Today, we want to see how God’s word teaches us that the higher we want to go in the Lord, the higher we must go in the way we think. If we can think like we’ll think in heaven we’ll experience more of heaven here on earth. Excellent thinking produces excellent living. Change your thoughts, change your life. There is no greater obstacle to victory than "Stinkin' thinkin"

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NIV)

Pastor Dale talks about at a man named Gideon, who went from a wimp to a warrior by changing the way he thought; raising his thoughts to the level of God’s opinion of him. (Judges 6:11-16 NIV)

Gideon was a Prisoner of his thoughts. He was caught in a victim and poverty mindset, blaming God, and surrendering hope. His hopelessness was not based on truth but on what he believed about his situation. The most important thing about your life isn’t the situation you’re in; it is what you Believe about the situation.

On this Episode Pastor Dale Walker shares “To succeed you just have to get up one more time than you fall down.” The higher you go the more failures and setbacks you will have, The more you succeed, the more you will fail. The more you stretch and grow, the more times you will not only stumble but will feel like quitting.Pastor Dale Shares encouraging word to rise up and make it to the top. There are things that you have to quit and ways you have to recommit. Our Victory challenge is to make a decision of resignation to what will keep you down and recommitment of faith to what will let you rise up.

“For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again.” (Proverbs 24:16 NIV)

“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not abandoned; struck down, butnot destroyed. We always carry abound in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NIV)

Jim & Sandy McCann are an example of how not only survive but thrive and make a difference for God in the most difficult of circumstances. their service in Ukraine is a picture of Christians living in tragic times of suffering but turning suffering into serving and intercession. Losing their only child to medical malpractice, when they began as missionaries in Ukraine, helped prepare them for this challenge. they chose to turn their sorrow into surrender and raised Ukrainian orphaned children. We see an example of what happens when you follow The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit showed them 15 Years in advance, that the War was coming and they strategically built facilities and prepared for refuge centers for Internally Displaced People.

3 Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant andboundless mercy has caused us to be born again [that is, to be reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] to an ever-living hope and confident assurance through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 [born anew] into an inheritance which is imperishable [beyond the reach of change] and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are being protected and shielded by the power of God through your faith for salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice greatly, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the genuineness of your faith, which is much more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested andpurified by fire, may be found to result in [your] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not even see Him now, you believe and trust in Him and you greatly rejoice and delight with inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 receiving as the result [the outcome, the consummation] of your faith, the salvation of [a]your souls. (1 Peter 1: 3-9)

Part three of the sermon series ‘Finishing At The Top’ delivered by Pastor Dale Walker. The most important moments of our lives are moments of total commitment. Finishing on top comes from making and maintaining passionate and bold commitments to God and the goals and roles He has for our lives.

“But because my servant Cale has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.” (Numbers 14:24 NIV)

Today, as we celebrate HFTW’s 25th anniversary we want to spend time remembering what God has done so we can rise in faith to claim all He wants to do! Remember what God has done reignites passion to believe God for what He can do.

“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul and forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. (Psalms 103:1-5 NIV)

Part one of the new sermon series ‘Finishing At The Top’ delivered by Pastor Dale Walker. Finishing at the top is about accomplishing God’s highest purpose for your life each day so that at the end you fulfill God’s best plan. It’s about being a “summit climber”. Paul said it this way:

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12-14 NIV)

Part six of the ‘Connection’ series, delivered by Pastor Dale Walker. God not only has a plan to help us make a divine connection with Him and others in the faith: He wants to use us to be a bridge of His love beyond the family of God. We want to talk about not just making connections in Christ but also for Christ in the world.

“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. 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. So we are Christ’s ambassador’s; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” (2 Cor. 5:18-20 NLT)

Part four of the ‘Connection’ series, delivered by Pastor Dale Walker. We have been in a series answering why it is that everyone communicates but few connect. We are seeking to understand from the Bible connection keys that will help us start and fuel a “loveolution” in our marriages, families, church, and community. If our relationships get better everything in our lives will get better. The better we connect the more we flourish. Two are better than one if they have the same heart.

“Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.” (Psalms 92:13-15 NKJV)
