Holy Spirit, the Giver of Gifts
The Holy Spirit Gives Gifts as He wills
We are to desire the gifts of the Spirit, especially that we may prophesy.
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The gifts of the Spirit were not to confirm the scriptures as canon but it expressly says the gifts were given by the Holy Spirit to build up the Body of Christ, the Church
Trusting God In The Shaking, A Conflict Of Powers: Exodus 8 & Genesis 26
We are in a battle against Spiritual Wickedness using worldly powers: Government, Financial Systems, Politics, Communications, Religion. God is judging the world’s systems but has set apart a place of refuge for the people of God.
Submission, Authority, and Power
Authority and power come through submission to higher authorities, whether spiritual or natural.
Jesus submitted to John at Baptism. Why did he need to do so to “fulfill all righteousness”?
How are we to honor one another? What do biblical humility and submission look like?

What is Faith?

The Greek word for faith also means to trust. Trust is a word that better conveys the meaning of faith, as trust is a word of relationship to another. Faith can be an abstract word as if it is some kind of power or ability unrelated to the God the Father, but possessed by one’s own will and strength.
Jesus had an unbroken trust in His Father. He never doubted. Out of his perfect trust in the Father, his righteousness was revealed.
Thy Kingdom Come – on Earth!
In Greek, the word for ekklesia, or assembly. It was used to describe the government of a city or state. The church is the governing body of Christ on the earth.
The Gates of Hell will not be able to withstand the increase and aggressive advance of the Church, which God is using to establish the Dominion of God on the Earth. Aided by supernatural power, the people of God will be empowered to bring evidence of God’s reality, beauty, and love to the world. The church has been praying for the kingdom of God to COME on the Earth for over 2,000 years. What will that look like?
The War Within
The War Within
“But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.” (James 3:14, ESV)
The hardest struggle we have in this life is not with others, but within ourself.
Law, Grace, and Holiness
Law, Grace, and Holiness are not incompatible. God calls us to holiness, not by our ability to live by the law, but by grace that sets us free from slavery to sin.
