Wave 94

-- God often uses unexpected trouble and persecution to shake believers out of their comfortable routines and prevent them from stalling the global mandate of the gospel.

-- True spiritual growth requires moving beyond static, routine habits and recognizing that believers are meant to be the mobile church in motion every single day.

-- False security in familiar places can blind individuals to the new things God wants to do, making disruptions a necessary tool for divine redirection.

-- Authentic ministry requires examining our internal motives, ensuring that our drive is rooted in Christ rather than a desire for personal recognition, applause, or superficial signs.

-- There is a vital distinction between initial salvation and water baptism versus being continually filled, sealed, and defended by the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.

- True gospel impact requires stepping out of our comfort zones and actively entering the messy realities of the people around us, mirroring how Christ left heaven to dwell among humanity.

-- Modern church culture often settles for comfortable routines and infrequent attendance rather than pursuing the urgent biblical call to go into the highways and hedges to compel others toward God's grace.

-- Building authentic bridges with neighbors, strangers, and those with different backgrounds matters far more than simply handing out invitations or treating church attendance like a checklist.

-- Showing up consistently, whether at a community camp, a local gathering, or in unexpected places, demonstrates the steady, unchanging love of Jesus in practical ways.

-- True Christian witness means dropping our self-righteous attitudes and sharing our own stories of redemption with humility and genuine compassion.

In this deeply encouraging teaching, Pastor Byron Carter explores the human side of faith, walking through the incredible journey of Simon Peter. From walking on water and making bold declarations to falling asleep in the garden and denying Christ three times, Peter's story reminds us that stumbling does not disqualify us from God's plan. This message challenges the instinct to hide in shame and calls believers back into intimate fellowship with a Savior who restores.

-- Peter's journey highlights the common tendency to rely on human strength, pride, and bold declarations, only to discover how easily we can miss the mark and drift away from God's intended path.

-- Isolation and hiding in shame are traps designed by the enemy; when we mess up, our first instinct should not be to run away, but rather to find ourselves back in conversation with Jesus.

-- Even when we wander back to our old ways and familiar habits, Jesus stands ready on the shore to guide us, perform miracles in our everyday routines, and invite us into a deeper experience of His grace.

-- True conversation with the Lord requires both speaking our pain and actively listening to His direction, allowing His love to heal our deepest regrets and commission us fresh.

-- The resurrection of Jesus was not like Lazarus returning to ordinary mortal life, but a true transformation into a glorified, physical, and recognizable state.

-- Jesus proved the reality of His resurrection body by eating, speaking, showing His wounds, and moving freely through locked doors without being a ghost or a spirit.

-- First Corinthians 15 contrasts our present natural body of weakness with the powerful, spiritual, and immortal body believers will receive at the resurrection.

-- Philippians 3 teaches that our present heavenly citizenship guarantees that Christ will transform our lowly mortal bodies to be like His glorious body.

-- The Christian hope is not escaping our bodies forever, but experiencing the complete bodily redemption and restoration of God's creation.

As believers, we often find ourselves wrestling with invisible weights that slow our spiritual momentum. In a recent teaching titled "I’m Coming for All Three," Apostle Otis B. Young addresses the heavy adversaries that plague the body of Christ: discouragement, disappointment, and delay. These are not merely passing emotions; they are calculated spiritual pressures designed to strip away our hope, paralyze our calling, and obstruct the divine timing of God.

Discouragement is a heavy, oppressive influence that causes us to lose sight of God's promises. When hardship lingers, it is easy to grow exhausted and retreat into isolation or impulsive compromise. Just as Jezebel used intimidation to push the prophet Elijah into a self-inflicted wilderness, the enemy uses fear and weariness to convince us to sit down when God has called us to keep building. Apostle Young reminds us that God is moving to dismantle this spirit, urging believers to trade their microwave mentality for the patience of the crockpot, trusting that God's slow-cooked promises are worth the wait.

Disappointment follows closely behind, born from unmet expectations and repeated setbacks. Many believers grow weary because the energy and investment they pour out are not reciprocated by others. Apostle Young challenges us with a sobering truth, noting that potential is never a substitute for reality and that apologies do not always equate to changed behavior. When human leaders or trusted companions fail us, it is often a divine redirection to turn our eyes away from pedestals and back toward God, who heals the brokenhearted and rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

Finally, the spirit of delay acts as a demonic opposition designed to clog our timelines and block the prophetic fulfillment of our prayers. Like Daniel battling the prince of Persia for twenty-one days, we often face intense spiritual warfare just as our breakthrough is drawing near. Apostle Young encourages us to recognize the difference between truly waiting on the Lord and fighting a spirit of delay, cautioning against laziness and procrastination.

The encouraging news of the Gospel is that a prayer heard is a prayer answered. The opposition may hold the line for twenty-one days, but Day 22 represents the arrival of divine reinforcement and sweatless victory. It is time to stop settling for less than God's best, shake off the weight of past setbacks, and step forward into the accelerated promises of God.

Here is a closer look at what we uncover when we examine the true source of our words.

-- We often rely on mental filters during stress, exhaustion, or high-pressure situations, but when those filters drop, our true character is revealed rather than changed.

-- In Matthew 12, Jesus challenges the religious elite who mastered outward rules and traditions while completely missing God's heart of mercy and compassion.

-- Our words act like the juice of an orange when squeezed, proving that pressure only reveals what was already stored inside our hearts all along.

-- Trying harder to manage our speech or build a better filter ultimately fails, because fixing the fruit requires allowing God to transform the root.

-- Through daily surrender and honest prayer, we can invite God to search our hearts, test our motives, and perform the deep inner work we desperately need.

Lately, we have been pondering the days of Noah. We have asked the vital question of how we escape the corruption of this present age, and whether we share the same favor that Noah found in the eyes of God. Today, the Lord has laid a powerful message on my heart regarding what it means to be truly justified, chosen, and preserved by Him.

Before looking at the state of our world, we must anchor ourselves in Romans chapter 8. There, the Apostle Paul reminds us that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. The Spirit of God dwells within us, mortifying the deeds of the body and giving life because of righteousness. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. We have not received the spirit of bondage to fear, but the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

When we look around today at our phones, televisions, and radios, we see a world marked by evil, strife, and violence. It feels remarkably like the days of Noah, though our modern era faces its own unique depths of darkness. Yet, creation itself waits in earnest expectation for the manifestation of the sons of God. When the Holy Spirit operates through us, He helps us in our infirmities and intercedes according to the will of God. All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Those whom He foreknew, He also predestined, called, justified, and glorified. If God be for us, who can be against us?

How did Noah survive? How did he manage to still preach the gospel, maintain his faith, and perform his divine assignment? He lived inside a little cocoon called the will of God. Job understood this deeply in chapter 29 when he spoke of the days when God preserved him. When the Almighty was with him, his steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out rivers of oil for him. Job was honored, protected, and blessed, not just for his own comfort, but so he could rescue the poor, care for the fatherless, and cause the widow's heart to sing for joy. When the Lord chooses and preserves you, He blesses you so that you can be a blessing to others.

Over in Isaiah chapter 44, God speaks to Jacob and Israel, reminding them that He formed them from the womb and chose them. Even before a person fully finds their way to repentance and salvation, God already sees them and has a plan for their life. He tells us not to fear. He is the Redeemer, the Lord of hosts, who blots out our transgressions. In chapter 45, the Lord speaks of Cyrus and His elect, promising to go before them, make the crooked places straight, break pieces of brass, and give them the treasures of darkness. Being chosen by God means you have an intentional assignment, backed by the Creator of the universe.

We see this same divine empowerment manifested on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2, when heaven broke onto earth with a rushing mighty wind and cloven tongues of fire. Peter stood up and declared that this was the fulfillment of the prophecy given by Joel, wherein God pours out His Spirit upon all flesh. We have been living in these last days ever since, called to seek the face of the Lord, receive redemption, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Philippians chapter 2 urges us to let this mind be in us which was also in Christ Jesus, who humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. To be blameless and harmless as the sons of God in the midst of a crooked and perverse world, we must do all things without murmuring and disputing. We are called to shine as lights, holding forth the word of life.
