Victory Hope Centre featuring speaker Harry Engel
When Jesus walked on the earth, he did nothing as God. Everything he did he did it as a man filled with the Holy Spirit and faith. One of the reasons he did this was so that we mere humans could follow his example and do what he did. So how did Jesus work his faith? Join us as we take a look at the faith of Jesus
We live in a broken world where offences are unavoidable. However, although we cannot stop offences from coming, we do have a choice of whether we hold on to them or not. What will it cost you to forgive? The real question is what will it cost you to hang on to offence and unforgiveness? Because that is a price that you cannot afford!
Biblical faith is not hard. Religion has made it hard. But true faith is easy enough for a child to understand. So why do we struggle with faith so much? Could it be that we have not understood the connection between the heart and mouth? Biblical faith requires both the heart and the mouth. Listen in and understand how the heart and mouth work together in true faith.
Faith. A must-have if we are going to have a meaningful, productive relationship with God. Something that was designed to be simple and powerful, yet something that many find hard and ineffective. How do you know you are in faith? What are the signs to look for to help you know you are walking in biblical faith? Join us as we answer these and other questions relating to faith.
The Apostle Paul gives us clear teaching on what is required for us to be saved. Those important instructions are found in Romans 10:9-10. Listen in as we explore and get a better grasp and understanding in what the Apostle Paul was trying to teach us regarding this important subject.
Did you know that you have more than one body? The apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15 that there is a physical body and a spiritual body. And just as the physical body has senses, so also does the spiritual body. However, for most people, their spiritual senses are extremely underdeveloped. But Hebrews tells us that those spiritual senses can be developed. How? the same way our physical senses are developed: by exercising them. It is time to develop our spiritual senses!
The journey of faith is one of learning to open up our heart and trust. However, for many this is a difficult journey because we have, from a young age, been trained to be suspicious. It's time break free from that so that we can truly enjoy the life God has for us.
We Many desire to have the "abundant life" that Jesus said He came to give but it seems that it is always just out of reach. We cry out and beg God earnestly for this "fullness" but it seems that the harder we try and the more we ask God, the farther this "fullness' seems to be. Why is that? How do we actually get this fullness of life? The key is a shift in our thinking. A small shift that will have Huge impact. Listen in to this important message and begin to finally experience the abundant, full life that you have sought after for so long!
Holy Spirit is a most precious gift that the Father has given us. And like any valuable gift, we must treat Him with great care and respect, while at the same time not shying away from Him in fear. A fear inspired by the many lies of the enemy, designed to keep us distant from Holy Spirit and His power. Listen in as we shed a little light on who the Holy Spirit is .
Join us today as we get a glimpse of the fierceness of God's heart in defending His children. He truly is for you!
Are you tired of being knocked down, oppressed and living in defeat? If Jesus conquered death, hell and the devil, why aren't we seeing that victory? Why is the enemy continuing to steal, kill and destroy if Jesus has defeated him? The answer lies with us. Although Jesus won the victory, it's not automatic. It will require us to "PUT OUR FOOT DOWN". Listen in as we unpack this phrase and give you keys to unlock the victory that has already been won for you!
Have you heard this phrase: "You are the sum of your experiences"? Is that really true? For many, Their experience is the final authority and what they believe the most.

There's something more trustworthy and than your experience. Listen in and be both challenged and encouraged by this timely word.
We have an enemy and we are in a fierce battle. Fortunately, God has provided us with an armor to protect us and enable us to win. It is our responsibility, however to put on that armor.

However, there are 2 key ingredients that are necessary steps to take that will make it all work as is should. with out these two ingredeints, the armor won't do it's intended job. Listen in and find out what these 2 key ingredeints are.
Ephesians 5:13-14 talks about the power of light to expose what is hidden. There are many things that are hidden from us. This is going to be a year of God turning on the lights and bringing exposure. But before you get spooked and nervous, the exposure that's coming is Not what you think it is. It's actually something really good that we are in desperate need of. Listen in and find out what areas God is bringing exposure to.

Emotions. God's gift to us to help us connect with Him and with each other. We need them! However, for many in the church, emotions are seen in a negative way with the resulting consequence of "stuffing them" or putting a lid on them to keep them in check. It's time to take the lid off and allow those God-given emotions to surface!
God is rising up to rescue His children just as He did when He delivered them out of the hand of pharaoh, king of Egypt. Be encouraged because this is a year of vindication!

What are the implications? If we really understand what that means we will be greatly encouraged and at peace! Listen in and find out what it means for you that you have been purchased by Jesus.
God wants all of us to be fruitful and to be victorious! However, the way God often moves us forward looks so different than the way we thinks it should happen. Often the way forward seems to be backward. Jesus gave us a key in John 15 that will help gain understanding to God's process so that we can stop resisting it but rather co-operate and actually move forward. Listen in and find out.
Many want God to do "big" things in their lives, yet that never materializes because of this one thing: they haven't learned to see and appreciate the "small". Often, the "big" move of God begins with something small and insignificant, so small that if you're not paying attention, you will miss it. So, if you want "big" learn to see and embrace "small".

As we take time to remember our veterans on this Remembrance day, we are also reminded of the One who made the ultimate sacrifice needed to rescue us from the grip of sin: Jesus Christ our Lord. Peter says that Jesus' sacrifice was an example for us to follow, But we have a conflict, because our flesh does not want to sacrifice. So how do come to this place of sacrifice? What empowered Jesus to sacrifice for us is the same that will empower us to sacrifice for him. Listen in and find out what that power is.
Pillars are extremely important. Buildings stand or fall on the strength of their pillars. We each have pillars that "support" our life. Take those pillars away and your life falls apart.

Listen in as we discuss a better way. You don't have to work and scream so hard to get God's attention.

Now, that's a BIG reason for us to give thanks. Join us as we explore what that means and its implication for us today.
Many want to see God's miraculous power breakthrough in their lives but are unwilling to do that which positions them to receive what God wants to do. Ps 50:23 is clear that we offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, we position ourselves to see God's salvation (healing, deliverance, etc.) Listen in and get in position.
What if I told you that God is not as angry at your sin as you are? What if you are making a bigger deal of your sin than God is? What if I told you that this is actually part of the Gospel message?

Why did God tell Moses to build a tabernacle? One reason: so God could dwell among His people! That desire has never changed! He is still seeking a house that He can dwell in.

Listen in and find out what God is looking for from us to be able to build Him a place He can call "home".
