Awake Church Podcast

50 days after Jesus died for our salvation and freedom, the risen Savior went to heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to live forever within His body. Pentecost was the day when the Spirit that the prophets, John the Baptist and Jesus said would come, came. It was the day that the church of Jesus received power. Power to be witnesses, power over sin, power to live like Jesus in the earth until He retur...

The same Spirit that hovered over the waters at creation has been sent to live inside of every follower of Jesus, giving us power to do the works of Jesus and be witnesses of Him in all of the earth. This Spirit is the great Helper sent from heaven, bringing truth, revealing Jesus and doing the impossible through us.

We have been given everything to live here on earth with God in a heavenly atmosphere in our mind, soul and body.

In this third week on the Churches of Revelation, Matt shares about the words of Jesus to the final three churches which were spread throughout modern day Turkey, and the application for the modern church today around the world. The heart and love of Jesus for His body is evident throughout as He communicates both His encouragement and His reproofs that will save their lives and give them great re...

In the personal message from Jesus to the Seven churches, Jesus communicates both His encouragement and helps adjust their errors and sin. Jesus takes the unprecedented time and share these words to those He loved and His words can be applied as both encouragement and correction for His body in every age, including ours. The concerns of Jesus for these churches certainly would be His concerns for...

The Revelation of Jesus and His words to the churches was given to the Apostle John at the end of his life. In this multi-part message, Matt shares the words of Jesus that He gave personally to John for the church of that age and this one. In these words are keys, encouragements and corrections that the church needed then, and needs today. There is a blessing for those who read, hear and heed thes...

After 1,400 years of celebrating the blood of lambs that saved the Jews from the death angel, the Lamb of God gave His life and His blood, when received and applied, saves every person from death. Three days later, His mutilated body that was lying in a garden tomb, came back to life. The breath of the Father filled the body of Jesus and brought Him back to life again, defeating death once and for...

There may be no other supernatural action we can make that is greater than forgiveness. Forgiving people doesn't just help others, it is the pathway for us to be free ourselves. Jesus paid for our freedom, for us to be entirely free, but without forgiveness we are bound and imprisoned. Torture accompanies unforgiveness, while hoy and wholeness surround those who let go. As those full of the Spirit...

The substance of God is love, and every believer's wholeness and fulfillment is found in living in the love of God and giving it away. Love endures through every age and is the most powerful weapon that we have. In this series, Matt begins sharing part of one of a three on the greatest of all and how we can live in love and love others.

Seeing clearly means that we need to receive the healing for our eyes that Jesus talked about, and we need to shed all other lenses. What we value most becomes the lenses we see things through. When Jesus and what He says and thinks become our highest value, we will see clearly.

There is a battle in the invisible world of thoughts and we must win it to have life. God has given us His words, His ways to think upon and the enemy has flooded the atmosphere and our feelings with thoughts of fear, doubt, accusation and worry. We get to choose what to listen to, what to think about and what to allow into our hearts.

From before humans were made, God had a plan to send His Son into the world to save the world and restore relationship with Himself. Jesus was the plan from before time and He humbled Himself as a seed to be implanted into the womb of a woman, to be born as an under-cover King and restore all that was lost back to it's original intention.

When we do, He takes the heaviness that we have and gives us what He has - rest, refreshing, joy, peace, hope, abundant life. As believers, we need to become consummate traders - those who daily trade with Je...
