Alpha and Omega Ministries International "Audio Messages"

Last Sunday, we wrapped up our study on the many benefits of prayer. But knowing the benefits is only the beginning. Today, we shift our focus to something deeper: how to revive the flame of prayer in our lives. We'll explore the two foundational pillars that sustain an effective prayer life, and we'll also look at the different kinds of prayer that God has given us to engage with Him fully.

When it comes to an effective prayer life we must be willing to study the subject in depth, meditate on the value of prayer, and be willing to learn from others as well.

The believer who prays is a believer who is empowered. But not just any kind of prayer—this kind of transformation comes through prayer that is fervent, faith-filled, and persistent. It's the kind of prayer that refuses to give up, that presses in when answers seem delayed, and that believes God is working even when nothing seems to be changing. When we pray like this, we are not just speaking words into the air—we are communing with the Spirit of the Living God. And in that place of prayer, His power begins to work in us, changing our desires, renewing our minds, healing our hearts, and strengthening our inner man. If you want to walk in the fullness of what the Spirit has for you, then prayer is the pathway–The doorway to Transformation.

The Holy Spirit is not just a gift for the beginning of our journey. He is the One who carries us, fills us, and empowers us to live the life God has called us to.

The transformative work of Jesus crucifixion and resurrection, pours out through the Holy Spirit into all creation. Wilderness wastelands, previously void of His life giving and sustaining nature, start to become lush green flowering fields, alive once again to His touch.

There is a kind of love that breaks every yoke and limitation. A love so vast, so incomprehensible, that human understanding cannot contain it. This is the love of God—the love of the Father for His children. And today, as we approach Passover, I want to remind us of the greatest expression of love, the love that Jesus our Lord demonstrated on the cross when He laid down His life for us.

The Fear of God - Part 2 by Alpha and Omega Ministries International

Each of us will face a moment where we must decide whether we will truly follow Christ or remain mere spectators.

Obedience: The Path to God's Manifest Presence (Local Fellowship) by Alpha and Omega Ministries International

Experiential Knowledge of God by Alpha and Omega Ministries International

Obedience is the gateway to divine intimacy. Think about that for a moment: the Creator of the universe, the King of glory, desires to manifest Himself to those who love and obey Him. To the one who follows His commandments, Jesus makes a life-altering promise: the Father and the Son will come and dwell within them. Can you grasp the weight of that reality? God Himself making His home in us, surrounding us with His manifest presence wherever we go.

Conforming to the Image of Christ by Alpha and Omega Ministries International

In many Scripture verses we see again and again the same phrase, “Jesus was moved with compassion”. And every time, His compassion led Him to action. His faith went into action and He healed the sick, fed the hungry, opened blind eyes, raised the dead, and taught the lost. This is the faith that cannot be denied, faith that is activated, energised, and empowered by compassion.

Today, we continue our study into a deeper understanding of the origins of the two foundational laws that govern the human race: 1. The Law of Sin and Death 2. The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus Both laws are presently at work in our world, shaping lives, families, nations, and the entire world.

We continue our journey into the life-transforming power of faith-filled declarations. This spiritual principle is a divine key that unlocks destinies, shifts circumstances, and aligns us with the perfect will of God.

As believers, when we speak words of faith, we are participating in something far more significant than just positive thinking. Our words are carriers of divine power, capable of shaping our future in alignment with Gods will.

The purpose of the five fold ministry is to mature us, to bring us into the fullness of the stature of Christ, to measure up to the full and complete standard of Christ. This is the mission of our ministry. No to tickle your ears with half truths, but to equip you and encourage you to go on to maturity. In short to take you from the milk of the word to solid food.

God wants all of humanity to be like Christ. He is the perfect example and representation of what all men should be like and He is the Standard by which all men will be judged. God in His infinite wisdom made it possible through the sacrifice of Jesus for all mankind to be conformed to the image of His Son.

God's ultimate purpose for us is not to be happy, or comfortable, or even prosperous, but to be conformed to the image of His Son. Romans 8:29 (NKJV) “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” This is God's ultimate purpose! This is the big picture. For this cause, the cause of being conformed to the image of Christ, we can rise from our bed every single day with anticipation and excitement to what Christ will do through us.

Experiencing God in the midst of the challenge by Alpha and Omega Ministries International

In this message we marry Japanese ceramic artistry to the context of 2 Corinthians. Using Ancient Japanese ceramic styles and techniques to illustrate both: a) the Corinthian Church's tainted expectation of what Paul an Apostle should be like, and b) Paul's striking response to them. Giving further elaboration to Paul's emphatic rebuttal of their errant views. My purpose in metaphorically contrasting these opposing views on what an Apostle (or any follower of Jesus) should be like, is to reveal to how beautiful our brokenness is in the hands of our Heavenly Father.

The word forged means to be formed by pressing or hammering. Psalm 66 describes the type of forging God puts His people through in order to form and shape them into the kind of people He wants them to be.

The ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer is of outmost importance and without Him we can of ourselves do nothing that has any real value in the eyes of God.

The Bible teaches that there are two kinds of education. The one comes from the Spirit of God and the other comes from our 5 physical senses. We need both.

Speak the Word, meditate in it day and night, observe and do what the Word says, and then you will make your way prosperous and have good success.

The purpose of this teaching is to help us understand the importance of being thoroughly equipped through the Word of God for every good work the Lord has assigned us to do.

The life of Christ within us brings with it a change of mind, a change of attitude, a change of dreams and desires, and a change of purpose. He brings with him a newness of life based on the righteousness of God. This change is so radical, extreme, and fundamental.

The Christ life is a life of service and sacrifice. It is a life devoted to the will and the purposes of God. There is no room in the Christ life for selfish dreams and ambitions. There is no room for self preservation.

Willingness Through Trust by Alpha and Omega Ministries International

Next to our salvation in Christ, and the born again experience, the most significant and powerful revelation we can receive is the revelation of our identity in Christ. We must come to terms with who we are in Christ and allow our spiritual identity to not only define us but empower us to be who we are called to be and do what we are called to do on this side of heaven.

The born again experience, and becoming new creations in Christ, is the greatest and the most significant miracle we received through Christ and it ought to be the source of our greatest joy and excitement.

We might be present physically but our attention and mind is diverted somewhere else. Our minds are all over the place and our expectations elsewhere. Too many distractions occupy the attention of the Church today and as a result we miss what God is saying to us and what He wants to do in our life and in the lives of those we care for.

Today we will take a look at how the Lord brings about this brokenness in us and the ways He uses to it remove the veil from our spiritual eyes and ears, that prevents us from receiving spiritual knowledge. Pride hardens our hearts and closes our eyes/ ears to the truth. The rod of discipline and correction are the means God uses to divorce us from our pride and rebellion. Brokenness comes through discipline.

True spiritual knowledge and intimacy with the Lord is only possible through brokenness. Only broken and humble people know the Lord in the Spirit; that is the people who have gone through discipline, people who have suffered in the flesh, and have embraced the cross allowing it to do its work in them.

Something that is explicit is expressed or shown clearly and openly, without any attempt to hide anything. It is something that is fully and clearly expressed or demonstrated; leaving nothing merely implied. I understood that morning that the Lord delights in us when we openly show and demonstrate such trust in Him.

Many Christians are being devoured by the spirit of poverty and they will continue to be devoured until they are delivered from wrong thinking. If the mind continues to house wrong thoughts our believing will be wrong and wrong believing will always produce wrong results. The domain in which we fight these battles and resist the devil is in the mind. This is where the greatest battles are won or lost. Poverty and insufficiency must be resisted first and foremost in the mind because the un- renewed mind not only gives access to this spirit but it also gives it a refuge.

In our teaching today we are going to deal with one part of the curse that we were freed from. That is the spirit of poverty and insufficiency. Poverty is a spirit; it has its roots in the spiritual realm but it manifests in the natural. We cannot fight poverty with natural means. We can't fight poverty by throwing money at it. We can only break the cycle of poverty through the knowledge of God and His word.

Jesus is The Open Door. However many believers don't fully enter in and refuse to participate with the Spirit in renewing their mind. Before we can experience any kind of breakthrough we must first experience a transformation in our minds.

God's divine and overcoming nature is not automatically imparted to us, but only as we partake of Him through the Word. As we abide in Christ through the new birth and as His Word abides in us, we overcome. He, Who overcomes, is the Word in us.
