Scriptures to Reference: Philippians 1:6 (KJV, ESV, NLT); Philippians 2:5-11 Topic: God's word stands and it will come to pass Description: No matter what it looks like right now, God is at work even when you don't see him working.  You will make it regardless of the obstacles or challenges you face.  Whenever Jesus starts a work he is known to finish everything he starts.  Who can stop God when he is at work.  Your faith will be tested, but God always finish what he started no matter how it looks.  Some people go through a little bit more than others because they were given a little more responsibility than someone else.  The enemy's job is to try to see if you will really stand under pressure.  God is at work in you and he WILL finish what he started.

Scriptures to Reference: Judges 2:1-23 Topic: God's covenant Description: No matter how challenging your situation looks right now, God will never break His covenant with you. Whatever it takes to bring it to pass. Whatever it takes to deliver you. Whatever it takes to bring you out of what you are dealing with or to transform you. God will never break His covenant with you. God wants you to follow Him whole heartedly. Greater is coming because of the covenant of God. God is going to do it! Do not settle yet rest in your super abundance. 

Scriptures to reference: Ephesians 2:4-6; Ephesians 1:3; Luke 10:19; Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:12-18 Topic: Victory Description: It is important to know where you are seated as a child of God. You are seated in a place of authority by Christ Jesus. God has decided that those who are saved have a seat IN heavenly places IN Christ. God has placed you in a place of authority because the church is NOT defeated! The people perish over lack of knowledge. Do not be ignorant of the things in God's word that gives you the victory. Shift your mindset to know that you are not defeated, yet are victorious. The church is not trying to overcome the demonic world, we have already overcome. The Lord Jesus has ALL power!  

Scriptures to reference: Genesis 1:11; Genesis 26:4; Galatians 3:16; Isaiah 61:3 Topic: Growth of a seed Description: From the beginning of time Jesus uses the basic concept of seeds to describe growth.  He uses the process of the growth of a seed into a plant, hence ultimately growing into a tree.  Jesus speaks about 2 types of people in the church, the wheat and the tares that grow together.  Jesus doesn't want them to be plucked out or separated, but wants the harvest to do the separation in due season.  God refers to you and I as that seed... a seed that is planted for growth.

Scriptures to reference: Psalm 27:1; Psalm 36:9; 1 John 1:5; Revelation 22:5 Topic: Believing  Description: What happens when God volunteer you for a blessing you are not qualified for?  No one even knew David's name, yet God chose him.  Even when we don't believe, God can not deny himself.  God does not back down on a promise because you don't believe.  God declares, prepares and then you walk in it.  What happens when God wants to bless you with more than you think you have?

Scriptures to reference: Acts 13:1-4; Matthew 6:9 Topic: Ministering unto the Lord   Description: It is important to minister unto God.  God benefits and we benefit from the relationship.  When Jesus was upon the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights, afterwards the angels came and ministered unto Him.  The people were fasting and praying and when they began to minister unto the Lord he began to give them instruction on something they had been looking for an answer to.  Jesus gave us a type of prayer in a manner in which we should pray.  Before putting in a request to God we should exalt Him first, then put in the petition and end with praise.  This is the pattern in which we ought to be praying.  Relationship makes prayer, praise and worship easy.  Your praise should never stem from your situation.

Scriptures to reference: Acts 13:1-2 Topic: Ministering unto the Lord   Description: Ministering unto the Lord goes into prayer of praise, thanksgiving and worship.  When we come to church the minister, preacher or teacher ministers onto us.  We are always ministering to one another and this is good as well.  However, when do we minister unto the Lord.  When we petition unto God, we are asking Him to change some things because God will change His mind for you.  Instead of coming to pray or petition God to do something for us, give Him something we know he loves.  Minister unto Him in praise, worship and thanksgiving.  The first church at Antioch were on one accord by ministering and fasting unto the Lord.  They asked for nothing, they knew that fasting is not necessarily ministering, but submission unto God as a prayer of submission and consecration unto God.  The people gave God the highest type of prayer praise and worship.

Scriptures to reference: 2 Timothy 1:6; 2 Timothy 1:8 Topic: The word is not bound, God our restorer Description: The word of God is not bound, but is free.  We all suffer through some things in life before we reign.  Timothy is being encouraged by his spiritual father Paul to know/remember that God is a restorer.  We have power on the inside that we aren't aware of.

Scriptures to reference: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; John 8:36; Ephesians 2:1-2 Topic: Our position in Christ Description: We have an adversary who goes around seeking whom he can devour.  He tries to control the minds of the people or plant seeds to directly disobey God in order to cut off their blessings.  We have weapons to battle the imaginations and the knowledge that tries to bring us down, we cant use flesh to fight this warfare.  The devil is realizing he is running out of time. We are in a REAL battle.  As Jesus the carpenter is working on us.. there is no change.  We walk in a carnal state and think we are going to heaven.  If the devil can have us to doubt the power we have, who will pick up that mantel?  God has given us amazing power to cast out devils and heal the sick among many other weapons.  God doesn't want performance he wants change.

Scriptures to reference: Proverbs 13:15; Matthew 24:12; 1 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 3:12 Topic: The state of "Offense" Description: In the last days many will be offended.  Offended at God, offended by people, of themselves, of their lives, storms and even tribulations.  God says to take notes because sometimes when we get messages of preparation and asking big, we fail to see that the enemy see we are getting an abundance of blessings and we allow the little foxes to spoil the vine.  We are not watching and praying so we are easily offended.  Offended because someone didn't come through for us or offended by what was said to or about us.  Offense will keep you out of the kingdom.  Good understanding brings favor, but when we turn from God it gets HARD.  Your love for God will wax cold due to the iniquity that abounds... take notes.  Don't let offense take root in YOUR heart.

Scriptures to reference: Genesis 26:12-14, Ephesians 3:20, Revelation 3:8, Exodus 3:8, Numbers 13:27, Deuteronomy 8:8, Jeremiah 2:7, 2 Chronicles 9:20 Topic: What happens when you know you are created but don't know why Description: You cant ask BIG if your preparation is small.  What you go through in your walk is not to bring blessings, but to build character for the blessings.  Understand that God has already brag on you to the enemy.  Whatever you are asking God for, look for it NOW not tomorrow, not next week or later.  It's all according to your belief.  Oftentimes, we can have a thought and God will simply do it.  Nothing can happen if you are not believing or expecting.  If you think small you will act small.  Be consistent in your desires and wants, confess what you are expecting.      

Scriptures to reference: Genesis 1:1-11 Topic: Speaking in Faith Description: It takes faith to believe, we must profess or confess in order to possess.  From the beginning God has been "saying" something.  Speaking always follow believing.  God has spoken provision for us ahead of time and it has already been given to us.  We must profess or confess what we believe or know that we already have for the release of the possession.  Plant seeds in your life that will resemble the word of God and confess... then just thank Him because you already have it!  

Scriptures to reference: Romans 10:8-9 Topic: Faith Description: Everything in the word of God is hinged on faith.  We can not receive what God has for us without faith.  We were saved by faith, we should walk by faith, we should live by faith and it is impossible to please God without faith.  Faith works for healing, finances and any other arena in your life.  Faith can not increase without the word of God.  Faith without confession will never work.  With my confession comes possession; therefore what I confess I possess. 

Scriptures to reference: John 16:1-3; John 16:5-7; John 12-13 Topic: Revelation through the Holy Spirit Description: There is something much greater than what we have seen.  The Holy Spirit is coming with the full manifestation of what is to come.  The disciples were upset because Jesus was leaving, but Jesus had to leave for the hour of the Holy Spirit to come.  The closer you get to God you begin to realize how big, how great and even how vast in his revelation God is.  As a man thinketh in his heart so is he... so if you think you are defeated you are, if you think you are victorious you are.  If you KNOW this is your time, "Your Hour Has Come".
