No Hell-Fire, No Damnation, just Jesus and how your life can be changed and weights lifted from your life
Take the lesson of the blind man brought to Jesus. Jesus spit into his eyes and the blind man said he could only see "men as trees walking". He didn't accept only that, but stayed until Jesus touched him again and made him completely able to see.
Sometimes we do not receive all of what we ask for at once, but need to hold fast and let God complete the work in His time.
So many distractions. So much to do. So little time.
Don't let the time get away from you.
Always give God His time. He will see you have enough to finish your to do list.
There are times in life where we need to just take a pause and collect ourselves in order to hear the voice of God and know we are on the right path to reach our peace.
Never take for granted that God will answer your prayers for a miracle in the same way every time.
Sometimes He may want to see if you are listening to Him by asking you to do something first.
Moses took for granted that when the Children of Israel wanted water, he was to strike the rock. When God told him to speak to the rock, and Moses struck it instead, it cost him the reward of ever seeing the promised land.
Elijah repaired the altar that Baal's Prophets tore down and when he prayed, the Lord God sent fire from Heaven down and consumed offering, altar, water and all. Perhaps we need to rebuild our altar for God to send the Fire from Heaven to consume our problems and enemies.
Don't think yourself as worthless. What God sees in you is Jesus in your heart and to Him, You are Priceless.
Brother Jamie Badsen encourages us to never give up but to Keep Going to the Rock that is higher than we are and God will intervene in your battles
In order for revival to occur, there must be Spiritual Healing among those bringing it.
David desired that God make him like the Green Olive Tree. There is a reason David chose that particular tree to be like
What can we do so we will always be able to come to the House of The Lord and worship and praise Him?
Throughout history a name carried more than just what to call a child. It carried a description of the individuals character.
Brother Jamie Badsen shares how we should pursue the enemy when he attempts to steal our joy and happiness and take back ALL he has tried to steal
Many views of whether or not a loved one or other individual would go to Heaven if they lived in sin all of their lives, and at the 11th hour, asked God to forgive them and asked Jesus into their heart. Hear what the Word of God clearly reveals
Are you or someone you know, one of the "Some"
Find out in this message and consider the meaning.
If you find yourself becoming weary, Jesus is near. Do you know someone who is weary? Reach out and lift their hands. Take on their burden and give them rest
If I have a Bradford Pear tree, and you find it has something other than Bradford Pears on it...something is off...
Do you tell folks you have Jesus living in you and they see something else...??
Preachers and everyone and his brother/sister have a different scenario of what the end will be. Will it matter? If we aren't ready for it, then it is too late.
Let Praise to God be your War Cry!
He will fight the battle for you!
He will inhabit the Praise of His People!
We need to understand, and practice, why great men of God were so great!
If you are hanging off of a cliff, drowning in the water or in the house that is on fire....YOU WILL CRY OUT!
Show God you are serious and really, truly want Him to hear you and move those mountains for you.
Cry Out to God! Empty your Soul to Him and see what happens!
Brother Jamie brings us encouragement to help get us through the water, flood or fire keeping us from victory.
Don't be afraid to give a Shout to the Lord (you really won't scare Him away)!
Each time God's people gave a Shout, big things happened.
The next time you Shout, it could be your Victory Shout.
Do we expect God to jump when we snap our fingers (ask in prayer for something)?
We are like a toddler in the shopping buggy, wanting everything we see as it goes by.
A true sign of Christian maturity is how well we can wait on the Lord to fulfill our requests. It may not be what we need at that time, but part of a bigger plan we need to allow God to supply our request.
Do you have a "Bucket List"? That list of things you want to do before you "Kick the Bucket"?
What about your "Christian Bucket List"?
All through the Scripture, we find reference of the coming Messiah, Jesus, and when He came, He fulfilled the reference just as the prophets foretold.
Always consult God before you embark on a journey into the unknown. When He is with you, He will light your path and keep your foot from stumbling.
When God makes a promise, He will fulfill it. Don't let circumstances deter you from your victory. God will make a way and you will receive the promise.
Keep your Sword of the Spirit with you always. The Word of God is Quick and Powerful; sharper that a two edged sword.
The road is not always smooth, the hills are not always easy and the valleys are not always without obstacles. Don't give up. We are not home yet, but we are not far away.
The King of Kings could have had the world at his feet. Instead, He chose to lower himself to that of common man and endure the hardships of the world in order to save the world from their sins
If God be for you, who can be against you? Don't struggle with the principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places. Let God fight for you. Use the Name above all names to conquer the enemy in your battles.
Even though Peter failed Jesus miserably, Jesus wanted him to know that he was not dead, but alive. Between the failure and the empty tomb, was the cross. All that Peter had done to deny any association with Jesus was forgiven by the blood shed on the cross.
Living for Christ is not always smooth sailing. Jesus tells us "Ye are in the world but not of the world". Scripture tells us that "the preaching of the cross is foolishness to the world". The unbelievers look at us and wonder why we deny ourselves the pleasures of the world, and cannot comprehend what gifts God has bestowed upon us. The world seems to have everything going for them, but inside they are miserable and broken. The only comfort they receive is to compel us to join them in their condition so that theirs doesn't seem so terrible. "Misery loves company". Do not Break. When you begin to bend to the will of the world, you will weaken and continuing to do so, eventually break. Let Jesus be your strength and resist the temptation to bend under the weight of the world trying to weigh you down.
Born Into Darkness (all darkness is not of the devil)
When we can't see God, He can still see us
There is always a reason and purpose for the dark times we encounter
Psalms 91: 1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
The darkness is the Shadow of the Wings of God shielding you from some infirmity or attack from the enemy. Use that time to seek Him and Worship Him.
As a photograph requires darkness to develop and reveal the image, our Spirit man requires darkness to develop the Word, Power, Truth God wishes to be revealed in us!
Job 1:7 tells us "And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."
1 Peter 5:8 tells us "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
But... 2 Chronicles 16:9 tells us: "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him."
God has your back...
DON'T GIVE YOUR DARKNESS TO THE DEVIL!
Use it to Strengthen and Empower your Spirit!
Fight, Finish and Keep the Faith...three things that every child of God should hold fast to in order to clean your Bucket List for leaving this world.
When you just don't have enough, when God is with you, He will provide what you need.
Don't walk the path of life alone...make sure the Lord is at your side.

We may start with good intentions and sincere heart, however, how we complete our journey is the only thing that counts in the end.
If our mission is not blessed by God, it will never succeed. Likewise, if it is Blessed by God, it cannot be cursed.

Not For Sale
We are faced with many choices in life. Many times those choices are in reality, temptations.
Our response determines the direction our life will take.
How much of what are you willing to trade for Eternal Life?

God told Noah "it's time to go". They went into the Ark and God shut the door.
We do not see that Noah could see outside of the Arc until 150 days after the flood ceased.
When God sends a flood, shuts the door and you can't see what is going on when you are tossed about and it seems like eternity; never forget...God has you in the palm of his hand, in the shadow of his wings, in the cleft of his rock.
Just keep your focus on Him and He will bring you through!
When we enter into the Holiness and Presence of God, we do not have to leave the same way we came in.
We Enter into His Glory when He brings it to us. We do not have to search to find it.
When in His Glory, when in His Presence, if we do not change in our walk with him and become closer with Him, we basically Leave the way we Entered.
Seek all He has for you.
Use all He gives to you.
May you prosper even as your soul prospers.

What was the Promise?. Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they received "power from on high".
They were in Bethesda when Jesus told them this.
Had they stayed in Bethesda, they would not have received the the Promise.
If we stay in our "Bethesda", we will never receive the Promise of God..."Power from on High".
When God tells you to "GO", you better go...or miss what He has for you.
God made Light to dispel the darkness. The darkness is home to all sorts of evil and the light will drive it away.
God also works in the darkness. When Moses stretched his hand over the Red Sea, the Lord caused a strong wind to blow all night and in the light of the next day, the sea was opened and they crossed on dry land.
God will work in your darkest hour to bring deliverance to you. Keep your faith and trust he will finish that work for you.
God is very much alive and wants to talk with us more than we realize. Our surroundings often drown out His voice. Find out how to tune out the static and tune it to His voice.
The "Baggage" we carry when we read the Word of God can sometimes affect what we get from it.

What is Normal?
God created the Earth and gave man charge over it.
All was Normal for Adam and Eve.
Adam sinned against God and nothing has been "Normal" since.
Any condition we think is normal in our life is only temporary.
How badly do you want that blessing? A blessing reserved for someone else may be given to you, should you desire it more than the one whom it was intended. God may not wait on you to claim it.

Pastor Titus Mathis
We have been given gifts to use as God gives us the ability.
Whatever your gift, use it to the best of your ability.
However small your gift, if you are faithful in using that, God will make you able to use many gifts as he sees fit.
The fate of Israel was changed because the heathen king over them could not sleep. Hear how Esther saved her people from certain death and became a Queen.

Like Leprosy, sin causes horrible things to happen to our flesh. One small area of sin grows and becomes more sin. It can be contageous and affect those around us. It often can be seen by those we do not wish to see it. It can only be "cured" by the Great Physician, Jesus. When we cry out "Unclean", he can clense us and remove it when we give our heart and soul to him.

God Seeks a Man To Stand in the Gap
Brother Jamie Badsen shares why we should Rebuild the Altar and how to do that.
The world is beginning to crumble beneath our feet. The only thing keeping us from going down with it is the Solid Rock, The Firm Foundation, which is our faith and our God.
Assistant Pastor Jamie Badsen shares how we will be escorted into heaven by Angels, or "just buried" upon our exit from this world.

The Oil, in the Old Testament, was the Anointing of the Spirit of God. In the New Testament, it is the Infilling of the Spirit of God when we receive the Holy Ghost. If we do not use the gift of the Holy Spirit (the Oil), we will lose power the Spirit provides. Keep your Oil Level topped up. Brother Titus explains...
What was special about Jesus? Brother Titus traces the foretelling of the Messiah through the Bible. The details are written in many of the Old Testament books and all point to Jesus of Nazareth.
Deuteronomy 7:9 tells us "Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
How does one obtain Mercy? Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Matthew 9:27 "And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us." Jesus gave mercy to them by giving them their sight.
Perhaps what we should do in that which we are admonished in Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
Pastor Titus begins this message using the Disney movie Toy Story to illustrate his point. The toys belonging to Andy rejected Buzz Light-year, until they saw that he had the name "Andy" marked on him. That made all the difference. They knew then that he was one of them. Different, yes, but still he belonged to Andy. As children of God, we have His mark on us. Do we live like we are marked by God so others can identify us as His?
God doesn't give us gifts to make us feel good. We are to share those gifts with others. Someone needs something you have received from God and we need to use it to bless others.
Never cease to seek more from God. As we grow and mature in what He gives us, there is more waiting for us.
Why are we always talking about the "Blood"? There is a great deal to know about it. Brother Titus brings us the importance of what it is all about.
Worship, Praise and a word of testimony from Brother Jamie Badsen
Come be with us as we lift the name of Jesus Sundays at 10 AM and 5:30 PM and Wednesday at 7 PM
We must be careful not to let our old way of thinking that we know God's ways interfere with a new message from him that doesn't fit that thinking. New wine...old wine skins
Brother Kyle shares the Savor (smell) we give off when we interact with others. Do we smell like Christ, or something else?
We all deal with frustration from time to time. How we deal with it depends on our relationship with God. The closer we are to God, the less frustrating our ordeal will be. The closer we are to God, the more Grace we receive to give us the Spiritual fortitude to deal with the situation. Some people totally fall apart with the least bit of frustration but some people seem to not be bothered at all.
Learn how to use all the Grace God has for us.
If Jesus didn't bring change to your life, you need to do something about that. Many came to Jesus, but most went away unchanged. Jesus came and died for us to change us.
Communion, The Lord's Supper. What is it? Should we do it? Why should we do it? When should we do it?
These and more questions are answered in this episode of NCCA Living Waters Podcast.
Before your life changes, you need to spend alone time with God; no distractions, no hindrances. God wants your full attention before He brings change to your life.
Brother Kyle shares how we should Wake Up, Clean Up and Dress Up our Christian Life.
