Our souls are designed to crave the present of God,
Hebrews 6 takes this inner craving that’s hardwired into every one of us and likens it to an anchor and asks, what are you anchored to?An anchor is a heavy implement designed to stop something from drifting…
What would you say your life anchored or tethered to?

Our street ball won’t cut it, We are being called to live a life that is different ON PURPOSE. Called to not conform to the world but embrace the spiritual disciplines that builds within us spiritual maturity and power. Will you live a life that is different on purpose?
One of the foundations of our faith is that god is calling us all, to take our ordinary lives and, with the power of god, live extraordinary. What is God calling for you to do that’s extraordinary?
At some point there will be an earthquake which will shake our foundations of our life and what we are doing,
But if our foundations are right and set on Jesus they will be strong enough to last against anything that comes our way. What is the foundations for your life set on?
Some of the biggest battles we will face will be over the Christian foundations in our life.
It’s time we check our foundations. Character, self image, knowing God’s will, Prayer, church attendance, generosity, baptisms, bible.
As Psalm11:3 Says "If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?".
It’s time to stir up our passion, We need to push back against the opposition. We should be passionate about our home. ‘This is our Home’ will you be passionate about it?

For new grapes to grow on a vine, the vine needs to be cut back and pruned because new grapes can only grow on new wood.

Isaiah 43:18-19 “Behold I will do something new! Now it will spring forth… Roadways in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert”

Let’s set ourselves up for a year of freedom in 2019 by ensuring that we are aware of the little things that can accumulate and clutter our heart.
There are moments in our life where God is looking for us to take steps towards him and put ourselves in a position for God to act and bring a breakthrough. As we prepare for 2019 we need to also make time and space for the quiet moments where God wants to meet with us and bless where we are, even if we aren't looking for it.
