Revival Fires Podcast

Embrace the narrow way, enter deeper into intimacy with Jesus through all He has done for you, and live unburdened, unyoked and unhindered.

Our omnipresent God steps into our time and space to make his presence known! This is the manifest presence of God. At times, we can settle for his omnipresence when He wants to move in His manifest presence among us. The purpose of structure is unto the one who will fill it. The purpose of church, and our lives as believers, is to be a resting place for Jesus to fill, rule and reign from!

God is at the door of, He is looking for those who would welcome Him to dwell in the house! How to host the presence of Jesus, from Genesis 18.

- ‘Presence’ is a person: Jesus

- Hosting Jesus is our personal responsibility

- The context for hosting is our homes

- God initiates and invites us to host Him

- Hosting involves the whole family!

Answer the call and welcome Jesus in your life.

Don’t let Amazon be the loudest knock on your door! Learn to hear the voice of Jesus, he is at your door. To those who feel they are coming against the gates of hell… come to Jesus. Don’t go through or to any other door than Jesus. Don’t go to doors of emotion. Close the doors to substitutes. In John 10:1-11, the word 'pasture' is not ‘rest’, but extravagant new growth! Jesus is the door to new growth.

This week's podcast is a highlight message from The Crossing Gathering. Join Emma Stark as she shares prophetically on transitions facing the church in the years ahead.

What does the new year hold? Learn how to keep your focus and step into the Open Door! Enlarge, Increase and Extend in 2024:

* A time of multiple giftings - what you are carrying

* A time of increased capacity - how are you being stretched

* A time of increased influence - who are you influencing

* A time of extended territory - where is god giving land

God is moving in victory to default the defaults in your life. Don't allow any old way of thinking or structures of the past hinder you from stepping into the new God has prepared!

Default settings lead us to act in a certain way, create a pattern of behaviour, encourage an automatic response. Defaults are reinforced by repetition and are easy to fall back on.

God has a new positive default for your life: His Word, His Worship and Faith! Walk by faith, and not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

Fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. Hebrews 3:1

Thoughts are the powerful internal, invisible directors of external, visible behaviour and action. Thoughts create and decorate the dwelling place for your mind. What’s it like where you live?

Sometimes we try to bring order from the outside in, but God wants to work in your lives from the inside out.

How do you fix your thoughts? Fix is both corrective and connective. Some thoughts need to change, and some thoughts need to be connected to a new hope and reality.

Apply the Jesus Filter to your thoughts!

He is your Apostle and High Priest. Apostle - representing God to us, High Priest - representing us to God.

Filter yours thoughts through these 2 truths:

What do I think about God?

What does God think about me?

Psalm 139:17-18 “How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand”

Have you ever been to a beach? Sand gets everywhere! It’s time to have God's thoughts about us permeate our lives. In every place, finding them when you least expect it.

Why do we ruminate on one bad thought all day long! So goodbye to fixations and fix your thoughts on Jesus.

Psalm 20:6-8 "Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright."

Stand firm through trials. No more drama llamas. Whatever you’re facing, your excuse is not good enough. God has done it all! You can rise and stand.

Stand firm in the authority God has placed upon you. He has created a safe zone around you. Don’t allow the enemy into your zone.

Stand firm by remembering and telling your testimony.

To stand firm, we need to pay attention lest we drift. There can be spiritual drift, emotional drift, financial drift, relational drift or mental drift.

Rise and stand in resurrection power!

From the life of Samson in Judges 13, there is a sacrifice which can stop - detain - the Lord! God longs to abide with us, to linger and stop with his children.

Obed Edom stopped the presence of God by… volunteering! God was detained with and by Obed Edom and this was a blessing.

Samson was a Nazarite by birth, before making the vow! Set apart to God by birth, before our own efforts or legalism, our own religion. John 1:13 the right to become children of God.

God planted a seed in Samson that would liberate a whole nation. God is the seed and God is the will. He wills it, He wills us.

Love in a new freedom of your Father God through this message.
