We Are LifeChurch

We are all natural worriers. We like to try to see down the road and figure out our future. Doing so just causes us to fret. Stop worrying. Let tomorrow be, it has its own worries. Not only that, all we are given is today, and today is in the hands of the Lord.

There are literally thousands of fears in the world: fear of the dark, fear of water, fear of spiders, and…the fear of being ridiculed or "looking foolish." Faith is kind of like looking foolish. To others your actions may seem strange, out of place, or crazy, but they aren't hearing what you and God hear. It doesn't matter what your faith looks like to others because it isn't for them, it's only...

We all make promises…and we all break promises. God doesn't, His word is proof. Sometimes it feels like there's a disconnect though, His Word was then and this is now. How do we receive our promise?

So many things in this life are vying for our attention that it's easy to take our eyes off the mark. Hold onto that vision that is heaven, hold onto that place and anchor it in your mind. When you're heaven minded, God can work wonders through you like you've never imagined.

We, all of us, cycle through life in different seasons, just the way God intended. The devil though, likes to mess with those seasons. He likes to keep you in the dry dusty summer, or maybe in the cold, barren winter. He wants to keep you from your harvest. Realize you fight this spiritual enemy. You have the authority. Tell the devil to take his hands off your season.

The word "covenant" is an old word, one that has become irrelevant in modern society. It's an unfortunate thing, because "covenant" is what the whole Bible is about. Revelation about the meaning of covenant helps us understand both our responsibilities and expectations, as well as our privileges in God.

"Up." It's a pretty important word in the English language. It takes up almost a quarter page in the dictionary. "Up." It's a pretty important word to God, too. His will is that we Rise Up, Look Up, and Stand Up. The Devil wants us to Stay Down, Look Down, and Stand Down. But God is telling us to change our perspective from what we see, to what He sees. He's calling us to be what He needs us to be...

Up until the birth of Jesus, there was only one type of law. One that demanded justice. His birth marked the end of that demand. Jesus was mercy personified, and His sacrifice began a plan of true salvation, instead of a postponed one.

Which way are you headed? Do you know? Are you sure? Jesus said He was the Way. Isaiah tells of a Messiah that will establish a highway to Zion full of gladness and joy. It won't be an easy road, though, or easy to find. You'll have to look for it and constantly focus on your destination.

God's favorite people to use in mighty ways aren't the wise, the noble, or the wealthy. No. His favorites are the sinners, the broken, and the beaten down. Why? Because at the very end of things, no one could ever say it was made by man. Everything is for His glory.

God has a plan and a purpose to our lives, but just being saved doesn't give us access to that plan. No, we have to change our attitude. We need to be in agreement with God's plan instead of murmuring and complaining about it. His is the right one, not ours.

It's the mission of God to release miracles. You don't have to beg Him. He wants to heal you and make you whole. Just reach for Him.

By design, some things that are meant to break us, will make us if we let God work. He doesn't measure our lives by our failures or successes, but by how we recover from them. Don't ever give up, get up! You are not who people say you are, you are who God says you are.

Everyone comes to a point where their faith is shaken. It can come from anywhere, poking holes in our faith container, and letting it all drain out of us. The key to keeping it is not finding greater and greater sources of faith, but repairing your personal faith reservoir. That way, your tank wont just be full, it'll be overflowing.

You are the only one that determines what your past becomes. Does it stay the past, or does it become your future? Forgiveness is the key to healing. Let go of the past and start rebuilding what you've lost.

One of the most difficult questions in life to answer is...what do you do if you fall? Now, you can also ask yourself, "Who tripped me?" or "Did I trip myself?"But the big question is, do you stay down and wallow in misery, or do you get back up and make your comeback?

When you go to your fathers house, you speak to him in his language, be it Spanish, English, or Chinese. So in church what do you do? You speak the Father's language. Healing, miracles, tongues...it's a cultural thing. Speak His language, become part of His culture, and receive your miracle.

Sin is what happens when people do what they want to do instead of what God commands. When you go your own way long enough, it leaves brokenness, and that brokenness becomes part of your identity. Will you be ready to give up that identity when God is standing ready to heal you?

More often than you think, you hear the voice of God. But more often than you think, you ignore the voice of God. Listen! Don't ignore it! There is no way it's the devil telling you to minister to someone.

How does a church "go viral?" The Bible says that the apostles "turned their world upside down." There are millions of us, yet we barely extend past our four walls. What was it that the apostles had, what was it that they knew, that we do not?

Some of us are running on empty. Our spiritual gas tank is kept just full enough to keep us going, mostly because it's easy. Sometimes you have to push in prayer past those outward prayers. Let the Spirit flow through you, let it fill you all the way to the top, and then watch how God can use you.

So many Christians live below their potential, walking on eggshells through the world around them. We are children of God, with access to the same supernatural power that Jesus did while walking on the earth. We should expect God's favor on us, not because of who we are, but because of whose we are.

Happiness is a choice. It's not something that we become automatically overcome with on a daily basis. True happiness, joy, is something we decide to carry with us wherever we go, and when we leave it behind, we leave our strength with it.

Regardless of social status, pedigree, "blue blood", every single person on this planet came from dirt. Now, this is the same God who made heaven from pearls, crystal, and gold. Why would he make his most prized possession out of dirt?
