Suffering in God’s Kingdom Pt. 3

*- “What I’ve already learned through suffering is the importance of moving wisely in all my dealings. I’ve also understood that gaining God’s wisdom and direction often requires persistent prayer. I am committed to praying for these virtues, determined to avoid this kind of suffering again. From now on, I won’t decide without prayerfully obtaining what it truly entails.”

Here are the author's notes from this week's message:

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthent, settle you.
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV)

*- Suffering is not a weapon meant to destroy us but a tool designed to strengthen and refine us.
*- When we say we want to grow, it's easy to blame the preacher, our bosses, or even the government. Yet many who have already grown up avoid talking about fruitfulness because it places the responsibility on their shoulders to produce what they were meant to. Actual growth brings the burden and privilege of bearing the fruit we were cultivated to yield.

*- stablish: (establish); to make firm,
Usage: (a) I fix firmly, direct myself towards,
(b) generally met: I prop, support; I strengthen, establish.
(c) "a support that fixes, plants down"; akin to "to stand," Gk root/sta, "to make stand") – properly, set fast (fix);
(d) give support to secure (firmly establish); solidly plant (which eliminates vacillation); like stereos (solid, used with reference to hardness
(e) to set fast, i.e. (literally) to turn resolutely in a certain direction, or (figuratively) to confirm -- fix, (e-)stablish, stedfastly set, strengthen. To strengthen, make firm [by people and situations God sent to us].

*- strengthen: "strength" – properly, make strong so as to be mobile – i.e. able to move in a way that achieves something in the most effective way. Properly, steadfastness (firmly resolved or determined); strength, to make strong, to strengthen: one's soul. Bodily vigor; to strengthen, i.e. (figuratively) confirm (in spiritual knowledge and power)—[as spiritual knowledge and power proves strength] -- strengthen.

*- settle:
Definition: to lay the foundation of
Usage: I found, lay the foundation (lit. and met).
To make stable, establish of the soul.
Lay the foundation, ground, settle (the area for building)
To lay a basis for, i.e. (literally) erect, or (figuratively) consolidate [make (something) physically stronger or more solid]-- (lay the) found(- ation), ground, settle.

Lifework Assignment:
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in using the meanings of "establish," “strengthen,” and "settle" in prayer so you can better understand from God, our Father, why your specific type of suffering is essential for your growth and fruitfulness.

Have you ever questioned why you’re going through difficult times? Do you wonder what purpose suffering serves in a believer’s life? This powerful message will change your perspective on trials and reveal the shocking truth about Halloween that many Christians overlook.

Here are the author’s notes from this week’s message:

Suffering in God’s Kingdom Pt. 1

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthent, settle you.
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV)
*- suffered: I am acted upon in a certain way, either good or bad; I experience ill-treatment. In a bad sense, is of misfortunes, to undergo evils and to be afflicted.
*- a while: small; hence, of time: short, of degree: light, slight, little. A short time, a (little) while. Of uncertain affinity (relationship or association); puny (in extent, degree, number, duration or value); brief(-ly), few, (a) little, a season, short, small, a while.

*- perfect: (a) I prepare, for his (its) full destination or use, bring into its proper condition (whether for the first time, or after a lapse). "to adjust," which is derived from "properly adjusted" – properly, exactly fit (adjust) to be in good working order, i.e. adjusted exactly "down" to fully function.

(b) To strengthen, perfect, complete, make one what he/she ought to be.

(c) To complete thoroughly, i.e. Repair (literally or figuratively) or adjust -- fit, frame, mend, (make) perfect(-ly join together), prepare, restore.

*- perfect: The term "adjusting down" refers to the action of aligning or fitting something perfectly according to a specific standard or function. The "down" aspect in katartízō (from katá, "according to, down") conveys the idea of precision and completeness in the adjustment—bringing something fully in line or order. In practical terms, "adjusting down" means carefully aligning or refining something so that it operates as it should, in proper order. It’s as if each component is precisely tuned or brought into alignment to meet its purpose, much like the way a craftsman would adjust each part of a machine to ensure it runs smoothly and effectively.

Lifework Assignment:
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in using the meanings of "suffer" and "perfect" in prayer so you can better understand from God, our Father, why your specific type of suffering is essential for your growth and fruitfulness.

The Kings Pt. 3

So Jesus answered them by saying, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself (of His own accord); but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father does is what the Son does in the same way [in His turn].
John 5:19 AMPC

Psalm 103 AMPC
1 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits—
3 Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;
5 Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]!
6 The Lord executes righteousness and justice [not for me only, but] for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known His ways [of righteousness and justice] to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy and loving-kindness.
9 He will not always chide or be contending, neither will He keep His anger forever or hold a grudge.
10 He has not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father loves and pities his children, so the Lord loves and pities those who fear Him [with reverence, worship, and awe].
14 For He knows our frame, He [earnestly] remembers and imprints [on His heart] that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind passes over it and it is gone, and its place shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord are from everlasting to everlasting upon those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, and His righteousness is to children’s children—
18 To such as keep His covenant [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it] and to those who [earnestly] remember His commandments to do them [imprinting them on their hearts].
19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all.
20 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, hearkening to the voice of His word.
21 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, all you His hosts, you His ministers who do His pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all His works in all places of His dominion; bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul!

Are you putting OTHER THINGS before God? Your phone, your food, your comfort? Find out why God can’t be on your “priority list” and what happens when we try to balance Him with other things. ⚖️ This sermon will leave you reevaluating your life… because God demands to be NUMBER ONE. ☝️

Watch now to discover the truth about God’s ultimate priority and how it changes EVERYTHING.

Here are the author’s notes from this week’s sermon:

The Kings Pt. 2

31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?
33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
Matthew 6:31 & 33 AMPC
*- When we seek God as the priority, we won’t need to seek anyone or anything else.
*- Don’t rely on food, clothing, or home as nutrition, warmth, and shelter sources. Instead, let’s look to the One who provides our spiritual and natural needs—supplied by every word from His mouth.

*- If we don’t understand the Kings, we won’t benefit from citizenship in Their Kingdom.
The seventh angel then blew [his] trumpet, and there were mighty voices in heaven, shouting, The dominion (kingdom, sovereignty, rule) of the world has now come into the possession and become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (the Messiah), and He shall reign forever and ever (for the eternities of the eternities)!
Revelation 11:15 AMPC
*- This verse emphasizes how God (the Lord) and Jesus (His Christ) share kingship and rule over the world.

No servant is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (riches, or anything in which you trust and on which you rely).
Luke 16:13 AMPC
*- We cannot truly have “priorities”—we can only have one priority. When we attempt to balance multiple priorities, committing to each on the same level, we create confusion. This confusion arises when we try to focus on, believe in, or simultaneously satisfy more than one crucial matter. To live effectively, we must place God as our singular priority—from which all other needs are supplied.

So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 AMPC
*- When we prioritize God, everything He tells us to think, say, or do becomes the priority. His will is not just one among many things. His will defines and directs all of our other decisions.

*- What do our Kings do, and what are They really like?
23 Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches;
24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.
Jeremiah 9:23-24 AMPC
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 5:30 KJV

Lifework Assignment:
Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 KJV
*- without ceasing: In a manner without pause or stop, especially to the point of annoyance.
*- As we strive to prioritize God in our lives, let’s never think we can pray too much when seeking His Spirit’s guidance. Let’s always verify with Him that none of our personal planned tasks take precedence over Him.

🤯 Apostle Shane Wall drops a bombshell revelation on the Kingdom of God, revealing a truth that will shatter your understanding of priorities. 💥 Did you know God isn’t stressed out? He sees your every need and says, “It’s easy.” 😇 This powerful message will challenge your perspective and ignite a fire within you to prioritize God above all else!

Here are the author’s notes from this week’s message:

Sermon: The Kings Pt. 1

31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?
*- “Who else other than me is gonna provide my family food, clothes, and shelter?”
32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:1 KJV
33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
Matthew 6:31-33 AMPC
*- God is King of the Universe because He was first (priority), and followers are of a different class.
*- The word “priority” originally entered the English language in the 1400s as a singular term meaning “first in rank, order, or dignity,” it referred to the one most important or primary thing. For 500 years, the word remained singular, emphasizing the idea of one first or prior.

*- The plural form, “priorities,” became more common in the 1900s as time management experts shifted the focus from a singular priority to multiple priorities, transforming the idea of having one singular priority into managing several competing priorities.
6 So when they were assembled, they asked Him, Lord, is this the time when You will reestablish the kingdom and restore it to Israel?

*- The plural form, “priorities,” became more common in the 1900s as time management experts shifted the focus from a singular priority to multiple priorities, transforming the idea of having one singular priority into managing several competing priorities.
7 He said to them, It is not for you to become acquainted with and know what time brings [the things and events of time and their definite periods] or fixed years and seasons (their critical niche in time), which the Father has appointed (fixed and reserved) by His own choice and authority and personal power.
Acts 1:6-7 AMPC
*- How can we manage what God has placed solely in His own power to control and manage?

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
*- before: as to approach or be presented to God, even by mere belief or constructed object…
Exodus 20:3 KJV
*- When we place ideas, schedules, people, places, or anything on the same priority list as God—even if they’re listed beneath Him, we don’t understand God isn’t one of many. He’s the only One.
*- When we divide our devotion, even in well-meaning ways, we diminish the reverence He deserves.
*- Let’s not confuse understanding and obedience. “Obviously, God first, but then there’s 2, 3, 4…”

Lifework Assignment:
We are always faithful to who or what we prioritize.If God is first on your list, take everything else off of your list. God cannot be itemized.

Apostle Shane Wall delivers a powerful message about the importance of trusting in God’s plan, even when we don’t understand it. He encourages listeners to stop trying to predict the future and rely solely on God’s will.

He uses the story of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea as an example. God split the sea, allowing the Israelites to walk through on dry ground while Pharaoh’s army pursued them. But, God didn’t give Pharaoh a warning, nor did he reveal his plans to Moses until the very last moment. The Israelites had to trust God implicitly to guide them through this impossible situation.

The message leaves listeners with a compelling question: How can we, as believers, live in peace, even when facing uncertainty and challenges? Watch and listen in to discover Apostle Shane Wall’s wisdom on finding peace in the midst of life’s storms.

Here are the author’s notes from this week’s message:

What is Happening to Me? Pt. 4

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither is bread to the wise nor riches to men of intelligence and understanding nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 AMPC
*- time: as uncertain
*- chance: when things happen without any predictable, understandable, or controllable cause.
*- It’s easy to feel that our faith would be stronger if only God spoke to us directly.

*- Children often ask what will happen while watching a movie for the first time, and we respond, “We’ve never seen this movie.” They’ll ask again during the show, and we remind them that we’re all watching to find out what will happen.
*- From childhood, we all want to know what’s coming next. But part of the anticipation in watching a movie is not knowing how the scene will end. The characters have a chance to win, but will they? We don’t know because we can’t predict, fully understand, or control the outcome. Let’s all anticipate, by our faith in God, that He will work out everything perfectly because He takes perfectly great care of us!

6 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
7 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 AMPC
*- Once people fully realize they only need Me, their anxiety ends immediately. I am the All-Sufficient God—nothing and no one else is needed besides Me. So, place your faith in Me and keep it there because I will never disappoint you.

*- When we declare it’s our time, and we have a chance to be prosperous, we’re acknowledging that the uncertainty of how, when, what, and where can’t be predicted, understood, or controlled. This leaves us with two choices: to put our faith in God or drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out life on our own.
Proverbs 3:5-6 AMPC
5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

*- People who give up cut off the time and chance God intended to use to prosper them, and they’ll never discover who they were meant to be.
35 Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward.
36 For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.
Hebrews 10:35-36 AMPC
*- Our uncertainty is why we need to have faith and confidence in God, the One Who knows how everything will work out perfectly for us.

Lifework Assignment:
Never attempt to predict what will happen, lean on your understanding, or try to control any situation. Let God control your life, which you have given entirely over to Him.
