You can access all the facts about Jesus and get all the right information but never come into an intimacy with Him that will allow you to know and understand His heart. God is intimate and He is calling us to linger in His presence. He desires to speak peace and comfort to us. Don't run out of the prayer closet, but wait on the Lord. He has something so special to say to you.
When we violate the laws of God sin will become a weight so heavy that we will find ourselves stuck on the ground. There is something in the heart of God that yearns for you. God will begin to stretch forth His hand and lift us out of impossible places. He doesn't sit in Heaven with His arms crossed despising your struggle. He deeply desires you to allow Him to take you by the hand and lift you into His awesome love and power.
The voice of the Lord is coming to all the Jehosephats of this generation asking, "What are you doing helping those who exploit the poor, the widows and the fatherless?" God is beseeching them to ask Him for an eye salve anointing that they may see again and to ask for a purity of heart to look away from self and come back to the simplicity that is in Christ. False prophets are resisting Christ Himself for power, money and fame. Biblical prosperity is not given to bigger cars and houses. Biblical prosperity is to be poured out for lost humanity with the compassion and selflessness of Jesus Christ.
The greatest temptation in our generation is prosperity because under the circumstances of prosperity we forget the Lord. Prosperity tends to lead us into thinking we can walk in our own strength. We must humble ourselves in the prayer closet and begin to commune with God. When we put Christ in the right place we can endure every temptation and trial.
La montagne que vous devez déplacer c'est l'incrédulité. L'incrédulité attriste le cœur de Dieu et lui fait mal. Dieu n'approuve pas l'incrédulité. Il y a de ces souffrances au travers desquelles nous passons, et qui nous conduisent dans un lieu où nous sommes amenés à prononcer l'ultime prière, la prière du désespoir. Ce lieu s'appelle Gethsémané. Après avoir jeûné, prié et pleuré, nous nous écrierons comme Jésus l'a fait : « Non pas ma volonté, mais la tienne ». La victoire est acquise lorsque nous sommes profondément convaincus de l'amour de Dieu.
The window of faith is not an opportune time but an inopportune time when everything looks hopeless. God allows death to roll over our promises and we stop telling God how to fix our problems. God is searching for a people who will fully trust Him when all hope and human possibility is gone. In these last days God is going to have a wholly dependent people who don't live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Because of the sin of Adam the entire human race has fallen into sin and death. Life is filled with sorrow and tears. All of us will face death. In this world filled with sin, death and sorrow comes a life-giver. Jesus Christ steps on to the scene and brings an incredible message of life so He can save us. There is no death in Christ. He is the resurrection and He is life. Jesus is the life-giver who was sent into this world of death and sin to die on a cross and bear our sins so we can receive the free gift of eternal life!
The only requirement for God to use us mightily is to get us to understand and admit that we are nothing. God didn’t choose us because we were strong and wise. He chose the foolish and weak things to confound the wise. God doesn’t need anything to make something. He is a God who makes something out of nothing. God needs nothing to work with. Too many in the church today are not willing to admit that we are nothing, and so we are hindering God from working in us and through us. If you know you are nothing and you understand your need for God, this preaching is for Good for Nothing (You)!
God will raise up the tabernacle David again. This consists of men and women who seek God in the manner that He deserves. These are people who willingly offer themselves entirely to the Lord and expect nothing back but His presence. God dwells with ordinary people who concern themselves with the depth of the need and give all they have for the cause of Christ. The Tabernacle of David is a people who posses the heart of God and then take His heart to a fallen humanity.
Yes is such a powerful word. There are two types of yes. The first is an automatic yes; this is a person who says a quick yes to God and does not back up their words with obedience. This automatic yes says I will do but never does and says I will go but never goes. The second yes says I will go and goes where God is directing them and begins to do what God is calling them to do. In these last days we should be found in the Father's vineyard laboring and scattering the seed of His Word so that the entire world will know that Jesus Christ is alive. The blessings to the nations are found in an obedient yes. Will you say yes with your mouth and obey with your feet?
