Ecclesiastes 5:16 speaks about the serious problem of leaving this world unchanged. We all live with a desire to both be changed and to change the world. And one of the best ways to do that is to become a generous person. Generosity is at the heart of the gospel—"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son….” Pastor Gary Wilkerson shares some practical advice on being generous with your time and attention. In giving yourself to others, like Jesus, you'll become a better person and make the world a better place.
Are you in a place of difficulty and trial to the point of exhaustion?
We are called to be a visible expression of who God is to our generation by letting God show His wisdom, power and grace through us. If we are going to honor Christ we must be fully yielded to His will to let Him guide us so that the “desires of Christ” in us might be fulfilled. As we simply behold the victory of Christ we will be enabled to let go of our regrets as well as our successes and we will be empowered to lay hold of God’s divine plan for our life.
Pastor Gary Wilkerson shares a prophetic word that, if received through the Holy Spirit, will dynamically shift your ministry, family, and life. Just as he did with Ezekiel, God may call you into an impossible situation and instruct you to prophesy over it and call the Spirit of God to breath life where there is now death. Act in faith—believe that Jesus truly can change your difficult circumstance!
In Christian circles "wanting" can have negative connotations. We know that God meets all of our needs, but we have a hard time believing that he also desires to give us our wants. How do we live a life where we see our desires fulfilled? Eliminate all evil, selfish desires by studying the Word of God. Illuminate all of the pure desires that God has given you. Activate your wants through actions—step out in faith!
Jesus lived a perfect life that we never could. He gives us his righteousness, giving us perfect standing before the Father. Out of this victory comes the anointing that empowers to live like Jesus and do his works. He wants us to continue in his mission seeing the sick made whole and the poor to hear the Gospel.
You may be in a season where the enemy has come to try to confuse you about your identity in Christ, leaving you to feel undesirable and unloved. It’s not about how you feel about yourself. It’s about how the King feels about you, and He is waiting to hear your voice. It’s the mercy of God that has tied the move of His hand with hearing your voice. Esther is a type of praying people who turned away from her frailty and failure and made the choice to seek God with fasting and prayer. When we begin to fast and pray we tap into the supernatural.
We hear a lot these days about being loved by God, which is amazing and true, but we are also to love him. Gary Wilkerson exhorts us to be passionate, radical, fervent, on-fire lovers of Jesus.
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.
