We are in a time of rebirth: a time to move from spectating on the bench to being active in God’s Kingdom. When we step away from the bench and onto the field, we have a powerful testimony.

God wants you to overcome…

In order to move from spectator to active on the field, you need to set your priorities for God’s Kingdom. You will have to change certain thoughts and behaviors in your life so that you can move forward in this new era.

In our flesh, change can be scary. But with God, all things are possible. Resist the temptation of fear and put your trust in God.

Do you ever wonder how to find courage in all circumstances? Do you feel like the trials of life sometimes saps the courage right out of you? Then join us below as we discover what the Word has to say about courage and how we can find it in the Lord!

Each of us, through our own unique life experiences, hold differing ideas on what things mean. For instance, someone who grew up in a loving, traditional family unit vs. someone who grew up without that loving stability—going from home to home—would have drastically different views on the meaning of “family.”

It could be the same for “courage.” While we each have an idea of what a word like “courage” might mean, there would only be a few of us who would not be satisfied with a basic dictionary definition…

For, we see the basic definition of “courage” in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as: “mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.” Further synonyms and antonyms of the meaning include, “tenacity; resolution; spirit; bravery; virtue; daring; and intrepidity.”

With all these related words, along with the definition itself, we discover that “courage” could be said to be ‘a resolution or tenacity to overcome or withstand danger, fear, or difficulty with bravery and daring.’

Yet, is this in line with biblical meanings of courage? Well, to discover that we need to go straight to the Word.

Our society is in a cultural pandemic. A medical pandemic, which caused fear to sweep across the world and our nation, now has a partner… a cultural pandemic that has caused division in the land.

How do we begin to heal? Believers being unified as one and working towards reconciliation.

Why does healing begin with Believers?

This cultural pandemic is actually a spiritual pandemic. Our nation has moved away from God’s value system, which was designed to create an atmosphere of cohesiveness and oneness. A system established to help humanity grow and thrive as they respected and related to one another.

When the Body of Christ takes their rightful position as His Kingdom manifestation on earth, healing will follow.

Our nation’s history has polluted our country’s atmosphere. Slavery and segregation were a destructive seed sown into our country. We are witnessing how this seed has not been dealt with at a spiritual level.

The Church must rise and be a visible demonstration of oneness in God’s Kingdom. As individuals and the Body of Christ, we must see this cultural pandemic as the spiritual pandemic that it really is.

When we see it for what it is, we can repent of our sins, and the sins of our fathers, and come into unity in accordance with God’s Word in Ephesians 2:15.

Do you struggle to find peace? Are you weary and in need of rest? Would you like to discover the benefits of resting in God? Then join us below as we discover how YOU can benefit from finding rest in Him!

The word “rest” is found hundreds of times within the Word of God, yet, what exactly does rest mean?

Well, while “resting in God” has a much deeper meaning when we explore the Word, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, “rest” in general means:

Further, to be “at rest” means:

And these are merely the noun usages! The verb usages, while similar, include aspects of, “refraining from labor,” “to remain confident, trust,” “to be free from anxiety,” etc.

When we choose to be at rest—to rest in God—we cease to labor in ourselves. We utilize the support of God so willingly bestows, and we become free from anxiety and worry. It is a state of trust, even faith, where we give things over to God and believe that He has everything under control. It is essentially a state of peace and a deep, true relationship founded in love and trust. Rest allows Godly freedom. It allows a relationship with the great I AM!

So, we have discovered some of the meanings of rest and being at rest—in the world, and in God—but what does it truly mean to rest in God? What does the Word say about it?

Have you ever wondered what and where is the center of God’s Word—literally? Have you ever pondered what message God deems important enough to tuck safely in the deepest section of His Word? Or, for that matter, why it might hold a unique value? Then join us below as we discover the beauty of God’s Word and how nothing He does is by chance!

God does nothing by accident. From the very creation of the world and His children—made in His image—to the words He gave to men to write down so we could know and follow Him more readily.

Because we believe the truth that God is perfect, then we must also believe that the Word He has given us is therefore perfect; after all, the Word has been since the beginning, it was with God and is God (John 1:1). And since His Word is perfect, then surely God designed every letter, every dot and tittle, in every language, to be perfect… to teach us as only God can.

“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”—Matthew 5:48

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”—John 1:1

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…”—John 1:14

“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”—Isaiah 55:11

Do you realize that you are a king and priest in God’s Kingdom? Do you know that you have been given authority there? Do you wonder what that means for you? Then join us below as we discover the beauty of walking in God-given authority, and how, while responsibility comes with it, we need not fear it!

For many of us, it can be hard to believe that we, as Believers, are meant to walk in authority, let alone as kings and priests according to the order of Melchizedek—a king and priest who interacted with Abraham, then known as Abram. Yet, through Jesus, as we will soon learn, this is possible.

“Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: ‘Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.’ …”

We too, as Believers, are made to walk in that Genesis 14 authority, not because we in ourselves have authority, but because Jesus—our King, called a priest according to the order of Melchizedek—lives inside each of us. This authority is not meant merely for our personal benefit, but for the advancement of the Kingdom and the elevation and honor of our God, who is perfect in every way!
