Fear talks people out of their calling. (Calling is obedience to God’s ordering of your steps) Fear talks people into doing crazy things. The Lord tells you to do something…and then fear stops you. People are going through a lot of different things. Jesus is the answer for every single one of them. But fear talks people out of what Jesus has called them to do. They say “the Lord is telling me this...

There are times in life it feels as though we are swallowed up by a big fish and now caught in “The Belly of The Beast”, unable to see in the darkness, unable to see past the current circumstance, unable to see a way out and thinking that this is the bitter end. If you are not feeling this right now, you know someone who is. Though you are swallowed up, you are not destroyed. While you walk with G...

A lot of times what happens is, as God begins to move and as fire in His house begins to stir, we are stewarding it really well…and it gets so comfortable. We are in God’s presence, growing in our prayer life, learning the Word, moving in the power of Holy Spirit with each other, and praying in church with words of prophecy going out…but what happens is we get comfortable and tempted to stay in th...

What can we learn from the book of Jonah? When God calls His Prophet to an assignment, it is expected for the Prophet to hesitate and feel a bit unqualified. This hesitancy is what will cause us to lean into God to accomplish His call. Jonah responded by running the other way and finding himself going lower and lower. God was at work, pointing the way to Jesus all the while and working His call in...

Our imagination can be our greatest strength or our greatest weakness. If you continue to imagine and picture yourself as someone who has no hope, you will probably remain in that state. Can you imagine yourself writing a huge check that brings funding to something that God is doing? Pastor Jacob teaches us to understand faith and why it is the substance of things hoped and the evidence of things...

There is one thing vital to our understanding and in our relationship with the Lord and Jesus is that one thing, the focus of our life. The post The One Thing | Part 2 | Pastor Duane Sheriff appeared first on Victory Life Church . Support the show https://victorylifechurch.com/teachings/

God wants Heaven to invade earth. “Your kingdom come, Your will be done” is our prayer. And we are to live in accordance to that prayer. So why isn’t the Kingdom of God perfectly enacted in earth as it is in Heaven??? It’s because of us…we’ve been pretty poor partners. How do you get in on what God is doing? If you’re still breathing, God has purpose for you. You need a vision of what God has for...

We need to understand that Jesus is the one necessary thing we need to live life as Christ. Everything comes from Jesus, and everything comes back to Jesus, the one thing.

New wine in old wineskins can destroy both. When God wants to do something new, we must prepare to receive it by preparing a new wineskin to contain it. We have our own perspective on life because of our own unique experiences and personality. What if we could adjust our perspective and humble ourselves in such a way as to see things from another’s point of view? This message explores 3 ways we ca...

As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are citizens of Heaven. Our citizenship IS IN Heaven. Some people are “blissfully soaking in God’s presence” yet pouring sour wine into their marriages, children, businesses.” Are you one of these Christians? Pay attention to the words of the Apostle Paul: we have citizenship in Heaven itself. Civil government changing is directly connected to the home and...

The enemy’s agenda has been to make us think small…survival. An encounter with Jesus and a relationship with Jesus truly leads to transformation. Your life can be transformed. I pray that your sight get elevated into all that God has; God’s Kingdom agenda is bigger than you getting over the next problem. Part of elevating our perspective is to see God’s Kingdom agenda for all it is which includes...

This transformed community is what we need to be immersed in! To see these above ten things, the Acts 2 Church devoted themselves to: Apostles’ teaching Fellowship Breaking of bread Prayer “We are a generation past people having a general respect for the Scriptures.  It’s gone from a general respect to indifference to hostility.  Now it’s hostility.  For you to ground your life on the Word of God...

Those in the crooked generation should look at the community of Christ and say “that’s how people are supposed to live. That’s what it looks like for people to live together in community.” The world’s laws, structures, and systems will not do that. Only the power of the Holy Spirit will do that! Only a group of people completely sold out to Jesus will do that. That’s what it takes to transform a c...

When baking a cake, if the baker uses half of just one ingredient the cake cannot fully be enjoyed. As we walk with God if we are missing one ingredient or using only half of what is called for, our Christian life cannot be fully enjoyed. Pastor Lee reminds us from Acts 2:42-47 that when The New Covenant Church began there were 2 ingredients: 1) Meeting in the Church daily 2) Meeting from house to...

Shame tries to set up camp in our hearts, but what if we made no room for it? What if the Kingdom’s space in our hearts was so great and strong that shame had no room to stay? All too often, we behave as though the Kingdom is simply a destination or something to acquire, but what if we lived as though the Kingdom of God is within us? The reason we need community is because when we are in […] The p...

God is faithful and not guilty of death, darkness, or pain. We live in a fallen world and will experience evil and tribulations that come by sin, not by the will of God.

We have all seen people do things and wonder why they did it. What made them make that decision? What is the thing in which they base all their decisions? But have you asked yourself that question and answered honestly? A lot of us, usually not realizing it, make decisions based on how we feel instead of the Word of God. It’s time to make the words “disciple” and “christian” synonymous. There shou...

We just came out of an event called Jubilee, our annual conference where we reflect, celebrate, and dream. We listen for what God is sayin for us as a body for the next year. Through Billy Epperhart’s message at Jubilee, we heard that it’s time to “break camp and move on”, heard from Deuteronomy 1:7. Here’s the thing: If we are to move, we have to know God’s voice. If we are to obey, we have to be...

What does it look like to step into the new things in your life with God? We are sitting on a goldmine of Promise! What good is a promise if you don’t know where it is? Jesus is our promise and there is more! God is ready to bring you into more! None of use earn these things, they are blessings to bring more of Heaven to Earth! Each blessing requires stewardship. We are not to try and do this […]...

Did you ever show up to an event where you felt underdressed or even overdressed? We are the Body of Christ, but we will be presented to him as his Bride. There are a lot of things that we need to put on but a lot of things we need to take off. Grace is the funding we needed to fill our wardrobe with Love. Grace that leads to unholiness is not grace. Grace empowers us to live a life […] The post G...

Look at the world around you. What do you see? Hate? Death? Darkness? Or, are you walking in faith and seeing the Kingdom? God’s Kingdom is here and cannot be destroyed. We have to walk by faith, not by sight until the day of Jesus appears; manifesting with Him the one and only Kingdom of God.

Listen as Andrew Wommack wraps up the Jubilee Week with this wonderful Sunday Morning message. About Andrew: March 23, 1968, was the day that Andrew Wommack’s life changed forever. God showed him just what supernatural love was really about, and Andrew’s theology transformed. God was a loving father that accepted him unconditionally and desired genuine fellowship with him. Ever since that day, And...

There is a cost to endure. We will suffer in this life and it does look overwhelming, but we have the ability to endure through the power and love of Jesus. It’s important to remember to seek first the Kingdom of God. Keeping our eyes on Jesus will build our faith and help us endure. Keeping a Kingdom/Eternal mindset will help us not to get in the weeds of the issues of this world, but to be more...
