We are New Testament priests. We are to offer God the sacrifice of praise, that it, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His Name (Hebrews 13:15). But the first sacrifice that God desires from us is to present our own body as a living sacrifice to God (Romans 12:1). Then, we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind (Romans 12:2)

God has a plan for your life. The beginning place to find it, is in surrendering your life to Him. His plan will be the most fulfilling thing that we can do. 

We need to lift up our eyes from our present circumstances and behold what God has promised us. What has God promised us in the New Covenant? All the promises of God in Him (Christ) are Yes and Amen (1 Corinthians 1:20). Heaven is saying "YES" but God is waiting for someone on the earth to say "AMEN" (so be it in my life). 

The key to experiencing breakthrough is to rejoice. The breakthrough begins inside of us before we will experience it outwardly. God wants to give us breakthrough thinking but also breakthrough power to push through the opposition. 

This message is based on Genesis 13:14-17. God told Abram to lift his eyes and to look northward, southward, eastward and westward in order to see the land that God had given him. We have to lift our eyes from where we presently are to be able to beyond where God is taking us. For Abram it was the Promised Land. For us in the New Covenant it is the promises that God makes to us in Jesus Christ.  

God wants us, not only aware of the unseen realm, but perceiving it. The new birth gives us the ability to see the Kingdom of God (John 3:3). God has given us His Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth and to reveal to us the things that God has freely given to us (1 Cor 2:12). There is a reason that we are encouraged to commune and have fellowship with the Holy Spirit (2 Cor 13:14).

This is the final message in the series, Forgiveness. When we forgive someone who has hurt us, we are the one who is set free. We are the one that reaps the reward. We are encouraged throughout the New Testament to forgive others as we have been forgiven in Christ Jesus. 

A message about understanding the Judgement Seat of Christ. It is true that we are able to go to heaven simply through faith in the finished work of Calvary, but there is another judgment beyond that. In the Judgement Seat of Christ, we are rewarded for our faithfulness in stewarding what we were entrusted with. 

To forgive is not an option for a Christian. We must forgive and keep our heart clean and untangled. God will empower us to forgive others if we ask Him for His help. 

One of the ways that the enemy endeavors to incapacitate us is through encouraging us to hang onto unforgiveness. He wants us to be all tangled up inside with bitterness. That way, he can minimize our kingdom effectiveness. This is a message about how to stay untangled.
