We are a part of something glorious, powerful, and undefeatable. It is not created by the will of man. It is not established by our great intellects and ingenuity. It is of God. Hell cannot prevail against it. Jesus said, “I will build my church” and here we are. We are a manifestation of God. This series will teach you what the church is and what it is not. You will not only learn why we are to gather but also what the people of God are to do when assembled in His name. This teaching will help you make the most out of something that is to be the “norm” in the christian’s life and also to have a great impact on the world around us.

Because God has given all believers the ministry of reconciliation - that is, the message that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself - we should all be prepared to answer and even defend the hope that is in us. We should know why we believe what we believe and be able to logically and articulately explain why we are the way we are and do what we do. People often don’t even know the real problem and so cannot ask the right questions. This series will give you some of the tools you need to be ready with answers.

There are many similarities between physical and spiritual growth. We learn from seeing babies grow to adulthood some of the characteristics of spiritual growth.
The mature keep pressing on – knowing that there is more they don’t know and for them to walk in. The carnal are filled with envy, strife, and divisions.
How is your life going? Spiritually speaking, is it going up or down? Are you getting better or worse? Are you growing worse, weary or wanton? Is your love for God growing cold or getting stronger each day?
Jesus found Himself in the scriptures. He was defined by God. The purpose of His life was established by God. It is important for us to also discover ourselves in Christ and find out what God has in mind concerning our lives.
We are not old sinners saved by grace. We are new creations in Christ. To the degree that we think, believe, and act like who we are in our spirits, we will experience the life of Christ in our body.
We can identify with Christ or the flesh. In Him we are all that He is. We are a new creation. Old things have passed away and all things are now new and of God.
Have you ever wished you could go back and do some things different in your life? Is there anything you would like to erase – and therefore not be define by it going forward? God's desire is to work in our lives so we have with His strength, health, etc.
Isaiah 53:1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? - The answer to the second question is the same as the first. The arm of the Lord is revealed to those who believe the report.
Once a connection is established, the transfer of information, power, and supply of God is normal. There is simply a need to know that the message got though. This guarantees a response.
There are a few basic truths that will enable us to have a dynamic, life altering experience with God in prayer. What many do in the name of prayer actually reveals the absence of a connection with God.
Prayer is simply communication with God but is necessary for the Christian life. Many have given up for lack of success but Jesus always spoke of prayer in absolute terms - we always get what we ask. There is both a legal and relational side to prayer.
Once we have dedicated our lives to doing the will of God, we must simply continue until the end. We must stay the course. There are, however, various obstacles that we must deal properly with to avoid getting off track.
What will your belief cause you to do? How can you turn your back on your current condition – making it null and void of power over you? This teaching about the formerly blind Bartimaeus will show how living faith will act.
It is possible to serve God in an unacceptable way. Service could be below the expected standards. We should do whatever we do for God with the highest quality possible.
You have a ministry. It is of God. It is for God. It is recognize by God. It is rewarded by God. Knowing that what we do is not contingent upon man - approving, recognizing, appreciating, etc., will help us to pass every test of obedience.
Are you available to God? Does He have access to your life, time, and abilities? Many are missing the opportunities that He brings and continue to wait for some special move of God. Now is the time to quit making excuses and act!
All of us are loved by God but not all of us are useable. We must take the proper steps to make ourselves available and then be active in doing things that create practical value. Would anyone notice if you were gone?
One of the biggest hinderances to fulfilling God’s will for your life is your own will. Each person must want the will of God more than they want their own will to be done. What if everyone in the church did as you do?
We were created in Christ for the purpose of doing good things. God's work in our hearts is to that end - that we would have a desire to live a life filled with beneficial deeds. All that God has provided and enabled us to do should be utilized for Him.
The Christian life can be described as both easy and hard. We are instructed to fight the good fight of faith. Scripture not only teaches the "rest" of faith, but also that we must have strength, discipline, effort and endurance.
Once a person has an understanding of true love, they must focus on abiding in it at all times. This teaching covers four principles to follow to keep oneself in the love of God.
Physical problems are not the will of God, His method of teaching, punishment, nor are they waiting on God to heal. Faith for healing is seen in how a person calls on the Lord, receives His word and responds to His instruction.
True love does not deliberately keep records of wrongs or past mistakes. This is the most basic tenet of Christianity. We have been forgiven and so we forgive others.
As New Testament believers, we are instructed to pay people what we owe them. Love does no harm to its neighbor and therefore will own up to wrong actions done toward them. The self-seeking person will put the onus on others to forgive.
Jesus didn't always couch His corrections in positive statements of reinforcement. In love, He went straight to the heart of people's problems so their lives could be made right. Only then could they experience God's best.
God has given us the right and ability to agree or disagree with Him. We agree with Him by saying about ourselves what He says. Many people interrupt the flow of God's healing power with their opposing words.
Jesus didn’t back down or shrink back in fear from those who threatened Him. He also used strong words toward religious hypocrites. True love must be strong and willing to do what is right for others.
It is possible for one to be angry and be right – and justified in feeling that way. In order to love one thing, one must hate the opposite. Being in God's love means that we are opposed to whatever opposes Him.
Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. A lover of self will withhold the truth rather than deal with the potential fallout of speaking it. True love will speak the truth - at the right time and the right way.
True Love does not demand, force, pressure, or insist on its own ways. God is not being demanding with us but gives us grace to grow and develop.
We are not saved by grace but then healed by works. We are healed by Jesus' stripes and there is nothing we can do to add to or take away from this fact. Often the harder we try the further we get from our healing. Healing is already yours in Christ.
Although God's love for us is a constant and nothing can separate us from it, we are still told to keep ourselves in this love. Do you know what God thinks about you? The benefits to abiding in His love are great!
If a person, in pursuit of God, will deny the world and the flesh, they will discover spiritual life. Unbelief, in part, is a result of being too fleshly minded.
In a timely message, Pastor Mark addresses this cultural hot-button issue with compassion without compromising truth.
There are circumstances that require an absolute faith in God's word void of any unbelief. When a negative report comes, refuse to fear and keep your focus on the victory promised by God.
The unbelief in the hearts of Jesus' hometown people was rooted in offense. Their rejection of Him was a rejection of God. Likewise, today people stop God from working by their fleshly views of His vessels.
Unbelief in the heart is a very serious condition and should be dealt with accordingly. It can exist as a result of ignorance or rebellion. There is a remedy for both.
Jesus was basically shut down in his hometown. There is also a way for you to stop God's power and blessings from effecting your life. You may experience small blessings but be hindering the really good stuff.
There is power present to heal everyone of everything wrong. However, not all are accessing this power. Some choose to question and look for reasons to remain the same while others accept God's word and act.
We have a choice as to how we will respond to the present power of God. Healing is God's will for all. When we hear the Word of God, we can choose to accept it or question it.
Part time Christians fail. At some point, you must go all in. That’s where God is. When we give with the proper motives and for the right reasons - and do it as a lifestyle, the blessings of God will surely flow into our lives.
If a person gets his attitude toward money straightened out, then almost all other areas of his life will be straightened out. Both prosperity and poverty begin, not in one's bank account, but in the soul.
You cannot serve God and the god of money at the same time. Adoration for one feeds contempt for the other. This is a serious issue for the one who wants to walk with God. Money is looking for servants but we must rule over it.
Putting God and His kingdom first is the master key to financial blessing and prosperity. Giving the first tenth to the Lord is a step of faith that enables His provision to flow into our lives.
The blessing of God is available to all and can be accessed by faith. This begins by doing the right thing with what God calls the least - our money. This foundation sets us up to enter into the true riches that He provides.
There is a power from God designed to heal the sick. It is not only necessary but also available to all today. It flows toward the needs of anyone who will believe in it.
What about the judgment of God? Many are confused as to Old Testament accounts of judgment versus the life and ministry of Jesus and His mercy and kindness.
We all know about Joseph and Mary; the Inn of Bethlehem; the manger; the angels; the shepherds; the star; the wise men. Obscure and often overlooked, buried in Matthew’s genealogy and leading up to the birth of Christ are four women.
One of the ways that we will avoid the pitfalls of this world and the devil’s traps is to simply be led by the Holy Spirit. Failure to learn to follow God's leading or intentionally ignoring it will cost us.
There are spiritual laws in place that govern the world in which we live. They effect both sinner and saint. If we will understand them, we can avoid much harm and benefit from their existence.
Much is said to try and explain suffering and tragedy. The problem with much of this is the absence of discussion about the devil and his destructive acts. He is defeated but still must be resisted by us.
When the apostle Paul preached the gospel, it resulted in people being healed. Likewise, when we here the good news, it will produce faith for healing.
If we will be equipped with the knowledge of how life and death works, we can experience God’s goodness continually. People often wonder why they are suffering while ignoring that fact that they have done nothing with the “sayings of Jesus.”
Just like a person must learn in order to be successful in a career, we must have a spiritual education to be successful in life as a Christian. One reason many suffer needlessly is because of a lack of knowledge.
In His omnipotence, could God have set limitations upon Himself when it comes to involvement in the earth? There are many things that happen each day that do not have any direct intervention of God. Natural and spiritual laws work continually.
God is not good one day and bad the next. There is a distinct separation between who God is and what He does versus what often happens in the earth. Many have believed that God is in control of everything but this teaching will fix that.
A failure to see that God is good will put a wedge between you and Him. God has been falsely accused of many things but when seen clearly, each person will be drawn closer to Him.
Being convinced is necessary to experience God and His promises. This message will show you some of the main truths that each person should be convinced of.
Too many Christians live in the land of theory. They can quote scripture and explain a truth but don’t have any real world experience. Only when we use what we have does it really become ours.
The most common way that people become convinced is through the personal revelation that comes through the Holy Spirit. When the light is turned on, faith is present. We all need to hear the anointed word of God in order to change our beliefs.
One of the most influential testimonies to Christianity was when Saul of Tarsus, perhaps Christianity’s most rabid antagonist, became the Apostle Paul. His dramatic turn around is a convincing proof of what He taught.
What we believe is key to what we experience in life. God has given us much evidence to the validity of scripture and its primary claims. The eye-witness testimony of those who gave their lives to maintain their stand is very convincing.
The word of God reveals that He dwells in us individually and corporately. God will also use natural things that are dedicated to His purposes. This message was for the dedication of the new Life Church building.
The conviction of truth in one's heart can be so dramatic that it not only receives promises, protection, and great deliverance, but it will also cause a person to put up with serious discomfort - by choice! This level of being convinced is needed today.
Throughout history, those who led extraordinary lives were those who became convinced of something. They knew what needed to be done. They were persuaded as to what they were supposed to do. This removes condemnation and enables bold forward steps.
God has placed before us the choice between sickness and healing. When a person makes up their mind that they will be healed, there is nothing that can keep it away. It is God's plan. It is of Him that walk in perfect health.
What about the law? Is it something that relates to our lives today? Are there laws outside of the law of Moses? What about obedience, submission, and repentance? This second part in a series will answer these questions and more!
Like with many Bible truths, people have a tendency to get leave the "middle of the road" and get off into a ditch. This first of a two part teaching will explain some of the errors that some have gotten into with the message of grace.
We have a choice. We can worry about our lives or we can set our attention on the Lord and His kingdom. The first doesn't help at all. The second guarantees that our needs will be met.
A law that everyone should be aware of is that of giving and receiving. When we give, it comes back to us multiplied. There are various types of offerings mentioned in the Bible - one kind is what we might call a public offering.
God is continually working in us so that we want what pleases Him. We must cooperate with Him and choose to make Him the source of our every need.
Although most people will acknowledge that God is strong and able to do all things, they live as if He is weak. They show great respect to the power of disease and accident to harm even though this worship is shouting out that God is weak.
One can desire and ultimately obtain things that are harmful to life. The word of God shows us what we should desire and seek after and what we should avoid.
Our life consists of what we want and seek for andwhat we don't want and don't pursue. Each person must determine what they will intentionally hate. It is the combination of loving righteousness and hating lawlessness that brings the oil of gladness.
Whatever is in your heart in large quantity will show up in your life. You cannot just control your mouth and actions. Changing the contents of the heart will produce changed desires and therefore different results in life.
What you want in life is a very big key to what you will get. Those who seek find. If one seeks and finds what is good, life will get better. Whatever a person is full of will be the source of their fulfillment or "thrill" in life.
Once a person understands the reality of what already is, the only thing left is appropriation. It is getting what is in the spirit into the physical realm. We must take what belongs to us by faith!
When a person realizes the finished work of Christ as it pertains to their life they stop working, stressing, and trying to do what is already done. We are complete in Him. We have all the necessary parts. There is nothing else to do but appropriate.
Many have viewed God as someone who is inactive towards our needs. He has not shown Himself as one who doesn't act but as one who does. He is the Lord that heals you.
Much of the Body of Christ lives in a state of waiting on God to do something for them. Is He ignoring us or has he already given all we need? Do we need more power, grace, and love or has God already moved and we simply need to appropriate?
Because of so much misunderstanding of the finished work of Christ and the present tense possession of redemption, many believers are waiting on God. Their error is in thinking their victory will come. All we need is already a finished work.
It is a great tragedy that so many good things that God has done in us doesn't get any exposure. For various reasons many have concealed what should be revealed. When we act on what we have, know and can do, God shows up in a powerful way!
Many are tempted to do something else for God besides what He told them to do. They will make sacrifices when He values simple obedience. Even under the New Covenant of grace, obedience is still a high priority with God and is key to the life of faith.
People are often tempted to sacrifice the honor of their name for financial gain. In God's value system, our reputation for godliness and integrity is of far greater worth than riches. Your name is created by who you are and what you do.
One big reason so many people fail to receive their healing form the Lord is the existence of a backup plan. Jesus did not speak using terms like, "maybe, it might happen, we'll give it a try, etc." God's word to us is absolute. It works every time.
Many in this world would advocate the wrong solution to desires that men and women have for each other. For some it is "free love" and for others, "consenting adults." God's way is marriage. When done the right way, we can enjoy the benefits.
Because we live in a fallen world, sometimes sickness and problems come our way without permission. We must learn the appropriate response and act immediately to resist.
The quality of life that one experiences is connected to their association with the local church. It is better to spend one day in God's house than a thousand anywhere else. God's blessing shows up when we dwell there.
Many pursue the accumulation of wealth their entire lives. However, there is a better way. In God's priority system, the value of wisdom far outweighs the value of wealth. As we pursue the former, the latter will follow but not the other way around.
The Word of God tells us that we have been given a better covenant established upon better promises. Why is it that so many people gravitate towards the old inferior way of relating to God? This teaching will inspire and inform you how to walk in the be
Believing and acting on the power that resides in the name of Jesus will access the healing power of God for the physical body.
There is a way that seems right to a man but the end leads to death. As we adapt our thinking and behavior to match God's, we find what is better. His loving kindness is better than anything we could ever experience in life without it.
What we do and think does not change God's love for us, but it will change our love for Him. In order to draw close to the Lord, we must resist the devil and submit to God.
There is a way for every Christian to be filled with all the fullness of God. It will not come by chance but by following specific prayer instructions set forth in the Word.
One cannot be spiritual occasionally and expect good results. In order to be adept at anything, you must give time and attention to that thing. Your spirit needs activity.
The new covenant way to relate to God is in spirit and truth. This is the only way that worship gets through. Everything else is flesh and ineffectual. We must maintain the simplicity that is in Christ to make this relationship work.
We are not bodies, but spirits that live in bodies. God is spirit and He created us with an ability to relate to Him in the spirit. We must stop trying to have a physical relationship with God. We have spiritual eyes and ears.
People don't experience what is real, only what they perceive to be real. Unfortunately, most have believed that life, as they know it, is all there is. We must open our eyes to the reality of what is - God, the spirit, and life lived in Him.
One of the biggest hinderances to intimacy and awareness of God is allowing the many distractions of this age to keep us from focusing on Him. We must become single minded a press on to the real reason for our existence.
The Bible gives us specific instructions as to what we are to do if sickness attacks our bodies. No one is sick because God failed to heal them. We simply must act on the Word and appropriate what He has provided.
Jesus defined eternal life as knowing God. This reveals that we will never experience the God-level quality of life until we know Him by experience. God is not a book, a list, a system, or a set of principles. He is a person who wants to be close to us.
God's presence is complete joy and holy pleasure. There is nowhere better to be. We have been invited to come but we must come according to the prescribed method. It is the only sure way to success.
Your relationship with God is not your idea. Every positive step we have made toward Him was initiated by Him. He knew us before we were born and has drawn us to Himself. Now when we draw near to Him, He is invited to come close to us.
There are laws that govern both the physical and spiritual realms. One of those is what can be called, "seedtime and harvest" or "sowing and reaping." This message will prepare you to believe and receive God's best for the coming year.
When we have a proper understanding and practice of church ministry, there will be a spreading of God's word and multiplication of disciples.
Jesus is called Immanuel, meaning, God with us. He came, took care of business, and stayed by His Spirit. Now He will never leave or forsake us. This message will teach you what God's presence in your life will do.
Preparation is key to success and necessary to experience our full potential. God's plan for growth in His church is tied to each person being in the right place and doing their share.
Have you been suffering from some form of sickness, disease, or injury? No matter how long it has existed in your body, know this: It doesn't have to be that way. You can be healed today!
The walk that God has called us to is not just in relation to how we are personally affected by right or wrong behavior. We are supposed to be mindful of those around us - in order to make the most of every opportunity.
An often overlooked teaching in the New Testament is that we are not just told to follow Christ but to follow our leaders. God designed that we would have flesh and blood examples of what the Christian life should look like.
One of the most foundational necessities for the Christian life is the knowledge of how to walk by faith. All that God has provided by His grace must be received by faith. This message will teach you six things that are not faith.
One important key to getting more light (revelation; understanding; direction) from the Lord is to walk in the light that you already have. Ignoring what you know can be a dangerous thing to do. It will lead to darkness.
Many people are trying to stop certain behaviors in their lives. Unfortunately, they continually fail at this nobel desire. The Bible gives us the solution. It is called walking in the spirit. When achieved, the lusts of the flesh have no power.
If you have struggled to receive the healing the Jesus provided, follow this prescription and you will be healed.
Many times we can find out what to do by identifying what not to do. The Apostle Paul used this approach when writing to believers about their Christian walk.
It is possible to have a new life but not walk in it. We are told to avoid walking as the world does in the futility of their mind. Our new life in Christ must effect our thinking to the point where we walk different.
The love of God that we are to walk in is so misunderstood in our world and even among many Christians. It is shown in perfection when Jesus gave His life for ours. It is completely unselfish and only seeks the good others.
Numerous scriptures in the Bible instruct us as to how we are to walk. Many have existed with a limp or even a crawl. Walking in unity with others in the Body of Christ is of primary importance to the Lord.
Many people are confused about what the Bible says concerning the assurance of salvation and man's ability to accept or reject the Lord. This teaching will give you a balanced and Biblical answer to the question, "Can salvation be lost?"
Everyone has an appointment to give an account for the things done in the body. Eternal judgement is different for the believer and the unbeliever. One is about reward and loss while the other is about punishment.
There are three resurrections we should all be knowledgeable of. Two involve the believer while the other is only for unbelievers. These basic foundational truths are necessary to build upon.
Many people have unanswered questions regarding receiving healing from Lord. In this message, Pastor Mark answers some of these including, "Why are some unable to receive healing," and "Should we wait for a manifestation of our healing?"
Many people have unanswered questions regarding receiving healing from Lord. In this message, Pastor Mark answers some of these including, "Why are some unable to receive healing," and "Should we wait for a manifestation of our healing?"
One of the first principles in the Bible is called the Doctrine of Baptisms. This message will teach you about the four New Testament baptisms that we should all experience.
Faith toward God is being confident of what He has said that He will do. We never want to confuse this with a generic "belief in God." Having knowledge of what God has specifically promised is a prerequisite to this first principle.
Many have fallen prey to the enemies lies. They are deceived into believing things that are not true and therefore taken captive - not being able to live in freedom.
The act of turning from dead works and putting faith toward God is really one motion. We must become firmly persuaded of truths from God's word.
There are certain principles that are designated as “first” and must be given priority so that we can move on into those truths that will bring us to maturity.
One thing that must be clear in the minds of all who want to be healed is that sickness is a work of the devil. It is not God's plan, nor is He using it for His purposes.
We are not told to try to do the will of God. With the command comes the grace to fulfill it. In order to be used of God we must have willingness, ability, and availability.
Like the "rich young ruler" it is not uncommon for people to do many things right but leave a critical area of their life outside of their dedication to God.
Many Old Testament events and ordinances are prophetic types and shadows of things to come. We can see healing for the physical body concealed through some of these and revealed in Jesus on the cross.
We should not go through life without throwing our "weight" behind something that God is doing in the earth. There are God-ordained ministries that are making a difference for eternity. Which one is yours...that you have put your whole self into?
Many people today are very quick to disconnect from one obligation and move on to something else. The believer's in the early church had a self devotion to the things of God and didn't require a continual external motivation.
Some are unable to stand on their own in a difficult time due to the fact that they have not done what is necessary to stregthen their stance.
How we behave and conduct ourselves at church will create an atmosphere for great, mediocre, or undesirable things to happen. In this message, Pastor Mark shares 10 "types of church" that he doesn't want to be a part of.
It is important that we all know how to stay in "the game." We must do what is necessary to strengthen ourselves when challenges come.
The reason we can live free from curses like sickness is because we have been redeemed from the curse of the law. Now, when we rest in Jesus' finished work, there is nothing to disqualify us from the blessings of God.
What you are focused on will determine whether or not you will recognize what God is saying to you.
There will always be obstacles in life and opportunities to go the wrong direction. When a person is sure of his or her calling, they will not stumble or be moved away from it.
Hope is a confident and favorable expectation. We should all have a constant expectation for our lives to improve and experience all that God has provided - including healing for the physical body!
The God kind of love is often confused and substituted with human love. This message will not only show the importance of walking in God's love but describe how it is vastly different than the typical behavior of most people.
Luke 24:27 "And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." The Bible is a book about Jesus - concealed in the OT but revealed in the New.
One vital component to a fruitful life is recognizing who is related - in the family of God - and showing them love and kindness.
Many people who want to move forward in life are being held back by certain connections. At times, we must "cut the cord" with certain people, ideas, and activities in order to advance to that next place that God has for us.
From the very beginning we were created to be like God. Now, after the fall and subsequent redemption, we are still designed to be like Him. In all of our thoughts, words and actions we should imitate God. This is certain to make us fruitful.
Many people don't realize that whether or not they are healed is not a matter of God choosing to or not to heal. There are laws that govern the kingdom of God. If we will learn them and cooperate with them, the power of God will flow to us every time.
A person's faith will only last as long as their perseverance. It is their ability to continue to stand and do the will of God. New Testament writers placed such a high value on perseverance that they would be willing to face trials to increase it!
One characteristic of the last days is that many would be without self-control. This comes as a result of minding and therefore giving dominance to the flesh. This message will teach you how to overcome a carnal life and gain control of 7 vital areas.
What have you learned lately? What area of ignorance has been replaced by knowledge? If we don’t know what God has done for us, we will not be able to take advantage of it. We must have knowledge in order to be fruitful for God.
The Bible tells us exactly what we need to do in order to be fruitful and never fall. Many people lack the quality and attitude of excellence that is needed to live a fruitful and productive life.
What is the fruit of the Christian life? What evidence is there that you are saved - that God is in your life? We don't need any more phony baloney Christians. We need those who will represent Jesus in a genuine, authentic way.
Believer's who bear much fruit are not those who visit the Lord when they have need. They are those who remain in Him at all times. They are branches that are dependent upon the sustenance of the vine.
From the very beginning God has desired that mankind bear fruit. This is much different from just going to church or being saved. Many people waste their life away with nothing to show for it but God will help you to be productive!
We are told in Ephesians 5 not to walk as fools but as wise. This is very much related to making the most of every opportunity. God needs each of us to be in the "game." No one is called to simply observe or cheer. We must get the "play" and run it!
Many people are in the habit of doing nothing for God. He called us not just to be with Him but to then do something in His kingdom. It is through our actions that we create opportunities for others to experience the transforming love of Christ.
Of vital necessity to the Christian's ability to live for and fulfill God's plan is the Spirit filled life. Many have relegated this part of God's will to a secondary position or even ignore it all together but we are told to be continually filled with
The second of four things that we highly value @ Life Church is our connections with one another. This is a very big subject in the New Testament and we should recognize, honor, and value every God-established relationship in our lives.
We should all do what we do for a reason as opposed to being blown through life by the winds of our surroundings. At Life Church we value certain things. Being grounded in the word of God is a necessary part of experiencing the life of God in your life.
Many people question God's will when it comes to their physical healing. We only have record of one person doing this with Jesus during His earthly ministry and He emphatically let the guy know that He was willing.
It is important to know what not to do so that we don't hinder our faith in doing what we should do. The life of faith is one of profound dedication to God. It lives to see His purposes established in the earth.
Maybe Santa is checking his list to see if you've been naughty or nice but Jesus didn't not come to condemn the world but to save!
God has shown us in His word that are faith is to be not just in Him, but directed specifically to certain areas. This message will teach you what we are to believe.
Agreement with God is a vital part of the faith life. We are told to hold fast to our confession - meaning that we must continually say the same thing. God never changes and so we should also be faithful with our words.
Message from Believer's Meeting. Is it your goal to just do something or are you determined to do the right thing?
Faith is not something that happens to you but a choice you make once the light of God's word is present. The double-minded wavering that many have keeps them from receiving anything from God.
Jesus gave us a tremendous promise concerning our ministry to the sick. He said that He would work with us as we preach the word of God and that we would lay hands on the sick and they would recover.
Do we have faith or do we need faith? The answer is yes! It is a part of the born-again spirit but we need the revelation of God's word for it to influence our lives.
Many people are trying to operate in faith without having a proper foundation. We should be able to give chapter and verse for what we believe about God and what He will do for us.
We must be able to answer specific questions as to the nature and will of God in order to walk by faith. Faith comes from knowing what God has said about any given circumstance.
Living by faith is not just about believing, it is an issue of the specifics of our belief. Believing that God exists is one thing, but believing that He rewards those who seek Him is another.
Many have not recognized the need to live by faith - at all times and in all areas of life. They have become accustomed to living a natural sight-led life because they lack a consciousness of the unseen.
Is it possible to serve God in an unacceptable manner? If we are told to serve God acceptably, then we must learn how to serve and not just what we are to do.
None of us were designed to do the job alone. As individual parts of the Body of Christ, we are each supposed to supply what is necessary to the other parts. This selfless approach to church and life will cause much growth.
We are told multiple times in the Word of God to use our freedom to serve God and one another. When a person doesn't do this, either others must work overtime or some of the work of God will go undone.
One area that pride shows up in people's lives is in how they deal with care, anxiety, and worry. The humble person will submit to the Word of God allowing it to rule their circumstances.
Pride is always right in its own mind. It blames others for its failures and is very slow to admit wrong and apologize. Humility will welcome correction and always be teachable and will change when needed.
God can be limited by us. We must stretch in terms of our vision, thinking, and activity in order to allow the potential of God's ability to be realized.
Accepting the principle of humility as a virtue is pretty easy. Recognizing the symptoms of pride to eliminate it is another story.
You cannot have faith for something that you don't know about. It is through our knowledge of God and what He has promised to do for us that enables us to believe.
One way that pride shows up in a person is through self-promotion. Do you speak of yourself frequently? Do you say and do things to impress others? When we recognize these symptoms of pride we can repent and be clothed with humility.
True humility is not denying the praise you think you really deserve. It is having an accurate view of reality. This is often revealed in a person by whether or not they give proper credit (glory) to God for all good things in life.
Pride is one of the things that the Bible says God hates. Therefore, we should hate it too. We are instructed in the New Testament to be clothed with humility. The humble get more of God's grace. They go up while the proud fall.
It is not just giving that causes increase to come to you. It is the release of faith. It is the giving act of faith that brings us into the reality of God’s provision.
Prophecy doesn't always come in the way we expect. We should all understand the what the purpose of it is.
Jesus taught that certain commandments were greater or more important that others. It is vital for us that we understand what things in our lives in God's kingdom outweigh others.
God is good both in His character and in His ability to get things done. One of the out-workings of God's goodness revealed in the Bible is healing for the physical body. Many have been confused by man's religion regarding these things.
There are constant efforts made by the enemy to distract us - getting our attention off of "those things that are above." In this message, learn three reasons for that potential in your life.
One big key to success is to find out what to do and keep doing it. Many have too much of a short term mindset in life and need to get back to what they should be doing.
There is something about having the right things first that causes everything else to work. When we give to the Lord's purposes before ourselves, we access His supernatural provision.
Many people are operating in the flesh - falling far short of God's best and highest blessing. Jesus said, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."

God moved upon people to speak is word and even get our Bible to us today. In this same way, He still moves upon people to accomplish His plan in our lives and in the earth today.
Many people think that God is an all-inclusive all-accepting God. The Bible tells us that not all are accepted and what must be done to avoid rejection.
Proverbs 14:12 - There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
Too often people view themselves and their relationship to God based upon what they do. The real issue in how God relates to us is based upon whether or not we are in Christ.
God showed us mercy and grace not just to provide the forgiveness of sins so we could avoid hell, but so that He could be in an intimate relationship with each of us forever.
The Bible tells us that Jesus took stripes specifically so that we can take healing. Let not His sacrifice be in vain for your physical body.

It is not uncommon for people to be closed off to God's best because of hurt that someone has caused them in the past. With others, it is a failure to respond correctly to the training the Father brings that causes hardening.
Because God can get money to you and has, by His grace, already made provision, He is faithful to lead you to that place where the provision is.
God, by His grace, has made His resources available to us. This was done separate from our goodness. We are to now look to Him - believing that He is leading us in to the place of provision.
Looking at ourselves and financial challenges only serves to hinder our faith. It is necessary for us to magnify the Lord - seeing Him as limitless and abounding toward us as our Provider!
The birth of Jesus was no natural event. Over thousands of years God spoke and man received those words - concluding when Mary said, "Be it unto my according to Your word." God still works this way in our lives. We must get a word from Him.

What the Lord did in us when we were saved needs to be worked out of our spirits into the rest of our lives. This is accomplished by the Lord working in us to will and to do of His good pleasure.
God has given us the necessary ministry gifts and word to cause growth. Perpetual immaturity is a big problem in the lives of some. This teaching will help you to see the value and potential of maturity.

If we want our nation to be exalted, we must make righteousness the main thing we look for in our voting decisions. When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice but when the wicked rule the people groan.
Division in the Body of Christ can be avoided if people will grow up and keep the main thing the main thing - Jesus. He is the head and we must take our marching orders from Him.
Many people get caught up with struggling in the flesh to make things happen in their life. The Bible teaches us that when we believe we do enter the rest. This where we have ceases from our labors and are resting in the finished work of the cross.
God is repositioning people within the church as their faithfulness is demonstrated. In order for us to get anything accomplished, we must walk in unity and resist the devil who divides.
Proverbs 13:12 tells us that hope deferred makes the heart sick. We are to be people of expectation. However, many people don't have any solid foundation for their expectations and therefore end up continually disappointed.
This is one of those spiritual truths that go completely contrary to the natural mind. In order to experience true life, we must forget about ourselves and give ourselves totally over to Him.
When people separate themselves from the local church, they also are cutting off a supply of the Spirit that comes to them through the office of the pastor. It is a supernatural gift that brings leading, feeding, protection and correction.
Just like many people look to their natural environment to produce happiness, many believers think that they need just one more spiritual experience to make the difference. The truth is, we must let the very presence of Jesus be our satisfaction.
The Church is both universal and local. It is essential that people not only be a part of the The Church through salvation but also a local assembly of believers. It is the Lord's priority and should be ours too.
Many people have misconceptions about some of the most fundamental elements of Christianity. This message deals with the Church and defines, from God's perspective, what it is.
Many people are trying to get God to do what He has already done. The truth is that healing already belongs to every believer. Knowing this, we can effectively defend what we already have.
Many people believe that their happiness is a byproduct of their environment and circumstances. This belief will condemn a person to perpetual dissatisfaction. This is the "grass is greener" mentality.
One universal commonality that people have is a desire to be happy and enjoy life. If we are promised the quality of life that God has (John 10:10) then it would be necessary for us to know what His life is like.
The way that we choose between life and death is by the words of our mouths. We should not only avoid saying the wrong thing, but continually say what we want.
God's plan for us is that we be together. Although we are to do good to those in the world, those in the household of faith are to be priority. This message deals with this truth and the integrated truth of sowing and reaping.
We are not to only have faith in God and faith in His word. We are supposed to also have faith in the power of God. This is an important truth that helps us to receive healing in the time of need.
There are different ways that people stumble in word - and thereby losing control of their life. We must not hastily give our word to people or God without the full weight of our commitment backing it up.
Just as words can cause others to suffer, when a person speaks against their self - even in a joking way - it sets them up for a downfall. This message deals with keeping a close watch on the words we speak.
According to the book of James, are bodies are controlled when we do not stumble in word. God has designed us to use our mouths as the primary method to add either life or death to our lives.
Just like a person who surfs the world wide web can pick up various forms of malware, our minds have been infected by the thinking of the world and need cleaned out. This message will succinctly give you the method to accomplish this important task.
Two things we must be convinced of in order to receive our healing from the Lord is that He is both willing and able to do it. Most believe the second but many are unsure of the first. This question is answered unequivocally in this message.
A very well established but often overlooked principle in the Word of God is meditation. We are told not only that we should practice it but what we are to think about. It is a big key to controlling the mind and therefore controlling the life.
Our internal vision is influenced by what we look at with our physical eyes as well as our imagination. Keeping the right images before you will help to create a vision of victory.
The vision we have is highly effected by the type of input we receive regularly. If I want a positive victorious vision, I must receive that kind of input. Cutting off sources of negativity is a big step toward a new vision.
It is vital that all believer's understand the difference between the spirit - which has been perfected in Christ and the soul which needs to be "saved" by the implanted Word of God.
Many people can never imagine themselves with more than they have today. When we get God's vision for our lives, we will see ourselves healed, prosperous, fulfilled, and being used by Him!
It is not possible to control your life without controlling your mind. A person can never think one way and go another. The way that God rules in us is for us to purposefully and willfully submit what is in our control to Him.
When a person has the eyes of their understanding enlightened, there are three primary truths that will come to them. They have to do with God's call, resources, and plan.
The focus of our natural vision will, over time, create an internal vision. The image we have on the inside is what we will eventually experience. This makes what we look at a vital contribution to our future.
The vision that we have is where we are headed. If I have a vision of victory, I will experience that victory in my future. In Christ, we are caused to always triumph.
It is a very common practice these days for people to leave their church. When this occurs it is vital that those who remain deal correctly with the loss.
What we focus our attention on, we will be sensitive to. What we neglect, we will be hardened to. Considering what the Lord has said and done is vital to maintaining a heart of understanding.
Because hardness of heart is a major reason why many are spiritually blind, it is important to know what causes this condition. This message deals with 3 main things that bring hardness of heart.
To him who has shall more be given. If we want to see more and have greater understanding of spiritual truths, we must have in place the foundation of an understanding heart. Hardness of heart will cripple your ability to perceive spiritual realities.
What we look at will determine what we become. As we see the glory of God in us, we are transformed from glory to glory.
This teaching explains two important keys to understanding - humility and walking in the light that you have. Both of them will position you to receive more light.
Having a revelation of truth is not contingent upon IQ or natural efforts. We must believe that the Lord will show us what we don't yet see.
Whenever the Lord gives us a word, it contains the necessary ability to carry it out. The statement, "Be strong in the Lord", for example, is both a command and an empowerment to obey.
This message begins to take a look at specific principles that are necessary for people to have accurate and clear sight - that is, to be able to understand spiritual realities.
Many times God's glory is experienced when a believer lays hands on another. We have numerous scriptures in the Bible that give precedence for the transferral of anointings and gifts through this method.
Again and again we can see in the ministry of Jesus that it was compassion that moved Him to minister healing to the sick. Is He still compassionate today? If so, then He is still moved by it to heal all who are suffering.
Our response to the understanding that we do have will determine if we get more light or if we begin to have our heart darkened.
One of the basic realites of the Christian life is the past tense nature of our redemption. The great spiritual battle in the earth today is all about an understanding of truth. When you know it, you are free!
Throughout church history there have been many supernatural occurrences wherever God's Spirit was moving. When we see what God has done in the past, it can serve to stir us to look for Him to move mightily in our lives today.
Sin had separated God from man for so long. The mystery that has been revealed to us in the new covenant is that not only did God come to be with us, but He came to live in us.
The Word of God tells us that without holiness no one will see the Lord. If we want to clearly see and understand God, His ways and His glory, we must pursue living like Him.
The way that God designed us is connected to His purpose for our lives. When we discover our particular bent, we also have insight into what the Lord wants us to do.
The Lord said in Isaiah 42:8 that "My glory I will not give to another." We must avoid, at all times, the temptation to take credit for good things that happen. Giving glory to God keeps us in position to experience more.
Your life today is, to a great deal, a result of the decisions you have made in the past. There are some really important issues in our lives that require a quality decision if we are going to have a better future.
There are times when God's Spirit is moving but people do not recognize it. As we give ourselves to spiritual things, we will know when the Lord is moving.
While many people are trying to get God to move, others are taking what He has given and acting on it. We can have a move of God any time we choose to.
This teaching deals with three areas that are directly linked to the future. They are what you say, what you pray, and the quality decisions that you make.
Is there anything a person can do today to guarantee a brighter tomorrow? There are certain things that we can do now that have a direct link to the future. This message discusses one of them.
God, through His foreknowledge, saw that you would receive Jesus and planned out something special for your life. Getting a word from God will equip you to fulfill that purpose.
The attitudes of our heart are key ingredients to walking in the holy, sacred things of God. We must not only have respect for the Lord Himself, but also for everything He is involved with.
One of the things that a word from God will do for you is put your life in order. Too many people live in chaos and confusion, but God is and always has been a God of order.
Leviticus 10:3 And Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke, saying: ‘By those who come near Me I must be regarded as holy; And before all the people I will be glorified.'
We all have a future. What it consists of is really up to us. God has a plan and purpose for every person. If we will seek to hear a word from God and then have faith to obey it, our lives will be dramatically altered.
In order to experience the Glory of God to the full, we must serve Him in an acceptable way. Reverence and godly fear should be the attitudes with which we come to Him.
For the person who is living in obedience, faith, and continually maturing, many times their limitation is due to small thinking. Much of what we think we can't do or have did not originate with God but in our own minds.
The manifestation of God's glory comes in many different ways. We must give Him the proper weight in our lives by seeking His face and treating all He does as holy.
There are specific things that we must avoid in order to have God's unlimited power and provision in our lives. This teaching deals with these three: Rebellion, Unbelief, and a lack of growth.
This teaching will help you to understand what the glory of God is, how you can show God the proper respect and position yourself to receive more of His manifest presence.
This exciting message on healing is taken from Matthew 15 where a woman from Canaan came seeking deliverance for her daughter. She possessed faith and humility which enabled her to keep making adjustments until she got what she came for.
As we can see from various Bible examples as well as life experience, what determines the limitations in our lives is us. We must ultimately make the call as to how much of God's power and provision we will walk in.
Any person who has had a taste of God's glory desires more. This glory can manifest in various ways but is contingent upon our believing.
Many people have not realized that the attitude and faith with which they respond to God will determine the degree of victory they experience. When God speaks, respond to Him fully doing everything will all your heart.
Jesus came to bring peace. This peace is not between mankind but between God and man. Our sins have been judged in Jesus and we can now have unhindered fellowship with God.
