Encounter Church

Perhaps one of the most oppossed subjects in the church today.......and here's why. Satan doesn't want us to tap into the supernatural blessings that come through our obedience to TITHE.Tithing is not a LAW, but rather a principle of LIFE!In this message we discover the importance of putting God first. How we MUST give Him the first portion, and He will redeem the rest!90% blessed, goes a whole lot further than 100% unblessed (cursed)As we give to Him (tithe) He will give back to us....supernaturally. He must be FIRST.As a Tither......they'll know what I'm talking about!!!!!

Prayer is such a powerful weapon for us the believer. When we pray things WILL happen!In this message we cover 2 very important points-1) No is an answer TOO.2) God wants to speak to you.Listen and be challenged through God's Word.

It's amazing how complicated, and how much of a chore we make of prayer. Prayer is just simply- Connecting to God.' It's inviting Him to become a part of your world. Part of what all you face and go through in life.In this message we will cover such points as-#1 reason our prayers are not answered.#1 prioirty of prayer.No is also an answer!How not to make it legalistic and boring.How to have an effective prayer life.Listen and begin to discover the POWER there still is IN PRAYER. . We just need to PRAY!

During this short message, we discuss again the importance of VISION. Vision is not just being in one place (location)- but it involves being one in heart and mind.When we can come together unified under that type of VISION- pushing all our preferences and opinions aside, and seek only His........it's then that His power will truely fall.Vision is Key to connecting with GOD!

The Bible tells us that where there is No vision, people will perish (Prov. 29:18). Having Vision is so important to the future development of our lives.In this message we discuss the importance of being Connected thru the Vision into the local church. How when you come under the Vision of your church you will-BelongBeServeGrowGod has a vison for your life....he has a future and hope. Live in VISION!

This is the last message in the Hook, line and Sinker series- dealing with offense.In this message we talk about how to 'Train' our hearts to endure the hard times when it's a struggle to let go of those offenses that have wounded us. How we must pray for those who have offended us- how we may even have to confront those too.........But through it all, we can find a complete release and freedom when we forgive and ask God for His strength.Remind yourself- It's not about the offense......but what's my respnse to it!

The Word.... UNFORGIVENESS is a tough word for many to deal with. Infact, many have chosen to forgive who they want to, and those they don't......they just don't.Here's the major problem with that- Jesus says if you don't forgive, then you will not be forgiven!Forgiveness is a choice we must make....and it's our responsability to do so. No matter the hurt, pain or offence someone has cuased us, we are still requirred to forgive.If we don't give......we won't get- And God means what He says!

In this message we talk about -Getting Planted- staying where God has placed you!I believe for your life to be the most effective- you need to be planted in the local church. Local being ONE.........not churches (plural).The only way we will ever see sustained growth is to be planted- and Ps 93:13 tells us- Those planted in the House Of God shall flourish..........To Become offended, is to cut off our own ability to produce fruit!

When dealing with those who have been offended, there are 2 main categories-- Those who genuinely have been mistreated, wronged and hurt.-Those who think they have benn mistreated, but actualy were not.In this message we deal with the first group.....those who have been genuinely HURT! Here's the question we answer (through the life of Joseph)- DO I HAVE THE RIGHT? Because of the hurt inflicted upon me, does that give me the right to become offended?Just because we have been wronged, we discover from God's Word that it's not the right we have but a choice!Listen and allow God to heal your heart as you go through His PROCESS!
