Last week we started the new year, 2014, with a Fresh Start. God gives us a second chance to be blessed after we make mistake after mistake. He is so gracious and merciful. So what now? What’s our next step? Well, we all need to find that out. He has plans for us and things for us to do and places for us to be and blessings for us to receive. We just need to ask and listen and obey. Listen to “ The Next Step” and find out how to start receiving God’s best.

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. He came to give us life, a new chance, a second chance. He promises that His mercies are renewed to us day by day. Each morning, newness of life is His promise to us. That’s awesome. No matter what we have done, how many times we have failed, he is there to pick us up and give us a fresh start. He turns hopeless situations into hopeful situations that give Him praise. Let go of your circumstances that are keeping you down and lean on Jesus. He brings the hope that you need to set you free. God is good!!

Is your name known in Hell? Jesus gave us all authority over the devil in Luke 10:19. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. His name is known in Hell as the one to steer clear of and we have been given authority over the demons and their realm, so we too are a force to be reckoned with in Jesus’ name. If you want to know your authority over demonic forces and how to be free from their influence, listen to: “We were born to RAZE Hell”.

Are you a slave, a servant, or a son? Jesus calls you a friend if you know Him as Lord. The Word of God also calls us a slave, a servant, and a son. Dig into God’s word with us in this study and learn who we are in Christ Jesus.

God is a holy God. He calls us to be holy because He is Holy. Holiness is conducting ourselves in a way that is befitting a Christian, that pleases God. We should walk circumspectly and watch what is going on around us so we don’t fall into the Devil’s snare and sin. Listen to this message and find out how the Grace of God can make you Holy.

God has a plan for our life. It is a divine destiny. That plan has an anointing that is the power of God. The plan that God told Joshua to carry out to take the city of Jericho didn’t make any sense in the natural realm. Marching around a fortified city for 7 days and blowing a horn doesn’t seem like a mighty military strategy does it? Why? Because it's not! It's a God strategy and God’s strategy has power to accomplish His plan. Let’s open our spiritual ears and listen to God’s victory plan for our lives.

God is so good and deserves our praise. We praise God for what He does and we worship God for who He is. Psalm 150:6 says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” We can shape our entire day by waking up in the morning and saying, “This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.” Let’s make life as grand as what God intended for it to be by praising Him all throughout our day. He is worthy of our praise.

Our great nation was founded on God’s word and His principles. Our founding fathers structured our constitution and our laws according to the freedom and liberty that God’s Word teaches. Many lives were sacrificed to purchase our freedom. The most amazing of which is not a military figure but the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus died so that we may have life. His death purchased our freedom from the curse of sin and death. 2 Corinthians declares that, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.”

God’s word gives us a plan for our life. It is ordained and a divine destiny. Our time is divided into three parts - past, present, and future. We have divided our thinking into three parts also – I did, I am, and I will. "I did" is in the past and over. "I am" is in the present and takes our focus. "I will" is in the future and takes vision. In order to do God’s will tomorrow we need to be risk takers. We need to listen to that small still voice of the Holy Spirit inside of us and be willing to take a risk and do what He speaks to us to do. Take a Risk and be blessed.

God’s word gives us a great example. Abraham believed God and it was accounting to him for Righteousness. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. God’s gifts are given to us by His Grace. It isn’t something that we deserve. It’s something He wants to bless us with. Exceedingly, abundantly, above what we can ask or think is what our God wants to do for us. His grace is awesome and He wants to give it to us. Have the grace to receive it and be blessed.
