As Jesus forgave you, you must forgive yourself. Give Him your shame, doubts, and worries, and don't pick them back up again.
Even when you might feel unworthy of Jesus' presence, He can still touch your heart and move in your life.
Do you ever feel confused or in need of direction? You can trust in the Wisdom of Jesus.
Who is the Flightless Generation? And why should we care? In this message, Pastor X confronts the dangers of this woke and politically correctness generation. We should be kind with love, while also having the boldness to stand for righteousness.
We have authority in Jesus Christ to trample over serpents and demons. We have victory in Jesus Christ and are washed by His blood.
Have you ever wondered how two children of the same family can become poor and the other rich? It's straightforward; it's the mindset of their perception. In this message, Pastor X will explain how living in the new covenant does not mean we can not benefit from old promises. The tithe is not what you think.
Thoughts are powerful if you choose to act upon them. In this message, Premeditate for a Miracle, we will learn how one of society's outcasts overcame her fear and premeditated her miracle.
What makes a person stand out from a crowd? What makes a Christian stand out from other Christians? It's very noticeable. It's the FIRE of the Holy Spirit. In this message, Pastor X will share the importance of fire and how the Holy Spirit will use His fire to fulfill your purpose on Earth.
What if I tell you, you will win the battle you are about to enter? Will that change your attitude before the fight? In this message, you will understand the power of being called by God. You will face Goliath without fear or doubt because you are anointed to win.
From the greatest parable ever told, the Prodigal Son. In this message Pastor X walks you through why we have everything we need in the Father's House.
Walking in obedience may not be as transparent as we hope. Our calling does not come with a manual, so we must depend on the still small voice of the Holy Spirit. Making minor adjustments to our walk will help us navigate to accomplish our purpose on earth.
Have you ever felt like you are about to burn out? Many have, especially those who love serving the Lord. There needs to be a balance between life and serving. In this message, Pastor X will walk you through the Prophet Elijah, who burned out at his ministry's peak.
The Power Gifts are those in the letter of Corinthians that manifest the supernatural power of God on Earth. These gifts are the gift of Faith, gifts of healing, and the working of miracles. In the message, I’ll be teaching why the Holy Spirit still uses these gifts for today. More than any time in history we must glorify Jesus with demonstration. The world has been fogged with plain self-righteous religion that has condemned instead of freeing people by the grace and power of God.
On the writing of this letter, Russia has entered Ukraine. The Body of Christ has begun to pray for the people of Ukraine. We are believing for God’s grace and power to intervene for His people. Yet, for many Christians the waves of the world will begin to create storms in their mind, causing distraction and lose hope. We cannot dictate what happens in the world, only in our world. Understanding that even though we feel the motions of the water, our boat is still Kingdom owned. We are going to be alright as long Jesus is in our boat.
Have you ever thought of ways God will use you when necessary? Many times, God only uses ordained ministers, preachers, and those with special gifts. Yet the Holy Spirit only needs a willing vessel. Don’t get me wrong, God has chosen specific people for specific tasks, but He is also counting on you. In the letter to Corinthians, Paul describes nine gifts of the Holy Spirit that are used for the “profit of all”. The problem is that many still do not understand these gifts. In these messages, I will share highlights on what they are, what they are not, and how to use them for the profit of all.
We live in a constant change in generations. Our cultures change, but not the fundamentals. What if we are keeping our children in an era that does not solve the challenges of old. Saul tried this with David by giving him his armor. Saul's armor was never going to defeat Goliath, only David's sling was.
What does it mean to leave a legacy of faith? It means that your relationship with God and others will last longer than your life. It means to raise a standard that your children and your grandchildren can look up to in their lives. But it does not mean we have to do it alone. God has provided a way to leave a legacy of faith to the next generation after we are gone from Earth. It a called a Memorial Stone. Why? Because memorial stones will continue to tell the story behind His glory.
Becoming a Witness for Jesus might not be as easy as it sounds. Especially if you have a listening problem. I know I did, so I needed the Holy Spirit to help me be more like Him and less of me. In this message, I'll teach you the fundamentals of listening with a purpose and while not becoming someone's throw-up bucket.
Debt is common in our generation. There is school debt, mortgage debt, auto debt and the most uncontrolled is credit card debt. We know about debt. But have you ever heard of anyone having a $3 billion dollar debt forgiven and removed completely all due to compassion? That is how our forgiveness of sins is compared in one of Jesus’ parables. Yet, when a fellow Christian sins against us, we are not willing to forgive them.
Miracle Behind the Door is a powerful story of a widow and Prophet Elisha. When she is faced with a financial need, she needs to have faith on something she deems unworthy... a jar of oil.
What is a Dream Team? Who are the members of this Team and why is it important for you to participate! For all members are part of one Spirit and one body of many members... that's what the Bible says! So let me explain the power of this Dream Team!
In the bible we read about a man called Simon of Cyrene, who was summoned by a Roman soldier to carry Jesus’ cross. In this story, I have often wondered what was going on in Simon’s mind. The embarrassment, the discomfort and even the shame of the cross. Simon did not volunteer; he was just a bystander watching with the rest of the crowd. Yet, Simon did not know that the weight of the cross he was carrying will provide forgiveness for all his sins, children’s sins and children’s children sins for eternity. He did not know he was carrying the cross that will break every work of the devil in his life and the lives of all future generations. He did not know he was carrying the weight of healing and miracles on his shoulders. Sometimes we do not know the weight of the cross until we need it.

There are three types of lions living in our minds. One you can slay with the power of God, another you can tame with the love of God and the other you must replace with a sound mind.
In honor of my dear friend, Ron Baldwin, I share the reward of Heaven to a believer. In this message I will also share key ways to help someone who has lost a love one and how you can be an asset to their lives during this dark time.
We are God's vessels in His hands. If we have a leak, He has a leak. If we can only hold 8oz, He can only pour 8oz. Allow me to share how can we remove the limits!
Legalism is one of the most dangerous application of doctrine in the church today. The idea shows how Jesus’ sacrifice was not enough to save you, so you must wear certain clothes, not wear make-up and follow all these religious mandates so we can be “holy” and “acceptable” to Him. I was born-again in one of these legalistic churches. Not knowing the truth of grace, it damaged my relationship with Jesus in the first few years of Christianity. In this message, I’m going to share how the Lord delivered me and exposed this lie from the devil.
There are many times we feel stuck during a prayer. How do you pray in uncertain situations. In this message, I try to share one of my deepest prayer of uncertainty that delivered Mercy and I from a dark moment.
As the Captain of your ship, you are responsible to make sure it arrives to it's destination. That means, sometimes you need to cast out the Jonah instead of the cargo. Let me explain...
Not everyone understands the devil's next move. Unless you have study his deceptions from his past victims. Know how through the Bible you can be one step ahead.
In a world where excuses are looked as justification, we face the ugly truth of our our lives. In this message you will be engouraged and challanged to desire the purpose of God in your life.
Everyone of us starts with a fresh vision for the future. There's excitement on a journey towards a new goal. But what happens when you feel the fatigue of becoming burnout. In this message you will know how one of the greatest prophets in the Bible felt at his lowest point in his life.
Everyone talks about Good Friday and Easter Sunday... which we should. But what about the rapture or second coming of Jesus?
Naaman's seven whys inside the Jordan river will help us see how to keep our eyes on the big picture.
Many of us fail for not living the moment and sometimes regret later. In this message, learn how to live the moment without regretting later.
Society, your boss, your friends and even some family members will cast lots that won't favor you. But you must make a choice, allow men to create your destiny or like Justus, live the purpose that your Creator gave you since the beginning!
This message will make the parable of the sower come alive! Everyone is a sower that will confront everyday people who will identify with one of the 4 soils in this story. The question is simply... Are you the sower in the story or the one of the four soils?
Everyone has the choice where and how to build our future. But there is only two options, rock or sand. Which one will you choose?
How to keep your old man at the cross? By having the likeness of Christ to know how to use the domain given by God.
If faith can't see it, it will not take you there. That's why you need Hope as a target, a fuel for your faith.
No one wants to experience a lost battle, yet many of us do. In this message Evangelist X will share one of his hardest losses with Goliath and how he was able to overcome with the grace of God and the love of His people.
There are many voices in our minds. Some are good and many are bad. In this message Evangelist X will expose how to identify the voice of Goliath that brings fear and sin. Stand with the Lord of Host and know you have a Champion on your side called JESUS!
Being broken is not a new concept in a Christian. Sometimes we look back of our stupid decisions to sin and tell ourselves why we did what we did. Yet the devil and his demons will use that sin to pin you. Evangelist X will teach you how to get up after you sin and not let the devil pin you on the floor. Listen to how God truly sees you.
Sometimes we see the Passover as some type of Old Testament miracle. It is, but it was also an experience that new testament believers would experience with Jesus Christ. In this message, Evangelist Xavier will teach you how you can receive the grace and favor in the new passover with Jesus.
| For the past three months, I have been sharing messages on the hand of God in the life of Joshua, Samson and now Jesus. These three bible stories and lifestyles are different. They end different but have one thing in common. The hand of God. |
But why Jesus? We should expect the hand of God on Jesus, especially if you read the bible. But what about Jesus himself? Don't you think He also had to believe He was the son of God growing up. The bible says He was also the son of men, making Him 100% human even though He was 100% God. Sometimes we read the bible like a fictional book, but let's step into the sandals of Jesus in this beautiful message about God's Hand on Jesus
One of the most rebellious characters in the Bible, yet you can see God's hand on his life. What if I tell you that your teenager has hope because of Samson.
Genesis 37:3 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also, he made him a tunic of many colors.
In this amazing story of Joseph, I will expose the hand of God even when God is in control. Many believe that everything that happens is because of God...even the wrong and evil acts of others. In this story I'll will teach you how circumstances that is not God's will, will eventually lead you to His masterplan. Sometimes we question events in our lives because we know God is a just and righteous God. So why as children of God can we experience unjust actions in our lives and it confuses many believers on their stand with God. But if you follow the life of Joseph, you will be encouraged while you are experiencing hardship in your life because God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
1 Corinthians 12:28
28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.
No church in America, or even around the world, can make it without the help and support ministry. Many people want the spotlight without sacrifice... Many people want the glory without the story of how they got there.
In our crusades, I'm the last one to go up. Before I arrive, the pastors and leaders must gather volunteers to go out and invite people to come. If the builders don't build the stage correctly, the worship team might get hurt. If the sound team doesn't set-up the system right, the gospel will not be heard, and people won't get saved...And if our partners didn't give, then the money won't be available for the crusades. Even our smaller partners who consistently give $20 a month are important. In our ministry, it's the Help and Support Ministry that keeps us going.
Genesis 9:13-17
13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." 17 So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth."
Why would these verses go with this title? Because the rainbow does not represent the generations of the LGBT movement, instead, it represents God's covenant to all generations. If you believe this in your heart and confess it with your mouth, you just became a Modern Martyr.
3 John 2
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
Many Christians have the faith to prosper but don't prosper. But why? It is not because God is holding back His promises or blessings. Then why? The reason I believe God is not prospering many believers is because their soul is not prospering... Let me explain.
Matthew asked me for a Mustang for his 10th birthday. I said no. Not because I don't love him or because he does not deserve it, it's simply because the blessing will kill him. I told Matthew that I will bless him with a Mustang when he graduates high school. Why? Because he would have taken Driver's Education, learned about the laws of the land, gained knowledge about safety, etc.
Now when his soul (mind, emotions, and will) has prospered by education and experience, he can handle a blessing like a 5.0 V8 Ford Mustang. If I will not give my son a "blessing" that will hurt him and others, then why do we expect God to do it.
Luke 15:20-24
20 "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.
You need to know that God is not mad at you. That He loves you so much and there is always time to come back if you have walked away from Him. Feel His love today by just coming back to His arms of grace.
Many of us can identify with one or more of the 12 Disciples' faith. Like the aggressive bold faith of Peter (taking risks), the tender loving faith of John (grace and compassion), the simple faith of Andrew (knowing he can't but God can), and even the patience faith of Mary Magdalene (waiting until it happens). But what if you identify with another Disciple's faith? A see to believe type of faith... like the faith of Thomas.
No one likes to admit they have the faith of Thomas. Especially after he was scarred by history as "Doubting Thomas".
I have met many people who struggle with their faith. They don't want to talk about it, nor share it with other believers because they are embarrassed. Yet they carry a burden of unbelief and do not know how to be set free.
Everyone is identified by how they dress, speak or act. Yet many times it's our own decisions that make us who we are. In this message, you will learn how to exchange your identity with the identity that Jesus wants you to have. The purpose of why you were created can only come by true surrender. What identity do you carry on your life? Let's find out together!
1 Samuel 16: 22-23 22
Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight." 23 And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.
More and more, I'm witnessing a Saul generation rise in America. It's a generation that uses worship to ease their pain and temporarily forget their troubles. They have learned to enjoyed the presence of God, but have not mastered to submit to His Word. You cannot place a band-aid on cancer, you must take it out from its roots! Jesus gave His disciples, including us, the power in HIS name. Yet many only sing about HIS authority instead of using it against the demons who distress them. We must remember that there is power to us in His name, and we do not have to live a life of failure or be bullied by demons.
6 And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error, and he died there by the ark of God.
***In this story you will find that these MEN were chosen, hand-picked, not volunteers. Meaning they were predestined to carry out the assignment to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.
It might seem unfair because Uzzah left his post for what seems to be a good intention. But Uzzah knew about the Law of Numbers, which states that no one can touch the ark of the covenant.**
*Remember, God will never purposely put you in a position to hurt you. Uzzah got distracted on the path of his assignment.
Philippians 2:25-30, speaks of how Apostle Paul sees a man of God and his commitment to the Gospel.
Epaphroditus was a true example of Kingdom culture servanthood. Most people have never heard his name or talked about him. He never became famous like the heavyweights of the bible, Abraham, Moses, Elijah or Peter. Instead, this is the only time in all 66 books of the bible he is mentioned. Yet look how the greatest apostle who ever lived describes him in verse 25. Verse 30 tells us there is a price, not only for the 5 fold ministries but everyone who loves Jesus.
Luke 22:27
27 For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves.
