebrews chapter 1, verse 3. He, being Jesus, is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature. John 14, verse 9, Jesus said, Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. Colossians 1 verse 15. He, being Jesus, is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. Therefore, from his birth to death to his resurrection, we have his life in us. If it were not so, we would almost likely have been destroyed long ago. Despite our denials of him, despite our arrogance, despite our rebellion, despite our lewd and evil behavior, God is patient and full of love, that each of us would be saved, that each of us would live in eternity with him in peace. Psalm 103 verse 8. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. God could have left us in our desolation, but he did not. God could have left us in our rebellion, but He did not. God could have left us to live in um, let's see, so to speak, eternal bodies in uh total damnation, but he did not. And you would have to study um Genesis chapter 2 and 3 to

Christ’s Full Divinity In Scripture

Dina LaFargue Augustin 12:25

really understand what happened there. Micah chapter 7, verse 18 says, Who is a God like you who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You see, God assuages his own anger and he doesn't take it out on us. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 4 and 5. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions. It is by grace that we have been saved. So, listeners, how can we be so audacious as to say I worship nature? Or I thank the universe, or I'm asking the universe to do for me. I want the universe to do this, or I don't need God at all because I am not weak-minded, like those who have to depend on a higher power. Now, our power, our life force is from our creator, and that creator is Yahweh. That creator is God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Believe it or not, there is a creator, there is a savior that came as a man into this world to prove that the most perfect connection with God results in a sinless life that exhibits dynamic power and authority. Jesus exhibited that for us. Jesus came as a man, empowered by the Holy Spirit, his Holy Spirit, to give us our lives and authority back. The lives, the power, and the authority, Eve first, and then Adam relinquished to Lucifer when they conferred with him, when they decided that what God had given to them at that time and at that point was not enough. They doubted God, they doubted their creator, they doubted what he had given them, they wanted more, and they went to a creature that deceived them. We are the results of that, and we are witnesses of the dunamous extreme exchanges and demonstrations of power because throughout this history, from the very beginning, there is a demonstration of God's power and God's love. God spoke and there was light. God spoke, and the heavens and the earth were made. God spoke, and things were set in motion. God spoke and time was established. God created, made, and breathed life into Adam, and through him we all became living souls. God spoke and infused authority and power into Adam and Eve, being

Mercy Over Judgment Throughout History

Dina LaFargue Augustin 15:10

made of Adam's flesh. The first demonstration of power in men follows in Genesis 1, verse 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image. The image of God created he him, male, and female created he them. Verse 28, and God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. That's power, that's authority. We are of God, born of the dust of the earth and the breath of God. We are made in his image with power and love. We cannot love without him having loved us first. So anyone that loves has proof that they are made of this God of love, who is the only God that says he is love. Genesis chapter 2 again demonstrates proof that God's power operates in us. Verse 7, and the Lord God formed men of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put the men whom he had formed. So God breathed his life into us. Power. God says it takes faith to know and not see. Faith is not seeing, faith is believing. Faith is taking God for who he says he is and going beyond believing. It doesn't require seeing or experiencing, just knowing. To experience God without seeing him in the flesh, that's faith. It takes faith in this season to celebrate the life of all life and to accept the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ, and live in the joy of the Lord. He is a gift. Despite other things that are happening in our lives, He is our gift, He is our salvation, He is the way out. Out of despairing, out of not caring. He is the way out of all darkness. Job knew. Job knew who made him in how. The Spirit of God has made me, he says, and the breath of the Almighty gives

Dominion, Creation, And Human Identity

Dina LaFargue Augustin 18:10

me life. Truly, I am as your spokesman before God. I also have been formed out of clay. Job admits that the only way he could be alive is by the breath of God that gives him life. So if we're alive, we're of God. If we have ever loved, we are of God. Let me talk about faith a little bit. Now, faith is confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see. I'll put it another way: faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen. We can find that in the book of Hebrews. By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God's command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Read Hebrews chapter 11. Again, by faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God's command. It was the Big Bang. So that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. The Apostle Paul reminds us who we are and what we are made of in 1 Corinthians chapter 15. And so it is written: the first man Adam was made a living soul. The last Adam, being Jesus, was made a quickening spirit. Hence, we are quickened by the life of Christ in us when we accept him as our Lord and Savior. Now, coming forward at the birth of Christ, the shepherds and the angels experience the power of God. They experience the reality of the natural and the spiritual coming together, celebrating Jesus' birth. And it says, and in that same Region there were shepherds out of the field, keeping watch over their flock by night, and an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were fill filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people, for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you. You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with this angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased. I am taking you from the beginning to the end to the beginning again.

Faith Defined And Lived

Dina LaFargue Augustin 21:00

Hence, the living word was always God. Hence, before the beginning as we know it, the living word existed. The image of mankind existed. The living word that created man in his image, and that being Jesus, being the living word, came in the image he himself created. Did you get that? I hope so. Is that not miraculous? Is that not also mysterious? That can only be done by God. First John chapter 1 confirms this in agreement with the gospel of John chapter 1, the incarnation of the word of life. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have touched, this we proclaim concerning the Word of Life. The life appeared, we have seen it, and testify to it. And we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. We write this to make your joy complete. The power of Jesus demonstrated? Easy. It's all over the Bible. In the New Testament, in Acts chapter 2, 22, it states, Men of Israel, hear these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know. Hence, Jesus did miracle after miracle and sign after sign. He gave us evidence of his authority and his power as the embodiment of God in the earth. Hebrews chapter 4, verse 12. For the word of God

Shepherds, Angels, And Cosmic Joy

Dina LaFargue Augustin 23:10

is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the vision of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Now, what does that verse really mean? It means transformative power, it means life-giving power. It means emotional, mental, and spiritual healing power. It is broken down in the website God's Blessing or Godsbless. What does Hebrews 4.12 really mean? It says the statement that the Word of God is alive and active underscores the dynamic nature of Scripture. It is not a mere historical record, but a living text that continues to speak to us today. John 1.1 further emphasizes this by describing Jesus as the Word of God, highlighting the divine nature and eternal relevence of God's word. Describing the word as sharper than any double-edged sword conveys its penetrating power. Just as a sword cuts through barriers, God's word pierces through our defenses, meaning it cuts on both sides, revealing our innermost thoughts and intentions. Ephesians 6.17 likens the word of God to the sword of the Spirit, emphasizing its role in spiritual warfare. The verse continues by stating that the word penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. This imagery illustrates the profound depth of God's word, is discerning the core of our being, its power to deliver, its power to divide.

The Eternal Word And Incarnation

Dina LaFargue Augustin 25:10

Like in Psalm 139, chapter, I'm sorry, verse 23 and verses 24, where David invites God to search his heart, the word exposes our vulnerabilities and convicts us of our sin. It also cuts through what we the ungodly connections we have between our soul and our spirit. And that I will leave for another podcast. It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart, highlights the transformative impacts of God's word, it serves as a mirror, reflecting our true selves and guiding us toward righteousness. James chapter one draws a parallel, liking those who hear the word but do not act on it to individuals who forget their reflection in a mirror. The point I'm trying to make in this message is that if we do not recognize God, if we do not recognize and acknowledge that we are made of God, then we truly do not know who we are. We look in the mirror and we don't see ourselves. We don't see the truth at all. Now I move forward in this history to the death of Christ. Romans chapter 5, verse 8 reads, but God demonstrates his own love for us in this. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Yes, Christ died free of sin, free of sin, completely free, sinless. He was able to overcome every temptation that Satan threw at him. Hence the power to save us.

Power Of The Word To Transform

Dina LaFargue Augustin 27:00

The resurrection power existed in him. Romans chapter 8, verse 11 reads, If the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit who dwells in you. You see, anyone who accepts Christ Jesus as the Word of God, as the Savior of the world, the one who died in perfection and rose from the dead, has the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, living in him. The same power that resurrected Christ. Ephesians chapter 4, verses 8 through 10 reads, Therefore it says, When he, being Jesus, ascended on high, he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men. And saying he ascended, what does it mean but that he also descended into the lower regions of the earth? That being hell. He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens that he might fill all things. Colossians chapter two, verse thirteen, and you who were dead in your trespasses, and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with Christ, having forgiven us all of our trespasses, by canceling the record of death that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame by triumphing over them in him. So this verse in Colossians is stating that Christ undid what Satan did with Adam and Eve. Satan disarmed Adam and Eve by deceiving them, playing upon their vulnerabilities and their doubts of God, and stripping them of the authority that God had endowed them with over the earth and everything in it. Jesus came

Cross, Resurrection, And Authority Restored

Dina LaFargue Augustin 29:10

and fulfilled every legal demand by living in perfection, and hence he was able to take the keys of the kingdom back. So thus, when he went into the bowels of the earth, he made a mockery of all evil that dwelt there, all evil that perpetrated against his creation, and gave us the authority and power once again. So to the believer and unbeliever, I have laid out a brief history of the power of God, the history of God with his people, the truth of God, the life of God that has been given to us from start to finish. Truly in him, there is no beginning or end, but he gave us a beginning in him, and we have no end if we dwell in him. For us being in him, our souls do not die, but we live in him eternally, we live with him eternally in perfect peace if we so desire. It is a choice, and he tells us to choose life and not death. For he came into this earth and suffered and lived as a human, experiencing all the ups and downs of humanity that we suffered because of the evil that we committed by turning away from him. His love will not let us die. His love cannot, though, and will not be forced upon us. But he is long suffering. So I urge you to receive his love and to receive him and live. We have a reason to celebrate this season. We all have a reason to celebrate Christmas, no matter who we are or where we are, because the very fact that we live is proof that we are of God, and He is giving us every opportunity to receive Him before we take our last breath. Without His birth, without His incarnation, we have no Savior, we have no life in Him. We will live in eternal hell and condemnation, and that does not end. We would already be living in a society of pure evil if God was not so merciful as to send the living word who became His Son, who became a man to die for us. John 3 16 says it, for God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Choose Life: An Invitation To Believe

Dina LaFargue Augustin 32:00

My last words be blessed, be at peace, believe and be saved. Merry Christmas. Truth Drips.
