We don't have to pray for God to bless us anymore because God has already blessed us. 

Tune in to learn more on what God has for us.

We are not born again to just be hopeful about going to heaven one day. Scripture declares that God in His abundant mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Christ from the dead. It’s not just hope, it’s not a dead hope, it’s not a futuristic hope too. But rather we are born in to a living hope. A hope that is for us in the present.

When God reveals Himself to Adam, He reveals Himself as Yahweh Elohim, which means a relational God. God wanted Adam and Eve to live a life trusting in Him, depending on God to know what is good & what is evil. 

Knowledge of good and evil causes death. But knowing God is Eternal Life. 

Faith positions us to enter God's rest. God's rest is not an event, but a lifestyle of trusting in Him. Trusting that He is good at all times.

Rest in God is a lifestyle that He has for us right now.

Our calling is to become like the glorified Jesus and not like Adam before the fall. We are predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. The gospel is not just about going to heaven but it is about transforming us into the image of His Son.

When we confess that Jesus is Lord believing in our hearts that Jesus rose from the dead, we are saved from this fallen nature, into the glory of Christ.

When we understood the gift of God and the giver, we ask boldly. Ask for bigger things. Ask for the things that we have never imagined.

Because we have a good Father who wants to give us everything that He has. He does not withhold Himself.

God, He bought us by the blood of Jesus.

We can't earn what God gives. We have to simply receive.

God gave us everything that He had. And when He gives

- He gives willingly

- He gives from His substance and not leftover

- He gives lavishly.

- He gives tirelessly without taking a break.

- And He gives us freely.

Prayer is conversing with God where we not only talk but hear from Him as well. There are numerous examples in the Bible where people do crazy and impossible feats after hearing from God.

James writes in his epistle, “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” Prayers are powerful and effective. Effective prayers are not those that are eloquent or loud but those that bring results. The impact of the prayer is measured by what follows next after the prayer is made and not in the delivery of the prayer. Watch this video to learn on how to make effective prayers.

One cannot have an intimate relationship with God when guilt, shame or insecurity is in their conscience. And that’s why we needed a new and a better way to approach God.

The blood of Jesus gives us the confidence to enter the Holy of holies. Not only that, we have a new and living way through the flesh of Jesus that has been opened for us. His flesh was torn like a curtain so that we could enter God’s presence in confidence. Cross is the only evidence we need that gives us the permission to be in the presence of God.
