Advancing My Faith

Romans 10:17 - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.



Observation



IF I WANT TO KEEP ADVANCING MY FAITH, I HAVE TO BE PLANTED. I PLANT MYSELF IN A PLACE WHERE THE WORD IS PREVALENT AND THE PEOPLE AROUND ME ARE CONTINUALLY SPEAKING AND LIVING IT.



2 Corinthians 3:18 - But we all, with… Continue

Walking In Our Destiny

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 -- Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 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 by the Spirit of the Lord.



To repent means to "turn around and go in the opposite… Continue

Speaking From Your Spirit

2 Corinthians 4:13 -- We have the same spirit of faith as he (the psalmist) who wrote, 'I have believed and therefore have spoken.' We too believe, and therefore we speak.



To speak by faith is simply to speak words that agree with the word of God instead of the circumstances around you.... It's speaking from your spirit instead of from your mind.…

Separation

Romans 1:1 - "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God."



Many are called, but we are never separated. That separation is a threefold thing:



First:

The New Creation separates us from the old life.



Second:

As the Word is built into us, we are separated unto… Continue

Achieving The Unachievable

Exodus 14:16 - But lift up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children if Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.



God generally doesn't call us to do things we can accomplish in our own ability. He calls us to achieve the unachievable and accomplish the impossible.



Mark 4:3,8 - Listen! Behold, a…

The Holy Spirit - Our Helper

John 14:16 -- "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever..."



The Holy Spirit, the Helper, is ready to give out gifts and is giving out gifts to those who are asking, knocking and seeking and believing that God will do what He says He will do.



Jeremiah 1:12 -- The Lord said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that My word is… Continue

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…

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
