As the people of God, we have lost our focus. We have lost sight of our condition and our calling. It’s imperative to rediscover our identity in Christ and what God ‘s purpose is for us in the earth. If you open the door of your heart God will open the scriptures to you, give you understanding and bring you into a place of power. Let your cry be, “Lord anoint my eyes, show me Your purpose for my life and give me a heart to do the work of an evangelist.”

There is a difference between the message of Christ and all the other religions that are available to humankind. God almighty in the form and power of the Holy Spirit is not only willing to save us but He is willing to indwell us and transform us from the inside out. If you have Christ in you, the Hope of Glory, that is God’s way of making Himself known to others who are outside of His Kingdom. Christ in us gives us the power to break every bondage, endure every storm and empowers our speech to bring light to others who are captivated in darkness.

Our nation is experiencing a breakdown of decency, morality and civility. In the very near future sin will have its full expression creating the last worldwide rebellion against the Lordship of Jesus Christ. In the midst of it all, there will be a people who will rediscover that we are the Church of the Living God and the Christ who triumphed over sin and Satan lives inside of us. We, as God’s people, have power in prayer to turn this hellish agenda back and make it bend its’ knee to Christ. If we will pray God will hear. We must stand in prayer against all that threatens our future, family, city and our nation. Let’s give our hearts and time to pray and believe God for a spiritual awakening.

Have you ever heard a Word from God and you went out in faith only to feel like God didn’t go with you? There are moments when you will do everything right only to have everything go wrong and the first step of obedience will feel like you made a mistake. Sometimes we feel like we are kicked over by God but don’t give up God is teaching you to get up and keep going. God always delivers His people and your story is never over because He is writing it.

What are these dreams that old men will dream? The Holy Spirit will give you divine revelation and power to speak to the next generation. If our hearts are turned inward we will lose vision and power, but when our heart turns to the children of this generation God will pour out His Spirit upon us. Pastor Carter gives an illustrated sermon of his life’s journey to encourage us to speak into the lives of our family and to influence another generation.

This message comes with a warning. The world as we know it is going to plunge into an unspeakable darkness. Israel will soon be encompassed by enemy armies. Jesus warned us in the last days that many false prophets are going to arise and many people will be deceived because they are not in the Word of God. There is power in the Word of God to bring life, strength and direction. The promises of God are there for you to establish your thoughts so you can get through your day. We can't live on yesterday's bread, that’s why Jesus told us to pray, “Father give us this day our daily bread.” Let’s get into the Word of God and allow the Word of God to get into us.

Jesus is glorious, beautiful, and holy. Our words can't even fully describe him. There is no sin in Jesus—yet he took on the curse of sin for us. On the cross, Jesus removed the wrath of God from all those who receive him as Savior and replaced it with his perfect righteousness. When we consider all that Jesus has done, it should bring us to awe, reverence and an outpouring of worship and thanksgiving.

Do you find yourself dwelling in a booth between bondage and freedom? Do you have an element of your former bondage that is still clinging to you and your exhausted from trying to be a good Christian? All God requires of you is a heart that thirsts for is Kingdom. When your heart is dry and thirsty and you have nothing left to help yourself God will invite you to come to Him and He will be all the supply and resource you will ever need. As you open your heart to God’s promises life from within will start to spring forth onto others who are thirsty to hear the good news of the Gospel.

We are living in a perilous and dark moment in history and all around us evil speech is permeating the air. As the Body of Christ we must not get swept away in this bitter division. Our cry should be God gives us the Grace to be your Ambassadors of forgiveness and reconciliation. Just as Joseph’s father gave him a coat with many colors so did God the Father give His Son Jesus a Body of all colors. Love and unity among God’s people gives us a testimony that burns bright and brings Glory to Jesus.
