Comes after our HEART 3. Attacks our VISION 4. Comes at the MOMENT OF BREAKTHROUGH 5. Attacks RELATIONSHIPS 6. Affects our HEARING 7. Causes UNFORGIVENESS 8. Steals our TIME 9. Affects our PERSONAL ECONOMY God has f...

Jesus wants to settle some accounts! He says 70 X 7! The practice of forgiveness comes from a place of compassion that allows us to release and forgive. Church, we get to be the carriers, the agents of forgiveness for the world to see, so we can point people to Jesus! Forgiveness in the "C"hurch has been made attractive and not very practical or useful. Forgiveness is necessary, and we've made it...

Where are the men after God's heart? Those who are: OBEDIENT - Submission to someone greater HUMBLE - Servant COURAGEOUS - Fighter/Warrior PASSIONATE - Worshiper A man with a heart after God - LOVES GOD! Every man wants the Goliath story, but David also danced! Everyone wants to be the warrior, but what about also dancing before the Lord and looking foolish before people? Men, we are wired by God...

Even if we know Jesus, there's more to know. The whole world has talked and debated Jesus throughout history. "Who is Jesus?" His life has had a great impact on people, greater than any other person in history. Are we satisfied to know Him as we know Him today, or do we desire to know Him deeper? Is there anything left to surrender that is in the way of knowing Him more? Is there any part of your...

Unity, Stability and Maturity in The Body of Christ - God is accomplishing it through the building of the Five-Fold Ministry. Jesus gave us Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds and Teachers, representing His own ministry. We are shifting from a One-Man Ministry to a Five-Fold Ministry - the divine wisdom of God, and He is restoring it in the Earth today. It is for the equipping of the saints...

When we receive Holy Spirit, we should expect to speak in tongues. Holy Spirit doesn't take over your tongue, but does tell you what to say, giving you the words to speak out of your mouth. We have to speak what He says. First - We are filled with the PERSON of HOLY SPIRIT. THEN - Holy Spirit tells us what to say. It's Holy Spirit's job to give us the "utterance," but it's our job to do the speaki...

Our Helper! Holy Spirit! Not just with us, BUT IN US! "If I can get them scared of Holy Spirit, I will get the power out of their life." The enemy understands the dunamis power we have through Holy Spirit. He wants to keep us operating in our natural power, and not Holy Spirit's supernatural power. He wants to tame and domesticate Christians to believe that salvation is about behavior modification...

"He sees crowds of people doing their own thing, making their own way, putting their trust in their own abilities and doing what is best for themselves. And He is saying, 'Excuse me, you're in My way.'" God wants to move in our lives, but we won't slow down, stop and listen and give up what WE want to to do, while wanting Him to bless our desires. If we would let Him through and let Him lead, path...

God made it possible through Jesus for believers to have a "tuner" on the inside of us to hear from Him. Because you have indwelling Holy Spirit, you can tune into Heaven and hear the voice of the Lord. 4 Ways God Speaks to Us: 1 God speaks to us through the BIBLE. 2 God speaks through HOLY SPIRIT. 3 God speaks through OTHER PEOPLE. 4 God speaks through CIRCUMSTANCES.

“Come back to FIRST LOVE. Remember the love we shared.” The Lord asked us and is NOW asking us to return to FIRST LOVE. It’s loving GOD FIRST. Loving Him before and ahead of anything else and anyone else, including our SELF. It’s letting Him have first place, first priority in our heart, soul, mind, strength, body and life. Every area. All that we are. GOD IS LOVE!!! Every day we need to receive H...

What does Christianity look like? 1) Deny yourself! 2) Take up your cross! 3) Follow Jesus! Being born-again is bigger than saying a prayer and attending church on Sundays. When we say, "I do," we are married to Jesus! It's waking up everyday and saying, "I do!" It's having a relationship with Him, and not cheating on Him. It's being faithful ALL the time. He is above all! SERMON NOTES: https://ww...

I can prevail, because JESUS prevailed! The enemy tries to destroy us with pressure. Jesus tries to grow us with pressure. The pressure and crushing that comes into our lives has two agendas. One is of heaven, and one is of hell. We have to choose which one we agree with. JESUS IS the RESURRECTION! [John 11:25-27] https://theroads.church

If we know something is the will of God, and we are releasing our faith to receive it and bring it into our lives, we have to BE PREPARED - STEP # 3 IS COMING! It's called "Resistance." There is an enemy that does not want us to have what the will of God is for our lives. We have to be determined to "OVERCOME OPPOSITION." Be strong! And of Good Courage! Do not fear, nor be afraid. The Lord your Go...

"when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved - shaken; vibrated, agitated, created a commotion. Jesus wants to come and shake up things in our lives, and flip upside down "normal." When we come into contact with JESUS . . . One encounter with Jesus can change everything! It has the power to change our "normal" way of doing things. We are a new creation in Christ! Shake us. Move and agi...

KEY # 2 - Believe the will of God, and have faith enough to be moved to action! Do we believe enough that it moves us to action? If we are going to receive (lambano) what God has for us, His promises for our lives, it's going to require us to 1) Know what the will of God is and 2) believe it so much that my actions change - the way I talk, the way I believe, the way I act. "And since we have the s...

". . . 𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐘 these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them." Deut 31:3 God destroyed the works of the devil, and we are to take possession by driving out the previous tenant to put out of occupancy and reoccupy. The Enemy's authority has been taken away, so that we can drive our enemies out and once we have driven them out - we reoccupy with the things of God. 𝐊𝐄𝐘 # 𝟏 - 𝐊𝐍...

Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Do you see this woman?" Church, do we see the value of people? The value of the lost sheep the way that God sees them from Heaven? In a way that moves us to action to take the gospel to them? We can believe the truth that Jesus died for all of us, but does that truth move us to a point that we show and share the truth with everyone? How many people do you pass in the co...

Our highest priority at The Roads Church is the presence of God, and sometimes it looks very different than the traditional service schedule, and the prepared sermon. And what we know - it's all about Him, and when we make it all about Him, we get to connect people with Jesus from all roads of life.

God wants to remind you of your authority, and that the enemy doesn't have a right in your life, without your permission. The only way the enemy gets a seat in your life, is if you pull out a chair for him, by agreeing with him instead of agreeing with God. Where have you given up your seat, and let the enemy have a place in your life? 3 The Lord your God Himself crosses over before you; He will d...

It was God's plan from the beginning " . . . for them to take dominion . . . " And to " . . . fill the earth and subdue it . . . " God knew there was an enemy in the garden, and gave Adam and Eve to dispossess the enemy. Why didn't God just kick the enemy out of the garden? There is a responsibility on God's side that the people COULD NOT DO without Him, and there's a responsibility on the people'...

God's Word is FIRE & like a HAMMER! What Word has God given you that you are standing on? For your circumstance? For your breakthrough? His Word is active, and it produces things in us and through us. "Is not my word like a fire?" says the Lord, "And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?" Jeremiah 23:29 James 1:21–24, James 1:2–4, Romans 10:17, Jeremiah 23:29, Exodus 3:2–4 https://theroads...

Cross OVER! Drive Out! Take Possession! & Occupy! God instructed Israel how they would move into the Promised Land dependant on Him. God would destroy the enemy that was bigger and stronger than them, AND then the Israelites were to "dispossess" them in cooperation with God. God wants us to possess our Promised Land. Our Promised Land is becoming like JESUS! Our enemy is anything in our life that...

Do you need to "dispossess" some things in 2024? As believers, we have an inheritance, and Jesus has already destroyed and disarmed the enemy, so we can take possession of our inheritance. Sometimes though, we don't know what we've inherited, or we don't possess our inheritance, and sometimes, we let the devil with his lies move into our hearts and live with us. Are you ready to have victory and t...

2024 is going to start with a choice! A choice to serve what you believe, and not what you feel. No one can choose for you. You must choose for YOURSELF. It's time to make a decision! Are you going to fear the Lord? Are you going to serve Him in sincerity and truth? Are you going to put away some things that are distracting you from serving Him? Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve....
