We are all in a spiritual fight. Many people choose to be spectators in this battle. The problem is that in our spiritual war, if you choose to just watch, you are not only a spectator, you are a casualty. Let's look at our spiritual war and then to how Daniel won so many huge spiritual battles because of his prayer life!

Tithing is a powerful principle that has great benefits both to the giver and the local church. Let's look at some of the benefits of tithing which begin first with a giving heart.

Giving begins in the heart. We serve a God who held nothing back in giving us His Son! Giving is a crucial part of our faith that truly demonstrates the condition of our heart. Let's take a look at the heart and how it impacts how we give.

Nehemiah saw a problem that existed for years! The difference between him and others who did nothing was that he had vision! God will use you to do things that should have been done years ago if others had vision from Him. Will you just see the problem or overcome the problem? Its all a matter of vision.

Many people and many churches have dreams, but few have vision.  Vision is when you have a picture of a possible future that drives you to order your life to make that picture in your mind come true. We must have both personal and corporate vision as a church!

God's word teaches us many things. One of them is that His will is that none shall perishc - 2 Peter 3:9.  Secondly, when we pray anything according to His will - He will do it - 1 John 5:14-15.  We can expect people to come to Jesus when we pray for them to come to Jesus!

Jesus #1 reason for coming was to save the lost.  As his followers, our role is to play a part in what Jesus wants to do. There are many ways God wants to use us but in this message, we are focusing on prayers that will lead to people being saved.

So many people are frustrated with where they are at and it seems they don't have the power to overcome their situation.  Fasting is one way that helps people to connect with God and walk in His power in greater ways.  Its available - do you want it?

The kingdom of God is not about talk - but about power.  Many of us long for more spiritual power.  Power is released when we seek God with all of our heart.  Fasting is one way that we can commit to seeking God with greater intensity and all of our heart!

We have been called to walk in the power of God!  We have been anointed, which means the presence and power of God is smeared all over us as we follow Him which empowers us to do what Jesus did! Jesus came to seek and save the lost and we are part of that plan!
