Pastor Mark Stroud

In order for temptation to be valid two things must be true. There must be both a desire and the ability to fulfill a promise given. Satan will offer us counterfeit versions of the legitimate desires that God has given us. Although these counterfeits are quick and easy to obtain, the price the enemy exacts for them is much too high. Don't submit to Satan's authority. Don't forsake your destiny in...

The scriptures tell us that as followers of Christ we will be hated by some without a cause. Don't compromise who you are. Don't forsake your salvation. Don't forsake your calling. Stand firm. Put on your armor and prepare for the battle against the need to be liked. www.kingdomrock.org

Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us. While we wait on His return, we need to stay where He has placed us. Deceivers will come and try to lead you astray. Don't let them. Know the voice of Jesus, and flee from the Strange Voices. www.kingdomrock.org

What happens in a pot that continues to heat up over time? Sooner or later it will reach the boiling point. Our culture is like that pot. It's currently under great pressure from the fires of change. A storm is coming that will change the world forever. The Light of Christ is already shining in the mist of darkness. Jesus is coming! We must be ready. kingdomrock.org

Don't let the enemy cage you. Don't let him shut down your gift. Jesus has given you the power to put your foot on the enemy's neck. You are no longer bound. You are free. So stay free and get out of the ditch (those mental ruts that bind us). kingdomrock.org

Jesus' sacrifice on the cross delivered us from the power of sin and the penalty of sin. Don't let sin control you. Don't live your life trying to pay a debt that has already been paid. Instead let the grace of God abound in your life. www.kingdomrock.org

Adam's sin brought judgment on us all. Jesus' act of righteousness made new life available to us all. We just have to chose it. Sin still crouches at the door waiting for the opportunity to pounce. It wants to control you. Don't let it. Gain the strength you need to subdue it through the knowledge of the truth. kingdomrock.org

Fear, condemnation, and shame for sin will keep us from God. It creates a barrier and prevents us from achieving intimacy with God. The work of the cross removed that barrier. Now we can fully see Him and be transformed into His image. When we focus on sin that barrier returns. Instead of seeing Jesus and flowing freely in His love and grace, we become yet again bound by the death that the law bri...

God gave Moses the law to show His people their sin and the death that it would bring. Jesus came and did the work necessary to redeem us from this death. His sacrifice allows us to live under Grace. Now, instead of dwelling under the hopelessness of sin, we can look to Jesus and live. We can focus on Him and be transformed. kingdomrock.org

Focus is the ability to see with optimum clarity the path set before you in order to make sound decisions. It is the ability to set proper priority in the mist of chaos and confusion. But what happens when our lives are out of focus? How can we regain that focus? Join Pastor Mark Stroud as he speaks a practical and inspiring word which will help you to regain your focus and move forward in your wa...

The Lord has ordained the Body of Christ to rule and reign in the earth. To that end, we have been given great power and authority to manifest the will of God. Having power and displaying it are two different things. To find the answers, we must learn to walk the Path of Power. This message is part 9 in the series Fake Church.

Our actions did not make us sinners likewise they cannot make us righteous. The first Adam's offence caused condemnation to all of those who came after him. Because of his act we are all born sinners. The obedience of Jesus Christ (the last Adam) brought the free gift of justification to all who choose to be born again. When we are born again the blood of Jesus makes our spirit perfect. As we yiel...

The first covenant, the law, was performance based. If you did good, you received good. If you did bad, you received bad. The sacrifices of animals had to be made continually and still only the outward person was cleansed. It did nothing for the inward person. Jesus came to fulfill the first covenant and establish the second covenant of grace. Because of His one and only sacrifice we have been for...

Under the law the high priest sacrificed animals once a year to cover the sins of the people for that year. Jesus sacrificed Himself for the forgiveness and cleansing of sin once and for all time. This Flood of Blood guarantees we are forever free from condemnation, judgement, and rejection. kingdomrock.org

Jesus has washed all of our sins away and justified us from all things. When we sin we need to remember that Jesus has condemned sin and set us free from the law of sin and death. The devil wants us to forget this so we will be docile and impotent. Don't! Stay under grace. Remember we are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus. We are redeemed and Forever Forgiven.

Our sins have been forgiven by the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. All of them - past, present, and future sins. They are not forgiven because we confess them. Rather, we confess them because we are forgiven. Sin seeks to enslave and master us. Confessing it brings it into the light and takes away its power. Remember we are not dependent on our righteousness because we are the righteousness of...

When we depend on our actions to make us right with God, we forsake Grace and operate under the Law. We cannot be good enough, and we cannot do enough to be righteous in God's sight. It is the finished work of Jesus Christ alone that has the power to save us. Don't frustrate the Grace of God. Walk by faith. But sometimes doing this is a struggle. That's why you must put on the righteousness of Chr...

God saved you because He loves you not because you earned it. God does not punish us for sin but He does discipline us in love. His love is unconditional. Sin has its own penalties and consequences built in it so when we sin, we need to immediately repent, declare the goodness of the Lord, and declare we are righteous in Him. The devil will try to persuade us to be sin focused and think we have to...

We are born into the family of God and properly positioned into sonship so we can receive our inheritance. Even so we will still face challenges in this life. We aren't strong enough to overcome them by ourselves. Because of the promises God made to us in His word, we don't have to go it alone. We can let God fight for us. We can pull on the righteousness of Jesus and not our own works. We can hol...

Jesus shifted us from the struggle to possess to the fight to believe that what God said is true. As believers we have been given an inheritance. Don't let the devil persuade you that you are lacking. Don't let him convince you to cast away your birthright to meet a temporary need. Hold fast to your inheritance, and Tell Hell No! kingdomrock.org

Jesus is a master carpenter. He has to tear down the wrong in our lives before He can build us up. During this construction phase we are vulnerable. The enemy will take advantage of this and tempt us to leave our inheritance. Don't allow his lies to overwhelm and overcome you. Don't allow him to persuade you to walk away from what Jesus is doing in your life. Don't cast away your confidence. God i...

The goal of the enemy is to get believers to devalue and/or abandon their inheritance. Don't let him draw you into the gates of hell. Don't fall for the opportunities to sin that he sends your way. Bind the enemy. Pray continually. Confess the word of God and Tell Hell No! Visit us at kingdomrock.org
