In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how our declarations of faith are to originate from the realm of faith rather than from the realm of the mind. Simply speaking scripture or making statements of faith mechanically will not produce results. Such declarations have no root in faith and are easily shaken - or even shut down entirely - by reasoning and emotion. Faith is not a feeling in your head based on how you feel at the moment. Faith is a knowing in your spirit based on the eternal Word of God. One real test of faith is what we say when no positive emotions are present. Always declare the Word from the realm of faith regardless of whether you "feel" it or not.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses how declarations of faith not only release our faith into the circumstances we face, but also keep us continually mindful of God’s promises by reminding us of what He has already done and strengthening our expectation of what He will do on our behalf.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses how declarations of faith are to be a consistent part of the believer's daily life, not just one-time events like when we confess salvation. Walking in victory requires talking in faith. If we are to receive anything by faith, our mouths MUST be involved and aligned with the Word of God. Declarations of faith are not limited to quoting scripture. Praise, prayer, and even making melody in our hearts to the Lord can be a way to maintain a continual dialog of faith and fellowship with the Father throughout the day. What we say - both outwardly and inwardly - matters. Keep the declaration of victory proceeding from your mouth!
In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of confessing with our mouths what we are believing for by faith. A declaration of faith is more than the physical act of just saying something out loud for the sake of saying it or simply because we know doing so is "the right thing to do" as a believer. A true declaration of faith is taking God's Word boldly into your mouth so that you become His voice in the earth, speaking His truth and authority against the enemy. By doing so, we give voice to what God has already spoken. Because His Word cannot return void, we can expect victory when we stand in faith and declare His will over our circumstances.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the name of Jesus is a tool to be used by believers, NOT a trophy to be put on a shelf. Many people speak the name of Jesus but do so without an understanding of the authority and covenant rights invested in that name. They do not exercise the authority it represents. Simply saying the name is not enough. It is faith in who Jesus is and an understanding of the authority He has delegated that releases the power of His name into a believer’s life.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of not only honoring the Bible as God's Word, but also reading and recognizing it as His covenant. When we move beyond seeing the Bible only as divinely-inspired teachings, principles, and historical accounts, and begin to view it as a book filled with God's legally binding, covenant with us, everything changes. As believers, our confidence rests on God’s faithfulness and His unchanging promises. Because we are in covenant with Him, we can boldly declare His Word and rest assured that we have His help.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the help provided to the believer through the blood of Jesus. The power of the blood of Christ did not stop at Calvary. The same blood that saved us continues to work on our behalf throughout our earthly lives. When we maintain a constant awareness of the blood, we keep ourselves in position to receive of the help it provides. The blood has never - and will never - lose its power. However, it is up to us to believe in and apply it each and every day.
In this midweek message, Pastor Mikaela teaches on the importance of being prepared to receive the provision of God. God instructed the widow in 2 Kings to make ready for His miraculous provision by borrowing empty jars from her neighbors. Then He multiplied what was already in her house - a single jar of oil - so much so that it filled every vessel she had gathered. However, God's provision could go no further than the number of jars that were prepared and waiting. As believers, we must also prepare for the provision of God by having our spiritual jars ready by faith. God's nature is one of overflow - but to experience overflow requires a waiting vessel.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of exercising spiritual discernment to determine the source of the words we receive into our lives and the spirits and motives behind them. The motive of the enemy is always to move believers away from the plan and purposes of God. Not only will Satan weaponize the words spoken over us by others, he will also attempt to use against us the words we say to ourselves. Regular fellowship with God and reliance on the unction of the Holy Spirit within us is key to discerning whose voice is speaking to us. Recognizing a counterfeit voice is much easier when we are familiar with the voice - and the Words - of our Heavenly Father.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how living in the fullness of God is made available to every believer. However, the degree to which we experience this is up to us and is directly connected to how we live in two main areas of our lives: the Word and the Spirit. The Word and Spirit work together in the life of the believer - and we must live full of both. Balance in each is crucial, as any attempt to partake of one without the other will result in less than fullness.
In this lesson, Brother Mike Hensley teaches on the importance believers sharing their testimonies of God's goodness with others. As the redeemed of the Lord, we have something to be excited about. We need to speak openly of our experiences with God, confessing with our mouths what He has done, not just amongst the saved, but with the unsaved as well.
In this lesson, Pastors Dale and Patty conclude the series by discussing how factors such as unbelief, unforgiveness, and lack of patience can cause our faith to fall short. We must make the choice to believe what God's Word says is true and refuse to allow things such as tradition, mental reasonings, and offense move us away from the truth that we know. We must stand firm in our faith and keep pressing forward. An active faith produces endurance, and an enduring faith produces results!
In this lesson, Pastors Dale and Patty teach on how faith goes beyond simply hearing and believing. Faith calls for action. Often, the shortcoming of faith lies not in the hearing or confessing, but in the action (or lack thereof) that follows. In every battle of faith there is a required corresponding action. We must discern what that action is in our own situation and respond accordingly.
In this lesson, Pastors Dale and Patty teach on the importance of guarding against distractions to your faith. The enemy often uses the "facts" of certain situations and circumstances to pull our attention away from the truth of the Word. When we allow our focus to shift back and forth from what the Word says to what the issues of life and even our thought lives are saying, doubt, unrest, strife, struggle and, eventually, wavering faith, will soon follow. In order to maintain strong, active, effective faith, we must be single-minded, NOT double-minded. Focused, undistracted faith stands its ground, stays on course, and gets results.
In this lesson, Pastors Dale and Patty talk about the importance of speaking your faith. Many believers go through the process of building and strengthening their faith through hearing and hearing the Word, yet still do not see what they are believing for manifest. Why? Because faith is not activated in the hearing alone. Having one’s reservoir filled with the Word is not enough. We must also release our faith by boldly using our voices to declare, proclaim, decree, and establish the Word.
In this lesson, Pastors Dale and Patty discuss the importance of keeping a steady flow of the Word going into our hearts in order to build up and strengthen our faith in advance of times of need. Without deposits there can be no withdrawals. Just as we cannot pull money from an empty bank account, we cannot pull faith from an empty heart.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the importance role of faith in the life of the believer. Biblical faith cannot be overemphasized, as it is forms the foundation of our salvation, creates the framework for our identity in Christ, and empowers us to walk victoriously in the plan and provision of God. Faith is not passive, nor is it positive thinking or simply a feeling. Faith is a lifestyle and a spiritual force that always has manifestation as its goal, and we must be cautious to not allow shortcomings to hinder us from receiving the fullness of our victory. As believers, we are not called to be short distance sprinters or to settle with only a measure. We are called to run with endurance and WIN.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the key to experiencing the benefits of any spiritual reset lies in being obedient to the leadings of the Lord during the process. While the Lord is the One who initiate these resets in our lives, the success of those resets is dependent on whether or not we choose to obey and implement the changes that He directs. Obedience is our responsibility - and our choice. To walk the fulness of all God has planned for us, we must be quick to hear His voice and follow His lead. By doing so, we position ourselves to not only receive the benefit of the reset itself, but also the blessing associated with being obedient to the Lord.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the atmosphere around us has a significant influence on our emotional, mental, and spiritual health. That impact can be either positive or negative depending on the atmosphere's pervading tone. As believers, we must accurately discern the atmosphere of the places we frequent and the people with whom we fellowship. We cannot expect to remain unaffected when we choose to stay immersed in environments charged with fear, doubt, strife, anger, or the like or maintain close relationships with those who perpetuate negativity. Where and with whom we spend our time has a direct impact on our ability to walk in victory. Choose wisely and be willing to initiate atmosphere resets when necessary.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses how believers can recognize and address a mind that is overwhelmed. The health of our mind has a direct impact on the health of our body and our ability to function effectively. Experiencing seasons of overload is normal for everyone, and it does not mean you are incapable of doing the tasks assigned to you. It simply means your current load is heavier than your mind can comfortably process at the time. However, we must guard against allowing being chronically overwhelmed by recognizing the warning signs of mental overload and taking appropriate action to reset our minds back to a healthy place and pace.
In this message, Pastor Patty teaches on the importance of mind renewal in the life of the believer. When we received salvation, we were enlisted into the army of God. Just as a military recruit must receive training in the natural, a born-again believer must be transformed and equipped for battle by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Victory is ours through Christ, but to advance into all that has been made available to us requires training, skill, steadfast resolve, and a mind that thinks like a Kingdom soldier.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of discerning the origin of our thoughts. When we encounter thoughts that do not align with the Word and will of God, we must take immediate action by taking that thought captive and bringing it into submission before such thinking becomes a mindset and a stronghold for the enemy. Mind renewal should be an ongoing, continual process for every believer. To walk in victory, we must be willing to reset our thinking by renewing our minds to the Word of God.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on resetting our emotions. Good, healthy emotions were created as part of God’s design for us. However, we must guard against allowing ourselves to be moved and/or controlled by negative feelings. When left unchecked, emotions such as fear and worry can become open doors to the spirit world, allowing the enemy to gain a foothold and potentially build strongholds in a person's life. When unhealthy feelings attempt to take the driver's seat in our lives, we must stand our ground and settle ourselves by taking wayward thoughts captive and allowing the Holy Spirit to reset our emotions.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the importance of being sure our ways of doing and thinking about things align with the ways of God. When we fail to know, regard, or acknowledge God's ways we severely hinder - if not completely forfeit - our ability to walk in His blessing. Believers must continually be on guard against deception, especially in the last days. Just because a way SEEMS right does not mean it IS right, even if the majority calls it so. When we choose to stay grounded in the Word and rely on the Holy Spirit's guidance, we will be able to know and discern the ways of God. And HIS ways are ALWAYS right.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses priority resets. Everyone has priorities. What we choose to put first in our lives is an indication of the things we value most. As believers, our highest and first priority should be God. However, we must be on guard for movement in our priorities, as Satan will often use distraction to steal our focus away from spiritual things. We must also not allow our flesh, feelings, and emotions to dictate our priorities. If this happens, we need a priority reset!
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the importance of believers keeping their attention focused first and foremost on the Word of God. Many voices in (and of) the world are constantly at work to capture our attention. Things like circumstances, the news, social media, unexpected medical reports, and even the words of misguided or misinformed loved ones sometimes attempt to speak very loudly into our lives. When we allow such negative influences to steal our focus away from what God and His Word say about our situations, we need an attention reset.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale discusses how God often initiates resets to keep His children on course with His plan. Everyone, no matter how spiritually advanced, will need a reset from time to time. Such correction is not punishment from God. Rather, resets are our Heavenly Father's way of lovingly redirecting us back into alignment with His will and His good plan for our lives.
In this special midweek lesson, Pastor Dale gives an update on The 21 Day Feast and gives encouragement to those participating. He also shares several "feeding hints" given to him by inspiration of the Holy Spirit to help us feed further (and better) on the Word of God over the next few weeks and beyond. The Lord will meet us in the place of our seeking, especially when we seek Him out in His Word. Need answers? Position yourself to receive by getting into the Word.
In this final midweek service for 2025, Pastor Dale looks back over some of the key sermons and message series from this past year. One of the hallmarks of being a Spirit-led church is the consistency of the message preached. Reminding ourselves of past things brought forth to us through the Spirit helps to stir up the revelation we have received. In doing so, we position ourselves to move forward and upward into all God has prepared for us in the next season and beyond.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the law (or principle) of "first things" discussing, in particular, the importance of believers placing the things of God first in their lives. Every breakthrough in the Kingdom is activated by a spiritual law, and the law of first things is no exception. Whenever we intentionally put God first, we reap a great harvest. However, withholding from the Lord by NOT giving Him first place hinders His work in our lives. When we prioritize God and the things of His Kingdom, we set ourselves in position to receive the fullness of His blessing.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of "pressing in" to the things of God. Receiving all that God has preordained and prepared for His children does not happen automatically. Believers must actively and wholeheartedly pursue the things of God, rather than sitting idle and waiting on His blessings to simply "fall" from the sky. When we press in to know God and learn more about His Kingdom and His plan for our lives, we can fully expect to be met with the revelation, wisdom, and direction necessary to move forward - and upward - into greater levels of blessing and spiritual maturity.
In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the benefits of developing and maintaining an attitude of thanksgiving and praise toward God at all times and in all circumstances. Praise and thanksgiving are more than expressions; they are connectors to the force of faith. When we praise and give thanks to God, especially with our voices and words, supernatural power is released, our faith is strengthened, and our capacity to receive is increased.
In this special midweek lesson, Pastor Mikaela teaches on the connection between revelation knowledge and faith. Revelation occurs when something previously hidden to us in the Word is uncovered by the Holy Spirit, quickened in our spirit, and transformed from logos to rhema. As this revelation knowledge comes, faith grows and becomes active. Then, once faith becomes active, manifestation occurs, and the cycle repeats. Believers cannot expect to move forward and increase in faith without first receiving revelation knowledge of the Word into their spirits.
In this message, Brother Mike Hensley looks at ten "but God" moments recorded in scripture that illustrate the faithfulness, provision, plan, purpose, and overwhelming goodness of God. He also invites several in the congregation to share testimonies of their own "but God" experiences. The life of the believer is not without trial or persecution - BUT GOD is able - and willing - to deliver us out of every circumstance and into victory!
In this session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale discusses some of the "little foxes" that often go undetected in a believer's life and have the potential to act as barriers and hinderances against healing. These include doctrinal error, strife-filled environments, disobedience to God's will and directives, and unforgiveness. If left unchecked, these seemingly insignificant things can wreak havoc on - and even destroy - one's harvest of faith.
In this session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale addresses how to effectively deal with (and prepare for) the negative reports, prognoses, thoughts, and / or conversation that we often encounter, particularly while on the healing faith journey. Of key importance is consistently spending time meditating and soaking in the Word in order to "wash out" any negativity and renew our minds to God's good promises and plan for our lives. Abiding and dwelling in the Word not only fortifies us during the battle, it also strengthens us in advance of any reports contrary to the report of the Lord that we might encounter along the way.
In this session of Healing School 2025, Brother Mike Hensley looks back over the past seven years of Healing School and revisits 28 key revelations brought forth during those previous years' sessions. Some of the points he covers include: the importance of being fully persuaded that God's will is to heal, having a strong foundation in and reverence for scripture, understanding the power of our own words, and maintaining an attitude of thankfulness and celebration regardless of whether the manifestation of our victory is immediate or progressive.
In this session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of not only believing the Word of God, but confessing it out loud in our own voice. Simply having the Word in one's heart is not enough. Living, active, effective faith believes AND speaks. As such, we must develop confidence in our words. When people of faith are speaking, things are happening!
In this session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale discusses the importance of continually building and maintaining the strength of our faith. Although every believer has the ability to grow in faith, strong, mature, battle-ready faith is not achieved overnight. Faith increases and is strengthened as we grow in revelation of the Word. Therefore, we must make spending time meditating in the Word a priority in our lives. With greater strength comes greater skill - and with greater skill comes greater results!
In this session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale discusses several ways to keep our healing, including: standing against the counterattack of the enemy, being fully submitted to God, guarding against the spirit of fear, staying in the "right company" after receiving healing, maintaining a consistent spiritual diet that feeds your faith, protecting your peace, and staying clear of offense. Although healing is a free gift made available to all born-again believers, we must do our part to defend and maintain our health by actively resisting the enemy and his devices.
In this session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of always maintaining a well-watered supply of the Word in the ground of our hearts, not just during seasons of need or emergency. Continual watering of the Word creates deep wells of living water within our inner man. Do not try to draw from a shallow well. Take the time and make the effort to dig deep into the Word daily. Doing so will help ensure a perpetual harvest of the seed you have sown.
In this introductory session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale teaches on how the principle of seed time and harvest connects to and impacts our harvest of healing. To reap any type of harvest, seed must first be sown, then watered. For the believer, our harvest begins when we sow the Word of God into the (good) soil of our hearts. Once the seed of the Word is deeply planted beneath our heart's soil, we must then take time to water the seed of the Word WITH the Word. We do this by continuing to look at, meditate in, pray, and speak the Word of God until the fullness of our harvest is made manifest.
In this session, Pastor Dale teaches on the help provided to born-again believers through the ministry of angels. The work and purpose of angels is often overlooked and / or misunderstood in the modern Church. However, scripture clearly shows that angels are ministering spirits sent by the Father to provide powerful help to those who have received salvation, and examples of angelic assistance are recorded throughout the Old and New Testament. Just as the Word of God and the Holy Spirit are powerful sources of help to the believer today, so too is the ministry of angels, with the three often working hand-in-hand.
In this session, Pastor Dale discusses the help the Holy Spirit provides to the born-again believer. The Holy Spirit was sent into the earth to accomplish much more than bringing conviction to the heart of man in order to lead us into salvation and the new birth. He was sent to be a constant helper to the believer, one that comes alongside us to aid us in every area of life. With the Holy Spirit abiding within us, we are never without help!
In this session, Pastor Dale discusses the "help" of the Word of God, the first of three types of divine help to be discussed in this series. God never intended for His children to live defeated lives. He gave us His Word as our
guide, our power, and our victory. The Word offers help to the believer by providing supernatural revelation into the plan, purpose, and nature of God, producing and strengthening faith, acting as a carrier of divine blessings (such as healing and deliverance), and by serving as the spiritual weapon that equips us for victory in every battle.
In this lesson, Brother Mike Hensley looks at several examples in scripture of those who boldly gave of themselves to pursue Kingdom purposes. From Hannah who dedicated her only son, Samuel, to the Lord, to Peter, Andrew, James, and John who left all they had to follow Jesus, these individuals gave of their best and reaped a bountiful harvest of spiritual increase and elevation.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of our understanding the full scope of the abundant life made available to us through Jesus. As believers, we should expect the flow of abundance to impact all areas of our lives, not just spiritual things. God never intended for His children to scrape by with barely enough spiritually, mentally, physically, or financially. Walking in the fullness of the Father's blessing not only allows us to bless others and expand the Kingdom, it also brings glory to Him as our source and provider.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale continues his teaching from last week on the "Law of Increase". Increase in any area of our lives begins at the seed level, and how we treat the seed determines the level of increase we will receive. God sees and honors those who are faithful with "the little". If we desire to receive more from Him, we must increase our interest level in spiritual things, being careful not to neglect or lightly esteem His leadings, no matter how small or insignificant they might appear to us at the time.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the Law of Increase, one of the spiritual laws that govern how the Kingdom of God works. Increase is a Kingdom blessing. However, the level of increase we receive in our lives is directly controlled by the level of interest and attention we give to spiritual things, in particular the revelation Word we hear, receive, and act upon. Honoring the Word God has already given us sets us up for further advancement and blessing.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how to position ourselves to receive the Spirit of Increase in our lives. This includes keeping covenant with God, walking in obedience, giving God's Word first place in our lives, having a strong work ethic, and honoring God with our finances through tithes and offerings. Although God's will is for all His children to increase, prosperity does not simply manifest without our first being appropriately positioned to receive it. Even if manna falls from heaven, we are still required to put forth the effort to go gather it up.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how God is NOT in the business of subtracting blessings from the lives of His children. His will and His ways are all about increase and multiplication. We see example upon example of this throughout scripture, from Genesis to the New Testament. While tradition and religion have done much to negate the message of prosperity, God's will in this matter has not changed. He still desires to increase His people in all areas of their lives. Our responsibility is to renew our minds to what His Word says on this subject in order that we may walk in the full measure of blessing that He intends for us to enjoy.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses how God's plan for mankind has always been one of increase and multiplication. The same Spirit of Increase that was upon Adam in the beginning and was carried over to Abraham and his descendants, now rests upon born-again believers of today. As His children, God's intent for us is to be blessed and prosper in ALL areas of our lives, including spiritually, mentally, bodily, and financially.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how God's will is always for His Kingdom AND His children to increase. However, because of unrenewed, poverty mindsets, many do not walk in the full measure of His will for their lives in this area. As believers, we must strive to become increase-minded by knowing, believing, and acting upon what God's Word says about His will for us to prosper.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the role of the five-fold ministerial offices - apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher - in helping bring increased revelation to the Body of Christ. While all five offices are important, the office of pastor (particularly a local, assigned pastor) is the one to which every believer should be most closely connected. The pastoral office is designed to protect, edify, encourage and, yes, even correct believers. By honoring the office of pastor - not simply the man or woman occupying it - we make ourselves available to receive of the revelation flowing through that office and, as a result, position ourselves to grow and mature spiritually.
In this special midweek message, Bro. Mike Hensley teaches on the importance of maintaining and encouraging unity within the local church. Unification allows God's plan for a congregation and its individual members to progress further and accomplish more for the Kingdom. Being of one mind and one accord creates an atmosphere where revelation knowledge and transformation power overflows the four walls of the church and pours out into the community it has been called to serve.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the importance taking time to incline our spiritual ears to hear what the Word of God is saying to us, rather than just memorizing scriptures or "hearing" with our natural ears alone. To truly “hear" the Word is to understand, believe, agree with, and receive that Word as your own. The Word of God is alive and active, but we must become skillful in hearing and receiving that Word into our lives if we are to reap the full benefits.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the difference between receiving a "logos" vs. a "rhema" word from God. In the simplest of terms, logos is the written or spoken Word of God, while rhema is a logos word "activated" or quickened in us by the Holy Spirit. With rhema comes a deeper level of revelation and power. A rhema word becomes the "sword of the Spirit", guiding, instructing, and defending the believer against the enemy.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in bringing increased revelation to the born-again believer. When God brought us into His kingdom through the new birth, He put within us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit helps us in many ways, especially in the areas of seeing and knowing the Truth.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the significance of our being "positioned" to receive greater revelation from God. His desire is for ALL His children to grow in the knowledge and understanding of Him. However, not all will. This is no fault of God. Rather, a lack of growth is due to action - or inaction - on the part of the believer. By showing interest in, paying attention to, and honoring the revelation we have already received, we position ourselves to receive more from God.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale discusses how revelation knowledge is the key to advancing in our Christian walk. God desires for His children to learn and grow. However, we must be "open to know" before He will reveal more to us.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how, as born-again believers, our voices have the ability to release the power of God as we praise Him and profess His Word. Expressive paise lays the foundation for the strength of God to be made manifest in our lives, while profession sows His Word into our hearts as seed, positioning us to reap a harvest. Spiritual things are voice-activated, and the voice of the believer has tremendous potential to impact the earth for the glory of God.
In this message, Pastor Dale discusses the two prayers Paul gives in his letter to the Ephesians. As modern day believers, we, too, can benefit from praying as Paul did for our own churches - and for ourselves. By doing so in faith, we can expect to come to know AND experience the hope, inheritance, and greatness of God's power that has been made available to us in Christ.
In this final lesson of the series, Pastor Dale emphasizes the importance of believers following the inward peace of God, rather than fleshly emotions, using the biblical accounts of David and Saul as examples. The enemy will push us to respond to circumstances based on our emotions, often using fear, rage, anxiety, and the like to pressure us into making hasty choices. In contrast, the Lord always leads with peace and joy. Choosing to follow His peaceful guidance keeps us from fleshly decisions and assures we stay on HIS course for our life.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of holding onto our peace in every circumstance. Satan will utilize every available opportunity to steal our peace by moving us into the mental arena of worry, anxiety, strife, and the like. As such, we must be diligent to guard our hearts and minds against his attacks by refusing to entertain negative thoughts and imaginations that set themselves against the truth of God's Word.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how to cultivate a life of peace. Although God has freely given us His peace, our cooperation is required to receive this gift. As with any other blessing promised to the born-again believer - such as healing, prosperity, etc. - we must mix our faith with God's Word in order to activate His promises in our lives.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the supernatural realms of peace available to the children of God. Such levels of peace go above and beyond anything the children of the world can experience and sometimes even defying natural understanding. The peace of God resides within every born again believer. However, drawing it out is our responsibility and often requires mind renewal and the realignment of wrong mindsets and patterns of thought.
In this lesson, Pastor Patty Campbell discusses the importance of looking inward and dealing with the root of the spirit of rejection, not just the outward fruit. Deliverance alone is not a substitute for a renewed mind.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Patty Campbell discusses how, as believers, we are to respond to rejection. Just as Jesus bore the weight of sin and sickness at the cross, He also bore the pain of rejection on our behalf. In Him, we are able to break free of emotional bondage and allow the rejection of others to redirect us toward the plan and purpose God has for our lives.
In this lesson, Bro. Mike Hensley teaches on experiencing a "but God" moment. Even when circumstances seem hopeless, God is able (and willing) to intercede on behalf of His children. The odds may seem insurmountable in the natural, "but God" is able to make the impossible possible.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the importance of depositing the Word of God into our hearts. Correcting the words of our mouth so that we maintain a "positive" confession is not enough. Faith speaks from what is in our hearts, not from what is in our heads. A heart that is void of the Word of God is a heart that is void of faith.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of choosing the right words when responding to negative circumstances. Giving the right response – of the Word and faith – changes outcomes and moves us in the right direction toward overcoming the situations we encounter.
In this lesson, Pastors Dale and Patty discuss the importance of speaking God's word and His promises out loud. God sends His word into the earth to accomplish His desires. However, His word only produces fruit when it falls into the soil of a believer’s heart and is released by a profession of faith from his or her mouth.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of not only knowing and meditating on the Word of God, but also confessing it audibly, both to ourselves and as part of our conversation with others (especially like-minded believers). Our confession of the Word produces faith, activates our faith so we can receive the promises of God, and releases supernatural power against our enemy and circumstances.
In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of aligning the words we say about ourselves with what God says about us. Our identity, self-worth, and purpose should be rooted and grounded in what the Word says about who we are IN CHRIST rather than what has been declared over us by others, the enemy, or even ourselves.
In this message, Pastor Dale provides an introduction to the series, teaching on the spiritual significance of our words. We are created in the image of God and, as such, our voices and our words are powerful tools.
In the final session of Healing School 2024, Pastor Dale discusses some of the small, seemingly insignificant details that sometimes hinder or prevent believers from receiving their healing. Some of these include not combining faith with medical science, harboring unforgiveness, and spiritually feeding on false, unsound, or faith-stealing doctrine.
In this session of Healing School 2024, Mike Hensley teaches on how, as Christians, we are not to be moved by the emotion of fear. Our enemy, Satan, comes to steal, kill, and destroy and, often, his attacks are earmarked by fear. When the enemy uses facts and circumstances such as negative doctors' reports, pain, or symptoms to tempt you into being moved by anxiety and dread, respond to him with the TRUTH of the Word of God and put him to flight.
In this session of Healing School 2024, Pastor Dale discusses the connection between the act of taking communion and healing. Communion is more than a symbolic gesture, a stale tradition, or a memorial service for Christ. Instead, the taking of communion is to bring to our remembrance all that Christ has actively made available to us through His body and His blood.
In this session of Healing School 2024, Pastor Dale addresses the common misconception held by many Christians that the length of our earthly lives is already predetermined by God and that every person has an "appointed" day to die. Such erroneous thinking is often the result of taking certain scriptures out of context. When rightly divided, the Word of God clearly shows His desire for us to live full, long, satisfied lives and even gives us instruction on how to lengthen our days.
In this session of Healing School 2024, Brother Mike Hensley teaches on the importance of asking, seeking, and knocking (with expectation) in regard to receiving all God has promised in His word, including healing.
In this session of Healing School 2024, Pastor Dale discusses the benefits of making time to immerse oneself in the Word of God, especially when fighting the good fight of faith for healing. When we make the effort to plant ourselves in the Word - rather than simply visiting it - we can expect to flourish.
In this session of Healing School 2024, Pastor Dale teaches on how God's will to heal is not reserved for only our physical bodies, He desires for our minds to be healed and made whole as well. This includes healing for mental disorders, anxiety, and depression, regardless of whether the root of such conditions is physiological, emotional, or spiritual in nature.
In this session of Healing School 2024, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of becoming skillful with the Word of God when fighting the good fight of faith for healing. The Word acts as the seed of faith for the believer, and that faith, in turn, becomes the shield by which we are able to fend off the attacks of the enemy. No Word, no faith. No faith, no shield.
In this introductory session of Healing School 2024, Pastor Dale teaches on some of the "basics" every believer must understand regarding biblical healing, including believing God's will IS to heal and building a strong foundation of the Word on which to place your faith. If we are to successfully move forward in the process of healing faith, we must first give our attention to these and other foundational principles.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches how God's will is for every believer to be blessed financial. Poverty and lack are part of the curse, not part of the blessing. God's intent is for His children to prosper and be blessed in ALL areas of their lives, including finances. The key is to put our trust and faith in Him as our Provider, not in money or our own ability to gain wealth.
In this lesson, Pastor Mikaela teaches on the peace of God, outlining six steps we, as believers, can utilize in order to receive and maintain His peace in our lives.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the importance of being "blessing minded". Rather than being “curse minded" and always expecting the worst to happen in their lives, we should be “blessing minded” with the continual expectation of God blessing us supernaturally. How and what we think matters.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses how being out of alignment with the plan of God can cause us to miss out on His blessing despite God's already having released it unto us. We get in position to be blessed when we revere God and His word and avoid engaging in the wrong flow.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how, in Christ, we have already obtained the blessing of God. As believers, we should train ourselves to boldly go after what God has ALREADY given, rather than constantly asking Him to move to meet our need. He has already moved on our behalf. The blessing and provision of God were pronounced upon us at the fulfillment of Christ's sacrifice at the cross. Now, our responsibility is to receive the benefits of His great sacrifice by faith.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the importance of renewing our minds in regard to the blessing. Wrong thinking about God's blessing can keep us from walking in the fullness of His plan and provision for our lives. As born-again believers, Christ has redeemed us from the curse. Therefore, having a sound understanding of the differences between the blessing and the curse aids us in discerning what should - and should not - be operating in our lives.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on what the blessing of God looks like in the life of the believer. Many Christians say they are "blessed", but their lives reflect something much different. The blessed life is NOT a life of "just" enough or "barely" enough. The blessed life is a life of "more than" enough, so much so, that the blessing of God will spill over into the lives of those around us.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on God's will to prosper His people in ALL areas of their lives, not just bless them spiritually. Prosperity is the expected outcome when God's blessing is at work in the life of the believer. Scripture shows time and again the positive effects of God's blessing has in the lives - and the livelihoods - of His children.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the impact our words have in relation to our operating in and asserting our dominion. As scripture tells us, our words set the direction for our lives. When negative circumstances around us "speak" - so should we, and what we say matters. Rather than simply talking "about" the mountains in our paths, we are to talk "to" them with the authority given to us through Christ.
In this lesson, Brother Mike Hensley teaches on how believers can walk in dominion. He outlines four important steps to take, including: 1) Being born again; 2) Understanding we live under a NEW covenant; 3) Believing in and following the word of God; and 4) Returning often to praise and thank God for His blessings.
In this lesson, guest Dr. Grant Allbritten teaches on spiritually positioning ourselves to receive from God, including how to actively position ourselves, the blessings of appropriate positioning, and the next steps to take after we have received.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the significance of the name of Jesus. His name is more than just a ritualistic way to close our prayers. Like the power of attorney, the name of Jesus carries authority and allows believers to release His power into circumstances and situations.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of knowing the truth of God's word and how this knowledge allows us to operate in dominion. Twisting and perverting scripture is a chief tactic used by Satan to maintain HIS dominion in the life of the believer by causing him or her to doubt God's word, will, and nature. By focusing on the truth we know, rather than falling into the trap of questioning, we are kept grounded and are better able to resist the attempts of the enemy to pull us into confusion.
In this lesson Pastor Dale teaches on the connection between our righteousness in Christ and Kingdom dominion. A believer who does not understand - or accept - his or her identity in righteousness will never operate in dominion or authority.
In this lesson Pastor Dale teaches on how, since the very beginning, God has been working to restore ALL that was lost to mankind at Adam's fall, including our dominion. This plan of restoration was initiated through His establishment of various covenants with man. Each of these covenants -- including His new covenant with born-again believers -- has ALWAYS included dominion.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how God created mankind to have dominion and how Adam's fall resulted in our losing this original authority. However, through Christ and His sacrifice at the cross, God has made a way to restore dominion to us when we are born again.
In this message, Pastors Dale and Patty Campbell discuss the vision and assignment for Grace Fellowship Church.
In this final lesson of the series, Pastor Dale teaches on the experience of being filled by the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, which is also often referred to as being baptized in the Holy Spirit.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of relying on the help of the Holy Spirit, rather than our own strength. The key to tapping onto the Spirit's limitless supply of help is to first recognize His presence within us. The Holy Spirit cannot - and will not - work where He is not acknowledged.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale continues his previous teaching regarding the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us, focusing on the importance of our being obedient to His directives. Responding to the Holy Spirit with obedience is key to receiving more leading from Him.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us in our daily lives. Being led by the Spirit begins with hearing Him and being able to discern His voice from the voices of our flesh, our soul, and the world.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the supernatural life is dependent on the supply of the Spirit. As believers, rather than drawing on our own strength, we are to rely on the supply of the Spirit to furnish everything necessary to fulfill our callings and live the victorious life in Christ.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the word of God, functioning as the sword of the Spirit, divides and separates the soul and spirit of the believer. As our minds are renewed by God's word, feelings, impulses, and impressions of the flesh are divided away from our spirit, allowing us to follow the Holy Spirit's lead with greater accuracy.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the connection between the work of the Holy Spirit and God's word. The word and the Spirit always work together and, in order to develop in the Spirit life, the word must be active and alive within believers. Having a balance of both the word and the Spirit is crucial to a healthy, fully supplied Church. To be led by the Spirit is to be led by the Word, not by feelings or emotions.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how, as born again believers, our spirits have been made NEW. Unlike the natural, worldly spirit of the unsaved, the born-again spirit reconnects us to God and His will for our lives. This new spirit gives us the ability to be taught, receive revelation, be empowered, and be led by the Holy Spirit.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the various roles the Holy Spirit fulfills in the life of the believer. His functions include: leading and guiding; empowering and equipping; teaching and revealing; confirming God's word with signs, wonders, and miracles; and helping and assisting the believer in his or her day-to-day life.
In this introductory message, Pastor Dale teaches on the significance of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers, giving examples of the influence and working of the Spirit from Old Testament through New Testament times.
In this message, guest speaker, Dr. Grant Allbritten, teaches on the importance - and benefits - of honoring the Word of God in your daily life.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of knowing what our spiritual armor is, as well as, understanding how to use it. Battles are won by maintaining a daily awareness of what we already have in Christ and putting that knowledge to use. The more we practice in using our armor, the more skillful we become.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale continues his teaching from the previous week regarding our covenant of mercy, looking specifically at how the mercy and grace of God empower new covenant believers to live boldly for Christ.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on how the New Covenant is a covenant of power and mercy. All that we receive of God is a direct result if the mercy that flows from Him. Mercy is a part of His very nature, and His compassion toward us as His children is unimaginable. As born again believers, we are equipped for victory in this world through and by the mercy of God.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of maintaining a healthy, balanced spiritual "diet" and how what we hear preached has a direct impact on what we receive (or don't receive). The commandments of men and religious traditions, when held in higher regard than the Word of God, can easily become a snare for believers and cause the Word to be of little or no effect in their lives.
In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on how thanksgiving is more than just an expression, it is a connector to the force of faith resulting in the release of supernatural power. In fact, the word commands believers to offer continual thanksgiving and praise in all circumstances. Rather than thanking God FOR the negative situations in our lives, we are to praise Him continually for the power He provides us to OVERCOME those adversities.
In this message, Pastor Mikaela teaches on the importance of seeking after and following the will of God for our lives. The will of God is our "wealthy place" - the place where we will bear fruit and abound in all things. Obedience is our responsibility, and the outcome is God's.
In the final session of Healing School 2023, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of having diligent, unwavering faith when engaged in any spiritual battle, including a battle for healing. Diligent faith stays focused on the Word of God and does not shift with circumstances, feelings, or emotions. Such steadfast faith does not happen automatically - our cooperation is required.
In this session, Pastor Dale teaches on the connection between the spiritual health of our inward man and our physical health. Turmoil and a lack of inner peace can act as an open door to sickness and disease. Daily evaluation of our spiritual health is key to identifying and preventing the enemy from gaining entrance through such openings.
In this session of Healing School 2023, Mike Hensley teaches on God's desire for His children to not only be healed, but to enjoy enhanced health. God wants us to be strong, whole, and walk in divine, supernatural health so that we not only have life, but life more abundantly.
In this session, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of maintaining a healthy, faith-focused mindset and how to guard against Satan's psychological tactics. When engaged in a faith battle for healing, what you focus your mind on matters. Now is the time to lay down the mentality of sickness and take up the mentality of healing and wholeness.
In this session of Healing School 2023, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of avoiding deception and "false faith" when engaged in a faith battle of any sort, including healing. As believers, we must regularly examine ourselves to be sure that our foundation of faith is grounded and settled in the Word of God. Productive faith always draws directly from the promises of God.
In this session of Healing School 2023, Brother Mike Hensley teaches on five practical keys to receiving your manifestation of healing. How we view scripture, the words we speak, the tenacity of our faith, our understanding of where sickness originates, and our obedience to God's directions for our specific circumstances all play a significant role in the success of our healing journey.
In the third session of Healing School 2023, Pastor Dale teaches on how our faith grows and becomes stronger as we gain more and more revelation of God's word. Like a seed, faith must be planted and nurtured in order to fully mature. We must remain diligent. The harvest of our faith does not happen overnight.
In the second session of Healing School 2023, Pastor Dale teaches on how believers can access their covenant of health. Although God has made the blessings of health and healing freely available to His children through the finished work of Christ, we must do our part to receive. This includes building our faith by giving attention to God's Word and consistently meditating in His healing promises.
In the introduction to the 2023 session of Healing School, Pastor Dale teaches on how we, as born again believers, have a better covenant of health thanks to the work of Jesus at the cross. In addition, because of the faithfulness of God to keep His covenants, we can have full assurance in what His word says is ours to receive - including healing.
In the final lesson of this series, Pastor Dale is joined by Brother Mike Hensley to discuss the importance of maintaining spiritual order when the gifts are in operation. When order is maintained, the Holy Spirit is able to move freely, chaos and confusion are prevented, and the gifts are more productive and effective in edifying the body.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the three gifts of the Spirit often referred to as the "utterance" gifts, as each "say" something. These three gifts are: the Gift of Prophecy, the Gift of Divers Kinds of Tongues, and the Gift of Interpretation of Tongues.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the three gifts of the Spirit often referred to as the "power" gifts, as each "do" something. These three gifts are: the Gift of Faith, the Gifts of Healings, and the Gift of Miracles.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the three gifts of the Spirit often referred to as the revelation gifts, which are: the Word of Knowledge, the Word of Wisdom, and Discerning of Spirits. Each of these particular gifts reveal something as the Spirit gives supernatural insight.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the continued need for the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit within the Church of today and provides a brief overview of each gift. If the Church - and individual believers - are to continue growing and maturing in the things of God, we cannot stay ignorant of the spiritual gifts.
Special guest, Sister Sue Hubbard Smith, gives an update on Mission. Minded Ministries' 2023 trip to Uganda, Africa and shares her personal testimony.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of staying in the realm of the Spirit and not allowing our flesh to dictate our lives. Walking after the Spirit produces a life of peace and blessing, whereas walking after the flesh produces a life of death and torment. The realm we choose to walk in is up to us.
In this lesson, Pastor Patty teaches on how, as believers, we are redeemed from the curse of the Law and made free from all the power of the enemy through Jesus and His work at the cross. Knowing what Christ has done for us is one key to our walking successfully by faith. As the redeemed of the Lord, we are able to have full confidence in Jesus, His word, and our covenant with Him.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of spiritual self evaluation in the life of the believer, outlining five spiritual disciplines we should assess: faith, love/compassion, faithfulness, things related to the Holy Spirit, and giving. Regularly evaluating our strengths and weaknesses in these - and other - spiritual areas helps us to continue growing and progressing in our faith.
In this message, Pastor Dale continues his teaching on how faith is expressed, focusing specifically on the connection between our faith and our actions. In order for faith to reach a higher level, it must first take a step.
In this message guest teacher, Brother Matt Belcher, speaks on the significance of our testimonies. As believers, our testimonies are the record of God’s ongoing activity in this earth and provide light and hope in a dark world.
In the first of a two part lesson, Pastor Dale discusses several different ways in which believers express their faith including declarations of faith, words of praise, words of worship, and words of dominion.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of believers building their lives on the right foundation, which is the Word of God. The strength of our foundation is dependent on the amount of Word we put into it, and a strong foundation will enable us to stand strong when - not "if" - the storms of life come.
Guest teacher, Brother Mike Hensley, teaches on the characteristics of a Spirit-filled church.
In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of developing ones faith. Every believer starts with the same measure of faith, but what we do with this measure determines what happens with it in our lives. In order to grow and strengthen, our faith must be fed and exercised by spending time in the Word.
In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of believers pursuing spiritual self-development beyond the initial salvation experience. He outlines five responsibilities we each have in regard to own spiritual growth. Maturing in Christ is not automatic, and investing time and energy into discipleship is worth the effort.
In this session, Brother Jonathan Collett shares his testimony regarding his recent mission trip to Uganda, recounting several of the miracles he and his team witnessed during their time there.
In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the power of the spoken word of God. Speaking God's word over the circumstances of life is like firing a gun against the enemy. God's word is the ammunition and source of power, but it's up to us to pull the trigger by yielding our voices.
In this message, Brother Mike Hensley teaches on the many activities of Jesus between the time of His resurrection and His ascension into Heaven. From His appearance to the disciples in an upper room, to His final words to them on the Mount of Olives, the four Gospels contain numerous accounts of how Jesus continued to dwell among and minister to His followers, preparing them for the arrival of the Holy Spirit and empowering them to go forward into the world to spread the good news to others.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the connection between confession and seeing results with our prayers. The words we speak over ourselves and our circumstances matter. Maintaining our declaration of faith in God’s Word and His promises for specific covenant blessings at all times, and not just when we pray, is key to seeing victory manifest in our lives.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale builds on last week's teaching by discussing the importance of believers developing and maintaining their authority in prayer, as well as, the significance of our words. To become more skilled in the use of authority requires consistency in our prayers, speech, and actions.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of believers using their authority to speak to their circumstances, rather than always requesting God to "move" when they pray. There are times when WE must declare the word of the Lord over our circumstances in order to see results. Prayer and authority work together.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the benefits of invoking the promises of God that are part of our covenant when we pray. He also discusses the significance of New Covenant believers having the authority to pray in the name of Jesus.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on one of the benefits of biblical prayer: peace. When believers pray in accordance to scripture, God's supernatural peace is released into their lives.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on why prayer should be an important aspect of every believer's life and outlines several types of biblical prayer. Not everything the world - and sometimes even the Church - labels as "prayer" is real, biblical prayer. For born again believers, prayer can be a powerful tool - IF we know how to properly use it.
In this lesson, Pastor Patty discusses some of the roadblocks the enemy uses to stand in the way of our emotional healing, including avoidance, blame, excuses, and self pity. Healing requires our cooperation. Facing the truth about ourselves may be difficult - and even painful - but, with God's help, we can push through and come out victorious.
In this lesson, Pastor Patty teaches on how the power of Christ within us gives us the strength to be MORE than victorious in our circumstances or past experiences. In Christ, we are not just victors, we are overcomers. In Him, we are not weak. We are strong.
- NOTE: due to technical issues during recording, the audio quality of this session may be less than expected.
In this lesson, Pastor Patty teaches on how we are to be defined by what the word of God says about us. Do not allow the enemy to label you by your past choices, circumstances, or even the negative words others may have spoken over you. God desires to heal your wounded soul completely, without even the evidence of your ever being injured.
In this lesson, Pastor Patty teaches on three main topics: 1) We are God's beloved - like all of God's blessings, His love must be received by faith. We cannot earn it.; 2) Hurting people often hurt other people - forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves by not allowing what someone has done to continue to fester; and 3) The importance of "unloading" the guilt and shame in our lives.
In this lesson, Pastor Patty teaches on how God wants the wounded. God NEVER sends the bad things many believers endure in their lives. However, He does desire to turn those situations around for good so that we may help others. Our experiences and our testimonies become powerful tools when we allow the Lord to use us - and our stories - for HIs glory.
Introductory session of Pastor Dale's midweek men's Bible study, "Man Up: Stepping Up to the Next Level".
In this message, Brother Mike Hensley teaches on the provisions God made when He sent baby Jesus and, in turn, the provisions Jesus made for us.
In this message, Pastor Dale continues his teaching on the importance of praise and worship in regard to spiritual warfare. Worship should be part of every believer's daily routine. Vocalized praise is powerful.
In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the direct connection between praise and successful spiritual warfare. Using King Jehoshaphat as an example, Pastor Dale shows the process involved in praying and praising one's way to victory. Power is released when we lift up our voices and hearts in worship to the Lord.
In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on being persistent and not giving up when fighting the good fight of faith. Quitting should never be an option for the believer. In fact, the success many are seeking is often found in the determination not to quit.
In the closing session of Healing School 2022, Pastor Dale discusses the need for believers to keep healing in the forefront, rather than placing it on the back burner. Simply hearing the word is not enough. We must keep what we have learned "stirred up" within us so that we may be ready at all times to fight the good fight of faith against sickness and disease.

Note: No study notes for this session.
In this session, Pastor Dale addresses the false theory that God has "assigned" a specific date and time for each person to die. A closer look at scripture shows that God's intention is for all of His children to live long, satisfied lives. However, the choices we make of our own free will can work to lengthen or shorten our days.

In this session, Pastor Dale teaches on the significance and power of faith-filled words in relation to healing. Faith is voice activated. As believers, our confession should align with God's word and not be swayed by outside circumstances.
In this session of Healing School, Pastor Dale discusses some of the first steps believers should take when confronted with a serious sickness or negative diagnosis.
In session 6 of Healing School 2022, guest teacher, Mike Hensley, discusses the importance of having God's word as the foundation of our faith for healing. God cannot lie. His word and His promises - including the promise of healing - are unchanging, consistent, and applicable to ALL believers.
In session 5 of Healing School 2022, Pastor Dale discusses how God created mankind to have dominion in the earth. Although the first man, Adam, gave up this dominion at the Fall, Jesus restored our authority over all the works of the devil, including sickness, through His finished work at the cross.
In this session of Healing School 2022, Pastor Dale discusses how the sacrificial death of Jesus not only provided forgiveness of sin, but also healing for our physical bodies. Not only did Jesus take our sin upon Himself at the cross, He also bore our sicknesses and pain. Believers should not identify themselves as "the sick". Instead, by the stripes of Jesus we are "the healed".
Session 3 of Healing School 2022 opens with a powerful testimony from Pat and Carol Krueger. Pastor Dale then teaches on the importance of finding - and staying connected to - the right place for healing. As seen in the ministry of Jesus, the spirits of doubt and unbelief can hinder and even block the flow of healing. Seek out prayer partners, churches, and ministries who will build up your faith by feeding you with what the word of God says about healing, rather than tearing your faith down with apathy or outright unbelief..
In Session 2 of Healing School 2022, Pastor Dale opens with two medically documented healing testimonies from Jennifer Roberts. Pastor then teaches on the importance of creating and maintaining the right "atmosphere" for healing. Like a seed, our faith for healing requires the right conditions to grow and flourish. Believers must protect both their inward and outward atmospheres, especially when engaged in a battle for their health.
In the first session of Healing School 2022, Pastor Dale establishes the importance of building our faith for healing on the foundation of God's word and NOT on mere tradition. Contrary to what many have been taught to believe, scripture confirms that God's nature and will is - and always been - to heal. In addition to Pastor's teaching, Kenny and Pam Hughes share their personal testimony of Kenny's miraculous recovery after experiencing unexpected complications from open heart surgery.
In the final session of this series, Pastor Dale teaches on the "little fox" of doubt. Satan’s goal is to sow doubt in the believer's mind regarding the things God has spoken. Doubt and faith cannot coexist, as one will always choke out the other. God's children should guard against being moved out of their position of faith by the presence of negative circumstances or by the temptation to "make sense of things" by relying solely on human reasoning.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the "little fox" of slackness. In order for our faith to be effective, it must be active. Stagnant, idle faith does not produce results. God is not slack in doing His part, and we should not be slack in doing ours. We maintain an active faith through hearing, speaking, meditating in, and acting on the word of God.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the "little fox" of complaint. Scripture gives us many examples of the dangers of murmuring and grumbling, especially against God and His word. Complaining is not the language of faith. If left unchecked, complaining can become a habit that produces agitation in our hearts and minds, ultimately choking out our harvest of faith.
In this session, Pastor Dale teaches on the "little fox" of impatience. Like planting seeds in anticipation of reaping a harvest, receiving by faith requires patience. Often, the manifestation of what we are believing for happens in steps and stages. Don't forfeit your harvest of faith to the little fox of impatience by being unwilling to wait.
In this lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the "little fox" of strife. If allowed to go unchecked, strife creates an atmosphere of conflict, confusion, and disorder where our harvest of faith cannot grow. As with Lot and Abram, strife may even lead to division and separation from one's source of blessing.
In this session, Pastor Dale teaches on the "little fox" of negative emotions. When left unchecked and allowed to rule, negative emotions can hinder or destroy our harvest of faith. However, as children of God, we are not to be ruled by our emotions. We are to live by the Spirit.
In this session, Pastor Dale teaches on the "little fox" of condemnation, explaining the differences between the conviction of the Holy Spirit and the condemnation of the Enemy. Condemnation pronounces a "guilty" sentence and can hinder the ability to receive by faith by causing one to believe he or she is unworthy or unfit. Conviction, in the other hand, sheds light on areas that need attention and produces hope and joy by providing the believer a way to overcome those issues. Conviction addresses the sin, while condemnation targets the person.
Pastor Dale introduces the series and discusses how the Enemy sometimes uses seemingly small, insignificant things to delay, hinder, or even destroy the harvest of one's faith. One example of these "little foxes" is wrong thinking in relation to a true understanding of the message revealed through God's word. Tradition and misguided teaching can leave believers with a revelation that is inaccurate and/or incomplete, thus greatly effecting their ability to fully receive the promises of God.
In the final session of this series, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of staying strong in faith in order to "occupy" and maintain possession of what we have received from the Lord. Satan will always try to retake the ground he has lost in a believer's life. Stand strong, stay on guard, and be ready at all times to resist him!
In this session of "Take Possession", Pastor Dale teaches on how patience is a necessary ingredient that must be mixed with faith in order to fully receive the promises of God. Faith + patience produces endurance that allows the believer to stand firm and unwavering while waiting for the manifestation of that for which he or she is believing.
In this session, Pastor Dale discusses the significance of covenant in receiving God's promised blessings. God always works through covenant, and covenant is what gives us, as His children, the right to receive.
In this session, Pastor Dale builds on his previous lesson by using Caleb from the Bible as an example to explore what it means to "wholly" follow God. Ultimately, how we choose to follow Jesus - wholly vs. half-heartedly - makes a difference in what we receive.
In this session, Pastor Dale teaches on how we are responsible for determining the level on which we receive. To reap the fullness of God's inheritance for us, we must pursue Him and His Kingdom WHOLE-heartedly. As illustrated by Jesus in His parable of the sower, the level of harvest we receive from the Word (the seed) is directly connected to the response and condition of our heart (the soil).
In this session, Pastor Dale discusses the importance of taking time to intentionally remember the covenant and faithfulness of God. Time and again in scripture, the Lord commands His people to remember His word. A mind stirred to remember the faithfulness of God and His covenant will be ready to receive and possess everything He promises - no matter how great the opposition.
In this session, Pastor Dale discusses how the children of God are qualified to be partakers of a rich inheritance. However, just as Israel had to overcome giants before possessing their Promised Land, new covenant saints must also overcome personal giants in order to receive all God has promised them. Although Satan always opposes God's will for His children, believers have the authority and ability in Christ to take possession of all that is rightfully theirs.
God has given His children many benefits as part of the new covenant, yet believers will still face opposition from the enemy in possessing what is rightfully theirs. In this session, Pastor Dale explains some of the reasons why God allows this opposition to occur and discusses ways to overcome such resistance.
In this introductory lesson, Pastor Dale discusses the believer's role in possessing his or her divine inheritance. While God has freely given numerous blessings and benefits to His children, believers must be willing to take action and reach out to receive what the Lord has provided.
