As disciples, followers of Jesus, we need to endure trials, testing and longsuffering. Matthew 24 says, "He who endures to the end, shall be saved." Being a disciple, requires us to OBSERVE what He has commanded. To see it, apply it, and obey it. How serious it is when we trample Jesus, the son of God, under our feet when we don't choose Him, but rather be the god of our own lives. The blood that...

Jesus prunes those that He loves. (John 15:2) How many are willing to be pruned by Jesus? What's too much for Jesus? NC Campus Pastors - Louis & Mona DeVous challenges us to be careful of the "get by" mindset. God is challenging us to break it off, step out in faith and go above and beyond for what seems over-the-top. ENCOUNTER TESTIMONY PLAYLIST - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOiIvDYioGk&list=...

Stuck between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's Army? And there's "NO WAY OUT?" Stand still! Look at Jesus. Keep quiet, and move forward. The Lord will fight for you! Even when the obstacle is still there, it's our responsibility to trust God, and keep moving forward to what He's told us to do. What have you seen God do in your life before now? He can do it again!

"CHRISTIAN" means CHRIST-LIKE, it does not mean church-goer. What are we choosing? What are we becoming? Examining “As it is in Heaven” (Matthew 6 : 9-13) means examining what we are choosing. Choosing His Kingdom AUTOMATICALLY means saying “no” to the kingdom of the Earth. It is a love relationship with the King of Kings, Jesus, that causes lesser loves to fall away. When the Kingdom of Heaven co...

CHURCH - our lane is the EARTH! It's God's dominion, Jesus is the King, and the world needs the truth to be set free. God put a system in place to have His will be done on earth - PRAYER & DOMINION. We must be in relational communion with God in order to exercise the delegated authority for influencing all areas of society. The ramification of Christians not taking dominion is ungodliness ruling....

What if everything we've ever known about Church, is not like it is in Heaven? What if what we're comfortable with is not God? What if what makes us comfortable doesn't make Him comfortable? Church it's not about us. It's about Jesus, and God wants to break a culture of religion that is picky and preferential. God is wanting us to transition from singing about someone to seeing Him, for our worshi...

William Wood, from Global Awakening, shares with us the importance of seeing ourselves through the lens of our Creator. "When we desire to be somebody else, or take on somebody else's identity, or find our identity through some other means, we create within ourselves a dual identity, which creates an internal conflict that can only bring trauma to the soul. It is so important to understand who we...

Jesus has all authority in the Earth. This is Jesus' earth, and He's looking for ambassadors who will possess it for Him as authorized representatives of Jesus, as God pleads through our lives for people to be reconciled to Him. Our lives should be a walking billboard, through our words and actions - "Be reconciled to God." It's our job to take back the earth, teaching people to obey and conform t...

Church, we have an assignment! It is God's original plan. It is to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to the Earth. It is through Jesus that we are redeemed from a dead spirit to a born again, living spirit that can house Holy Spirit. It's the same power as Jesus himself was anointed with to fulfill God's plan. Jesus used the power He was given to "do good" everywhere He went teaching, praying, laying on...

Maranatha is a groan and a prayer that before the return of Jesus will be the overwhelming cry of all of us, both individually and corporately - "COME LORD JESUS!" It is the plan of God that the Church, as His people, recover the Maranatha cry to determine that our lives are in alignment with His desire for us. In the early church there was a declaration - "Maranatha!" that has mostly been lost to...

From the very beginning, God's desire was Heaven on Earth. Jesus said to pray for the will of God to be on earth AS it is in Heaven. So we are to pray that Earth is the same way it is in Heaven. God assigned us to make Earth like Heaven from the beginning, when He put us in the Garden of Eden that we were to tend/work and keep/protect, as we increased it to spread around the world. Even the buildi...

Will we be satisfied with little nibbles of bread for ourselves, or will we beg for loaves because someone is needing a miracle? The door may be shut now, but we keep knocking. We keep asking. Do you have the resolute boldness that goes beyond normal restraint, with no sensitivity for what is proper like Jesus taught us to pray that never gives up, never quits? We have nothing to offer others with...

If it is possible . . . nevertheless. On earth as it is in heaven involves submitting our on earth preferences to His in heaven will. Jesus dealt with sorrow in the midst of God's will. Just like Jesus, it is possible for us to be right where God wants us, and still experience struggle, anguish and grief. It doesn't mean God has abandoned us. But it is when we do what Jesus did. Jesus, dealing wit...

If our prayer time is only trying to convince God to give us what we want, we're not praying the way Jesus told us to pray. He taught us to pray the will of heaven to be done on the earth, not the will of earth to be done in heaven. His will is transformative and can take something that is and make it something different. God can transform our situations from what it is in the natural to what it c...

We have a Father in heaven, and He and His Kingdom is our reality that rules over the earth. He is God. He is Holy. Jesus said for us to pray to our Father that His Kingdom (way, system) come. Christianity is a Kingdom with a King, and He is King Jesus! We serve Him, and not principles. Jesus also said for us to pray that the Father's Will be done on earth. We don't just talk about His will, but w...

Like the children of Israel called to a place of promise, everyone of us, by His Word are called to something, and God places each one of us in a calling for a purpose. We cannot let our comfort keep us from what God has for us, but instead be separate from the world and walk in the plan of God for our lives. Every one of us goes through a time where we don't feel like we measure up, we're not goo...

God is making oil. The Pressing is not your story. Becoming the Oil is your story through the crushing and pressing, just like an olive that first has to be crushed and then pressed. There are two millstones that can crush us. We can choose the millstone that crushes us and turns us into oil that God can come and consume, or we can choose the millstone tied around our neck to be drowned in the sea...

Family is the heartbeat of Heaven. We are moving into a time that people are being called out of Babylon (the world's culture and system that is inherently evil), and awakening to the fact that their lives have been tethered to a culture that has been manipulating and guiding them in a false narrative towards Hell, and God is saying, "My body, my bride is waking up to this fact, and I am leading t...

Pentecost is not a weird denomination, it's a Jewish feast that literally means 50, and it falls 50 days after Passover. Holy Spirit is the Promise Jesus told the disciples to wait for, and is the one that came on the day of Pentecost. Holy Spirit is the person of Pentecost. Jesus baptizes us into Holy Spirit, and it is through Holy Spirit that we have supernatural influence in the midst of opposi...

The Cup of Praise or The Wedding Cup is the fourth and final cup of Passover. Exodus 6:7 “I will take them as my own people, and I will be their God” sounds very much like the verse in Song of Solomon 6:3 “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” “I will take” in Hebrew means “to marry.” These verses are not just promises, they are a marriage proposal. God is asking the Hebrews: These are my pro...

By God's grace we have been saved, rescued, healed, made whole. Saved isn't about "getting" saved, but rather about "becoming" saved. It's an ongoing, continual process of: "I have been saved," because Jesus saved us by dying on the cross; "I am being saved," as we are becoming who He wants us to become; and "I will be saved," when Jesus returns and takes us to heaven. And just like we go "through...

There are things about God's love, and a depth of His love that He wants to reveal to His Bride, the Church. The Gospel is a love story that He wants to restore. Love is who He is, and it is His motivation for everything He does. He wants to restore our first love to Him, the love that we have for each other as the body of Christ, and the love for others, outside the body of Christ. It is when our...

We are saved, healed and delivered based on who we are connected to - Jesus, and not based on what we're separated from. We can still be a "good person," and not participated in doing certain things, and still not be in a relationship with Jesus. Jesus is the Way, and the only Way. It's God's rules, cuz it's God's Heaven, and His Way offers the most inclusive life there is. He came to save the who...

Can you imagine what the disciples were going through from the Resurrection to the day of Pentecost - what they were thinking and feeling, and THE WAITING? So much of our lives are just spent waiting that is actually leading us from glory to glory, as we lean in and refine our focus, and wait for the promise of the Father. In the midst of the waiting, don't abandon the promise. We don't ever escap...
