It is important that every born-again Believer understands God's prophetic ministry. Even Jesus Himself warned us that false prophets would appear in our midst. This second teaching on the subject (third of the series) completes the seven Biblical keys we can use to discern whether what is being uttered is prophetic and from God, or just the result of bad pizza from the night before...

There has been a significant amount of error regarding prophecy that has crept into the Church. Unfortunately, to avoid the “spooky” manifestations that many believers have been exposed to, the Church  tends to lock down in the opposite extreme when combating and eradicating it This lock-down is typically based in fear and ignorance of God’s prophetic ministry in our day. Fortunately, the Word of God gives us specific keys in which we can rightly discern true prophetic utterance from the false.

It is important that we humans understand that Almighty God still lives, breathes and sits high on the throne. As such, He may and still does use prophetic utterances to communicate His desires and will to those that are His own.

Faith is the lifestyle of choice in the Kingdom of God. It is the very key we need to seeing the manifestation of the things we believe God can and will work out in our lives. We use it like a carpenter uses a tool – to receive our salvation, our healing, our peace, our prosperity.

God has given every Believer authority over everything that He created. Sometimes, however, situations may arise that may seem overwhelming and overpowering. It is for these times that the Creator of heaven and earth has given us the ultimate back-up plan; put the full weight of the situation on His shoulders. Fear, worry, fretting only lead to more of the same… Not to mention that the Word of God gives us a clear indication that these things are sinful in the sight of an almighty God.

Jesus Himself defines those who properly go into the presence of God as “true worshipers”. . Worship is simply one way of demonstrating your (agape) love for Him. But worshiping and serving God deals with more than just singing praise songs. True worship is expressed by bowing down and laying aside your life, feelings and plans so that God’s life can be expressed through you.

There is a vital principle that Believers must engage in order to position themselves for God's perfecting work and provision in their lives. Believers must be in the place where God has called them to be. Total life prosperity is only for those who are properly positioned and are willing and obedient to follow God’s plan to the fullest. These are the Believers who will see Him perform mightily on their behalf.

Knowing that God wants what’s best for us is essential to the success of every born-again Believer. Subsequent, what you do every day in light of this understanding helps develop the habits in your life. These habits are based on the words you hear, your own thinking processes, even your emotions and actions. Whether good or bad, the habits you establish in your life will determine your level of success. To live in God's abundance, you have to develop good habits that are based on the Word of God. Additionally, you must do some practical things so that you can obtain God's promises.

There is a misconception in the body of Christ that the anointing is only available to what some have called the spiritual elite. First, God is no respecter of persons. Secondly, it (the anointing) is available to all born-again believers. The anointing is simply the power of God that flows out of the Holy Spirit into your born-again spirit. This power absolutely guarantees you the ability to get results and to do mighty exploits for the Kingdom of God.

The anointing, or divine enablement, removes burdens and destroys yokes. It enables people to do better in life than they could do in their own strength and ability. The anointing is a “performance enhancer” and is the master key to accomplishment and fulfillment in the life of every born-again Believer.

God has promised that the life of every born-again Believer is sealed with a future and a hope in Him. Unfortunately, too many CHRISTians are living in the past; a past wrought with unforgiveness toward others and self. The enemy of your soul would love to keep you trapped in the past, but the Word of God teaches us to MOVE ON toward the higher calling in life in God...

Every Believer should know that he or she is blessed of God. Sometimes, however, our actions give entrance to the curse being activated moreso than the blessing. Walking in the love of God and being obedient to His Word are key principles every born-again Believer must adhere to in order to see the blessing fully functional in his or her life.

The Feast of Tabernacles is the last of the seven seasonal feasts God required His people to observe. As we well know, the number seven has Biblical significance in that it represents completion. In the Feast of Tabernacles, Jehovah God signals to His people, and to the natural earth, that a season of rest (in Him) has come, preceded by a great and glorious celebration of God’s goodness.

Contrary to popular belief, the Kingdom of God is a real place. The Kingdom of God is real to born-again believers who are open and available to experience the spiritual and natural manifestations of God’s way of life, here in the earth. The success you experience in the earth is going to be determined, ultimately, according to whose prescription for  life you are willing to live by. .

The Day of Atonement was fulfilled in Jesus the Messiah at the cross on Calvary. The prophetic utterance by God to satan in the Garden of Eden became reality through the life, death and resurrection of the Christ (the Anointed One). Because of this, believers have been freed from the bondages of sin, and given opportunity and license to live life according to God’s original intent. The key, however, is true repentance.

The Feast of Trumpets is part of the seasonal Feast of Tabernacles. It is the last required of the feast seasons. The other moeds included in the Feast of Tabernacles are the Feast of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. Tabernacles marked the end of the harvest season. It was clearly a sign that both the land and the people were at rest. The specific teaching we should get out of this feast season is that God desired and desires for His covenant people to learn to rest in Him.

When Jesus walked the earth, He and His disciples needed the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Likewise today, CHRISTians must be filled with the Holy Spirit in order to turn the world upside down for Jesus Christ. The Power of God, as manifested and fulfilled in the Feast of Pentecost, is absolutely necessary, if we’re to fulfilled the great commission given by Christ Jesus to all His disciples.

Jehovah God not only wants us to experience the blessings of peace with Him and of Him, but He equally desires for us to walk in His Power, in the earth, in order for us to be bold witnesses for His Son, the Messiah Jesus. The Feast of Pentecost helps us understand how God intends for us to appropriate this Power, through His Son, Jesus.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread teaches us about the importance of separating ourselves from the things of this world. The Feast of Firstfruits then demonstrates to us what a life consecrated to God looks like, only being made possible by the sacrifice of the perfect Passover Lamb, Jesus. In the Church today, we have attached a varying number of scenarios in order to get people to understand the concept of firstfruits. If the born-again believer ever grabs hold of what Jehovah is endeavoring to teach us in this feast, he will then understand that he/she has assurance of eternal salvation (soteria) in Christ Jesus! It really is about the eternal life that begins the moment you say YES to Jesus…

For the Jewish people, the Feast of Unleavened Bread represented a set-apart time to remember when God separated them from a former life of bondage, oppression, sorrow and suffering, to a new life of fulfillment in Him. So what does this have to do with the born-again believer in Christ Jesus? Just listen in on today's teaching to find out more...

For the born-again believer, the Passover Feast represents a change in position with the living God. The perfect Passover Lamb, Jesus, justifies us before God by His shed blood. In so doing, God imputes the perfect righteousness of Jesus into the spiritual bank account of every believer.  During the Feast of Unleavened Bread, God uses that same sacrifice of Jesus to remind us of our deliverance from that old sin nature, and given opportunity to live a life pleasing to and full of promise in Him. This teaching represents the second of seven principles every born-again believer MUST practice in their walk with God.

The Passover season and its feasts were God’s “appointed times” (moeds) which He used to prepare His people for the coming Messiah. The season of Pesach (Passover) meant a special time of peace with God was manifested in the lives of His children. Today, the fulfillment of that peace (the manifestation of all God intended) is embodied in the life and resurrection of the Messiah Yeshua. This teaching represents the first of seven principles every born-again believer MUST practice in order to KNOW and WALK with God.

For centuries, there has been an unwillingness by the Church to teach and preach the whole counsel of God from the Word of God. This is particularly true when dealing with varying topics from the Old Testament. The Feasts of the Lord is one of those topics. Because many believe that those things were “under the law”, modern day Christians have “graced” themselves right out of one of the key elements in God’s plan of redemption for mankind. As we continue to walk-out the fullness of the lives we have been given, we must look to these elements first established (original intent) by God, our Creator, in the earth. One of these “first things” is an understanding of “God’s Appointed Times”.

Get wisdom and get understanding. The Word of God is clear on the subject. We pray for it; we hope earnestly for it; but at some point there has got to be evidence that we are walking in the wisdom of God for our lives.

Throughout the course of our daily lives, we have plenty of opportunity to make choices relative to our circumstances. Situational ethics is derived from having knowledge of a particular thing, and responding to it through fleshly emotions. This is a guaranteed formula for failure. Conversely, godly wisdom empowers the believer with the mind and heart of God, further enabling him/her to make choices based on the truths found in the Word of God. The final outcome in this situation always spells SUCCESS.

As someone who has submitted his/her life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, you will have plenty of opportunity to be challenged. However, when you overcome the challenge, and endure the persecution that will surely come, you will receive a reward in Heaven. The very Word of God declares that you are blessed when you are persecuted. You have willingly enlisted into the army of the Lord; part of your earthly  training will put you in a position  where you have are required to demonstrate the discipline of faith in order to possess a successful outcome…

I am amazed at how, with great eloquence and frequency, Christians are ever-ready to speak fear, doubt, and unbelief into their lives. I imagine the angels of God, that have been given charge over their lives, look to one another in disbelief and wonder if they are really to bring to pass what is being spoken. You have been given the authority to control your life through the power of the words you speak. Faith-filled words position you for wholeness, and all the blessings and promises of God Almighty.. Aligning your everyday speech with God’s Words will cause your life to undergo a massive, positive transformation, to your good and to the glory of God.

In this world, money is a deceptive representation of power and status. Natural, unsaved men and women will do anything to have it. But in these last days, and especially during this time of economic crisis in the land, God is out to prove that it is more PROFITABLE to serve Him. The greatest endeavor you could engage in at this hour is service to God.

Manipulation is a tactic that is used to control others; it is (simply put) witchcraft. Religion is a form of manipulation in that it attempts to control people by causing them to be afraid of God…

Discouraging news reports of recession and economic woes are a constant topic of discussion with the various media outlets and the informal gatherings around the office lunch table. All of this debate has one objective – to plant the fear of lack in the heart of born-again believers. Fear is contaminated faith and will create an access point for the enemy into your life. Overcome the fear of lack by refusing to receive any words that contradict what God's Word says about His promise of provision for you!

The Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ hallmarks one of the greatest miracles to be recorded throughout the history of man Today, Christians all over the world will acknowledge Christ’s victory over His enemies and the grave. But far more transpired on a day like today over two thousand years ago. God’s creation, man, was emancipated from the sentence of death he had received due to his disobedience in the Garden of Eden. At the very moment that life began to flow back into His body, Christ effectively brought mankind back, full-circle, to begin to walk out the Father’s original intent for His most cherished creation – us!

There is no sense of fear in the Presence of Almighty God. The "what-ifs" of life cease to exist. It is in His Presence that we find fullness of joy and, at His right hand, pleasures evermore!

People in the world often speak of having "common sense" to get something done. Common sense is defined as having the ability to know what to do in a particular situation. However, those of us who are of the household of God should learn to rely totally on the wisdom that is from above as we walk out this life on earth. Wisdom, as defined here, is the ability to know WHAT to do, HOW to do it, and WHEN to execute.

Jehovah God purposed from the beginning of time that His children would have dominion over the earth, and the "things" in it. The first 25 verses in the Book of Genesis gives us specific details of how He set everything up, creating using the Words of Life. Then, He created mankind to follow in His footsteps in the earth, and gave us faith-filled words to use to bring about the manifestation of His divine destiny, plans and purposes into our lives.

It is God's will for you to live a long, healthy and happy life on this side of glory; However, each of us in the earth have to do our part to remain until the fullness of days. This is why it is essential that we become mindful of our words and only speak those things that will contribute to long life. Truly, your mouth holds the key to covenant longevity.

A church is a group of believers in Jesus Christ, associated together, under Christ, for His purposes. Much that is considered essential, and even sacred, about church, is really just tradition. That does not make it bad; but some things may not be beneficial to proper spiritual growth…

You must be consecrated to God for kingdom principles to work effectively in your life. Consecration, or "setting yourself apart for God's use and purposes," is one element in the foundation of prosperity. You must remove all sin from your life in order for God to prosper you.

When you choose to hold on to unforgiveness toward others, you purposely place yourself in a position NOT to receive forgiveness and answered prayers from God. But when you follow the example of Christ Jesus and forgive others, no matter what the wrong was, God forgives you and cleanses you from unrighteousness so that you can escape the guilt, condemnation and fear associated with sin. It enables you to walk in your righteousness unhindered.

During the 50s, the popular television game show, “To Tell The Truth, pitted the real against the perceived. The basic premise of the show consisted of a panel of four celebrities correctly identifying a contestant (a "central character") from a choice of three possibilities; members of a "team of challengers." One of the contestants normally held an unusual occupation, or had done something noteworthy, and it is this person whom the panel had to attempt to identify. Two of the people would tell lies, while the real person had sworn "to tell the truth”… 

When Jesus began His earthly ministry, the Gospels tell us that He came preaching the Kingdom of God as defined in Luke 4:18. The Gospel, or the Good News, is intended to bring hope, encouragement and expectation to a people otherwise facing constant oppression from external forces. But Jesus spoke the language of the Kingdom of God, and without spiritual ears to hear, it is impossible to hear, and to be converted (to God’s way of thinking and living).

Breakthrough Success -- It means to experience success and prosperity in the midst of trials and challenges. It's where we (Believers) see the promises of God manifest in spite of current, natural circumstances.

The Bible makes this one thing very clear – how we choose to live in the earth, as sons/daughters of the Most High God – is up to us. God has created us in His image; Jesus has given us His authority and the power of His blood; the Holy Ghost is available to lead and guide us; and we have the Word of God to help us discern His will for our lives. Deuteronomy 8 is the believers’ Section 8 mandate for better living – it’s biblical welfare before welfare became an undesirable word.

This is a vitally important message. The current environment we are living in today is providing a prime opportunity for the body of Christ to rise up and demonstrate the power of Almighty God. Instead, we see churches in foreclosure and Christians turning inward to self-preservation and selfishness. Listen in on this important message and get your mind renewed...

Chief among this impressive list of personal attributes and abilities, Daniel is believed to possess an excellent spirit. What do we mean when we speak of ‘excellence’? Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines it as – a valuable quality; virtuous, esteemed; purity of heart; uprightness of mind; sincerity; strength; beauty; soundness; durable.

God has given the fivefold ministry gifts for the perfecting of the saints. One of the primary reasons people have not grown spiritually is they are not receiving the milk of God's Word. His Word is necessary for maturing in the things of God.

During this season of Christmas, our hearts and minds are typically focused on the images of the baby Jesus, wrapped in swaddling clothing, lying in a manger. And while this image in not incorrect, it is incomplete. You see, it is Jehovah God Who gave us the Christ child that we celebrate. God our Father gave us His greatest gift so that we could know with surety that He loves us. His love toward us was so great that God sent the Christ child  to reclaim His people and property and to set the course of man’s life back in line with God’s original intent.

Faith is the currency needed to see results in the Kingdom of God. In the midst of this country’s dire economic crisis, do not allow your emotions to rule. Instead, fight the good fight of faith. Stand on the Word of God and make it your final authority. Guard your heart and do not allow dread and evil reports dominate your thinking.

Part of the life agenda for every born-again believer should be to leave a legacy, a spiritual inheritance, that will affect the lives of others for an eternity. Listen to today's message to determine what you're leaving as a monument for people to remember...

Multitudes of angels have been assigned by God to carry out the terms of His covenant with you. They have been given the responsibility to minister to the heirs of salvation in the earth. Are your angels gainfully employed in the mission of assisting you becoming all that the Father has created you for?
