MAKING A DEMAND ON HEAVEN'S ANOINTINGGod has preordained things, set up rules and ordinances that govern what takes place. His Word is fixed, it does not change. If we understand the rules it gives us a better chance at how to walk out this life. We must remember that God thinks in terms of forever and eternal. Don't limit yourself to His answer in terms of today, but in terms of forever. Our demands must not be based upon our self centered wishes or whimsical desires or even personal ambitions. God is Sovereign and He answers to no one outside of Himself. However, within the confines of His enduring Word we can make withdrawals and demands upon the anointing of God to accomplish His purposes. We can place a demand on the anointing of God based upon faith and His Word.

The love that Jesus has for us is not passive or simply a romantic response. His love is rooted in truth and an active response and as Christians we need to understand this love. His love has life changing character altering power. Scripture says that love is more than just a feeling or an action... it is a lifetime of actions. Many Christians think God has played some kind of joke when he designed them, because they have never been able to like themselves let along believer that the God of the Bible loves them. Listen in as we talk about how we can comprehend how deep, how wide, how high, how long and how great His love really is for us.

"MODERN EVANGELISM" says: Becoming a Christian is a matter of a moment in time, not a lifetime. Accerpting Christ is an emotional experience, with promises of health, wealth and prosperity. Jesus wasn't looking to catch someone at the right moment or a crisis in their life. Salvation for Jesus, meant inviting someone into the Kingdom, inviting them to receive forgiveness and salvation. He was not asking them for a moment, He was demanding the rest of their lives. He wanted a carefully thought out commitment of a lifetime. Repentance from sin, Confession as Jesus as Lord, and Obedience from the heart to the Word and Spirit of God for life.

Almost every Pastor in America has used the "Sinners Prayer" to fill their churches. A good portion of the people that fill those churches have relied on this prayer for Fire Insurance. But are they really saved?? Are you really saved?? Is this "Sinners Prayer" even Biblical?? If it's a "Sinners Prayer" that has not transformed you then it will not save you! We don't see the church in America getting or America itself getting any better. So what's the problem? David Platt states, "I'm convinced that many people in our churches are simply missing the life of Christ, and a lot of it has to do with what we've sold them as the gospel, i.e. pray this prayer, accept Jesus into your heart, invite Christ into your life." "Should it not concern us that there is no such superstitious prayer in the New Testament? Should it not concern us that the Bible never uses the phrase, 'accept Jesus into your heart' or 'invite Christ into your life'? It's not the gospel we see being preached, it's modern evangelism built on sinking sand. And it runs the risk of disillusioning millions of souls."

Some of you have been in a battle. You have wondered why the battle has gotten more fierce, more intense. It's because you are no longer fighting for yourselves. You are not fighting to stay saved or simply for victory over the flesh. You are fighting for others, for your children, your neighbor, your city, your nation. And to win this battle His presence must go with you! This is why the battle has intensified. With this you can't afford to be casual, you can't afford to sit back and you most certainly can afford to be found guilty of "SIN MIXING!" From the beginning God chose to reveal His presence ONLY through a special, separated people. He chose to reveal Himself through Israel, but only if they would avoid the sin of mixture. 'Sin Mixing" IS DANGEROUS FOR CHRISTIANS TODAY. God warned Israel that any mixture with the world would cause Him to withdraw His presence, and He would reject them as the special channel of revelation. Listen in to this powerful message to learn how to avoid the deadly lifestyle of "SIN MIXING."

What will today be like for you? Is the sky beautiful and blue or is it grey and cloudy? What sets the tone for your day? Do you live in reaction to your present life and your present circumstances? Do you live in reaction to how you feel? Do you spend so much time living in reaction to the devil, your problems or the situation that you have a hard time hearing from God? Jesus did things different! He lived in constant reaction to His Father. He lived in constant awareness of the Spirit of God. It is possible for us to live this way too! Learn how to react to the Father's purposes and plans for your life and you will be able to release the Kingdom of God into the atmosphere around you.

So how do you take an old wineskin and renew it? It's simple really. You take the old dried up wine skin, submerge it under the water for a while. Then bring the wine skin out of the water and rub olive oil on the wineskin. Then then repeat the process until the wineskin is soft and flexible. We also need to be submerged into the Holy Spirit (Water) and then have the oil, also representative of the Holy Spirit rubbed all over us. This will allow us to become soft and flexible and gives us the ability to expand. Fasting does that, it expands us, softens us, makes us pliable and ready to accept the power of God that wants to flow through us. Fasting enlarges us as conduit. We can place our hand on the problem, the other hand on God and stand in the gap. God's power is limitless, His power hasn't changed, we change and are the conduit to the connection.

So little talked about, so little taught about, so little preached about, so little prayed with, yet so powerful a weapon. Fasting is so spiritually explosive the enemy wants to keep it a secret. Men of the past knew of it's power, our country new of its need, so much so, that in 1863 it was made a proclamation for the whole country to abide by. Fasting expands our capacity to contain what the Holy Spirit wants to do in and though us. Our prayers are intensified by fasting. Our prayers are multiplied by fasting and our prayers are sanctified by fasting. Fasting is not fun or enjoyable but it is powerful and a weapon much needed in our lives today.

Are you a part time Christian? That is where most of the church in America lives today. Wanting the full time benefits of heaven with a part time commitment to God. Many today in America have their name written on the roster at church but it wouldn't be found in the Lambs Book of Life. Many think their mixing Christianity with the world and then they give God just enough to make them feel good. But whats really happening is that their mixing in all the stuff from the world into their Christianity. This concoction is a toxic potion which the enemy of our soul feeds on, it sustains him, and then he is not easily broken off or removed. We must not be lukewarm this is where the enemy resides. He must be starved out, cast off, cast out, expelled from our lives and our churches. True repentance and true revival is a good remedy for this.
