Whatever we conform to is what we prove. We have the ability to prove the Kingdom or the world. As we're having this battle, conforming to the world or the Kingdom, it's an identity crisis. If you're consuming the things of this world, but reading the word and expecting the benefits of the Kingdom, reading but not investing, you'll only reap what you sow. The things of this world will never bring satisfaction. We invest more into the kingdom of this world and then are confused when the kingdom promises don't apply to our lives.

We want to blame God for that misery but we're just reaping from the sin we've sown. As we begin to sow into the kingdom, we will reap kingdom benefits. We're sowing into the world but expecting kingdom benefits from our sinful lifestyles.

God was the first to invest and He invested the best. God made the greatest investment of all. We have NOTHING that can compare to the gift of Jesus. He was the first fruit of many.

We are better off for remembering how mighty God is. It's not a benefit to God if we remember and realize how mighty He is. It benefits us. This represents what God has done and will do in our lives. What we do with the first item, dictates what will happen with the rest. We have to put the first things first. Honor God with the firsts.

There are times, circumstances and situations that tire us. At those times we need to say 'I will not be satisfied with this disquiet of my soul!' When we're feeling that way- we WILL yet praise God. So many times today we give the power of praise to our worries, our circumstances. What has the power in your life to steal your praise from God?

There are going to be times of disquiet in your lives. Prepare for these times by passionately praising. As we passionately praise, it enables us to remember the goodness of God. Remember who God is.

Often in the body, we are people of reaction. The enemy takes a shot at us and we feel like we have to shoot back. Our God is a God of action. Defining decisions.

The woman with the issue of blood, she tried and tried for 12 years...and only got worse.

You may have faced things and it may have felt like forever. You may have asked God, what is the purpose of going through this!?

The challenges never stop, never quit. We're suffering and the challenges just seem so immense.

The woman with the issue of blood, she was gone, she was done. The challenges were just too much. It was then that she heard Jesus was coming.

"Who are My temples?"

We are the temples of the holy spirit. We are called to be his temples and tabernacles the river of life can flow out of. Wherever this river goes, it brings life. And it's better to be in the river, than to be standing on the outside.

How do we become these temples, allowing the river of life to flow out of us? We have to see if what is coming out of us is good, or bad. There are things inside of us that need more of God's water to give it LIFE. Keep an eye on what's coming into you. Because what comes in, is what goes out. If enough good is coming in, good will come out.

Join us as we continue our 21 day fast, focusing on Consecration, Preparation and Application. This week marks the beginning of the application phase of our fast!

It's not God that needs to move closer to us. It's us that needs to move closer to him. Theres no problem with God...but with us. Nothing else has the right for me to bow to and anytime we allow the circumstances to bring negativity-- we bow to it.

Hope in the unseen is faith. If we are not responding to the things God has placed in us, then that lack of response brings about undesired results. 2020 will be the year of response. Respond in faith. Act upon that which you hope for.

Join us for our last service of 2019! Let's go into this next year with a clear vision!
