I Am A House Of Prayer

Everyone is called to pray. The Holy Spirit is drawing the church into a revelation of the necessity of prayer. Serving the Lord begins with prayer. Jesus' only time becoming outwardly aggressive was in correction of the people around Him was when He saw the money changers selling in the temple. He said, "is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer," but you have made it a den of thieves." He also made it clear that the temple would no longer be a place built by human hands, but would once again become the bodies of those who put their trust in God through the revelation of Jesus Christ. So now we are the house of God, we are the house of prayer. It is time for us to understand that prayer is not for a select few, but everyone is called to pray, and that no move of God comes into the earth now without the body of Christ interceding and thriving in communication with God through prayer. Some wonder, "why pray if God has already decided everything?" The reality is that God has decided to entrust MUCH to His people, His church, and He has delegated authority to the body of Christ which is empowered by prayer and co laboring with Him to SEE his perfect will done. If it weren't so, it never would have been written, "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Why pray if God has a plan? Because His plan to forgive, to heal, and to restore is released through His people when they pray.

Don't Freak Out!

Our assignment is with the Lord. If we are only looking at what is happening in the world we will quickly become overwhelmed, but if we keep ourselves fixed on why God has us hear in the first place, we can carry the answer to the problem. 

Power Up

When we operate on low power, we find ourselves overburdened with "urgent tasks" but missing what is important, and inevitably end up asking ourselves, "Why Can't I Dream Anymore?"  This message, POWER UP | Pastor Charlotte Quist,  targets the problem of being busy but not fruitful and the danger of losing our God given dream or dreams for the sake of what society considers urgent. Why can't we dream anymore? Because we are opperating in an emergency "power saving" mode with limited functionality which doesn't include being inspired, finding our anchor in God's presence, and allowing the dream giver to impart life to us. You can't dream when you are overwhelmed and in low power mode.

Double Double | The God Who Restores and Redeems

In a season that seems to have taken much from many, Pastor Charlotte reminds us that God has a history of using these kinds of situations to refine us in soul and spirit, and on the other side, His restoration and redemption leaves us better then when we started. 

The Power Of "Thank You"

The Lord promises to guard our hearts and minds as we submit everything to Him with prayer and THANKSGIVING. It is incredible how much power is encapsulated in our expression of gratitude toward God.

Here In The MIddle

What do we do when we are in the middle of where God brought us from, and where He promises to take us? Pastor Charlotte gives a powerful exhortation from the Word of God on how to navigate the in between. 

You Are The Keeper Of Your Flame

No one can take responsibility for the gifts and calling of God, and for the vitality of your relationship together with Him, accept for you. He has already made Himself completely available to us through Jesus, but it is up to us to grow in relationship with the Holy Spirit, and to fan to flame the gift of God which is in us.

Power To Change

In a time of crisis and enflamed hatred, the solution is no different then it was 2000 years ago: Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to give us POWER to change, power to be free internally from presuppositions about ourselves and others, power to love with the love of God, power to overcome evil with good, power to bear witness of the death and resurrection of the One and Only Prince of Peace. There is no place for racism in the church. God does not condone prejudice or racism of any kind, but proves the complete opposite as Jesus' death and resurrection, and the ensuing release of the Holy Spirit is revealed to be a gift for every kind of person, male and female, young and old, gentile or jew, without discrimination regarding race or social class. Be empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT to love without prejudice. Be filled with the power of God to CHANGE from a nasty, self-righteous, judgmental, wretch, to a son or daughter of the Most High God, abounding in love and grace, effecting real change in yourself and in the world around you.

Don't Stop!

Right now the message is clear, "Don't Stop." There is a reason why you need to take courage while you are trusting God to make a way in 2020. Listen to this powerful message from Pastor Charlotte Quist detailing how God uses scary situations and seemingly unfavourable circumstances to deliver you from the enemy and bring you into all He has promised. Sometimes the biggest threat to your destiny in God is your own ability to stay attached to your old life, and to stay stuck in patterns of slavery to sin. Using the example of the Israelites in the old testament, Pastor Charlotte explains how God can use an impossible situation, being trapped between the walls of a mountain, with the enemy army behind, and an impassable sea before, to not only show Himself strong in your life, but destroy the ability of the enemy to continue to torment and imprison/enslave you when you come into the promise land. KEEP GOING in the direction God has told you and when it seems like all is lost, get ready to see a move of God that will transform your situation and lay a foundation for the new season, new promise, and all the inheritance He has predestined for you as His child.
