The world’s systems can fall apart in a matter of days. Things we depend on can crumble overnight. Then what? What do you do if you lose everything? Answer: Remember the Lord and forget not his benefits. God sees ahead and makes provision, and our job is to stay receptive to him, so we’ll follow his leading into provision.

When I think of God, I think of a loving, powerful, forgiving father, I am aware that He is good and only good! I love what Clint says, "God created a whole planet for two people."

Grace is not just unmerited favor, it’s strength in your inner man. It’s divine life and power from his heart to yours. His love is the vehicle for his grace. If you don’t know how to live in his love for you, you will have trouble accessing his grace that is always available. Ponder God’s extravagant love for you today.

You Can Know God's Ways - Clint Byars by Forward Church Sermons

In this message discover the keys to King David's life that equipped him to overcome in one of the most challenging oppositions of his life.

Did you know you can hear from God anytime you want? God is never silent! We may be more focused on the physical world’s circumstances and ignore His voice, but he is without a doubt speaking. If you can’t hear him in your heart in prayer, you can go to his written word and listen to Him. Whether He said it 3000 years ago or 3 seconds ago, His logos can give you life. In this message, I walk you t...

With freedom from sin comes personal responsibility. Believers have the personal ability to respond to God’s grace rather than continue to live in sin. Response ability. Under the New Covenant, we are free from sin. We are free from sin in that God is no longer holding our sins against us. Paul explains in Romans 6 that freedom from sin doesn’t give one an excuse to continue in sin; it’s just the...

Can I pray for you? Join me in a meditative prayer through Psalm 91. There is a lot of uncertainty in our communities right now. Many of you are not sure how any shut-downs will affect your life and your family's lives. No matter what happens, God's Word is a firm foundation we can stand on. Let us help you root your heart in God's Word and find strength in this time of unrest and uncertainty. Rea...

You will not work out your own life’s equations and end up with correct solutions if you try to figure them out with natural logic. If God’s solutions seem illogical to you, you know you are thinking carnally or naturally. If God’s solutions or promises seem plausible to you, you are thinking spiritually. Keep on thinking that way. In other words, stay in faith. https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/202...

If you're in trouble or under pressure, you can look at what God has said until it becomes alive in you now. You'll know the word is alive in you when it becomes believable. When it's believable, all things are possible. When God's word is alive in you, you begin to see his options and hear his leading. The word of God can lie dormant in your intellect, but it's up to you to open your heart in suc...

God is not the author of your suffering. It's not in his script for your life. Tribulation and suffering are in the world, but they're not from God. If you should find yourself suffering religious persecution, God promises that He will comfort you.

Times are uncertain right now. Most people expect the world to get back to normal after the Covid-19 breakout but there may be some difficult days for many people until then. As of this recording, we are still being encouraged to distance socially but that will end at some point. The government will do what they can but people will have deeper questions. As a follower of Jesus, prepare yourself to...

It’s legal for you to expect everything that is consistent with the nature and character of God. For instance, God is a healer, provider, comforter, counselor and father; it is legal for you to expect to experience God in all of those capacities. When you believe you have received everything, it will be yours. https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/2020/3/16/believe-you-have-received

Prayer is not magic; it just shifts your inner man back to dependence on God. Prayer is a mind-renewal process. Pray until God’s promises are believable, then don’t back down and don’t lose heart.

Prayer is a time to turn your attention to God’s transformative and powerful spirit within you and yield to the shaping of his hands in your inner man. You can not take enough baths or wash your clothes enough times to get God’s spirit inside you, only the blood of Jesus can wash you clean enough to be acceptable to interact with God.

The teaching of Spirit, Soul, and Body forever changed the trajectory of my entire life. Struggling with substance abuse and at an all time low in my life as a young man I encountered the love of God in such a powerful way that I experienced instantaneous deliverance through the revelation of my identity of Christ. This teaching has the potential to be the bridge in your life to help you experienc...

Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy or boast. It is not proud, rude, or self-seeking. It is not easily angry and keeps no record of past mistakes. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

To Jesus, judgment is when you “look at the speck of sawdust in another person’s eye.” He says STOP IT! Don’t do that! When you look at the speck you no longer see that person, you only see the speck. The speck is whatever issue or behavior you are judging about that person. His remedy is to remove the plank in your own eye so you can see clearly to help them remove the speck from their eye. The p...

Most people just want to get their point across. We often ignore the other person but pretend we're listening. We selectively hear what we want to respond to but often miss their meaning. Most people listen with the intent to reply, not to understand. We prepare in our minds what we're going to say while they’re still speaking. WE FILTER EVERYTHING THROUGH OURSELVES. Consequently, we decide premat...

Assignments from God are completed FROM identity, not FOR identity. Once you know that you are already a child in his kingdom (by grace through faith), he equips you as an ambassador to complete assignments.

Assignments from God are completed FROM identity, not FOR identity. Once you know that you are already a child in his kingdom (by grace through faith), he equips you as an ambassador to complete assignments for him. https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/2020/1/21/difference-between-dreams-and-assignments-from-god

When you confess God’s word you are saying the same thing God is saying about whatever you’re confessing. You are coming into agreement with God. You are professing his wisdom, logic, promises and faithfulness over your life and circumstances. https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/2020/1/13/confess-the-word-of-god-to-renew-your-mind-and-be-transformed

When you remember that you’re forgiven and God has cleansed you from your sins, you are free to live untethered. From there on you have to guard your heart against the deceitfulness of riches and the cares of this world, as well as not yield your body to sin. You do so to keep your heart and conscience clear to hear and follow God’s instructions. https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/2020/1/13/is-your-h...

Too many Christians think they have to become better as if they’re not already complete in him and they need to become something more than they already are. More righteous, more sanctified, more holy, etc… Peter affirms that you’re already cleansed, you’re already all those things, so if you aren’t living that way, go back and affirm who you are and what he’s done. https://www.clintbyars.com/blog/...
