Pastor Slavik continues the sermon series, “Digging Wells” and speaks on focusing our attention on God and allowing Him to posses you as you worship Him fully.

2 King 2:9-10

1. You have to cross certain things before God can speak to your life

2. It’s not hard to get double portion anointing, its hard to walk in double portion.

3. The real battle is for attention

When we try to look for something new, we can miss revelation that’s right in front of us.

It’s difficult to ask for a double portion. Not because the prophet will die, but rather the weight and responsibility.

With more anointing, comes more responsibility.

If the enemy gets attention, he changes our vision.

If the enemy gets the vision, he changes the desires.

If the enemy gets the desires, he changes our worship.

If the enemy gets your worship, he changes what possesses you.

You begin to posses what you worship.

Paul asked Timothy to never forget the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in order to no be shaken.

As a painter paints a portrait, how they look and paint, look and paint.. you can’t imitate Christ if there’s not a continual looking at him. Not a one time event but always going back to Him.

If you remain in my word, Jesus says, I will remain in you.

Praying and Fasting is how you remain in Him.

God didn’t call us to debate with the devil, but rather to cast the enemy out.

Genesis 3 The enemy arrests your desires when he gets your attention

Psalm 116:8

1 Corinthians 3:18 When you look at Christ, you can come like Christ

Hebrews 11:26 You can change the way you think when you see Him.

If the enemy changes what you see, he gets your attention.

“We are not called to survive but to influence our culture”

“Hard thing is not to catch but to carry the anointing”

“We become like Jesus by beholding Jesus”

Pastor Vlad continues on to part four of the Digging Wells Sermon Series, "Fast Forward". He touches on the three "S" of fasting and how it restores hunger, you become separated for the Holy Spirit and you become prepared for your called work.

Notes

Acts 13:2-4

Fasting is not hunger strike

Fasting is not diet

Fasting is not starvation

Early christians fasted two days of the week, Wednesday and Friday.

Fasting and prayer was linked together.

FASTING IS SERVING THE LORD

A. Fasting restores my hunger

If you are waiting on God, do what waiters do: serve. (Luke 12:37-38). B. Fasting control my appetites. 


Fasting is preparation for temptation.

C. Fasting increases sensitivity to Holy Spirit. 


Fasting is not making God talk but make me hear

FASTING IS ABOUT SEPARATED TO THE LORD


A. Fasting is being separated to the Holy Spirit.

B. A vessel that honors the Holy Spirit will be a vessel that the Holy Spirit will honor (1 Samuel 2:30) Calling is discovered (gold, silver, wood, clay) (2 Timothy 2:20-21)

Consecration is decided (honor or dishonored)

C. You are enslaved by what you enjoy. 


What you do in your free time will either set you free or enslave you. 


You are what you enjoy 


It’s not about formula of what to separate from but focus on what to separate to. 


FASTING AS SENDING BY THE LORD

A. Paul was sent by Spirit but first he was separated to the Spirit.

B. There is your current work and your called work.

C. Your called work comes with confirmation and commission.

Pastor Ilya continues the sermon series "digging wells". He speaks on how God will redeem all that you have lost. Just you wait, He is your kinsman redeemer.

Notes:

Ruth 1

Land of Israel was a promise land.

Naomi leaves her promise land because there is a famine

Don’t abandon your dream of business, career, family, marriage, healing, quest for freedom because you are in a difficult moment now.

Don’t leave your church because its going through the famine.

What do you do in famine?

Pray

Fast

Seek God’s face

He will heal the land to produce a harvest again

When we experience loss in our life we get disappointed. Disappointment will turn into bitterness if we dwell on it.

Don’t meditate on what God has not done in your life.

Don’t stop living because something has died in your life.

Release God from the the wrong doing. He is not responsible.

He has no sickness, death, setback, poverty to give.

All good and perfect gifts come from Him.

Don’t stay in the land of negativity, in the land where things died. Go to the land of the promise. God is visiting his people again. He will visit you!

If God has visited your neighbor, be happy for them because that means God is in the neighborhood and He will visit you next!

Go back to God, to His presents, go back to your promise. Go back to Bethlehem, the house of bread.

Don’t build memorials to what God hasn’t done, build monuments to what He has done.

Don’t build doctrines to justify your disappointment.

Don’t focus on what you lost, work with what you have left.

What you have left is Ruth!

Don’t abandon Ruth because you lost your husband and 2 sons.

God will use your Ruth to restore you to greater glory than before.

It was time for the harvest but they had nothing to harvest. Glean from others.

Don’t starve to death just because you don’t have any harvest in your spiritual life, ministry, family, business.

Listen to testimonies of what God is doing in the life of others and glean faith to believe for a miracle for yourself.

Sit at his feet. Like Martha minister to Jesus by sitting at his feet.

Boaz will redeem your field. Intimacy will produce harvest in your life(in your ministry, in your fields.(career, business, family marriage).

The best days are ahead of you! Don’t give up hope! Jesus is the great Redeemer. He will redeem everything about you. Say with Job “My Redeemer lives!”

#hungrygen #diggingwells #holyspirit

Pastor Vlad continues the series “Digging Wells” and today he ventures into the decisions we must make as christians to pray until the Holy Spirit shows up. Making that stand and not backing down.

Notes

Acts 12:5-7

Don’t stop praying for Peter just because you buried James

Don’t build your doctrine on disappointment

Devil is a criminal. You are the police. You have the authority and power to cast out demons.

Some chains fall off silently, others violently.

When we pray - Holy Spirit shows up.

Deliverance is a means to a goal. Dominion is the goal.

76% of US in mates wind up back in jail, the same way may Christians go from deliverance to deliverance, instead of dominion.

Getting out of Egypt is not the goal, possessing promise land is!

In Egypt you get deliverance. In Promise Land you walk in dominion.

In Egypt you are a slave. In Promise Land you are a soldier.

Deliverance is an event but freedom is a journey.

How to move from deliverance to dominion?

1. WAKE UP.

2. RISE UP in discipline! Demons are not the only thing we fight, flesh is defeated by discipline! Holy Spirit produces fruit of self-control

3. DRESS UP new attitude, confession and mindset. Put on armor of God not to fight but to stand in victory. Your issue is not your identity. Before circumstances change - your attitude has to.

4. GET OUT. Follow Holy Spirit out of toxic relationships, trigger points, bad places, and temptations. Find a house so that you don’t return to prison.

Notes:

..And I will give you the nations for your inheritance!” Psalm 2

I asked God for 2 things:

- Stadiums would one day be used for Evangelism Crusades!

- Billy Graham would come and preach in those stadiums!

James 4:2 “You do not have because you do not ask.”

We must also ask for the right reasons!

God’s promise: Gen 28:15

But what if I don’t what to ask, or how?

Invite the Holy Spirit to pray through you!

Romans 8:26

One more thing to ask.

Pray that the Lord would send workers into the mission field.

Matthew 9:37

We become the answer to our prayer!

Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”

Go! – is an imperative; a command.

Across the ocean

Across the street

Be faithful in the “little things”

Pastor Vlad started a new series “Digging Wells” where he explores how the enemy uses the cares of life to plug our passion for the presence of God.

Notes

1. Philippines stopped the wells by filling them with earth. Genesis 26:15

a. Wells without water are prisons. (Gen.37:24; Jer.38:6; Matt.21:13)

When the heart stops hosting the presence, enemy turns it into a prison.


b. Wells are where divine connections are made. (Gen.24, 29; Ex.2:16; John 4:4). Culture says “be a gold digger”; Christ says, “be a well digger”.

World says, “build an empire”; word says, “build a well”.


b. Enemy seeks to fill our well with earth so that our well will not water the earth. (Mark 4:19)

Water is a gift from God, well is a gift to the world.

Every believer received water but not everyone is releasing it. (John 4:13-14; 7:38-39)

2. Isaac dug again the wells of his father. Genesis 26:18; Rev.2:5

How to Dig Old Wells:

a. Remember when you sought Gods face. 

Favor follows when His face is sought.


b. Repent by turning your back on your sin and life.

To seek His face we must turn our back on everything else.


c. Repeat seek His face again. 


d. Reward will be His favor. Rev.2:7

 Whatever you turn your back to in pursuit of His face, God will water. (Matt.6:33)

3. Herdsman fought Isaac over the wells he dug. Genesis 26:22

a. When rejected, build wells of water, not walls of offense. 

Many people will only like you when you are like them. 

Don’t lose water when you lose friends. 

Your enemies will get thirsty, your well will water them. (Zach.12:10)


b. Arguments can dissolve if we give up our rights, pick up our responsibility and safeguard other people’s interests. 
Contract is protecting my rights, limiting my responsibility, and safeguarding my interests. 

 Covenant is laying down my rights, picking up my responsibility, and safeguarding other person’s interest


c. People who walk in favor must avoid fights for fairness. (Matt.18:21-35)

Jesus gives a mirror to those without mercy. (John 8:1-11)

Jesus is the only one who is does not need to be reminded of his past to be compassionate.

Andrey Shapoval speaks on living a Life that Pleases God. When God HAS you, He can then start His ministry on earth.

Notes:

Scripture: Colossians 1:9-10; Luke 6:46

- When you seek to please God your ministry transitions to His ministry.

When God has you, He will start His ministry on earth.

There is difference between pleasing God and serving God:

- Serving is doing something for God; pleasing God is God doing things through you

- When you serve God, you sacrifice; when you please God, you are the sacrifice.

It’s possible to serve God without pleasing Him. Pleasing Him has to do with obedience.

King Saul brought sacrifice in attempt to serve God, yet at the same time He didn’t please Him.

In kingdom life, you don’t have more than others, you will have less lack.

As King, He takes responsibility for our life.

Calling Jesus as Lord does not make Him Lord.

1. “Everyone who comes to Me” that speaks of prayer 🙏

If you come to Him and pray - it does not mean He is your Lord.

The voice of God is the goal of prayer.

2. “And hears My Word” that speaks of being into the Word 📖

Hearing Gods word but not being available to God does not make Him our Lord.

“I am not ready to preach but I am available to Holy Spirit”

3. “And does what My Word says” that speaks obeying the Word 📖

Obedience opens the heavens.

Pastor Martin shares a word on how heaven has a currency and that currency is faith. He touches on how you can’t base your faith on the result of your prayer, but rather believing in what God has already said.

Notes:

Romans 12:2

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind"

1. God will change you before he changes your circumstances

2. Renewing your mind is a process

3. Holy Spirit will build with what you give him

Pastor Vasily shares a word on the capacity of faith. He shares on how faith is bridging gap between heaven and earth. Just as doctors are the bridge between medicine and sick people — faith is the bridge between heavenly blessings and God’s children.

Pastor Vlad continues the sermon series "Towels & Titles" where he speaks a practical message on how to begin to walk in your assignment.

Notes:

Scripture: Acts 9:1-6

Tale of Two Saul’s: One Saul went to Ramah to catch David, another Saul went to Damascus to catch Christians. One Saul became naked, another Saul became blind. One Saul felt remorse, another Saul had repentance. One Saul stopped doing bad, another Saul start doing good. One Saul became apostate, another Saul became an apostle.

Experience alone will not change you. An encounter is an invitation for transformation.

WHO ARE YOU, LORD?

A. Learn to ask WHO ARE YOU before you ask WHAT SHALL I DO. If you want to know your purpose, seek his presence. God hides your purpose in His presence.

B. Stop decapitating Jesus’ head from the body. Judas kissed the face of Jesus but plunged a knife in the back. If I hurt others, I injure Jesus.

LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

Purpose is discovered by people. Calling is discovered in community. Anointing operates by association.

A. God will lead you to the right place before He will bring the right people. Instead of telling Saul what to do, Jesus told him where to go. God will guide you to the right place before he connects you with right people.

B. If you are in the right place but have not met right people, PRAY. If you don’t know what to do, pray.

C. Right people will cover your basics. Basics are vision, filled with the Spirit, water baptized, food, and sharing your faith.

D. Right people will cover your blind spots.

E. Right people will connect you to “apostles”
