Real Life Church: God is the God of the Bible

The intellectuals of our land would have you believe that you have more in common with the Great Ape than you do the Great God. But that is a lie! Don't believe it for a moment. You came from the Divine and have unlimited promise and potential.

Isaiah 50:5 9NASB) "The Lord GOD has opened my ear, . . ." Think about it. If we, like our Master before us, could accurately and consistently hear the voice of our Father, we'd never be fooled again, never be played again, and never defeated again - ever! It's doable and well within reach for each of us!

We have all heard about the "Power of Agreement" between believers. Can you imagine the power that is released into our lives when we decide to "Agree with God"? Job 22:21 (ESV) "Agree with God, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you."

Everyone seems divided on the efficacy of masks. Do they work or not? Some say they do and others declare they don't, but as for me and my house, we believe you should never leave your house without protecting your mouth. It works! It really does. 

If you haver ever felt Unappreciated in the world or even in the church, this message is for you! I want to show you why you don’t need recognition or appreciation. Your feeling of being unappreciated may be proof of your worth and value. At RLC we are seeking to build an army not an audience.  Soldiers in an army will do things, endure things and accomplish things spectators in an audience w...

No Age Limit for God's Ability. No Time Limit for God's Favor. No matter how many days have passed, or even if the days have grown into years. It's Never Too Late to be what God ordained for you to be! As long as we have a day called "Today" we have time to accomplish incredible things.

What is potential? Potential generally refers to a currently unrealized ability; having the capacity to become or develop into something in the future. Therefore we have the Potential to be who God called us to be.

When Grace coming knocking don't hide thinking it's the law. The scripture tells us that Jesus stands at the door and knock - do we duck and hide, or do we open the door?

Your greatest enemy is fear; fears great weapon is the uncertainty of what will happen in the future. Think about it. All fear comes from what might happen. These are uncertain times for many but not for all. There are a few - a happy powerful few - for whom the future has no fear. These are the few who know that the future is good, grand, and even great.

Why do we struggle to receive from God the abundant gifts He offers? Because many of us confuse wages with gifts and grace with works. If it is a gift, then it isn't a wage (something earned), and if it is of grace, then it is never of works.

Today the body of Christ acts as if its common, ordinary, and impotent before the crisis of our day. The body of Christ is uncommon, extraordinary, and powerful beyond comprehension. When we rediscover what our God made us to be, we become modern day superheroes.

Faith is the only way to please God and it's not emotional or mental. The God pleasing faith changes your behavior and as you act on what God has spoken it is what brings results.

According to Ephesian 1:3, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. He doesn't say that we are blessed if we believe. We are blessed because we are believers

As we walk this faith walk out step by step there will be seasons when not only do we FEEL foolish, puny and powerless but we will LOOK foolish, puny and powerless. Know this that God will not place us where we are not yet prepared to occupy, nor will HE place us where the place we are to occupy is yet unprepared.

Forgiveness is intended to free you from pain, not to reopen old wounds or increase the emotional trauma. To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.

Jesus asked the Father to forgive the people who had betrayed, brutalized and condemned Him. He tells us we have to forgive people who have wronged us and Let Them Go. The person who gains the most from forgiving is the one who offers the forgiveness. Forgiveness is the pathway to freedom. 

A common denominator of the Bibles' outstanding people is that they each endured seasons of difficulty and stress just as you and I do. God tells us to Look UP in our dark nights that try our sou and the answer to the down cast soul is to Look UP and consider God.

Praise is a form of prayer and we must praise the Lord through our ups and through our downs. It is sometimes hard to praise God when we're in our down times but that's why the Bible calls it a sacrifice of praise because you will have to push through. As you praise the Lord you will gain power, it will impact everything. Praise will hinder the enemy, it will liberate God and it will empower you.

The Bible speaks of three tabernacles - The Pre-Tabernacle, The Tabernacle of Moses Proper and The Tabernacle of David. If you are a child of God then we live in The Tabernacle of David where we can go freely and praise and worship God for ourselves. We don't have to wait on a priest to do all the rituals in the different courts or different parts of the Tabernacles. We have the right through the...

Praise focus on WHO GOD IS, WHAT GOD HAS DONE and WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED. Praise is all about HIM.

Eccesiastes 3:1 tells us that "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven" and this season is defined as a period of time associated with some form of activity. Like when we have those time that every question that is asked of us our answer is I DON'T KNOW" and our success in life is determined by how we manage seasonal changes. Just know that even when we don't know Go...

When it's time to move into a new season, a new location, a new direction, do we trust HIM and move forward or do we become scared and shut down? Don't go through life, grow through life. It's not about standing or moving it's about doing what you are doing in faith.

The faith that was once handed down is in danger. We believe that God is more able to guide us than the enemy is to deceive us. When you're trying to figure out whether "Is It God" or not, test it against the Word of God and then you're know.

There are times when we feel all alone and when we mess up, it makes us feel like giving up. We can be assured that God is with us. He said he will never leave us nor forsake us. So when we feel any negative thoughts, we need to speak out loud "God Is With Me".

The very blessing given to us by God present the potential to be the cause by which we forget the very God who blessed us. Our safe place is the pursuit of the high prize, which is Jesus Christ Himself.
