"Seeing Beyond the Loss of All Things" -If you are a Christian but do not live for God so that you can indulge in the pleasures of sin, you won't know what you have lost. When we do not know what we have lost that we could have received from the Lord, Satan will use our ignorance to keep us beat down, discouraged, and defeated. So many people are living in defeat even though they claim to be people of faith. It is one thing to claim faith, but it is something completely different when our faith is practiced through obedience to the Lord. May the Lord allow Christians and the lost to hear this relevant message from Him.
"Times and Seasons" -Times and Seasons is a prophetic message to the body of Christ. If you are a Christian, are you able to discern the times that we're living? To understand the times and seasons that the Church goes through spiritually is to be able to choose the right path in each of them. If I can choose a term that would let you know what to expect from this message, it would be "empowering".
"Reformation Brings Restoration" -The message for this evening's service is prophetic. The Lord is revealing more of His divine plan for America and also exposing many of the lies that have held Americans as well as Christian Americans in a state of oppression. It's time for the Son of God to set the captives free in our nation and you can be a part of this great time of deliverance and spiritual reformation in America's history.
"Where is God?" -Have you looked around in recent years and asked, "Where is God?" Where is His mighty presence and power of God that used to fill the services of churches years ago? Where are the miracles, healings, signs and wonders that God poured out upon people and cities? Has God forsaken the Church and His people? Where are we headed as Christians and the Church, if God is not among us or leading us as His people? This is a prophetic word for the body of Christ and the nations of the world.
"God Knows the End From the Beginning" -If Christians truly understood the meaning of the title to this message, it would empower us to trust God as never before. If God knows the end of situations and trials before they occur, then He also knows how to direct our path through them and how to supply our needs that arise during them. Every believer in Christ needs the prophetic revelations that the Lord is going to make known in this word from Him.
"A New Reality" -Paul teaches us in 2 Corinthians that when we are born again, we are new creations in Christ. God has given us a new life through our faith in Jesus, but the Father also wants to give us a new reality in Christ. If we do not know what can be ours, we won't know what we are missing as Christians. We also won't know what the devil has robbed from us when we don't know what we are missing. The enemy was able to keep the unbelieving Jews that wandered in the wilderness from entering and experiencing all that lie ahead of them in the land of promise. There is so much more to this life than just living day-to-day. Prepare yourselves for a new reality to come your way.
"Restoring Accountability to the Church" -For the Lord's will to be fulfilled in and through the Church, the Lord will have to restore accountability within the Church. Parents who have raised a rebellious child understand how difficult it is to hold their child accountable when they choose not to be obedient. Pastors who have been called and anointed to hold believers accountable, who do not want to be accountable, know how hard it is to fulfill their duty to the Lord. Nevertheless, it's time for all believers and leaders in the body of Christ to stand up and hold ourselves and others accountable to the Lord and to perform His will in our lives when it comes to being responsible to the Lord.
"Faith to See Through the Lies" -As a Christian, Satan is after your faith in Jesus as your Savior. All Christians need to know this truth and take it to heart. When Christians take a stand for our faith and the truth of God, Satan will use tactics to distract us or intimidate us, if we allow it. The greater impact that you have for the kingdom God, the greater the persecution will be against you. We know this, but we don't always recognize persecution as such when we come under attack. It is imperative that Christians take the time to be in God's presence and Word so that He can strengthen us in our faith to always stand and not bow to the adversary.
"The Power of Obedient Faith" -Paul wrote in Galatians 5 that faith works through love. Faith alone is not enough to live victoriously in the world, we must add love to our faith. However, if Christians should try to live for the pleasures of this world and for Christ, they won't have the love to boost their faith to overcome. The time of living for self and attempting to live for the Lord are over if we truly want to live in victory and peace. Once believers learn that obedient faith is the key to living a victorious life in peace and plenty, they will become an unstoppable force in the earth. All Christians need this word from the Lord.
"Faith Gives Sight in the Darkness" -As a Christian, have you ever found yourself in a very dark and oppressive place in your life? There are two ways to respond to dark and foreboding situations when you don't know what to do. You can allow doubt, fear, and/or unbelief to fill your heart and open yourself up to Satan to sift your life or you can seek the Lord with your whole heart. As we choose to seek the Lord for deliverance and direction in the dark seasons of life, God will give us spiritual sight to see His way out of our trials through our faith and confidence in Him. If we respond in doubt, God won't be able to show us the way out of our dark trials.
"Faith to Understand the Unknown" -As humans, we can't really know someone except we first understand them. Likewise, we can't truly know God unless we understand His ways. When we do not know God's ways, this can and will open our hearts to doubt, fear, and unbelief, even as people of faith. In the evil days that are upon us, it is essential that we take the time to seek the Lord that He might enlighten the eyes of our understanding so that might truly know Him. Since God is Spirit and we are natural beings, we have to receive spiritual understanding before we can know God as we should. Why do we need to know God spiritually? How can we trust God unless we first get to know Him.
"Live For the Glory of God" -It is God who has called sinners out of spiritual darkness and translated us into His Kingdom of light. Therefore, we are to live our new lives in Christ for the glory of God and to please Him, not self. No man, no religion, can transform a sinner and make them righteous or holy, but God can. God sent Jesus into the world to demonstrate His authority through His Son and the Truth. He does this by saving and transforming sinners into children of the Most High. As Christians, we have the highest calling known to man. We are to live holy and devout lives that bring glory to God and welcomes sinners to faith in Jesus.
"Let There be Light" -Spiritual darkness is the result of man's rebellion against God. Sin darkened our spiritual hearts and reduced humans to only relying on carnal knowledge. Unfortunately, over time, carnal knowledge has forced us to become less than who God intended mankind to be. To rectify this problem, God teaches us in His Word to ask Him for wisdom and He will give it to us liberally. As wisdom fills our hearts, God will cause us to be promoted in His Kingdom, as well as in the world. Just look at Joseph and how God gave him wisdom to interpret dreams. Consequently, he was taken from the prison and placed on the throne next to Pharaoh. Someone needs this message from God.
"The New Kids on the Block" - Although the title may seem like a new term, it's not. Back in the day, when a family with several children would move into a new neighborhood, their children were considered the new kids. Whether Christians realize it or not, God is performing a new thing in the world today. Whenever the Lord does something new, it will generally challenge those who are established in the faith as well as the status quo. Because 'new' can also mean different, those who are accustomed to the familiar faces and the old ways of serving God, they may tend to reject God's move and those to whom He is reaching out to. We must guard our hearts in this 'season of transition' from the old to the new lest we find ourselves kicking against the Lord.
"Make Your Calling and Election Sure" -There are false teachers and false prophets in today's society that have one mission in life. They want to deceive and draw gullible Christians away from their faith in Jesus. When Christians do not hunger for God and His truth as they should, it will open them up to deception. Unfortunately, we are witnessing the fallout from lukewarm Christianity in the world today. Have you seen an increase like there is today in people who claim to know God and His Word, but they are really wolves in sheep's clothing? The rise of false proclaimers are the result of the vacuum of the absence of truth in believers' hearts. Like the serpent who deceived Eve, they are out to deceive the minds of our youth.
"Is Jesus the Christ?" -There are far more truths that God has given which reveal and confirm that Jesus is the Christ, other than He was born of a virgin and He died for the lost. Even though Jesus' life was cut short, did His enemies silence His voice or stop His work in the earth? We are living in a prophetic season that is pivotal for the Church. Therefore, we need to know as the children of God what is happening in the Kingdom of God and the world around us and how we ought to respond to the attacks of the devil.
"God Already Knows Your Needs" -It's reassuring to know that God already knows our needs, even before we go to Him in prayer. However, if we do not trust God so that our faith can please Him, we won't have the confidence that He will move every time that a need arises. When the Lord allows our faith to be tried, we must train ourselves to look to Him first. God already knows how He will work things out for us, but we don't. As we trust in Him and seek Him first, our faith will release the Lord to move each and every time on our behalf.
"Experience Supersedes Knowledge" -There is a place that believers in Christ can go that will empower us with great wisdom and authority to set us free from the limitations. Whenever Christians walk in love and in the Spirit, we allow God to empower us to overcome everything and every one that holds us back. When Adam chose knowledge about God instead of experiencing God, his sin placed all humans in bondage. Jesus came as the Last Adam to break the chains of bondage and limitations off of His followers so that we are able to flow in the supernatural power of God. ALL CHRISTIANS NEED THIS WORD FROM GOD.
"It is Beginning to Rain" -Throughout our lives, we have heard that Jesus is coming back to earth and we need to be ready for that day. It seems like, the more we hear this warning, the easier it is to tune it out to where we no longer hear it. Just because people may have turned a deaf ear to God's warnings, it doesn't nullify the truth that Jesus' return is drawing near. The reason that the Lord warns us of things before they happen isn't so we can "live it up" until time runs out on us. God warns us so that we can fully utilize the remaining time we have on earth to be prepared when it happens. Are you preparing or are you procrastinating?
"Could a Promotion be in Your Future?" -The Bible declares, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." It's highly possible to be a Christian and to love the Lord but live beneath God's best for you. For this reason, it is essential that we daily seek the Lord that He might bring His Word alive to us. When the Word of God becomes alive to us spiritually, we will be empowered to mature in our faith in Christ. Consequently, we will be able to walk in a greater dimension of God's favor, power, and blessings. Every Christian that is serious about their faith and identity in Christ needs this word from the Lord.
