We all face crisis. In our crisis Jesus sets a path to meet us. He comes with a word, power and heart of compassion to transform our time of crisis to a testimony of victory. Jesus has won every battle he has ever faced and desires for us to engage alongside him. There is joy and peace at the battles end.
The joy of the Lord is a gift from God. It doesn’t come from you doing something for the Lord, but when you understand what he has done for you.
They wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, with none to search or seek for them.
Ezekiel 34:6 ESV
Experiencing hardship can make us cry out as Jesus did, "My God, why have you forsaken me?" Suffering can make God seem far away, but in our darkest moments—especially then—our Father is at work to bring great blessing and favor to us, his beloved children.
Pastor Gary Wilkerson shares a message of encouragement for those who find themselves in a difficult season. You find yourself asking, "How long, Lord?!" You need a breakthrough. Hold on! Don't give up! God has already prepared the answer. Endure and believe Jesus for the victory.
Gary Wilkerson shares that people of "a different spirit" respond to God's call to be the tools for radical change in today's world.
In our struggle to maintain and restore Christmas, we often get caught up in the politics and forget the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus. A new covenant Christmas is about celebrating the glorious liberty that we have in Christ. Gary Wilkerson reminds us that through him, we have eternal life and our accusers are silenced.
At the time of Jesus's birth, Herod was disturbed and sought to have him killed. In our generation we are starting to see a similar turn against the gospel. Sin is no longer called sin. It is even called good and glorified. Bible-believing faith-filled Christians are becoming the minority. When persecution comes, what is our response? Initially it can be anger, but in Jesus we see that we are to act in love and keep on with the ministry to which he has called us.
