They Shall Be Filled

1 Corinthians 15:4,6 -- And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures. After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once.



Before you can receive the fire of the Spirit, you must want it. Perhaps that is why only 120 appeared out of 500 brethern in the upper room.

Engaging Relationally

Psalm 91:1 -- "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the almighty."



Jesus lived a life of of prayer, and when He needed dedicated prayer time He would send crowds and, most likely, potential resources away so that He could be with the Father. As a result He would not move, speak, or do anything that the Father did not ask Him to do.



Our talking and listening to the Father…

Accessing The Glory Of Jesus

Matthew 17:4 - Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.



PETER WANTED TO COME UP WITH A PROGRAM TO ORGANIZE WHAT GOD WAS DOING; BUT GOD WOULD HAVE US TO FORSAKE OUR VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND GIMMICKS AND, INSTEAD, SIMPLY LISTEN TO JESUS. THE SAME GLORY IS JUST AS CLOSE TO US AS… Continue

Lean On Me

Song of Solomon 8:5 -- Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?



In order to learn new ways to walk we must first learn to lean.



Proverbs 3:6 -- Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.



Leaning on our Beloved often requires us to lean away from our own… Continue

Paying The Price

Psalm 42:1 -- As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.



We neglect to pay the price for the presence of God and wind up wandering around in a wilderness of our own making, being pursued by Satan.



Everything begins with total abandonment, total surrender and total hunger for the living Christ -- not the things He gives or imparts, but Christ and Christ… Continue

Acceptance Through Works

Genesis 4:3,4 - And in the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering.



CAIN'S OFFERING WAS REJECTED BECAUSE HE OFFERED THE FRUIT OF HIS OWN LABORS WHILE ABEL OFFERED A BLOOD SACRIFICE THAT PROPHESIED OF THE COMING OF CHRIST. THIS LED TO A RAGE IN CAIN… Continue

Discipling Vs. Counseling

Some people that attend church are looking for "Christian Counseling" but what would be more beneficial in most circumstances would be discipleship equipping. That would involve focusing on their spiritual condition rather than their personal problems.



Areas that involve discipling are:

1. Understanding their inheritance in Christ and who they are in Christ.

2. Understand their "Right Standing With God."

3. Understanding of how to "Walk in the… Continue

Come And See

John 1:38,39 -- Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, "What seek Ye?" They said unto Him, "Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest Thou?" He saith unto them, "Come and see."



There are many reasons one comes to Christ. Yet, as the Lord asked John and James, so He asks each of…

Fire Of Glory

1 John 4:17 -- As He is, so are we in this world.



At the Azuza Street revival, the fire department was called to extinguish a blaze, only to discover that the people inside were worshiping Jesus. Water couldn't put it out as it was not a natural fire.



If the Father filled the old testament houses with His glory, though they were build by human hands, how much more will He fill the place that He… Continue

Sense Of Diving Destiny

Ephesians 5:14-18 - "Wake up from your sleep, and arise from the dead, And Christ shall shine upon you. Live life with a due sense of responsibility, not as men who do not know the meaning of life but as those who do. Make the best use of your time, despite all the evils of these days. Don't be vague but grasp firmly what you know to be the will of the Lord."



As believers, we are instructed to live our daily lives with a… Continue

Beholding His Glory

2 Corinthians 3:18 - But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.



WE ARE TO BE TRANSFORMED "FROM GLORY TO GLORY." THIS INDICATES AN UNFOLDING PROCESS TO CHANGE US INTO HIS IMAGE. THIS IS NOT A PROCESS THAT WE CAN ENGINEER OR CONTROL, BUT IT IS "FROM THE LORD, THE SPIRIT." WE SUBMIT TO…

Saving Power

Exodus 12:13 -- Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you.....



On the night of the first Passover, many of the children of Israel were probably anxious.

They may have said "Yes! We were told to put the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of our home and everything would be all right. Is that true?"

Or "Can… Continue

Reality of God's Life

John 17:16,17 -- They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.



Life, as we perceive it, is based upon whatever network of thoughts and opinions we are currently allowing to govern our souls



On the Other Hand, God defines reality as the "truth" found in His word.



For us to travel from our world into the reality of God, we… Continue

A Testimony Of Jesus

Revelation 19:10 - The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.



A testimony prophesies what is possible again. It declares another miracle is now available.



It illustrates to all who will listen, the nature of God and His covenant with mankind.



All He looks for is someone who will add his or her faith to the testimony given.



Because He is no respecter of…

The Lord Of The Harvest

When Jesus went up the mountain with three of His disciples, He was transfigured or altered from His human state to a glorified one. It was a fearful moment of splendor as the Son of Man revealed His heavenly identity and manifested His glory in human form to three trembling witnesses. The description of Jesus' appearance in this indescribable moment is life-changing, and reveals a glimpse into their future shortly after this transfiguration.



Moments after this earth-shaking experience… Continue

Tearing Down Strongholds

2 Corinthians 10:4 -- For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.



A stronghold is a satanic force that starts as a thought, then lays its foundation in a person's mind, builds itself up and makes its abode there.



You can't simply cast down a stronghold as you would cast down an evil thought or imagination. You need the word of God to become… Continue

A Strong Tower

2 Corinthians 10:4 - For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.



A STRONGHOLD IS A SATANIC FORCE THAT STARTS AS A THOUGHT, THEN LAYS ITS FOUNDATION IN A PERSON'S MIND, BUILDS ITSELF UP AND MAKES ITS ABODE THERE. YOU CAN'T SIMPLY CAST DOWN A STRONGHOLD AS YOU WOULD CAST DOWN AN EVIL THOUGHT OR IMAGINATION. YOU NEED THE WORD OF GOD TO BECOME LIKE A HAMMER IN YOUR LIFE IN ORDER TO TEAR DOWN THAT STRONGHOLD AND GET IT… Continue

What Do You Mean, 'If You Can'?

Mark 9:23 -- "What do you mean, 'If you can'? said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes.



Faith is having a knowing on the inside. Faith knows you are healed even when you don't feel it yet.



Faith knows you're safe even when tragedy happens nearby. Faith knows you have peace even when everyone around you is afraid.



Faith doesn't deny the circumstances. Faith Believes in the Higher Truth of… Continue

SUNDAY SCHOOL - July 11, 2021

John 8:39 - "They answered and said to Him, 'Abraham is our father.' Jesus said to them, 'If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.'"Abraham was an alien and a stranger on the earth. The goal of his life was to have a place in what God…Continue
