Run Into The Fire

“God is too good to be unkind. He is too wise to be confused. So if I can’t always trace His hand - I can always trust His heart” Charles Spurgeon

“If you want the fire of God, you must become the fuel of God” Tommy Tenney

“The fire doesn’t make you what you are; it reveals what you were” Jack Hyles Integrity

1 Cor 3:9-15 “The soul’s safety is in it’s heat.

Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a church without power. Destitute of the fire of God, nothing else counts; possessing fire, nothing else matters.” Sammuel Chadwick

Let It Burn

What is the motivation of my life? What moves me? Does the fire of God excite me or scare me? What am I actively doing to pursue God and His purposes in my life? Does the fire of God excite me or scare me? What is the Fire of God? The Fire of God is an expression of His love.

Why is there fire?

Ex 3:2-4 Acts 2:2-4

“Fire always falls on sacrifice” Bill Johnson

“The Church, for too long, has followed Casper the friendly ghost instead of seeking the fire of the Holy Spirit. We have turned limp at the thought of our own cross; we faint when we think of suffering or sacrifice. Beloved, it is time to embrace the fire of God’s presence. It is the fire that purifies our sacrifice” Pastor Francis Frangipane

1 Kings 18:20-40

That Was Then, This Is Now | A New Era

The time's have changed and there is no going back. It's not a new year, it's a new era. In the wake of large scale exposure and the shaking the church has experienced in this past season, God is inviting us to partner with His prophetic plan, and to see those things that have been promised for decades finally come to fruition.

Peace On Earth

How can we have peace on earth when its so full of unrest by nature? When Jesus showed up in Israel over 2000 years ago it might come as a surprise to find out someone else was vying for the title, "Prince of Peace." Who was the prince of peace, and what can we learn from the seeing how there is always a counterfeit to the things God does and the fruit He produces authentically through The Holy Spirit.

“Real PEACE is not situational - it’s internal”

Why Persecution Is Important

Why Persecution is Important for Refinement and to Open Opportunities. Pastor Darren Werk explains from the Word of God why we MUST endure persecution, and why persecution is an essential part of our refinement in faith, and how it is the key to open doors and opportunities that would otherwise never be opened to speak the truth of Jesus Christ and the saving message of the gospel to hearts and minds that would otherwise never hear it it.

King Of Kings

Thomas Aquinas was said to have come in before Pope Innocent II in the 11th century:

Entering the presence of Innocent II., before whom a large sum of money was spread out, the Pope observed, “You see, the Church is no longer in that age in which she said, ‘Silver and gold have I none.’”

—“True, holy father,” replied Aquinas; “neither can she any longer say to the lame, ‘Rise up and walk.’” Vide Acts iii. 2–8.

Our hearts are so easily seduced into love and pursuit of the world and its "stuff," and the cost of falling in love with the world is having lost the Kingdom of God and having love for The King of Heaven.

“A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to “accept” Christ without forsaking the world” A.W. Tozer

“If anyone insists on his own goodness and despises others…let him look into himself when this petition confronts him.

Fresh Bread

"Man does not live on bread alone, but every word that comes from the mouth of God."

Our Greatest Need Is Always Met When We Seek God First Jesus promised that we would never go without His presence. He said He was the true bread that came down from heaven. “No one can pray and worry at the same time. When we worry, we aren't praying. When we pray, we aren’t worrying.” Max Lucado Matt 6:25-27 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them." Matt 6:33-34 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." “ To fail to pray is to not merely Break some religious rule - it is failure to treat God as God. It is a sin against His glory” -Timothy Keller- Matt 6:9-13 "“This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ’ Matt 4:2-4 "After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Deut 8:2-18 "2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. 5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you. 6 Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him and revering him. 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills; 8 a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; 9 a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills. 10 When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. 12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, 13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 15 He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock. 16 He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you. 17 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. Jn 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Jn 1:14 "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." Jn 6:30-35 "So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'” Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.” Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." 4 - Part Meditation 1) Instruction 2) Praise 3) Repentance 4) Prayer
