September 5, 2010 - If we are in Christ we live under a canopy of mercy because Jesus shed His blood for us. This message is for those who have bought into the devil's lie that you have to be in spiritual victory in order for you to ask something big of the Lord. Do not believe this lie! Do not push away the mercy of God because you have decided that you don't deserve it. If you are in a compromised state put a voice to the cry in your heart and ask big. When we run to God's for mercy and we begin to agree with Him. He will break every stronghold. God confuses and confounds hell with the greatness of His mercy!
September 5, 2010 - There are so many of us on this journey who truly desire to live a life that honors God. We come to church and work hard practicing self discipline only to end up like a stringed instrument that is wound up too tight. We become rigid in our determination to serve Him to the point that we can snap at any moment because we are bending under the weight of trying to do good and please God. Today we are reminded that God sends an invitation to all who are weary and heavy laden. He invites us to come into a power and a rest that is not our own. The call is to those who know they are dependent on God alone. The secret place of God's rest is not found in strength but in weakness. It's not found in knowledge but in complete trust in Him. Declare your trust in Jesus and He will take you into the secret place of His presence.
August 31, 2010 - God wants to prepare His church for the days that are coming. We are to be ready for the coming destruction but also anticipate the greatest outpouring of God's Spirit. Everyone that is a lukewarm Christian will not make it. This message urges us to get into the Word of God and get back into the prayer closet until the fire of God empowers us and the love of God can flow through us to every lost soul. It is time to get right with God. It is time to pray like never before!
August 29. 2010 - We are living in a time when the church is coming into a Joshua victory; A time when strength and courage will be given to all who want the full life of Christ and His purposes to flow through their lives. Coming to Jericho means coming to a place that is a stronghold; A place that the enemy has an entrenched area in our heart and mind. God in His mercy and wisdom will bring us face to face with these obstacles so He can supernaturally demolish them. We know we are maturing when we confront these obstacles, fully persuaded of the God's love and faithfulness to do whatever it takes to set us free. God says He has given Jericho into our hands so that we will know the complete victory that is promised to us in Jesus Christ. This day your hour of deliverance has come and there will be a supernatural deliverance!
September 29, 2010 - It is very hard to get right with God in the midst of panic and calamity. Now is the time to make right choices so we can have strength to get through the coming days. Fear is one of the most powerful weapons that Satan uses against God's people. Fear strips away our faith. Fear finds its strength against us when we look at what lies ahead and we come to a wrong conclusion that even with Christ within us we will not be able to make it through hard times. We must begin to embrace the Word of God so we can be empowered to do the will of God and the life of Christ can love through us to those who need a Savior.
August 22, 2010 - God is well able to give you complete spiritual victory. If you are going through a wilderness experience the Word of the Lord to you is be strong and be very courageous. We have the promises and provision of God to keep us from taking the imprint of the world. The only thing that dies in the wilderness is unbelief. We will not be defeated by despair and fear because God’s promises give us all the strength and courage we need. We must be a people who will turn to the Word of the Lord and trust Him to bring us into the Promised Land. Entering into the Promised Land means entering into the victory that we have in Jesus Christ.
August 17, 2010 - God said in the last days He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. While the world is getting ready for destruction God is getting ready to break out in revival. It is time for us to seek God and ask Him to raise up a generation of young people who are filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. God is determined to have a last days army. It is time to turn loose from everything that hinders us and begin to seek Him in earnestness until He breaks through!
August 15, 2010 - When we first come to Jesus we get a revelation of His love, power and forgiveness. By design Jesus will make it so that we receive a progressive revelation of who He is. We
cannot fully identify with Jesus and His Cross until we receive a second touch from Him. A revised revelation is when we the Holy Spirit begins to reveal the Cross and our response is to lay down our life and live the crucified life for the purposes of God's Kingdom and the lost. Until we are ready to lay down our life we will never receive a revised revelation.
August 15, 2010 - God created us in His image with an eternal purpose. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we must be pure and holy in every area of our life. The Bible gives a stern warning about immoral living and sex outside of the bounds of marriage. Satan wants to destroy your body and he offers you momentary pleasures but it has eternal consequences. God also has an eternal plan for your body and soul. God has given us the Holy Spirit to empower us against all sin so we can live pure and holy lives. If you are in an immoral relationship God wants to break the ties and set you free. Don't wait another minute, cry out to God for deliverance!
August 8, 2010 - Have you ever been walking along on your journey with Jesus and realize you have wandered away from Him? We can go to church every Sunday and lose Jesus in rituals, religion and relationships. Somehow He just gets lost in the clutter of our lives. This message reminds us not to settle for the natural when God offers us a supernatural life. There comes a time when we must allow the supernatural power of God impact our worship, warfare and witness. Today you can choose to open your heart and allow Jesus to get into the inner most parts so He can astound you with His love and power.
August 3, 2010 - The God who created the universe and put the galaxies in place gives us the privilege to come into His presence and talk with Him. He commands us not to worry about anything but to pray about everything. We can call out to our Father who knows what we need before we even ask Him. Whatever your situation God’s got the solution. All the promises are ours for the asking. So then why don't you get alone with Him? Talk to Him and expect a miracle!
August 1, 2010 - Sometimes when God makes a promise to us that seems to be way out in the future we can tend to hold on and settle for something that is right in front of us. We may hold on to relationships, plans, dreams and/or a set of goals. Many times these are the very things that are hindering us from the supernatural plan that God has for our lives. This message provokes us to have a direct confrontation with these things and a mindset that says this thing needs to go! As we begin to let go God will begin to take us into the blessings that were already promised to us. The rest comes when we simply agree with God in every area of our life.
July 25, 2010 - As we read through the miracles in the Bible there is a teaching for us in all of them. To enter into the miracle of intercession we are called to obtain the miraculous and also offer the miraculous to others. We are called to praise Him for the miracles and also pray for miracles for others. Intercession is a choice we make to petition God on behalf of someone else. We reach out to God with one hand and we extend our other hand to His people. God is raising up an army of intercessors who will prevail in prayer until they get the breakthrough!
July 20, 2010 - Have you ever gotten so low with Jesus that you washed His feet with your tears? God wants us to serve Him with a humble heart. We are to pray, love and give passionately in the service of God. Half hearted devotion is unacceptable in the Kingdom of God. This message provokes us to cry out to God so He can fill us with the intensity and fire of the Holy Spirit. Give everything you have to the Lord and watch the miraculous unfold in your life!
July 18, 2010 - Peter's problem was not that he was impetuous or quick at the lip. At the base of all Peter's issue was the Cross. The Cross doesn’t promise that when we agree to walk with God that the storms in our lives will cease. The Cross doesn’t offer a “mountain top” religion with all glory and no pain. There is nothing pretty or desirable about the Cross. Nobody wants to suffer or have the deepest issues of their heart uprooted. Nevertheless the Cross must become central to a Christian's life. When we choose to identify with the Cross we are choosing to die to a self-centered life and to live a life that is others-centered. Sometimes the biggest Cross we have to bear is coming to terms with the fact that we cannot bear our cross in our own strength. Give up your “power” to help yourself and let God's power lift you up and take you where you cannot go in your own strength.
July 18, 2010 - What a mess we make in the Kingdom of God when we try to perfect or complete the work of God in the natural. Jesus Christ brings true victory to those who simply walk in faith. We must cast off the natural and come back to the supernatural power of God. It is a wonderful thing to be led of the Spirit. It is an awful thing to be led by the flesh. God gives us His Word and with His Word comes supernatural strength. Whatever you are struggling with God will make a way of escape. God is faithful and you will not be triumphed over.
July 11, 2010 – What does it mean to die? We are given an invitation from Christ to follow Him into His death so that His life can be manifested in us. If we attempt to hold on to a false view of ourselves and our own sense of what we think our life should be, we risk losing the glory of God that could have been revealed to us and through us. Jesus was born to die and born to be given for others. True life comes when we are totally abandoned to the work of God. The power of the Christian life is found in being given for others. Our Cry must be “Father glorify your name!”
July 11, 2010 - There will be many seasons in our life when our heart becomes heavy and we are tempted to draw back from what the Lord is calling us to do. When you get tempted to quit, fix your eyes on Jesus our Savior who was crucified with His arms open wide so He could embrace humanity. Whenever times get rough allow the Cross to lead you to a totally surrendered life. The ability not to quit comes from the power of the Cross. We don't give up, because in the deepest part of our suffering Jesus is there and He promises never to leave us. We are called to make an imprint of freedom for next generation.
July 6, 2010 - When we attempt to stand in our own strength we can be sure we will fall. Pride tells us we can do things in our own strength - independent from God. It is important to remember that in the midst of our struggles and failures Jesus is praying that our faith will not fail. When you fail don't throw in the towel. Keep coming back to God so He can pick you up and give you the courage and strength to go on. Pride will take us down but humility will cause is to stand by God's grace. The only way we can be victorious is in Christ. This message reminds us that Jesus ever lives to make intercession for us!
July 4, 2010 - As Christians we must understand the power of praise and how it affects our lives. We all have problems but we also have a God in heaven who wants to solve them. Satan is always reducing God and increasing our problems. But when we are in the atmosphere of praise we begin to see everything in the right perspective. God gets bigger, our problems get smaller and Satan has to flee. We can choose to praise God and thank Him for His mercy and faithfulness. Praise Him because we know He is the answer to all our problems. God is greater than anything we will go through and He is able to accomplish the impossible. Let's make a choice to stop worrying and start praising God. The One who saved us can keep us!
July 4, 2010 - This message encourages us to take every opportunity to intentionally bring to mind what Jesus Christ accomplished for us on Cavalry's Tree. So that we will be able to endure in times of difficulty and not grow proud in times of prosperity. Jesus gives us a mandate to remember all He has done for us. We must remember when we had no hope and no strength and God stretched out His hand and freed us from all our bondage. Also, remember to love, esteem and pray for the body of Christ. Lastly, remember the lost. Don't forget to care for the people who don't necessarily care for you. Remember the Cross and what Jesus sacrificed for us so we can live in true freedom.
June 29, 2010 - There will come a time in the life of every Christian believer when we can have the privilege of defending God's character against the devil. The enemy comes with a lie within the lie. First he lies to us about ourselves and then he lies about God. Ultimately he attempts to distract and deceive to keep us out of the prayer closet and out of our Bibles. Ultimately the attack is always against the goodness and faithfulness of God. In Christ we have the power and the privilege to declare that God is good, God's will is best and His love for us endures forever. When the enemy comes like a flood don't run away from God, run into His arms and declare His goodness and watch the devil have to flee!
June 27, 2010 - When we come to Christ we must by faith believe that our sins were paid in full by His precious Blood. The Bible says He was wounded for our transgressions and He was bruised for our iniquities. The sacrifice was made one time and we don’t have to smite the Rock (Jesus) again. We don’t have to keep going to an altar call for salvation every time we fail. Salvation leads us into the completeness of Christ and we are invited to come boldly the throne of grace when we are weak and struggling. It doesn't matter what your need is today, come to Jesus and begin to speak to Him. Don't wait until you are strong, come when your weak and pour out your heart to Him. You can walk in assurance and confidence because of the Blood. Come and speak to Jesus, He wants to hear your voice.
June 20, 2010 - When we fail to appreciate the provision of God and don’t understand where He is leading us we will go backwards instead of forward. What a tragedy when we don’t see the divine purpose for our life and the Bible becomes a closed book. God provides for us manna from heaven and all the strength we need for our journey. It doesn't matter how difficult our trials become, we are called to go into the Bible and get God's vision for our lives because it will strengthen you and those around you. We serve the God of the miraculous and if we get into His Word there will be all the provision we need so that as the years go by we will be like a green tree full of fresh oil.
June 20, 2010 - There comes a time in life when we will have to choose who and what we are identified with. We cannot move towards the cross and still be indentified with the world. We must get close enough to the cross that we are indentified with Jesus. When Jesus cried from the cross ,'It is finished", He broke the grip that the world and sin had on us. We will not be triumphed over because of the finished work of Calvary!
June 15, 2010 - When fear and doubt try to captivate you and your back is against the wall cry out to God and He will hear and answer you. God will send angels to protect you. God is near to those who recognize their need for him. Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord promises to deliver His people. This message reminds us to go after the right things and turn away from the wrong things and when you need God the most He is just as close as the mention of His name. When was the last time you cried out to God? Psalm 34 says the poor man cried out and God delivered him from all his fears.
June 13, 2010 - We are living in a time when all the options of a safe and secure future are running out. The Church of Jesus Christ will never fully know the miracles of God's compassion until we run out of resources. We need a vision of our smallness combined with a vision of God's greatness. Jesus will wait until all human effort and reasoning are gone so we don't take credit for His miracles. A great touch of God is coming to those with a childlike faith who bring Jesus the little they have so He can multiply it.
June 6, 2010 - When we got saved Jesus took up residency in our heart and the very work that He was doing on earth came to us. He planted His heart and life in us and called us to join Him with His work on earth. A child of the day has a cry in their heart that says, “Jesus come and put a deposit of your love and life in me so I can reach out to the poor and needy.” In the last days the Bible says iniquity will abound and our love for one another will grow cold. It will get so vile and evil in the end times that many in the church will wrongly come to the conclusion that people are not worth giving our life for. This message reminds us not to bury the life of Christ in the cold ground of a hardened heart. Cry out to God until you are gripped with the value of one soul.
June 1, 2010 - As Christians we must choose to walk in the light of scriptures. We cannot make decisions based on our feelings or what we think is right. We must choose God's way above all else. God will forgive us and empower us to forgive. He will love us and enable us to love. Your situation is not impossible. When you love God and love His Word all things become possible. Today trust God to give you all His love and power to walk so we can be a light in a dark world.
May 23, 2010 - In these last days we will face every kind of storm. When the waves of difficulties come crashing in on us we must trust God and stand on every promise in the Bible. When God says we are going to the other side we do not need a second opinion in the storm. There is supernatural strength that will be given to us when we choose to obey God and simply take Him at His Word. This message reminds us to grab on to the Cross and hold on until Jesus takes us to the other side. No additional word is necessary. What God has spoken should be good enough to keep us no matter how dark the days get.
May 23, 2010 - As Christians we have within us the true God who spoke the universe into existence. The frailty of our vessels will not stop God from being God to us. When God allows us to go through difficult times we sometimes question if He is able to do the impossible in our situation. This message reminds us to take our eyes off our failures and fix our eyes on Jesus. Thank the Lord for what He has done for you. God will lead you into the secret place of thunder where the impossible becomes possible and the natural ends and the supernatural begins.
May 23, 2010 - Jesus knew what it was to minister according to God's will in times of great difficulty and sorrow. He was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief. As Christians we will have to go through betrayals, disappointments and painful experiences. It is in these seasons when we will be tempted to resolve in our heart that we will endure to the end but we will not allow ourselves to be hurt again! Have you been there? Are you there now? This message is a reminder of the radical love that was demonstated on the Cross. In Christ we can find strength to refuse to be offended and to become vulnerable again even if we know we might get hurt again. Will you choose to trust God down the road less traveled?
May 18, 2010 - The Word of God is not just another book. The Bible is God in written from. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. People perish without the knowledge of the Word of God. When we have the Word of God in us we can stand through every storm with a supernatural strength and courage. As a Christian it is vital for us to go beyond reading the Word of God to loving it. Ask God to help you to honor His Word. God's Word must not be second to anything in our life. Above all else honor and love God and His Word.
May 16, 2010 - What would be the outcome if we would simply choose to obey God? At some point we have to realize that the same God who created the universe lives inside of us and will enable us to accomplish all that He's called us to do. There comes a time when God doesn't have to speak anymore because you already know what He wants you to do. God says put away the old man and put away the old nature. He is seeking for a man after His own heart who would simply walk in obedience with Him. Are you embracing something that God has clearly told you to put away? The word of the Lord to you today is obey God! Obedience is the beginning of the journey of dancing.
May 11, 2010 - There is a flood of joy that Jesus Christ has for His church. When we don’t press through to where God would have us to go a dryness will set in our spirit. We must have the courage to go beyond salvation freedom and provision. God is calling us to press through in prayer, knowing we have nothing to bring to others if He does not give it to us. In the secret closet of prayer we will become one with the heart and hands of Jesus. The fullness of Joy comes when we are walking one in heart and one in mind with the Son of God who gave Himself for the souls of man. Ask and believe that your joy may be full!
May 9, 2010 - It doesn't matter how high the tides of anxiety rise, the Lord has made provision to comfort and delight our soul. How does Jesus break through an anxious and distracted heart? He speaks the same word to you that He spoke to Martha, “one thing is needful”. What did He mean by this? He is saying to His church that He has provided a place for us to sit beside Him. A place reserved just for you. When this truth pierces a Christian's heart we will find ourselves in His presence and the power of anxiety will be broken. He invites us to a place of divine participation and it is our privilege to wake up each morning and be found sitting at His feet. The cry of God to His church is to wake up and pray!
May 9, 2010 - We live in a society that desires to shut the mouth of God and close the mouth of those who would testify of God faithfulness. When we are in the midst of trials and hardship and we begin to speak about our pain we must always remember to bring everything back to the Cross and remind ourselves how Jesus suffered for us. Because of the Cross we can get through every situation knowing Jesus has provided everything we need to live in victory. The Holy Spirit wants to preach a message through our lives that will shake the world and bring Glory to God. Will you allow you life to become a message that preaches victory from the cross?
May 2, 2010 - Blessed is the man in whom there is no guile. God calls us to walk with Him in truth. When we get to the point where we try to cover the sin that God puts His finger on, we open a door of deception that leads us into a dark season. God in His mercy will send a messenger with a message for you to deal with your sin. If we have the courage to turn from our sin He will forgive and cleanse us. God is not against you He is for you. You can be free from sin, surrounded by His mercy and shouting for joy. Don't wait one more minute, deal with your sin!
April 25, 2010 - This message is for those who feel like giving up and have been wrestling with the following questions: Why does it seem like the unsaved are so much better off than I am? How come my walk is so narrow and strict while others in the body of Christ seem to be at liberty to enjoy a broader walk and are free to enjoy pleasures that I am deprived of? Your cry is God just give me one reason to go on with this journey. The reason is for the salvation of souls. Those who walk narrow will have something of God revealed through them so that many souls can be snatched out of the fires of hell. Judgment is coming and God wants you to be a testimony to every lost soul. Will you live your life for the betterment of others? You are going to heaven and God wants to use you to take some souls with you.
April 18, 2010 - Do we have the moral courage like Daniel to see our part in what has become a spiritual landslide in this generation? We must go into the prayer closet and allow the Holy Spirit to show us where we neglected to do what God has called us to do. Our cry must be, “How can my life bring glory to God?” We must turn away from everything that hinders us from glorifying God. The key to get out of our struggle is total surrender to the will of God! When we stretch out our hands to His will, God will do something supernatural in us and through us.
April 18, 2010 - God chose us and it seemed like we were the least likely to succeed. The Lord never asks us for anything but our heart. As God begins to show us who He is, He will also show us who we are in Him. We come to understand that we have nothing, but He has everything. We recognize the only way we can do the impossible is to know that we are in the hands of the incredible. What is the thing that causes you the most fear? Now take that and compare it to God
April 11, 2010 – This message is for those who are in such a deep sorrow that you despair even of life. It is not that you want to commit suicide but you do want God to take your life and end it all. Be encouraged to know that God did not create you to live in loneliness and despair. Today God is reaching out to you through this message. Listen close and you will hear the whispers of God saying He loves you and He has something better for your life. He will give you power not just to change your life but to have a positive influence on others.
April 11, 2010 - The Bible tells us that in our relationships with one another there should be love, mercy, comfort and unity. We are called to humble ourselves and love one another. The question is how do we humble ourselves? Humility is based on a revelation of Jesus. We fix our eyes on Jesus and see Him in His humiliation and exaltation. As you see Him in His glory you will be moved in your heart by His character, love, suffering and resurrection. Be in awe of Him and allow the salvation and all He has done for you to work its way deep into your heart and then work its way out onto others. It is God who works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.
April 4, 2010 – This message is for those who are on a search for peace and hope but you are experiencing emptiness and guilt because of the sin in your life. Maybe you are trying to figure out a way to “get to” God and pay Him back for all the sins you committed. The good news is that Jesus is the Lamb of God; the perfect sacrifice for all mankind. If you simply come to Jesus and believe His Word you will be forgiven. There is a cry in the heart of God to draw His people into His love and peace. All you need is found in Jesus the Lamb of God!
April 4, 2010 - We thank God that through Jesus Christ, death has passed through the human race and we have been given eternal life. All who know Christ will be raised to a new life and will be with Him forever. The question is: do you know Jesus? You will never have a better opportunity to come to Jesus than right now. God loves you and He died on a Cross so you can be forgiven and cleansed from your sin. There is peace with God when you come and believe in all that He done for you.
March 28, 2010 – It is possible to know the truth and not practice it. We can be theologically correct but wrong in practice. When we have a wrong view of the Cross we will develop a religion that calls good evil and evil good thus becoming our own god. It is hard to stand for God but not impossible. Do we have the courage to admit to God that we really haven't been honestly walking with Him because we have been caring only about ourselves? Don't be your own god! Invite the strength of God to flow through you. We are called to obey God, be given for others and be a blessing on this earth. God wants to work His love and compassion in you and through you to others that do not know Him yet.
March 28, 2010 - You may find yourself coming to God's house yet you are still holding on to your old life, doing your own thing and hiding in the dark. You may find yourself grasping at that one thing that God has spoken and told you, “no, you cannot have this”, but you still insist on your own way because you want the right to it. Those who sin against God find themselves running from Him, hiding under a dark covering. This message is a loving reminder to every child of God that it doesn't matter where you run to hide. At some point you will hear a loving Father asking, “where are you”? You can run from God but you cannot hide because the nature of God is going to chase you down and make you realize His mercy will not let you go!
March 21, 2010 - This message is for those who are on the brink of falling into a pit of despair, you hit a wall and you are overwhelmed. In these times our faith cannot be based on emotion. We have to lay hold of who God is and believe what God says about Himself. Go to Jesus and ask Him for a manifestation of His love, faithfulness and power. Ask Him for guidance and direction. You will always hear Jesus say I love you, don’t be afraid! Don't lose your fight, God will show up in your situation.
March 21, 2010 - Christ is coming back for all those who made the choice to place their faith In Him who died on a cross for us. As we wait expectantly, what are we supposed to do in the meantime? We are to occupy. Whatever He has called us to do we must do to the glory of God. God is looking for faithful servants; those who will continue to serve Him a trust Him through hardships temptations and trials. God will be faithful to establish and keep us from the evil one! Settle the issue. Love God. Serve Him with all your heart!
