Jacob did not own his faith until he wrestled with God at Penuel, where he saw God face to face. If you will go to Penuel at night, the place where you wrestle with God to find His blessing, you too will emerge in the morning with your own peace and faith.

We love to imagine great success and big dreams for our future; we love to call this faith. Most of what we fantasize about does not come true. And then God gets the blame - either for not making our fantasies come true, or for allowing the bad things that we didn't plan on. These false expectations of God end up damaging our actual faith, or possibly killing our relationship with Him altogether....

The thief that is crucified with Jesus has perhaps the greatest faith in all the gospel accounts. Why? He saw something that even the disciples did not see. That Jesus truly is a King!

Are You All In? (with Becky Foster) by Pastor Mitch Coston

When Nehemiah carried a burden of fasting and prayer in his heart for his fellow Israelites in Jerusalem, God and the king promoted him to authority to go home and bring the solution to their distressed situation. If you have a burden of love to minister to a group of people, to the point of weeping and fasting for their salvation and freedom, God will promote you to authority to bring the solutio...

The story of Queen Esther is a powerful model of Christ and His Bride, the Church. Listen and learn how much Jesus loves His Church, and how He has entrusted His authority and His Name to us.

Why does fasting add power to our prayers? What does it feel like to fast? How does skipping food create spiritual communion with God?

Matt. 25:40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

John 20:21-23 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

When Jesus told the story of the good Samaritan in Luke 10, He finished it with the statement, "Go and do likewise." What does that mean for us in our world?

Romans 8:16–17 (NKJV) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Matt. 8:9-10 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith."

Matthew 8:9–10 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

Isaiah 9:2 The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined.

Dropping Judgments- What Is Forgiveness (Pastor Josh Albers) by Pastor Mitch Coston

Luke 2:15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”

Luke 1:31-35 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?...

Luke 7:37-38 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. Luke 7:47 Therefore I say to y...

Matthew 6:34 Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. "Worry is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength - carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but it does empty today of its strength." -- Corrie ten Boom

Genesis 6:2,4 The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. Matthew 17:1–5 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a h...

Jesus Christ has all authority over evil spirits. He gave us that authority also, in His Name. But when Jesus or the apostles cast out demons, there was no Hollywood horror movie or "deliverance ministry" type drama. They spoke with authority, love, and compassion to those in torment and affliction.

On Sat., Oct. 20, a group of witches met in NYC to curse Justice Kavanaugh. A group of Christians gathered around that location and sang songs about the blood of Jesus. Are both of these groups just superstitious? Is witchcraft real? Does sorcery have any real power? Is Halloween just harmless fun and games? How can I have spiritual authority? Acts 19:17–20 The story of what happened spread quickl...

The Bible tells us that we are not wrestling with flesh and blood, but with evil spirits (Eph. 6). But most of our conflicts in the supernatural battle are going to happen with other people. How do we fight a spiritual battle in a natural world? How do we fight lies and sin without hurting the people who are hurting us? Our answer is found in Jesus' strategy: he died to defeat the devil (Heb 2:14-...
