In the theme of seeing the unknown become known, today's message focuses on the importance of testimonies and the role of prophetic words. We talk about five primary ways God uses testimonies to accomplish His purposes. In the spirit of testimonies, the majority of this message is designed to edify (build up), exhort (call higher), and console (increase joy) by sharing prophetic words about our future, about the unknown becoming known.

In this message, there's an opportunity for you to experience a paradigm shift. We'll look at this principle from the perspective of the farmer. The farmer has four primary responsibilities: Plow the soil, Prepare the seedbed, Plant the seed, and Pray for rain. Here's the guarantee: when your faith intersects with God's faithfulness, God will do what only God can do, bring the harvest. Listen and apply this message to discover the secret to a hundred-fold, sixty-fold, or thirty-fold harvest for God's glory and your good.

In this message, there's an opportunity for you to put God to the test by truly putting Him in first place. There's an incredible promise associated with this test. Whatever you do, don't pass up the opportunity for God to prove Himself as a promise keeper. He says, "Put me to the test...if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need." That's a test worthy promise. What are you going to do with it?

In today's culture with the unique challenges of a pandemic, there's no shortage of excuses, but the answer is the same today as it was in Malachi's day. In this message we explore what it looks like to read and understand the book of Malachi from the context of faith instead of fear, believing instead of doubting, and returning instead of resisting. Ultimately, God is a good, good Father who simply wants what's best for His children. It's always best for us to return to our Father. 

Returning always begins with putting God first in our hearts and minds, but also first in the ways we honor God with our tithes and offerings. When we put God first financially that frequently acts as a catalyst for everything else to follow.

Is our God supernatural or not? Is He true to His Word or not? What does it look like for us to advance heaven and stop hell? That requires much more than a natural response to problems; that requires a supernatural response. It's time for us to respond to problems with God's authority and power. 

It's time for us to be more than the assembled gathering; we are called to be an assembled army. What does it truly look like for us to be the bride of Christ, the family of God, the body of Christ, the temple of God, and the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth? 

Lastly, it's time for us to pray for and see the "and suddenly" moments in life (see Acts 16:25-26). Let's pray for all the doors to be opened immediately and for everyone's bonds to be unfastened.

Do you believe the mountains in your life can move? Yeah, but I've done that before and the mountain didn't move. It's impossible to know and understand all the dynamics from a distance, but we must keep believing, praying, and speaking to the mountains. What's the alternative of believing? Don't focus on unbelief. It's time to replace unbelief with belief. 

It is time for us to step into the fullness of what Jesus said in John 14:12, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will He do, because I am going to the Father." Turn in this message and learn how to step into the fullness of this incredible promise.

What would happen if we lived for amazing? When was the last time you were amazed by someone's faith? When was the last time someone was amazed by your faith? In this message we look at Luke 7:2-10 to see what it was about the Roman Centurion's faith that amazed Jesus. Why did Jesus marvel at his faith? Why did Jesus say, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." 

This is a message that will empower you and encourage you. It will help you understand God's authority and what it looks like for you to exercise His authority. Tune in so that you can go beyond just asking Jesus to say the Word, but where you can also just say the Word with His authority.

Karin and I explore the tendencies and tensions we face in living out Zechariah 4:6, "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts." This is difficult for all personality types but especially for people who are hardwired as doers. In many respects, this isn't a problem to solve, but rather it is a tension to manage. Join us on this conversation to embrace the learning curve of by my Spirit.
