Mark 8:15 “And He was giving orders to them, saying, "Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."The leaven of Herod is a political or pop culture spirit. This spirit is prevalent in today’s world. It wants to be in power & control; so it uses “pop culture”, or the "court of public opinion", to shape cultural mindsets for its “political” agenda & hunger for power/control. The root of this spirit is an anti-Christ spirit.

The Greek word for worship can be translated "to kiss". That really is what worship is. It is an act of love & adoration. You will find a great story of worship in Luke 7:36-50.Worship & Praise become intercession because they release the atmosphere of heaven on the earth! It displaces “rulers & powers” because they must bow to Jesus! Most of our time praying should be spent in worship & praise.

Matthew 11:27-30 "All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."There is an abiding place of rest that the Lord has purchased for all believers to live! The key to rest is being in right relationship with the Father. True rest can only be found "in HIM".

There are some principles that we can live by that will place the weight of heaven behind our words. This is the war we were born for!

This day signifies the redemption of everyone who calls on the Lord. It celebrates the events, in the life of our Savior, that gives us the opportunity to be "DEBT FREE".This message focuses on "3" things: #1: Jesus lived to show us the Father; #2: He died to free us from sin; & #3: He was raised from the grave so that we can live. This is the message of Easter!!

We must own the 2nd heaven...When we own the 2nd heaven, it allows the 3rd heaven, where God's perfect will governs, to invade the 1st.Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

The harvest that we reap is directly proportionate to the number of workers who are prepared to bring it in. Matthew 9:35-38 gives us great insight into the heart, vision & strategy of heaven.PS: Everyone is ready to know Jesus now! The question is, "Are there enough workers?"

This message defines the difference between praying "strategically" (see 1 Chronicles 12:32) & praying "amiss" (see James 4:1-10). It is impossible to pray & nothing happen! So, with that being true, we must understand the mysteries of heaven & how we are to respond in all situations.Once strategies are released to us, it is vital that we have an understanding of the "3 Realms". Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Not sure what this all means? This message should bring clarity.

God hates sin. How many of you agree? Yet, His hatred may not be for the reasons that most of us would think. This message outlines "2" main reasons why He hates sin: #1: Sin separates us from Him; #2: Sin carries within itself the ability to create death & destruction.Romans 8:31-39 clearly identifies one of God's core values..."nothing can separate us from His love." Many of us, when we miss the mark, naturally feel separation from God...but, it is important to understand that God doesn't separate Himself from us...sin causes us to separate ourselves from Him.There are 2 things we need to do to protect our connection to our Father: #1: find areas of separation & come near to God; #2: we need to do the things that bring us closer to God more and more & do the things that separate us from Him less & less.

If we polled the average church, asking how many of them felt a call to intercession, we would probably get anywhere between 10-20% of the people saying "YES". This speaks to a fundamental flaw in our understanding of what intercession is.Prayer is at its most basic element, “communication & friendship with God.” Intercession encompasses our personal relationship with the Lord. Based on the favor of that relationship, intercession is taking that favor then partnering with the Father for another person, a city, government, organization or a nation.This lesson will revolutionize how you see yourself & your calling as a believer...and if applied, will begin to transform earth until it looks like heaven.
