Jen Metzger takes us through a life check of taking captive the thoughts that are contrary to the thoughts of the Lord and learning to express words that give life.  

Brian Higbee’s friend, Bill Vanderbush, just wrote a must read book called The Fire Of God Is Not Optional.  In it, Bill explores the absolute necessity the Fire of God has in being the covenant people of God.  Brian talks about the role of the fire of God in the old covenant people and in the new and how we recover this essential component to our function in the kingdom of God. 

We are the covenant people of God; at least that is what each of us under the Lordship of Jesus signed up for.  But like old testament Israel, have a name and having a life are vastly different.  God chose Israel but Israel did not choose God.  They chose religion.  They chose the celebrations.  They chose to be a people.  But they did not choose to be the people of God.  Why?  What was missing? ...

When it seems like all the life is gone from what is important to you, your marriage, your kids, your job, your church do you just talk about how it has not life?  Does your talk reflect what is going on?  If so, you have lost the greatest ability of the modern day believer.  What if you rose above and the nasty speak and found out what God is saying?  Brian Higbee talks about the example that God...

It is the intent of the Lord that we have authority and become powerful people of God: walking on water, raising the dead, rescuing the lost from damnation, healing disease, and broken limbs, commanding storms, living life in obedience.  All of this and much more is in store for us.   John 14:12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater wo...

This is a crucial time for the earth.  The times and seasons are about to change.  For those who are conformed to His image, who have chosen for the Lord to shape them, form them, position them, the time of blessing is arriving.  For those who refuse to be conformed to His image, the kingdom, as it falls to the earth like a warm blanket, will crush those not conformed and out of position.  Brian H...

What is the difference between independence and freedom?  What are we, as believers to embrace?  Is independence always a good thing?  Check out this message from Brian Higbee on the heels of celebrating Independence Day.  

Who is Jesus?  Really.  Who is He?  Who is He to us?   Paul, an apostle of Jesus, wrote to the church at Colossae the immutable truths about Jesus.  Why?  Jack Taylor once said, “A spoken word is like a whisp of smoke.  A written word is as if etched in stone.”  Paul wrote it so it would be in stone for the early church and for us.  Brian Higbee takes an excerpt from this letter to the church in C...

Pastor Bobby Richard brings his Cajun flavored, spicy message from the throne room of heaven.   Check it out.  

Did you ever resonate with what another is saying?  What is that?  Actually it means that you are "tuned" to the same interest.  When they speak, the inside of you resonates or gets excited about what they are saying.  The same is true of heaven.  When we are interested in what heaven has to say, we resonate or get excited.  But what when we are not in tune with heaven?  What happens then?  Brian...

Cain was so close to getting it right.  God showed him what to do and even warned him of what was preventing him from doing the right thing.  And still Cain listened to something other that God.  We do that often.  How can we get it right?  It is closer than you think.  Brian Higbee talks about being close to God yet not knowing it and the slight adjustment we must make to never fall prey to anoth...

One tree...just one.  All of the trees of the garden could be eaten from, especially the tree of life.  Yet Eve took of that forbidden tree.  What is it?  Why is it so damaging?  Brian Higbee explores that tree that he calls the Tree of My Own Understanding.  Check it out.  

Jackie Shopes has been in pursuit of the kingdom of God and who she is in the kingdom since she was a little girl.  Now a wife, a mother, a woman with a career has not swayed her from her pursuit.  Listen in as Jackie talks about what she does to stay in pursuit.   

Testimonies are powerful.  They are an opportunity to share when God shows up.  And on this Mother's Day, we turn loose our mom's to tell about just that.  Check it out.  

Jesus ascended to the Father with the command for His disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait for Holy Spirit.  They did.  But it took ten days from the time they arrived in that upper room until Holy Spirit came.  Why?  What happened in those ten days.  Brian Higbee explores those ten days and finds a significant truth for what lies ahead for the body of Christ.  Check it out.  

Have you ever not been invited to an event that you really wanted to be part of?  On the day of Pentecost three thousand became part of the early church.  Why?  Because they were invited.  Brian Higbee talks about a shift in the culture of the church that will bring many into the kingdom simply because they were invited.  

This combined event change the history of the world and has changed the lives of mankind.  Both are crucial.  One without the other negates both.  Brian Higbee talks about the effect of the crucifixion and resurrection and how it has changed the life experience of men.  

How do you see yourself?  Do you know that the way you see yourself is a reflection of what voice you are listening?  When Israel approached the Jordan the first time, they were divided into two groups.  The first group were the giant killers; Joshua and Caleb.  The second group saw themselves as grasshoppers.  Which one are you?  Do you want to live in the desert of deliverance or the land of pro...

Why a prophetic people?  Why prophesy?  Is prophecy for the church?  Paul longed for all to speak in tongues…but even more to prophesy.   Is prophesy limited to only prophets?  To those who have that gift?  It would seem the Apostle Paul concludes in 1Corinthians, “brethren desire earnestly to prophesy.” Why?  Why Is prophecy so crucial?  Could it be that we suffer far more at the hands of those w...

Why did Joseph command his sons to carry his bones back to their homeland?  What was the result of his bones remaining in Egypt until the exodus?  Is there power in bones?  Brian Higbee takes us through a line of thinking about dead men’s bones and what the Word has to say about them.  Check it out.
