POPULARITY
A Balanced Understanding of Biblical Anointing In this teaching, we confront the growing misuse of the term “anointing” in modern charismatic/Pentecostal circles. Many have equated anointing with emotional experiences or mystical feelings, but the Bible paints a different picture- one centered on Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and grounded in truth and mission. We unpack key Scriptures- Isaiah 61:1- 2, Luke 4:18-19, Acts 10:38 - to clarify that the anointing is not a transferable “force” or atmosphere, but the divine empowerment for ministry rooted in God's calling and purpose. We also expose common false teachings that turn the anointing into a spiritual hierarchy or subjective feeling. You'll learn: • What the Bible really teaches about the anointing • Why the modern "felt presence" doctrine is dangerous • How all believers share in the true anointing through union with Christ • How the gospel, not mystical power, sets people free. Let's return to a Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, and Scripture-driven understanding of the anointing. 25 Days of Spiritual Growth Devotional (PDF Download)https://member.bulldozerfaith.com/product/25-days-of-spiritual-growth-devotional/

We are all scared of something, but God provides comfort, strength, and something better than even a security blanket. Scriptures: Isaiah 9:2-7; Luke 2:1-20
By Caleb Wheatley The prophet Isaiah prophesied of a king who would be from a miraculous birth and who would bring peace and wholeness to all. Matthew reiterates this at the beginning of his Gospel. Two different sides of a promise. Let's dive in and explore this together, Jesus is Immanuel, God with us.Scriptures - Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:24, Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 28:20
Continuing through the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, we come to one of the most important passages in the Scriptures- Isaiah's vision, calling, and mission. Here, we see the holiness of our God and that His reign is without comparison. We also see the need for justification if we are to stand before our holy God. Finally, we will consider the mission which is given to this great prophet and that it comports with the revelation of the first five chapters of this Book.

Scriptures: Isaiah 2:1-11, Matthew 5:1-12 Melissa continues her sermon series, Hope in a Time of Fear, focusing on the book of Isaiah. As we're drawing closer to the election, what does hope look like for followers of Jesus? The people who heard Jesus' sermon on the mount may have been thinking about Isaiah's words when they heard Jesus speak. They had been crushed beneath the heels of a Roman occupation. And here, at this moment, when all hope is lost, the word of God is born into the world. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. This is not the way it is in our world. The merciful are crushed by political pressures that announce being soft on crime. The pure in heart are taken advantage of and accused of being naïve. The poor face a crisis of debt and eviction. The meek are cast aside for faith and weapons. And yet, we hear in Isaiah: They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up nation, sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. A seemingly impossible scenario to ever occur. But the impossible is where we as followers of Jesus make our home. Take heart. Have no fear. Jesus is Lord!

When two nations united to attempt an attack on Judah, the hearts of the king and his people "shook as the trees of the forest shake from the wind." But God called the two threatening nations "two stumps of smoldering logs." The God of the universe is intimidated by NOTHING and wants us to trust Him and remain in His peace even if earth shakes beneath us (Psalm 46). If your heart is trembling today, then join us for a message of hope!

Defining God is an impossible task. Scripture reveals many of His attributes and His nature. Here we want to discus three aspects of His character. God cannot act contrary to these, and they have always been behind everything which God has done or said. God is holy. God is love. God is good. We should be thankful that He is.

Hey Good People! I pray this episode and the Scriptures bless you as you go throughout your week. This episode is vulnerable, I may or may not have cried while praying lol. Many of us struggle to see God as our Father and come to Him because of the fatherly or familial relationships we've had or seen. My prayer is that you take time to pray for God to change your heart and show you who He is. My prayer is that you remember that God is unlike any man you've ever known. He doesn't disappoint, lie, forget, cheat, or abandon. He loves you and He wants to be close to you because He made you.Scriptures:Isaiah 64:7 – “Yet, Lord, you are our father; we are the clay and you our potter: we are all the work of your hand.”Ezekiel 36:26-27 - And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.
