Prayer365 with Enrique Brooks

“When you were stuck in your old sin-dead life, you were incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive—right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven, the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant canceled and nailed to Christ’s cross. He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.” - ‭‭Coloss...

Today, I want to put you in the seat of the accused, having many charges brought against you. The prosecution is about to cross-examine you, however the Judge asks this question: Have they been read their rights? The prosecutor reluctantly says "No." So the bailiff comes over with an old and says these words to you: "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that G...

The reward that we're highlighting today is for the Church of Philadelphia. Jesus acknowledged they were small in strength yet He honored their good works and patient endurance. Then He expressed that the reward for the victorious will be strength, stability and signature. In Revelation 3:12, Jesus says that He will make the victorious one like a pillar in the temple of God. Pillars are strong pos...

The next reward of the Finisher is to be dressed in white and a permanent place in the book of life. In order to understand the significance of being dressed in white, we must understand that the word describes Jesus as the bridegroom and the church as the bride of Christ. This means that the nature of our relationship is not simply that of the redeemer and the redeemed, but it's in fact much deep...

Authority is in your destiny! It’s a reward from the King of kings to the victorious. But this reward requires more than just enduring, it requires total submission to the will of God. Authority is pow-er but it’s also influence. Everywhere we look we see people competing for influence – fighting for power. This has been the case since the fall of man, it’s the reason why Cain killed Abel and why...

Yesterday, in Sunday’s message, we looked closely at the Church in Smyrna. Today, we are look-ing at what Jesus said to the Church in Pergamum. He described how He was fully aware of their environment – how they were living in such an evil place as Satan has made it the place of his throne. If you’re anything like me, you could make a case that Pergamum sounds a lot like where you live today as we...

In the book titled the Culture of Honor, Danny Silk shares what’s called the Principle of Honor. Here’s the definition says: “accurately acknowledging who people are will position us to give them what they deserve and to receive the gift of who they are in our lives.” This principle is based on the command to honor our father and mother with the promise of long life. At Bethel, Danny Silk’s affili...

Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” John 4:17-18 (NIV) “He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for...

Acknowledgement is the first step to recovery. This is a statement firmly believed by recovery programs and psychologists around the world. It’s the first of 12 steps to recovery. What they’ve discovered is that as long as the person stays in a state of denial, they will live in a place of deception and cannot leave. This is true with us. God is calling us to abundant, Kingdom living that’s found...

You are not only eternally prosperous through His will, but through his Spirit because it is His will that you receive the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. What Jesus says here is not a suggestion, a hope but a promise. He promises that if you drink of my water, you would never thirst again. The gift of Salvation that makes way for the Gift of the Holy Spirit, the two are not meant to be apart. W...

God is eternal. Before time existed, He was there. In fact, He is the creator of time so that means where He resides is outside of time and that place is called eternity. Because of this time has no ability to confine Him or anything associated with Him. He is without limits. He’s limitless. With this truth as our place of reference, when we consider the magnitude of the plans of God, as we’ve cal...

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1-2 NIV) Kevin Harr...

God’s prosperity plan is good, pleasing, perfect and eternal. Yesterday, we talked about the goodness of God’s plan where we declared that it’s all good! We know this to be true because all things work together for our good because we love Him and He made us with purpose (Romans 8:28). Today, I want to speak to the pleasure that’s found in God’s plan. For many we have developed mistaken perception...

God is Good, all the time and all the time God is Good. If you’ve spent time in the environment of the church, you’re probably familiar with this famous call and response. The pastor would stand before the pulpit before the congregation and declare aloud that “God is good!” and the church would respond, “All the time!” Then he’d follow right back with “And all the time..” and the church declare ri...

There is nothing better than God’s Prosperity Plan, nothing better than His perfect will. God’s plan is amazing in every way! For someone you may not feel so sure of this. Perhaps you’ve been distracted by the temporal pleasures of this world and they do all they can to make themselves seem of great value. The truth is the world, while very religious in nature, operates in hazardous ignorance. It...

Today as we close out this week of devotion and prayer, I want to give you three words of encouragement: Don’t give up! Say those words aloud to yourself, “Don’t give up!” For someone as you’ve said those words, your circumstances were speaking to you at the same time. That financial burden, the diagnosis from the doctor, your child’s behavior, that challenge at work, or the grief in your heart fr...

You will reap! This is not a statement of hope, nor is it a suggestion, but it is a fact. You will reap! Paul says it this way in Galatians 6:7, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” This is a universal law proven in every way that whatever is sown is what shall be reaped. So without question, I want you to know that you will reap! A harvest is in your future! Your...

In the process of growing crops farmers understand the significance of time. While they cannot control time, they respect the power of time. So instead of working against it, they work with it knowing that if they honor it, there will be a harvest on the other side. We have talented individuals in our congregation, such as Mother Williams who does a fantastic job with her personal garden she grows...

In this specific portion of his letter (Galatians 6), Paul emphasizes on the value of doing good. As a thryving citizen of the Kingdom of God, your life is a representation of God’s character and heaven’s culture. This means as a believer, all that you do is connected to who God is. God is good. Everything about Him is good. That which He produces is good. The psalmist declares that we should give...

In his letter to the churches in Galatia, Paul pens these words of encouragement: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9 NIV). As a person looking from the outside looking in, Paul recognizes the progress of these growing believers and he’s also aware of what stands between them and the harvest of their labor and i...

I want you to know that you are a steward of your thoughts. The word stewardship denotes responsibility and the absence of ownership. You may ask, Pastor, what are you saying? I can’t manage my own thoughts? My answer to you is that I’m saying the exact opposite. As a steward of your thoughts you have a responsibility to manage your thoughts, but it’s important to know that you, along with everyth...

Paul's urging to not conform to this world but be transformed by the renewing of one's mind is a reminder of Jesus's first words of His public ministry, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near." In other words, our access to the kingdom of heaven is just on the other side of our repentance (the changing of our thinking). Change your thoughts and you can change your life. Visit our show pa...

When Paul says that the church should "not conform to the pattern (culture) of this world", he was implying that the world is our place of origination. Think about it, in order to conform to a culture, that means you were originally from another. Friend, you are not from here! You were not produced of this world, but produced of Heaven from God's Spirit before the foundation of the earth (see Eph...
