Desire The Fire Podcast With Pastor Jerry

Are you a wise walker? Your walk influences the lives of others, so it is important to walk a balanced life in the wisdom of the Jesus Christ

How should the Christian live? Find out how Jesus walked, ask Him to help you to walk in love and light just as He did. When you do, others will see Jesus in you and want Him too.

As a born-again Christian, you have been blessed beyond all measure in Christ, therefore you should walk worthy of your calling.

A wise man will be discontent until he finds truth, Jesus Christ, and then he will fall down and worship only Him. When the wise man rises from worship, he then will be willing to give his all to Jesus Christ his Lord allowing his Savior to lead and guide his every step.

A wise man will keep Jesus as the center focus of his life without fear of what will happen in the presence of those who are offended or angered at His name. For Jesus will demand a change in the lives of those who are not in step with Him, but it is that name of Jesus that can also heal, change, and set the bound free.

A wise man sticks to the truth he has been taught long ago and puts it into practice today; for his own personal experience with the King will make him settle for nothing less than what is to be preeminent in His life – Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Before the Lord will bless you, He works a change in your life that prepares or transforms your character so that God can be the ruler of your life. Focus on Him and who He is, and you will find that in the presence of the Lord, you will be changed and be blessed.

God will confront you with who you truly are and the sins in your life that you are hanging onto. Christian, come clean with God, surrender to Him and you will be refreshed. He then will be able to give you the blessing that he has planned just for you.

Jesus will work in you, altering you, touching and changing you, so that you will not have any self-confidence. Instead, focus on Him and His grace, for He is the one that will get you through and in the end bless you. Hang-on, don’t give up, let Him continue His work in you.

Before the Lord can bless you, He may require a change in your heart. The Lord will move and work in you, isolating you from others in order to develop within you character that grows you to be more Christ-like. In that place you will learn to depend on Him.

You went into the wilderness in your own power, but as the Lord Jesus works on you there, He strips away the worthless things on which you have leaned, so that He can create an instrument for His purpose. You find that as you leave the wilderness you come out leaning on the Lord’s breast strengthened by the heartbeat of your Master.

Sometimes, the Lord leads you into the wilderness so that He can do a new thing in your life. He wants to bring a fresh encounter with Him, filling you with His Holy Spirit. Don’t question Him, but just begin to worship and He will give you a song in that time. As you come out of the wilderness your attitude is changed and you are filled with His power for you will find that He was there with you...

We as children of God should be “becoming” more and more like Jesus Christ. Our love for Him will show as we imitate Him with our lives.

The wilderness times of life are difficult, but in them, God has a plan. He is working on you, sanctifying you, by separating you from the world and speaking to you so that you will come out of the wilderness more like Him.

When Jesus is the One leading you, and you follow in obedience, then you are able to go through any experience or wilderness that He brings you to. He will give you a word from His Word that will strength and empower you to face the difficulties there. For He is there with you guiding and teaching you so that you can come out the other side more like Him.

When I see Jesus for who He is, then the impurities of my own heart are brought to light and I can see the divisions in my own heart. One glimpse of Him will give me a greater vision of who God is and He will change me to be more like Him.

We must decide to get alone with God, enter into the tower and spend time with Him. For in that place God will meet us, give us a word and fill us with joy that will be the strength we need no matter the circumstances we face.

Sometimes there is a disappointment to our faith. We must decide to back away from the problem and get into our Tower, Jesus Christ, and there in His presence He will speak to us. He then becomes the sustaining power that will give fullness of joy in the midst of the difficult situation. The Lord does this to develop us as He also delivers us.

Have you ever been disappointed that God has not answered your prayer? Have you ever wondered why the righteous suffer at the hands of the wicked? Or maybe you have questioned if God really cares for you? You are not alone, many have suffered from these same disappointments. Within the Bible we find the honest truth of the weakness of our own hearts. God wants you to be honest with Him. He will be...

When we compromise, we never influence others for Christ. In fact, our compromise will cost us and affect those we love. We must get back to living for Jesus, now. Make Him the treasure of your heart, and you will safely arrive where God has called you.

Christian, be sure that you are not leaning toward the world allowing it to draw you in and, in doing so, spiraling down into a compromised lifestyle. How you decide to live will influence those around you, leading them towards the Lord or possibly pushing them away from Him. Your influence is great! Don’t compromise, keep the Lord ever before you.

When we take the initiative for our own lives and don’t look to the Lord for His leading and guidance, we then will go in the wrong direction and our choices will negatively influence the lives of others. Let God take initiative for your life. Keep your focus on Him and you will never regret it.

The balance of Truth in the Christian’s focus is so important to the health of their spiritual life. Sometimes it is easy to get distracted and focused on just part of the truth. By opening the Word and allowing Holy Spirit to speak to us through all of the scripture, we will see our error and He will bring pois, balance, harmony, and stability to our Christian walk.

Sometimes, we try to escape the happenings in life because we have read and clung to only part of the truths of the Bible. We find ourselves depressed because what we expect is not what is happening around us. Both sides of the truth are important, for it is liberating and brings stability to the Christian’s life.

Truth is always balanced, but we as Christians must consciously work at keeping truth balanced in our lives. It is so easy to get our focus on one part of truth and ignore or not see all of the truth that is being given to us in the scriptures. We will then be out of line, out of unity or you could say off balanced. Christian, open the Bible, feed yourself on both sides of Truth and live a balance...
