This Sunday at Inspire Church Honolulu, I shared a message about one of my favorite underdog stories—Jonathan and his armor-bearer. Growing up in a small town, I wasn't the tallest, and I wasn't a starter on the court, but that didn't mean I wasn't putting in the work. Maybe you've felt overlooked or underestimated too. But here's the truth: God uses people who move forward in faith—even from the bench—to step into their purpose. If you've ever felt like the underdog, this one's for you.
An essential, fundamental core value of Inspire Church is to Make Disciples. Pastor Mike Kai sets in motion an invigorating new message series on how this pertains to all of us. You may unknowingly already be the answer to someone's prayer through the laying of hands, words of encouragement, or simply a kind act or smile.
God forewarns us of the persecution, tribulation, and discomfort that's sure to befall us. We all encounter disappointment, distractions, and circumstances where things didn't work out. Pastor Mike assures us that while it won't be easy, it'll be worth it with absolutely no regrets. Be prepared to come "Off the Bench" and allow God to use you and have His way with you.
God is perfectly poised to do great things in your life and entrust you with His grace, mighty power, and a vision for your life. It'll take the right response to be saved from ourselves and to trust in the plan of the Lord. It'll replace our fears with strength, hope, and everything we need. You'll be filled with wisdom, the Holy Spirit, and His gentle love to bask in the glory of God!
We conclude our invigorating message series this Father's Day weekend with Pastor Mike Kai. Pastor Mike addresses brokenness and doubt related to situations, faith, relationships, self-esteem, and finances. God allows brokenness so He can heal you and make you whole again. His perfect power will grant you peace, protection, and restoration.
In moments of weakness, we allow the enemy to launch coordinated attacks that create confusion, a poverty mindset, and self-pity in our minds. We also need to release the idols we hold onto in order to let God's grace, favor, and blessings flow. Let go of any bitterness and anger that may exacerbate challenging situations.
Trusting, honoring, and drawing closer to God will be your source of confidence. He has not left or disqualified you; rather, God wants you to reach your full potential. 'Releasing the Fire!' within you will make you a torchbearer and allow you to burn brightly in the darkness. Following His way will change your life forever!
We continue with another chapter in the series relating to the all-essential "Winning the Battle for Your Mind." All too often, we create spiritual boundaries through internal self-esteem, pride, and self-reliance. Depending on your strength prevents God's strength from working in your situation and hinders you from becoming a blessing to others.
If you feel overwhelmed by your current circumstances, present your God-sized assignments to Him, the ultimate problem-solver. When you feel insecure, fearful, or lacking, clothe yourself in the power and spirit of God and give Him all the glory. Allow Him to sift and filter your heart of unwanted and unnecessary things so He can work through you in every area of your life.
Even if you are already walking in a relationship with God, it's important to be prepared for daily battle. It requires a surrendering obedience, walk, and heart in your will and ways for Jesus to remove the weeds and clutter to unlock your destiny. An obligation of trust and faith through His testing of you will be uncomfortable, but you'll be purified and refined.
This week, Pastor Lisa Kai delves deeper into understanding "Winning the Battle for Your Mind." The biggest challenge we face lies in controlling our mindset and "Gaining Victory Over Insecurity." It begins with a desire for God to change your mindset and a commitment to keep working at it.
Many receive God's calling but are reluctant to act because we may feel inferior, inadequate, or unqualified. God will strengthen and equip you. Be encouraged by the Word of God and get in alignment with Him to unlock your purpose, identity, and destiny.
It's Inspire Church's desire for people to fulfill their God-given potential through its core focus areas of reaching people, making disciples, and multiplying leaders. Rely on God's mighty power and impact communities with confidence and purpose. Replace doubt and fear with wisdom, revelation, and influence!
Pastor Mike Kai speaks about the prophetic symbolism of the threshing floor and its relation to a spirit-led way of living. The process of creating a loaf of bread involves many steps, including patience and significant effort. You must trust the process and embrace the powerful spirit of God.
All too often, we live our lives according to what we feel is right in our eyes, rather than what is right through the eyes of the Lord. Similarly, we are mistakenly guided by our perception of truth instead of God's Word. Just as the enemy relentlessly hunts for your harvest and potential, God never stops seeking your heart. This message will teach you the sounds that are pleasing to God, which heaven will honor if you steward the opportunity.
It requires a deep commitment and reliance on God. Distinguishing the wheat from the chaff in your life and persistently working is where God accomplishes His greatest work. Remain faithful and obedient while in God's shadow. Pastor Mike assures you that when you feel "The Tension of the Threshing," the testing and plodding you're experiencing will develop your character and bring you prosperity.
This week, Pastor Mike Kai delivers an uplifting message about the definition of joy and the steps you can take to achieve it. Happiness fades, but joy endures with meaning and purpose. It begins by praising Him, regardless of your current circumstances, even when you're not in the mood and don't feel like it. View it not as a matter of want, but as something you should do.
Pastor Mike encourages you to be joyful in the Lord, as He is your never-ending source of strength and strategy. You need not worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Cast your worries upon Him, because He cares. Experience God's peace by telling Him what you need and thanking Him for all He has done.
The enemy is a roaring lion who will attempt to steal your joy. "When the Roar Gets Louder," humble yourself under the mighty power of God, and you will be lifted in honor. Remain strong in your faith and act in trust and obedience to discover perfect peace.
