We have an incredible relationship with God our Father. Our Father is powerful beyond description. There is a deep desire in the heart of God for us to be intimate with Him. He is a Father of forgiveness and peace. There was never a time that we were not in the heart of God. His love for us is an ever lasting love.
God uses afflictions to draw us into his Word so we can allow him to deal with the issues of our heart. If we don’t see God in ALL of our circumstances, the good and the bad, our faith will crash. God is not with us despite our failure, sin and slothfulness; he is with us because of them. God's tender mercies are above all his works. Go to the Lord with an open heart and let him love you through your pain and suffering.
This message is for those who in their time of need went to the house of God for help and there was no answer for you. You set out for the house of the Lord and you were deeply disappointed and dropped. God sees you and knows your pain; He will meet you right where you are. The promise of God is that He will seek you out and reveal Himself to you. There is HOPE in Jesus Christ.
It's time to declare the Glory of God. What must I do to give glory to God? It is simply this, when God speaks we don’t resist Him. Humans are the only thing that God created that has the ability to resist God. God is always speaking! His voice is above everything on earth. Nothing can drown out the voice of God. When God speaks He creates a pathway into His life. When we receive His Word by faith miracles happen and our lives begin to declare His glory.
There are four great fears: 1) Fear of survival and poverty, 2) Fear of losing children to sin, 3) Fear of calamity and terror, and 4) The lack of political leaders. God never intended for His people to live in fear. God is a God who pleads the cause of His people. He pledges Himself to us and He puts His words in our mouth to destroy the lies of Satan that cause us to fear. In this message David Wilkerson admonishes us to keep our eyes on Christ's resurrection power and to keep the FACE of JESUS before our eyes all throughout our days.
When we as Christians are in a deep dungeon and a dark prison we simply need to raise up our hands and begin to sing a song in the darkness of night. When the people of God begin to sing prison doors will fly open. The demons who hear this song will have to let go of their hold. This song will begin to shake every foundation of UNBELIEF and DECEPTION. When the people of God begin to sing their song God will use it to be a witness in the lives of those around us. If you are in a season of darkness and despair, lift up you voice and soon you will hear God's melody and you will begin to sing a new song.
Jesus Christ came to give us an abundant life. There are seasons in non-believers' lives when God will choose to reveal Himself. If they choose to respond to God's promptings He will visit them, show them who His Son is and they will be quickened and become alive to all that God has for them. Jesus is the answer to sin. The Cross of Jesus destoyed death, sin and the enemy! When was the last time you shared with someone about Jesus and His miraculous power? Today find somone and give them SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
We are living in a society that is grieved for their sons and daughters. Underneath this grief is a cry that is asking WHERE IS GOD? Some are in the church asking the same thing - How can we get our family back? How can we get back what we have lost? The answer is that we must get back to the place where God first anointed us. We must get back to the secret closet of prayer and begin one more time to WALK in the SPIRIT! God has given us a LIFE PARTNER who is the HOLY SPIRIT to enable us to be more than we cloud ever be by any amount of human wisdom and strength. God is calling His church to lay down our lives for others. When we get back to the secret closet of prayer we will hear the Lord say go and get my sons and daughters, go and get you family. When we go in faith we will get back ALL that the devil has stolen.
It is time for the Church of Jesus Christ to bring honor to His name by manifesting the law of kindness. We, as a church, are called into moral and spiritual excellence through which God is glorified. The law of kindness radiates through the mouth of those who are one in heart and mind with Jesus and whose deep desire is to live a life that is conformed to the cross of Christ. When we speak with the law of kindness we take our Savior and put Him in the gates in a place of honor. Kind speech puts a crown of glory on Jesus and those around us have to take notice. What does your speech reveal to those around you?
Distractions, worries, regrets from the past, fears of the future…all of these are road blocks to the kind of relationship God wants us to have with each other. Life becomes joyful when we allow the people we are with to become our priority.
