Do we have a distorted view of God because of our experiences with our earthly father? Some of us view our heavenly Father as angry and difficult. Some fathers just weren't there at all. Some of us were raised in good homes and then there is a danger of making an idol out of our earthly father. This message reminds us that our heavenly Father is all together different than our earthly father. Our Father in Heaven is pure, merciful and glorious. Today God the Father is speaking words of restoration and life to you.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus asked the blind man in the Bible, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied, "I want to see", and Jesus touched him and He received his sight. Down the corridors of time Jesus is waiting for us to get desperate enough and cry out to Him. What is you heart's desire? Ask and believe.

Brokenness is trading in something old and receiving something new. When we allow God to break us our lives become a demonstration of His heart. We are to reflect a new value system which is the giving of ourselves in the same way that Christ gave for us. The central core of Christ is that He came to the world not to do His own will but to do the will of the Father. The will of the Father is that none would perish. The cry of your heart in these last days should be LORD BREAK ME!

In these last days there will be a mighty move of God and He will raise the dry bones of this society out of the graves. God will choose to be gracious and compassionate to every soul that is buried in the grave of sin. You may ask how this will happen. God will always have a testimony on this earth and He will use His own people who have been taken out of darkness and have been changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. God's people who have been given resurrection life will bring life to the dead bones of this society and He Himself will cause breath to enter them and He will raise up an army in this last hour of time.

Many people come to Jesus for what they can get from Him. They want to be set free from bondage but they don’t want to surrender all to Him. For those of us who have purposed in our heart to go all the way with Jesus there will come a time when we will have to make a choice to break away from the half-hearted crowd and move forward in Christ. Will you choose to go all the way and walk with the champion?

When we get a glimpse of the Son of Man we will see the heart of God bowed down to reach the needs of humankind. Jesus reveals to us what God looks like and shows us what it means to be in covenant relationship with Him. We will see the Son of Man bowed down in humility as a servant. The Son of Man comes in power and confrontation to release the bonds of those who are afflicted. The Son of Man lays His life down and becomes our righteousness to cover our sin. Do you know Jesus as the Son of Man and will you follow Him?

Are you seeking the life and the blessing of God? The blessing is not something to be consumed among ourselves. Our life is to be an extension of the love and mercy of God and to give of ourselves unselfishly. When we choose to go this way with God we will be lead on a journey into hard places. In these hard places God will visit us. We will find wisdom and compassion for every dreadful place God allows us to go through. Heaven will open to the person who is willing to be poured out for the good and betterment of others.

God says if you don’t exalt Him, He will exalt Himself. If we judge ourselves by measuring ourselves by the standard of Christ and aligning our heart with the Word of God we will not be judged. God in His mercy will take us by the hand and lead us outside of the mindset of selfishness and self consumption. God is calling us to escape to the mountain of Calvary where self dies, and we move out of the realm of "self" and a "me first" mindset to the giving of ourselves for the Glory of God. God desires to baptize us with His compassion to put others first. Do you want your heart marked with the compassion of Jesus Christ?
