Pastor Todd teaches us today from his series, "The Old is the New". In this series he shows us a new reality about the relationship of the Old Testament to the New. Just as Jesus would tell parables, stories to explain spiritual realities, the Old Testament can be seen as stories to reveal New Testament spiritual truths and realities. For example, in Luke 24:27, the scripture says "Then beginning with Moses and with all of the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all of the scriptures."

In today's message, Pastor Todd focuses on the story of Jonah. Jesus tells us that He and Jonah are similar in Luke 11. So can we see Jesus in the story of Jonah? Could Jesus be rightfully compared to Jonah? Pastor Todd reveals Jesus in this story.

From the Book of Daniel, Pastor Todd teach us how to distinguish committed leaders and how to become such a distinguished leader. What was it that distinguished Daniel before the King? The scripture answers that question, "because he possessed an extraordinary spirit". Further, "no one could find any ground for accusation and no negligence or corruption could be found in him". He was righteous in every way.

One lesson in Daniel's experience is that other leaders can become jealous at your promotion or honor. They will seek a way to bring you down. Don't give them that opening through negligence or corruption. Other leaders may act unrighteously or negligently but the man or woman of God will not and promotion will come.

Promotion comes through righteousness.

Personal and professional lives will cross over sooner or later. Walk righteously in your personal life as well as your professional life.

The gift of tongues has been very controversial for over century among Christians. Some of that has been due to tradition and "the way that we have always done this". For others it is a matter of fear or discomfort or lack of experience. Today Pastor Todd is going to walk us through the Word of God only, not tradition or experience. He explains from scripture the foundation of this gift, one of many that "follow those who believe".

Pastor Todd answers these questions and more. Are tongues a known language? Are tongues ecstatic gibberish or a spiritual language? Where do tongues come from? Are tongues used as a prayer language? Why did God give us this ability? Can every believer speak in tongues?

Let's listen in as Pastor Todd explains.

If you are not sure that tongues and the other Spiritual gifts are for today, check out Pastor Todd's previous message on that.

Our assistant Pastor, Massey Campos, speaks to us today about dry bones. The familiar scripture from Ezekiel 37 talk about a valley of dry bones. He points out that this is not a valley of dead people. These bodies have been dead for a long time such that they have dried out. Do you feel like that? Are you feeling dry? Pastor Massey talks about this dryness in the church, in the lives of Christians and in the lives of people in our territory and nation that need resurrection. He shows us the hope for revival and renewal and resurrection in Christ, in the Holy Spirit. He points out that these bones did not just rise up to become just people who walk around as they did before but they rose up as warriors ready to fight for the things of the Kingdom of God.

This is a message of hope for something new to happen in our lives. God is present. The Holy Spirit fills us and strengthens us for this life and for the battles that come our way because walk in the Spirit of righteousness.

As Pastor Todd continues teaching through the Year of the Holy Spirit, he teaches us now about one of the most controversial teachings among modern Christians. Please don't let this divert you. Pastor Todd shares the reasons why so many Christians and their leaders teach that the gifts are not for today. Then he proceeds, from scripture, to show why this perspective is based on "sloppy Bible interpretation".

He does not teach us from History, nor from fear of chaos in the church, nor fear of walking out these gifts improperly. He teaches from the Word of God, Himself. These gifts were not given only to the apostles in their age. They were given to the church, then and now for the building up of the body of Christ until Jesus returns.

The church should be operating in the power of the Spirit not in fear of what might happen.

Today we are going to change things up just a little bit. Pastor Todd published a book a couple of years ago called "Hide and Seek". He is joined by his wife Jan and Revive's assistant pastor, Massey Campos to discuss this series about the lies that hide in our soul that lead us to believe things that are not true and then to act on those beliefs. Today they are looking at the stronghold of fear. A stronghold is a fortress, a result, from 1 Cor 10:3-5, of speculations that become lofty things in our minds that are raised up against the knowledge of God and become beliefs.

In the last couple of years fear has really taken over people's lives in response to the pandemic. This is not God's way. We can find ourselves entertaining speculations from the world such that they grow in our minds to become lofty things that oppose God's will for us. Fear, as a tool of Satan, is constantly roaming around like a Lion seeking whom it may steal, kill and destroy.

Let's listen into what Pastor Todd, Jan and Massey discuss about this important topic.

Does Self-control only keep you from doing something wrong or can it help you decide to do something right? Most of the time we view self-control as "I had better get myself in control or I'm going to do something bad." "I has better go count to 10." Jesus' self-control allowed Him to do something right. He tells the Father, please make this cup pass from me but nevertheless, let your will be done not mine. What if self-control was about mastering our desires, both good and bad? Jesus' self-control was about doing a good thing. Could self-control be about submission to the will of God? This can be a very challenging idea.

But, remember that the Fruits of the Spirit ARE fruits that come from Him not us. He is exercising His fruit in us.

We have a great honor today. Pastor Charles Carrin spoke to us at Revive church. Charles has been ministering the gospel for over 70 years. The Holy Spirit is strong in him such that if he barely touches you while passing by a supernatural anointing will come upon you.

What would it be like if Jesus said "I saw you…." as he did to Nathaniel under the fig tree? Jesus pressed Nathaniel's reset button when He told him that He had seen him under that tree. Though Nathaniel was amazed at this, Jesus told him that He can tell him many more things about himself that he never even thought of. In the digital world a reset button returns an instrument to its original, intended state or position before any mistakes and readies it for a fresh start.

Charles is not talking to new believers or those who are just about to make that decision. He is speaking to people who have been following Jesus for many years or decades. He is reminding us that we all need renewal. We all need God to press our reset button.

Who does not need a reset in their marriage, in their business, in their education?

But, remember that the Fruits of the Spirit ARE fruits that come from Him not us. He is exercising His fruit in us.

Let's listen in to this powerful man of God.

A stronghold is a fortress, a result, from 1 Cor 10:3-5, of speculations that become lofty things in our minds that are raised up against the knowledge of God and become beliefs. Religion is a very sensitive and deeply personal topic. This has to do with our deep desire to please God, our desire to be approved by God, our desire to defend God in the world. Satan knows this about us and will seek to deceive us with our own desires by lies in our belief systems. He can use religion to interfere with our faith and relationship with God.
