The writer of Hebrews spends a lot of time addressing the issue of worshiping angels over Jesus. While this may not be as much of an issue in today's church, it is an example of glorifying supernatural manifestations more than Jesus himself. Anytime we compare something to Jesus or let it compete with him in our life, we make that thing an idol. God wants all idols to be broken in our life. Idols will break when you know who you are in Christ, when you worship Jesus above all else, when you love righteousness more than anointing and when God is on the throne of your heart.

We often look to men to rule over us, direct us and speak into our lives. We place more emphasis on pastors, prophets and politicians than we do on Jesus. Jesus is our Lord and King. He is the one true Prophet who speaks into our lives and He is our High Priest, interceding on our behalf. When we truly understand who Jesus is and what He has done for us, we can't help but worship Him in fullness and without restraint. When He is preeminent in a church, the culture and people will become more like Him — showing mercy, grace and tenderheartedness toward one another.

Christ has covered us. If Christ has covered us God help us to be kind enough to extend that kindness to other people around us. I believe if we choose this path then we’ll begin to truly find the strength of His love flowing through us. The strength of Christ’s Love is that we take the first step in covering a transgression. Then His love comes.

Don't give up on your kids — God hasn't. He has a plan and a purpose for their lives. The fight for your kids begins with a cry. Go to the secret closet of prayer and bring your children to the feet of Jesus. He will move you from a place of fear to a place of faith and shut out the voice of the enemy. Feed your children the Word of God. Live it out in front of them. Offer it to them, but don't shove it down their throats. Let them "taste and see." It's not our job to change our kids. We entrust them to Jesus. He will meet them where they are at and awaken His Spirit within them.

Marriage is a covenant relationship between a man and a woman, witnessed by God. When divorce enters the picture, it tears apart something that was never meant to be split. It's painful. It's marital bankruptcy — more has been withdrawn from the relationship than has been deposited into it. Marriages don't fall apart over night though. They spiral downward from disappointment, discouragement and disbelief, all leading to desertion. God is not a passive witness, but an active one who is present and assists us. He promises to walk with us, warm cold hearts, open His Word to us and wake His Spirit within us.

We can truly represent God in this generation. We can put down our stones. We can be ambassadors of the one that went to a cross and said, “Father forgive them they don’t know what they are doing.” We can put our arms around people as the father did to the prodigal son, help them and empower them to be everything that God is calling them to be. We still have that opportunity to bear each other’s burdens. To represent Christ to a generation that still needs to know Him. It is the love of God in our hearts that will make the difference.

Pastor Gary Wilkerson shares a few key proverbial items that must be considered before marriage. You must make sure your're not being hasty. In today's culture there is a tendency to rush into things. Make sure you're not compromising — dating someone that is less than what God has for you. Don't get married until you have looked under the surface. When dating we put our best foot forward. Give the relationship time to see how you each handle the tough times and that there is no hidden sin. Finally, we must understand that marriage is a reflection of the unbreakable covenant that God the Father made with Christ.

In our generation, something is happening in our time that began to separate Christ from His church. Why am I crying out to Him and He is not answering me? All throughout history we have time and again seen when ordinary people go in and seek the face of God with honesty, that Jesus Christ be made Lord. Find the fulfillment of these words of Jeremiah the prophet, “You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.”

Many families are struggling through pains, sorrows and difficult situations behind false "happy" facades. We turn to the world or lean on our own flesh and efforts for deliverance. We're trying to get free from sin and curses that have been passed down our generational line, only to end up passing them on to our own children. The good news is that Jesus Christ has broken all generational curses. You have a new inheritance and a new Father, who gives you everything you need pertaining to life and godliness.

This message is for people who feel that God used their life at one time and feel that for whatever reason, some measure of the hope, the vision, the encouragement, the life that you had, has somehow slipped through your fingers. Is it possible that God could ever rekindle you? God doesn't lose anything put into His hands. Your part, and mine, in our generation is just to get up and join the endless procession of those who have made the choice to get up and build the life that truly glorifies God in the earth.
