We need to put on the armor that the Lord gave us, so we can stand against anything that satan throws at us.

God always acts in accordance with His own perfect and holy character. It's not just about following a set of rules, but about God being perfectly aligned with His own divine nature, which is the standard of what is right and just. In essence, God is righteous because He is righteousness.

First church covered is the Church of Ephesus. They were doing MOST things right, but forgot their first love. The love of Christ.

The goodness of God has always been there, even in the beginning. Even when Adam and Eve messed up, God didn't leave them in their mess. He covered them by animal skins. When we mess up, go back to God and let his grace cover you.

The grace of God is efficient for us because he Loved us so much even when we have sinned and done wrong. He forgave us of our sin because of Grace!

From the beginning we were meant to be princes, and princesses. But we were stripped from that when mankind fell. We are supposed to have dominion, but we became slaves to sin. God is going to restore our dominion one day....

Through out the bible, God has shown us mercy. Mercy is when we are given what we don't deserve. The ark was God's mercy in the old testament. The cross was God's mercy in the new testament.

3 distinct parts in the way God calls you. 1st, what is God calling you to. 2nd: how is God calling you. 3rd: when is that calling going to be fulfilled? To answer that calling, begin by being available and to serve without being seen.

God has called everyone to be a disciple. A lot of times we think the calling of God is preaching, or being a missionary or something of that sort. But that's not always the case. More often then not God is calling us to reach that person you standing next to...

The love of God goes deeper than we can fathom or understand. We think that once we mess up that God doesn't want anything else to do with us. That is far from the truth. God's love covers a multitude of sins.

God wants us to turn back to Him. He doesn't want us to dwell in sin. When not if, but when we mess up we need to turn back to God.

Have your eyes and heart open to signs and direction for Gods calling in your life.

Dance out of your issue in worship!

God is holy. Sin cannot dwell in the presence of God. God is so holy and pure that no living human being can see the face of God. And since God is holy, He has some things on earth holy including His people.

In the past few weeks, we have learned how God speaks. It starts with His word, the man of God, the spirit of God, and this week, He uses His people. Sometimes people will say something that strikes a chord with you and they don't even know your situation, but God knows.

God wants to cover us with his glory again and again after we sin. We can always come back to God and he will cover our guilt and shame.

God never changes, he is an unchangeable God. Things are all always changing but God never changes. We get into these routines and when they get disrupted things get out of wack, but God never changes.

In the bible wells were a source of water. Sometimes wells need to be redug. Sometimes new wells had to be dug up. In our generation today, we need to redig the wells that our elders put in place. Not redefine what was already dug up...

The church started with God who came down as Jesus. He passed the mantle to His disciples. They preached the salvation message. That mantle has been passed to us today and it is our mission to preach the same gospel to the lost.

You don't have to live in the whatever grave has you bound. You are not defined by your mistakes. God has delivered you and has set you free. So get up out of that grave.

This weeks lesson was about God's omnipresence. He is the only one that can be every where all at once. He knows and declares the beginning and the end. He is the author and finisher of our faith. Put your trust in Him today. It is not to late.

Listen to the voice of God. Do not be deceived by the voices of people around you, the world, or your own flesh.

In the older times, a kings robe showed his greatness by how long his robe was. In the bible, it says that God's train fills the temple. Which means there is no measure to God's greatness. No matter how many times you mess up, God's greatness is greater than you sin.

The attributes of God are incomparable to ours. God is eternal and we are bound by time. Before time God was.....

The Lord is to wonderful even when we fail the Lord is always there and his grace is always enough. we must learn to put our trust and faith in God.

Sometimes you have to hear the advice that you don't want, but that you need. Don't let pride get in the way of what God has planned.

We have created the biggest divide with God, and that is with our sin. Sin separates us from God. But God can close that gap if we ask for forgiveness.

When we think all is lost, there is no hope, there is no way out, God will show up and wow you in ways that you can't explain, if you just trust in Him.

The Lord says to love your enemies at all time, don't go looking to get revenge against anyone but to love them and to forgive them when they done us wrong.

A lot of the times the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart. We try to focus on the things that we can control saying that we could do better in this area. In actuality we need to take the matter to Jesus and let Him handle it.

This week in the Seven series is to pray No. When we pray we need to say no to things that our flesh desires and say no to the kingdom of darkness. But then we need to say Yes to God and his Kingdom.

We can be offensive with our tongue but God would want us to speak peace and uplifting words instead of tearing people down even if we are speaking truth.

I Call Him Savior

The 5th installment of the seven series of prayer is Sorry. We mess up many times through day or even the week. We need to learn to come to God when we mess up and ask God for forgiveness, not run from Him...and we also need to forgive others.

Next part in this lesson is Enough. Jesus is enough for us in this world. We will never get enough of what our soul doesn't want. The world promotes a lot of things and it will never be enough, But with Jesus we have enough

When you get offended from the ministry, check them to make sure they are in the word.

Have you had a let down recently? Have you had a big disappointment. Maybe it's time to stop looking at your failures and disappointments and give it to Jesus. Allow Jesus to bring joy back into your life.

There are prayers that can help us with our walk with God, praying the word can help us to overcome anything.

God is one, God is love and devine healing.

Today is Palm Sunday where Jesus came into Bethany riding on a colt, a week later He was crucified by the same people that claimed Him as King. Jesus was and is king. But He laid that crown down and died on the cross for you, so you can live in eternity with Him if you obey His commandments.

Because of God.

Offense comes in many forms. Probably the most dreadful and the most hurtful offense is betrayal. Jesus even dealt with betrayal. The best way to deal with betrayal and offense is take it to Jesus.

Don't give up and don't quit!

Last week we talked about the first part of the Lord's prayer is about help. This week is about Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving will change your prayer and attitude. Just give God thanks even for the little things.

Perception is not reality. Just because you see something one way, doesn't mean that is what is really going on. Perception is how we see things. Reality is what actually is happening...

Don't wait to get your breakthrough you can get it today.

Seven. There are seven times that Jesus said "I am".... Jesus was basically was saying that He is the answer to everything. There are certain ways to pray that will help us in our lives.

Look at the story of Jesus and Barabbas and Pilate.

What are these 3? Faith, hope and charity (love). These are the dimensions that God has give us on this earth to operate in. You want to be closer to God. Use these 3 things on a regular basis.

Restoration of the favour of God to sinners that repent and put their trust in the expiatory death of Christ.

Jesus or Barabbas? Which one will you chose? The ways of the flesh can be put in place of Barabbas. So which one will you choose Jesus or your flesh?
