Check out the new episode with Brother Marcus McIntosh. Today, we'll get an important message on the desires of God and of Man.
'It wasn't until I was stripped that I found out how much God had me covered.'
In this episode, Brother Marcus McIntosh provides an encouraging and challenging message about the sufficiency of God - taken from 2 Corinthians 3:
4 Such confidence we have through Christ before God. 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

Romans 8:1-2
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 6:4-11
4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus
Ephesians 2:4-10
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Isiah 43:18-19
18 Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
Romans 8:28-29
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
1 1 Thessalonians 5:5-9
We have all experienced guilt, shame, hate, and various things that try to keep us down. We can stay under the manipulation of past mistakes so long we began to agree with its assessment of ourselves. The blood of Jesus breaks bad agreements and curses that we can live out our righteousness identity in Christ. The covenant God has given us is bigger than anything that has or will try to overtake us. We will walk out salvation when we agree with God!
Join us today at God-Ordained Ministries with Brother Marcus Mcintosh, who shares a teaching on how one man can have a lasting impact on the world.
Passage from Romans 5:15 (NIV)
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
'Partakers'
A message from Brother Marcus from 1 Peter 4:12-17.
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
1 Peter 4:12-19
Get ready for a special message from Brother Derrick Wilborn on the Grace of God and how our faith in Him will guide us on the path He has set for our lives.
Life can seem so unfair sometimes when we do all we can to break the hurtful repetition. We often get desperate in these times and situations. Desperation isn't the end it's the beginning. It will drive us right where the father always intended us to be. As we read from this text let Jesus show you that his arms are wide open to receive you In whatever condition and that the condition isn't bigger than him.
There are things that have been passed down to each one of us. And although they are not necessarily right, sometimes they are all we know. God will often interrupt our repetitive ways in order to introduce a new way - His way. By breaking our yokes, He gives us what we were thirsting and looking for all along. And the river of living water is given to our spirit, that we may worship him truly!
John 4:23
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
We can't control what comes at us; However we have a choice in how we respond to it. There is nothing that you’re going through that Jesus hasn't already overcome. In this message we see how Christ truly has supremacy over all things when we willingly let him in all areas of our life.
John 6:16 - 21
Acts 1 vs 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Come to the table hungry for a word from Brother Derrick Wilborn! Make room for His grace today!
Fear isn't foreign to any of us. It's subtle because it will express its self disguised as wisdom. But its results are debilitating and imprisoning. Jesus is anti-fear for his blood broke the lies of fear off of our lives. Let his words enrich you so that you can live a life with fear being under your feet and not be your head!
Life will present options. They are not always from God. His will is and will always be the best for us. When we determine this in our hearts and mind we will be filled and be fulfilled in our lives. Jesus is the rest we need and desire that we are looking for. Let us examine this scripture to see how God has given is the ultimate deliverance from being confused.
If you've felt consumed lately, maybe it's been by things that aren't the best for you. It's easy for them to derail our day and then consume our hopes. Check out this message to focus on something better for us.

2 Corin 10:3-4; John 4:23-24; Isaiah 6:1-3
Our failures might be at the forefront of our minds but we don’t have to follow them. Follow Jesus, not our failures. Your healing is in your moving! Whatever you are a prisoner to, don’t let it becomes your master. God doesn’t make slaves, He makes sons! He is bigger than your norm!
Numbers 21
We function based of how we believe. When we work to believe differently, we begin to function differently. Belief leads to a transfer, and it’s not always a quick one. Some of our biggest changes may occur over time as you keep believing.
Let this Word help you stay committed to change and believe for betterment!
There may be an end to our understanding but there is not an end to God. There may be an end to what you can do but there is not an end to what God can! God uses our limits to stretch us, to have us make room for Him. Our hearts and minds can get too crowded, worrying about things that we should be praying about, believing Him about. Let this message bring you away from relying on feelings and deeper into our faith!
2 Kings 2:19
Our influences can have us thinking we are right when we are wrong… until we see the results. He will make it so plain that a fool can’t error.
We tend to think rebuke is a bad thing. It’s really helping us get where we need to be.
Mark 9
When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, the enemy appealed to His flesh. He fought back with "It is written..." Let this Word encourage you and give you the tools with which to fight back!
In God we are all created for relationship with Him and through Him. Nothing functions properly without God being essential in our lives. Where things are breaking down, He can make you will flourish. I pray the word of God continually confounds the enemy you are facing today!
We live in a world where we worship something or someone. What we offer ourselves to secretly will become apparent openly. Jesus offered himself for us that we will able to have intimacy with God and be able to have him in our hidden places.
Times change but there always remains a rest and room for God's people. The promises of God will never be restricted by the world. Sow the seed of the word of God and watch him flourish in your life! When we live in the courts of God his laws produce prosperity in every area of our lives.
Life comes pretty fast at us in several different ways. Our attention becomes so fragmented making hard to keep up. Thanks to Jesus who is our Provider of life and Model of excellence put us back together that we can give of ourselves wholly!
1 Timothy 4:11-16
Following Christ doesn't guarantee things will be easy. We often find resistance in this walk but it's not what's against you but what's with. Our anxieties and fears can cover us so much that we lose hope. Regardless of what you encounter know that God has you covered.
Matthew 8:23-27
Excellent ideas die on the altar of unbelief. Losing belief will make whatever you’re building fall. But the power of right believing will help you to birth newness!
John 6:25
Sometimes things can feel overwhelming. You're not alone. But there is a supply that will help you get through whatever it is that has come your way!

There are times in this life when changes come unexpectedly. Like a situation we thought was going to be forever suddenly changes. The pain or disappointment can become blinding or a veil. Watch God separate you from what's holding you back.

Ezra 8
Keep moving and keep pursuing regardless of the distractions that try and steal your focus!
Pay no attention to the conversations that take your mind from the peace and unity of things above!
Phil 1:27-30
We have all lived with a lack of understanding at one time or another. When this is apparent, what we savour is reaveled. Jesus came to reveal the values of God and the values of man.
As we explore the word of God let us allow God to show us how to savour the things of God!
God's ways don't always look the way we think they should. But in what looks like an obstacle to us is often an opportunity. Let's listen to discover ways to move on to live a better quality of life and produce fruit!
The people around you can be very influential in your life, whether you realize it or not. Let the influences in your life make you for the better today!
Isaiah 10:27
It’s easy to get focused on what’s not right or what is going wrong. But when we fight to focus on what we are grateful for, it gives birth to more blessings. Just like David said, he walks through the valley of the shadow of death but he fears no evil. It wasn’t that there wasn’t darkness around him, but he didn’t allow the fear to win.
Romans 9:6-13

Romans 9:6-13

Judges 3
When things don't go the way we think they should, it's easy for us to get down. We can spend a lot of time and energy stressing over things that are going to get worked out.
Thank you Lord for always working all things for our good!
Judges 15:15-19

Guest speaker Maria Montez bring forth a powerful word in this message called “Restoration.”
Joel 2:25
God always intends for you to grow. One man plants, another waters, but God gives the increase. Things can feel good or look good for a time (i.e. Lot looking over into Sodom and Gomorrah). But what looks good now is often temporary.
We win and lose by what we are standing on. We stay disappointed because we are trusting in the wrong things. However you never lose when you place your trust in God!
1 Corinthians 2
Here Brother Derrick Wilborn teaches a message on obtaining a better life through the power of Jesus!
From Tuesday June 25, 2019
Ever seem like God is distant when things are tough? God does not try us to fail us but tries us to trust Him even more. These are our most rewarding times, as we’ve already secured our victory through our relationship with Christ!
He left the decision to sacrifice Isaac with Abraham. Because of his relationship with God, he was able to trust more. As Abraham demonstrates here, we pray your faith increases in faith through the Lamb’s Life.
In life we often focus on what we lost. When we encounter opposition we think we are powerless. Its God way of letting us know its not by our might but by his spirit. Let this message speak to your inner man that you will be able to live a life of power!
We tend to look around us to have our needs met. We can look to others to comfort us when we’re sad or to our situation to figure out our purpose. But what happens when the things you once looked to for security & strength & guidance dry up?
Just because things in your life look dry does not mean you’re going to die! It is possible to see a future even in the face of death. Your situation might look like there’s not much potential for change or growth, but just like in a time of famine, it can be one of the greatest blessings for you and for others!
Genesis 47
