Genuine revival, genuine awakening, means coming back to the centrality of the Word of God. If darkness has crossed a line in your life, you don’t have to put up with it. You don’t have to bend your knee to darkness. It is God alone who can produce His own power. When God comes, people change, lives change.
Pastor Gary Wilkerson continues our "Faith for the Greatest Days of Your Life" series looking at the life of Esther. In her story we see a journey from sorrow to success. True godly success can only come through God Himself. He brings about a turn around in identity, family and purity.
Everything the serpent sowed in you will be destroyed; his power will be gone. The cleansing fire of God will come to us and reclaim us as His own. Burn with a passion for God, burn with a love for His Word, burn with thanksgiving for what He did on the cross! Burn with a desire to let Christ be Christ in you! We can only behold the Lamb of God when we come to the end of ourselves.
In the second part of our series Faith for the Greatest Days of Your Life, Pastor Gary Wilkerson looks at the life of Joseph. Most of us have been in a pit of some kind in our life; and if not we're probably heading toward one. Pastor Gary shows us four types of pits—one of which, we may not want to avoid.
“Church” as it has been is simply not going to suffice. You and I are going to have to be ambassadors to the power of God to this generation. Casual seeking cannot be the order of the day. It is a self-sacrificing and sincere seeking of God that will make a difference now. This generation is going to have to have an encounter with the Living Christ!
In the first part of this series, Pastor Gary Wilkerson looks at the life of Abraham. Terah, Abram's father, took his destiny into his own hands and ends up settling in place short of his goal. Such is the case when we strive to realize selfish ambitions in our own strength. Abraham on the other hand, hears a word from God and receives the grace to see the promises fulfilled. Release your life into God's hands and He is faithful to fulfill His promises—greater than we could ever hope or imagine.
Influence does not come because you go to church, it comes because you have the presence of Christ in your life. We do not bend before that which would dull us down to the point where we have no faith and no spiritual mind. For the sake of Christ in this generation, do what is right!
Family isn't something God created for our benefit. He always was, is and will be part of a family. It is a reflection of who He is. God's family doesn't show partiality, isn't judgmental or hurtful, but is accepting and forgiving. Jesus is our big brother; and through His redeeming, cleansing blood we are all adopted and grafted into the family of God.
Pastor Gary Wilkerson looks at three vignettes from the Bible showing how God blesses and people's response to His blessing. Through our obedience God will bless us, but we aren't to keep those blessings for ourselves. He blesses us so that we can be a blessing to others.
