The Word of God calls us to come before him in fear and trembling. A trembling heart is one that understands the majesty of God along with the awesome joy and honor to be called into his presence.
God is light and in Him there is no darkness. God wants a testimony of this light working in us to be a clear display that God cares for us and no matter what we have to go through He is carrying us and His presence is sufficient to sustain us. The power source of this light is Jesus Christ and His life burning in us. This light is not kindled by man and cannot be put out by man. There is a process of brokenness and crushing that God will allow in our lives that will produce a cry that will say, "Father into your hands I commit my spirit." It is a crushing that produces a cry and a commitment that we will be a flame of fire burning for Jesus Christ.
The devil was corrupted by his distorted image of himself and in this corruption he desired to be worshipped. The very heart of Satan finds refuge in religion and causes false teachers and false prophets to be moved outside of the true works of God. These types of preachers make their way into pulpits and bow down to the worship and agenda of man. When worship is true worship the voice of God is immediately heard. Wisdom is found of God as we lay down our treasures at His feet with no agenda of personal gain. True worship is content in seeking the likeness of Christ and is surrendered totally to His purposes.
We do know that we know Him - the evidence of this knowledge is that we obey His commandments. We know that we are in Him - there is an assurance that comes into our souls because of the Spirit that abides in us. God has a people who are intimately acquainted with Him and that know how to tell the difference between truth and fiction. When you are unsure of what the future holds and you are seeking guidance, God has a living word for you. God will lead and guide you. He promises never to leave us or forsake us. This message is intended for those 29 and under.
God wants to bring exceptional deliverance and healing to His people. The way we see ourselves and the way we perceive situations can block us and stop us from what God has planned for our life. There is an incredible plan that God has for our life, but if we cling to the branches of our own religious beliefs, culture, and self concepts we will miss the will of God. We must not hug the tree of self perception, but instead embrace the tree of Calvary. When God calls us He has the power and ability to change every misconception in our lives.
God will allow fiery trails to come our way so that our lives would manifest the Glory of God to those around us. When we are thrown into the lions' den the very life of Christ in us will stop the mouth of the roaring lions. Those who stand outside this den will begin to see the one and only true God we serve. Every time someone sees the testimony of God's faithfulness and keeping power that will have to give glory to God. We do not sign up for this ministry, we are drafted into it!!
We may be experiencing adversity and various trials but if you have an honest heart God will instruct us and guide us with His Word. When the Lord has used His servant and His touch has come upon us there is a season of weeping and spiritual fatigue that will follow. It is in these seasons that Satan himself will come with roaring accusations and attempt to lead us into a wilderness and a sense of powerlessness. It is complete fiction to believe the devil has any power to take you as a sincere believer from the security of your position through Christ in God. The devil can only come against us with roaring lies but in REALITY he has no power to do this. God Himself will come and whisper His mercy and love to show us we are not alone and evil will not triumph over us. He will vanquish our enemies with a still small voice and comfort and nourish us.
A true conversion of Christ becomes miraculous when we understand that there is an enablement through the Spirit to love and serve Him. God will send promptings of His love to open our hearts to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everything that man longs for is found in Jesus and in knowing His plan for our lives. The question is, "can we be brought to this place of truth?" It is the love of God that brings you into a love relationship with Him. Jesus came to seek and save those who are lost.
God says do not be anxious or full of anxiety for nothing not even one thing. Do not let your heart be troubled and stay troubled. Turning anxiety into prayer and allowing that prayer to put gratitude in our hearts can be very powerful. The result of this kind of praying is peace. This peace is a ruling peace that brings order to our minds and reminds us that God is in control and that He loves us. The devil cannot follow us up the mountain of thanksgiving and praise.
There are very few messages on repentance these days. Contemporary churches would rather appease the congregation than to preach the offense of the cross. There is a thirst all around the world today for truth. The only way for people to be healed and enter into the power and rest of Christ is through repentance. The Holy Spirit is grieved at those who never enter into the Joy of Jesus through repentance. The devil is after the fruitfulness and Christ likeness in our lives. The devil will send foxes to hinder our fruitfulness. Jesus will come and call us to rise up with Him and He will battle for us and go after these foxes. We must be fully convinced of the love of God and His desire to fight against our enemies and to keep us by His power. He will do battle with us and for us.
