For this second installment of Steadfastness, Pastor Phil reminds us that Steadfastness anchors us amidst life’s storms, inspired by Christ’s unwavering love and faithfulness.

This virtue shines not in comfort but through trials, when faith and perseverance are tested (James 1:3-4). To be steadfast is to resist being swayed by life’s pressures, holding firm to our faith like an anchor for the soul (Hebrews 6:19). As we fix our eyes on the steadfastness of Christ, we are called to reflect His constancy, remaining rooted in hope, active in love, and firm in purpose.For more information go to c3tuggerah.org.au

When we position ourselves towards God in every area of our life, God can work through us. Unlike the people in the 400 years of silence between Micah and Matthew, who let complacency and worldliness creep in and did not recognise Christ when he came. May we believe again and be filled with faith.

One of the essential keys to living life to the full and experiencing the blessed life is to understand forgiveness. What it isn't, what it is and what we are supposed to do with it are explored in this message.
It is at the doorstep of Humility that our Blessed Life begins. 'Blesses are the poor in Spirit.' Humility which aligns and release us to experience the incredible Grace of God. Through this Grace we have NOW access because of HIM to a Blessed Life. Which through the eyes of Psalm 23 is filled with peace, promise and favour.
Our special guest speaker, Heidi Wysman, shared the real meaning of a blessed life, in such a raw, emotional and powerful way. This is a must listen message!
In this day and age, many non religious people look at Christianity in such a negative light. Christians hate the gays, never leave a child alone with a priest and all they want is your money - are just some of the thoughts floating around people's minds when they think about Christianity. These thoughts have sadly been justified by the few but it is our goal to shift our cultures perception on what it is to be a Christian. The only way in which this is possible is by living what the bible calls "The most excellent way".
Are we too busy to pray? Are we beat up by life, always trying to keep up? God says we are the head and not the tail. Even Jesus withdrew from the crowds to pray. Prayer is the key to unlocking His will in your life!
Blessing is the internal spiritual condition that Jesus made available to you. Everything that is true about Jesus right now is true about you. Blessing isn't earned but instead it is about understanding who you are.

In this powerful and emotional message by Ps Luke Boyd, he shares the truth of how Jesus came to earth in the flesh, to experience the totality of what it was like to be human.

n this inspirational and insightful message, Andrew Flaxman gives us 5 key points: Pray, Dream, Faith, Believe, Speak. He tells us that as we speak our words, we create our world, and that our faith is the evidence of our dreams. It is easily forgotten how many promises and advantages we have as believers - we need to stop looking down, and start looking up. This is a fantastic message to lift your spirits and create a change in your life.
As soon as you give, you set a principal. You have planted a seed that will grow your harvest. This giving message by Cam Harvey is such a simple message about how God wants you to be blessed, and live abundantly.
Ps Luke Boyd shares a simple and poignant message about Vision, which is jam-packed with humour and wit. He helps us understand that Vision is the ability to see something that is not yet present, and good vision has strategies and plans. Personal vision is to see a way in which we are not living, and sets a goal to grow towards our best life. And what is the ultimate goal and vision for you life? Why don’t you listen and find out.
God didn’t create you to be spectator, he planned you to run the race. He has planned your destiny, and will help you find it. Pastor Phil explores Destiny and teaches us how we come to church to have our eyes opened, to see our preferred future, and how we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
Pastor Phil shares a message about how being called to greatness is making the greatest possible difference with the rest of your life. When you became saved, everything changed. You are called to live so much more than an ordinary life. Your life matters, you have a future and a hope. Things of the material world will never bring long term fulfilment, but engaging in the eternal value of the church and finding your destiny will make a difference. This is a great message as a prelude to Vision Sunday about starting off 2016 called to greatness with a vision and a hope. Exodus 3:1-10
Luke Boyd brings us this amazing message about how God IS love, therefore he can't NOT love us.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- (Ephesians 2:8)
• Life is about choice • Freedom will come when you: • Hear God’s Word- Believe God’s Word- Act on God’s Word. = God’s Word reveals who He is, what He has done for us in Jesus and what He wants of us- We have to choose whether to obey or disobey, to believe or contradict what He says. –= Faith is a matter of choice Rom 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. (NIV)
Faith is not trying to believe something uncertain or even impossible “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” Hebrews 11:1 NIV When faith operates the impossible becomes possible. Let’s talk about Faith and Grace= as a foundation for Christian living. Rom 5:21 so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (NIV)
Our salvation comes as a gift of God’s grace, but it can only be appropriated by the human response of faith. =To understand the process of salvation, we must understand these two words. = faith and Grace.
Ps Julie encourages us that the next wave of God will be a revival of love. We need God to pour His love out on us..The church.... so that are able see others as He sees them... Through eyes of Love.
Visiting C3 Tuggerah, Mark Saundercock a Pastor at C3 Oxford Falls, brings an inspiring (and very humorous) message about how to start off the new year right, by putting Christ as number 1.
As we celebrated our last Sunday service for this year - as we stood on the edge of a new year, it is a good time to look forward into the year that is soon to begin. It is also a good time for Gods people to take inventory of their walk with the Lord- we are challenged to retain some things, release some things and to remember some things - An Old Challenge For A New Year - (Colossians 3:1-4) - lets seek to make 2016 the best year of our lives for the glory of God
Joyful Joyful- We Adore You- God of Glory! Let's unwrap this God of Love - The Greatest Gift ever given to mankind. We need to receive God's love so we can truly love others as He loves us. Why does God love us as imperfect as we are? Because He wants to - It pleases Him. " Ephesians 1:5 Gods love is unconditional - it is based on Him, not us! Once your heart is filled with the awareness of God's love, you can begin to love Him in return and love others. "we love Him because He First loved us" (1 John 4:19) - Everyone desires to be loved and accepted - let it flow to others.
The father sent His son to the earth to represent Him. To reveal His nature. To demonstrate His love. He walked among us. He met the needs of the people. He modeled for us the two greatest commandments.. Love God ..Love people
The results were assured. Peter never flinched. He never doubted. I don’t believe that He hesitated for a moment. He told the lame man to "rise up and walk."
It would have been an absolute disaster to Peter and John if that man remained lame. But Peter knew the results were assured. He knew he had the compassion. He knew that he was in obedience. He knew he had the right source ("In the name of Jesus"). He knew that he had the ability.
The reason that many Christians doubt and fail to receive the ability to be a blessing to others is because their lives are not in obedience to Christ.
Stacey Campbell is a prophetic voice who visited c3 Tuggerah with her husband Wes. She shares an emotional and powerful message that you simply cannot miss. Sit back, listen, and be touched.
International revivalists Jerame & Miranda Nelson visited C3 Tuggerah recently and shared some amazing testimonies, and awesome words from God. If you missed this night, this is a must-listen audio!
Visiting from Nairobi, Kenya, Pastor Jaime Ball shares a message with us on how God uniquely designed you and gave you gifts. These gifts are given to us so we can help others, and we can express Jesus Christ in us.
We have been talking about what we have in the Born Identity course: we have power, we have authority, we have gifts, but none of this matters, if we don't have love. There is no force greater than love. Evil must submit to it. Love never fails.
"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory" - 2 Corinthians 3:18. Ps Julie takes us on a journey of understanding our access to The Glory.
To live a life in Christ is to make the decision every day to live by Faith. God has given us many promises that we acquire by faith, but faith is progressive, it's a journey. We all hide our weaknesses and pretend that we are ok, but humility is the KEY to your faith. We need to humble ourselves and admit that we don't always have it all together.
Is God really welcome in every part of your life, or do you say Yes God, come into my life - but please, don't go into THAT part of my life, don't go into THAT room. We are called to make ourselves a living sacrifice to God, open up every door and every part of your life, and let Him in.
The Born Identity series we have been doing for some weeks now teaches us “Who We Are and What We Have In Christ” The Spirit of God is so wanting to establish the Spirit Filled church on the rock of revelation of “Christ in Us”- The “In Christ” Msg is paramount to know and understand.
We all have stuff that holds us back and weighs us down, what are you carrying in your bag? And what do you need to let go of? God wants to help pack your bag with the right stuff, and take you on an awesome adventure to find out who you are in Christ. So let's repack and start a new journey today.
In Christ we have Dominion. Ps julie shares stories of her own journey. 'What if the path you choose becomes a road The ground you take becomes your home. ' (Amanda Cook)
Be challenged with context and thankfulness with this fantastic giving message from Candice Boyd.
Pastor Phil Oldfield teaches us that we need to embrace our identity in Christ, and abandon any image of that is not from God. You are defined by God and God alone, and you have the power of the holy spirit within you. Listen as this great message explores how to embrace your identity in Christ.
Luke Boyd brings us this simple message of being who we were meant to be, in Christ. We remember where we came from, and the season we are in now, but need to realise that we are masterfully created by God to do good work. This is what we are created for. Just like a cheetah running full steam or an eagle soaring in the sky - there is nothing more beautiful than seeing you do the good works you were created to do.
This week we sharing 'Who we are in Christ'- again this takes Revelation knowledge: meaning Word & Spirit together impressing on our hearts & minds this true identity #InChrist. Who are we? When you put on the new life #InChrist you realize you are (Ephesians 4:17-5:20) = God's workmanship (Eph 2:10); The image of God in the earth (Gen 1:27); A New Creation (2 Cor 5:17): We are more than Overcomers (1 John 5:4); We are sons of God (Gal 3:26); We are kings ruling in this world (Rev 1:6); We are the glory of God (2 Cor 3:18; John 17:22); We are more than conquerors (Rom 8:37) #InChrist!
We are God's good seeds. When He looks at you he sees his good seed, no matter what you see in yourself. You are designed and purposed to bear fruit, but the enemy doesn't want you to be fruitful. But we are called to make a difference. God says the battle is not yours, it's mine. Trust in Him. It's all good. God is in control.
One of the most needed things among the body of Christ today is revelation knowledge of the Word of God.
When the knowledge of God’s Word enters our soulish minds through hearing or studying it, our spirits bear witness with the truth and impart wisdom, which is the ability to apply knowledge. This then becomes revelation knowledge, not just facts about God (you could program a computer with that), but the knowledge of God which has been divinely quickened in us by God through our born-again spirits
This explains why the Word of God seems to work for some people and not for others. On the surface it may appear that all knew the Word, but in truth, only those who overcame had the Word of God made alive on the inside of them through revelation knowledge. God’s Word works! And if we have the true revelation of God’s Word in our hearts, we will overcome the world.
How do we receive the Word of God being made alive and powerful in our lives as Hebrews 4:12 talks about? One important way is by meditating God’s Word. Too many times, we get so hungry to learn God’s Word that we don’t take sufficient time to let the mind of Christ in our spirit man give us a full disclosure of the power that is in those words. 2 Cor 5:17
, “For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power” (1 Cor. 4:20). You can have this revelation knowledge, for God has already given to you the “mind of Christ” (1 Cor. 2:16).
There has never been a more urgent time in history for the church to know our Identity in Christ. We are made in His image , He is the mirror we need to look in Ps Julie takes us a journey from the garden to the cross and beyond in search of out identity.
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
Ephesians 1:17 NIV
To know Him better .. We need a spirit of wisdom and revelation
The word “wisdom” in this verse is from the Greek word sophias. It is an old Greek word that was used to describe insight or wisdom not naturally attained. In other words, this is not natural human wisdom — this is special insight.
The word “revelation” is from the word apokalupsis. It refers to something that has been veiled or hidden for a long time and then suddenly, almost instantaneously, becomes clear and visible to the mind or eye.
It is like pulling the curtains out of the way so you can see what has always been just outside your window. The scene was always there for you to enjoy, but the curtains blocked your ability to see the real picture.
A shepherd guides, protects and provides for it's flock. God is our good, good father, and he is so generous. There is something powerful when we surrender to Him.
What is revelation knowledge? How do we know when we are receiving revelation knowledge or something else? Is there a subject worth knowing above all else? Together, we will explore these questions as Luke Boyd sheds some light on this weeks topic.
Embrace your identity in Christ. Abandon any image of yourself that is not from God. You stop accepting what others have said about you, and you start believing what God says about you. You are now identified with Christ and have the power of the Holy Spirit with you.
Jesus sees you, God has called you, Let the word of God be engrafted into you. It is important to know, remember, and live by your true identity in Christ. Looking to the future of your best life rather than the painful past. Future and hope perspective is important for a bright outlook.
The spirit of God is so wanting to establish the revelation of "Christ in Us" - This message is paramount to know and understand for these times.

Genesis 28 "“When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”” Genesis 28:16-17 NIV
God still wants us to thank Him for the gift of life in our children, and that's why a simple ceremony of dedication is practiced in the presence of God to acknowledge the gift of life. Just in the fact that we are celebrating and dedicating the birth of these children in God's presence before friends and family, tell us we have a bold courageous new generation of Christian families relying and trusting in God for all their needs and declaring all their trust and reliance in Him.
In this two part series, Pastor Phil Oldfield teaches us that each day is a gift from God. But with that gift comes responsibility. Learn about the mission of living in Christ and how to magnificently surrender to His calling

When we are born again we become a new creation. Your new identity from God liberates us to walk into a new future. But why do most of us feel like we haven't changed? Listen and find out why most people aren't walking in all that God has for them.
In his final message at c3 Tuggerah, Ps Garth Ball brings back the simple message of the Gospel, and asks us, "Will you be people who love God, and love people?".
From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (Ephesians 4:16 NIV)
We are excited to be only 7 weeks away from the commencement of our first church plant, C3 Church Nairobi. Here the heart behind this church as Ps Garth and Jaime share in this podcast. To finish, Ps Garth shares on Vision Builders and the key element of faith. Check this out and be encouraged to listen to voice of faith as you step out in this season, and silence the influence of fear, doubt and worry in your life. "Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” (Romans 4:18-22 NIV)
Pastor Julie shares insights into the journey of C3 Tuggerah since pioneering in 1996 and then casts vision for the coming year. God is building a home. He's using all of us - irrespective of how we got here - in what He is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now He's using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. Eph 2:19 (MSG)
A message about what we can learn from the relationships Jesus focused on during his time on earth.He was a man who gave time to the crowds, a man who mentored and invested time into his close followers, and of course, a man who always found time for His Father no matter how busy life got.
We were never meant to live our lives separated from community. Living our lives within the community structure is essential for us to be healthy in every way. We are better together!
Being a Christian is not just following the Master, seeking to live up to a standard of perfection, trying to be faithful and obedient, but rather allowing Him to live His life in us and through us.That’s what Pentecost is all about! The infilling/baptism of the Holy Spirit!
It's time to stand up in the sight of the Lord like never before and be the church - gathered, united and strong. We need to be medicine to a sick world. The church needs to be the church, gathered together supporting each other.
Prosperity is the most controversial subject in Christianity today. Why is that? Many are ignorant about the principles that produce prosperity and the source of financial blessings - our heavenly Father! He is a magnificent provider who truly cares for us.
Over the years we have gained such knowledge, in many instances technology has become our way of connecting. As a result the breakdown of real community has occurred. We, the church, are the hope as we model the greatest example of community according to the word of God.
Are women and men equal? How is a women unique from a man? What does the bible really teach about women? What are the purpose and design of the women? What is a woman’s potential? Ps Phil Shares profound insights from the bible and Dr Myles Munroe.
Psalm 86:11 Let every fibre of my being unite in Holy reverence to your name. If you are anything like me you long to worship God with your whole being but, like Paul, there is a war within us, between what we want to do and what we actually do. Listen to this raw preach as Ps Julie explains that it is His kindness that leads us to repentance and a revelation of the love of God that changes our hearts.
One of the most common impulses of genuine worship is to plead with your own soul, so we preach to ourselves Psalm 103: 1-2 "Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me" — not just some of me, not just half my heart, not just half my energy, not just half my mind, but all that is within me—bless his holy name." Come on, soul, where are you? Wake up! Look at what God has done! Look at what he is like!
God has freely given us access to all of his great benefits! However, the way we see ourselves and how we see God, greatly impact how effectively we lay hold of and flow in these great benefits of God.
Many rely upon their own abilities instead of the supernatural power of God. This spirit of self-sufficiency is a deadly trap. Because an uncommon harvest requires an uncommon provider God seemingly allows us to stay on struggle street, allowing crises after crises until we discover Him.This is one of the reasons many never receive their financial harvest. Let’s recognize the importance of God- become addicted to His Presence, dependent upon His counsel and you will discover financial success and breakthrough like you never imagined.
Our Anzac spirit is acknowledged powerfully this weekend. A legacy of courage, mateship, loyalty & sacrifice has been established in our young nation, allowing for our Australian identity and national heritage to compel us forward into a great destiny in God - to be "History Makers"! The Great Southland of the Holy Spirit (800 Light Horsemen) has been used in establishing the Nation of Israel, liberating the city Jerusalem, in the natural realm.What is possible with the Spirit filled church in the spiritual realm? First the natural then the spiritual (1 Cor 15:46) “Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." (Habakkuk 1:5 NIV) #c3churchhub #christian #church #christianity #anzac #centralcoastnsw #c3churchtuggerah #SeeYouInChurch
One of the wonderful benefits of being In Christ is having access to God. This benefit is always available, but is only enjoyed when we cultivate an atmosphere for it in our lives. Busy? Distracted? Check out this podcast to be inspired to draw near to God in a fresh way.
Psalm 103 Bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not His benefits. The English definition of "show your hand” is 'to allow people to know about intentions that you had previously kept secret: Keep the names of the team secret - don't show your hand until the day of the match'. In this informative inspiring message Ps Julie declares that this is the day of the match....God is showing His hand.
To fully see and experience all his benefits we must place ourselves into a position of gratitude.
In this Easter Sunday message Ra Toko shares his own journey of salvation and the resurrection power that is at work within him to change him into the man he is today.
Never before has any event impacted the world so much as the resurrection power of Christ Jesus. - What Jesus has done, cannot be undone. - With death now consumed by the power of His resurrection victory, His resurrection has powerfully changed everything. - During this sermon podcast, Ps Phil Oldfield shares with us the significance of Christ's incredible resurrection power, in particular he outlines six ways that this event benefits our lives.
In this very personal heart felt preach Ps Julie shares that without relationship with God through the sacrifice of Jesus life we are trying to write our own life story. Psalm 139 says "that all the days of my life are written in Gods book." God has already written our story. Hear her own story of "seeing the face of Jesus " as He saves her and sets her on a course of true destiny.
God is in control in our lives, but this is not always outside of us. One of the main ways God works in our lives, is through us - and He is sometimes silent in the process. We want answers from Him, but He is expecting us to use the resources we have been given in Christ! Check out this message for some tips on walking with God in these silent seasons.
God is in control of the universe. He is in control of the beginning and the end. But is He in control of my life? In this message Ps Julie asks us three questions: 1) Is God in control of your life? 2) How much control do you give Him? 3) How does it benefit the plan of God if I let go and let God?
After the Lord created the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1), he did not abandon the world to run on its own. Rather, he continues to be involved in the lives of his people and in the care of his creation. God is not like a master clock maker who fashioned the world, wound it up, and is not letting it slowly unwind on its own; instead, he is the loving Father who cares for what he has made. God’s continual care for his creation and his people is called, in doctrinal terms, his providence. Providence meaning Preservation, Provision his Government. He rules the world! God is sovereign, the events of history happen under his permissive will and oversight; at times he directly intervenes according to his redemptive purpose, but as we know God’s allowed himself to be limited in his supreme power and rule in this world.
Providence - Each of us as individuals were created by God for a purpose. God sees ahead and therefore, makes wise provision for his creation to assure the fulfillment of that purpose! God is in control - history has meaning; it is going somewhere, it's not a endless cycle.
There is a plan and a purpose ordained by God for your life. When your purpose is revealed to you it acts like a beacon that directs and influences all of your life's decisions. Your purpose will keep your path straight, and although the journey toward it may have its trials, understand that God is in control.
Every biblical doctrine is informed by the doctrine of God as the Creator of the heavens and the earth - it sets us apart from every other world religion. It doesn’t take too long when we realize that the world is not perfect, especially his people supposedly made in his image. His image to love, forgive, show mercy, be patient, to give, to worship and serve God. Is it out of control? Yes to a large degree! “1Jn 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. Revelations 12:9 “misleading the whole world astray”. But God has a plan and it’s coming to pass as the Greatest Story ever told – it includes you and I – freewill chooses His plan or ours.
Sometimes in the chaos of all that is going on in the world we can get dismayed. We ask questions about God's character and wonder where he is in the midst of it all. Sometimes we forget there is a grand story unfolding in the midst of the chaos. If we take a deeper look at the story we find there is an incredible energy moving us forward into a glorious new age where everything is made new.
There needs to come a time in your life when you realise you can't help God anymore. You just need to lay back in the loving arms of Abba. You need to breath out those perfect words " Abba Father - Abba daddy ... I belong to you." You need to be cradled in the loving arms of your Father and know that God is in control.
God reveals Himself in the bible as a gentle, forgiving Father who is closely involved in every detail of our lives. We need to know God as our Father in order to have a balanced view of Him. It is most important to learn to know who God really is, not who you think He is. "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him." (1 John 3:1 NIV)
Our mind is fed by knowledge, our body is fed by food, Our spirit sis fed by communion with God Pain in the soul is a result of a spirit that is starving.
When you come up here – you can see the magnificence of the church – you can see the splendor of His name - you can see your life included in Christ. Mic 4:2 Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths". Maybe God cannot and will not show your future until you are ready to “come up higher” (Rev. 4:1-2). Check out the heavenly view of the church as stated by Paul in the book of Ephesians.
Paul says the most excellent way in life is love. There are many avenues in which we can channel our love but if we don't take a balanced biblical approach we can come undone. In this message we seek to find the order of love.
When you come up here – you can see the magnificence of the church – you can see the splendor of His name - you can see your life included in Christ. Mic 4:2 Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths". Maybe God cannot and will not show your future until you are ready to “come up higher” (Rev. 4:1-2).
Our perspective of our mountains that we face are often times distorted.Our mountains seem huge and God seems small in comparison. But if a come up where He is and see Him as He is we will realize that He is the mountain above all other mountains.
As the bride of Christ, it is our privilege to get to know Christ in a real,intimate way. When you know someone’s ways, you know how they operate. When you know someone by their acts,you only know what you expect from them. "Come,let us go up to the mountain of the LORD..." Jesus is calling us...draw near to God and learn His ways,the nature of Who He is. God is always waiting for us to come into His presence. Don't hold back - ascend the mountain of the Lord!
In the film "the giver " the community had removed things that caused past mistakes in history.
Colour, emotions, love and memory.
Only two people were permitted to maintain these things "the giver " and the "receiver"
Do we as Christians still see in colour ? Do we still feel ? Do we still love? Do we remember ?
If we "receive "Jesus then we can be "givers"
The Holy Spirit is inviting us to enjoy intimacy with God by allowing us to experience the deep things of His heart.
There is an invitation right now- God is pursuing you, we need to respond. How? Passion and Faith
Two Revelations we need to ask for: to be "blessed to be a blessing" that is Passion and Faith. Pursue what you love. Passion is an incredible motivator. It fuels focus, resilience and perseverance.
"It's the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings to search it out." The Holy Spirit invites us into the glorious treasure hunt that is
Christianity-a stunning invitation into a life of hunger for God. 2Pe 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
Jud 1:20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
Jud 1:21 keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Jesus did not call us to sell a religion, but share a relationship. Here are 5 practical keys to witnessing in a real, loving and effective way.
The ability to overcoming negative circumstances in your life is vital to being an effective witness. It keeps your eyes on the needs of other people and is an attractive quality to those who see you handling challenges with faith.
Jesus paid the price for you to experience victory in your life. This is a year of victory for many people, but this victory needs to be laid hold of.
Giving that makes a difference is committed, regular and passionate. Here are some thoughts from our Young Adults leader on giving like this.
"Ever struggle sharing your faith? You're not alone! This vital part of your Christian walk doesn't have to be as hard as you think. Take the pressure off yourself as you make Jesus known in 2015. How? Like this."
Here with Us- Immanuel = meaning "God with Us"
Mat 1:23 "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us"). That name was first Given to Jesus by the Prophet Isaiah 700 years before His birth: Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
A Baby Changed Everything!
Church we have great opportunity to highlight our great hope in Christ this Christmas season- let's do that- Let's herald (Proclaim) His coming like the shepherds did - "Col 1:27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Col 1:28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. Col 1:29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me."
We need to keep celebrating the Birth, death and resurrection of Jesus our lord- Amen
Even the world is getting over the commercialism of Christmas - it's a drag for some - some are just celebrating the best they can knowing this is a special time to relax and enjoy a break- I believe there are more and more cynically asking "Where is this Prince of Peace in a world filled with so much trouble"? But the real Christmas message goes far deeper. . It answers all the great questions that plague the human race at this hour. . The Christmas message is relevant, revolutionary and reassuring to us today. . I believe it can be summed up in three words: a cradle, a cross and a crown. First, the cradle. On that first Christmas night, the Bible tells us about the angel coming to those fearful shepherds and saying, "Fear not, I bring you good news" (Cf. Luke 2:10).
In this podcast, Ps Garth encourages us to 'forget not' the benefits and blessings of being In Christ.
‘Christ in you, the hope of glory!’ Our hope then is not in ourselves, but in Christ who is willing and able to display His energy, His life and His character through us.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.’
In Luke 2 : 1-7 we read Luke's account of how God came to earth in the form of a baby in a stable, in "normal circumstances" through "normal people".
If God used normal people and normal circumstances might we dream.... Might we imagine ... that He might do it again through "normal" people like "You" like "Me"?
The lover of My Soul.
When Jesus said "what good will it be for someone to gain the whole world and lose his soul" He was trying to communicate the value of a human soul. In the soul detox message we can easily see the toxins that we accumulate in our souls but when we come to Jesus, the lover of our Souls, He restores our souls and crowns us as royalty
Culture Wars - Jesus Culture Vrs Worldly Culture - "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10-11 NIV)- Great Days - Church Arising!! worldwide -Isaiah 2:1-3 -Mountain of the Lord Arising!
SoulDetox Allows for: "Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” (Joshua 3:5 NIV)
Do you trust in the kindness of God? That He truly has the best in mind for you? This encouraging message shares the good news that He is and He does!
Everything that we allow into our minds, hearts, and lives - everything that we spend our time and money on - has an impact on how we grow, or don't grow, spiritually.

What's getting in the way of you becoming the person God created you to be? Ps Phil explores how we can neutralize damaging influences and embrace clean living in a "Soul Detox".
What's getting in the way of you becoming the person God created you to be? Ps Phil explores how we can neutralize damaging influences and embrace clean living in a "Soul Detox".
A healthy clean, forgiven, uncluttered, healed Heart is Paramount to victories living- if we fail to detox the soul, negative, self-destructive forces will continue to surface through the emotions, thoughts, decisions, and behavior - "Springing up" "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23 NIV) The heart is the center of a persons will, emotions and intellect (Mind) =Soul Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" (NKJV)
"A healthy heart is paramount to successful living - our Heart/Soul is susceptible to being corrupted daily by a toxic culture - Jesus Culture vrs worldly culture - there is a war over your heart from a young age from an unbelieving antichrist culture."
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23 NIV)
What does being free really mean? Is it licence to do whatever we please..using grace as our 'get out of jail free' card?
Ps Phil shares how we, through truth, in grace, can be truly set free to love others as Christ loves us...even loving our sometimes challenging relatives and close family members!
Detox diets are all the rage right now. I know first hand because I just finished one. It's true I feel great !!! Just as my body needs regular detoxing from the constant onslaught of chemicals and bad food choices so my soul needs regular detoxes as the Holy Spirit reveals to me what has crept into my soul. 3 John 1-2 Beloved I pray that you prosper in all things and be in health even as your soul prospers
Hollow love is not what God has in mind for us! No! He wants us to experience the richest, most perfect love and that simply requires freedom.
It is for freedom that Christ set us free! But this does not mean freedom to self destruct because 'we are covered by grace'. No, rather it is the true freedom to love, serve, worship God and to freely, passionately and diligently be a light to those that are still walking in the dark.

Worried about end times? You needn't be. Ps. Chris Gleeson shares with the heart of a father about the Holy Spirit and God's desires for us in end times for your lives.
God desires you to be free! "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17). Ps Phil shares more about the freedom we have in The Lord.
'I pray you would prosper, even as your soul prospers'. Ever wondered what the 'secret' to prospering in your life is? It's not a secret! The Bible tells us plainly! Ra shares from his own life, three Biblical things that will release you to prosper in life.
Real Freedom- how do you become a free person? Living in a free nation does not ensure personal freedom, nor does attending church. Being religious never made anyone free - Jesus made a huge statement at the start of His ministry- He proclaimed "Freedom" freedom from fear, guilt, shame the past and everything inbetween including ourselves - Freedom so we can love Him, ourselves and others - salvation is freedom in Christ - John 8:36 "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
Jesus Walks Through Walls.
In the last chapter of John we read the account of the disciples after the death , and reported resurrection of Jesus, hiding in a room with the door locked ... But ... Jesus Walks Through Walls
One of the main freedoms that the grace of God gives you is the freedom to choose to live for Christ. Before you met Christ, you were dead to Him and His power. Now, you are alive to Him and can live in fullness for His glory!
"The Just shall live by Faith"
Hab 2:4 ... "Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith." (NKJ)
Habakkuk 2:4 is one of the greatest declarations of faith to be found in all the Bible. It presents a contrast between those who are arrogantly rebellious, and those who are humbly submissive. . It reveals the striking difference between the proud and the just man. . The future belongs to the righteous, while the wicked have no future. . Wickedness carries with it the seeds of its own destruction (Psa 10:4; Pro 16:18). . Psa 10:4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. . Pro 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. . Pride, tyranny and evil cannot last, but the righteous shall live by faith (Hab 2:4).
In this immediate context, the pride of the Chaldeans would be their downfall, while the faithfulness of the righteous will be his salvation. Habakkuk says the Babylonians are self-centered and therefore doomed; the righteous are God-centered and therefore triumphant (Dan 4:30-32; Pro 3:5-6).
These are the days to make room for God, Trust Him, Believe in Him - Living with Daily faith receiving God's grace to live out God's will is what God is saying - Let's break it down:
A. Romans Stresses "The Just" Rom 1:16-17
B. Hebrews Stresses "Shall Live" Heb 10:36-39
C. Galatians Stresses "By Faith" Gal 3:10-14
Psa 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
=God will not withhold wisdom, creativity, good breaks, the right connections, strength, joy, or victory- But!
It’s no good believing: One day we will get a good job, One day we’ll start to feel better, One day we will get a breakthrough- and it’s good to have faith for the future and God will take care of us- but we can become so future minded, that we lose sight that God wants to do something great today
=Today God wants to show you His favour- Today God wants to bless you with Goodness
· He’s called the great I Am, not the Great I Was, or the Great I will be. =It’s always in the present · Some of you have faith for the future, but you got to have faith for right now!
The Scripture says:
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (KJV)
The faith that is alive and active is the faith that is Today
There has never been a more urgent time than this to hear God. In the midst of a great darkness there will always be a greater light.
Psalm 46 says that in the midst of chaos and war "He is God" He is with us and He will be exalted over the nations.
Solitude and silence, two things stolen from this generation need to be revisited.
Be still and know that I Am God
PART 2
Ever walked out the door and felt under dressed, plain or worse still, horribly ugly?
As women we face the battle of shame and other unbecoming garments that life and the enemy try to make us wear.
The wonderful news is, however, that God, in His wondrous glory, longs to clothe us with dignity, beauty, power and grace.
In her effervescent, signature style, children's author and pastor Kirrily Lowe shares her own journey of deliberately choosing to put on the clothing of righteousness, peace and love.
If you've ever struggled with feelings of low self worth, or if you've ever felt just plain ripped off from life - this message is for YOU!

To believe is to have confidence in our soul. This is good, but FAITH trusts at a far deeper level.
Ps Phil teaches us about perhaps his most favourite topic - faith. His message about the power, peace and assurance available to us when we choose to combine the two - the 'doing' of belief and the 'confidence' of faith, is DEFINITELY a life changing one!
Just try and listen to this message and NOT get stirred with joy deep inside!
God had placed a call on every one of our lives. There are three things that impact our faith when moving into this call. Our very own Kiwi preacher shares passionately about these three traps that can effectively sabotage our calling, and more importantly, what to do about them!
The Bible talks about two kinds of spirit; a spirit of faith (2 Cor 4:13) and a spirit of fear.
As famously modelled in the example of the 12 spies, 10 of those spies had an attitude of fear – they could only see the possible negative outcomes. Meanwhile Caleb and Joshua had a spirit and an attitude of faith – sure, they knew the challenges, but they still believed the best.
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
Ps Garth Ball shares with us how to wait on God, press in a little and cry out for Him to reveal the scriptures to us. In doing this we find incredible change and the realisation that we can’t function fruitfully without this dependance on and time with God, in His Word!.
In Mark chapter nine and Matthew seventeen we read the account of the transfiguration and then directly after, the healing of a demon possessed boy.
Come with Pastor Julie as she brings fresh insight into these accounts and the people that are involved and how they remind us of ourselves.
We were created for relationship
Transparent relationship.
Intimacy. =. In - to - me - you - see.
What if we lost everything, and all we had left was our love for God and our love for each other?
Gods love for us and ours for Him should be the foundation of our own identity and our ability to love others.
Luke 10:27 NIV
: " Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and,Love your neighbor as yourself.' "
It's easy to focus on what we don't have but as long as you think you're lacking in resources, finances, personality or talent it will keep you from God's best!
Mat 17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Even if its small faith, that's what allows the Creator of the universe to go to work!
Psalm 2 speaks of Gods sovereignty over the plans of man. With conflict and persecution on the rise it is important to remember that when Jesus walks into any situation, it changes!
He is the game - changer!
Are you considering your circumstances? Or are you considering your God?
He is called “the Great I Am.” God gave him a promise that his wife would have a child. How could Abraham have this unwavering faith when in the natural all the odds were against him?
The key to having unshakable faith is to not consider your circumstances, but to consider your God!
The bible mentions the heart over 700 times. In most cases Metaphorically speaking of the inner man. God is passionate about our hearts. He longs for us to have hearts that are guarded,giving, and purified He holds the key to unlock bondages and bring healing and freedom to our inner most being.
Because you’ve honoured God and lived with excellence and integrity, God will take you beyond your training, beyond your education, beyond your income, beyond where anyone in your family has gone before you.= This shift will put you at a place where you look back and say, “Wow, God- You have amazed me with Your Goodness.
Going through a storm? If you're not now, you will at some stage! But, no matter what storm you are going through you can stand firm in the knowledge that Jesus is ALWAYS in the boat with you and you WILL get to the other side!
God, our wonderful deliverer hasn’t changed! He delivered Israel out of the hands of the Egyptians, David from the Philistines and countless others from their oppressors in the O/T. - He is 'Able' to deliver You, from whatever it is you are facing today. Don’t ask for scraps of deliverance, expect God to come in like a flood, and BREAKTHROUGH for you today!
All seemed lost for Lazarus. He was dead. Jesus declared that He was going to ‘wake’ Lazarus. Jesus called him forth and he was restored to life! Perhaps YOU have dreams that have died - situations that have fallen into despair and hopelessness. Today, right NOW, Jesus is calling you to life, to awaken you to resurrection life not merely resuscitation!
The Lord will go before you! He will part ‘waters’ in your life so you can cross over into all that He has for you. It's time to see yourself through God’s eyes. Get the "God said" like Joshua and Caleb and you will Take your promised land!
Daring to believe that the best will happen for us, involves adopting a"Breakthrough" attitude, which paves the way to overcoming challenges and making room for increase. - Praying bold prayers and following God's plan beyond our circumstances, by doing this, you might think you're at the end of the line waiting for God's blessings. However just one encounter with God at you could find you the start of the line. -For example; You can be a lower position at your workplace, you're going along,being your best, honouring God, when suddenly things can change. - One good break, one idea, one person who likes you, and you look up and find yourself in a top job. - You didn't see it coming,thinking that it simply fell in place. - But what really happened? You experienced a shift - (A breakthrough)" -Just one touch of His favour, can place you fifty years ahead of where youthought you'd be.
There is a need in everywoman to be loved, to be seen, to be known, to be pursued, to be fought for, to be cherished. The Song of Songs holds the key to the secret garden of her heart.
The Breaker, our Messiah Christ walks amongst us, in the area of our confinement. We sense His presence. We know His voice. We sense His fragrance, He breaks us out of our confinements" It is time for breakthrough!
For many years, you have been faithful. Now is the time for breakthrough. - The God of the Breakthrough is going to show Himself strong to you! It is time to re-visit and knock on those once closed doors. It is time for breakthrough! (Baal Perazim).
Ps Phil shares about 'drawing the line in the sand' and the power of commitment in realising dreams and callings as we celebrate, as a church, our 18th birthday!
We've got a big announcement this week!! In today's podcast, Ps Garth shares about his recent missions trip to Africa, the vision of our church as we prepare to 'stretch out our tent pegs', why we do this and what we achieve corporately in giving....as he a Jaimie share their HUGE news!!!
During this weeks podcast sermon, Ps Phil Oldfield shares on how even the most challenging and discouraging of times may be identified as aspects of God's purpose developing our character. - With this in mind, its remarkable just how different our lives appear when we choose to life through God's perspective.
When we see Abraham’s life from God’s perspective and How he responded to God, it’s very interesting and helps us to understand how God works in and around our life. Then hopefully we also respond and enjoy His purposes manifested in us.
"Tell me your vision and I will tell you your future" - Dale Galloway. God given vision lifts us out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary! When God gets ahold of you, you cannot but leave that encounter with a fresh, inspired and holy vision for your life an those around you!
According to Proverbs 29:18, where there is no revelation (Vision), people cast off restraint (Perish). - But blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction. Vision helps you to follow God's plan, much like guide rails are designed to keep you on a bridge, safe from falling head long onto the rocks below. Without an overriding sense of purpose and mission in life, what is worth living for? "The way you see life is the way you will live your life- The way you see your future will be the way you live your future- if you see the potential, the possibilities and the exciting opportunities that are before you, then you will experience the blessings of that good vision. - If you see dead-ends, impossibilities, and a victimized life with no opportunity then you will experience the consequences of that bad vision.- If your vision is good, your life will be lit up with the blessing of God- if your vision is bad, you life will be darkened by the emptiness of the world."
Proverbs 4:25 Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. - According to Proverbs 4:26, give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:27 advises us, "Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
Ever wanted to plant a church, dig a well, educate a village, or spread the gospel into the farthest reaches of the world, but felt your small portion of help inadequate? Being a Vision Builder means we accomplish all these things TOGETHER!
Feeling a little messy? Feeling imperfect? We all do sometimes! - But did you know that Jesus loves us right where we are and He desires to use us to reach a hurting world, not when we're perfect but whilst we are on our journey!
You are unique! God made you that way to show different facets of His nature. He created and loves your personality. He sees potential, not problems and desires to use your unique and wonderful personality to reach those around you!
The Father's Love Ever felt like you've blown it? - Or are you so exhausted from 'towing the line' and working for God that you're feeling...well, a bit jaded? Most of us can identify with one or both of these issues,as illustrated in the beautiful story of The Prodigal Son.
If you have been feeling dry, challenged, lonely or maybe even a little sad in any way.? - If so, then this weeks sermon podcast is a "must listen". You see during this weeks podcast Luke Boyd intricately breaks down just how the very nature of God serves as a reminder of just how much He Loves You. Because ultimately, God is Love defined.
Love is what draws us to Christ. It is our love for Him that determines our closeness. During this weeks sermon podcast, Ps Phil Oldfield dives right into how we use our time and resources is infact a reflection of our love for Him. - It all proceeds from love and with this in mind, the "Greatest" is "Love".
There is a divine out pouring, a baptism of love being poured out upon the earth. God wants us to be filled with His unconditional love in every room of our hearts. Liquid love that permeates every fibre of our being.
The year 2014, its a year to understand the baptism of God's love. Throughout this time God is lovingly manifesting Himself to hearts. Realizing that the nature & character of God is love, He encourages us to love with his love by the power of His holy spirit- it's possible and happening! #c3churchtuggerah bless!!!
What dreams have you left behind, thinking they would never be answered? Do you suffer from the pain of broken relationships? We all have disappointments in our lifetime and Ps Greg French shares his testimony and that of his family, to illustrate the power of prayer and trust. This message will encourage and breathe life back into your, perhaps long forgotten, promises from God.
‘I will never leave you, nor forsake you’…but what do we do during our times of trial when God is silent? - How do we handle dreams that have remained unanswered and situations that seem not to change? Pastor Greg French uses the story of Elijah to share powerful truths about God and how our trust in Him will see us walk into our answers and miracles.
Christ is risen! During this weeks podcast, Ps Phil shares with never failing conviction and thankfulness, the heart of the gospel message. - That our beloved Lord and Saviour, Jesus, took our sins upon himself and was sacrificed so that we could have eternal life. To the joy of Christians everywhere, the story doesn't stop there! For our God is risen from the grave, in victory, power and with all authority on earth and in heaven! Hallelujah!
David, our guest speaker from Uganda, shares his raw and gritty testimony about how the blazing love of Christ saw him escape from the terror of Joseph Kony and the the LRA, overcome many adversities and eventually become a pastor and plant the first C3 church in Africa in 2001. David's gripping and heartfelt testimony is not to be missed.
Have you heard the "Great commission" shared in church on Sunday, and have thought "this week I'm going to bring someone" only to return to church the following week without a friend. If so, this message is for you. Be encouraged and inspired by this weeks message as we explore what and more importantly WHY God has called us to the salvation of the lost.
We all have scars inside and out. Our scars tell a story. Isaiah 53 tells the story of Jesus scars and then it says ... And by His stripes (scars) we are healed. Jesus is inviting you on a journey of healing ...Of release ...Of freedom. Now is the time to receive a baptism of unconditional love.
John 12:26 states; Whoever serves me must follow me and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honour the one who serves me.
To become involved in Gods' work you must be a servant, many scripture passages describe Jesus as God's Servant. He came as a servant to accomplish God's will in the redemption of humanity.
Paul described Jesus servant attitude and commended it to us in this way: (Php 2:5) Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. (Php 2:6) who, being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.
(Php 2:7)But made himself nothing,taking the very nature of a servant being made in human likeness. (Php 2:8)Being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!
We are to develop the servant attitude of Christ which calls for humility and obedience. - In His instructions to His disciples about servanthood, Jesus (Son of Man) described His own role of service:
(Mat 20:27)Whoever wants to be first must be your slave - (Mat 20:28) just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Jesus also told us about our relationship to Him, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you" (John 20:21) - When you respond to God's call to salvation, you join Him in His mission of world redemption. - The call to salvation is a call to be on mission with Him. In this new relationship you move into a servant role with God as your Lord and Master.
Here at C3 Tuggerah we have fully embraced the 2020 vision - 1000 churches worldwide by 2020. Garth Ball has a heart for Africa - specifically Nairobi. In this message he shares his vision, showing how large areas can be won for Christ and how millions can have 'their best life' through strategic development, rather than temporary relief. This message is for any who have a heart to see the world won for Christ, 1 soul, village, city and nation at a time!
Three characteristics of God’s nature have a significant influence on you knowing and doing His will. Because God is love, His will is always best. As you follow and obey Him, He will always direct you in ways that are best for you and for the world into which He calls you.
· Because God is all-knowing, you will never have to question the rightness of His directions - even when they don’t make sense.
· His directions are always right.
· Because God is all-powerful, you do not have to doubt you ability, strength, or resources to complete His assignments for you.
· He will enable you to accomplish all that he calls you to do. (1 John 5:3; 2 Cor 5:20; Eph 3:20; 1 John 4:7,8)
Meditate on these truths:
· God is love. His will is always best.
· God is all-knowing. His directions are always right.
· God is all-powerful. He can enable you to accomplish His will.
Is God waiting to punish you? Do you have friends that have sworn off church because of their view of religion and and angry God? If you answered 'yes' to either questions then this message will impact you... the message of 'mercy triumphing over judgement'. God is LOVE! He loves us like a father. He IS the perfect father. This is one of Luke Boyd's finest sermons, truly in his signature style - the love of God for US - John 3:16!
Eyes Wide Open - How to live the Full Adventure of Knowing and Doing the Will Of God Msg: 'Part One' - God is working more mightily in our world today than ever before. He is calling His people to experience His Great love. Through this relationship, God Reveals Himself, His Purposes, and His Ways; and He invites you to join Him where He is already at work. When you obey, God accomplishes through you something only He can do. Then you come to know God in a more intimate way by experiencing God at work through you. (John 17:3)
We can continue to walk past people every day of our lives and see them through our natural eyes. Or we can open our eyes to see them through Jesus' eyes. Seeing through His eyes allows us to really SEE people and their needs and desire for their story to matter. Ps Julie shares this compassionate message to help us reach out to the hurting and broken.
The greatest commandment is "..and love your neighbour as you love yourself". (Matt 32:29) Many of us have insecurities in life that can make it difficult for us to love and reach out to our full capacity. In this message, Ps Garth encourages us how to love ourselves and in turn be free to love others.
The days ordained for us by God are written before we are even conceived. (Psalm 139) There is an "It is Written " on the inside of us. How do we uncover this great mystery and discover the very personal story He has written? Ps Julie teaches us how in this week's inspiring message.
We are living in one of the most amazing yet challenging times in human history. Like tectonic plates, the spiritual forces of this age are diametrically opposed to one another. Evil WILL give way to God! Revival IS coming! We need to be ready for it! We need to prepare ourselves for revival by living a Jesus Culture lifestyle!
Do you have enough of God on the inside of you that people would want to take a hold of you to go where you’re going? Garth teaches us how to become the kind of Christian that truly does fish for men and that draws people to Christ - through grace, steadfastness, firm beliefs, and above all love for our fellow man, both saved and unsaved.
During this sermon podcast Ra Toko shares all about lifting our hands, eyes, and voices for God. Using personal testimonies, he illustrates how partnering, in submissive faith, with God will completely change our world and those around us.
We have a choice..to move the Godly boundary lines put in place and live outside of God's protection and provision, or, like Naboth in the Bible, to hold firm to these boundaries.
Ps Julie shares what these boundaries are, how to stay within them and as a consequence how to flourish in The Lord
Ps. Phil shares about his own and this church's history to illustrate spiritual inheritance.
Spiritual inheritance is possessing the portion that God has given you. In God’s Word, it’s your physical and spiritual inheritance to claim, possess, walk out, mark out, bit by bit.
Ps Phil shares the vision for the church, how we need to move forward and how God, when we choose to trust Him through tithing, will cause us to prosper as a church and individually.
We have a choice..to move the Godly boundary lines put in place and live outside of God's protection and provision, or, like Naboth in the Bible, to hold firm to these boundaries.
Ps Julie shares what these boundaries are, how to stay within them and as a consequence how to flourish in The Lord
God-given vision is what lifts Christians from the level of the ordinary and enables them to achieve great things for God.
God’s vision is carried out by teams of people and not by individuals working on their own. Pastor Garth and Pastor Julie share a) the vision for the church and its direction and b) the culture that we want to have and be known by.
During the great Egyptian famine, the people of Egypt had to sell even their lives to Pharaoh in return for food. Once the famine broke, Pharaoh decreed that the people may have their lives in return for 20% of everything their farms produced.
Jesus has saved us from this life, for the next, for ETERNITY!...it is easy to tithe and give when we grasp this incredible love and salvation that God has for us!!
What does fasting do for us? How does it help our walk with God? How does it help us draw closer? What should we even fast? All food, T.V., other things?
Ps Phil takes us through the why's and what's of fasting. This message, although 'meaty' (pardon the pun!) will help you see fasting in a fresh, tangible and meaningful way.
Let's be honest..you cannot be seeking God and walking with Him without prayer. Like a wonderful game of hide and seek with a child, so it is that God WANTS to be found by us!
Seek Him and you WILL find him! Garth shares reasons why we don't prayer and teaches us why prayer must become a feature in our lives
Our culture is in decline as a result of turning away from God. We need revival in our cities and towns. But most importantly we need revival in our hearts. Some would say we need a CPR - Christ Prevailing Revival.
When you spend time with Jesus your perspective changes. You see through new eyes, who you are, what you need and you see others' needs in a fresh way.
Being selfless is not about money, it's a lifestyle. Thinking beyond yourself and helping others.
God does not have a plan for your life...He has PLANS! Mark encourages us to press in, shout louder and insist on getting close to Jesus, just like blind Bartimaeus, to see God's plans come to fruition in our life. Be specific! Tell God what you want Him to do for you - He knows anyway but it increases our faith to tell Him!
The nucleus of this message is love - God's love for us and our's for Him. Luke shares personal stories to demonstrate what it's like to walk through life holding God's hand.
Apostle Paul wrote with urgency, right before his death, to impart what he had to Timothy. In church we find family - those that can impart to us and that we, in turn, can impart into. We are ALL an important member in the family of Christ.
Why you weren't born as a impoverished child?
By realising our position of 'privileged circumstance', we become determined to take full advantage of the opportunities we have available to us that other nations don’t. 'Blessed to be a blessing'!
2013....did it leave you weary from distress? Garth encourages a shift inside of us for 2014, that will take us from weary distress to a freshness and renewed vigour in God for our benefit and for those around us.
We are all excited about the new year. But how can we make this year better than the last? Phil shares 3 simple steps to having a fruitful and prosperous 2014.
In these last days how do we avoid burnout, fatigue and complacency in our everyday walk with The Lord? How do we keep ourselves filled and able to minister to others? Julie uses the parable of the ten virgins to challenge and spur us on towards what we need to do to live wisely!
Be encouraged, inspired and boost your anticipation for 2014 with our highlights from our NYE service. May 2014 be your best year yet, filled with blessings, growth and, most importantly, the salvation of your family and friends! God bless you!!!
How long do your New Year's resolutions last? Phil gives some practical teaching on how to ensure your new year's resolution last - the major key is doing it in God's strength, rather than your own!
Phil also offers great encouragement and hope for 2014. It will be a year of reconciliation and restoration. Praise God for His plans and purposes for us!
God gives us two hands...to give, to share, to demonstrate, to serve and to impart His love to a hurting world. How will you serve with YOUR hands this Christmas?
Mary said 'Let it be unto me according to Your word'. Despite the impossibility of her situation - she was a virgin - she gave birth to Jesus.
God has spoken many things to you throughout your life. We can forget, let go of and feel despair for the promises and prophecies God has given us because they take too long, seem impossible, other's can't see them as viable...
BUT...God's word will NOT return to Him void. Dust off those long forgotten promises. Remember the prophetic signposts throughout your life. Take courage and be filled with faith that God WILL fulfil what He has promised you!
Simeon, old but faith-filled, believed that he would see the Christ before he died. He looked FORWARD to God's promise.
All through Biblical history people looked FORWARD to God's promises.
This Christmas we too can have complete faith in God and look FORWARD, to the fulfilment of God's promises in our lives and the lives of our families. We can trust that God's word WILL come to pass.
Jesus..A greater love story than any Hollywood romance movie, a rescue plan put into action thousands of years ago.
All through Biblical history prophecy and events have pointed towards Christ. Ra unpacks Israelite history to show us the precision and wonder of God's greatest love story rescue plan.
When the earth was only beginning, mankind (Adam&Eve), chose the darkness. God then put his greatest plan into action...Christ's birth was prophesied..He would be the light coming into the world!
Phil shares with us about how we may lovingly show this light to others this Christmas season
To obey is better than sacrifice. Obedience is not optional, to obey God, even in our everyday choices, honours Him and brings blessings into our life.
Don't misunderstand grace. It is there to help us, not to excuse us.
This meaty sermon is not for the faint hearted. Listen and be encouraged that obedience IS the key to your breakthrough!
God loves you just the way you are...but he loves you too much to leave you that way!!
You have your own anointing, unique to you. You have gifts for the benefit of others, for the common good. The church needs you to be YOU!
Meet Ra!!! Our fabulous new speaker. With a candid and humorous approach, Ra draws on his own past experiences to give a surprising new level of insight on what it means to live in the image of Christ. This life changing sermon is NOT to be missed!
We all face many battles in our life time, but how many of us can truly say we are holding our shield of faith high?
With his signature humour, Ps Phil explains 'what' our shield of faith is (the promises and protection of God, through Christ, in our life) and how to lift it high in our every day world!
Throughout history, its always been prayer that see's God move mightily. - The Church was birthed in a flurry of prayer. - Prayer before the service out back. - When talking about prayer with an emphasis placed upon the heart felt hungry crying out to God for Him to move. As opposed to religious phrases, or apathetic murmurs that aren't going to do anything. - Persistant prayer shifts you, moving Heaven and pushing back hell.
What do you see? Do you see good in everything? Do some people just grate on you? There's hope for your circumstances and relationships!
Ps Phil teaches us on how to 'see' with the power of the anointing - the Spirit, in everyday life and remain hopeful and encouraged at what is inside others!
We've been talking about the anointing - the ability to live the fullness of life in Christ. - The ability to be the best version of you, to collide with your destiny and do great exploits in God.
At certain times in our lives it can appear that we merely go through our lives "doing all the stuff",while still consuming the word of God we some how still manage to find ourselves hungry on on the inside. - It's at time like these that we need the washing of the word over our lives, Matt 6:11 explains this perfectly, "Give us - this day - our daily bread". You see God speaks to us everyday, in everyday ways. If we can listen quietly, we can hear God speaking to us naturally all the time.
Ps Julie uses her own personal testimony and testimonies from our church members to tenderly illustrate the powerful effect of The Anointing, to change, grow, empower and comfort those willing to 'just show up!' and be touched. An encouraging, touching and gentle message.
Without fresh anointing that comes only from continued intimacy with God we are living in our own strength. . The Old Testament declaration is still 100 percent true today: It is Zec 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. . Gadgets and gimmicks will never accomplish what God the Holy Spirit can do in one month as he works in the life of a church. . Jesus says the anointing flows from our being: Joh 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." Joh 7:39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Let's Pray: Lord, send a revival and let it begin in us, in our hearts and churches- no matter how or where it begins, Lord, send a revival of the Holy Spirit among your people.
Think of the potential we have in the anointing to serve, to love, to witness, to pray, to give, to build God's church, to preach, teach, connect groups, raise family and win friends. Remember because the gifts and calling of God are "irrevocable" (Romans 11:29) = You still need fresh anointing on your calling and giftedness It is this anointing that opens your mind, teaches you, guides you, calls you to pray, empowers you, and enables you to be stronger Christians, more powerful Christians. Not just people who are saved, but people who are saved, indwelt, and empowered.
How do we come to know God's anointing? - In order to truly understand the anointing of God a background understanding is essential. According to the Old Testament, Priests were set apart by a physical anointing of oil. This anointing signifies the setting apart, for God's service. During this weeks sermon Podcast Ps Phil Oldfield defines what God's anointing means to us, and how through his anointing power we can lives that are spiritually empowered and equipped.
Are You Anointed? - According to the 1John 2:20, The answer is Yes You Are. - In this series Ps Phil Oldfield teaches on the significance of God's anointing and what it means to us.
Culture - Control - Influence.The Devil is real, and so are the channels that he uses to control us through fear to bring us into a small place. However, God wants also to influence us and bring us into a much larger place.
This week in our PM Service, our guest Ra shares with us his testimony accompanied with a powerful message on Vision.
During our AM Service, Luke Boyd teaches on Growing In Love as part of the Spiritual Growth series.
Pastor Garth Ball continues on the series of Spirtual Growth, this weeks topic is Spiritual Transformation.
How do we become spiritually mature? - Our Goal as spiritual leaders should be to introduce people to Christ and God's Spirit, teaching them the truths of faith and then releasing them to serve, mature and grow in their spiritual life.
Question: Just what is spiritual growth?"
The answer: Spiritual growth is the process of becoming more and more like Jesus Christ. When we place our faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit begins the process of making us more like Him, conforming us to His image.
Spiritual growth is best described in 2 Peter 1:3-8, which tells us that by God's power, we have “everything we need” to live lives of godliness which is the goal of spiritual growth.
Notice that what we need comes “through our knowledge of Him,” this is the key to obtaining everything we need.
Our knowledge of Him comes from the Word, given to us for our edification and growth. - Bless-
Pastor Chuck Maher visits with us, all the way from Bethel Church in Redding California. During this podcast pastor Chuck shares his testimony and on how Holy Spirit revival has taken place in Bethel California.
Trials do not prevent you living Your Best Life. Rather, they prepare you for it and propel you into it.
Jesus walked among us ...He chose everyday people. We read the pages of the bible and are in awe of people like Peter. As he passed by people they were healed by his shadow. Lets take a closer look at this man and see if he reminds you of anyone…
The greatest building project ever undertaken by man was the construction of a wall to protect him from his enemies. Stretching over eighteen hundred miles The Great Wall of China separates that nation from her fierce northern neighbours, the Huns. A million lives were lost building it being over many years. Of all the man-made projects on the face of the earth, the Great Wall of China is the only structure from space = The Great Wall of China is symbolic of mans need for protection.
Mans desire to dwell in safety is the same throughout the world. That’s why we have houses with walls, ceilings = simply for protection from the elements, prying eyes and other intimidations. We are vulnerable in a hostile world - Man needs to defend himself does not only apply to his physical being. It applies to his spiritual life as well, for as surely as man needs protection from physical assault, he also needs to be safeguarded against the onslaughts of the Satan
We’ve been sharing that the same dilemma faces us as Christians to secure our Promised Land - Our inheritance in Christ Jesus. The Israelites could see from a distance the grandeur of a fascinating land of provision and delight but one frightening and inescapable fact was clearly evident THERE WERE GIANTS IN THE LAND! A similar experience confronts the Christian, there is not one person who, after conversion, has not fought a spiritual battle against the forces of Satan. We too face giants in the land. These giants are diverse and each Christian must effectively deal with them to live victoriously in the Promise Land.
John 5:1-15 AMP LATER ON there was a Jewish festival for which Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem a pool near the Sheep Gate. This pool in the Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great number of sick folk - some blind, some crippled, and some paralyzed (shriveled up) waiting for the bubbling up of the water. For an angel of the Lord went down at appointed seasons into the pool and moved and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was cured of whatever disease with which he was afflicted. There was a certain man there who had suffered with a deep-seated and lingering disorder for thirty-eight years. When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, Do you want to become well? [Are you really in earnest about getting well?] The invalid answered, Sir, I have nobody when the water is moving to put me into the pool; but while I am trying to come [into it] myself, somebody else steps down ahead of me. Jesus said to him, Get up! Pick up your bed (sleeping pad) and walk! Instantly the man became well and recovered his strength and picked up his bed and walked…….
There are not one but many encounters with The Lord that we will need on our journey to keep us alive in Him. Jesus is waiting at the place of our need .. Waiting to stir the water.. Waiting to lift your gaze .. Waiting to look into your eyes and tell you who you are .. That you would see yourself as He sees you.

The challenge for Christians is to harness our voice and use it for good, not for evil. The New Testament is packed with teaching on how to use our voice for good: to regain our ability to declare good and the power of creativity.
Do you tend to blend in or come under the darkness around you?As Christians we are called the light of the world. The hope of the world Jesus Christ lives in us. Christ in you is an illuminated light. All you have to do is flick the switch and believe.
'The God version of you living the God plan for you' - that is living in the Promised Land. Just as the Israelites faced opposing giants to enter Canaan, so also will you face giants who try to oppress your mind and stop you from entering your best life. Listen here to how you can be freed from the bondage of oppressors like fear, and become all that God has called you to be.
One of the Giants that scared God's people from possessing their Promised Land were the Hittites. Bible names are important - Hittite means fear, dread, surprise, shock. The same spirit is still alive today effecting even Christians - immobilizing, constraining a person from acting and responding to life by faith & courage. We need to know that God has not given us a spirit of fear - but love, Power & Sound mind. Christ in us empowers us to engage life and possess our best life, marriage, financial position, health, family and our own destiny. You were born for more than 1 acre of salvation - enter in - overcome the Giants in your land and possess your best portion of God's promises. The Promise land living is beckoning you - Bless!!
2Ti 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. (NIV)
2Ti 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind anddiscipline and self-control.(AMP)
“I heard your voice, and I was afraid...” (Gen. 3:10)
Job 3:25 What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.
Pro 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.
When we accept and put our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior we receive the best blessing = salvation = entering into a dynamic relationship with God. This new life and relationship is extended to you and God is asking you to lay hold of it so you can live your best life.
God has a vision for your life - and it's big! This kind of vision is not just for superstar Christians, but anyone who is courageous enough to step out and believe God. Here are some keys to help activate this in our life.
There is a promised land for each and everyone of us. A land flowing with milk and honey. It's beckoning us - calling us forward. It's time! Look ahead to what God will do in your life today and tomorrow. Stake your claim on your territory: Begin to expect God to give you dominion in every area of your life. Claim the promise of his presence: You're not in this alone, and you never will be. He is with you always. Are you ready to enter into his abundance? It's time to make your move.
Ephesians tells us “God is building a home and He is using us all irrespective of how we got here in what He is building” (Eph 2:19 MSG) – • The great joy of giving to God through Vision Builders is that we can all be involved. • WE are all invited to sow our lives and our resources into His great purpose and to become part of something much bigger than ourselves. Your ongoing faith, sacrifice and commitment is building a living legacy, and opening the door to invite others into the amazing history of God in the Earth.
The best kept secret in the Church is that people are dying to make a contribution with their lives. We are made for ministry! When everyone uses their unique, God-given SHAPE to make a difference for Jesus’ sake in your community, you’ll make a tangible, visible difference in your community. The church that understands this, and continually calls people to a vision where every member can express his or her uniqueness in ministry, will experience amazing vitality, health and growth.
Ps Julie takes us on a journey of C3 Tuggerah over the past 17 yrs."We are building a home for The Presence of God .. For people ... And for the generations."

As you get more into this church life as set out by the Apostle Paul – regarding mutual responsibilities to fellow believers you discover the phrase “one another ” = the church flourishing, growing and dynamic with community supportive life. The “one another” phrase is a key in unlocking the dynamic of this new community, called church. Paul talks about the church as the “body of Christ” a growing dynamic community reflecting God’s love as “Each part does its work”.
Every believer should be aware of the 9 fruits of the spirit in Galatians 5 and the Holy Spirit helps us to live these out in our every day. The 9 spiritual gifts are the out working of these 9 fruits of the spirit. A church that is manifesting the fruits of the spirit and practicing the 'one another' injunctions build up the body of Christ and lead to one mindedness and unity.
Our key objective as Christians is to love: Love God and love others. God is love and we are called to reflect Him in our lives. It is the key to witnessing - Give love away!
The Goodness of God is for Everyone - including the unsaved, unreached, disinterested, wicked, sinful - our enemies even! God loves everyone and is patient and merciful not wanting anyone to perish. The goodness of God is evident in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel is the good news Isaiah 40:9, 41:27, 52:7, 61:6, Luke 1:19, 2:10, Acts 8:12, 13:32, Hebrews 4:2, 6, and good it is! God is good to all men in His common grace, showering blessings on the wicked and the righteous alike Matthew 5:43-45, Acts 14:16-17. But God is particularly good to those who believe in the gospel.
Human beings cannot find complete fulfillment in life unless they find purpose in life. But only in the presence of God can you and I experience being the full glory of what we were created for. The key to find yourself and your intended glory is found in Eden in the garden of his presence.
The Goodness of God is a life transforming truth. It is not only an attribute of God but a foundational truth every Christian should embrace because it is the foundation of our faith in Him
God's "goodness" cannot be measured by human standards. It is so perfect and composed of so many numerous and diverse elements or facets that it cannot be altered by outside forces. His "goodness" is eternal.
What is it that makes us different form the world? Do we want to be ineffective and unproductive Christians or do we want to illuminate Christ in all we do?
What is it that makes us different form the world? Do we want to be ineffective and unproductive Christians or do we want to illuminate Christ in all we do?
The goodness of God is a foundational truth that shapes our perspective toward God and His dealings with us in this life. Every time we experience God’s goodness to us, we are experiencing His glory, but most times we are unaware of it. May God quicken our spiritual senses to perceive His glory whenever we experience His goodness.

Do you know WHO you believe in? Do you know him? Jesus came to redeem anybody who would believe, anybody who would trust. Those who believe know Jesus is the holy one of God and our hope beyond our present circumstances and beyond the grave.
When you have hope it is not easy to give up because God has placed an image of His promise inside you for something that is yet to come. You can never run away from it for it is a hidden thing inside you - the image, the knowledge and the feeling is there even though your environment may dictate something different.
The day you lose sight of the importance of you is the day you lose sight of the importance of God. Believe in your destiny, that you have a future. When you see the importance of you, then God has his church in his hand where He says " Now - reach out to those called to this house".
The journey of the Cross through the blood of Jesus was a pathway set before us of freedom redemption and salvation, restoring all that was lost in the Garden. "It is finished" He cried! Take this very personal journey with us as you listen to Ps Julie's dramatic depiction of that very special Good Friday
There’s something so special and unique about gathering to worship the risen Savior on Easter morning. It’s a time when we can focus most on the sacrifice and glorious resurrection of Jesus, which gives us hope and removes the sting of death.
What happened at Easter happened for everybody, for all people for all time. God was bringing us back to live in a perfect relationship with him with nothing between us, no barriers, no sin, no condemnation. So what happened?
It is absolutely crucial we understand what Christ did for us at the cross. Where do we stand in Gods sight? What does it really mean when Jesus saved us?
Who Will Preach the Cross Of Christ?
(1Co 1:18) For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Much of the church today seems to have forgotten about the Cross of Christ. However, we cannot effectively preach Christ without the cross. Although many might rather hear a message about the seven steps to prosperity or how to stand in faith for healing; there can be no prosperity and there is no healing apart from what Jesus did on the cross.
Even more importantly, the bible tells us, “Without shedding of blood is no remission (of sin)” (Heb. 9:22). Having this knowledge, we have no other choice but to preach the Cross and Christ crucified.
You can read the Bible from cover to cover, show up at church every time the doors are open and pray until you are blue in the face, but until you find your place at the foot of the bloodstained cross, you will not know redemption and forgiveness for your sins.
For it is in Christ that we have redemption and that “through his blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Col 1:14)
The Well of our salvation – the bible has much to say about wells.
John 4:13 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, John 4:14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst..... Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Jer 2:13 My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
The Cross presents us with the singularly most powerful and enormous work of God in the earth To get back to the cross, is to get back to an amazing life, based on the death and resurrection of Jesus, rather than the efforts of man .
Why did Jesus Christ suffer and die? I believe that is the most important question of the 21st century. Let’s look at ten answers from the bible
The number one desire in Gods heart is seeing people come to know Him. In this season, God is calling His church to rise with a passion to share the gospel and build the church, partnering with God to accomplish His plans.
This message finishes our series on Kingdom Family - Entitled 'The Acid Test of Church' The church was birthed in the Spirit, sustained in the Spirit and shaped by the Spirit to be a family. How is it possible to transcend all our selfishness, individualism, me, myself, & I attitudes and behavior? The Apostle Paul by prophetic revelation from heaven teaches the blue prints for spiritual family called church. It can be done in the Fellowship of Jesus and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit - try it! It works!!
Jesus, through is redemptive work on the cross and the Father's promise of the Holy Spirit gives birth to the Spirit empowered church. The first hurdle for Jesus to build His church is for the Jews to get used to the idea of inclusiveness for the Gentiles and all people's. Apostle Paul states over and over - it's because of the fellowship with Jesus & the Holy Spirit that all this possible - Church Family, Great Commision, Great Commandment- all possible through Holy Spirit empowered church.
You need to get a revelation of "what you are not" before you can get a revelation of "what you are." (Song: I Am Redeemer - Now and Not Yet - Jeremy Riddle)
The New Testament gives us several pictures of the church and at the Centre of these Pictures is the “Family”. The Family relationship of the church is the foundation of strong thriving life giving church for its members. The challenge the church faces is the cultural gap to reconcile God’s people to their spiritual family called local church - it can be done in the power of the Spirit. In the New Testament , His people are very seldom referred to by the title Christians or even believers. The most common title used is brothers, emphasizing membership in one spiritual family. The interpersonal relationship of the church family allows for accountability, partnership and discipleship, this is the profound nature of the community called church family- it works!
Do we become Christians and just attend church...or are we a a part of a much bigger picture?
The church is the Fathers house where His kids abide - the church is a family! Just as in a natural family the mature children bring their board to the parent to contribute to the house, so the tithe or ten percent is the board that we bring to our Dad for his house.
The Kingdom family is based in the Word. “Total church” is based on the the Word (The Gospel) and it’s mission to save and bless. Equally as important as the Word, is the church as a community called 'church family'. Firstly, let’s understand the strong emphasis of church family being build on the Word of God. God rules through His Word – Jesus is the Word - We live by the Word- We build our lives on the solid rock of the Word of God. Matt 7:24-27
The Rock-Solid Foundation for your life is found in Matthew 7:24-27. Jesus says your life will be built on one of two foundations (there are no other options). One foundation is Rock, which enables you to overcome all the trials of this world. It is the evidence of new birth and you’re saving faith. The other foundations is sand, and anyone who builds on it will see their “faith’ collapse in the storms of life.
A New Year is a great moment to make lifestyle changes. It’s a great time to get rid of clutter. ‘Letting go’ for some is frightening, but to make room for the future you can’t have clutter from the past taking up time, energy, focus, resources. Isa 43:18 Forget the former things
Always More, Always Forget, Always Forward. (Philippians 3:10-17) - Furiously forgiving and letting go of the past to Press on! So much God resource available (limitations 3:22-23) to Break-on-tru to a new season of "Your best life" - 2013 - Bless
Roman 12 speaks of renewing our minds. By allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our minds we release the domineer of the World over us and gain freedom in Christ.
We were created to have a spiritual appetite for the things of God. Check out this podcast for reasons why we can find ourselves lacking this spiritual hunger, along with the keys for getting it back.
Everyone is created purposefully and intentionally by the Master Creator - Christ God. And no significant life can be lead unless you get a vision for your life from God. He wants to speak to our spirit to reveal his purpose for our lives.
Vision is essential for survival, it's spored by faith, sustained by hope, sparked by imagination and strengthened by enthusiasm. Vision for the future releases you for the regrets of the past.
God becoming man in Jesus is an act of restoration. The world is His creation; we are made in His image. And yet the rebellion of centuries has marred this image. We are no longer what God intended. And so Jesus came to begin the cleaning process. In his own character he showed us what God is like, what we are intended to be, and what we might become- this the Gift of Christmas to humanity You and Me!
Mankind had longed to see God and connect with Him, so God took a step in making the ultimate connection with mankind when Jesus became flesh.
God does not want you to live subject to circumstance. We are empowered by Him to live victorious in life and we are empowered to live beyond our circumstance. John 10:10
All of us have different gifts and talents, but we all carry the ministry of reconciliation, of building a bridge through Christ into peoples worlds.
Courage for living comes from a deep abiding trust in God. "Let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil with good." Maya Angelou
One of the reasons we don't get the full benefits of salvation is because we pull up short of going the full deal = Water Baptism!
Humans are like people stuck in a cave looking at shadows on a wall believing the shadows are real but they are just things that get in front of the light. Shadows! The people living in darkness have seen a great light on those living in the land of the shadow of death - a light has dawned
Jesus brings a completely new era, not only reconciling us back into right relationship with God, he paid the price for us to live and walk in the very presence of the living God.
The full Gospel asks us to be clothed in power and Host the Holy Spirit to live the overcoming life and fulfill our assignment for God's glory - releasing the presence of God.
The Baptism of the Hole Spirit is essential to fulfill your best life. How? Hosting the Holy Spirit and His Presence influences others to God.
As humans we see good and bad, but God only sees life. He is the life giving Spirit and His heart is all about winning souls. He is wanting us to come into His presence and draw from Him so we can give it away.
God wants us in His presence, not just doing things for Him but being with Him. We need to know His presence, His voice and His heart. And His heart is always for others!
We serve a God with emotions - a God who loves to be loved. We serve a God who has a love language and the word that is used over and over in scripture it describe what He loves is "praise".
Seeking the Lord means seeking His presence. It is a conscious choice to direct the heart toward God. There is always something through which or around which we must go to meet Him consciously. This going through or around is what seeking is. He is often hidden - Veiled!
There are different kinds of gifts but the same Spirit. God can reveal and develop your gift so you can help the church.
When you serve through love everything becomes better. There is more purpose and meaning in your serving.
As God’s people live under his reign through obedience to this word, they attract the nations to God. When Jesus taught in John 14 that God does his work through his word, he was reflecting the common principle of the story of salvation.
God helps us build unity as we work together serving each other with one purpose , one goal and one heart.
Each person plays a vital role in God’s kingdom, from the least noticed to the most prominent individual, and each role is just as important as all the others. The key is not how noticed you are or how “effective” you are; its how obedient you are to your Lord and Master. Jesus said, “You are My friends if you do whatever I command you” ( John 15:14). Conversely, He said, “Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which i say?” (Luke 6:46). We must be ever mindful of the fact that we are the servants, the ambassadors of a mighty King. He determines our usefulness to His purposes according to how he has gifted and equipped us for ministry.
Let’s look at what a follower of Christ is - a true follower of Jesus Christ- Matthew 4 recounts the call of Christ to Andrew, Peter, James, and John. When Jesus asked them to follow Him it meant: 1) Come follow me for a growing and deepening relationship- not a task or duty- a relationship. 2) Come follow me for a radical reformation because of my influence as a leader in your life = True followers do not remain the same once they start following Christ.
God wants to turn us inside out from our preoccupation with ourselves to thinking, caring and having a heart to bless and serve others. Our maturity in God depends on our ability to serve!
C3t challenging MSG - Talkin change! There is no question that if we as Christians are going to grow and mature into Christ-like character, We must experience progress in giving of ourselves in ministry to and for others. While we can and should find comfort and encouragement in Christ "Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any com mon sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion", (Philippians 2:1 NIV)= You can "serve" if you receive God's resource of love and power- Servant living stands opposed to the primary concerns we see today where the focus of our culture and society is more on our own personal happiness and comfort- But! Phil. 1:4 we should have the same attitude as Christ =servant= serve others bless!
Every season of our lives is ordained by God and meant to work good in us and cause us to revere God.
You can't go very far on a flat tyre. Jut like a bike with a flat tyre wobbles and is hard to ride, a life with a flat tyre will wobble and wane and be difficult. Is it time to change your flat tyre?
Your best life is on the other side of a free heart! As we lean on Jesus, surrender to Him and trust Him can we be free of all the pain, unforgiveness, doubt etc that holds us captive. Don't allow the enemy to make you a hostage to hurt because it holds you back from seeing the beauty of God.
With God, there is no variableness. He never changes His mind; He never changes His Word; and through His Word, we can truly know Him. All He says is everlasting. He never changes His principles of right and wrong. He never changes Himself. And best of all, He never changes His love for His children.
Once you receive the affirmation of the Father your life changes! If you do have the opportunity - affirm your children. Set the environment and bring out the best in them by guiding and instructing them. All the while building them up and leading them to their heavenly Father
There are many stages of learning to follow. Sometimes we start running ahead of God, walking in our own strength rather than following Him and resting in His strength, love and protection.
Some changes in life are fantastic, others are hard to understand. We all ask the question "Why?" and it is easy to get stuck there. The way ahead is to rephrase the question "What now?"
God is faithful to us no matter what we are going through, or whether we remain faithful to Him. God never leaves us but continues to call us to Him in times of change.
We all have changes in our lives. From day to day we need God to help us get through whatever may come our way. Some days we may be shouting, "Praise God!" while other times we may be crying out, "I need a miracle!" Whatever the day may bring, changes will come and we need to have a godly mindset in order to handle them.
Agape love is God's kind of love. It is seeking the welfare and betterment of another regardless of how we feel. Agape does not have the primary meaning of feelings or affection. Jesus displayed it when he went to the cross and died for you and me regardless of how He felt. We can agape others regardless of how we feel. If they are hungry, we can feed them; if they thirst we can give them a drink (Rom. 12:20-21). We can choose to seek the betterment and welfare of others regardless of how we feel.
Pastor Pat Antcliff, a science master and biblical scholar walks us through two world views for creation. God has given us the great undertaking to work out how the creator did what he did in creation yet it can never be fully known. "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and it is the glory of Kings to search it out."
God goes beyond religion and rules. God is beyond words in his power. Jesus understands, and wants to touch your life and set you free.
We all carry stuff that life has thrown at us - hurts, offenses, shame, worry etc. It can weigh us down and hold us back from having a deep and personal relationship with God if we don't let it go. Make a decision, set your mind on things above, focus on God and know He is for us. He is all we need!
Of all human experiences, having God in your life is potentially the most exciting, fulfilling and significant. Yet few, if any, of us are strangers to feeling deserted by God. We can feel empty and our every attempt to touch God can seem to end in stony silence or a divine scowl.
Christianity is unique among religions, for it alone offers a personal relationship with the Creator beginning here and now, and lasting throughout eternity. Jesus declared, "This is eternal life that they may know [God]" (John. 17:2). Unfortunately, many in the Church miss the great blessing of fellowship with our Lord because we have lost the ability to recognize His voice within us. Though we have the promise that "My sheep hear My voice," too many believers are starved for that intimate relationship that alone can satisfy the desire of their hearts.
Your purpose in God is deep within you. The Holy Spirit will reveal that purpose as you draw near to Jesus. Come to the Word, through the word, to Jesus. Spend time with Him, learn from Him! And as you hear Him and learn from him your life is transformed by His unquenchable love and you are able to help others find Him.
We were all created to have a relationship with God and through Jesus we all have direct access to God to hear Him personally. God is doing everything to build that relationship but so often we miss it when He is communicating with us
There is a unique journey for everyone in hearing God's voice and everyone needs to find their individual way of hearing the voice of God. We also need to respect how everyone else hears God.
Does God really talk to us? Can we really hear God's voice? We often doubt if we are hearing from God until we learn to recognise the ways God speaks to us.
One of the greatest benefits of our salvation has to be that of hearing God speak to us personally. There can be no intimate relationship with our heavenly Father without it. But, as easy as it is for us to speak to Him, the average Christian has a hard time hearing His voice. This is not the way the Lord intended it to be.
In John 10:3-5 Jesus says, "His sheep hear His voice". He didn't say His sheep CAN hear His voice or SHOULD hear His voice. He made the emphatic statement that His sheep DO hear His voice. Most Christians would question the accuracy of that statement since their experiences don't line up. But it's not what Jesus said that is wrong; all true believers can and do hear the voice of God; they just don't recognize what they are hearing as being God's voice.
One of the Greatest things as Christians is that we do not just abide by a set of rules or regulations, we abide in an intimate relationship with God the Father. We need to move that relationship beyond just knowing about God and move in to the intimacy of hearing God.

As Jesus hung on the cross He was our victorious King defeating the enemy on our behalf. Imagine His eyes starring down at you from the cross - full of love, full of vision for your best life.
God is an active God always looking for people with faith. He moves through faith to build churches and rescue humanity from hell, from darkness and from sickness. We need to have living faith to influence and change the atmosphere - it is an exercise of the heart.
Faith is a gift to believe in our invisible God - it is not logic or reasoning. But God responds to faith and God is moved by Faith.
Everything you have from God you received by faith. Each day you make the choice to use your faith, you choose to believe in the invisible power of God to bring miracles to pass.
Every life is important to God and we all have a path to walk to receive the incredible inheritance God has planned for us. It is our choice to follow that path even though we don't know where it will lead.
If we want to move in the realm of faith and be faith people we have to understand that God is unbelievably huge, He is never ending and there is nothing to hard for God.
'Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you are called...' Do we fight with faith? How do we fight with faith? Could it be as simple as just believing God for who He is and who He is to us?
Every thing we do as a church is about one soul, one life. But in order for God to move He needs the church to cry out for people and bring them to birth into the Kingdom of God.
Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:37:00 'Machine Gun Preacher'
Alan Jones speaks with the inspiring 'Machine Gun Preacher', Sam Childers.
Do you believe God is able, God is willing, and God is able and willing to do it in you? God knows you, your weaknesses and is ready to fulfill his promises through you.
God did not call us to live by logic or probable outcomes, He wants us to live by faith.
Jesus says in my name it is finished, upon the rock of this revelation I will build my Church, Faith is about turning around and choosing to look in to the eyes of the one who loves you, will never judge you, is dependable, never moves and is trustful. God is faithful to us even when we are unfaithful to Him.
Faith is a dynamic interaction between your spirit and God; it is a high dependance on your spirit being intimately connected to and engaged with God. It is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Being caught up in a move of God, and being empowered to the point were we have audacious faith. When we see Jesus through grace, he see us through faith and God chooses to to great things though us.
Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Each person in the church has there part to play. Each part working together through love to build the house of God.
God is moving, bringing a multi-generational revival where young people will rise up , supported and guided by their spiritual parent in the church.
Over 2000 year ago something started that has changed this world, and is still changing this world. God's mighty power is ready to be unleashed over you so that you may have an intimate relationship with God the Father.

God knows you on a level more intimately than anyone else. It is when we reciprocate that relationship and draw near to him that we can reflect God's grace.
God knows you on a level more intimately than anyone else. It is when we reciprocate that relationship and draw near to him that we can reflect God's grace.
When you receive grace, sin loses its appeal. When you have an encounter with grace, God's Spirit works to change your life and the smile of heaven comes upon you.
Walk with me and work with me- watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. (Matthew 11:29 MSG)
God's greatest desire for your life is that you would draw near to Him. Your success, your accomplishments, even your behaviour and morality, is not on the top of God's priority list. His greatest desire is that His children would draw near to Him. However, many Christians live at arms length with God. They like the idea of being close to Him, but they are unsure of whether or not they are actually welcome to come into His presence because they are approaching God on the basis of their own worth and their own works, not realizing the depth of the gift of Grace.
When you encounter God's free gift of grace, you live life in a totally new way. The favor of God comes upon you, not only empowering you to worship but to life your best life.
Tell me your vision and I will tell you your future. No significant life can be lived for God, nor can any significant work be done by God unless it is grounded firmly on the reality of God given spiritual vision. Vision is what lifts Christians from the level of the ordinary and enables them to achieve great things for God.
Grace and Truth comes to us by His Spirit and knocks on our heart - to bless us and give us salvation.
Jesus did not die on the cross because any one of us deserved it. But He redeemed us with His very life - paid the price - gave Himself up so you and I can receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness to reign in life. It's all about Jesus!
The greatest, most loving display of God’s grace has been shown to us through the life, death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, the King of kings, Jesus Christ! We could never earn this grace. It is the gift of God.
In our human nature we have a propensity to want to achieve. But God wants us to receive the free,unearned gift of His grace and get in the groove of knowing that grace is for you, around you and upon you.
Why is it so important to be relentless, perservering and persistant in your walk with God?... We need to finish the race well and hear the words "Well done good and faithful servant"!
Grace is referred to as "His divine power" and allows us to be partakers of the divine nature of God (2 Peter 1:2-4). A definition of grace could go like this: Grace is God’s free empowerment that gives us the ability to go beyond our natural ability.
We serve the God of the impossible. He always ready and able to show Himself strong on behalf of those who believe His Word. The Key is putting Him FIRST in all we do.
In the beginning there was God, and in the beginning of your life, when there was just a seed - there was God! He was there lovingly creating and forming you. He has never stopped thinking of you, looking at you, memorizing you and caring for you!
Our heart bares the marker of whether or not we are followers of Jesus. The condition of the heart is key to loving God and loving people. How do we change our heart? How do we make sure our heart is in the right place? How do we get our hearts soft?
Jesus came to give us relationship, and not rules. A good definition of waht we mean by religion is 'rules without relationship'. You can have a false religion that depends on your own works -your own righteousness or you can know Christ coming to Him not based on what you have done but what He has done.
It's difficult to imagine how an intimate friendship is possible between an omnipotent , invisible God and a finite, sinful human being. But it’s true, we can know God and be His friend – Best friends, with God even.
We serve the God of the impossible. He’s always ready and able to show Himself strong on behalf of those who believe His Word- The key is putting Him first in all we do. The supernatural, breakthrough power of God shows up in your life when you give Him first-place in your life.
It is time to seek the Lord, to know Him and make Him known. But ,how does God make Himself known?
Veils of blindness over the nations are being removed off the earth. God is calling in a harvest of souls such as we have never seen before. Expect at least 1 billion souls come to the Lord Jesus Christ in 2012 - Glory!!! The Favour of God is upon us!....please watch this GodTube video after Pastors Julie's message. http://www.godtube.com ... TITLED... My Own Little World (A Christ Church of the Heartland Production with a song by Matthew West) - Inspirational Videos
This baby Jesus in the manger is the answer to all of our problems: We want to be good but we can't, we want to love God but we can't, we want to love our families but we can't, we want to love our children but we can't, we want to not sin but we can't, we want to not get depressed but we can't, we want to not get angry but we can't - Why?
God wants to communicate with His creation so that we might know him and re-present Him to people. Show and tell: His Love, His Nature, His Heart and His miracles.
How much do we need to hear encouragement? All of us need it and we all need to encourage one another in the Lord, sharing the gospel and our lives.
People are developed through their connections - Spiritually, physically, emotionally and socially.
God has given us this beautiful gift called a Free Will and a choice to accept Gods greatest and most perfect gift of Salvation. Jesus willingly died on the cross for us because we were worth it. Let's never forget the high price Jesus paid for each and every one of us and honour Him with every breath and every disicion we make because HE IS WORTH IT! (Mattie Montgomery - Vision at beginning of message)
The power of prayer and your confession is so critcal to your life. Your words will dam you or bring you into glory land. We must know what God is saying to us and then say yes and amen to his promises.
Let's get back to what our purpose is as human beings - to have a relationship with God, and reflect his love to all those around us.
As you discipline yourself in your relationship with God through faith and prayer, you allow the Holy Spirit to cultivate a deep level of spirituality whereby your eyes are open to the wonder of His glorious grace and power.
God is desperate to communicate His love to all of us. He is calling a people to Himself, to hear his heart and speak prophetically to hurt and dying people everywhere with encouragement, exhortation and comfort.
Jesus set people free and brought them to salvation through meeting their 'felt needs'. Let compassion rise up in our hearts and successfully overcome crisis through prayer in a supernatural showdown of faith in the name of Jesus.
Three things we need to change when God has moved us into His bigger, broader place: Man Up, Think Bigger, Be Stronger
Can our cities be won for Christ? Does prayer evangelism work? Is there a battle in the heavenlies?
Your life is unique, special, and by no means an accident. No one is common, no one is menial; we were created for the extraordinary. Each of us has a unique path that God has prepared for our lives. (John Bevere)
Step out of the ordinary! Heaven is saying, come up higher and live your best life. Ascend the hill of the Lord and be filled, renewed and empowered with the Holy Spirit. God wants to pour you out on a broken world supernaturally, but you need to be filled!
There is a purpose and destiny for our lives where everything , the good, the bad, the ugly all work for good.
Wild at heart invites men to discover their masculine heart defined in the images of our passionate God and invites women to discover the secret of mans soul and delight in the strength and wildness men were created to offer.
The Lord has been waiting for a people who will stand up in Holy Ghost boldness and believe what He said was true.
Our huge creative God is our personal shepherd: protecting, providing, guiding and nurturing us. He is our God of Peace and Rest, restoring our souls and making them new.
What is Saving faith? Committing your life to God - Believing in Jesus - Becoming obedient from the heart - Believing in your heart - Believing the Bible to be the Word of God - Putting your trust in God - Inviting Jesus to take His rightful place in your life
It is one thing to go where God has planted you, it is another thing to choose to put your roots down. Choose to be planted...not for the sake of man but for God and His Kingdom.
Do you want to experience the power of the Kingdom? Listen to your conscience, be sensitive to the the Holy Spirit and allow yourself to be lead by your God conscience.
The Ultimate goal of the universe is the church. God is perfecting a bride for His Son Jesus. How? Through prevailing prayer and faith, and obedience to the Holy Spirit.
God is increasing across the earth and in us. It is an increase in the knowledge of the Glory of God and the spiritual realm that depends on how willing and open we are to that increase.
The church should be a door into the reality of heaven and the supernatural realm of the Spirit of God. Jesus is the door and wants us to use the keys he has given us to empower and release others into the knowledge of Christ as Saviour.
God wants us to be increasingly made aware that we are His children and that His love is perfect. He desires a deep and profound relationship with us - that we may know Him as our nourisher, protector and upholder.
God wants us to press in and seek Him more than ever before, for He going is to unveil a new realm of the Spirit where people will see angels and sense the strong presence of God in their world and their lives.
God still uses people even though we have all sinned. His grace and forgiveness lifts us up so we can bring love to others.
Who remembers the very first time you encountered God? The day when you knew God is real and that he loves you. That joy, the peace, His love, is undeniable and changes you forever.
God desparately wants us to hear Him, see Him and understand what He is saying, feeling and doing. We have a responsibility to get in the council of God and hear his words so we can be here amongst people and speak the words that will turn lives to eternal salvation.
The Kingdom of God is primarily relational not simply functional. The Lord wants to be involved in our lives through our friendships and fellowship with other believers.
The Word of God will build you into an extraordinary man or woman of God. Apply the Word to your life and allow the Holy Spirit to transform every area of your life.
We need to understand the living breathing Word of God and have confidence that God still speaks through His Word today. Study the Word daily, believe it, apply it, proclaim it and watch God move.
There is an extraordinary individual within every individual. Don't lead a domesticated life. Take your family into the adventure of the Spirit filled life.
Allow yourself the opportunity to answer your calling “the life you were meant” to live. Meet with Divine empowerment for your best life!
As christians we need a revelation that we are sons and daughters of God and therefore everything the Father has is ours. The truth is you are royalty...born to rule!
God wants us to fall in love with ourselves and forgive ourselves. He doesn't want us in a box of rejection, trapped in bondage where we are in self hatred and ripping ourselves off.
The most important thing we can do is with our lives is to love God, love each other and love ourselves.
The only power that we ever have is the power that we release to demonstrate our faith. Our behaviour always demonstates what I believe
Everyone is crying out for belonging and everyone is crying for affirmation. Our Father in heaven is the only one that can make us truly belong and the only one who can truly affirm us.
Jesus wants us to know the Father as He does. In an intimate loving relationship as Abba Father (Daddy)
We are the body of Christ connected to a common purpose of Vision. Where there is vision, there should be provision.
The Lord wants us to become more like sons and daughters of the house, not participants. Sons and Daughters who belong - Family!
The Lord has given us sceptors in our hands but they sit dormant. He has given us authority over a nation but our mouths stay shut. He has given us dominion authority but our land stays in ruins, our homes stay in chaos... because we don't know who we are!
As a nation we carry rejection born out of our heritage. We feel like we are orphans, like we never fit or belong. But God is a Father and He said "I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."
Walking with God is not just a one day event or falling from one crisis to another, but a journey that takes us to a place of connection to Christ in a way that deeply changes who we are and how we look at our neighbour.
People need to know the purpose of the church. We don't have to make the purpose the of the church, we just have to discover it.
Across the world there is an orphan heart. The enemy wants us to remain under the stronghold of an orphan spirit but because God is our Father, He gave His own Son that we might become His sons and daughters.
In the last days the house of the Lord will become the most important place on earth. People from all over the earth will come there to worship. The church, your church, is a house for all nations!
Any time you bring an offering you declare war against the enemy but know that your tithe declares your VICTORY. Protect your offering - pray over it, declare it and stand strong in the victory.
God is calling His people into a deeper hunger - a deeper thirst. It is time to get earnest with God, it is time to stop the lip service and be real with Him.
It is not the time for passivity. This day we fight! We need to say, "enough" with our present circumstances and say, "I want more of God, I want You".
There is a grace sweeping the nations. It is about us being awoken and active again in the Spirit. Praying, loving God with all our heart and consumed with zeal to build the church.
We will be defeated if we allow a passive spirit to rule our life. If we don't overcome the enemy, the enemy will overcome us.
The Kingdom of God is at hand - it is something you can touch. But it takes faith. You need to be awake in God 24/7 otherwise you may stop believing what God has for you. Stir yourself up in the Lord to overcome any obstacle that comes. Faith!
We are living in a time right now, where there is the sound of heavy rain. Elijah could hear the sound when there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. You might not see much right now, but if you are hearing in the Spirit you will pick up the sound of heavy rain. Not just a nice little rain, but a pouring out of the Spirit of God that is going to be big.
When we are born again our spirit is released to believe God. Everything you receive is by faith! Faith enables you to understand spiritual things.
If you want your best life and promises of God you need faith. Faith is an attitude. An attitude that reaches out when people are sick, that prays and believes God for the impossible.
We think of God as father, protector defender, provide,r strong disciplinary. How often do we consider the nurturing mothering side of His nature?
God is a God of purpose and everything He made in this life, including men and women, has a purpose. The nature of the women must be understood in light of her purpose, and her needs must be understood in light of her nature - otherwise, she will be unable to fulfill the purpose for which she was created.
Develop your character! If you get with the program of Christ building your character you will find yourself in the presence of God. If you don't want to build character in your life you will find yourself so far distant from God, out of His presence loosing traction and all perspective of Gods Kingdom.
Are you receiving whatever you ask in prayer? Are you loving each other to the point of laying down your life? Sacrificial love costs you something!
This year let’s believe for TEN PASSOVER MIRACLES- Ten is God’s prophetic number of divine perfection. These will be yours, as you step into the Passover blessing = Covenant blessings!
We all go through times of brokenness .. Some of those times we my feel like we just cant get up and go again....but we do get up and we do go again
Recognize who God is in your life! The enemy has no claim, no place, no power over us as Christians. We belong to God, are washed in the blood of Jesus and therefore overcomers through faith in Him!
We are all called by faith to believe in what we can't see regardless of the waves, challenges or trials that go before us.
Ps David Livingstone grew up in Uganda during troubled times and suffered much. God is powerfully using him to bring hope to many Africans through Peace Radio. He briefly shares his journey as a young boy towards Christianity and the blessing of Peace Radio throughout his region and beyond.
The Church is the answer to a lost and broken world. Through the cross we have been set free from sin, set free from sickness, set free from the devil, from poverty, from the curse of the law, set free from the world, even ourselves.
'Beyond' the mission arm of the church. We are a movement that is all about the local church. But Jesus is saying the same thing to us today as He said to His disciples – GO! Go Beyond the 4 walls of the church and reach people. Don’t wait for them to walk into church, go out and meet them where they are.
Learn from Jesus, pray regularly. Put God first by taking time out and waiting on the Lord. It takes effort!
God has a future for you but you may be stuck, in despair, just commuting with no drive towards your preferred future and destiny. It is time to rise up in prayer and prophesy into those dry bones. Speak life, speak hope, speak and declare the future and see those dry bones come to life in the Holy Ghost.
Right across the earth right now there is a hunger in the heart of people to know the living God. God wants to touch each one of us. He wants to complete the work inside of us so that we would arise and shine and let our light be seen in the midst of darkness.
The world is in turmoil and people are crying out for answers. God wants to awaken us to the times, He is calling His church to arise, take our place, and stand in these days in glory.
We know of Israel from of what we read in the Bible, but what about Israel in these current times?
Week after week we hear about the stories of healings. Be selfish! Cry out to God for your miracle. Don't listen to the crowd that says it is not your turn, or you're not good enough or too broken.
Your character is the eternal script that will determine your response to failure, success, mistreatment and pain. God wants to connect with you on the inside to groom you, fashion you, help you, to cleanse you and sanctify you.
How can God take the raw material of our life, our soul, our personality and mold it to be more Christlike?
Vision compels us to move forward with destiny and purpose. There is no greater source of hope and confidence than that of Godly vision.
We see in the scriptures that the Lord always responds to the cry of the oppressed by sending a delivering power. To do this he must prepare his messengers by empowering them with character knowledge and the anointing for the mission at hand.
In order to become a person of character you must surrender to Gods ownership. Are we willing to allow Jesus to be Lord over all our stuff - our personality, character, life?
Our experience of Christianity must go beyond just being another interpretation of the Bible. It must expand until our faith in Jesus and our love for Him becomes a lightning rod for His presence.
There is a world out there that is just looking for integrity, it is looking for people to be real about what they believe. Don't just talk the stuff, live it, walk it.
The key to making God famous is living a holy life. Because Daniel set himself apart and lived with Diligence, Integrity, Devoted Relationship and Obedience, God was made famous throughout the known world.
Faith is aggressive! It speaks to dead wombs and says BEAR FRUIT!. It speaks to poverty and says PROVISION COME! It speaks to sickness and says BE HEALED! It speaks to broken relationships and says BE RESTORED!
The church is going to be given a Voice again and it is going to be powerful. Things will change and move. Jesus will make a way for us to speak. Do not be afraid - keep on speaking, do not be silent for the Lord is with you.
It is time to seek God! Seek Him until he showers His righteousness on you. Seek Him and never give up

Let's position ourselves in Gods loving redemptive plans for us and possess the portion God has given us as an inheritance for our children's children.
The difference between believers and unbelievers does not lie in the guilt or innocence of either; it lies in the different attitudes they take toward the "light." Unbelievers shrink from the light because it exposes their sin; believers willingly come to the light so that their real motives may be revealed
This Christmas Jesus is looking for a donkey. A faithful people who will get down on their hands and knees, do whatever it takes and surrender to the call of God to carry Jesus into your family, into their home, into every situation.
Are you willing to travel the long and windy road to Bethlehem? The Spirit has put inside you a dream, an expectancy full of promise, but the enemy wants to make your road to Bethlehem so difficult that you'll fall back into unbelief. Don't be weary in your well doing. Re-kindle your expectancy, you will be rewarded.
God has called us and set us high above, to sour like eagles in our giftings. It is up to us to believe we are the head and not the tail. It's time to change the way we think, instead of struggling through life on the lower rung, see ourselves high above where the blessings flow.
God is not angry with you, He doesn't just tolerate you. He loves you and is for you. He doesn't just love you enough for you to get into heaven, but He loves you enough to bless you and have a relationship with you in this life on Earth
God is calling generations to turn their hearts to to one another. Mothers and fathers of the Spirit calling their children to rise up in the Spirit and children of the Spirit calling their non spiritual parents to turn to Jesus.
It is time to repent, turn, change your mindset and give it up for Jesus. Follow Him! Bow your knee and believe.
Church is not a place where you just visit. You become the church! It is a community with the Holy Spirit and Jesus where we share our lives together.
Vision is so important for the church and your life. It is the revelation of God's prophetic unfolding plans across the earth. If you don't see the vision for yourself and the church you wont understand or want to be enthused to see it come to pass.
Joseph wore four different garments showing four aspects of his nature and the nature of Jesus. The very nature that God wants to form in each and everyone of us!
God wants to get involved in your trials, your calling and your impossible situations. Don't look at troubles and sink, look at Jesus and walk!

God is calling us to make a difference despite any unresolved areas in our lives. It is through those challenges that God calls us to trust in Him.
'Beyond' is Gods idea. It is more than an offering - it is a Faith Step. When we give we need to know God is able to go beyond all we ask, hope or dream. We are the catalyst!
The Battle is still on! There is a spiritual warfare in the heavenlies against you and I, against the church. There is a cosmic battle - please don't ignore it!
Does deep call out to deep in you? The river of God can make a difference to you and all those around you. You can ignore it or tune in and hear the sounds of the waterfall.
Each one of us needs to strengthen ourselves in the Lord. No one else can satisfy the deep need of mankind. Make room for Him in your heart and learn to wait upon the Lord daily.

Todays believers need to be 24/7 Christians walking in the fear of God. Learn to overcome seriously bad days by encouraging yourself in the Lord.

If you can get your soul prospering you will be able to handle anything life throws at you with beauty, peace and joy.
We all need to be part of a community. When we play as a team we accomplish so much especially as we get to know each others strengths and weaknesses. There comes a belonging where we compliment each other.
The key to the Presence of God is our hunger. You cannot buy the Presence of God, you must wait on Him, spend time with Him, be desperate for Jesus. He is looking for the hunger, the thirst, the drawing on His Presence.
The gospel is not just supposed to be words. We must have the presence of God mixed with full conviction.
The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity. When the church aspires to Strong Relationships in love to God and each other - look out! It works.
Jesus is the Ulitimate Connector. He walked the earth connecting with different kinds of people, and then died on a cross so the whole of mankind had the opportunity to be connected with Father God. Think about the lonely people around our lives now ....we need to be like Jesus and connect with them.
Community is not natural to our culture, but it is the very design God has for the Church. Church doesn't exist without a genuine relationship with other people.
Church is more that just Sunday meetings. People need to be in families to love and connect - they go together!
Get to know and understand God. In understanding God we are able to praise Him and reach out to our friends and family
The more we know God the more we praise Him and the more we praise Him the more we know Him. Whatever is your thing to praise God - Find it!
Song written and sung by Jess Oldfield 'I'll Face the World But Not Alone' ....There is a divine meeting and divine encounter between God and man. God is watching us waiting for man to connect with Him.
There is always a story for every life - a past that has molded them into what we see now. As Christians we need to be able to look the eyes of a person and see their heart, see the future God sees for them and choose to love them like He does.
What if praying was like talking to a friend that you could totally trust, relax and share your heart - your failures, fears and regrets...

God has a mothers heart, God has a fathers heart. God is collectivley the two. The love of a Christian mother typifies the love of God for his children
When God made man and women they were totally physically, spiritually and emotionally transparent towards each other and God until the fall. Ps Julie Oldfield walks us through their journey, and yes, even our journey with new eyes.
In the Garden of Eden God made everything for the man but the man was still not satisfied. So God made woman the crown of all creation and then He presented her to the man and she stood before him and waited to be chosen. Woman was made to be chosen....
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of heaven. If we shine people will see our God, they will see Christ and get saved. Be careful not to get caught up in the fast moving pace of this world. These are perilous times as technology tries to consume us. We must allow space for God.
We have ancient landmarks of mateship and sacrifice. The Cross is our eternal landmark and it is what the church is all about.
What we now see in the natural, people honouring the Anzacs, in the Spirit people are beginning to lift their gaze even higher realizing Jesus paid that price for our salvation. Yet not limited to our mates. He paid the price for everyone.
As children of God we are supposed to be the most beautiful people on this earth with an inner beauty that comes from the heart, that chooses to love in every situation.

God is a creator - He built the heavens and the earth and is building His purpose in our lives. As we agree with Him and step up to the challenge remembering it is His purpose we are fulfiling and He is the one who will build it we will find great joy and purpose. Be confident in who you are as a child of God and walk in faith and obedience, then watch what God does in and through your life.
The covenant is the fine print of what salvation is!. Do you understand this huge magnificant plan to bless humanity? We should be hugely blessed in all areas of our life! We should be so joyful, so prosperous in our emotions, so blessed in our family life, our marriages our children and so much more!
We all need an encounter with God so we know what we are supposed to do on this earth. No-one in the Bible did anything of significance until after they had an encounter with God. God needs you to take time and stop so you can find Him, hear Him and be filled with love because you are His chosen instrument to carry Jesus name to this lost and lonely world. They need you!
What are we supposed to do with confidence? We often put it in things that are destined to fail rather than putting our confidence in God and God alone.
God wants us to be with Him always. His intention has always been to redeem us and bring us into a loving, intimate and pure relationship with Him. All the covenants throughout history reflect His passion to be with His children. Jesus blood was and is the ultimate, eternal covenant.
You will remain fixed and stable when you dwell in the presence of the Most High God. It wil not stop things happening but it is the place to hide - your secret place where you find stability, predictability, safety...
Society always finds itself in a place where it starts to set people into categories of who is acceptable and who is not. But Jesus came to change the status quo. He went to the cross to prepare a place for you.
Eternity! This is eternal life - that they may know you - God! Teach us to number our days aright so that the favour of God rests on us and that we would use every opportunity to see people saved.
As a Christian, God says we walk by faith and not by sight. The heart of a Christian isn't to look at what is actually here but to go beyond that and see the invisible.
We are all called to testify to the light. People will see that light and be drawn to God. Have a heart that longs to meet Jesus. Pick up the batan, run the race and sow your life as a seed into this earth. It is your destiny!
Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. God is the ultimate visionary. Vision and dreams come from Him. He longs to envision us. Draw near to Him, abide in Him. Let Him reveal, enliven both your personal and corporate church vision.

The Holy Spirit is th Glory Giver!. He sets His heart on making sure Jesus gets the glory and making sure the church gets glorified. He is the most selfless part of God.
Inside every human being there are God given visions, dreams and prophesy. And a hunger for more, more of Him and a desirre to fulful His purposes. God will begin to unravel the gifts, dreams and visions inside your heart and urge you to press in and believe with faith and see them come to pass. Be prepared to make mistakes and start again.
Somehow through the corruption of life we lost that natural instinct to want the presence of God and to even believe and see God. But when God released the Holy Spirit, the anointing, the presense of God upon the church peoples eyes were opened
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. When you see the truth, when you have met with the Holy Spirit you know He is what you have been searching for your whole life.
Would you like the power to overcome sin, temptation and depression? Who would like a supernatural friend that could lead you, guide you, comfort you?

This is a time of standing at the beginning of a new decade. Forgive everything that went down in the last decade and turn towards God into the new day. The great power of Christian Living is being able to forgive people and even forgive God. Forgiving enables you to live in lasting happiness.
As believers we are called to have the Spirit of the Sovereign Lord upon us. That we would be anointed to bring something of the light and love and glory of God to this world. Jesus wanted His deciples to be imitators of Him - to re-present Him. To be clothed in Him.
New Beginnings about a gift from God. God wants us to release faith into this new decade. He wants us fresh, alive and ready to forgive. It is His way, make it ours!
God has created us to need new beginnings. In that place of new beginnings we can release faith, turn true north and see our life of opportunity in God.
There is a hunger beginning to develop again in this land. Aussies are on the brink of needing Jesus every day - Not just Easter and Christmas. Yes, Aussies are going to become desperate for Jesus!
Christmas is about communication form God to the earth. Love came down on Christmas day, Peace came down on Christmas day, Joy cam down on Christmas day. Can you live without any of these?
There are many things to do, many roles to play but when was the last time you just became a son or daughter before the Lord
Faith is not feelings but a resting in God's will. If we can have our minds renewed to the point where we agree with God's word, situations, circumstances, sickness, poverty etc can change for the better...in Jesus name!
The invisible God is made visable through the love of people. If you want to get your friends saved, be a reflection of the love of Jesus to them and share your life with them.
We must keep drinking 'living fresh water'. The deep waters of God are calling you into come and submerge yourself in the river of God.
Faith is not trying to believe something uncertain or even impossible. Faith is being sure and certain. When faith operates the impossible becomes possible. Enter in - Jesus waits at the door!
God has never destined you to fail. He has given you the anointing of God to help you live a victorous and effective life. He has set seven pillars of wisdom that we should all know and grow into.
God sees nothing as difficult and everything as possible. Your miracle is waiting for you. Step into His plan and way. It is not a question of ...'Am I worthy, it is... 'I have decided this is my portion from the Lord'.
God knows what you are facing. He knows everything about you. Does God seem to be asleep in your life? He is trying to get you to use your faith to invade the impossible. That is your defining moment!
A lot of people have good intentions about God. But you need Faith. Faith is an attitude - it is a matter of choice! Do you want to please God? Choose Faith!.
God wants to give you greater hope, more faith and such determination in your heart of hearts through grace. But there is something more than grace that you need. Dymanic Faith! It is time to stand as Kings and Priests for your community, your family, your city using the Word of God. Declare it.
Working out our salvation isn't about God changing us, it is God restoring us to the original model. It is Him lavishing on our lives all the benefits of 'zoe zoe' life (Hebrew word for salvation). It is working in relationship with God to obtain these benefits that Jesus purchased for us at the cross.
God's mind is big and behaviour never lies. We all carry our own tent. The tent of our own thinking, which is far smaller than God's view of things. He wants us to step out of the tent and look to the heavens and begin to live the rich full life He intended for all of us.
God made you to be you. He wants you to be yourself for God love who you are. You do not need to try and be like any other.
What motivates people to do the things they do? A God given Holy Discontent! The deep in God crys out to the deep in you.
God needs to be the centre of our hope. What sort of benefits do you get out of having hope in God? What should you get out of having hope in God? What is our hope in God and how does that maintain our course and stop us from drifting, being sand banked or bashed up on the rocks.
We are living in the last moments of the last days so our hope in God needs to be established and absolutley made sure. People are going to be looking to us for hope, strength and guidance. The very peace we walk in will be a strong witness to the victory of Jesus.
God uses your gift, your tithe, your offering as a prophetic measure, prophetic sign that God's plans to bless you will stand. Invest in the kingdom, buy into reaching the lost - buy up opportunity!
The hope that we have as Christians is for an optimistic outcome. Our hope in God is a sure anchor against the various trials life has to offer.
The helmet of salvation is hope. Hope in our mighty God causes us to look forward and look up. It goes above every circumstance so we can see God.
Trust is a relative of hope. Put your hope and trust in the creator. His unfailing love is sufficient for and superior to death and famine. As you place your hope in God he wil be your help and shield.
You need faith to access the hope God has already given you. Faith is being sure - a principal we enact, but hope is gift already given to us and not moving.
Three things the enemy will try and do to you. Steal your devotion, Kill your future and Destroy your life, but, we win if we follow Jesus for He is faithful and will be with you at every turn
Do we come to church, hear the Word of God; the good news of faith, hope & love; hear the promises of God and then walk away and live according to our circumstances, because we never aggreed with or applied the promises of God to our lives. We can't live the abundant life unless we agree with God and step into the God realm
Words are so powerful. The scriptures talk about words, the power of the tongue and what works can do and say. The bible urges us to pursue the gift of prophesy - yet all of us can use spititual songs and words to speak to one another, daily. It is not hard or for the select few. Be encouraged to exhort and encourage one another in the name of Jesus Christ.
Did you know that you can be filled up so much in the Holy Spirit that you can carry something to give away. That is what God wants us to be - carriers of His anointing!
There is a difference between vulnerability and insecurity. Vulnerabililty - brings us to a place of restful dependence in a loving and good God. It is a gift from God to release His presence, enabling us to step out. Insecurity only allows for unbelief. It is a devil twisting our soul to lower our self esteem and cause us to focus on our weaknesses.
How do you describe a love that fills your being to the point that you want to burst? How do you describe God who comes to you and lives inside of you and through you....
We all need to get a personal revelation of our Father God. Father, in greek means protector, nourisher and upholder...
"Right desires with a right spirit will put you in the right place at the right time to fulfill destiny" (Ps Brian Houston)
Life is a never ending cycle of decisions that can altar the entire direction of our destinies. How liberating it would be if we had access to the eternal compass that would fix the direction of our lives to true north.
Disciples are christians who know God and open up every area of their lives to the influence of God's Word. They are obedient to God and watch God work through their faith being worked out in their daily lives. Everyone can be a Can Do person. It is a choice!
'You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you'. We all need to wait on God and let Him come upon you, then go out full of the power of God to do all He has asked you to do.
We overcome the powers of darkness by two things. The blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
A miracle can happen in your life today that will take you to a different place you have never known before. God can work in thirty second moments. One moment you are not going to heaven, then one prayer and you are going to heaven. One moment you have cancer and then you have prayer and you no longer have cancer.
It is time to pay the price for the greater realms of the glory of Christ. The pearl of great price does not come from a place of contentment. God wants us to go to that deep place of mystery where hidden treasures are received from God.
It is not by living the principals of life that we have an overcoming, ruling and reigning life. It is by the revelation of God and intimacy with God. Live the A plan God has predestined for you, and succeed!
Do you want to be successful, to accomplish the dreams God has placed in your life? Unless you understand the meaning of life itself, you will be searching and striving, never satisfied.
Hang on to your God dream until it becomes something. Get rid of the beliefs that are in the shadows - spirits of doubt and mockery!
What do we do when we leave church on Sunday? Do we live the abundant life that connects the world to Jesus? It is time to close the gap!
Don't be afraid to dream big dreams. Dreams that are outside what is comfortable, normal and expected of you.
If we would just come to God and taste what He has for us we would want more and more of Him. God is the greatest treasure you will ever find. Desire Him!
God's top shelf desire and intension is to build His Church. He wants to reveal His manifested glory, purpose and plans not only to the land but to the heavenlies.
Faith is what we all need. Everyone has been given a measure of faith when we are born in order to receive Christ as our Saviour but his is not enough to live a fully functional and effective life for Christ. We need to work our faith daily. We need dynamic faith! We are called to exercise and grow our faith by releasing our faith words into any given situation to clear the way and make a way for God to come in and bless, reconcile and heal.
Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so you can prove what is the good and acceptable will of God. Your life should prove God is good. Take time to read the bible and renew your mind. Reflect Jesus by living God's way!
God was never amazed at the things we do. He was only amazed by a persons faith. Faith is far more than talk - it is a trigger to release the divine and is the key to a relationship with God. God is counting on your faith to help build His church. Arise!
The future belongs to those that dare to dream beyond what is seen. Rise & Build is not actually about a building but about a harvest of people. Step into The Sacrifice, The Faith, The Commitment and work it being diligent and persistent.

The Church is about building strong men and women so we can wage a war against the works of darkness. We need to be able to break through with the wisdom and anointing for Jesus Christ.

God is calling us to be wise, anointed and prosperous in our lives so that we would have much to give away for the building of the kingdom.

As followers of Jesus we hear God's voice. The God of the universe knows us - how awesome is that! It is a lie of the Devil to say that we can't hear God. He is committed to you and wants to strengthen you. He is for you all the way, always wanting to increase your faith in Him.
God has given everyone a measure of faith, it is more precous than gold. It is our rocket fuel for getting through life. By continuing to walk with God in faith through all the circumstances of life you come to a place when you don't just believe Jesus is Lord, you KNOW Jesus is Lord.
When you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, Father God zones in on you and wants to be with you. He wants to remind you - 'I am your Father, you are my son, my daughter.' He loves you. Believe in His love, believe He will not leave you or abandon you. Trust Him!
Our God is our destination! Many still haven't found or know what they are looking for. Even after being saved we still find ourselves searching Him out, like the pearl of great price. He is the treasure we are seeking, we can never get enough of Him. If you don't know God you spend your life searching out the things of this world but it is futile and will never satisfy. Rather, seek out Jesus, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Would you let your mind contemplate God? Set your heart on a journey! Yes, it is a narrow way - but it is the right way.
The Lord's unfailing love surrounds all who trust in Him. Lord help us to walk in faith and recklessly trust you in every situation.

Through intense pain and anxiety Jesus thought about you and me and said to the Father 'Not my will, but yours be done'! A decision that would cost Him His life.
Believe, not because of what someone else has said but believe because you 'know' Jesus personally. You 'know' He is with you, loves you, and covers you with grace and mercy. It is that 'knowing' that makes all the difference.
Can you honestly see in the Spirit? Seeing and perceiving what God wants you to see? Repentance allows us to see the way - see the Glory and the love of Christ in it's length, depth and width.

God is a Good Dad! In His wisdom He allows us to go through tragedies because the most meaningful relationships are formed in those times. It is in these times you become willingly dependant on God. His desire is that you be close to Him, leaning on Him. He wants to help and guide and lead you through this life knowing that no matter what, all things will work out together for good! Not only for you but for those around you.

Expect them - expect to be woken up, if not today, this year!
Make your life count - today and forever!. Live for vision of the harvest - live above the temporal. Allow God to flow out through you and the Gospel and the Word of God.
If our whole life and our whole ministry was for one person, would it of been worth it when we stand before The Father on that Final Day? When that person stands next to you looking into His eyes then looking into yours, then you would know that if it wasn't for you that person would not be in the kingdom. Yes - we would do it all again for that! Sow everything we have, our whole lives and all that we own. God does not want anyone to perish. We need to let go of our fears, step out to save people who are perishing and rescue the lost in Jesus name.
We should always be living like we are on a mission but not here to stay. Jesus is preparing a place for us with Him and longs for us to be with Him but He has to wait because there are many, more who need to be with us on that day!
In order to have a real relationship with God and be effective in witnessing and ministering to the world, you need to hand over every area of your life. Areas that may have developed into idols. You can't effectively minister with a divided heart!

One night in a vision that lasted 3 hours the Lord revealed to Nigel the Spiritual Birth (Born Again) is a blueprint of the Natural Birth. In this Evangelistic message titled 2 Births 1 Author Nigel shares some of these incredible parallels which removes any doubt as to whether we need both births and as you share this message with those who are lost or backslidden you will lead them to Jesus.
Know your Calling, be an Achiever and have vision for the Harvest. Hear the distinct call from God to you personally. It will give you definition and vision for living. Don't miss your calling or you will miss God

The bible says without a vision we perish and that is because without direction, without goals, without something to look forwards to - what is there? Praise God! God has a dream and a vision for every person, not just the few. Draw near to God, see what He has for you. Prepare for it. Believe it, dream it. Begin to live it day by day. Press past all the obstacles and put downs that come your way. God uses them as refining fires to bring forth His dream and His purpose in your life. And it is good!
God is wanting to apprehend your heart and cause you to come away with Him so He can give you a true intention to believe in the dream called church. Church is a wild idea of God, that He can reconcile a group of people together to be a mighty force of good, praying God's kingdom down. Renew your mind every day in the Word of God. Remember and focus on what God wants for you and those around you. Live the adventure that is the Church! Live the anointed Life - be the living church that draws others towards God and His Bride - The Church
You have to have something solid to build upon as you walk forward in God. The Word of God is your anchor. Lean on God, read your prophesies, build yourself up in your faith.

Holy Spirit was given to be a witness - a witness of your personal experience with God. We are called to bear witness to our experiences with God.

Don't hold back, despite what the enemy tells you, 77% of people who visit church come because of your witness and invitation to come.
All people are called to ministry and all have God given gifts and talents. Your ministry may not be on the pulpit at church but it is vital for the building of the church. We all come together and play our part with one purpose and one goal - to be a witness for Christ and make disciples
Before you can effectively witness God you must know at the deepest level that He is a Good God, a God of love, and a God wanting to bless you and all mankind extravagantly. This experiential knowledge of God empowers you with enough faith and boldness to confidently share about Christ's love for them.
God is recruiting men into His Church all over the earth because men are a stabilizing force carrying weight bearing foundations that keep the church vital, responsive and growing. The measure of the growth of a church will often depend of the growth of the men in numbers and stature who attend and hold up the Church and it's leaders. Men are vital for the Kingdom to flourish, but not only in the Church, also in families
God wants His Church to be real. In order to the real we need to carry the heart of God, for it is the heart of God that people need. It is the heart of God that loves and brings life transformation.

You were made by God for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense. Everyone's life in in His power. Live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me - It is time for us to step into the anointing that breaks yokes, heals the sick, sets captives free. How do we do this?

Don't live your life in God by your soul. You must know the voice of God and hear what God is saying to you personally. Fasting is a key element of building your relationship with God. Grace will come, clouds will move and you will encounter Jesus.
The everpresent focus of God's activity is to guide us into oneness with Himself. Yet, the sense of distance that we feel between us and God is real sometimes to all of us.As we approach these days of the soon return of Jesus Christ, the Lord shall begin to remove the walls that are between us and Him through the annointing and the Word of God.

He has summoned you, called you to take your place in the building of His Kingdom. Position yourself, be accountable, be ready! Let the vision/prophetic word come to life in you - the Church
We plan our lives but God wants to direct our steps. God has a plan to see that we receive our inheritance which is both spiritual and physical. Everyone of us needs to be planted in the place God has chosen. As we flourish He releases the promised inheritance for you and the generations. Your inheritance is far greater than you. It reaches to the nations.
To live your life successfully as a Christian you must shine your light. But how do you do that?
Don't let yourself be limited by your own ability. Rely on the power of God which is unlimited. Nothing is impossible for you with God. Spend your life crossing over your own limitations.
Our covenantal blessing will never be realized without being where God calls us to be. God has a plan to see that we possess and secure our inheritance. Study the Word of God. Find out what God has said and what He has committed himself to do for you.
For so many years the church has been focusing on strongholds in the negative. But there are strongholds/promises in the Word of God that we need to live in.

No matter what you hear or think, say 'Nevertheless I will declare the promise of God!'.....+ Take back your blessing...you are called to live in your inheritance.
Hope is one of the most beautiful, yet gritty, yet strongest words. It is an anchor to our soul. Without hope we lack endurance. If you have lost hope or it is shifting remember God. His Word and His promises for your life.
We are encouraged to go forth and conquer. Don't camp around the giants or compromise with the giants. You will be trapped and bring forth no fruit for the Kingdom of God
Women are incredible creatures. When God made woman in the garden He presented her as a gift. Her most vital role was to make life better for the man. But there has been a mix up of the roles of man and woman.
There is nothing predictable or domesticated about what God does. The Church has the constant temptation to package, define and hold under who God is and what He is doing. The CCC movement is all about letting God be God and allowing His Presence and Power permeate all of our lives.
There are people who need to see miracles and they are not seeing them. Where is the Chruch? The Lord is calling His Church back to the simplicity of the Gospel. Draw very close to Him, gain your strength from Him. Don't let fear and intimidation shut God down in your life. It is your life that God wants to use to bring Revival.
The Church is in Transition! Break out of the norm. Get conected to God. Engage this wonderful Life. Remove the boundaries that have been placed around our lives limiting God. If you want the reality of the Kingdom you've got to have enduring perservering faith.
If you don't understand what happened at the cross you will never live out of your inheritance. The cross compels you to know the Word so you bring Life to others
