Rockville Assembly of God

Whenever you attempt good change, you will face obstacles. One must be determined to overcome these obstacles. At time we need help overcoming obstacles. God offers help through His Word, His Presence and prayer.

Change is hard because it challenges our habits. We have good and bad memories of our past. Sometimes we get stuck in our past. TO move forward in live we must align our faith with our action to get on the path to change.

Change is the easiest thing to say to do, but can actually be one of the hardest things to accomplish. Real change takes commitment to undo bad hang ups or habits. Change is possible. God empowers people with the ability to overcome and change for the good.

If you don't row your boat in the ocean, the current will carry you where it wants. In life, if you have no compass, direction or purpose, you will carried away by various cultural currents. In the world of faith, if you don't stay on course with God there is a chance that your faith can drift.

Why does life seem unfair? Why do evil/bad people seem prosper? Why doesn't God answer all my questions?

God intends that your praying secures divine answers. God intends that your prayer life moves mountains. God intends that united prayer intercession to change whole nations.

Spiritual warfare can be like wrestling in that it demands constant awareness. It requires physical, mental and emotional conditioning. Spiritual warfare requires a higher level of spiritual fitness. God wants His followers to mature in faith and pray real prayers.

Fire can be productive or destructive. Fire has many good uses. Uncontained fire can be destructive. Contained fire is a great thing. A chimney is built to hold fire. Believers are built to hold the Fire of the Holy Spirit.

Abraham Lincoln lived a significant life. His life impacted those around him. King David served God's purpose in his generation. Every person has a God purpose for their generation. Are you living a significant life? God can help you to live out His significant purpose in your life.

We sometimes use ordinary as an excuse. We try to disqualify ourselves from God by saying we are just plain, ordinary people. We think He works through superstars alone. Actually God loves taking the ordinary and doing the extra-ordinary through it. He gives the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to help the ordinary become extra-ordinary.

At the Day of Pentecost, onlookers asked, "What does this mean?" after hearing the disciples of Jesus speaking in tongues. What that meant for that time was that the Church was born to help those out of darkness. What does this mean today? The same thing it meant for the Church when it was birthed at Pentecost.

The early church was threatened and told not to speak in Jesus name. What did they do? Did they comply or try to hide? No. They prayed. God answered their prayer and great things happened. God should be the first place we go when we are in need.

The Holy Spirit is God (included in the Trinity). Jesus said that the Spirit would come to guide, comfort, counsel and empower His followers. Listen to see how the Spirit can help you live a full life.

We hear the word "love" thrown around loosely in our culture. True love is more than a word. It involves action, devotion and commitment. Jesus asked Peter if he loved him. Jesus wanted proof and gave him what He was looking for. This Love test still holds true for those that claim to "Love Jesus."

Many wish they could go back and undo something in their life. Some things can't be undone. Jesus shows that He is Lord over life and death. He goes and undoes death and raises Lazarus from the grave. Jesus, the Grave Robber, can resurrect your situation, dream, relationships and life!

Sometimes things don't go as you hope or pray. God is in the business of making miracles out of seemingly hopeless situations. Imagine being born blind and then Jesus giving you sight? When God is in the picture, nothing is impossible.

Sometimes God does things that don't register with our logic, like walking on water. We either try to explain it away or deny it. Sometimes we must just embrace the mysterious power of God. Learn how to expect God's miraculous power in spite of your human limitations.

Jesus took two fish and five loaves and multiplied them to feed over 5000 people. He is Lord Algebra. He can take what little we have and multiply it into greater things. Lear how to let go of your little so God can make it great.
