EWOC – Apr. 21, 2019 Luke 24:6-7 (NLT) 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.” Luke 24:2-3 (NLT) 2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. 3 So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. – This resurrection brings us the power of God. – It was all locked up to certain extent until the day Jesus resurrected. – He is the one who unlocked this power for everyone. John 11:25-26 (NLT) 25 Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this?” 1. WHAT POWER ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? On Good Friday, Jesus paid the ultimate price and on Resurrection Sunday He sealed this paid price once and forever more. 1 Peter 1:3-5 (NLT) 3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, – He paid into all eternity. – He broke the power over the grave and death. – He broke the power over all sickness – He broke the power over every curse released upon your life, either through generational curses or self-inflicted. – He broke the power over sin which know give us access to God and we can enter an unlimited relationship with Jesus Christ NOW WE HAVE ACCESS TO THIS POWER! 2. WHAT IS THIS POWER? THIS POWER HOLDS EVERYTHING in place on earth, universe and heaven. It’s the power of God’s Holy Spirit! The Holy... Read More

YOUR POWER: Luke 4:18-19 (AMP) 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me (the Messiah),Because He has anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor.He has sent Me to announce release (pardon, forgiveness)to the captives,And recovery of sight to the blind,To set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy),19 to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the favor of God abound greatly].” Luke 4:18-19 (NLT) 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,    for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released,    that the blind will see,that the oppressed will be set free,19     and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.”

YOUR DESTINY: Mark 4:35-41 (AMP) 35 On that [same] day, when evening had come, He said to them,  “Let us go over to the other side [of the Sea of Galilee].”  36 So leaving the crowd, they took Him with them, just as He was, in the boat. And other boats were with Him.  37 And a fierce windstorm began to blow (that how the enemy attacks our life), and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already being swamped.  38 But Jesus was in the stern, asleep [with His head] on the [sailor’s leather] cushion. And they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are about to die?” 39 And He got up and [sternly] rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still (muzzled)!” And the wind died down [as if it had grown weary] and there was [at once] a great calm [a perfect peacefulness].  40 Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith and confidence [in Me]?” 41 They were filled with great fear, and said to each other, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?” WHY DON’T YOU LET THE LORD DEMONSTRATE HIS POWER AND CARE FOR YOU! Mark 4:37 The Sea of Galilee is famous for its sudden and severe storms, produced by winds that funnel through the passes and canyons of the surrounding hills and create severe turbulence on the water. As experienced fishermen, the disciples knew that this was an almost constant risk in their profession. Matthew 28:20 ….. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” NIV

YOUR CALLING: Jeremiah 1:4-10 (NLT) 4 The Lord gave me this message: 5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.    Before you were born I set you apart    and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” 6 “O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!” 7 The Lord replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. 8 And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!” 9 Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said, “Look, I have put my words in your mouth!10 Today I appoint you to stand up    against nations and kingdoms.Some you must uproot and tear down,    destroy and overthrow.Others you must build up    and plant.”

DO YOU QUALIFY TO BE AN AMBASSADOR OF HEAVEN? – Part 2 (EWOC Sermon – 3.20.2019) 5. Can I Be An Ambassador? Philippians 3:20 (NLT) 20 But we are CITIZENS OF HEAVEN, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. John 15:16 (NLT) 16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. 6. What Authority Does An Ambassador Have? Luke 10:19 (NLT) 19 Look, I have given you authorityover all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 7. What Does An Ambassador Do? Luke 2:49 (NKJV) 49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”

HOW TO BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST? – Part 1 (EWOC Sermon – 3.17.2019) 1. What Is An Ambassador? 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 (NLT) 17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him.19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 2. What Exactly Does An Ambassador Do? 1 Corinthians 11:1-3 (NLT) 1 And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. 3. What Are The Qualities Of An Ambassador? 1 Corinthians 13 (NLT) 13 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through...

HOW TO LIVE IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BY “ENTER THE PROMISED LAND”– Part#3 Deuteronomy 4:16-29 (NLT) 16 So do not corrupt yourselves by making an idol in any form—whether of a man or a woman, 17 an animal on the ground, a bird in the sky, 18 a small animal that scurries along the ground, or a fish in the deepest sea.19 And when you look up into the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars—all the forces of heaven—don’t be seduced into worshiping them. The Lord your God gave them to all the peoples of the earth.  20 Remember that the Lord rescued you from the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt in order to make you his very own people and his special possession, which is what you are today. 21 “But the Lord was angry with me because of you. He vowed that I would not cross the Jordan River into the good land the Lord your God is giving you as your special possession.22 You will cross the Jordan to occupy the land, but I will not. Instead, I will die here on the east side of the river. 23 So be careful not to break the covenant the Lord your God has made with you. Do not make idols of any shape or form, for the Lord your God has forbidden this. 24 The Lord your God is a devouring fire; he is a jealous God. 25 “In the future, when you have children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time, do not corrupt yourselves by making idols of any kind. This is evil in the sight of the Lord your God and will arouse his anger. 26 “Today I call on heaven and earth as witnesses against you. If you break my covenant, you will quickly disappear from the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. You will live there only a short time; then you will be utterly destroyed.... Read More

Jesus Equipped The Church With HIS Power So We Would Be Able To Set People Free From The Bondage Of Satan. In The Spirit Reach Out And Take Hold Of The Authority And Power He Has Given You.

Luke 9:1-2 NLT) 1One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases. 2 Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Luke 10:2 (NLT) 2 These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. As A Child Of God You Have Been Given The Power And Authority In Name Of Jesus Christ. Luke 10:18-19 (AMP) 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have given you authority [that you now possess] to tread on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] over all the power of the enemy (Satan); and nothing will [in any way] harm you. During His Final Hours With His Disciples Before He Went To The Cross, Jesus Repeatedly Emphasized The Authority And Power He Had Given Them Through His Name. Jesus told them, John 15:16 (AMP) 16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you. To Walk In The Supernatural, You Must Begin To Exercise And Release The Authority And Power Jesus Christ Has Given You. Ephesians 3:20 (AMP) 20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out... Read More

HOW TO LIVE IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – Pt 1 Mark 16:16-18 (NLT) 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.” John 14:12 (NLT) 12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. John 14:16-17 (NLT) 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. John 14:26 (AMP) 26 But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you Matthew 10:1 (NKJV) And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Matthew 10:7-8 (NLT) 7 Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!

6 KEYS TO WALKING IN HOLINESS Part #3 5. SEE SIN AS GOD SEES IT AND KEEP YOURSELF UNDEFILED Romans 12:9 (NLT) 9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Jude 23 (NLT) 23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 (NIV) 22 reject (or stay away) every kind of evil. We Are To Keep Ourselves Away From Anything That Looks Like Sin, Leads To Sin, Is Questionable, Or Borders On Sin! Galatians 5:21 (NLT) say…… Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 2 Corinthians 6:16-18 (NIV) 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them,and I will be their God and they will be my people.” 17 Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 18 And “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Peter 3:10-14 (NLT) 10 But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment. 11 Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live,12 looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the... Read More
