World Harvest Worship Center

In this message, we're challenged to examine our love for God and how it manifests in our daily lives. The central theme revolves around Jesus' teaching in Matthew 22:35-40, where He emphasizes the greatest commandments: loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. This scripture serves as a foundation for our entire faith journey. We're encouraged to reflect on areas in our lives where we might have inadvertently placed idols before God - whether it's our jobs, possessions, or even family. The story of King Josiah from 2 Chronicles 34 is used to illustrate how we can purge our lives of anything that doesn't align with God's will. This message challenges us to take a spiritual inventory, asking the Holy Spirit to spotlight areas where we need to surrender more fully to God. By doing so, we can cultivate a deeper, more authentic relationship with our Creator and experience the peace and victory that comes from truly putting God first in all aspects of our lives.

Are we building our lives on a firm foundation? This powerful message challenges us to examine the roots of our faith, drawing inspiration from Colossians 2:6-7. We're called to be 'rooted and built up' in Christ, establishing ourselves firmly in our beliefs. The story of the wise and foolish builders from Luke 6 reminds us that a house - our life - built on rock withstands the storms, while one on sand crumbles. This isn't just about surviving trials; it's about thriving in our walk with God. We're encouraged to see our faith as a growing, living thing - like the roots of a mighty oak tree, constantly deepening and expanding. How can we apply this? By regulating our lives in union with Christ, overflowing with gratitude, and standing firm on God's promises. It's time to stop letting life's challenges shake us and instead root ourselves so deeply in Christ that we become unshakeable.

In our spiritual journey, we're called to walk a path of worship - not just through song, but through our entire lives. The key scripture, Proverbs 3:5-6, reminds us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. This isn't just about blind faith; it's about cultivating a deep, abiding relationship with God that permeates every aspect of our being. We're challenged to present ourselves as 'living sacrifices,' an interesting paradox that speaks to dying to our old selves while being fully alive in Christ. This walk of worship isn't easy - we're in a constant spiritual battle against principalities and powers. But by renewing our minds and taking every thought captive, we can resist the enemy's schemes and grow deeper in our faith. The message urges us to examine our lives: Are we truly walking in worship, or merely giving lip service? It's a call to radical commitment, to loving God with everything we have, and to allowing that love to transform how we interact with the world around us.

In this powerful message, we're called to 'rise up' and shine as believers in a world filled with darkness. The central scripture, Isaiah 60:1-3, reminds us that even as darkness covers the earth, the Lord's glory will arise upon us. This isn't just about passive faith, but about actively standing up for our beliefs and letting God's light shine through us. The message draws a fascinating parallel between Elijah's showdown with the prophets of Baal and our own spiritual battles today. Just as Elijah rebuilt the altar before God's fire fell, we too are encouraged to rebuild our spiritual altars, allowing God's transforming fire to consume our lives. This isn't always an easy or quick process, but it's essential for our spiritual growth. We're challenged to make Christ first in every area of our lives, from our daily interactions to our deepest struggles. The message urges us to hunger and thirst for righteousness, to be 'combustible material' ready for God's fire. It's a call to move beyond complacency and to fully commit ourselves to God's purpose, even when it means facing our deepest-rooted issues.

In the this year of Awakening, one aspect of this awakening will be Restoration. There will be restoration in the believers lives, their relationships with the Lord, restoration of those things the enemy has tried to steal! There will be a restoration of reverence for The Lord and His Holiness and Righteousness in the Body of Christ and the World!

When we give our lives to Christ we become new creations, old things pass away, all things become new. We get a fresh start on life. This is great news. Our lives with Christ after that becomes a journey. During this journey the old ways, or "Old Man" will try to return in our lives. During this journey into the newness of life with Christ we must not just Talk the Talk of being a Christian, but we must Walk The Walk leaving the old man and our ways behind. The great news is we do not have to do this alone, Jesus is with us and walks with us! Walk The Walk!!
