"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."  - 1 Peter 1:3

The Lord is redefining His Church and calling them out of a place of stagnancy and redundancy into a place of passion.

Have you ever felt…

 Many think righteousness equates to following the law, but this is a religious mindset. Living under the Law leads to death. If you live by the Law, the Law will require righteousness from you that you are unable to fulfill on your own, putting you in a position where you will be judged by that Law, and the Law is an unforgiving judge. But the good news is that Jesus came so that you may have life and life more abundantly.…

 "...He has granted to us His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature..."  - 2 Peter 1:4

Promises from God are met with contradiction in the natural realm. God is announcing a reality to you that will most likely appear very distant and disconnected from your present situation. God's promises…

      Getting in touch with God's PURPOSE for our life can have the single most powerful impact on our own life after coming to know the Lord and being born again.  All Christians are called to be witnesses, but we also have a CALLING in His Body that is more specific than that.

      The main factors that will lead to a revelation…

As Believers who are seeking to advance His Kingdom we have the right and privilege to do business with God.

Why does He need us to do business with Him?

1. 1. God has given mankind dominion over the earth. Therefore, we have the authority to release Him to work when we pray. God has never violated the free will that He gave…

It's essential that we as Spirit-filled Believers understand the power of our words and decrees.

Isaiah 55:11 is a word in season for every hungry Believer to take advantage of. As you open your mouth and speak out your DESTINY, you will breathe life into your situations and see impossible circumstances turn around.…

"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part has he who believes with an unbeliever?  What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God."As God has said: I  will live in them and walk in them.  I will be their God, and they shall be My people.…

"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:1-2…

In Acts 26, there is a detailed account of Paul's life-changing experience with the Lord.  The light Paul encountered on the road to Damascus was in fact the "fire" of God, as this same Greek word was used in various other places in the Bible and was interpreted as fire.

So this light that Saul encountered on the road to Damascus, was an encounter with the glory fire of the Lord that brings sudden…

"Go...and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell are camps or strongholds, and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land." - Numbers 13:18-20…

"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." - John 7:38

Many needed breakthroughs for the Body of Christ are awaiting the release of this river we carry within.

Hearts clogged with unbelief, doubt, and pain through trauma will receive a visitation of His power that will…

Matthew 14:28-31 -- 28 Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you…

 Many Believers love on people by telling them how precious they are, help them out with things they need doing, and even say a prayer to bless them but never actually preach the Gospel to them. They try to explain that doing acts of love is synonymous with preaching the Gospel and that they can preach with actions rather than words.

The Lord challenges many in coming out of familiar places into new territory. It is part of the reality of coming into that "Promised Land"  (God’s purpose for your life) that so many are hoping and praying for as Believers in Christ.

It is up to US to take that step of faith out of our familiar comfort zones and into that which we have never encountered before. We also determine when and how we access our destiny by…

 We have an enemy who wants open access to our lives...and we have angelic hosts to guide, guard, and protect us here on the earth (Psalm 91:11, Psalm 34:7). As we become more aware of both, while living in this day and time, living a lifestyle of victory becomes our daily norm.

"The angel of the Lord encamps around…

"I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day..." - Psalm 91:2-6…

"that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless." - Ephesians 5:27

The worst "drug" many Christians are taking today is the drug of the wrong narrative. This wrong narrative says we are in the worst of days and that Jesus is coming any moment to…

Our faith is not dependent on our feelings, but is realized through our actions.

FAITH IS SPELLED -- R-I-S-K

Playing it safe isn't faith. There is this tendency to have everything predictable and under control, but it results in a quite boring life with…

We Believers will be sent into the darkness of situations, events, and circumstances to declare with authority, "Let there be light," and light will be released to set captives free, to shine on the harvest, and release it from the enemy's grip! And now, in this "kairos moment" of His-story, God is also saying to this headstone generation, prepared for this hour, "Arise, shine; for your light has come!"…

Isaiah 66:9 says, "Shall I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the Lord. 'Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?' says your God."

Isaiah 46:11 says, "Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, be assured I will do it."
