When you dwell in the Lord, and let Him dwell you will be safe.  Even though others fall around you, you will remain standing.  God just wants your heart, and then He will have your life.  Ask God, "Is there anything I need to change in my life?" Then through your daily praise, you make your heart a place God wants to be.

Even though thousands fall around us, when we are close to God we will not fall.  We do not have to be afraid, when we are in close relationship with God. The Spirit of God will direct us in our lives and keep us safe.  Dare to believe God and respond to His will for your life. He is faithful!

Don't let your evil desires and temptations, pull you away from God. Run to God because of who He is , and what He does. Stay close enough to the Lord that His wings will cover you, so that you are safe.  And then you will not be afraid of anything in your future. 

“Mother’s Day @ Living Waters Church with Machelle Perry, Special Guest”.

It is important what we say, and the way we speak over our own lives.  We need to say about God, who He is, and who He promised to be. That is the place of confidence and peace.  He is our shelter and our fortress - we can trust Him!  

Psalms 91 is a promise to us about God's protection and safety. But we need to get to that secret place, that shelter God has prepared for us.  We do that by seeking the presence of the Lord, and going to this place daily, so we can face the difficulties in life. 

Jesus was became the snake that was lifted up on the pole by the Israelites in the desert.  Jesus became sin and the curse of sickness on the cross for us, so that we can be righteous and healed - by faith.  We just need to look at Jesus, boldly ask God for His presence and power, and receive our healing. 

Jesus rose again from the grave on the third day, just like He said that He would. Jesus is now King of kings! And He has been given all authority, and then He gave us that authority in HIs Name. And at the Name of Jesus, healing belongs to us.  

Jesus was the Word who was with God, then He came to heal us.  And when we paise Him, our praise will release the power of God, that will break off the chains of sickness in our lives.  There is healing power in the praise of God's people, who believe that Jesus is the healer!  God is so good to us! 

God can heal out of His Sovereign Love that He has for us.  But we do not need to wait for God to move that way, to receive our miracle.  We can receive any of the promises of God by faith.  Through our obedience, to do what God asks of us, we can have god's best in our lives, because Jesus is our Healer!

When you are in faith, you will have joy and peace in your heart.  And once you stand in faith for your healing, you need to put the Word of God in your mouth.  You need to speak what you believe. Like the woman who had bleeding in her body for 12 years - Jesus said, "Daughter, your faith has healed you!".

Jesus is our Healer, so don't ever let the devil lie to you and tell you that this is "your sickness".  If Jesus already took it, you do not need to carry it.  But we need to keep our faith and spirit fit and strong to receive from Him.  Find the promises of the Lord, it will be like medicine and health to you every day.  

Jesus has provided healing for us, at the same time He provided forgiveness of sin.  We can he healed through the authority of His Name.  We can boldly speak to sickness and disease, and it must leave our bodies -- In Jesus Name!  His name is above any sickness.  Jesus is our Healer! 

Jesus is our Healer! On the cross He became a curse for our sin and sickness, so we can be righteous and healthy.  Don't be confused at where sickness comes from - sickness is not from God, it is from the devil.  Healing power flows from God, through Jesus who paid the price for us.  

In your relationship with God, yesterday and today are connected - learn from it.  Today and tomorrow are connected - train for it.  And what you believe will rule your life.  Do all you can to keep your relationship with the Lord fresh every day. 

Someone was your connection to a relationship with the Lord, and you can be the connection for someone else to have a relationship with Jesus.  We have influence over people God has placed in our lives, and you can be used to introduce them the the One who has changed your life.  Just be led, be real, and let God use you.  

In our relationship with God, there are so many blessings. But He will also give us victory and favor to keep us on course and help us through life. The Lord will protect you and hold you through the difficulties of life.  God turns the difficult and bad things - into good things and blessing. 

In your relationship with the Lord, as a believer you are joined to Him by His Spirit in you. And in our daily prayers and talking to God, it is important that we pray with faith - believing that God will do what He promised! Just be yourself when you talk to God, lift your hands and connect to His power! 

In your relationship with the Lord, our Almighty God, is something we need in our life.  And it was actually good that Jesus went away, because He sent the Holy Spirit to us, to be our help in life and prayer.  And the gift of the Holy Spirit in you, will even give you a heavenly language, where you can speak directly to God and pray His perfect will.  

A vital part to keep any relationship strong and growing, is communication.  And when you talk to the Lord daily in prayer, it strengthen your relationship with Him. And a powerful way to experience Him is in times of prayer.  You can pray His will for your life, by praying the promises in His Word. 

Growing in faith is an important part in your Christian life, but what you believe can also strengthens your relationship with Jesus.  Believing God's promises in the Bible, and understanding you have a connection with Jesus, will change you.  Like a branch connected to the vine, life flows to us when we are connected to Jesus.  

One of the most important things to understand in your Christian walk, is that God wants relationship with YOU!  The love of God is more than you could ever understand, but something that we can receive daily.  And spending time with the Lord, will cause our relationship with Him to become more-and-more real and intimate. 

God is with you and will love you in and through the difficulties in life, and you will be able to shine in life.  Even when others turn on you, if you will trust the Lord, He will bring you out to a better place.  His love is supernatural, and all we need to have success in life.  Manuel and Evelin share their stories on how God's love brought them through difficult times, to reach happiness and success.

Jesus is our Chief Shepherd. But His plan was to have under-shepherds to care for us, these are the pastors of His church. We all belong to Jesus, but the Lord has given us pastors with loving hearts, like God's heart.  They represent God to us, by showing us His love, teaching us, and help to guide our lives. A pastor's main responsibility is to lead you to a stronger relationship with Jesus.  

Jesus came as our Lamb, so that He could become our Shepherd.  The angels appeared first to the Bethlehem shepherds, the ones who watched over the sacrificial lambs for the temple in Jerusalem, to tell them about the birth of our Savior. And we celebrate Jesus, because He is our hope for today - and for our future. 

The Lord is your shepherd who will reward you, so you can feast even when the enemy is near.  And your shepherd will anoint you with the Holy Spirit oil, and He will give you the ability to do what you are called to do for Jesus.  When you seek His presence, you will have His anointing each day.  

Even though you will walk into some  dark times in your life, if you are following Jesus, you will get through to something good.  But you need to know the the Lord is with you, and He will protect you and guide you in your life. Jesus is the good shepherd who will speak to you, and you can know HIs voice so that you can follow Him.  

Most of the time, there are things you need to DO, to get God's blessings in your life. But for todays teaching, this is something you just need to KNOW.  You need to know the it is the Lord who restores your soul.  And when you have fallen, Jesus will be there to pick you up, and put you on your feet again.  He refreshes, revives, energizes, and restores - your soul. 

It is important that you know, "The Lord is MY shepherd!" We need to have that personal connection, knowing that He is with us in our lives, and that he loves us, and watches over us, and provides for us.  When you are confident that Jesus is your shepherd, you will find rest for your soul.

If the Lord is my shepherd, I have all that I need!  This needs to be our focus when thinking about our finances.  Just as Jesus provided for the multitudes with a miracle from a boy's lunch - Jesus will miraculously provide for you.  If you get involved in God's distribution to others in your finances, He will abundantly provide for you.  

The Lord is our shepherd, and He is all that we need!  We are like sheep, and we need a Shepherd in this life.  He is our guide, provider, protector, rewarder.  Look to Him as your Shepherd, and He will be all you need.  Turn to Him daily and say - Lord, you are my Shepherd! 

To get to a better place in life, we need to think right.  It is our choice what we think on, and the attitude we have going into each day with.  And if your thought-life is not stable, then your faith can never be stable.  Here are some biblical steps to apply in our life, to keep our thinking right. 

Prayer is vital for us to live a better life.  And prayer should be fun and easy for us to do.  Pastor Barry teaches us some mindsets, and promises from the Bible, to stand upon.  When we pray out God's plan for our lives, in a Biblical way, we will see God move in our lives.  

It is important that we have margin in every area of out lives - time, emotions, health, finances.  More margin, less pressure - less margin, more pressure.  Having margin in finances will take away the pressures of life that are pushed on us.  Do not let the power of money rule you, you can chose to put God first, and you will go to better. 

The anointing of God is supernatural help that comes on you to do what you are called to do.  From our every day duties, to serving Jesus - the anointing is the ability to do it better.  And Jesus said the anointing we have is the same anointing He had, so the church can do what He did when He was here.  Draw on the anointing, expect it, and you will always have it.  

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us as the greatest gift to help us through life, He called Him our Comforter.  We should not be unconfortable with the Comforter, He is our helper.  Believers have the Holy Spirit in them, and He is the power of God to help us go to a better life.  Being full is better, so be filled!  

There are 2 guarantees in life - 1. Tough times will come.  2. God is with you. You need to know that when difficulties come, it is part of life.  But God is with you to get you through to a place of blessing where things are better.  We have guidance from God's Word to be a success in all that we do.  

God will break the rules for you to prosper in your life. As Jesus told Peter to go fish to get the coin to pay his taxes, you just go do what you know to do.  God promises to bless the work of your hand, and He will take care of you.  

Jesus has already broken the rules for us to receive health and healing.  Just as Jesus showed healing and forgiveness were available in His ministry - salvation and health have been given to you today.  Jesus purchased both of them, at the same time, on the cross.  We can receive with bold confident faith. 

Your faith will put you in position for God to be able to show up for you, break the rules for you, and use you.  David was a young man who had bold courageous faith.  The kind of faith that caused others around him to eventually believe for the impossible.  Whatever giants you face in your life today, speak to them in faith, and go do what the Lord leads you to do.  Victory will be yours! 

Never let go of the dreams God gives to you, no matter how bad things might seem to you in the moment.  We see Joseph kept his relationship strong with the Lord, no matter how bad things git in the natural.  And the Lord continued to make him a success.  But sometimes can't fulfill God's plan for you, the way things are in your life now.  We might need to break up with some things, so we can get our breakthrough in life. Then God can be a rule breaker for you too.  

Even when things do not seem possible, God can do what is impossible for us.  Abraham and Sarah had a baby together, way past age to have children. Our faith activates the power of God in a way that will make exceptions for us.  God will break the rules for you - if you believe.  

When you stand for your God, even when tested and tempted, God will stand up for you.  Sometimes the Lord will keep you from the fire, but other times the Lord will go with you into the fire and protect you. You will make it where others couldn't, and you will not even smell like smoke. When God makes exceptions for you, He will use you to share the goodness of Jesus with others. 

When you become a person who makes prayer, your relationship with God, a priority, God will break the rules for you.  And when you daily put the Lord first, you will never have to fear when things come against you.  Like Daniel, even though others wanted to kill him, the Lord stood with Daniel, and the lions never touched him. Your God can break the rules and keep you safe.  

God is a rule breaker, and loves to break the rules in your life.  He will do this to show you how much He loves you.  God's unexplainable peace, the undeserved favor of the Lord, and His amazing grace - are rule breakers in our lives.  Expect God to make exceptions for you and when He does let God use you!

We have a responsibility to go out and make a difference in our lives, to the people around us.  Jesus encouraged us to go compel and urge people to "come", so that His house is filled.  You represent Jesus, tell them your story, and invite them to church.  This is to be done with love, as we show love to others and tell them about Jesus.  

Hello Everyone Today on the podcast we welcome back Drew Berryessa! In this episode, Noelle and Drew discuss the challenges of being a Christian and accepting the LGBTQ community. Noelle shares her concerns about Christians who claim to be about love but then hate the LGBTQ community. Drew shares his personal story of struggling with his sexuality and how he found transformation through following Jesus. They discuss the concept of change versus cure and the importance of surrendering to Jesus. Noelle questions the compelling nature of the gospel and why someone would choose to deny themselves for a belief in an invisible God. In this conversation, Drew Berryessa shares his personal journey of surrendering his life to God and finding compelling reasons to follow Jesus. He emphasizes the importance of encountering Christians who demonstrate the love and character of God. Drew also highlights the power of love and acceptance in drawing people to God, and the need for Christians to prioritize relationship over winning arguments. He discusses the biblical perspective on sexuality, emphasizing the importance of understanding God's intention for sexuality and the consequences of sin. Finally, Drew reflects on the significance of restoration and authenticity in his faith journey. We hope you enjoy today's episode!   About Drew  In 1996, Drew surrendered his sexuality to the Lordship of Christ, leaving behind a homosexual relationship. Drew chose to trust Christ with his future, believing that the Word of God was trustworthy and that Christ would be faithful to give him a life worth living outside of a homosexual identity or relationship. This surrender began a process of transformation and healing confronting the issues of same-sex attraction and overall relational dysfunction in his life. Drew began full-time ministry to the sexually and relationally broken in 2004, joining the staff of Portland Fellowship, a para-church discipleship ministry in Portland, OR. Drew spent ten years in ministry there, ending his time as the Assistant Director to found A Living Letter Ministries in 2015. Drew's life and testimony stand in stark contrast to the current cultural narrative about sexual identity, demonstrating instead what Christ can do for a sexually broken life submitted to His Lordship. With the current shifts in ideology regarding sexuality, identity, gender, and God's transformative power, Drew's ministry, experience, and insight stand as a redemptive voice of truth to the body of Christ. Drew is a graduate of Multnomah Bible College, holding a Bachelor's Degree in Ministry and Leadership. In addition to being the Founder and Director of A Living Letter Ministries, Drew serves as a Teaching and Counseling Pastor at Living Waters Church in Medford, OR. Drew released his first book, Are We There Yet? in 2018, adding author to his list of accomplishments. Of all the roles and titles he carries, his most prized titles are that of husband and father. Drew and his wife Suzanne have been married since 2004 and together they have the joy of raising their three daughters. - - - - -  We would love to thank our Patrons for all their amazing support!
