“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12 NKJV).
We do not war according to the flesh, and we do not war against flesh and blood. Our weapons are supernatural, and so is our enemy. If we want to see the world changed for the Lord Jesus Christ, we need to get violent. Violent against the enemy, the devil.
God is giving us time right now to judge ourselves. And He gives us the barometer in 1 John 3:14 of how you are and how you feel inside: have you passed from death unto life with eternal life abiding in you?
Guest speaker Mark Linder uses 2 Timothy 1:7 to expound on confronting and dealing with fear and rising up as Christians. Once you understand your identity in Jesus, you can quit pretending to be somebody else.
When we believe the lie, we empower the liar. When we believe the Truth, we empower the Living God to flow through us with His Holy Spirit and start delivering the oppressed and the captives. Fear is not from God. Jesus came to deliver you from that spirit of fear.
God placed enmity between Satan’s seed and Eve’s seed, but just what is Satan’s seed?
Jesus crushed the head of Satan at Calvary; He destroyed hell and the grave and removed the sting of death. He took the keys to the kingdom of heaven and gave them to the Church. In so doing this, He crushed the head of Satan. This was accomplished in Genesis 3:15.
Pastor Bill Grace talks about the ministry of the Holy Spirit and allowing God to move as He chooses in our lives and in our churches.
Jesus became man and came to Earth. He operated by the Holy Spirit the same way we do. Everything we walk through, Jesus has already walked there.
There is victory in the Father, the Holy Spirit, and in Himself. Deity came down to us!
Heaven controls everything, and Christ has given believers the keys to heaven: to bind and to loose.
By our faith our words establish heaven here on earth. He’s given us the keys to heaven that the gospel might be preached and people will be saved.
In showing God’s permissive will and His perfect will for our lives, Pastor Gray discusses how God used the Ephesians’ urging not to go as Paul sets his face toward Rome. God had given Paul a word: he would speak before kings (Acts 9:15). Both these messages were from the Lord, but one represented God’s perfect will, the other His permissive will.
God can use conflicting messages to show us His permissive will and His perfect will.
Pastor discusses the kabowd glory of God–the weightiness–and how it differs from the shekinah glory–the majesty–of God.
God comes to us suddenly. As the disciples waited in the Upper Room in Jerusalem, the waited in expectation. When the Holy Spirit came, they experienced the weightiness of God.
Do we come to church every Sunday with the expectation of God making Himself known to us?

Pastor Gray begins his sermon by discussing the gift of music he has and involves others of the congregation as well. He expounds on the importance of activating our faith by using the gifts God has given us for His kingdom.
We will all account for whether used our gifts or not when w appear before the judgment seat, 2 Corinthians 5:10.
