Light

Light.

Nothing can grow without it. It reveals things that darkness hides. When a seed is placed in the dark earth, it grows to reach the light above it.

Becoming born again is stepping out of the darkness into His marvelous Light. It means nothing hidden. Lies and deception hide in dark, but truth and love live in the Light. Decide to live in the Light where all things grow.

My Word is truth. It will bring Light and revelation, and faith grows there. All life will be drawn to the Light. Wisdom is constant when revelation comes. My Word will be as a seed that when cared for will grow strong. Plant it in your heart and fill your mind with it. Soon things that were not clear will be revealed to you.

Walk in the Light; don’t stumble in the dark.

Conquering Fear 12-23-18 Mark Linder

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.

The Gospel First Proclaimed 12-16-18

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.

The Work and Power of the Holy Spirit 5-6-18 Pastor Grace

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.

Spiritually Recharge

Recharge your spiritual battery.

Even in this time of great technology, things must be plugged into electricity to be recharged, filled with power. So must My children learn to be filled, rejuvenated by the power of My Word.

Going to church one a week will not sustain you all week anymore than eating one meal a week will sustain your physical body.

Discipline yourself to feed on My Word. It has wonders in it that you must tap into. Just as good food is filled with nourishment and the physical body responds to it with strength and energy, your spirit hungers to be filled with faith that comes from My Word.

Try committing to reading it every day and watch the results. An athlete would never show up to the Olympics without preparation. Can you prepare? Make a decision to grow your faith. Come and listen to what the Spirit of the Lord would teach you. 

I have much to tell. Come and listen.

Is Jesus’ Light Shining Through You? 12-9-18 Pastor Gray

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!

Revelation

open handLord, please bring out to the open what is hidden in secret.

Reveal that we all sin and so need a Savior.

Cover us with Your grace when our human frailty falls so short of all You’ve planned for us.

Let truth abound in this nation, in our cities, and in our homes.

May families give up their busyness and focus on loving those near to them.

Holy Spirit bring to our minds all we need to repent of, every detail. Nothing will hinder us from running into our Father’s arms. That the greatest of all loves might be embraced.

The Keys of Heaven and Dominion Rule 6-17-18

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.

From Your Father

woman worshiping, sunset in the backgroundWorship begins with a heart of gratitude. When you are grateful, it’s easy to worship. When you step into worship, your heart is focused on another and not self. Worship puts everything in the right perspective.

I first loved you, and when you love Me, you’ll trust Me on every detail of your life.

Worship is the beginning of prayer. You’re acknowledging that I am your Father, and you know I will never leave you.

I have an awesome plan for each one of you. Don’t let fear or unforgiveness keep you from entering into worship. It’s a place that is holy. My presence will fill the heart of those who surrender all and worship Me.

Come and see.

God’s Permissive Will and God’s Perfect Will 11-25-2018

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.
