Victory begins by being strong in the Lord, not in our own strength. As followers of Christ, we're called to grow through discipleship, rely on the power of the Holy Spirit, and put on the full armor of God every day. When we stand firm in God's truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and His Word—while remaining steadfast in prayer—we are equipped to withstand the enemy and walk in the victory God has already provided.

Everything God does in our lives is activated by the words we speak. It’s not only what He has declared over us — it’s what we declare in agreement with Him. That’s why the enemy works so hard to silence our speaking; confessing His promises by overwhelming us with facts, figures & feelings. But we must keep speaking His truth until everything aligns with what He has already said.

What happens when our traditions, preferences, and routines begin to matter more than God's Word? In Majoring in Minors, we're challenged to examine the subtle ways we can elevate the secondary while overlooking what matters most. As we journey through Jesus' teaching in Mark 7, we're invited to move beyond outward religion and embrace a faith that is shaped by the transforming power of God's truth.

Our life rarely goes in a straight line – it’s really lived with curves & swerves. Which can cause reluctance or resistance to moving with God since we can’t predict next steps; we falsely believe we’re better off staying on the level & in the place where we are. BUT… only when we freely & fully lean into the turns of life do we find ourselves walking in manifestation of His best for us.

Our walk with God includes pivotal moments of transition. And while those moments are ultimately for our good, they can sometimes stir feelings of hopelessness or helplessness—as if God has left us on our own. But the truth is, God is shifting us from relying on visible confirmation to resting in the invisible presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit. He hasn’t moved on from us; He’s simply moving us into a better position to experience His best.

Winning the war within! If we’re going to fully walk in the power God has given us, we must learn how to win the battle in our minds. Most of the real battles we face happen in our thought lives, and it’s usually not one big moment, but the small, everyday choices to believe God’s truth over fear, lies, worry, or negativity. We all know our minds are powerful, but we don’t always realize how important it is to intentionally guard and direct our thoughts. What we consistently think about will shape how we live.

This word challenged us to shift our focus in real time: stop locking in on people when you’re triggered and start looking for God. When temptation shows up, let your fear of God set the boundary. And when you feel yourself getting a little too comfortable spiritually… it’s time to press in, not pull back.

One of the greatest & saddest truths is, every person who is born isn’t alive. Breaths from our mouth and beating of our heart only confirms our existence in this world. BUT… God didn’t create us to simply exist – try to live. He designed every person to truly & fully come alive – engage in this world with vibrancy & expectancy from being more aware of His reality than anything else.

The Christian life isn’t a casual battle—it’s a lifelong spiritual fight. In this message, we’re reminded that God calls us to stand strong by using the spiritual weapons He has provided.

3 Major threats to your spiritual life:

Not knowing God (Not knowing His Word, His Ways or His Worth
- When we forget who God is, we begin to rely n ourselves
Not knowing myself (Transparency is the key to self-awareness)
- You cannot change what you refuse to confront
Refusing to change
- Change is not punishment - it is proof that God is working in us

Ask yourself:

What am I chasing or pursuing? What do I want?
Do my word and actions align with God's Word?
What are my weaknesses, my triggers?
Where do I need to grow stronger and more confident in Christ and in God's Word?
What wounds have I not healed from?
What grudges, hurts, or disappointments am I holding on to? Unforgiveness blocks spiritual growth.

Whose voice do I listen to the most?

What is your playlist? What are you constantly listening to - spiritually and naturally? A playlist is a collection of audio or video files that are repeatedly played. Spiritually speaking, we also have an internal playlist - the voices, messages and thoughts we rehearse daily
What do I value most in life?
How much time do I spend on what I claim to value?
What you consistently listen to shapes your faith, your confidence and your direction. If your playlist is filled with doubt, fear, compassion or negativity, your life will reflect it.

THE BIG DISCOVERY

You must know God, know the Word of God and live God's Word!

Each of us knows life is about “change”; always making decisions & taking actions that put us in the best position to thrive & triumph in life. Naturally speaking, it’s often a view of change that can be traced to our own wisdom, schedule & ability. BUT…in accepting our call to Follow Him; it’s not just change; it’s radical change – a life that fully points to our confidence in & obedience to Him.

Focus Scripture: Luke 9:1-6; Luke 10:1-4;16-20

Radical change is:

becoming comfortable living by His character rather than by my own competence.
knowing He schedules a time to test me on what He's taught me to show that He trusts me and I can trust Him.
making it a priority to be the most hopeful person in the most hopeless situation.
experiencing rejection without it becoming a source of distraction from what God has called me to do.
living for what God has finished and not from what I have fought to make happen.
choosing to have success based on God's will over defining success based on the world's way.

Everyone—believer and unbeliever alike—uses some measure of faith to make decisions and take action in everyday life. But the call to follow Jesus moves us beyond relying on our own strength, wisdom, and understanding as the foundation for a fulfilling life. Instead, we’re invited into a radical faith—a way of relating and responding to God that demonstrates trust beyond what is natural or comfortable.

Focus Scripture: John 20:24-29

Jesus 3 faith descriptions & conditions:

No faith Mark 4:40
Little faith Matthew 6:30
Great faith Matthew 8:10

The call to radical faith is to act like God is:

Good
Real
Eternal
Able
True

As creator, sustainer & finisher of all things, God is the only one who can demand our total unrestricted and undivided love. Our investment into a relationship with Him beyond our personal comfort & satisfaction. Because His expectation of love is based on creative capacity; He built us first for Himself. It’s a love expression so incomparable to any earthly relationship – it’s just radical.

Focus Scripture: Luke 14:25-27; Mark 12:28-30

The call to a radical love for God is surrendering my:

Passion to God "Love the Lord your God with all your HEART"
Motivation to God "Love the Lord your God with all your SOUL"
Consideration to God "Love the Lord your God with all your MIND"
Devotion to God "Love the Lord your God with all your STRENGTH"

Everything God has purposed for us – to change & bless us requires us to go counter to cultural norms. A life our culture will deem radical because it doesn’t move in sync with the majority or is governed by popularity of people. BUT… God has called us to a position & perspective that’s so foreign to our comfort, control & comprehension; Jesus used two words to explain it: Follow Me!

Focus Scripture: Matthew 4:18-20

The call to a radical life is embracing:

disruption to my schedule
invitation to the unknown
transformation into something greater

THE BIG DISCOVERY

My best life doesn't come by what I'm willing to fight for, but the life I'm willing to follow God into!

A powerful truth we learn from reading scriptures is the importance God places on names of people, locations & experiences. Especially, names given to individuals to the point He would command & change names to ensure they properly reflected His reality. A name was more than a trend or tradition; but an opportunity when mentioned to establish the fullness of heaven on earth.

Focus Scripture: Matthew 1:18-22

The gift of His name is the gift of:

Initiation: God comes to me
Identification: God understands me
Adoption: God makes me His own
Manifestation: God lives in me

A powerful truth we learn from Scripture is the importance God places on names—of people, places, and experiences.

A powerful truth we learn from Scripture is the weight God places on names—of people, places, and even life-defining moments. Throughout the Bible, God doesn’t treat names as casual trends or cultural traditions. He assigns them with intention, and at times even changes them, ensuring they fully reflect His reality and purpose. In God’s hands, a name becomes more than an identifier; it becomes an opportunity—every time it’s spoken—to establish the fullness of heaven on earth.

Focus Scriptures: Matthew 1:20-23, Luke 1:30-32, Philippians 2:9-11

Based on our relationship with a "name", it causes our:

Emotional response
Mental response
Practical response
Spiritual response

His name reveals God's:

There are seasons in our lives when the enemy goes overboard with pressure and problems—moments that feel less like normal life and more like an attack meant to overwhelm us with hopelessness.

In our lives, God works from the inside out — while the enemy works from the outside in. He tries to use trouble, trials, and tragedy to pull us into a state of chaos and confusion within.

Everything doesn’t have to bother us or steal our excitement for life!

Our lives are experienced in times & seasons; with us having specific prayers & desires in each one. Which is why the enemy tries to convince us that our waiting process is being wasted – to live with defeat; disappointment & discouragement.

Focus scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1; John 5:1-9

How to go from waiting on it, to walking in it:

Resolve to keep doing what is right

Every student expects to take quizzes and tests throughout a semester. But none compare to the one that pulls together everything taught that year: the Final Exam. It often carries the most weight, with the power to significantly impact a student’s grade at the end of the year. Yet, when approached the right way, it doesn’t just measure what we’ve learned—it can redeem past shortcomings and propel us into the next level.

Focus scripture: Matthew 19:16-29

God will test me on my:

Question: Have I learned to ask God the most important question?
Conclusion: How did I come to know & believe this?
Affection: Is there anything I love more than God?
Expectation: Will I trust God with my life & future?

During a school season, we may encounter a subject we don’t fully or easily understood; not in a way we’re confident about making progress & promotion to the next level. SO… we may engage a tutor into our learning process. Someone who knows the subject better than us & what a teacher is trying to have us learn. They move us into clarity, consistency & confidence in growing.

Each of us has set our sights on goals we believe will bring true fulfillment and joy. We pray for them and work hard to reach them.

Only then will our efforts yield lasting joy and peace in our lives.

Hebrews reminds us that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. But how do we actually live that out in everyday life?

Focus Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-40

Faith is given to every believer in the salvation experience. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Faith has a focal point - God (Hebrews 12:2)
Faith always drives us to a place of surrender (Matthew 6:33)
Faith is a spiritual gift of the Holy Spirit and it is a fruit of the spirit (1 Corinthians 12:9; Galatians 5:22)
Our faith may be tested at times Genesis 22:1-24;6:9-22

THE BIG DISCOVERY

Faith begins and ends with God. It is not just your ability to believe. It is your ability to believe in God, based on his terms, conditions, principles and teachings. Faith is knowing He's in control and trusting Him for the outcome.

In this message, On the Road to Refuel: God's Word is our Fuel, Minister Samson reminds us that God's Word is more than spiritual food—it's daily fuel for our journey. Drawing from scriptures like Matthew 4:4 and Psalm 119:105, he unpacks how the Word sustains, reveals, and equips us. Just like a car’s dashboard alerts us to areas needing attention, God’s Word exposes what’s running low in our lives—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and more. It doesn't just fill us up; it gets to the heart of what’s going on and prepares us to respond with power. The Word of God is our fuel, our guide, and our defense.

THIS WEEK'S BIG DISCOVERY

The Word of God doesn't just fill me, it fuels me, searches me, and equips me for what's next.

Matthew 4:4

The Word of God as bread:
- The Word is not optional; it's essential daily spiritual nutrition
- Yesterday's meal doesn't always sustain today's hunger (or need)
- The Word fuels our faith and builds trust in God's sustaining power

Psalm 119:105

God's Word reveals what needs refueling and how to keep moving forward

Ephesians 6:17

When the Word of God refuels and reveals, it also equips you to respond - check your gauges!

THIS WEEK'S DEVELOPMENT

Take the Psalm 119 Challenge - explore the 8 Hebrew words used for God's Word. Look up one each day this week and reflect on what it reveals about how God speaks to you. (Law, Word, Judgements, Testimonies, Commandments, Statutes, Precepts and Promises)
Identify one gauge in your life that needs attention and invite God's Word to speak directly to it.

In our everyday walk with God, there are specific seasons when the enemy tries to lure us into passivity and apathy towards God. It’s not about broken fellowship but being less aware of our usefulness as being visible expressions of His invisible reality. So, it’s critical we know those actions that enable us to Stay Awake – remain fully available & accessible to walk out God’s best for us.

Focus Scripture: Ephesians 5:8-16

2 Common weapons used by the enemy:

seduction
sedation

How do I stay awake? I must:

Stay in the light
Seek His Will
Share the truth
Seize every moment

Our journey of spiritual growth isn’t just a matter of religious information or inspiration; but also illumination. We’re increased clarity – certainty of God’s will for and work in our lives. SO… God will intentionally; even unknowingly to us, use everything & everyone in our life to bring us out of “shadows” – whatever blocks or blurs us from confidently standing in the reality of His power.

Focus Scripture: John 9:18-25

3 people blockers in every season of life:

doubters
debaters
deniers

How do I come into my own? By embracing:

Unexplainable seasons of life
Uncontrollable actions of others
Unbelievable methods of God
Unquestionable conviction in God

One of God’s greatest priorities for lives is leading us into spiritual growth moments. These are often unavoidable & unexplainable life experiences; which on the surface can seem mainly about us living in discouragement or disappointment. BUT… the truth is, it’s a strategic time for our spiritual development!

Focus Scripture: Exodus 12:1-16;30-31

How to grow up by going through:

Remember God has a plan
- God's plan is to be followed by us, NOT figured out by us!
Revise my focus
- My focus matters, because my feelings will always follow my focus
Refuse to complain
- Complaining makes me play the role of victim, not get ready for victory
Redirect my faith to God
- At every red sea, we throw away our faith in God or we turn our faith to God

Big So What

We haven't completely crossed the red sea; until we're completely convinced to trust God.

This Week's Challenge:

Physical growth comes by time
Educational growth comes by learning
Spiritual growth comes through obedience

When life gets tough, I can choose:

Flight - run away or avoid encountering what is before me
Fight - assume a responsibility as if victory is based on my ability & resources
Freeze - get stuck like where I am by acting as if nothing is happening
Faith - act in accordance with God's instructions and directions no matter what they are

Instead, He provides guidance to ensure we aren’t easily distracted or discouraged as we pursue His will for our lives.

God desires to move in our lives in ways where the outcomes are so extraordinary, they seem completely disconnected from where we started. As a result, He calls us to more than just believing He can work things out; turn things around; but invites us to a daily expectation that He will do exceedingly, exceptionally & abundantly more than we could ever ask or imagine.

Focus Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10

Why do we need an Extreme Makeover?

Dead - Ephesians 2:1
Disobedient - Ephesians 2:2
Dominated - Ephesians 2:3

How does God make all things new?

New Life

One of the biggest reasons people do not follow Christ, or do not pursue their calling, is because they think they are not qualified or disqualified. God created you with a unique purpose, but if you spend your life living someone else's dream, you'll miss the fulfillment of your own. Shift your perspective, embrace God's purpose for you, and pursue it with everything you have!

God has made available a life which reflects the fullness of His potential in our lives. A life not based on our striving; but how much we clearly, convincingly and consistently hear His voice. Because whenever we hear His voice, there’s an inherent ability to believe & receive what we’re hearing. SO… we don’t live at the level we can handle, but the level we’re hearing God’s voice.

Scripture John 10:1-10

To develop spiritual hearing, I must:

Have time alone with God
Evaluate what I'm hearing
Avoid the wrong voices
Recognize God's voice is life

Big So What

The better my hearing (in God) is, the better my life (in God) will be.

Whenever we give gifts or presents, we reveal the significance an individual has in our lives. We know people hold different levels of intimacy & influence in our lives. So, in our relationship with God; our worship is an extension & expression of how much we value His presence – where we only worship in a way reflective of Him being immutable, unmatchable & incomparable; He’s God alone!

Worship that moves God & changes everything; I accept:

God's conclusion
God's location
God's vision
God's information

The Big So What:God doesn't just expect worship from my life, he also uses worship to change my life.

BUT… our recognition doesn’t always instantly yield a heart of full confidence we’re equipped to do what God has asked & assigned to us. If for no other reason, His plan for our lives transcends our ability to accomplish His will for us without confidence that only comes from trusting & obeying His word.

God created each of us as relational beings, and we can fully experience His promises and our potential through healthy relationships. However, these relationships don't form by accident; they require intentionality. We must learn how to build, maintain, and nurture them to live out God's best for us.

God designed each of us to be relational, and we can only experience the fullness of His promises and reach our potential through meaningful, healthy relationships. However, healthy relationships don't happen by chance; they require intentional effort. We must learn how to cultivate, build, and sustain them in order to live out God's best for our lives.

Jesus - The Center piece of my relationships, means I know that:

My relationships exist to reveal the character of God
My relationships are experienced within the boundaries of God
My relationships re-energized by my obedience to God
My relationsips are to encourage my change and growth in God

The Big So WhatHealthy relationships know a commitment to Jesus is a necessity, not an accessory

God created each of us to thrive in relationships, where the fullness of His promises and our potential can only be reached through meaningful, healthy connections. However, healthy relationships don’t happen by chance—they require intentional effort. We need to understand how to cultivate, nurture, and sustain them. It’s about putting the pieces together to experience God's best for our lives.

Exercising God's wisdom for healthy relationships requires me to:

Accept that healthy relationships are God's design
- God establishes what is healthy or unhealthy
- God created me for healthy relationships - but I must choose them
- God offers His power to cultivate healthy relationships
Ask for God's wisdom in my relationships
- Embrace humility
- Eliminate double-mindedness
- Expect help
Adjust my life to God's wisdom
- Regularly examine my relationships
- Consistently fill my life with God's Word
- Purposefully fill my life with people who love God's truth more than my feelings

The Big So What

How happy I am in life is connected to how healthy the relationships are in my life

Everything about us truly winning in life and in God is on the other side of any fear that influences us to play it safe. Where we make decisions & actions seemingly protect us from being discouraged, disappointed or defeated; but really take us out of position to win. So, it’s vital we develop the kind of wisdom, attitude & effort that feels the fear; but always plays to win!

Faith in God is never static or inactive—it’s always energetic, even when misdirected. Worry, for example, is faith in reverse, believing that things will turn out poorly. We are called to manage our faith in a way that showcases God’s faithfulness, allowing us to fully maximize our purpose and potential in Him.

In each of our lives, there are pivotal moments when God says it is time to bring us into a greater alignment with our true identity, authority & destiny on earth. This will require God to rewire us -- emotionally, mentally & spiritually disconnect us from previous outlooks & outcomes; whether good or bad, to connect us with the needed experience for our now, new & next.

How does God rewire my life?

Interruption - God will schedule life changes that's not on my schedule
Illustration - God is saying something about life through something in my life
Introduction - God talks about Himself so others can't make me doubt Him
Invitation - God is turning my place of opposition into a great opportunity

Big So What:Before God can rework my life, He must rewire my life!

Matthew 11:11-12

As a citizen, we should treasure and understand:

Authority
Kingdom economy

Our natural tendency craves immediate & instant fulfillment; but the dreams & desires God places in our hearts will come to pass slowly, steadily and surely. Vision is fulfilled through a specific & strategic process of exercising faith in God’s word, timing and ability. As a result, we must be committed to an expectation of celebration; fully knowing that – Things Are Coming Together!

1. Thoughts
2. Time

Resurrection isn’t just about 'coming back to life,' but also about 'rising up.' Because Adam’s sin in Genesis 3, the Garden Of Eden, didn’t just inherently cause spiritual death for humanity – disconnection; a downgrade & restriction in our ability to fully experience God’s best – just temporarily & momentarily. BUT… Jesus restores our rights to live at the level of God’s possibilities; truly, freely & fully – Live It Up!

To Live it Up, I must know that Jesus resurrection gives me:
1. Liberty
2. Intimacy
3. Vibrancy
4. Expectancy

Since Adam’s sin in Genesis, every person is inherently and instinctively born trying to have an identity independent of God’s lordship & leadership over our lives – an identity by positions, possessions & pleasures. But, God designed us where our best life is only possible by our visible daily lives serving as a reflection of His invisible reality – extension & expression of His promises, presence & power.

Kingdom Identity must be:
1. Recreated
2. Revealed
3. Received
4. Resolved

To fully embrace our citizenship in God’s Kingdom, we must be undoubtedly persuaded that we belong – in the Kingdom and in the family of God. Not only have our lives been redeemed, we are invited and accepted into an intimate relationship with our Lord. Understanding this position of belonging is a non-negotiable for resisting the lies of the enemy.

I know I belong, because:
1. I have been RESCUED
2. I have been INVITED
3. I have been ACCEPTED

To see everything from God's point of view, I must daily:
1. Renew my heart
2. Reevaluate my problems
3. Reset my focus

Once we start a relationship with God, we’re planted in a culture that’s foreign to our natural lives. Mainly, no longer living from the outside world to our inside world; we live from inside – out! It’s an awareness of God’s presence & influence. Though we don’t see Him, we live in the light of His reality. Our everyday life becomes an extension & expression of revealing His promises, provisions & power.

How to stay joyful:
1. Remember God has a purpose for my problem
2. Refuse to worry about what others think
3. Remain committed to God no matter what

Everywhere you go, there are problems – at home, at work, at school, in our communities, nation, and even in the church. What we don’t need are more PROBLEM ANNOUNCERS. The good news is, wherever there are problems, God has a solution – YOU ARE THE SOLUTION.

Many people simply move from one year to the next without taking the time to inquire about what is needed to have success & happiness in a new season. So, while there are many things we can do; every new season; new year comes with its own essentials. Specific attitudes & actions tailored to help us thrive no matter the conditions or contradictions to His promise – to maximize our “now & new!"

Specific attitudes & actions tailored to help us thrive no matter the conditions or contradictions to His promise – to maximize our “now & new!"

God has created and called each of us to live in such a way that goes beyond all rationalization & comprehension. He never desires us to live in the comfort of our feelings, facts & fears. Because it robs Him of the opportunity to be fully glorified in our lives; and for us to fully maximize our potential in Him. We’re designed to live like we’ve lost it – outside the realm of reason to manifest His best in us & for us.

From the beginning of time, God has used sound for an announcement and fulfillment of His presence, promises & power working in our lives. More importantly, each season of our journey with Him comes with its own distinct & unique sounds. Playing a vital role in helping us maximize what God is seeking to manifest in our lives; both for His glory and for our good.

When we hear the word family, many images and ideas come to mind. Because our view of family is often shaped by tradition, location & assumption – external & temporal traits. However, God calls us to understand that being family doesn’t begin in the natural, but from a spiritual perspective. It’s our revelation & recognition that our history & destiny STARTS with knowing the power of His blood.

It’s our revelation & recognition that our history & destiny STARTS with knowing the power of His blood.

We all will admit a willingness to live available and accessible for God to manifest His best through our life. But everything about us is incapable of being the source for His promises & our prayers coming to pass. It takes a source beyond our natural senses & abilities. Thus, the Holy Spirit is our power source for manifesting the fullness of God’s possibilities in our daily lives.

This series isn’t just another ‘relationship talk." But rather strategic teachings to truly encourage & equip us for experiencing meaningful relationships. We understand that we can’t have deep connections with everyone. HOWEVER, there are a few friendships & fellowships God will prompt us to cultivate as a vehicle to energize us through life’s various seasons. Like an anchor, they ground us in the soils of His purpose and our potential, feeding us the necessary nutrients for manifesting the fullness of His promises & our prayers. These become our Deep Connections.

Every relationship and friendship in our life impacts our emotions, expectations & expressions in life. As a result, it’s important to exercise the perspective on relationships that enable us to cultivate the kind of relationships and friendships that bring the best out of us. Most importantly, the best out of God’s promises IN my life… THROUGH my life…FOR my life.

In team sports, there are individuals who can turn the momentum of a game in their team’s favor on any given play. Everyone knows – it’s just a matter of time before their presence and influence is felt. However, being a playmaker isn’t restricted to playing sports. God has created each of us with playmaking abilities designed to ensure the success & victory --- not just for our lives, but everyone attached to us.

Words impact on us, negatively or positively; is mainly rooted not in what is said to us, but who said it to us. Because behind words (promise) is our knowledge of the person’s character & competence to make good on the promise. THEREFORE… when God gives us a word and makes a promise to us, we can be in full expectation of it happening for the simple fact, what He said is an extension of who He is!

Everything God desires to perform in our lives is beyond our comfort, control & comprehension -- outside the realm of us being logical and rational. NOT that we don’t use our minds, but our mind can’t be the stopping point for our expectation of God if we are to experience His fulfilled promises & answered prayers. We must be out of our mind – it’s only then, that our lives reflect the supernatural & extraordinary.

Our faith-confidence in God’s ability to manifest His promise in our lives is not static -- it is not fixed to one level of commitment or expression. But our faith is like a muscle that we are called to fully develop because each level of faith influences how much God’s promises are fulfilled & our prayers are answered. Therefore, we must know the key insights & practices that will develop our faith to its highest level.

It’s been said, “imitation is the greatest form of flattery”. Imitation shows how much we value their presence in our lives. And, we often do this to experience “life” like who we’re imitating. Likewise, it applies to our spiritual relationship with God; our Heavenly Father. He’s created us to model our lives after Him; where the more we imitate Him, the more we live life as He’s promised & made possible.

Everyone knows that life is full of changes – us making and reacting to daily life in this world. But there are pivotal seasons when God prompts us to decisions and directions that will forever change our lives. It’s a moment that goes deeper than just the normal and usual changes we tend to make. This is when all of our past, present & future intersect; and God helps us move into His best for our lives.

But there are pivotal seasons when God prompts us to decisions and directions that will forever change our lives. It’s a moment that goes deeper than just the normal and usual changes we tend to make. This is when all of our past, present & future all intersect and God helps us move into His best for our lives.

From birth, we’re informed and instructed to believe that our best life will be a result of human ability, perfect conditions & risky actions. And those tendencies do play a part, but it’s totally different when we’re cultivating our life in God. Everything He’s promised us is beyond our EFFORTS and MERITS. BUT, it’s possible because He’s made available what helps us live beyond our limitations and liabilities.

From birth, we’re informed and instructed to believe that our best life will be a result of human ability, perfect conditions & risky actions. And those tendencies do play a part, however, it’s totally different when we’re cultivating our life in God. Everything He has promised us is beyond our efforts and merits. But, it’s possible because He has made available what helps us live beyond our limitations and liabilities.

Many times we prematurely abandon our dreams, our hopes and our prayers because all of the natural signs point to us not having the ability to control or change the situation. We conclude that it’s over because we feel helpless and hopeless. BUT, it’s critical that we know -- that no matter how bad things look, or how bad we may feel, it’s NEVER over until what God has promised becomes a reality in our lives.

One of the enemy’s main tactics is to give us a distorted & disillusioned picture of God’s nearness in our lives. He wants us to misjudge, miscalculate or misread how close we are to our best opportunities & possibilities to radically change our lives by God’s presence. So, it’s key that we have the spiritual awareness that helps us maximize our chances to change when available to us.

It doesn’t matter what area of our lives it is – we’re all looking for the best ways to set ourselves up to win. Which is why it’s vital that we know our greatest opportunity at success in LIFE and in GOD isn’t really a matter of God’s presence in our lives, BUT God’s position in our lives. The more our starting point is influenced by God, the quicker & easier it is to experience His manifested promises & our prayers.

God’s call for us to grow deep isn’t just a spiritual mandate, rather it touches all areas of our lives. Nothing highlights this truth like our stewardship – the managing of God’s treasures and resources (i.e. time, health, relationships) AND, of all our responsibilities – financial stewardship best reveals our move to “the deep." As a window to our “true” beliefs, our financial attitude opens up God’s best to us!

One of the most pivotal insights & truths that God teaches us for experiencing the fullness of His power and our potential is that location does matter. Our accepting that, He has reserved manifestation of some promises and prayers to a specific place – physical, spiritual, emotional place… So, it’s vital that our faith and focus always moves to the place He works the best for His glory and our good – The DEEP!

We all live in an imperfect world – with a constant awareness of contradictions and oppositions to all that God promises us. Which tempts us to live down to the level of our fears, feelings & frustrations. However, God calls us to accept that His power is always available and accessible for our good. Prompting us to live with an expectation for His manifested best even at the worst times & seasons of our life.

Our initial perception – right or wrong, shapes our attitudes toward & actions towards a person. This makes it key that we have an accurate and authentic introduction about a person. Especially when it comes to our relationship with God. The more clear that are we are about WHO God is the more we are encouraged & excited to live the kind of life that manifests His reality in our daily lives – bringing out His best for us.

What does the bible teach us about how to treat the poor? This sermon provides a biblical prospective on how God wants us treat our poor brothers and sisters.

It’s been said that thankfulness (gratefulness) is the least; shortest & quickest emotion. In part, because many view thanksgiving only as reactive behavior; instead of seeing it as proactive, prescriptive & protective action against life’s troubles. THUS… God calls us to practice thanksgiving as a lifestyle; and recognizing that the more thanksgiving is our norm – the more we experience His breakthroughs.

From the beginning, the enemy’s sole focus is to mislead & misrepresent God’s promises to us -- to make us believe that everything God says to us…gives to us…and does for us is to limit us in life. And since we’re not born trusting of God, it’s key that we live beyond our natural senses & abilities. So, God gives us the Holy Spirit -- not to keep anything back from us, but to bring us into everything He has for us.

In every relationship, we have systemic practices and acts done based on a schedule or season. And our challenge is to not become listless in doing them – no sense of life or expectation for them to maximize the fruit of being connected. In our walk with God, there are 2 specific practices that when moved from a tradition to a revelation -- they manifest the fullness of His promise & our prayers!

Growth = the process of developing or maturing physically, mentally and spiritually.

There are 3 things that inhibit spiritual growth (fear, believing lies, & refusing to change) and there are 3 things that enhance spiritual growth (the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, & the love of God and His people).

"Just like no coach enters a game without a plan on how to win the game, no one enters into relationships and friendships without an idea (image) for them being successful. And, as the saying goes, “if we fail to plan, then we plan to fail," Therefore, God has provided a gameplan for our relational success. That, when fully followed, guarantees our win – the highest level of relational fulfillment & enjoyment."

Once a team is assembled every coach knows that there must be a definitive selection process by which a starting line up is formed -- players who give the team it’s best chance at winning. Likewise, from our circle of relationships (friendships) we must identify those who are our first and last line of defense against everything that opposes us from prospering & prevailing in God’s best for our lives.

Relationships were never designed to be one sided. Healthy relationships are even sided. The most successful teams recognize how well we draft determines how far we go. The same is for our friendships and relationships. Who is in your starting lineup?

We each will have moments in life where we struggle to make sense of what God is doing IN our lives, WITH our lives, and THROUGH our lives… as if there’s a disconnect between our prayers and God’s promise. But our not knowing His plan doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have a plan.

God’s plan includes working even when we don’t know what He’s doing to make things turn out for His glory & for our good.

When the enemy knows that he can’t directly draw us away from God’s promises, he will try to use our good intentions & deep compassion for others, against us. He hopes that their negative attitudes & destructive actions will cause us to turn away from and turn on God.

Therefore, it’s imperative that we know how to stay available & accessible for God to use us without letting our feelings of being used, rob us of God’s best.

The power of vision (sight) – naturally or spiritually is that it provokes us to fight, freeze or flight. And though God uses vision -- what we see, to increase our expectation for His best, the enemy uses our sight to trigger reactions & responses that hinder us in enjoying God’s best. No… we can’t change who & what we see, but God has made it possible to change how we see who & what we see.

From birth, each of us have positive and negative experiences. And the enemy focuses on using our negative experiences to trigger harmful emotions, expressions & expectations for enjoying life as God originally designed. Building our lives around our triggers; not His truth about us. BUT… God has made it possible for us to turn down and turn off our triggers in order to turn up His best in our lives.

Every promise from God and prayer to God, has a process of waiting for manifestation. And, because we never control the waiting time -- we’re tempted to allow anxiety or fear move us out of position for experiencing God’s blessings and breakthroughs. Wrongly thinking that nothing is changing or happening for our good. BUT, whenever God tells us to wait --- it will always be worth the wait.

Sometimes it is a challenge to enter into worship with God. Things we need to do to enter into worship

Every man (person) lives out a vision and version of themselves that they believe reflects them at their best. However, it’s often rooted in presumption, tradition, or just self-determination. But, to be the best man (person) we can be, it doesn’t come by our striving, but our submitting. The truest & greatest expression of who we are – The Best Man is a response to God’s reality in our lives!

My Capacity is my God-given ability to produce at the level I was created to produce. I have the capacity to handle What is on my plate now. If the capacity is not present it is not mine to handle.

You have the capacity to take what you have been given and increase it.

The enemy's main point of attack is really our mind – our perception and internalization of life. Which is why, winning and losing often has little to do with what happens around or outside of us but everything to do with what goes on inside of us. Making it critical that we remain unshakeable, even unchangeable about believing what God has placed in our heart will happen.

God will use a transforming moment in our lives to create momentum – real movement and excitement in our lives. BUT… we can’t stay in that moment forever – we must on from that Day, Place, or Location which birthed the momentum. As a result, we must discipline ourselves to habits that help us to preserve & prolong the momentum pass life’s contradictions & temptations, and to our best life.

Which is why, winning and losing often has little to do with what happens around or outside of us but everything to do with what goes on inside of us. Making it critical that we remain unshakeable, even unchangeable about believing what God has placed in our heart will happen. Our Mind Is Made Up!

“When we hear the word “momentum,” we must consider that we can’t spell momentum without spelling the word “moment.”

Our momentum springs from a moment in time — an event or experience that has so deeply transitioned or transformed us, that we’re left with & filled with real excitement -- and on an emotional, spiritual, and natural high — Causing us to begin strongly seeking & desperately desiring whatever is needed to preserve & prolong the MOMENT.”

God will give us special moments of experiencing His presence and power. Moments where we know that everything about us has changed. We’re excited about what God has started IN us and FOR us. BUT, God doesn’t give us these moments to be passive or inactive. Instead, they’re designed for us to build on and to maximize their ability to leverage us in faith, focus & fight for fulfilling His purpose for our us.

One of the enemy’s deceptive tactics is to convince us that Jesus’ resurrection was an isolated event – it only impacted and benefited Him. An untruth imprisoning us to life beneath the freshness and fullness of God’s possibilities. Because Jesus’ resurrection has personal, global & eternal significance. It ushered us into a new day; new ways of experiencing God, making His best our everyday reality in life.

God’s purpose for our lives is always beyond our ability do it on our own – it requires God’s help. He knows that we’re prone to being delayed or distracted by our fears, friends, feelings & frustrations.

As a result, He will use various conditions and actions to move us into His purpose for our lives. We are never able to fully stop at places of confusion or celebration, only the place of total obedience to His purpose.

God has entrusted and empowered us with the responsibility of determining how effective His word works in our lives. Sadly, the enemy has deceived many people into thinking a lack of answered prayers or fulfilled promises is due to an inability with God. When the truth is, it’s our responsibility to develop the inner condition that allows His promise to produce manifested and maximized results.

Most people are convinced of the truth that God’s will leads to our BEST life. But our humanity makes it difficult to always be fully in the know of what He’s doing & how He’s working. However, God has provided some basic practices to give us a measure of real clarity and certainty about His will; make us confident in knowing He’s working to fulfill what He’s promised, and we’ve prayed - - our BEST life!

SERMON THEME: Most of us believe that God created us to live a good life. But our confusion & frustration from not always being clear on how His plan works. Making it critical that we have an accurate understanding of how His will works in our lives to manifest His plan (promises) and even our prayers. Because knowing how His will works in our lives helps us to be convinced that things are going to work out for our good.

The majority of people are convinced that God wants us to have a good life… be happy and be healthy. But it’s not knowing, having some sense of God’s plan leads to our confusion and frustration. However, the good news is God has revealed key practices that bring us into a measure of clarity and certainty about God’s process for bringing us into what He’s promised & we’ve prayed - - our BEST life!

Once we’re planted in what seems to be the worst times and worst places of our BEST life, the enemy’s goal is to disconnect our communication with God. To have us so distracted, distressed or discouraged that our communication with God is eliminated. Because our communication with God is an important way we receive the required faith & focus for thriving towards our BEST life at the worst time.

Each of us must accept that our BEST life will not always happen in right conditions or locations. But, often in what seems to be at the worst time, in the worst place & even with the worst people. Thus, it’s key that we recognize our primary fight will be an issue of worship. Because it’s the way we worship is that activates God’s promises and ignites our faith to thrive in an unlikely place for our BEST life.

Many people base living their best life on either conditions or locations. Which makes life very frustrating because we’re never truly able to always control either of them. As a result, it’s important for us to fully exercise those necessary perspectives and practices that enable us to live our best life – NO matter where we find ourselves in life or what we’re facing in life. Our best life is always happening.

God designed each of us with a capacity to live at the level of His power and promise. And He will intentionally bring us into seasons of opportunity to seize life as He’s made available and accessible. Often by challenging our current or present reality. Because… our best life is never found on the level of our effort, excuses, emotions & environment – BUT our willingness to fully apply ourselves to His Word!

God created us to experience a life that reflects the fullness of His possibilities & opportunities -- no lid or limit. By not following our fears, failures, figures, or familiarities – but Follow The Leader, Jesus! And this can be challenging due to our natural tendency for wanting to follow on our own terms. BUT, if we’re to manifest everything God has promised and we’ve prayed, then we must follow on His terms.

God created and called us to a life where His power and promises are experienced free from conditions or constrictions – NO CAP, lid or limit.

However, this life doesn’t come by force – our drive & determination. But rather, our following of God; our continual faith in and focus on Him. Where we’re led into the life from Him that is for us --- the life He’s promised, and we’ve prayed to experience.

Our God created and called us to a life where His power and promises are experienced free from conditions or constrictions – NO CAP; lid or limit. As a result, we must discipline ourselves to resist anything or anyone that contradicts; or constrains the level of life God has commanded us to manifest.

Every gift we give or receive reflects the giver’s motivation, affection, and perception towards the recipient (receiver). There’s always meaning behind giving gifts. So, in celebrating Jesus’ birth; God’s gift to us, it shows the depth of significance & importance we have in God’s eyes. He gives us a gift that comes with an opportunity for us to live at the level of the gift He’s given us - - our best life with Him.

One of the most essential skills for enjoyment and fulfillment in our various relationships is communication – the effective ability or opportunity to clearly share what we’re feeling or sensing. But there are seasons where we’re at a loss for words in trying to explain – define & describe what God doing in our lives. Yet, when we don’t have the best words to say; He’s still doing His best work!

Parable of the Talents. If you are unfamiliar with the parable of the talents, it’s found in Matthew 25:14-30. In summary, a master gave three of his servants five, two, and one talent based on what they could handle. The servants that were given five and two doubled their talents and were rewarded by the master. On the other hand, the servant that was given one didn’t do anything with it. As a result, his one talent was taken away and given to the servant that started with five.

God's investment has a lot of value! Develop it!

Once we’re committed to Living Above SEE Level – seeing our life through God’s possibilities, the enemy specifically attacks our expectation IN God and OF God. Knowing that, mismanaged expectations will hinder or halt God’s blessings.

But, the more we manage our expectations, we’re fully established & positioned for experiencing God’s best in every area of our lives.

How we “see” our world – everything we encounter within our daily routines, relationships & responsibilities shapes our experiences in LIFE and in GOD.

We see our world through a FEAR point of view making us overwhelmed or a FAITH point of view which makes us overcomers.

But in order to have a faith perspective, His “word” must be the center of our “world” for us to live above SEE level!

If we mainly live by what we see in the natural (normal), it yields deep discouragement & resentment. How we “see” shapes our experiences in LIFE and in GOD. So, if we live by our faith in God, our lives exceed all things normal and natural – reflecting the fullness of His power & promises.

This new series, "Living above See Level," is designed to encourage and equip us in seeing through the lens of God’s power & potential.

Focus Scripture(s): 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, 16–18

One of the greatest truths that we must always remember is that while God’s power is accessible & available to every person, He cannot be pressured into doing anything.

Instead, He has promised to solely respond to the presence and practice of what releases His power – FAITH. Our condition doesn’t trigger the change, but our faith overrides and overcomes what opposes His manifested best in our lives.

Statistics show that most Americans believe in the Resurrection of Jesus, but do not understand it’s significance. As we look at Matthew 28, we will identify our God given mandate and use it to bridge the gap between information and application from this historic and life changing event.

In life, we’re almost guaranteed to have unfortunate and unusual experiences that disrupts & disassembles our lives to pieces – to bare bones. And these types of events leave us wondering IF… HOW… and WHEN… things ever come together for us in a way that we’re once again living with stability. But God specializes in strategically moving in ways of bringing us back to wholeness in LIFE & in GOD.

Once our life & faith has been unlocked by God’s grace – supernatural enabling, empowering ability to live as He’s called, the enemy will try to “add” works & weights that limit us from being fully free. BUT, we must discipline ourselves to the beliefs & behaviors that keep us totally free.

Our freedom must be protected – and the more we protect our freedom, the more we can maximize His promises.

Our natural default in response to Adam’s sin is thinking we must be the originator of our own happiness & success. A subtle unwise & unhealthy belief that our best life starts with our performance, which locks our faith because life is beyond our control and comprehension. When the truth is, God has designed us where our best life starts with our acceptance – response to His presence and promises.

Everything God has promised us is only realized and materialized outside the realm of our control and comprehension, it’s only – BY FAITH. As a result, it’s critical that we know how to operate our lives by faith in God. And God has provided examples for our encouragement – for us to see how to walk BY faith and IN faith – the kind of lifestyle that will activate God’s best in every area of our lives.

For the last 15yrs, one of the most effective businesses has been: Disaster Recovery! The focus of helping nations, communities & individuals rebuild after catastrophic experiences. Because none of us are exempt from experiences that totally disrupts & disassembles our lives to bare bones -- in pieces. BUT… God specializes in strategically moving in ways of bringing us back to wholeness in LIFE & in GOD.

Each of us can identify times in our lives when we struggled to believe at the level that would manifest God’s promises & our prayer in our lives. Our faith is stuck, paralyzing us in our present condition due to discouragement or disappointment. However, God will strategically use problems to unlock our faith; liberate our faith for believing Him beyond our perceived dead-ends & dead-lines.

And God has provided examples for our encouragement – for us to see how to walk BY faith and IN faith – the kind of lifestyle that will activate God’s best in every area of our lives.

Our walk with God is based on a spiritual foundation -- EVERYTHING He has promised, purposed & planned for us is only realized outside of realm of our control & comprehension. So, we must engage with and experience God in a way that removes dependence on our ability, ingenuity, or familiarity with anything. Thus, we relate to God on an invisible, real conviction about God’s faithfulness & goodness.

Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites,[b] the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.

From the beginning, the enemy’s goal is to bring us into a false sense of security, identity, and certainty. Trying to convince us to live independent of deep confidence in & obedience to God. So, while this may look like freedom (liberty), we’re enslaved & entrapped to a life beneath God’s best. But God provides a clear picture of True Freedom for experiencing His best in our lives – it looks like: TRUTH!

God will lead each of us to pivotal life seasons where we must definitively and decisively take a stand on our position in God. It’s not that we’ve misrepresented or mismanaged our lives; but at this moment, we’re surrounded by proof of His goodness in our lives. As a result, we use this opportunity to show that WHAT we have… WHERE we are is because of our submission to God & expectation of God!

The significance of words can never be overstated. They not only help us establish definitions & descriptions. But they create our expectations – help us know what to expect from People, Life & God. Because thru the power of words we make possible everything we believe is available and accessible to us by God’s promises. We bring into view the kind of life we’re created to manifest & have as our reality.

Each of us knows what it is to have great enthusiasm or excitement when we start making real changes for the better in our lives. Then see our elation diminished or discouraged by everyday living; tempted to lose our change. And this is our challenge, to “Keep The Change” - - persist in the practices we know are necessary for manifesting God’s blessings & breakthroughs to fullest degree in our lives.

Then see our elation diminished or discouraged by everyday living; tempted to lose our change. And this is our challenge, to “Keep The Change.” Persist in the practices we know are necessary for manifesting God’s blessings & breakthroughs to fullest degree in our lives.

Growing in love is something we must do if we want to grow as Christians.

One cannot arrive at their potential in a state of complacency and lackadaisical behavior. Complacency boarders on us being lazy taking little effort to move on from situations we have the power to move forward.

If find yourself becoming stagnant or complacent in your walk with the Lord, this is the message to redirect your focus and invigorate your passions.

Ecclesiastes 3 states, “To Everything there is a season”. If we can be certain of anything, it is that there are seasons to our life’s journey. And within these seasons, we will inevitably have moments where we are waiting on God and in God. We will find ourselves in extended periods of suspension or even grief as we await the fulfillment of the desires of our hearts. However, it is within these times that we are most challenged and privileged to exercise and strengthen our faith’s resolve.

A very insightful and helpful truth for manifesting God’s best in our lives is accepting that He doesn’t calls us to live from the place of standing – what we can force by our stressing & striving; but from the place of what He’s finished – concluded and completed by His power. God directs us to fully live from a place of confidence in knowing that He’s already finished what we’re trying to figure out.

Every company has a brand – the signs, symbols, sayings, or standards that distinctly identifies their product. Likewise, God has a brand; and it’s called: Holy Spirit! That, only thru His presence and influence working in our lives to experience and express life AT a level… ON a level… beyond the norm is God clearly recognized. Our visible lives become trophies and testimonies of His invisible reality.

THEME: A fruit of our experiencing God’s transformational and transitional resurrected power is that it radically changes our lives. Where the impact of His resurrected power goes beyond just one-day, and to the point of materializing a lifestyle that has no reference point to our own ability -- stressing or striving. Instead, our new life is fully revealing, maximizing God’s goodness & faithfulness thru our daily lives!

One of the fruits our experiencing God’s transformational and transitional power is an expression of life like we’ve NEVER materialized. An unused & unseen level of His reality that we have no prior point of reference. We’re no longer living in a way that reflects our own stressing or striving – limited abilities. Instead, our new life is fully revealing; maximizing God’s goodness & faithfulness thru our daily lives!

In our everyday life we encounter problems and pressures disrupt our rhythm in God. When things comes unexpectedly or surprisingly God will use that situation to make sure our faith is align with who He is.

It's a new thing.

It’s easy for us to establish a routine of our lives revolving around people, problems, or preferences. And it’s the way we arrange our daily life that shapes our feelings of discouragement or of fulfillment. SO…every time God brings us into a new season and new level, He requires us & reminds us of the essential way for operating and organizing our lives in the manner that maximizes His best for us.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (vs. 33)

In our relationship with God, we’re constantly being called and challenged to elevate in LIFE & in GOD. To experience God at a level - on a level we’ve never experienced. This often contradicts our natural tendency to strive for a permanent sense of security (comfort). BUT, God’s manifested blessings & breakthroughs are always on a new level of us exercising obedience to and confidence in His word.

Each of us is created with an appetite for love. But, over the course of time our pursuit of love can easily become distorted, disillusioned & discouraged. Adjusting our idea of love based on fears or frustrations. However, God has invited us to experience and express a kind of love that transcends our natural understanding for the express of purpose enabling us to live our best life; manifest His reality.

God doesn’t call us to create a plan but to cooperate in His plan & purpose.

Isaiah 43:1-2
Isaiah 46

Each of us have times in our lives where we’ve prayed for God to give us a fresh start. Knowing that a new beginning is a chance to experience life in a fresher and greater way. But this is a challenge for us because new beginnings mainly come AFTER our exhaustion & frustration in life. So, we must fully exercise our faith by aligning with and acting on God’s promise to make His best for us our new reality.

Everyone loves the beginning or the ending. But we rarely enjoy the middle. That place: point where nothing exciting appears to be happening. However, it’s during this part of transition where we’re most unclear and uncertain; is our greatest time for discovery, creativity, and possibility if we manage our mood and mind. We can move closer to manifesting the full newness of all that God promises us!

Our journey in life and God is a constant progression of experiencing new seasons and stages. He’s NOT just a God of transformation – BUT a God of transition. Where, we’re regularly exiting what’s familiar and entering what’s unfamiliar. Thus, making it vital that we engage in the necessary attitudes & actions that allows us to maximize His present work and will of God for our lives. His Best – The NEW!

We’ve all experienced times when our life was filled with more questions than explanations and answers from God. We’re not confident in both; “WHYIt Happened” or “WHATS’s Next”. And in seasons like this, instead of focusing on what we don’t know; it’s key that we build our confidence and conviction on the truths we DO KNOW concerning God’s promises & presence in our lives to move forward in life

God never wastes any season in our lives. And while this can easily be accepted regarding our glad & good times. It’s key when we experience challenging seasons & times. That, no matter the level of disruption, distraction, and discouragement it causes in our lives. God always enables us to leave our most challenging seasons better equipped to live out His best for our lives.

If we’re honest, there’s little debating in Christmas being the most anticipated holiday time & season of the year. Impacting our financial, social, and spiritual life more than any other holiday. A time of the year that tends to awaken the best out of ourselves…out of others… and the best out of God. Thus, we’re ultimately encouraged in our emotions & expectations because of this time of the year.

Tune in as we talk about what makes Christmas time so wonderful!

When we’ve experienced a long season of wondering and wanting for a sense of true security (stability). It can impair our vision – blinds and blurs us to properly discerning when God is bringing us into manifestation. Because we’re influenced more by our Fears, Frustrations, or Failures instead of His promises and presence. As a result, God initiates the kind of encounter with Him that adjusts and aligns our perspective to His point of view. An outlook of breakthrough and blessings manifesting in our lives!

Focus Scripture: Joshua 5:13 – 6:2

When Life Gets Messy......How should we respond?

Main text: Romans 13

God’s Solution
God’s season
God’s standard

Each of us will encounter pivotal moments or seasons where our starting level of faith is on the line. But we must discipline ourselves to NOT reduce or revise our expectation for God’s best; and retain our faith at the level that initially motivated us to ask for God’s divine intervention. Because sometimes, blessings and breakthroughs come if we simply “Hold What We Got”. Where, we may not go UP in faith or DOWN in faith; but simply keep the faith that prompted us to expect the miracle in the first place.

A man with leprosy no only was healed by Jesus, but Jesus radically changed his life because he PRAISED God in a LOUD voice and WENT BACK to Jesus to THANK HIM. Thanksgiving is not a just a holiday; It's a LIFESTYLE.

Nothing happens for our good beyond our commitment to have the right kind of focus on God and in life. Our focus determines the level of blessing and breakthrough to manifest in our lives.

Matthew 14: 22-33

THEME: The object of our focus shapes our actions, motivations, and expectations. God will use our attitude and actions about making others the focus as a measuring gauge for determining how much He can bless our lives. Because it TESTS our patience, confidence & obedience in God. Our focus on others is an expression of our security in knowing that He will make good on His promises to us!

Scripture: Ruth 1 & 4:13 – 16

Self Care - Being Our Healthiest, Happiest, and Living the Best Life.

Helping others sometimes can really hurt us. So there are times where we have to pull back and focus on ourselves.

Our ability to stay in position for manifesting God’s best requires the right focus. Because the object of our focus shapes our actions, motivations, and expectations. We’re always going to be fit in God, as our focus is on God. So, the more our primary concentration and attention is on God; the more our lives will reflect the reality of His promises and possibilities.

Life is full of unavoidable problems and pressures. As a result, our lives are filled with moments that make us S.A.D. = Stressed, Anxious or Depressed. We don’t just have ‘bad’ days, but we have ‘sad’ days and times. But, God has provided solutions - a role for us in making sure our sad day & times don’t rob us from remaining buoyant, expectant of having His best manifest in our lives!

God often allows us to experience seasons of adversity and affliction -- where it seems like we're losing, to rewire the way, we measure our sense of success & happiness. Because we often define wins and losses by what makes us comfortable. But God defines our wins and losses by what converts us, what moves and motivates us in exercising more confidence IN...obedience TO and acceptance OF His will.

God never allows us to enter and experience a season of life that does not have the potential to make us stronger and more clear about His reality in our lives. But often, this lesson is rarely learned in seasons of luxury, but rather in seasons of adversity.

The kind of adversity comes with great loss. Maybe not physically, but a “loss” of controlling our schedules, finances, and resources. However, through the right practices, God knows that our losses can be leveraged into us living out His best beyond our dreams!

SCRIPTURE FOCUS:

Job 1: 1 – 22 / Job 42:1 – 10

God created us to be known by our following of Him. However, we don't follow "God," we follow our FAITH IN God to keep His promises.

Often our following of God will lead us into unfamiliar life arenas & areas.

The validation of our faith never happens in our SAFE & COMFORTABLE zones -- but through circumstances & with people that seemingly contradict what God has promised. Allowing us to be more easily and more readily known/identified by our FAITH IN GOD.

Scripture Focus: Acts 11:1-26

FAITH FORWARD - PART II

"We don't just follow "God," but we follow our faith IN God --- and our confidence in His ability to keep and make good on His promises.

A key practice of our faith expression is WORSHIP. Through our worshipping of God, our faith becomes properly aligned to cooperate with God's direction for our lives.

So, when we worship, it inherently MAGNIFIES and MAXIMIZES our FAITH to take the necessary steps that move us to the next level of experiencing God's best -- manifesting His promises and our prayers in our daily lives."

God has given us faith as the instrument to navigate our lives towards the manifestation of His promises and our prayers. Meaning, we don’t just follow “God," but we follow our faith in God -- our confidence is in His ability to keep His word and to make good on His word.

The more we allow our faith in God to direct us faith forward, our lives express the fulness of His blessings & breakthroughs.

Many of us work hard to establish a level of normality & predictability in life. However, God never called us to live in a predictable way. Thus, there are pivotal seasons where He will often inject Himself shockingly into our lives.

It’s not the enemy. It’s not because we’ve failed. And It’s not to discourage us. Instead, He is bringing us into a greater alignment & agreement for His creative plans and purpose for our lives.

Whether it's the fear of failure, fear of making the wrong decision, or fear of losing a job. Life involves facing our fears.

But God has equipped us to overcome our fears. Because fear blinds us to our real future in God. And by facing our fears, the blessings and breakthroughs that He has promised become our reality.

Our everyday life can easily find us carrying a load of weights, worries, and works that yield much weariness and heaviness.

But God invites us daily to unload this unbearable load from our shoulders of limited strength to His shoulders of supremacy and sovereignty.

Because we are at our best in LIFE & in GOD when we're not living from stress, but from a relaxed, refreshed and renewed point of view.

Often everyday living and going about our business has the capacity of reminding us of our humanity --- our own fragility. We experience a weariness and heaviness that impairs our ability to enjoy life & God.

As a result, it becomes imperative that we ride ourselves of these weights, worries and works for the express purpose to experience the freshness and newness God has made available to us.
