Freedom.: Recent Episodes
Pastor Jason Lozano | Freedom.
Freedom Christian Center’s vision of “Bringing God’s Freedom To This Generation” is encapsulated in Pastor Jason Lozano’s weekly, faith-filled sermons. Each sermon provides a Biblical principle that brings hope and freedom to people from all nations, and allows them to stand before the Pharaohs of this world and boldly proclaim, “Let my people go!". #Go2fcc #LetMyPeopleGo

Miracle Mentality – “I Trust You God”

All Miracles Begin And End With Faith
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him
● If you have a problem find a promise
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]
● Faith deals with the facts of God’s promises, if God said it, I believe it -
God Is Forever Faithful

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Psalms 26:1 I have trusted in the LORD without wavering
● Waver - To slip, slide, totter, shake
Romans 4:19-20 Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the age of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb He did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God
Hebrews 6:18 It is impossible for God to lie -
Miracles are the Great Equalizer – So Start Seeing The Invisible
Genesis 32:12 But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’
Isaiah 51:2-3 Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many. The Lord will surely comfort Zionand will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing
● If you can imagine the invisible, you can believe for the impossible
Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
Luke 18:17 Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God [with faith and humility] like a child will not enter it at all
Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do super(abundantly) more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us

Genesis 18:13 Is anything too diffic
Miracle Mentality - Lord Heal And Restore The Land of My Life
2 Chron 7:14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will
heal and restore their land
-
You’re The People of God Now, So You Are Never Hopeless Again
Eph 2:12 In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were
excluded from citizenship among the people of God, and you did not
know the promises God had made to them. You lived in this world
without God and without hope
● If you have a problem find a promise, Humility is trusting in God
Heb 11:11 By faith Sarah was able to have a child, though she was
barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his
promise
Mk 9:23 “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who
believes.” -

produces wonderful results

Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me
close

The water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling
up to eternal life.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so
that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw
water.” -
Turn From Your Ways, If You Want More Spirit You Have To Walk
In Truth
Jn 4:16-18,23 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”, “I
have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when
you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands,
and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just
said is quite true.” Yet a time is coming and has now come when the
true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for
they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks
Jer 2:13 For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken
Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own broken
containers that cannot hold water -

1 Jn 1:9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness
Is 43:25 I yes, I alone will blot out your sins for my own sake and will
never think of them again
Phil 3:13 But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining
toward what is ahead -
God’s Will Is To Always Heal and To Restore Our Lives

said. “Be healed and restored! And immediately the leprosy left him
Is 53:5 But he was pierced for our sins, he was crushed for our
iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by
his wounds we are healed

Miracle Mentality
1. Our God Is Like No Other – He is Grand in All His Ways
Isaiah 40:28 Have you never heard? Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his
understanding
Gen 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The
earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters
Day One: He created the light, day, and night
Day Two: He created the sky
Day Three: He created the land, seas, vegetation, plants and trees
Day Four: He created the stars, seasons, sun, and moon
Day Five: He created the fish and birds
Day Six: He created the animals, he created man and woman
Day Seven: Gen 2:2 On the seventh day God had finished his work of
creation, so he rested from all his work.
Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,
the First and the Last.”
2. Hold Onto Your Childlike Faith
Num 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that
He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken,
and will He not make it good?
Rom 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God
Matt 18:3 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
● Disappointments in life and doubts will try to chip away at your child
like faith
● Cast down every imagination – everything that comes into your
mind that is against God (especially old roots)
● Fear reasons in the “how’s and “why's”, faith simply believes God’s
word
3. With God All Things Are Possible – Nothing Is Impossible
● The Lord Provides (Jehovah Jireh)
1 Kings 17:2-6 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: “Leave here,
turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will
drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with
food there.”So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith
Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. The ravens brought him
bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and
he drank from the brook. (The Lord Provides)
● Centurion’s Servant healed by Jesus – Matt 8
Matt 15:31 The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking,
the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they
praised the God of Israel.
Heb 13:8 NKJV Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Tithe and Offering – Our God Is A God of Plenty
Prov 3:9-10 Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled
with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
Miracle Mentality – God is a Miracle Working God
- We Serve a Miracle Working God - Developing Capacity for Miracles
Jn 21:25 Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written
Jesus turns water into wine, heals The Official’s son, heals Peter’s mother-in-Law, drives out an evil spirit, heals many of the sick at evening, performs the first miracle of fish being caught, cleanses a man with leprosy, heals a paralytic, heals a man’s withered hand, raises a widow’s son in nain, calms a storm, casts out demons into a heard of pigs, heals a woman in the crowd, raises Jairus daughter from the dead, heals two blind men, heals a man unable to speak, heals an invalid at bethsethda, walks on the water, heals many sick and Gennesaret, heals a woman’s demon possessed daughter, heals a deaf and dumb man, feeds 4000 and 5000, heals a blind man at Bethsaida, heals a man born blind, heals a boy with a demon, Miraculously pays his taxes, heals a blind mute demoniac, heals a cripple woman, cleanses ten lepers, raises lazarus from the dead, restores sight to bartimeous, withers the fig tree, heals the centurion’s severed ear
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever
- The Miracle of Freedom – Tell The World What The Lord Has Done
Mark 5:5,8,15,19-20 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones. For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!” When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” So the man went away and began to tell in the 10 cities how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed
God heard my cry and did a miracle for me - When God does miracles for us we must give back and we can never out give God
Ex 3:9-10 The cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt
- Giving Releases Our Faith for Miracles – What Are You Believing For
1 Kings 17:12-15 So she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.” And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’ ” So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah
Once she sowed into the ministry her finances switched kingdoms
Putting God’s agenda first, releases the miracle of provision
2 Cor 9:6-8 [Remember]: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to others] will also reap generously [and be blessed]. Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift].
God’s Favor Rests Heavy On His Favorites
1. Let Them Shout for Joy and Be Glad Who Favor My Righteous Cause
Ps 35:27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
● Favor my righteous cause - Those who delight in my prosperity
Ex 3:7-10 The Lord said, “I have seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Enemy and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of their enemies. And now the cry of my people has reached me, and I have seen the way the Enemy is oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the out of Bondage.”
- Embrace The Heart of The Father to Bless and to Prosper His Servants
Ps 35:27 Let them say continually, “Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
● Continually - constantly, ellipt (loop), regularly and sacrificially
● This is to be our declaration of faith at all times
● His Servants - To Make the choice to minister to, serve and to be
submitted to God’s Counsel, wisdom, decree and purposes
Ps 34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth
Acts 13:22,36 I have found David a man after My own heart; he will do everything I want him to do, He served God’s purposes in his generation
Ex 9:1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, “Let my people go, so that they may worship and serve me.”
● One of the reasons he set us free is to serve the purposes of heaven
Ps 18:19 He brought me out into a large and spacious place; He rescued me because He was pleased with me and delighted in me
● Large place - into a state of freedom, plenty, safety and comfort
Ps 31:8 You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place
Ps 66:12 We went through fire and water, but You brought us into
abundance (a wealthy place, satisfaction)
Is 62:4-5 No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land
(building) Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah (My Delight is in Her) and your land Beulah (Married); for the Lord will take delight in you,and your land (building) will be married. As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you
Is 49:19 Even the most desolate parts of your abandoned land will soon be crowded with your people. And those who left you in ruins will be far removed from you
Is 43:1-5 (nlt) Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom. Others were given in exchange for you.I traded their lives for yours because you
are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you. Do not be afraid, for I am with you.I will gather you and your children from everywhere
● I’ve married God’s house and have committed my life to his cause
Ps 118:25 Send now prosperity and success help us to push forward
Praise Your Way Out
1. Living a Lifestyle of Praise (Joy)
Neh 8:10 the joy of the lord is your strength
● Joy (praise) is a force, it’s not just an emotion
● Joy (praise) will help you stay strong when mountains don’t move immediately
● Joy (praise) undergirds your faith
● My joy (praise) cannot be based on my circumstances
Phil 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always (Always is always)
Phil 1:19 And I’m going to keep that celebration going because I know how it’s going to turn out.
- Praise Him for His Power and His Faithfulness
Rom 4:18-21 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb. Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.
Heb 11:11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.
Eph 3:20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Deut 7:9 Keep in mind that the LORD your God is [the only] God. He is a faithful God, who keeps his promise and is merciful to thousands of generations of those who love him and obey his commands.
1 Thess 5:24 The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.
- Don’t Get Sidetracked By Pressures or Problems #staysteadfast
Phil 4:12-13 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
● Paul’s joy was not based on his current circumstances
● Faith never pretends, were just not giving our focus to it
● Outlast the enemy by thinking the right things
● Remember how God has helped you in the past
2 Cor 4:18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
2 Cor 4:8-9 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. 9 We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
- Victory Is Already Yours – Believe it, Receive it, and Give God Praise
1 Cor 15:57-58 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Leave Lust Vegas And Step Into Your Calling
- Lust is Enemy Number One of God’s Purposes and Plans for Our Lives
Jer 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Jer 29:11 I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future
Gal 5:17 (nlt) The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is the opposite of what the Spirit wants. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions
Gal 5:18-23 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life (will not inherit the Kingdom of God)
- Vision for Your Future is the Key to Living a Disciplined Life
Prov 29:18 Where there is no vision the people are unrestrained
2 Tim 2:19-22 “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from Sin.” In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. If you keep yourself
pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the relationships of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts
Hab 2:1 Write the vision, make it plain so he who reads can run with it
Jug 16:19-21 After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so they began to subdue him. And his strength left him. Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him. Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes and took him down to Gaza. Binding him with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain in the prison
● Samson was called to bring freedom from the philistines
● Samson’s separated lifestyle qualified him to be used by God
● The deceptive nature of lust and sin – It will keep you longer then you want to stay and make you pay more than you wanted to pay
● Samson was full of potential and purpose but he lost his vision
- If You Have Fallen Then Get Back Up, It’s Time to Get Your Vision Back
Jug 16:22,28-30 But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved. Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.
Phil 3:12-14 I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Ex 3:7,10 I have heard the cries of my people. So now, go!I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people out of Egyptian Bondage”
Is 26:19 “So then, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven.
Matt 28:19 Go (preach the Gospel) and make disciples of all the nations
Is 6:8 Who shall I send? Who will go fo
Leaving Lust Vegas
2 Tim 2:19-22 “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from Sin.” In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. If you keep yourself
pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the relationships of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts
- Yielding to Lust Becomes a Blessing Blocker
Gal 5:17 (NLT) The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions
● Lust – a strong desire and intense craving for something
● Lust is not bad it’s actually a good thing if it’s for God's will
● Gratifying the sensual cravings, desiring the forbidden, Longing for evil, coveting what belongs to another, striving for things, persons, or experiences contrary to the will of God
Gal 5:18-25 When you follow the desires (lust) of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other
sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life (will not inherit the Kingdom of God.) But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. (let us walk in step with the Spirit)
- Four Ways We Can Conquer The Lust of Our Flesh
A. Walk in The Spirit and in Step with The Spirit
Gal 5:16 Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh
Gal 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit
B. Don’t Give The Flesh a Place – Run if You Have To
Rom 13:13-14 Let us walk properly, not in wild parties Partying and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on Jesus Christ, and (make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts)
● The flesh is crazy, it wants to do what it wants when it wants
C. The Word, The Word, The Word – We Become What We Eat The Most
Ps 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you
● Two animals are going to fight which one will win
2 Pet 1:4 He's given us very great and precious promises, so that by these promises you may escape from the destructive lust that is in the world, and may come to share the divine nature
D. Knowing The Plans of God are a Major Key To Living a Disciplined Life
Prov 29:18 Where there is no vision [no revelation of God and His word], the people are unrestrained; But happy and blessed is he who keeps the law [of God]
● Lust is enemy number one of God’s purposes and plans for our lives
Jer 29:11 “I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future

We’re Getting ready for our Biggest soul winning event in the History of Freedom - God is calling us to fight for the souls of our families
- The Fight for Souls - Our Assignment to bring Freedom
Mark 5:1-5 (msg) As Jesus got out of the boat, a madman from the cemetery came up to him. He lived there among the tombs and graves. No one could restrain him—he couldn’t be chained.. He’d been tied up many times but he broke the chains, snapped the ropes. Night and day he roamed through the graves and the hills, screaming out and slashing himself with sharp stones
● He was hopeless but Jesus set him Free
● What did God bring you out of? It was for a purpose
Mark 5:18-20 When He got into the boat, he who’d been demon-possessed begged that he might be with Him. Jesus did not permit him, but said, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” He departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled
● Someone fought for me - My mom fought for me and I’m here now

Each of us is saved because someone obeyed God and shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with us
2 Peter 3:8 Do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day. The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish with a [mighty and thunderous] roar, and the [material] elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and the works that are on it will be burned up
● Perish- suffer death, typically in a violent, sudden, or untimely way.
- All believers are called to evangelize - We are set free to set others Free
2 Cor 5:18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore
you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God
● Ambassador- a person who acts as a representative or promoter of a specified activity or place.

Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Ps 27:12-14 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence. 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In this life. 14 Wait (hope) on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

praise to God except this foreigner?”
1 Cor 1:27-29 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

Js 4:6 But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he
also passed by on the other side. 33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 34Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took
him to an inn, where he took care of him. 35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here. 36 “Now which of these three would you say was merciful ?” Jesus asked. 37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”

barren will overflow with streams of blessing].

Matt 12:28-29 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house

● We have to act to plant the word, water the word, to protect the word and act to reap the harvest, every step of faith requires action

Mk 11:24-25 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins

Mk 4:26-29 A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come

Guard Your Heart While Walking by Faith – Passing All the Tests
Prov 4:23 (nlt) Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life
Mk 4:15-19 As soon as they hear it Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Others hear the Word and at once receive it with joy But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away Others like seed sown among thorns, hear the Word; but the worries of life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful

- It Is the Spirit of Faith That Gives Us Access Into Our Promise Land
2 Cor 4:13 I believed; therefore I have spoken. Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak

2 Sam 5:19-20,22-25 And David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.” 20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. 22 And the Philistines came up yet again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 And when David inquired of the Lord, he said, “You shall not go up; go around to their rear, and come against them opposite the balsam trees. 24 And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then rouse yourself, for then the Lord has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” 25 And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck them down

Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.” 4 So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. 5 But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. 7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. 8 And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ 10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

Ps 89:1 I will sing of the loving devotion (loyalty) of the LORD forever
- Loyalty is the characteristic of God - We never outgive the lord, if we sow loyalty we reap His loyalty
- This is both dangerous and powerfully amazing
Ps 89:19-24 I have placed strength on a warrior; I have raised up a young man from among the people. 20 I have found David my servant with my Holy oil I have anointed him. 21 My hand will sustain him surely my arm will strengthen him.

If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. 10 Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.”
- Loyalty (Shalem) full, complete, a whole heart or a perfect heart
- God doesn’t want some of our heart he wants the whole thing
- Our actions including our giving will always follow our hearts
Matt 6:21 Wherever your treasure (wealth) is, there the desires of your heart will also be
2 Cor 8:5 They did more than we had expected. First, they gave themselves to the Lord and then to us, since this was God's will.
- When God Has Loyalty of Heart He Can Then Release His Blessing
Jn 3:16 God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life
- There is nothing like sacrificial heart giving that releases miracles
Gen 22:1-2,9-14 Later God tested Abraham and called to him, “Abraham! “Yes, here I am!” he answered. 2 God said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I will show you.”9 When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built the altar and arranged the wood on it. Then he tied up his son Isaac and laid him on top of the wood on the altar. 10 Next, Abraham picked up the knife and took it in his hand to sacrifice his son. 11 But the Messenger of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes?” he answered. 12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you did not refuse to give me your son, your only son.” 13 When Abraham looked around, he saw a ram behind him caught by its horns in a bush. So Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son. 14 Abraham named that place The Lord Will Provide. It is still said today, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
- With God it’s not just about the money it’s the heart that he is after
- God doesn’t mind us having riches he minds riches having us
- Giving becomes the greatest test of our devotion to God, it’s the fastest and most effective way to dedicate our hearts to him
- After sacrificial giving always comes great miraculous breakthrough
Phil 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus
- Riches - Wealth, money, possessions, abundance, valuables
- David was so wealthy and powerful because God had his heart
1 Chron 29:1-3, 5 The work is great, because the temple is not for man but for the Lord God. 2 Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my might 3 Because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver 5 Who then is willing to consecrate himself this day to the Lord?”
1 Chron 16:29 Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him, worship Him in the beauty of holiness!

Give God the Glory
- The Glory of God is His Goodness
Ex 33:18-19 “Please, show me Your glory.” 19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you”
- Glory means to be heavy with everything good
- Goodness is the greatest of all that is positive and desirable. God’s love and goodness blesses, protects and gives victory
- Sages – the set time has come to show you as much of divine goodness as you can comprehend and handle
- He is pouring heavy goodness out but we must be ready to receive
Jer 33:9 Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.’
- The Fear and Reverence for God Prepares Us for His Goodness
Ps 31:19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid (treasured) up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!
- Treasured up goodness for those who honor and reverence the Lord
- Fear (Reverence) is what we pay to kings because of their majesty
- The unlimited goodness of God is limited by our minds, attitudes and lifestyle, drawing near to His presence and word changes us
- The glory of God is attracted to Holy living, that which is sanctified
2 Cor 3:18 But we all are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord
Rom 12:1-2 I urge you, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God this is your spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is His good, pleasing and perfect will
- Fearing the Lord in Our Stewardship Prepares Us for Heavy Glory
1 Chron 16:29 Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him, Worship Him in the beauty of holiness!
- Glory also means Doxa – The praise due to God, means to obey God
- God stores up goodness for us, but we do the same for Him
- To glorify God is to fear, honor and to obey His purposes
1 Chron 29:1-3,5 The work is great, because the temple is not for man but for the Lord God. 2 Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my might 3 Because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver 5 Who then is willing to consecrate himself this day to the Lord?
- David’s offering - 2,688,000,000 + 17,280,000,000 = 19,968,000,000
1 Chron 29:13-14,16 “Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name. 14 But who am I, and who are my people, That we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, And of Your own we have given You. 16 O LORD our God, from Your hand comes all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy Name, and all of it belongs to You
- Lit – everything that exists is from you, and we administrate it from your hand, because David understood this he was trusted with it
1 Sam 13:14 But now your rule will not last. The Lord has found a man who is pleasing to him in every way. He has chosen him to rule over his people, because you have not obeyed the Lord
Acts 13:22 David will please My heart. He will do all I want done
Jn 17:4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do
Built for Greater Glory – The Timing of God
- Understanding the Timing of God and How it Works
Ps 102:13 You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come.
- Time (Kairos) An Opportune time, Set time, due time, proper time, appointed time or season, a moment of maximum opportunity, it is a moment when change is possible and a moment when all things “come together” and align
Lk 19:44 Because you did not know the time of your visitation
Jer 38:20 Obey the voice of the LORD in what I am telling you, that it may go well with you and you may live.
2 Chron 20:20 Believe His prophets, and you shall prosper
- Glorify and Honor God with Obedience in These Seasons
1 Pet 2:12 Glorify God in the day of visitation
Haggai 1:2-11 Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying: ‘This people says, “The time has not come, the time that the Lord’s house should be built.” Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying, “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes. Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord. “You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the Lord of hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house. Therefore the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. For I called for a drought on the land and the mountains, on the grain and the new wine and the oil, on whatever the ground brings forth, on men and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands
- We Are In a Miracle Season and It’s About to Get Stronger
Haggai 2:8-9 The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. And in this place, I will bring peace. I, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!”
- Glory (Chabod) weightiness, that which is substantial or heavy, honor, splendor, power, wealth, authority, magnificence, fame, dignity, riches and excellence, it is the goodness of God
- Just like neglecting God’s House in the wrong season affected them negatively, blessing God’s house in the right season brings blessing
1 Kings 17:12-16 She replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.” Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’” She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah
- She could have allowed excuses, reasoning, fear, unbelief, rebellion to rob her of this great miracle season, but she believed and obeyed
- We need to give to God because we’re grateful, but we must also give to God expecting a great miracle harvest on what we sow
Grace and Glory
- Thankful for the House of God
Psalm 34:6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles
- My life was changed in the House of God

- It was in the House of God that I was healed of a broken heart
Psalm 84:11-12 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. 12 Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you
Psalm 107:8-9 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
- Experiencing Grace and Glory #TheGoodnessofGod
Ex 33:18-19 And he said, Please, show me Your glory 19 Then He said, I will make all My goodness pass before you…
- His glory is His goodness (the blessings) testify a little brag on God a little
2 Tim 2:13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is.
-
God is faithful even when we are unfaithful
-
Freedom We Received Freedom We Give
-
This is why we do what we do
- Bringing God’s freedom
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty (freedom) to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
“I want to spend my life healing broken people I want to spend my life removing pain” - P Jason Lozano

Build God a House for His Glory
-
This is why we give, Heart for the House March 21, 2021
Exodus 25: 1- 2, 8 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering. And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them
Haggai 2:6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8 The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, says the Lord of hosts. 9 The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
Built for Greater Glory – To the Faithful Church
- God Builds Us with The Characteristics of Faithfulness
Is 43:7 Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created (built) for my glory, whom I formed and made
Rev 3:1-13 “to the angel of the church in (Philadelphia) Whittier write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly” Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. 13 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
- A Faithful Church Always Works for the Lord Even with Little Power
Js 1:3 The testing of your faith develops Patience (endurance)
- Endurance - to be underneath something, to remain in your spot, to keep a position and stance, to make up your mind to maintain some territory that has been gained
- Soldiers hold your position in the middle of fierce battles
- In spiritual battle we use our supernatural power, endurance helps us to be steadfast, unmovable and outlast and outlive our enemies
1 Cor 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain
- A Faithful Church Keeps God’s Word and Doesn’t Deny His Name
Acts 13:36 After David served God's purpose in his generation, he slept
Ex 9:1 Go to Pharaoh and say to him, 'This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: "Let my people go, so that they may worship me."
Acts 26:19 I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven.
- They deny because the fear of others, fear of ridicule & persecution
- God said you had the chance to break your vow and walk away and you didn’t do it, you stayed loyal to me and my cause
Heb 10:38-39 And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.” But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved
- A Faithful Church is Joyful Knowing They Are Built For Greater Glory
Js 1:2-4 Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing
- A perfect Church is mature and ready to handle greater Glory
- A faithful Church will have their opposers (satan) bow their knees
- A faithful Church will have God ordained open doors
- A faithful Church will receive special protection from the Lord
- A faithful Church receives blessings in this life and in the one to come
2 Cor 4:17-18 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal
Built for Greater Glory
- If You Believe You Will See The Glory of God
Ps 84:11-12 The Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. What joy for those who trust in you
● Glory (Chabod) weightiness, that which is substantial or heavy, honor, splendor, power, wealth, authority, magnificence, fame, dignity, riches and excellence, it is the heavy goodness of God
Jn 11:40 Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?”
- Built Through Tested Faith, Faith Not Tested is Faith That Can’t Be Trusted
Is 43:7 Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created (built) for my glory, whom I formed and made
Ps 105:19 Until the time came to fulfill his dreams (Prophetic promise), the LORD tested (refined) Joseph’s character
● Metal is forged in the fire because it is built to withstand great pressure and to last so God forges us in the fire because he prepares us for the glory – glory means weight or pressure
● Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, David & Paul were built by fire for the glory
● Testing fire purifies motives and produces confidence in God’s will
1 Pet 1:7 The genuineness of your faith, which is much more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested and purified by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory and honor to Jesus Christ
- Built Through Patience, Developing Contentment and Endurance
Rom 5:3-4 We glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope
● The early church called patience the queen of all virtues
● If you’re not satisfied today with what you have, getting more won't fix it
Phil 4:11-13 I’m not telling you this because I’m in need, for I have learned to be satisfied in any circumstance. I know what it means to lack,and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty. (Dependency)
Js 1:3 The testing of your faith develops Patience (perseverance)
● Patience – to be underneath something, to remain in your spot, to keep a position and stance, to make up your mind to maintain some territory that has been gained (spiritual bench-pressing)
● Patience is a military word that was given to soldiers to hold their position in the middle of fierce adversity and battle
● To do this the soldiers had to have great courage and character

● Endurance, steadfast, unmovable, to outlast and outlive our enemies
Js 5:11 We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful
Job 42:10,12 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. So the LORD blessed Job's latter days more than his first
Job 23:10 But he knows the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold

How to Manifest God’s Promises for Grace & Glory in 2021
- The Word of God Has The Power to Bring Itself to Pass
Is 55:11 So My word I send it out, it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to and prosper everywhere I send it
The word of God is God and it can be relied upon
Mk 4:19 Worries of this age, the seduction of wealth, and the lusts for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful
To choke utterly as weeds do plants, to strangle out, to drown
- Greed & Worry Make the Word Unfruitful, Barren, Profitless, Useless
Hag 1:1-7 ‘This people says, “The time has not come, the time that the Lords house should be built. Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying, “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord. “You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the Lord of hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house”
Here God’s people got into trouble because they decided to build their house while neglecting God’s house, the source of glory
Lk 12:16 “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
This man was rich toward himself but not rich towards God
2021 make sure you're rich toward the house of his glory
Lk 12:22-24,28-32 “I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom and these things will be given to you as well. “Do not be afraid little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
- The Coming Glory Coming to God's House
Hag 2:6-9 (In a little while)... I will shake all nations... I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The glory of the 2nd temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place, I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”

Entering Into Greater Grace and Glory
- Make a Fresh Commitment to Pray and Seek the Lord
Matt 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you openly
Gen 32:24,29 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there
- You don’t see his time with God, but you see the evidence of it
Heb 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him
2 Chron 7:13-15 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence (Plague, Disease, Contagion, Infection, Pandemic) among My people if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place
- Make the Lord Our Tower of Trust and Cast All Our Worries On Him
Ps 62:6-8 (TLB) Yes, he alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense, and fortress why then should I be tense with fear when troubles come? My protection, success and Glory come from God alone. He is my refuge, a Rock where no enemy can reach me. O my people, trust him all the time. Pour out your longings (heart) before him, for he can help!
- Many times, great glory is connected to warfare, learning that the Lord is a strong tower will be key to being trusted with greater grace
Ps 59:16 In my most troubled hour You defended me, You’re my shelter
Ps 56:11 In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? (What can the son of earth do to me)
1 Pet 5:7 (TLB) Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you
Mk 4:19 (HCS) Worries of this age, the seduction of wealth, and the lusts for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful
- To choke utterly as weeds do plants, to strangle out, to drown
- Worry makes the word of God unfruitful, barren, profitless, useless
Lk 10:41 (NASB) You are worried and bothered about so many things
Is 55:11 So My word I send it out, it always produces fruit. It shall accomplish all I want it to and prosper everywhere I send it
- We’re About to Reap What We Sowed for And What We Didn’t Sow For
Jn 4:38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor
Josh 24:13 So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant
Deut 8:8-10 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you

- Grace and Glory Defined
Ps 84:11 The Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly
- Grace is a free gift, it’s unearned and undeserved, favor, blessing, ability, wisdom, joy and strength from God
-
Glory (Chabod) weightiness, that which is substantial or heavy, honor, splendor, power, wealth, authority, magnificence, fame, dignity, riches and excellence, it is the goodness of God
-
The Glory is Always Connected to the House of God
2 Chron 7:1-3 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house. When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever.”
- Kenneth Copeland said 2021 will be the year of the local church
- The house of God releases the will of God in the earth
- If we help build Jesus's house, He will help build our houses
Matt 16:18 I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail
Gen 28:17 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"
- The church is heaven’s gateway, souls are saved and lives changed
- Awesome - To fear, to revere (what an incredible privilege we have)
1 Chron 28:10 So take this seriously. The LORD has chosen (selected) you to build a temple as His sanctuary (house). Be strong, and do the work
Is 60:7 I will glorify (adorn, beautify) the house of My glory
- Prayer in God’s House Reverses Curses and Releases Glory
2 Chron 7:12-16 I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people. If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. (Be very wise on handling the house of Glory)
Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you
1 Chron 16:22 Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm
1 Pet 3:10 For whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech
1 Cor 11:28-31 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged
Haggai 2:9 The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. And in this place, I will bring peace. I, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!

2021 The Year of God’s Grace and Glory
Ps 84:10-12 I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
- The Lord Gives More Grace in 2021
Ps 102:13 You will arise and have compassion on Zion (Church), for it is time to show favor (graciousness) to her; the appointed time has come
● Grace is a free gift, it’s unearned and undeserved, favor, blessing, ability, wisdom, joy and strength from God
- The Lord Gives Undeserved and Unearned Glory in 2021
Isa 60:1-3,9,11,12 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the people, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Surely the islands look to me; in the lead are the ships of Tarshish, bringing your sons from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor. Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that men may bring you the wealth of the nation’s their kings led in triumphal procession. For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish it will be ruined
● Glory (Chabod) weightiness, that which is substantial or heavy, honor, splendor, power, wealth, authority, magnificence, fame, dignity, riches and excellence, it means to be renowned
● Glory is also defined as the manifest presence of God, it’s when God’s goodness hits your life
1 Chron 13:14 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house for three months. And the Lord blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that he had
Ex 33:14-19 “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then he said to Him, “ If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are on the face of the earth.” So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you , and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I’ll be gracious to who I will be gracious, and I’ll have compassion on who I’ll have compassion.”
● When God’s glory is with us, victory and success is guaranteed
Ps 37:10-13 A little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, but it shall be no more. But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming
- The Lord Gives Grace and Glory but it Must be Received by Faith #trust
1 Jn 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith
Mk 5:36 Jesus told him, "Don't be afraid; just believe."
Mk 9:23 Everything is possible for one who believes
Jn 11:40 Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?

How to Outlast Every Storm and Finish Strong
Mk 4:35,37-40 “Let us cross over to the other side.” 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing (Satan words)?” 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”
- Don’t Stare at the Fear, Stare at the Savior and His Promise to You
Matt 14:29-31 “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him “O you of little faith why did you doubt?”
- Do not be afraid - To gaze at, to inspect, consider, or bewildered
- Fear always rushes in when faith is not present
- Like God needs our faith to operate, Satan needs our fears to operate
- Fear is the door opener to unbelief, remember it was unbelief that kept God’s people from the promised land
Heb 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God
- It’s actually the most dangerous of sins, it stops the power of God in men’s lives and it keeps men out of heaven
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him
Mk 6:5-6 And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief
- Don’t just talk about the storm in fear, but speak to it in faith
Mk 11:23 Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says
- No Fear Here Because My Father Loves Me
1 Jn 4:18 There’s no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been perfected in love
- Worry and anxiety are tormentors, torment is the element Satan uses to cause you to think that God is not going to help you
- Fear remaining in our lives reveals our lack of faith in Fathers love
Rom 8:15 You did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out “Abba Father”
- Fear always brings bondage, faith always brings freedom
- The greatest gift Jesus gave us was adoption by his Father
Jn 17:23 You have loved them as You loved Me
Is 9:6 And His name will be called Everlasting Father
Heb 12:9 Be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Matt 6:31-32 Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need these things
Ps 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the Lord will take care of me

- The Warfare of Worry, Learn How to Resist This Dangerous Temptation
1 Pet 5:7-10 Cast all your anxiety (worry) on him because he cares for you. 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast (we can't start in faith and finish in drought)
- You may have something to worry about, but it’s not worth it
- Worry makes us miserable and it opens the door to the enemy
- Worry doesn’t change anything it only makes things worse
- Plan for tomorrow use wisdom, but don’t worry about tomorrow
Matt 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its ownWebsite

- Faith in God’s Grace and Favor is Crucial for Any Victory
Lk 1:28,30,38 The angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Then Mary said, “Let it be to me according to your word”
- Highly favored (He has made us) this statement must be received
- Grace is a free gift, it’s unearned and undeserved, favor, blessing, ability, wisdom, joy and strength from God
2 Chron 20:20 Believe in the LORD, and you shall be established
- Faith is what connects us to the blessings of God including grace
Rom 5:2 We have access by faith into this grace
2 Cor 4:13-14,16-18 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke," we also believe and therefore speak, Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal
- The spirit of faith speaks the grace train is headed my way
- Keeping a strong spirit of faith is not God’s responsibility, it is ours
Ps 41:11 By this I know that you have favored me, because my enemy does not triumph in victory over me
1 Pet 5:6-11 God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble. So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you
2 Cor 12:9-10 My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 for when I am weak, then am I strong.
- Giving to the Will of God Releases Greater Grace in Our Lives
2 Cor 8:6-7 We appealed to Titus, since he was the one who got you started and encouraged you to give, so he could help you complete this generous undertaking on your behalf. You do well and excel in every respect in unstoppable faith, in powerful preaching, in revelation knowledge, in your passionate devotion, and in sharing the love we have shown to you. So make sure that you also excel in grace-filled generosity
Ex 36:5 The people are bringing more than is needed for the construction of the work the LORD commanded to be done
- By grace we will finish the project the Lord has placed before us
- The same miracle Freedom received is the same season you’re entering
2 Chron 20:20 Believe His prophets, and you shall prosper
- Be established in the prophet and you will push forward and prosper
Zack 4:6-9 This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” Says the Lord of hosts.” Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the final stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you”
The Lord is With Us as Our Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace
Matt 1:23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name “Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us”
- He’s With Us As Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace, So Don’t Worry
Is 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
● Peace (Shalom), safe, well, happy, welfare, health, prosperity
Matt 6:25-32 Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things
● Worry - Overcome with anxiety, to be anxious about, distracted
Matt 13:22 The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the Word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth (distraction) choke it, making it unfruitful
- Because the Lord is With Us, You Know Where to Find Us
Matt 6:33-34 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble
● I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I know God will be with us
Lk 2:49 He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be about My Father’s business?”
1 Cor 15:58 My beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing your labor is not in vain
Jn 4:34 My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and finish His work
Heb 10:9 Here I am, I have come to do Your will
Jn 17:4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do
● 27 years ago, I made a commitment to my Father and His will
Lk 4:18 The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed
● 17 years ago, I had an encounter in my bedroom to bring Freedom
Ex 8:1 Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: 'Let My people go, so that they may worship Me’
Lk 4:43 Jesus told them, ‘I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent’

Give Thanks - Thank God that He Gave
- God Gave His Best because He Wanted to be with Us
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life
- Because God gave his best, we can have peace
- Peace is a gift, we can't earn it or deserve it
Jn 14:1,27 (nlt) Don’t let your hearts be troubled trust in God 27 Peace I leave (offer you) with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid
Ps 29:11 The Lord blesses His people with peace
- Shalom - Nothing missing, nothing broken
Jn 16:33 (tpt) And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world!
Heb 13:5-6 Live content with what you have, for you always have God’s presence. Hasn’t he promised you, “I will never leave you alone, never! And I will not loosen my grip on your life!”6 So we can say with great confidence: “I know the Lord is for me and I will never be afraid of what people may do to me!”
- We Give Our Best to Let Him know We’re with Him
Luke 7:37 (MSG) Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, brought an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner. Jesus answered, “Simon, There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, which of them will love him more?” Simon answered, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” He said to him, “You have rightly judged.” Then He turned to the woman and said, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
- We give much because we've been forgiven of much
- Some may not understand your worship
LK 17:12 (MSG) Then as He entered a certain village, there were ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks.
- I wanna help you, like you helped me
- God I want to give you my best gift

Thank God We are the Light of this World
1 Cor 15:57-58 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord
- He Overcame All that was in the World and So Can We
1 John 5:4 For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith
- World – the system alienated and opposed to God’s system, lying under the power of the wicked one
Js 3:15-16 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. (Satan is the god of this world system)
Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms
1 Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
- The Lust of the Flesh – The Appetites and Desires of the Sinful Nature
Gal 5:19-21 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God
- The Lust of the Eye – The Love of Money
Eccl 5:10 Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless
- The Pride of Life – Power and Fame without God #abomination
Matt 4:8-10 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "If you will bow down and worship me." 10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
2 Tim 4:10 Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world
- If you don’t go with the world they will hate you because they hate Jesus
Jn 16:33 In me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world
- Thank God that Everywhere You Go the Victory Goes with You
Jn 17:15-16,18 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. #LIGHTOFTHEWORLD

He is the King of the ages, the unseen one

Stop Crying and Go forward Jesus is Coming Back
- Go Forward with Purity Knowing the Lord is Coming Back
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching
Matt 24:37-42 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Therefore keep watch, and be on guard because you do not know on what day your Lord will come
2 Pet 3:9-12,14 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. So dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him
Rom 13:10-14 You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts
- Go Forward Without Strife Knowing the Lord is Coming Back
Js 3:16 Where envy and strife is confusion and every evil thing is there.
Acts 8:23 I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity
- The temptation of offense is a trap that has bait, the bait of satan
- Don’t allow unforgiveness back into your spirit and soul, its poison
2 Cor 7:1 let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
- A strong spirit will sustain a man in sickness, a wounded offended spirit will do the opposite
Prov 18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, but who can bear a broken spirit?
- Offended people are a danger to themselves and to others
Heb 12:15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled
- Unforgiveness and offense are temptations that God helps us with
Heb 4:15-16 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Lk 11:4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive all who sins against us
Eph 4:32 Forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you
- No forgiveness no joy, no joy no strength, no strength no victory
Lk 23:34 Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do

Is 43:18 (nlt) Do not remember the things that have happened before. Do not think about the things of the past. 19 See, I will do a new thing. It will begin happening now. 25 I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again
1 Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness
-
God is faithful to forgive and to forget, we must be the same

- Going forward in forgiveness moves shame and guilt from our hear
Ps 51:2,7-8,10-13 Wash away all cleanse me from my sin. 7 Cleanse me and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have (Sin) crushed rejoice. 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. 13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways
- Going forward in forgiveness restores the joy of God’s presence and releases men into divine purpose
Phil 3:14 (nlt) I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ, is calling us

- Going forward in forgiveness brings healing and fellowship

Ezek 37:23 I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me

In this message, Pastor Jason Lozano of Freedom Christian Center teaches that anything is possible with God. When we want to complain we need to flip the script because we cannot complain and stand in faith at the same time. If complaining blocks the voice of God, then we get and obey his direction. If complaining limits God's power, then we need to lean into His power by faith. If complaining brings depression, then rejoice and praise God. And if complaining stops us, then we must courageously go forward.
Ex 14:15 Why do you cry to me? Tell my people to go forward
- If Complaining Blocks the Voice of God, then Get and Obey His Direction
Ps 106:25 they complained in their tents, they didn’t listen to God’s voice
1 Sam 30:6,8-9 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God. 8 David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” 9 “Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and recover all”
- If Complaining Limits God’s Power then Lean Into His Power by Faith
Ps 78:41-42 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. 42 They did not remember His power
Gen 18:14 Is anything too difficult for the LORD?
Lk 1:37 For nothing will be impossible with God
Num 11:23 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!”
- If Complaining Brings Depression then Rejoice and Praise God
Is 61:3 Give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness
- We can’t praise God and complain simultaneously
Ps 95:2 Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song
Heb 13:15 Offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God
Acts 16:25-26 At midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and all bands were loosed
- If Complaining Has Stopped Us then We Must Courageously Go Forward
Phil 3:13-14 (nlt) I focus on one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what’s ahead 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ, is calling us
Lk 8:43-48 A woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped. 46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately. 48 And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace”
- If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Pastor Jason Lozano of Freedom Christian Center explains that when we complain we limit the Power of God and block the voice and direction of the Holy Spirit. Complaining hinders our focus, kills our faith, attracts negative people, and causes us to forget His faithfulness. When we stop complaining, we are able to see from God's perspective and Go Forward, knowing that God has already given us the victory.
- Stop Crying – Complaining Will Never Bring Breakthrough
Ex 14:15 Why do you cry to me? Tell my people to go forward
- Complaining leads to more complaining, becomes a habit, hinders our focus, kills faith, attracts negative people, kills creativity etc.
Ps 106:25 They grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to God’s voice
- It blocks the voice and direction of the Holy spirit etc.
Ps 78:40-42 How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert! 41 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. 42 They did not remember His power
- It limits God's power, and causes us to forget His faithfulness
Phil 4:4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!
- It brings hopelessness and depression and robs joy
Phil 2:14 Do everything without complaining and arguing
-
It makes us unthankful and ungrateful – we can’t praise God and complain simultaneously
-
Complaining is a Sin that Callouses the Heart and Removes Faith
Js 4:7 (nlt) It is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it
- Sin says you will be satisfied, but the sin only satisfies temporarily
- Sin hardens the heart from trusting God wholeheartedly
- Sin separates us from the presence of God
- Sin keeps us in the past and locks future blessings up
- Sin must be repented of and renounced – go forward
Heb 12:1-2 (MSG) We’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed
- Stop Complaining and Go Forward the Lord is With Us
2 Ks 16:16-17 “What shall we do?” So he answered “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha
- When we stop complaining it allows us to see from God's perspective
Is 43:18-19 (nlt) Do not remember the things that have happened before. Do not think about the things of the past. 19 See, I will do a new thing. It will begin happening now
Phil 3:13-14 (nlt) I focus on one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what’s ahead 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ, is calling us
Matt 8:22 Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead
Lk 9:62 No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God

Pastor Jason Lozano teaches that as God's children we need to learn how to spiritually fight in order to possess the promises of God. During spiritual warfare we gain the victory through the Power of God. As we honor, love and pursue the Power of God, and put on the Armor of God, we are guaranteed victory in every single fight against the enemy.
- The Violent Take it by Force – Snatch Away, Take by Sudden Force
Matt 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force
Matt 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it
- Taking What Belongs to You Through Spiritual Warfare
Eph 6:12-13,16-17 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles (Schemes & Strategies) of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 16 above all, take the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
- The shield of faith quenches all the lies of the evil one
Gen 3:1 the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say”
- Taking it through your sword – declaring the word of the lord
Rom 4:17 (As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did
Lk 4:4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”
Is 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn
- The Kingdom of God Refuses to be Intimidated by Fear
Eph 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand
Js 4:7 Submit to God, resist the Devil and he will flee from you
1 Pet 5:7-10 (niv) Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered (endured) a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever Amen
2 Tim 2:12 If we suffer (endure with Him), we shall also reign with Him
Num 13:32,33 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land 33 There we saw the giants and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight
Is 41:10 (gwt) Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. Don’t be intimidated; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand

Once the presence of God shows up in our life, we are never the same. The Church (the Temple) brings God's presence and with Him there is protection and blessing. The Bible teaches us that we (the Church) have the ability to release strength and favor to our city and Pastor Jason Lozano further shares that as the House of God goes, the City will go.
Restoring the House of David, the House of His Presence
- Restoring the House of His Presence for the Purpose of Encounter
Rev 3:7-8 He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens 8 I know your deeds. I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name
Acts 15:16-17 ‘I will return to you and raise up the tabernacle of David that has fallen into ruin. I will restore and rebuild what David experienced 17 so that all of humanity will be able to encounter the Lord including gentiles whom I have called to be my very own,’ says God
- When God’s House is Restored it Blesses the City and the People in it
Amos 9:13-14 (nlt) “The time will come,” says the Lord, “when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested. Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel will drip with sweet wine! 14 I will bring my exiled people back from distant lands, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again
- When a city receives the house of God, the church brings God’s presence, protection and blessing to the city #SHIFTATMOSPHERES
- What made Zion special, the honoring of the presence of God
- Zion was the hill of Jerusalem on which the city of David was built
- “Zion" stands for a society of unity, peace and freedom
Is 60:14 they will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One
Is 37:35 For my own honor and for the sake of my servant David (The church) I will defend this city and protect it
Prov 11:10-11 The blessing that rests on the righteous releases strength and favor to the entire city, but shouts of joy will be heard when the wicked one dies. 11 The blessing of favor resting upon the righteous influences a city to lift it higher and to bring the City into prosperity
Is 62:4 Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City” or “Desolate Land.” Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight” and “The Bride of God,” for the LORD delights in you and will claim you as his bride
- The Honor of Building God a Prized Possession
1 Chron 22:5 (nlv) The house that is to be built for the Lord must be very beautiful. It must be very great, and well-known in all the Nations. So I will make preparations and get things ready for it to be built
1 Chron 29:1-3 (nlv) It is a very big work because this beautiful house is not for man, but for the Lord God. 2 I have given all that I have been able to give for the house of my God. 3 The house of my God means so much to me. 9 Then the people were filled with joy because they had been so willing to give. They gave their gift to the Lord with a whole heart. And King David was filled with great joy
Deut 16:16-17 No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed: 17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you
2 Cor 9:6-7,11
Gal 6:7,9

The temple of God is not just any building—it's God's House set apart like no other building for His own special purposes. As God's people, what we do with God's House directly affects our house. It is an honor to make preparations to build and take care of God's House. Pastor Jason Lozano shares that as we seize the moment to take care of the temple of God, we can get ready for the Glory of God.
Seizing The Moment - When God Decides to Trust Us to Build His House
- What We Do With God’s House Directly Affects Our House
Haggai 1:2-4 Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying: ‘This people says, “The time has not come, the time that the Lord’s house should be built.” 3 Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this
temple to lie in ruins?”
● We are in this world but not of this world, we are God’s people
● The temple is not just any building, it’s God’s house set apart like no
other building for His own special purposes
1 Chronicles 12:32 they understood the times and knew what Israel
should do
● Time (Kairos) An appointed time or season, a moment of maximum
opportunity, it is a moment when change is possible and a
moment when all things “come together” and align
● We must seize this moment in time and walk through the open door
Revelations 3:8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name
● I believe the reason why God is trusting us with this awesome
responsibility, we have been and will be all about the saving of souls
- What An Honor For Us To Make Preparations To Build God’s House
Haggai 1:8 “Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord
● Temple – palace, sanctuary, a spacious royal splendid building
1 Chronicles 22:5 (nlv) The house that is to be built for the Lord must be very beautiful. It must be very great, and well-known in all the Nations. So I will make preparations and get things ready for it to be built
1 Chronicles 29:1-3,9 (nlv) It is a very big work because this beautiful house is not for man, but for the Lord God. 2 I have given all that I have been able to give for the house of my God. 3 The house of my God means so much to me. 9 Then the people were filled with joy because they had been so willing to give. They gave their gift to the Lord with a whole heart. And King David was filled with great joy
2 Corinthians 9:7 (gwt) Each of you should give whatever you have decided. You shouldn’t be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give, since God loves a cheerful giver
- Get Ready For The Glory of God
Haggai 2:7-9 ‘I will shake all nations, and they shall come to you, the desire of all nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. 9 ‘The glory of this 2nd temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place, I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts
● Glory – weightiness, heavy, substantial, honor, splendor, power,
wealth, dignity, riches and excellency
Isaiah 60:13 (tlb) The glory will be yours to beautify My sanctuary. My Temple will be glorious

Building our God a Temple affects our House. God is our protector, provider and defender. When God’s house is in order, the believer’s house will be set in order too. As the body of Christ builds His Church (His Temple), God will bless the believer’s house and allow it to grow supernaturally. As Pastor Jason Lozano shares, “We can build our house all we want. But unless the Lord builds the house, our labor is in vain.”

- To Accomplish God’s Purpose We Must Conquer Our Souls
2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new
The new birth is a spiritual birth not a mental or physical birth
1 Thess 5:23-24 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
The soul – mind, will and emotions and the body are not made new so here is where Satan tries to take advantage of us
The most important thing we can teach a new Christian is the renewing of the mind as a defense against Satan
If the believer doesn’t deal with his soul and body he will continually be opening the door to the devil
Eph 4:27 nor give place to the devil
- How Receiving and Practicing the Word Saves the Soul
Js 1:21-22 lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves
Engrafted – to implant, planting seeds and allowing them to grow
Save (sozo) deliver, protect, heal, preserve to make well and whole
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, living, powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
1 Pet 1:22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth
Hearing and doing the Word changes our souls, this is not God’s responsibility, this is our responsibility
Js 4:7 obey God resist the devil and he will flee from you
The major way believers close the door to the devil is to get their minds renewed with the Word and by practicing the Word
- If We Fail to Renew the Mind We Forfeit God’s Purposes for Our Lives
Rom 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God
If the believer never learns to renew his mind he will keep thinking like he used to think before he was redeemed
Go to God, He knows who you truly are and who you’re created to be
The word separates our soul for God’s purposes
Eph 5:26 sanctify (separate) her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word
Phil 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus

- God Had a Purpose in Mind When He Called You
Phil 3:12 that I may lay hold of the reason that Jesus laid hold of me
Jn 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last
- Don’t Allow Satan and the Flesh to Separate You From God’s Purposes
Acts 26:18-19 (tpt) And you will open their eyes to their true condition, so that they may turn from darkness to the Light and from the power of Satan to the power of God. By placing their faith in me they will receive the total forgiveness of sins and be made holy, taking hold of the inheritance that I give to my children!’ “So you see, King Agrippa, I have not been disobedient to what was revealed to me from heaven
Satan wants to separate us from our purpose through fear, the flesh, sins, insecurity, distraction, but stay focused on God’s will
Js 4:13-17 you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin
Ex 3:9-11 their cry has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the them out of Egypt ?
If Moses doesn’t conquer his excuses the people don’t get free
Ex 9:1 Tell Pharaoh to Let my people go, so they can worship me
- There are Benefits of Serving God’s Plan Now and Forever
Is 51:1-2 Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance, all who seek the Lord! Consider the rock from which you were cut, the hole from which you were mined. Yes, think about Abraham, your father, and Sarah, your mother. Abraham was only one man when I called him. But when I blessed him, he became a great nation
Heb 6:10 God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help
God will never be owed or out given, you will reap what you sow
Mk 10:29-30 “Anyone who leaves his home behind and chooses me over children, parents, family, and possessions, all for the sake of the gospel, it will come back to him a hundred times as much in this lifetime homes, family, mothers, brothers, sisters, children, possessions along with persecutions. And in the age to come, he will inherit eternal life.
Our motives are pure on why we obey God, but He blesses obedience
2 Cor 5:6,9-10 We live with a joyful confidence, yet at the same time we take delight in the thought of leaving our bodies behind to be at home with the Lord. So whether we live or die we make it our life’s passion to live our lives pleasing to him. For one day we will all be openly revealed before Christ on his throne so that each of us will be duly rewarded for our actions done in life, whether good or worthless
Rom 8:28,31 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

- Jesus Has Redeemed Us from the Bondage of the Fear of Death
Heb 2:14-15 only by dying could He break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could He set free (redeem) all who have lived their entire lives as (slaves to the fear of dying)
● Fear comes because there's not enough faith in Christ’s victory
● The biggest blessing in our lives will be the day we die
1 Cor 15:55,57 So death, tell me, where is your victory? Tell me death, where is your sting? we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One
● Living for our eternal purpose breaks the fear of death
Heb 9:27 Every human is appointed to die once, and then to face God’s judgment. But when we die we will be face-to-face with Christ, the One who experienced death once for all to bear the sins of many!
● The judgment seat is coming so work for God while it is day
2 Cor 5:6-10 That’s why we’re always full of courage. Even while we’re at home in the body, we’re homesick to be with the Master for we live by faith, not by what we see with our eyes. We live with a joyful confidence, yet at the same time we take delight in the thought of leaving our bodies behind to be at home with the Lord. So whether we live or die we make it our life’s passion to live our lives pleasing to him. For one day we will all be openly revealed before Christ on his throne so that each of us will be duly rewarded for our actions done in life, whether good or worthless
- I’ll Die After I’m Done, I Have a Job to Do
Phil 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus
● The old apostle knew it wasn’t his time to die yet because after he assessed his ministry he realized he wasn’t done yet
● Somewhere in our spirit there is a witness when we’re done for God
● He planted churches, preached everywhere, wrote most of the New Testament, preached in palaces yet he knew I’m not done yet
● He said I’m going to press on and punish and persecute my enemy
Phil 1:21-25 For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So, I really don’t know which is better. I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. But for your sake, it is better that I continue to live. Knowing this, I am convinced that I’ll remain alive so I can continue to help all of you grow
● Paul became so excited about departing he struggled to stay
● Departed - when your spirit just leaves your body and goes up and up
● To depart was also a military term that meant time to break camp, pack up, move on to new territory and your job is done
2 Tim 4:7-8 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, will award to me on that day and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing
● I have finished the race, the goal of my purpose in life
Ps 107:2

Woke - Redeemed by the blood of the lamb
Rev 12:11 (tpt) And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.
- I’m woke to the fact I‘ve been redeemed from Satan’s power
Eph 1:7 (nlt) He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom (Redemption) with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
• Redemption – to free, deliver and release from bondage by payment
• Jesus dies on the cross to set us free from the power of Satan who had imprisoned us by our sins and failures
Col 1:13-14 (nlt) For he has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, 14 who purchased our freedom (redemption) and forgave our sins.
1 Pet 1:18-19 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ
- I’m woke to the fact that the fear of death has no sting
Heb 2:14-15 only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. 15 Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as (slaves to the fear of dying.) #woke
Lk 21:26,28 men’s hearts will fail them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Matt 10:28-31 “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 What is the price of two sparrows one copper coin ? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
1 Cor 15:55,57 (tpt) So death, tell me, where is your victory? Tell me death, where is your sting? 57 we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.
- I’m woke to the fact that He Has Redeemed me for a purpose #testify
Ps 107:2 Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.
• The judgment seat is coming so work for God while it is day
Heb 9:27 (tpt) Every human is appointed to die once, and then to face God’s judgment. 28 But when we die we will be face-to-face with Christ, the One who experienced death once for all to bear the sins of many!
2 Cor 5:8-10 I would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Jn 9:4 (nlt) We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.

Mk 4:35-40 (tpt) “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” Suddenly, as they were crossing the lake, a ferocious tempest arose, with violent winds and waves that were crashing into the boat until it was all but swamped. But Jesus was calmly sleeping in the stern, resting on a cushion. So they shook him awake, saying, “Teacher, don’t you even care that we are all about to die!” Fully awake, he rebuked the storm and shouted to the sea, “Hush! Calm down!” All at once the wind stopped and howling and the water became calm. Then he turned to his disciples and said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Haven’t you learned to trust yet?”

- A Father is Called to Bring Identity and Purpose to His Children
Rom 12:2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.
● We can’t allow cultural norms to identify what a healthy father is
● Our role is to see their potential and shape them in the call of God
● God called us to reflect His character and nature to our families
● Our lives must model love, forgiveness, mercy, strength, courage, faith, generosity, obedience, submission, honor, loyalty, destiny, and model the vision of discipleship
Matt 3:17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
- A Father is Called to Break Curses and Bring Blessings Upon His House
Gen 12:1-3 Now the Lord had said to Abram “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Ps 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the Lord will take care of me.
Mal 4:6 And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
● If there is not a father in the family then let God become that and allow the fathers in God’s house become role models to your house
● This is why discipleship and spiritual training is so vital in this hour
1 Tim 1:18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy,
2 Kings 2:12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more.
- A Father is Called to be the Spiritual Leader in His Family
Gen 18:19 I’ve chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he promised.
● God called Abraham because he would train his children spiritually
● Our first disciples are the children the Lord has lent us
Deut 4:9 teach them to your children and to your grandchildren.
Eph 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.
1 Tim 3:4 He should be a good leader in his own home. His children must obey and respect him.
Deut 6:5-11 you must love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and with all your strength. Keep these words in your heart that I am telling you today. Do your best to teach them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as something special to see on your hand and on your forehead. Write them beside the door of your house and on your gates. “The Lord your God will bring you into the land He promised to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give to you. There will be big and beautiful cities which you did not build. Houses will be full of good things which you did not fill.

Ps 27:1-3 The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear Though war may rise against me, In this I am confident
- The Father Loves Me and I Will Not Be Afraid
1 Jn 4:18 There’s no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, for fear brings torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love
Ps 118:6 The LORD is with me; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
Is 41:10 Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness
- There’s Confidence & Freedom from Fear in Fathers Love #Stronghold
Ps 27:1 The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
Prov 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe
● Strength - A place of refuge, safety, protection, shelter, stronghold
● I will place myself under this powerful protection
Ps 91:2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust”
Is 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.

Phil 4:6-9 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
● The enemy will try to use worry and anxiety to control us
● Worry is a choking fear that steals people's ability to enjoy life
● Choke – suffocate, to smother, asphyxiate, to choke, to throttle
● Worry is how satan chokes the word of God out of our lives
Matt 13:22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful
2 Tim 3:1 understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to deal with]
Luke 21:34 But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life , and that day come on you unexpectedly
1 Pet 5:7-9 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith

- The Power of God in Jesus’ Earthly Ministry
Is 10:27 it shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken
away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will
be destroyed because of the anointing oil
● Satan hates the anointing – because it destroys his works
Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and
with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him
Lk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised
- Jesus Made the Same Explosive Power Available to Us
Acts 1:8 you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere in Jerusalem, Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth
● The purpose for the power is to save, heal and to set free
Mk 16:17-18 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name
they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will
take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means
hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover
Matt 28:19 go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
● The purpose of the power is to make disciples to carry on the vision
● If the early church knew they needed this power so do we
Acts 5:12, 15-16 through the hands of the apostles many signs and
wonders were done among the people. so that they brought the sick
out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the
shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed
● In the Last Days Satan wants to separate God’s power from His church
2 Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof
from such turn away
1 Cor 2:4-5 my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of
man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. That
your faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God
- Faith in the Power of God is the Key to it Manifesting
Heb 4:2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but
the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with
faith in those who heard it. (Without faith our gospel has no power)
● Faith is the fuse that ignites the dynamite explosive power of God
Lk 5:17-19, 24 men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus. When He saw their faith, He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go home”
● Power was available to all, but it was her faith that connected her
Lk 8:44-45, 48 But Jesus said,“who touched Me, for I felt power going out from Me.” And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

The Quarantined Family – Faith and Patience Always Produce Wins
- I Know Your Patience – Faith and Patience Always Work Together
Rev 2:2-3 I know your works, your labor, your patience, and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary.
1 Cor 13:4,7 Love is patient It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Heb 6:10-15 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that
you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise
- Understand How Temptations, Tests and Trials Work for Us
Js 1:2-3 be very happy when you are tested in different ways. You know that such testing of your faith produces endurance.
● Satan wants us to break down and to break from the word
● He wants to move us into frustration, this is not faith and Patience
● If he gets our eyes off the lord and on circumstances, he can steal our faith through offense, fear, discouragement, bad confessions or sin
1 Jn 5:4 this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith.
● Satan is our trainer, he sends temptation, trials, test to destroy
us, but we use them to get stronger, develop our character
● Temptations, trials, test are indicators to let us know our level
● We Grow - What was hard to believe for is easier now, because our
faith has been tested, proven and developed
Rom 8:25 But if we must keep trusting God for something that hasn’t happened yet, it teaches us to wait patiently and confidently.
- The Testing and Developing of Patience Leaves Us Lacking Nothing
Js 1:4 Endure until your testing is over. Then you will be mature and complete, and you won’t need anything.
Gen 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many
● What the devil meant to destroy me God has turned for my good
● That's why we go from faith to faith (Rom 1:17) from glory to glory; From strength to strength from power to power from favor to favor
Ps 105:19 until what he had predicted came true. The word of the Lord proved him right.
Js 5:11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard
of the patience of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
Job 42:10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Heb 10:34-39 Nothing they did bothered you, nothing set you back. So don’t throw it all away now. You were sure of yourselves then. It’s still a sure thing! But you need to stick it out, staying with God’s plan so you’ll be there for the promised completion. It won’t be long now, he’s on the way; he’ll show up most any minute. But anyone who is right with me thrives on loyal trust; if he cuts and runs, I won’t be very happy. But we’re not quitters who lose out. Oh, no! We’ll stay with it and survive, trusting all the way.

- A First Love - Recognizing and Valuing Someone at the Highest Level
Rev 2:1-4 To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things
says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the
midst of the seven golden lamp stands: “I know your works, your labor,
your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you
have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found
them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have
labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless
I have this against you, that you have left your first love
● They fell in love with Jesus and it completely changed their way of
life, they were totally sold out to Jesus with no sorrows or regrets,
with no boundaries to their love, and no limits to their sacrifice
Deut 6:5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, and with all your strength.
Lk 7:47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much . But to whom little is forgiven , the same loves little
Jer 29:11,13 I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans of
peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart
Acts 19:18-19 many who had believed came confessing and telling their
deeds. Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their
books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up
the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver
- We Must Fight to Remember, It Brings Brokenness and Humility
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do
the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your
lamp stand from its place—unless you repent
Ps 34:18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the humble
Ps 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds
Is 57:15 I dwell with the oppressed and humble of spirit, to restore the
spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite
Is 66:2 I will bless those who have humble and broken hearts
Matt 23:12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who
humbles himself will be exalted
Deut 8:11-14 Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not
keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I
command you today, lest when you have eaten and are full, and have
built beautiful houses and dwell in them; and when your herds and
your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all
that you have is multiplied; when your heart is lifted up, and you
forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from
the house of bondage
● We need these memorials to remind us and the next generations of
the goodness and faithfulness of God so we never forget it
Ps 51:12,16-17 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me
by Your generous Spirit. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would
give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are
a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart, God You will not despise
● Repentance begins with honesty - Compare where your heart is
today versus where it was when you first fell in love with Jesus
● For many, quarantine has been a blessing in disguise

● Faith connects us to His blessing, faith works through love
Heb 11:11 It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep His promise
Gal 5:6 Faith working through love
1 Cor 13:4-8 Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]

1 Sam 1:10-17 Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord. And she made this vow: “O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut. ” As she was praying to the Lord, Eli watched her. Seeing her lips moving but hearing no sound, he thought she had been drinking. “Must you come here drunk?” he demanded. “Throw away your wine!” “Oh no, sir!” she replied. “I haven’t been drinking wine or anything stronger. But I am very discouraged, and I was pouring out my heart to the Lord. Don’t think I am a wicked woman! For I have been praying out of great anguish and sorrow.” “In that case,” Eli said, “go in peace! May the God of Israel grant the request you have asked him.”
2 Ks 4:26 ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’” “Everything is all right,” she said

Gen 12:1-3 “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
We find God giving Abraham this blessing, then Isaac, then to Jacob
Ex 20:5-6 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Curses and blessings are generational, but the blessing is stronger
Num 23:8,20 “How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
Is 51:2-3 (nlv) Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who birthed you. When he was but one, I called him. Then I brought good to him and made him many.” For the Lord will comfort Zion. He will comfort all her waste places. He will make her desert like Eden, like the garden of the Lord. Joy and happiness will be found in her. There will be much giving of thanks and much singing.
Faith connects us to His blessing , Faith works through love

Ps 91:13-16 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”
- Because You Set Your Love on Him Expect to Advance, Not to Retreat
Lk 10:19-20 I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
● Trample – to walk, go, march, a forceful advancing, creating paths
Matt 11:12 the kingdom suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Mk 16:18 they’ll take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will
not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.
- Because You Set Your Love on Him Expect Deliverance From Trouble
Ps 34:4,17 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all
my fears. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them
out of all their troubles.
● One thing about trouble is that it doesn’t outlast God’s faithfulness
● He never promised a trouble-free life, but He did promise deliverance
Is 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through
the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire,
you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
Ps 66:12 we went through fire and through water (Corona-19) : but
thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

- By Faith You Made God Your Refuge So Expect Victory
Ps 91:8-12 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
● Dwelling Place means He has become my Sanctuary, Protection, Coziness, Splendor, Companion, Rock, Shield, Refuge, Stronghold, Fortress, House, Tent, Shelter, Secret Place, Hiding Place
Gen 14:22-23 Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth 23 that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’

● One scholar translated this to one trillion angels 20,000 per believer

Gal 3:14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon us Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith
- If We Say of the Lord He is My Refuge, Fortress, and Trust, Fear Leaves
Ps 91:2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust”
Ps 27:1-4 The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident. One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple
David knew the blessing of confidence comes from His presence
Ps 17:8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings
- Satan is Afraid of What Happens to Us in the Presence of the Almighty
Ps 91:3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence
Gen 3:9-10 “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself”
1 Jn 3:21 if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence with God

- In His Presence is Where We Get Heaven’s Perspective #angelscovering

2 Kings 16:15-17 “Oh, my master, what are we to do?” Elisha said, “Don’t be afraid, for those who are with us outnumber those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, please open his eyes and let him see.” So the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw that the mountain was covered with horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha
Ps 34:4-9 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. 5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

- Part of Loving God is Living Right
1 Jn 4:17-19 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us
1 Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome
Jn 14:15 If you love Me, keep (do) My commandments
1 Jn 3:21 if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence with God (When we’re living right, confidence and boldness follow)
Remember, living right doesn’t change God, it changes us When we have confidence toward God it’s easier to stay in faith
- When We Sin, Learn to Run to God’s Presence and Not Away From It
Gen 3:9-10 “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself”
One of the main reasons Satan will tempt us to sin is to condemn us because the natural reaction is to stay away from God
Condemnation will say, God is mad at you, and how you can’t receive
God is love and the devil knows that in His presence all fear must go
Ps 16:11 in Your presence there is fullness of joy
Eph 2:12-13 you were without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ
Heb 4:15-16 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need
1 Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us of our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness
- When There is Forgiveness and Repentance, There is Always Healing
Ps 103:3 He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases
Num 16:47-48 and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people. And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed
Atonement is to be at one with, forgiveness puts us one with God Instead of us being judged for our sins, God judged His Son for us Once our sins are judged and erased healing is now our right
Ps 103:12 He has removed our sins as far from us as east is from west
2 Chron 7:14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land
Is 40:2 “Speak comfort to the heart of My people, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned (Forgiven); for she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins”

- Jesus is the Word, So Keep your Eyes on His Words
Heb 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith
● Looking – undivided attention, looking away from all distractions in
order to fix ones attention on one object
● The main way Satan gets his fear into us is through our mind gates
- How in the World am I Supposed to Control My Thoughts?
2 Cor 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty
through God to the pulling down of strong holds Casting down
imaginations (arguments) and every high thing that exalts itself against
the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the
obedience of Christ (we are to arrest every word that doesn’t line up)
● The enemy knows if you lose in your thought life, you will lose
1 Pet 5:7-9 Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you Be
sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a
roaring lion seeking whom he may devour Resist him steadfast in faith
● When we remove a fear filled thought, we replace it with the word
Ps 112:1,7 Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in
His commands. He will not be afraid of bad news His heart is steadfast,
trusting in the Lord. His heart is established; He will not be afraid
Is 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God
stands forever.”
- Don’t Take Satan’s Thoughts of Fear By Speaking Them, but Say What
Jesus Says
Matt 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat?
● This is not a suggestion this is a command
● The mind cannot think one thing while speaking something different
Rom 10:16-17 But they have not all obeyed the gospel (good news). For
Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” So then faith comes
by hearing, and hearing (and hearing, and hearing) by the word of God.
● While speaking the word, your building faith by hearing yourself
Is 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall
not return to Me void, (useless, without result), But it shall accomplish
what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Matt 4:10-11 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written:
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
Prov 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who
love it will eat its fruit.
Heb 13:5-8 “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly
say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God
to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
● When dealing with stubborn thoughts rebuke the devil in Jesus name
Phil 2:9-10 God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is
above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and those under the earth
Is 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every
tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn

- Sink or Swim the Choice is Ours - God and Satan Want Our Focus
Heb 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith
● Looking – undivided attention, looking away from all distractions in order to fix one's attention on one object, (All eyes on Jesus only)
Matt 14:29-31,33 “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me! And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” Then they worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God. (Fear lost his worship all eyes were now on Jesus)
- Keep Your Eyes on Jesus as the Prince of Peace #yourinheritance
Jn 14:27 Peace I leave you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
● Peace - rest, quietness and calmness, absence of strife, tranquility
Jn 16:24 Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full
Phil 4:6-9 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Now, brothers, as I close this letter, let me say this one more thing: Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about
Is 26:3 You (Jesus) will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
● Peace also means harmonious relationships with God and man
Col 3:13,15-16. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. (worship Jesus not fear)
Phil 4:9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you
- All Eyes on Me - Jesus is the Author and the Finisher of our Faith
Phil 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ
● Keep your eyes on Jesus who protects and delivers you from the fire
Dan 3:25 “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”
● Look at Jesus on the cross so you could be healed
Num 21:8 “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” (Gal 3:13)
● Keep your eyes on Jesus who defeated death and hell and the grave
Phil 2:9-10 God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and those under the earth

Public Enemy Number One – The Spirit of Fear
- Fear Thoughts Produce a Defeated Expectation
2 Tim 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear (dread, uneasiness, anxiousness) but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
• Fear is a spirit and like all spirits they have no hope of salvation
Luke 21:26-28 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” (look up not down or at bad circumstances)
• Sound mind - safe thinking, good judgement, disciplined thought patterns, the ability to understand, make right decisions, and it also means self-controlled thoughts, and fear makes people irrational
• Men’s hearts will fail them because of fear based expectation
• What we expect will produce faith and connect us to victory (joy) or fear will produce torment and connect us to defeat and death
I Jn 4:18 There’s no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, for fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love
- Fear Always Rushes in When Faith is Not Present
Mk 4:35,37-38 “Let us cross over to the other side.” And a great storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, (“Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”)
• I’m afraid of what, we must identify and confront this with the truth
Jn 8:31-32 “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
- Conquering Fear Through the Heart and Mouth Connection #release
Lk 8:25 But He said to them, “Where is your faith?”
• Where is it? - At what point did you leave your faith, what stole it
Mk 4:15 As soon as they hear it (The word), Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in them
• They were highly developed in the fear of death, and they were in the clutches of the spirit of fear and it was only going to get worse
Heb 2:15 he releases those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
• Fear God Only – to reverence, honor and be in awe of, we will not reverence or honor sickness and disease, we will be wise and smart but will never worship fear, never afraid
Prov 4:20-24 My son, pay attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Guard your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you. (Minds = hearts = mouth = our life)
Matt 12:34 For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
Prov 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

- Sozo Came Because of Compassion, Mercy, and it Healed His Mind
Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him
Sozo – To heal, save, make well or to make whole
Lk 8:2, 34-35 And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid
Right mind – A sound mind, safe thinking, good judgment, disciplined thought patterns, the ability to understand, make right decisions, and it also means self-controlled thoughts.
2 Tim 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind

And immediately her flow of blood stopped. But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me. He said to her “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace
For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well”
The healing of God gave this woman her dignity back
- Sozo Came When Fear Was Conquered and Haters Removed
Lk 8:48, 51-56 when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.” When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead. But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. And her parents were astonished,
Is 54:14 You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you
- Now Go and Build Me a House so My Healing Power Can Be Proclaimed
Lk 8:38-39 the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.“ And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him
Mark 5:27 When she heard about Jesus,
Rom 10:14,15 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring good news.

They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the promise land Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves.

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Mark 12:30-31 love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, mind, and with all your strength. 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these
- Love the Lord with All Your Heart and Life
Gen 15:1 Do not fear, Abram I am your shield, your very great reward.
Ps 27:1,4,8 The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid? The one thing I want from God, the thing I seek most of all, is the privilege of meditating in his Temple, living in his presence every day of my life, When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
Life without the touch of heaven or that supernaturalness of God’s presence is a weak and dissatisfied life
Ps 63:1 I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this dry and weary land where there is no water.
Ps 42:1-2,5 As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again my Savior and my God
Fear and discouragement leave when we encounter God’s presence
In His presence we receive His joy and His view point (promises)
1 Sam 30:6 David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was bitter, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened (and encouraged) himself in the (presence of) the Lord his God
Ps 16:11 In Your presence is fullness of joy
Neh 8:10 Don’t be sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!
1 Jn 4:18,19 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has fully matured in love, We love Him because He first loved us
- Love and Serve the Lord with All Your Strength – Loving His Purposes
Deut 10:12 what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
Acts 13:22,36 when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’ “For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers
1 Ks 8:17 it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
2 Sam 7:2-3 “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells inside a tent.” Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.”
2 Cor 9:7-8 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work
Rom 8:28, 31 we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

- Hungering and Thirsting After God and His Right-ness in Your Life
Matt 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
Ps 63:1 I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this dry and weary land where there is no water.
Ps 42:1-2,5 As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again my Savior and my God!
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Hungry for the (right-ness) of God in every area of life, in my health, wealth, family, soul, my freedom etc.
The greatest gift I can give to you is to teach you to hunger for God
There are many different facets to the nature of God, like a priceless diamond, the more we hunger for him the more He is revealed to us
From every angle, as our souls cry approaches him, we see a different side of him, His love, tenderness, power, might, wisdom, joy etc.
Matt 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Ps 37:4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
- Time to Help Others to Get Right
Is 55:1 "Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost.
Jn 6:35 I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.
When OUR HEARTS CRY is met, now God expects US to help other men experience that revelation of His love
Jn 4:13-15 "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
Jn 4:39,42 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”
Mk 5:2-5,18-20 immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who lived among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. But Jesus said, “No, go home to your friends and family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.” So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.
I’ve heard the cry of the people, and now I’m sending you to pharaoh

Liberate the City1. The Call - Go and Tell the Pharaoh of Whittier To Let My People Go Ex 3:9-10 the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.To obey or not to obey that is the question 1 Sam 15:22 Behold, to obey is better than sacrificeActs 13:22 when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’Mark 5:2-5 when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones. (Ps 34:6 This poor man cried and the Lord Heard) The gift of Freedom he received now he must freely give it away Mark 5:18-20 And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. 19 However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” 20 And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.Matt 10:7-8 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 2. A Committed and United Army Will Get the Job Done at all Cost Phil 3:12 I have not attained, or am already perfected; but I press on that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of mePerfected – to complete, accomplish, carry through to the end, bring to a successful conclusion, reach a goal, fulfill, bring to maturity We can’t bind the strongman and allow division at the same time If we bind the demonic powers, the people must be let goMatt 12:25, 28-30 every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroadMatt 12:48,50 “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 50 For whoever does the will (Plan, Dream, Desire) of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother. #commitment 3. We Must Trust God All the Way and it Will Happen Just Like He Said2 Chron 20:20 Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.Believe (aman) to be firm, to be established, to believe solidlyBe established in the Lord and you will be established Acts 27:25 Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.
Roar – The Power of Prayer 1. Prayer is Spending Time in The Father’s PresencePs 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.John 15: 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.Prayer is not a ritual; prayer is a relationship with your Heavenly Father – He loves to spend time with youWhen we know His goodness, we yearn to be in His presenceSometimes I can hear in my heart, “ I miss you, I cant wait to spend more time with you”Ex 33: 11 Inside the Tent of Meeting (presence), the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Afterward Moses would return to the camp, but the young man who assisted him, Joshua son of Nun, would remain behind in the Tent of Meeting.Luke 6: 12 He (Jesus) spent the whole night in prayer to God.Mark 1: 35 Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.2. Prayer is a Place of Repentance and Humility Ps 139: 23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.2 Chron 7: 14 If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.1 John 1: 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.3. In Prayer, We Must Remain in Childlike FaithMatt 7: 7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.James 5: 16 The effective, fervent (Fire, hot) prayer of a righteous man avails much.4. In Prayer, We Hear His Call and We RespondEx 3: 4 …God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”Ex 3: 7-8 And the Lord said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8 So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land…Ex 3: 11-12 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” 12 So He said, “I will certainly be with you….Matt 28: 18-19 “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

Roar – Releasing the Fire of God1. Putting High Value and Honor on the Fire of God Matt 3:11 He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.Acts 1:5,8 you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses • God’s fire brings holiness, separation, judgment against enemies, breaks indifference and brings great power and boldness• Jesus is the baptizer (dip, immerse) in the Holy Spirit and fire• Power - (dunamis) to be under power, dynamite, explosive, might, energy, great force, great ability, great strength 2. How to Get the Fire of God - Bring Them Back Into My Presence Lk 24:49 “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here (WAIT) in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”Ex 33:11 Inside the Tent of Meeting (presence), the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Afterward Moses would return to the camp, but the young man who assisted him, Joshua son of Nun, would remain behind in the Tent of Meeting.• Remaining in the presence of God does something to you • God lights the fire, but it is our responsibility to keep it burning • When we spend time with Him, He sets us on fire like Himself • Be filled and filled - private intimacy produces public powerEph 5:18 Don’t get drunk with wine, because it makes you lose control. Instead, keep on being filled with the Holy Spirit #LiquidFireJude 1:20 build yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. (Charge yourself up like a battery.)Isa 40:31 (NIV) those who hope (wait) in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Luke 6:12 He spent the whole night in prayer to God.3. Don’t Get All Caught Up – the Battle Ground for His Presence Rev 2:2-5 “I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance. I know you don’t tolerate evil people. You have examined the claims of those who say they are apostles but are not. You have discovered they are liars. You have patiently suffered for me without quitting. “But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first! Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. If you don’t repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches.In consistency lies the power – don’t ever lose your prayer life There’s always loss when we neglect the presence of GodRepenting for sin the sin of prayerlessness Luke 10:39-42 Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”(supposed to be sitting she was serving) Faith comes by hearing the Word of Godgo2freedom.org@go2fcc#go2fcc

God is With Us, I Shall Not Be Afraid1.

How is it that you have no faith?”• Identify Fear – not knowing what the fear is, is what gives it power• Once the fear is identified, we must attack it with God’s promisesLk 8:25 But He said to them, “Where is your faith?”2.

When Love Bled It Made Us Right With God1. As a Born Again Believer, You Are Now the Righteousness of God2 Cor 5:20-21 we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled (restored) to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.Rom 5:10 when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son Reconciled – re-established, restore relationships, make things right Jesus was made to be sin with man’s sinfulness, in order for man to be made righteous with His righteousness.He became what we were so we could become what He is nowThe born again believer has been made the righteousness of God; He demands that we accept this in our hearts and minds2.

Because I Am Right With God, I Have Confidence in God’s Promises for Me Rom 4:3 “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” (Righteousness is our foundation for faith)We have to see ourselves, by faith, the way God sees us - Many don’t doubt God’s power or promises; the doubt comes in God’s power and promises for them. Honor – To value, appreciate, and to respect; to dishonor is to treat as common and ordinary We must honor the blood and the work of the cross by calling ourselves what God said we already are, by faith Develop an “I am what God said I am” mentality and confession Rom 4:17 (It is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did4. The Same Way We Went After Sin, Let Us Go After Our Righteousness1 Cor 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sinRom 6:19 (NIV) Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.Jn 8:11 (NIV) "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." 1 Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.Faith comes by hearing the word of God. @go2fcc#go2fcc
When Love Bleeds – The Blood of JESUS Redeems and Forgives Me1. The Price Paid to Purchase Our Freedom Was Jesus’ Shed BloodEph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace● Redemption – released secured by the payment of a ransom,deliverance, setting free from every yoke of bondage● A conqueror releasing prisoners; a master ransoming a slave● Redemption through Christ’s blood breaks the power of Satan andsets man free from all of his bondagesJn 8:32,36 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set youfree.” 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.Gal 5:1, 7-9 (NIV) It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Standfirm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke ofslavery. (NKJV) 7 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying thetruth? 8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 9 Alittle leaven leavens the whole lump.Matt 12:43-45 (NIV) When an impure spirit comes out of a person, itgoes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then itsays, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds thehouse unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes andtakes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go inand live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than thefirst. (We have been set free but now we must fill the house LSOF)Col 1:13-14 (NIV) For he has rescued (Delivered) us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.2. Through His Blood, I Am Forgiven2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; oldthings have passed away; behold, all things have become new.● The blood of Jesus forgives and restores man to His righteousnessso he can once again stand in the Father's presence, withoutshame or guilt1 Jn 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you maynot sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate (The attorney whostands by our side) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.● Forgiveness is a relationship word – when a child of God sins, hebreaks his fellowship with the Father, not his relationship● Just as a husband and wife do when they say an unkind word, itdestroys the fellowship of the home, but that can be restored byasking for forgiveness● The moment we sin and fellowship with the Father is broken, wemust confess our sins and He will forgive and cleanse us● The devil wants to keep you and me out of prayer with guilt1 Jn 1:7,9 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we havefellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Soncleanses us from all sin. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that wemay obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that ifwe ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we knowthat He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have thepetitions that we have asked of Him.Js 5:16 The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power andproduces wonderful results.

God Builds His Church Through a United People Willing to Sacrifice1. One Heart, One Soul – Staying in Tune With God and One AnotherActs 4:32-37 Now the multitude of those who believed were of oneheart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things hepossessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 Andwith great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of theLord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was thereanyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. 36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.• One mind – breathing spiritually together like a healthy body• The spirit of unity and generosity always produces miracle power• Unity produced great grace, mega ability, and mega favor• Unity helps produce God’s purpose and meets the needs• Example: He didn’t seek recognition, He sought Heaven’s purpose.Neh 4:6 So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined togetherup to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.Ps 133:1-3 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren todwell together in unity! 3 For there the lord commanded the blessingLife forevermore.2. We Are to Give Sacrificially in Faith, Without Fear or Worry1 Kings 17:9-16 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, anddwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide foryou.” 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came tothe gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, that Imay drink.” 11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her andsaid, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” 12 So she said,“As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful offlour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a coupleof sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.” 13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son.14 For thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sendsrain on the earth.’” 15 So she went away and did according to theword of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days.16 The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry,according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah. When we take care of God’s house, He takes care of oursMatt 6:31-33 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all thesethings the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that youneed all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and Hisrighteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.Mark 10:29-30 So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you,there is no one who has left (sowed) house or brothers or sisters orfather or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and thegospel’s, 30 who shall not receive a hundredfold now in thistime—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children andlands, with persecutions and in the age to come, eternal life.

Miracles on the Horizon - Kingdom Prayers Bring Kingdom Miracles 1. Heartfelt Prayers Make Tremendous Power Available Js 5:17-18 He (Elijah) prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. ● It seems like nothing happens in our lives apart from prayer ● Throughout the world, people begin to take the revival for granted. They forget the very thing that birthed the revival - prayer. Once continual and fervent prayer is forgotten, the revival is lost.● People don’t just come into the kingdom and get baptized Gal 4:19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you. 2. Great Miracles are Coming Into Our Families Through Prayer 1 Tim 2:4 who wants all people to be saved James 4:2 you have not because you ask not ● God is waiting for His children to ask for the souls of men Jn 16:23-24 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. Ps 2:8 Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance. Ez 22:30 I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. Gen 22:17 your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. ● The purpose of hell’s gates (walls) is to hold our spoils (souls) in Matt 16:18-19 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. ● Possessing the enemies gates through binding and loosing prayer ● Whatever you bind (forbid) and whatever you loose (permit) Matt 18:18-20 Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. Matt 12:28-30 If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters. 3. No Matter How Great the Harvest, He Needs Laborers to Gather Matt 9:36 The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

Some Miracles Happen Now and Some Miracles Take Time1. Faith and Patience Will Help Produce the MiraclesHeb 6:12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.Faith receives God’s promise now, and patience helps us to remain the same until the promise of God comes to passPatience without faith has no substance to create the futurePatience keeps the door open so our faith can keep workingPatience helps the Christian not to give up when they don't see it The longer it takes, the stronger we become through patienceHeb 10:35-38 do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance (patience), so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: Rom 4:19-21 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. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised2. Trials Don’t Make Us Stronger, It’s How We Respond to ThemJs 1:2-4 count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.The Test is what helps develop patience, not faith, because patience kicks in when the test shows up; it’s a grace from God to endure, but this grace, like any grace, must be developed The goal of Christianity is not trials and testing, it’s our victoryJames 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt We are warned to never say that God is sending the temptationTemptation is the same Greek word for test and trials Temptation is anything that applies pressure on the desires of the flesh; it’s the pressure that draws us away from God’s promises1 Cor 10:13 No temptation (test or trial) has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.3. While Waiting, Keep Your Thoughts on the Finisher of Your Faith Heb 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith2 Cor 10:4-5 the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, Josh 1:7-9 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the word do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this word depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 I Have commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Grace – Unearned favor, acceptance, a gift, and underserved blessingJn 19:30 He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.Is 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4 Surely He has borne our griefs(sicknesses) And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken,Smitten by God, and afflicted.5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. #thechildrensbread #GodswilltohealMatt 8:16-17 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.”2. The Robe of Righteousness – When he took our sins he took our sicknesses Lk 15:20-32 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. Isa 61:10 he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness The robe represented freedom from sin and its consequences He didn’t earn his father’s love but by faith he just received itWe can’t receive the father’s grace with a condemned heart2 Cor 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. #forgiveness&healingPs 103:2-3 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases1 Jn 3:20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. #Hisgraceissufficent3. The Serpent On a Pole – The act of faith for healingNum 21:8-9 the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.Jn 3:14 and as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted upInstead of looking at our sin and sickness, look to his forgiveness and healing, he became what we deserved so we could receive His graceGal 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)Redeemed – permanent removal from captivity (we are already free)Deut 28:60-61 Moreover He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. 61 Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed.Looking – undivided attention, looking away from distraction in order to fix ones gaze upon an objectHeb 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faithPs 107:2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so #DeclareIAmHealedTithes and Offering – The Blessing of the LordProv 10:22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.Mal 3:10-12 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessingThat there will not be room enough to receive it.Gen 26:12-13 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. 13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous
The Grace Exchange - Grace & Faith1. Grace – unearned Favor, Acceptance, a Gift, and undeserved BlessingJn 19:30 He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.Is 53:4-5 He has borne our griefs (sickness) And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.2. Receiving the Father’s Grace by FaithEph 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.Lk 15:20-32 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry. …….. 31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’”He didn’t earn his father’s love but by faith he received it.The other son represents the law. He thought he had to earn the blessing. He didn’t receive it by faith like the younger one.3. The Robe of Righteousness Isa 61:10 ..He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness. 2 Cor 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.When he took our sins he took our sicknesses as well.Ps 103:2-3 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases4. The Signet Ring of Covenant – All I have is yours #Authority&Wealth2 Cor 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.The Signet ring of kings would carry the highest authority in a land and empowered subordinates to act for the king. An example of such rings in the Bible are: Pharaoh's ring given to Joseph.Covenant – everything I have is yours and everything you have is mine.Illustration of the “Old Sicilian family” - Before the covenant he was weak after the covenant he was strong. Don’t mess with me I have grace that makes me more powerful.2 Cor 12:9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.Joel 3:10 Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’”5. The Shoes Represent Dignity For ShameRom 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ JesusRom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.Tithes and Offering - God Promises That His Provision Will Always ComePhil 4:17-19 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.Our giving is a sacrifice of our lives We get credit for the lives changed with our giving

I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey the home of your enemy 10 So now, go I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of EgyptPs 116:5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.Matt 20:29-34 So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.Mk 5:19 “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.”Mk 1:41-42 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed 42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.Mk 9:22-23 if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us." 23 Jesus said, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."Hosea 1:7 I will have compassion on your house and deliver them2. Where There Is Compassion, There Is RestorationJer 33:26 For I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.’”Jer 42:12 he will have compassion on you and restore you to your land.’Job 42:10 after Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.Js 5:11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.3. FFG’s Is God’s Compassion In Action, That Responds To The Needs Of OthersMatt 9:36-38 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”We are the church representing God’s son in the earth to a lost worldSympathy says, “I feel sorry for you and leaves you in the condition.”Compassion is a deep yearning that responds to the needs of othersLk 7:47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”4. Our Father’s Compassion Brings Forgiveness and ComfortPs 78:38 But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquityLk 15:20 “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.It doesn’t matter what they look like when they feel his touch and hear his voice they will never be the same againPs 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed2 Cor 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfortTithes and Offerings - Honoring God With Our GenerosityPs 35:27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause;And let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”Prov 3:9-10 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the first fruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
Tell The World (Part 2) – The Gospel
- The Good News - The Power Of Our Gospel
Matt 16:15-16 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
2 Cor 4:3-10 if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds Satan has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Is 61:1-4 The Spirit of the Lord God is on me, because the Lord has chosen me to bring good news to poor people. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted He has sent me to tell those who are being held in bondage and to those in prison that they can go free. He has sent me to tell about the Lord’s favor, and the day our God will bring punishment. He has sent me to comfort all who are filled with sorrow. To those who have sorrow in Zion I will give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes. I will give them the oil of joy instead of sorrow, and a spirit of praise instead of a spirit of no hope. Then they will be called oaks that are right with God, planted by the Lord, that He may be honored (strong and fruitful). They will build the cities again that were destroyed long ago. They will raise up what had been torn down, and will build the cities that were destroyed, and have lain waste through the years of many families and their children’s children.
Acts 26:18-20 I send you to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
Matt 1:5 The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
- Our Generosity In The Gospel Determines Its Reach
Rom 10:13-15“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
Ps 35:27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.
Mk 10:28-31 So Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, (good news) who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
- Our Heart In The Gospel Comes From Our Own Brokenness
1 Tim 1:15-17 Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-and I was the greatest of them all. But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as an example to show everyone how patient he is with even the worst sinners, so that others will realize that they, too, can have forgiveness of sin and everlasting life.
Deut 8:11-14 your heart is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
Ex 3:10 now therefore, behold, the cry of the people has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the world oppresses them. I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, out of Egyptian bondage.”
Matt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Tell The World – Why The Urgency?1. Why The Urgency?2 Cor 4:3-10 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels to tell the world, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.Lk 14:15-24 ‘Go out quickly (urgency) into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, maimed, lame and blind. Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.Soul winning is God’s heartbeat, so it’s our heartbeatCompel: to secure or to bring about by force, to force, to submit, & subdue - never allow the enemy to steal our urgency Js 5:19-20 My dear friends, if you know people who have wandered off from God's truth, don't write them off. Go after them. Get them back 20 that person who brings him back to God will have saved a wandering soul from death, bringing about the forgiveness of his many sins.Lk 19:10 "I have come to seek and to save that which was lost."Lk 16:19-31 In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.Jude 23 save some by snatching them from the very flames of hell itself.Lk 15:15 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.Prov 24:11-12 Rescue the perishing; don't hesitate to step in and help. 12 If you say, "Hey, that's none of my business," will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know Someone not impressed with weak excuses.2. Urgency is Created When We Remember – Passing the Prosperity TestDeut 8:11-14 your heart is lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;Rev 3:15-19 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.1 Tim 1:15-17 Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-and I was the greatest of them all. 16 But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as an example to show everyone how patient he is with even the worst sinners, so that others will realize that they, too, can have forgivness of sin and everlasting life.Tithes and Offering - The Purpose Of Our Generosity To The GospelPs 35:27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.We give because were gratefulWe give in Faith expecting our Father to blessLk 7:47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.1.

Faith Speaks –Faith Lessons From the Mother of Our FaithIs 54:1-5 “Sing, Childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into loud and joyful song, you who have never been in labor. For the childless woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband,” says the Lord. 2 “Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense! 3 For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your children will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities.1. Sarah and Isaac vs Hagar and IshmaelGal 4:23 But Ishmael, the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while Isaac the son of the free woman, Sarah was born through God’s promise.Heb 11:1 It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise.Hagar (Ishmael) impatience, born out fear based thinking and decision making, getting ahead of God, leaning on our own limitations, the flesh Sarah (Isaac) the promise of God born out of patience and endurance Hagar brings fear and bondage while Isaac brings faith, victory, joy and freedom from limitations and from past setbacks and mistakesProv 3:5-7 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.2. Mothers of Faith and Courage Sing in the Face of the ImpossibleIs 54:1 Break into loud and joyful song, you who have never been in labor.Gen 18:10-15 Abraham and Sarah were old by this time, very old. Sarah was far past the age for having babies. Sarah laughed and spoke within herself, “An old woman like me? Get pregnant? With this old man of a husband? 13 -14 God said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh saying, ‘Me? Have a baby? An old woman like me?’ Is anything too hard for God? I’ll be back about this time next year and Sarah will have a baby.” 15 Sarah lied. She said, “I didn’t laugh,” because she was afraid. But he said, “Yes you did; you laughed.”Heb 10:23 Let us hold on to the confession of hope we say we have and not be changed. We can trust God that He is Faithfull and will do what He promised.Faith lives or dies based on our internal conversations The devil is afraid of your confession, that’s why he puts the pressureProv 31:25 She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear at the future.3. There is Freedom From Yesterday’s MistakesGal 4:29-31 at that time the Ishmael son born according to the flesh attacked the Isaac son born by Faith. It is the same now. 30 For the Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son. 31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.We will never walk in tomorrow’s inheritance living in yesterday’s regrets. Our past will always attack our future, so cast it outIs 54:4 4 “Fear not; you’ll no longer live in shame. There’s no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood.
Faith Speaks – You’re a Mountain Mover1. Faith Speaks - Operating in the God Kind of FaithMk 11:20-23 Now in the morning, as they passed by and saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.Heb 11:3 By faith we know that the worlds were made by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.God said what he believed and wanted and he saw what he said We are made in God’s image and this is how He expects us to operateGen 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over all the earthRom 10:10 “The word is in your mouth and in your heart” (this is the word of faith we preach) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (No devil in hell can stop this powerful combo)2.

- How strife and trusting God effects our prosperity
Gen 13:6-9 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s and Lot’s. 8 So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, and our herdsmen 9 Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.” 10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the Lord. 11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.
Abraham took less because he trusted God with his future
As long as we’re in strife we’re not in faith and we have to take care of ourselves, Lot chose to take care of himself and became insignificant
Abraham chose to trust God and He became rich and powerful
Refusing to try to take care of yourself produces humility and that act of Faith places the believer in the direct line of God’s exaltation
1 Pet 5:6-7 humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Gen 12:1-3 The Lord had said to Abram: 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

Tormentors – Forever Free From Fear
- Declare Yourself Free From Fear
Rom 8:15 you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father”
2 Tim 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
1 Jn 4:18 there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear brings torment.
Heb 2:14-15 through death Jesus destroyed him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear were all their lifetime subject to bondage
Rom 8:2 for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
- Go To The Root Of The Matter
Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Never think that fear will pass with time, its not just a feeling, it is a demon that must be dealt with
If you do not get the root of fear, it will be harder for you to have victory
Fear is: F – False E – Evidence A - Appearing R - Real
- Saturate Your Mind With Thoughts of Faith and Confront It
2 Cor 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholdsWhen you discover the origin of your fear, you confront it by faithSee fear as an enemy that has already been defeated by the power of the blood Jesus
1 Jn 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
Thoughts of faith are always positive, they fill our hearts with courage and confidence to step out Saturating our minds means to mediate in God’s word day and night
The enemy throws fiery darts at our minds wrapped in human thoughts that are so clever we think its our own voice but many times in reality its the spirit of fear
The shield of faith has the ability to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one
The confession of faith is the sword of the spirit that also overcomes fear
Eph 6:16-17 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
- Fear is the Enemy of a Conquering Spirit (High Achievers)God promised the children of Israel the land and victory but fear robbed them from everything God had

Tormentors – Forever Free From Fear
- Fear Brings Bondage
Rom 8:15 you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father”
2 Tim 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
1 Jn 4:18 there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear,because fear brings torment.
Heb 2:14-15 through death Jesus destroyed him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear were all their lifetime subject to bondage
God needs our faith in order to manifest his promises in our lives Satan needs our fear to operate the curse in our lives
Wherever we walk in fear, we put ourselves in bondage to the things we are afraid of, and they can literally begin to control us, now were not being led by the spirit of God but by the spirit of fear
Rom 8:14 those led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Jn 10:10 the Devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus comes to give life, and life more abundantly.
Jn 8:35 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
- Cast all your Fear, Worry and Care on Jesus Today
2 Cor 11:28 besides these things, the cares that comes upon me daily
1 Pet 5:5 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
Cares – Concerns, distraction, anxieties, burdens and worries
Commit – To roll, roll down, roll away, remove, it pictures the camel burdened with a heavy load and unloading it by allowing it slide off
Ps 37:5 commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
Is 54:4 “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced,for you will not be put to shame; you will forget the shame of your past
Jn 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Ps 27:1 “The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?”

Tormentors – I Refuse to Worry
- Breaking The Worry Habit – The Power of Meditation
Matt 6:30-34 “30 why do you worry O you of little faith? 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things just focus on today.
Worry is essentially doubting God’s ability to handle the situation
Worry like all fear is an open door to the enemy to bring the curse
Worry does nothing to change or help your situations, in fact it works against you to harm you and produce negative results
Worry is negative meditation on the words of the devil
Is 26:3 you will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed (meditating) on You, Because he trusts in You.
Meditation – to ponder, consider, think about, to roll over in your head, to mutter and to speak softly to yourself
We choose to either worry or trust God by meditating on the problems other then the promises of God
Worry gets into our hearts by hearing satan’s reports
Rom 10:17 faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Josh 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
- Never Say, “I Can’t Stop Worrying”
Matt 6:31 “Therefore do not worry saying…”
Worry uses the creative ability of God in us backwards to harm us
Internal talk becomes heart belief & heart belief becomes confession
Matt 9:21 For she said (and kept on saying) to herself, “ when I touch His garment, I shall be made well.”
1 Sam 30:16 but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
Matt 12:37 For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
Prov 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
- Getting Rid of Worry Once and For All
2 Cor 11:28 besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches.
1 Pet 5:5 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Tormentors – Exposing The Truth About Fear
1 Jn 4:18 there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear brings torment.
- Cause and Effect - Nothing Just Happens
Deut 30:19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your children may live.
Prov 26:2 Curses will not harm or land on someone without a cause
Rom 8:2 for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
We must understand the laws that govern life and death
The law of life in Christ Jesus includes all God promised in His Word, the blessing, eternal life, faith, a born again spirit, peace, mercy, forgiveness, prosperity, the gifts of the Spirit, healing, deliverance, protection, the holy spirit, the fruits of the Spirit and so much more
The law of sin and death which governs satan’s Dark kingdom includes fear, the curse, sin, condemnation, shame, guilt, bondage, poverty, oppression and depression, addiction, sickness physical and mental, early death and ultimately separation from God in Hell
Jn 10:10 the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
- Faith Connects Us To Life and Fear Connects Us To Death
Heb 11:1,6 now faith is the substance of things hoped for, it is the evidence of things not seen. 6 Without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who truly want to find him.
For without faith it is impossible to please him or receive from Him
Heb 11:1 now fear is the substance of things hoped for, it is the evidence of things not seen.
Faith and fear are very powerful spiritual forces that produce either abundant life or death
Both God and the devil need our agreement to move consistently and effectively in our lives •Every fear you face opposes the faith and promises of God
Everything Satan says should never be internalized, everything he says is the exact opposite of the truth
The truth always brings freedom, fear always brings bondage
Job 3:25 everything I feared and dreaded has happened to me.
- Fear Not, Only Believe
Lk 8:50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well.”
God commands us over and over and over again to ‘fear not’
When Jesus wanted to reverse the results of death he had to get fear out in order for his faith to work effectively
Jesus understood the power of words to transmit faith or fear
Is 54:14,17 You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord

Psalm 3:3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head.
Acts 17:28 for IN HIM we live and move and have our being
Eph 1:7 IN HIM we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His graceAll that I will ever need is found IN HIM All strength, salvation, grace, mercy, forgiveness is found IN HIMI can always overcome and win because I am IN HIM
Heb 11:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith
Heb 4:15 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
- When We Walk in God’s Love, We Walk In His Strength
1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 Cor 13: 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love never fails.
Sin, sickness, poverty, and oppression feeds on unforgiveness
Blessing, health, prosperity, happy families are born from LOVE
Eph 3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love
Is 40:29-31 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Love Is….He Loves Me Too Much To Leave Me The Same
- Love Is – Never Forgetting Your First Love, Remember When He Found You
Matt 12:30-31 love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Rev 2:4-5 I have this against you, that you’ve left your first love. Remember from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works. #remember
- Accusations are From Satan to Keep Us Out of Our Father’s Presence
Rev 12:10 the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood
Heb 4:12-15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Satan hates for you to see the Glory of the Lord – to spend time in His presence until he changes us and sets us free from limitation and bondage
2 Cor 3:17-18 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
- God’s Reflection - He Loves Our Neighbors Too Much To Leave Us The Same
Is 6:1-6 The year King Uzziah died I saw the Lord! He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the Temple was filled with his glory. Hovering about him were mighty, six-winged angels of fire. With two of their wings they covered their faces, with two others they covered their feet, and with two they flew. In a great a chorus they sang, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is filled with his glory.” Such singing it was! It shook the Temple to its foundations, and suddenly the entire sanctuary was filled with smoke.Then I said, “My doom is sealed, for I am a foul-mouthed sinner, a member of a sinful, foul-mouthed race; and I have looked upon the King, the Lord of heaven’s armies.” (seen what God sees) Then one of the mighty angels flew over to the altar and with a pair of tongs picked out a burning coal. He touched my lips with it and said, “Now you are pronounced ‘not guilty’ because this coal has touched your lips. Your sins are all forgiven.” Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom shall I send as a messenger to my people? Who will go?” And I said, “Lord, I’ll go! Send me.”
When we encounter the Glory of the Lord our hearts and desires are changed and we take upon his heart’s desire for a lost and broken world
The only God they're going to see is the work of God in me.
Moses was changed, Isaiah was changed, David was changed, the disciples were changed, the 120 were changed, Paul was changed, I was changed
Ex 3:9-10 the cry of the people has come to Me, and I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, out of Bondage.”
Is 60:1-4 Arise, shine; your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Lost shall come to your light, and leaders to the brightness of your rising. “They all come to you; your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.

- Humility Brings the Glory - In the glory I received the call to start Freedom
Is 6:1-6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet..Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?”Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
EX 3:9-10 the cry of the people has come to Me, and I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, out of Bondage.”

Heart literally means chambered, God wants every chamber of our hearts “Your heart Lord, I will seek” is what we should say
Ps 27:8 “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.Our hearts should be to please God through our faith and love
Heb 11:5-6 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him” for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Gal 5:6 our faith is working through love right now.
- Loving Your Neighbor Means Forgiving Them – Keeping No Record of Wrong
1 Cor 13:4 (nlt) It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her
Eph 4:26-27,30-32 If you are angry, don’t sin by nursing your grudge. Don’t let the sun go down with you still angry, get over it quickly 27 for when you are angry, you give a mighty foothold to the devil. 30 Don’t cause the Holy Spirit sorrow by the way you live. 31 Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you
Perfect homes do not exist, only restored ones
Heb 12:15 be on guard lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled
- To Love Yourself Means To Forgive Yourself - Having a Clean Conscience
Matt 18:21 “Lord, how often shall I forgive my brother? Up to 490 times?”
Accusation and blame come from the same fountain – Satan
Rev 12:10 the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives
2 Tim 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience
2 Cor 7:2 receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
Phil 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead
Rom 8:1 there is therefore now no condemnation to them, which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Love is… Casting Out All Worry In My Life
- Conquering The Sin Of Worry Through Faith In Our Father’s Love
1 Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect (mature) love casts out all fear, for fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
Gal 5:6 our faith is working through love.
Fruits of fear – worry, cares, anxiety, depression, torment, stress
Faith says I trust you father and worry is meditating on satan’s lies
Matt 6:31-33 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Heb 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God
- The Power Of Prayer And Right Thinking When Dealing With Worry
2 Tim 1:7 God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
1 Pet 5:6-9 humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith,
Worry is a form of pride – it says I don’t trust you to take care of me When we spend time in the presence of God (love) burdens are lifted and wisdom comes and our confidence grows in our Gods ability to deliver us
Obedience to God’s will is crucial to overcoming worry
Once you’ve have obeyed the Lord’s instructions and casted out all that worry on the Lord don’t touch it again with your thought life
Phil 4:6-8 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
2 Cor 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
- When Faith Is Working With Love It Becomes An Unstoppable Force
Mk 11:23-25 I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. “And when you’re praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you of your sins.
Confess daily: I’m not anxious about anything, I am full of Godly confidence about everything and the love of God casts out all fear in my life
Confess daily: I’m not fearful of anything, I’m full of faith for everything
Confess daily: I’m not depressed about my life, I’m exited about my life

1 Jn 5:3-4 this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commands are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world our faith
- Love is To Save Souls and Make Disciples
Matt 28:18-19 “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing themThe nature of soul winning and disciple making is the nature of sacrificial love, It is to give of my life so someone else can live
Jn 3:16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Jn 13:34-35 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. 35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
Gal 6:7,9 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 9 So let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
- Love is Serving One Another - We love God by serving His Body
Gal 5:13-15 through love serve one another.
Matt 20:26-28 it shall not be with you; for whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life so many could live.”
Job 35:11 if they obey and serve Him, they shall spend there days in prosperity, and their years (2016) in pleasure.
- Love is Quick To Believe and Quick To Forgive #2016 #good2great
Matt 18:21 “Lord, how often shall I forgive my brother? Up to 490 times?”
Mk 11:23-25 I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. 25 “And when you’re praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you of your sins.Our faith will not work properly without love
Gal 5:6 our faith is working through love.
1 Cor 13:2-3 though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing and my faith profits me nothing. When Faith is working with love it becomes an unstoppable force
1 Cor 13:7-8 Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. 8 Love never fails [it never fades nor ends].
1 Pet 3:8-11 all of you should be of one mind. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. 9 Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing. 10 For “If you want to enjoy your life and see many happy and great days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. 11 Turn away from evil and seek for peace, and work to maintain it.

- The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree
Mark 11:12-26 Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.”And His disciples heard it. 20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. 25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

- Satan’s Strategies to Stop Our Faith
Heb 12:1 Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us. 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of God.
A. Yielding to the Flesh
Ps 31:10 Sin has drained my strengthSin will slow you down, rob your confidence, hinder your fellowship with God, open the doors to the demonic, and will rob our destiny
Js 1:21 lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to (restore) your souls.
Ps 23:3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousnessFor His name’s sake.B. Love and Forgiveness are Keys to the Faith Walk
Gal 5:6 Our Faith is working (right now) through love.
2 Cor 2:10 -11 We forgive so that Satan will not take advantage of us because we are not ignorant of his schemes!
Advantage - outwit, trick, to take advantage of by sneaky schemesIgnorant - in the dark, clueless, faulty conclusions, misguided
Eph 4:26-27 “Be angry, and do not sin” do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 nor give place (opportunity) to the devil.
Js 3:16 where strife is, there is confusion and every evil demonic work.
Matt 18:34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.

From Good To Great – 3 Qualities of a Great Breakout Leader
- They Promote Unity and Blessing By Making the Vision of Freedom Plain
Ps 133:1-3 Where there is unity there the Lord commands the blessing
Hab 2:2 “Write the vision and make it plain, that he may run who reads it.
Ex 3:7-10 the cry of the people has come to Me, 10 I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My children out of Egypt’s Bondage” into the promise landJesus Christ had and still does have a vision for His church - it’s to Bring Freedom to a broken people, to save precious souls and to make Disciples
Lk 4:18 He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
Matt 28:18-19 “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore (Save Souls) and make disciples of all the nations.
1 Pet 3:8-9 Finally, all of you have this same mind, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
Jn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
- They Conquer Life’s Giants By Faith – Faith always speaks what’s to come
Hab 2:3 the vision is for an appointed time; in the end it will speak, and not lie.
2 Cor 4:13 We have the same spirit of faith, as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak
The Spirit of Faith - Speaks what God speaks Our words spoken today are seeds that produce tomorrow’s harvest
Prov 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
1 Sam 17:45 Then David said back to the Giant, “You come to me with a sword, spear, and a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied
- They are Willing To Pay The Price For What They Believe

Heb 6:10-15 God’s not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.12 and do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Heb 10:35-39 therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of (patience) endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise
Js 5:11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the patience of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord
Job 42:10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

2016 Breakout From Good To Great – Obedience and Humility to Christ’s Vision
- He gives more Grace to the humble - Obedience & submission is all humility
James 4:6 “God resists the proud, but gives more grace to the humble...”
1 Samuel 15:16-19 Samuel said to Saul, “Be quiet! And I will tell you what the Lord said to me last night. 17 “When you were little in your own eyes, were you not Leader of Israel? 18 Now the Lord sent you on a mission 19 Why then did you not obey the Mission of the Lord? #savingsouls #makingdisciplesHumble, small in your own eyes – low to the ground, low estate, lowly in position and power, total absence of arrogance, conceit, and haughtiness.
Obey – Hearing, responding and obeying, to hear as a subordinate, listen attentively, answer and respond, submit without reservation.
1 Peter 5:4-6 Likewise, you younger men [of lesser rank and experience], be subject to your elders [seek their counsel]; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another [tie on the servant’s apron], for God is opposed to the proud and He defeats them, but He gives grace to the humble. 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time.
Matthew 23:11 the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 29:23 A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble will retain honor.
Deuteronomy 8:11-19 “Beware that you don’t forget the Lord your God by not obeying Him 12 lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; 13 and when all that you have is multiplied; 14 that your heart is lifted up with pride, and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out the house of bondage (never forget where you came from)

Jesus Christ gives us the strength to be happy. Pastor Jason Lozano teaches how Paul looked to Jesus for strength to be happy. In the same manner, we need to look to Jesus for strength and joy. When we look to the world for happiness, we will never truly receive the happiness we're hoping for.

The Bible says when we find wisdom, we will find happiness. Pastor Jason Lozano teaches that happiness comes from the inside-out and not from the outside-in. It's important to be satisfied now, to be satisfied in Jesus Christ, and to not look at the world or the things of the world for our happiness.

Proverbs 3:14 Happy is the man who finds wisdom
