Mighty Men Of God MMOG

Mighty Men Of God MMOG learn it say it and do it the things I say will affect the way I live so I will speak the word of Go a. i. We can think of water flowing through a hose. ii. c.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. For by grace you have been saved: Paul cannot speak of this glorious work God does without reminding us that it is a gift of grace, gi

ven to the undeserving. We are not even saved by our faith (though faith itself is not a work), but by grace through faith. The water is the important part, but it is communicated through the hose. The hose does not quench your thirst; the water does. But the hose brings water to the place you can benefit from it. ii. “The precise form of words here stresses two things. As consistently emphasized by Paul, it is entirely of His grace, His free, undeserved favour to mankind. Then also this salvation is presented as an accomplished fact.” (Foulkes)

b. And that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God: The work of salvation is God’s gift. Paul’s grammar here indicates that the words apply to the gift of salvation mentioned in Ephesians 2:4-8, and not directly to the faith mentioned in this verse. Clarke emphatically states that the original Greek is clear in noting that when it says it is the gift of God, the it referred to is salvation, not faith. The great Greek scholar Dean Alford also clearly pointed out that the this not of yourselves referred to salvation, not to faith in this passage. Yet, even our faith is a gift of God. We cannot believe in Jesus unless God does a prior work in us, for we are blinded by our own deadness and by the god of this age (2 Corinthians 4:4). iii. “But it may be asked: Is not faith the gift of God? Yes, as to the grace by which it is produced; but the grace or power to believe, and the act of believing, are two different things. Without the grace or power to believe no man ever did or can believe; but with that power the act of faith is a man’s own. God never believes for any man, no more than he repents for him; the penitent, through this grace enabling him, believes for himself.” (Clarke)

iv. This shows us the essential place of prayer in evangelism. Since God initiates salvation, we should begin our evangelism with asking God to do the initiating, and granting the ability to believe to those we want to see saved. Not of works, lest anyone should boast: God did it not of works simply so that no one could boast. If salvation was the accomplishment of man in any way, we could boast about it. But under God’s plan of salvation, God alone receives the glory. i. “I thought Napoleon did a good thing, when, on the day of his coronation, he took his crown, and put it on his own head. Why should he not take the symbol that was his due? And if you get to heaven, one half by grace and one half by works, you will say, ‘Atonement profited me a little, but integrity profited me much more.’ ” (Spurgeon)

d. For we are His workmanship: God saves us not merely to save us from the wrath we rightly deserve, but also to make something beautiful of us. We are His workmanship, which translates the ancient Greek word poiema. The idea is that we are His beautiful poem. The Jerusalem Bible translates workmanship as “work of art.”

i. God’s love is a transforming love. It meets us right where we are at, but when we receive this love it always takes us where we should be going. The love of God that saves my soul will also change my life. We are His workmanship, His creation – something new He has made of us in Jesus Christ. “The spiritual life cannot come to us by development from our old nature. I have heard a great deal about evolution and development, but I am afraid that if any one of us were to be developed to our utmost, apart from the grace of God, we should come out worse than before the development began.” (Spurgeon)

iii. “Our new life is as truly created out of nothing as were the first heavens, and the first earth. This ought to be particularly noticed, for there are some who think that the grace of God improves the old nature into the new. It does nothing of the sort.” (Spurgeon)

e. Created in Christ Jesus for good works: That beautiful thing God is making of us is active in good works. These are just as much a part of God’s predestined plan as anything else is. These good works are valid evidence that someone is walking as one of God’s chosen. i. “Works play no part at all in securing salvation. But afterwards Christians will prove their faith by their works. Here Paul shows himself at one with James.” (Wood)

What I don’t understand is why we have people that believe in socialism working in our government, court, and schools. We are a country based on freedoms our constitution and the ability to walk in this freedom is completely compromised when socialism is work to under mind this. I understand people can live in this country but to hold office or create laws you should be there undermining the constitution and the people’s freedoms socialism is from the king of England and we beat him back once now his people are in our office, courts , and schools if you believe in freedom speed the word

May we all living under victory
The Leap: A Journey of Faith and Unexpected Grace
The Arizona sun beamed its warm caress of light through the stained-glass windows of Living Word Church in Mesa, It was as if the words were coming from Christ himself that Sunday morning in 2007. This real illumination came from the pulpit. Vibrated across the congregation and straight into my head. My whole life and 12.5 years of senseless self-imprisonment, a fear that had been my compass, fueled by a childhood image of a judgmental God standing over me just waiting for me to do bad. Dr. Tom Anderson's sermon, however, shattered that perception.
"God isn't punishing you," he said, his voice radiating warmth. "Sin has its consequences, but love, true love, conquers sin. And Jesus is that love."
Relief washed over me like a tidal wave. This wasn't the God I feared, but a God of compassion and understanding. Thirsting for a deeper connection, I enrolled in bible college in 2012. My knowledge grew, and with it, a profound realization: the creator of the universe offered me His grace. He was the only father I needed.
I yearned for a sign, and one day, while driving, the name "Dads Against M**h Use (DAMU Foundation)" materialized. In 2009, I'd started a charity, but funding a fundraiser proved impossible. The night before the event, on the verge of despair. The convention center I was holding the event in wanted 5000 dollars more for security and I had nothing left. I prayed out loud and cried for help. Then for the first time in my life I heard his voice, a calming presence, soothed me, "Don't worry son. I got this he said." The next morning, a check for $5,200 – my tax return – sat in the mailbox. From that moment, doubt vanished. The event was a huge success. Faith was the thing I was lacking at that moment, but it was a starting point that leads me to this story.
Fast forward to June 2014. Dr. Anderson's sermon resonated deeply. "Apply your faith to God's love, and wait for it with anticipation or hope, he urged. "You will see the unseen will become seen; the unknown become known in your life" What did it mean?
Seeking clarity, I approached Dr. Anderson after service. "It's about trusting," he explained. "Taking a leap of faith, like Abraham he heard the Lord's word and stepped into it and like Abraham, God will honor it and provide your promised land to you."
Fueled by newfound faith, I made a seemingly crazy decision. Two weeks later, I quit my job, sold the house, and ventured into the forested mountains of Payson, Arizona with my family. This was our leap, into theur promised land.
Five harsh weeks later, reality bit. Living in a makeshift shelter, our savings dwindled. The relentless rain on that Fourth of July echoed the storm within me. Was this God's punishment? Had I made a terrible mistake?
Defeated, we packed up, the future uncertain, driving without direction. As we left Payson, a beacon of hope – a "$250 Move-In Special" sign – pierced the gloom.
Desperation fueled my plea to the manager. He mentioned a four-bedroom house with a car lot – perfect for a business, he said. But the price – a staggering sum for us – was a crushing blow.
Back in Mesa, on a Thursday evening, I poured out my frustrations in prayer. Then, a familiar voice. A friend from church, sensing my despair, offered a miracle – the move-in cost and a year's rent. Tears streamed down my face. This was a tangible answer, a testament to the power of Faith and God's luv for us all.
We returned to Payson, not just with a roof, but with a chance. My business flourished, nurtured by faith, hard work, and the unwavering support of my family and that extraordinary friend. Thank you
Looking back, the "unseen becoming seen" wasn't a grand vision in the forest, but the subtle nudges – Dr. Anderson's words, the chance encounter, the friend's generosity. Faith isn't about blind leaps; it's about trusting the path, even when it takes unexpected turns. And sometimes, the promised land isn't a place, but a journey of faith and unexpected blessings, which unfolds with each passing day.
like a muscle faith grows when apply it to your life. So let me tell you if you want to see God in action in your life, you need to step outlet go, and let God. The journey will not be easy, and God will take you over the edge so you can see it is him. He is that sliver of light in this world of darkness. He will bring a new understanding of life; the waters will get deep when the rain falls. But in the end, God's love for you will conquer all that comes against you “Faith is not for the weak-hearted, it’s a place where the blind can see”! With that said my faith would be tested to its core my sinful nature would combust into a forest fire so watch what you ask for when you ask your heavenly father for his mighty hand of help.
A Troubling Stop in Payson
A Test Drive Turns Turbulent: A Story of Faith and Injustice
After the first year of living and building a business, it finally started to self-sustain its ability to pay the bills and we could even see growth. Business was good the mobile service and sales lot were thriving. Everything but Joe I had fallen back into addiction and was starting to come unglued, then on 01/05/2016, My dream of building a life in Payson hit a detour. I was test driving a repaired U-Haul on Highway 87, heading down the hill on the 87 I cried out to god “please lord take this sweet tooth in have for drugs out of my head. Was I in for a big surprise no sooner did I turn around and head back up the mountain on icy roads that were forcing me to maintain a safe distance behind a semi-truck? Suddenly, the tooth fairy officer Skee began following me. When we entered Payson, he pulled me over. In front of Circle K.
I wasn't speeding, I wasn’t driving bad, I wasn’t doing anything wrong but I know he was going to pull some teeth. He claimed I didn't pass the truck "fast enough."
Then he asked me to step out of the U-Haul he patted me down and then searched the truck but this tooth fairy was sent from God to do his job and I knew it. He ordered me to take off my boots, socks, and jacket even though all was good he continued calling in back up then digging through my wallet he found that all he needed to begin pulling there was a small plastic baggie. I swear half my teeth hit the ground. as an ex-felon on probation this is game over, they’re going to violate me and send me back to prison. Then the strangest thing happened the tooth fairy ordered the officer standing next to me to take me into the circle K restroom and strip search me. A clear violation of my civil rights at its highest level how low will officer Skee scoop to pull my teeth.
The situation escalated quickly. A simple minor traffic violation. With out merit to warrant the stop in the first place along with a complete violation of my civil rights. I’m asking for the evidence to be suppressed.
Things took a turn for the worse. when Officer Skee "found" an empty red coin baggie in my wallet.. Without field testing the content inside it he arrested , Then came the disturbing part: he ordered me to be strip search in a public restroom at the circle K- not once, but twice! Incredibly, the officer saved the encounter on the car camera, using it as "evidence."
The charade continued at the station. After sitting with Officer Skee for around ten min a officer came in yelling, I found his drugs claiming I through them over the wall outside the building so Skee gave me a class 2 felony, then attempted to have blood drawn multiple times – for a DUI Thankfully the hospital refused to admit me. when entering the jailhouse, the officer told me that they have to test everyone coming in the UA strip was later used to book me on the DUI
The next day, the charges were dropped, and I was told that if I stay out of trouble for 7 years the charges would go away. However, the ordeal wasn't over. Probation violated me, sending me to Phoenix for ten days
Despite the injustice, faith remained my anchor. In jail, I found men studying the Bible and felt a calling to share my beliefs. For ten days, I focused on healing and the power of faith.
The night before my court hearing, we studied the story of the just and unjust judge. and the next day My lawyer, concerned about the judge's reputation, for being unjust advised a delay. But I felt convinced - this was the judge I needed to face.
In court, the judge asked me why he should let me go home instead of prison. I explained to him that I had moved to Payson to get away from drugs but that I had relapsed and felt that I had stabbed Jesus in his back but that Jesus turned around smiled and said he was not done blessing me . The judge looked down at me and said well then go home and go about your father’s business.
"Go home," he said, "and go about your father's business." No judge would ever say that These word are written in my heart
This ordeal wasn't about a traffic stop; it was about faith tested and ultimately victorious. There was no reason for the stop, the searches, or the threats. But through it all, I found my purpose and emerged stronger, ready to move forward.

The Leap: A Story of Faith and Unexpected Blessings
It was a Sunday morning in June 2014, the Arizona sun streaming through the stained-glass windows of Living Word Church in Mesa. That sermon would forever change my understanding of God. For as long as I could remember, fear had been my compass. Raised on the idea of a punishing God, I carried that weight through 12.5 years in prison. But in 2007, upon release, I found Dr. Tom Anderson, the church's pastor. His words that Sunday were a revelation.
"God isn't punishing you, Joe," he said, his voice warm. "Sin has consequences, yes, but pure love doesn't punish. It conquers sin. And Jesus is that love."
A wave of relief washed over me. This wasn't the God I feared, but a God of understanding and compassion. It was a turning point. I enrolled in bible college in 2012, thirsting for a deeper connection.
Then, another sermon in June 2014. Dr. Anderson spoke of applying faith to God's love, waiting with anticipation. "The unseen will become seen," he said, "the unknown become known." What did it mean?
After service, I found Dr. Anderson. "It's about trusting," he explained. "Taking a leap of faith, like Abraham in the Bible. God will honor it and grant you your promised land."
Two weeks later, fueled by newfound faith, I made a crazy decision. I quit my job, sold the house, and with my family, headed for the forested mountains of Payson, Arizona. It was a gamble, our promised land.
Five weeks in, reality hit. We were broke, living in a makeshift shelter. On that Fourth of July, rain hammered down, a constant drumbeat against our dwindling hope. Was this God's punishment? Had I made a terrible mistake?
Defeated, we packed up and left the forest, driving with no direction, our future uncertain. As we passed through Payson, a sign caught my eye: "$250 Move-In Special." A sliver of hope flickered.
I stopped, desperation fueling my plea to the manager. He mentioned a four-bedroom house with a car lot – a perfect setup for a business, he said. But the price – $4,000 move-in and $1,648 monthly rent – was a crushing blow. We couldn't afford it. Defeated again, we turned to leave Payson behind.
Back in Mesa, on a Thursday evening, I found myself in prayer, pouring out my frustrations. Suddenly, a familiar voice broke the silence. It was a friend from church. He noticed my despair and after hearing my story, said simply, "Joe, I've got the money. The move-in and the whole year's rent. Go back and start your business."
Tears welled up in my eyes. It was a miracle, a tangible answer to my prayers. We returned to Payson, not just with a roof over our heads, but with a chance. My business thrived, fueled by faith, hard work, and the unwavering support of my family and that unexpected friend.
Looking back, I realize the "unseen becoming seen" wasn't a grand vision in the forest. It was the quiet nudges – Dr. Anderson's words, the chance encounter, my friend's generosity. Faith isn't about blind leaps; it's about trusting the path, even when it takes unexpected turns. And sometimes, the promised land isn't a place, but a journey of faith and unexpected blessings.

Hi, my name is Joseph Terborg and I'm sure that someone on this page lives in Payson or knows someone. What I'm about to tell you will blow your mind if you're a business owner. Beware
I’ll start with mobile 1 RV service We are a Limited Liability Corp, C2 zoning and we have a conditional auto sales permit. We have a 4.5-star rating and an A+BBB rating. We offer the best service around open every day from 7 am to 7 pm we offer Roadside service, and we sell on consignment RVs. but most importantly this business belongs to God, he brought me here and put me on this sales lot Rent free for a whole year after stepping out in faith and seeking out my promised land. Things could not have been going better until 09/15/2019 when two men would change my life forever. these men brought me and my company a box trailer with a broken axle and a story of their trailer being stolen in Phoenix by a relative and dumped on the highway where it was recovered and brought to me for repairs. I thought their story was fake and called DPS and as I thought the trailer was never stolen. 5 months go by and this guy from New York the owner finally gets back with me and starts saying that he had all his personal belongings in that trailer and that it better all be in there????? We told him The trailer was not full of anything, and there was a locked door.. then he told us that he was sending over a relative to pick up his trailer and that he worked for the Payson Police Department. he was given 48 hr to remove his trailer. then on 06/25/2020 Payson Police arrested me for fraud schemes, theft, and auto theft. gave me a 10,000 dollar bond, destroyed a customer Corvette, posted a news press release calling me a thief, and then had the nerve to have my business license taken claiming that my Google profile is so bad and that because I'm an ex-felon that they felt obligated to destroy 9 years of hard work and put me out of business and offering me 9.5 years in prison and a 30,000 dollar fine. This man living in New York stole 22,000 dollars from a customer in New York on the same day his wife signed my invoice 01/22/2020. he then on 02/07/2020 called the police and even though in their indictment the officer flat out lied purging himself, a sworn peace officer of the state of AZ, and Payson Police Detective flat out made up a story and a date. The courts are still wanting prosecution.
beware Payson business owners you could be next this is by far the saddest most horrifying thing that has ever happened to me and my family and I want every business owner to know what's going on in this town. when we can't count on the men who are to uphold the law take it upon themselves to viciously attack the people who pay their wages and the courts fail to make them accountable be very afraid you could be next. Joseph Terborg 928-301-1603 spread this to everyone.
