We hope that you enjoy this message by Pastor Jarred about not staying in the land that God has called you out of and how our attitude can affect what God is trying to do through us in this new time!

Our attitude determines our altitude and our altitude determines our outlook

“Attitude” is one of the key things we must deal with, not make excuses for!!

This was not gratitude but ATTITUDE!!

Instead of focusing on freedom from sin, from bondage, from slavery and ultimately from hells flame, Gods people got focused on situational context.

God was bringing them to a new place of freedom and promise and yet the process was not endured because of ritualistic comforts being stripped away.

Life appeared to get hard when I had to consider what I was doing. I didn't find myself standing in gratitude or even a good attitude but actually the opposite. I felt frustration and challenge because all the sudden i had to consider my actions and thoughts and deeds.

IT created conflict with the one person we don't want to be in conflict with, OURSELVES!!

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

I want to be part of Gods plan what ever it cost me in comfort and convenience

I want to be part if it costs me tradition and mindset

I want to be part if it means i don't get my way

Proverbs 28:21 NKJV

“To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.”

We can’t be so easily moved to wrong attitudes and wrong motives. We must be a people with a solidified attitude of who’s in control. Who’s working on our behalf. Who’s going before us. Who’s fighting for us. Who’s made a way where there seemed to be no way. Who’s made us the head and not the tail. Who’s marked us for his purpose

1) Discontent

If we want to have an attitude of gratitude then we need to check our lens and ask our selfs is this lens being blurred or corrupted?

Is discontent robing you of your gratitude?

2) Victim

If you're always the victim of this life!?What is there to be grateful for?

You are not a victim you are a conqueror!

A victim attitude will rob you of an attitude of gratitude

3) Have you forgotten

Have you become so immune to his spirit and his presence that when your in it…it doesn’t move you?

Two Questions to ask your self this week!

1) How is your lens?

2) Is there a filter on it?

The will, of God for our lives is not so much what we do in action or works, but what we allow to be done inside us. The trap is appearing to follow God, outwardly in order to maintain some form of completeness or satisfaction. Yet we are motivated by greed and selfish actions that don't display godliness.

LOOKING AT LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF GRATITUDE

1. Stop comparing. Comparison is the thief of Joy.

2. Stop complaining. Complaining causes, you to forget the goodness of God.

3. Give thanks in everything. You live a life of Praise and thanksgiving regardless of what you're facing, regardless of how you feel.

Gratitude is not passive-It's powerful and perspective-shifting!

It's for ALL!

Lazy pursuits have produced powerless believers.

Have you you received it? - HOW DO I KNOW?

1. There is evidence

2. You are being transformed from the inside out

3. There is a fire, a passion inside you

4. You will be lead to do things outside you comfort zone

- your natural man will not lead you to places of sacrifice and testing.

- your natural man will not lead you to places of spiritual conflict and obedience

- your natural man will not lead you to places of self denial and self humility

Enjoy this message by our good friend Pastor Ryan Allen as he shares on the Holy Spirit and how need to be plug into the Holy Spirit for power in our lives!

Where's the Oil?

What was the thing that allowed the lamp to burn, the fire to exist, the light to guide? THE OIL!

Jesus was simply saying my oil, isn't for your lamp.

As your pastor my oil isn't for your lamp, but

should move you to a place of hunger and desire for your own oil.

1. We don't want to wait

- Gods gift comes from surrender and hunger.

2. We don't understand ity think we need it you may excuse its value in your life, but Jesus saw it as necessity

Are you producing or just boring from others?

God isn't looking for a church today that is lacking oil. He's looking for souls on fire with the oil of anointing for the hour at hand!

1) Holy Spirit: Power for purpose

2)Praying His perfect will through us!

3)Faith and confidence will over take the enemy

4) The Holy Spirit heals the broken hearted

Living on Mission

It’s what we carry….

So many are looking for the perfect fit and place in order to function as a "servant" and that is why we aren't seeing moves of God and outpourings of His spirit. No where in scripture do we see men of God picking where they want to be in order to effectively minister the gospel.

To carry the cross in Jesus time, was more about a death processional than a do what's best for you moment.

Where's the elephant

What if laziness is nothing but a habit of thinking about the effort instead of thinking about the outcome?

It will cause a great commotion..

Our world doesn't need more effortless Christians.

Our world needs cross bearers that are passionate and the work of God and His church, burdened for a cause greater than their self comforts and desires.
