Chad Jolley shares his testimony of salvation from Jesus and surrender to the Holy Spirit. He encourages us to be activated in our obedience and faith!

The New Testament assures us that Jesus is returning quickly. But there's nothing quick about 2000 years wait. What is God waiting on? Why does He tolerate all the sin and suffering of earth? Why does Christ not return to establish His Kingdom of justice and righteousness?

Isaiah 40:12–15 Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale? Who is able to advise the Spirit of the LORD? Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him? Has the LORD ever needed anyone’s advice? Does he need instruction about what is good? Did someone teach him what is right or show him the path of justice? No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand. Revelation 6:12–14 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky recede

1 Corinthians 11:1–2 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that you keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. Ephesians 6:1–3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

William Booth (1829-1912) once had a dream/vision in which he died and went to heaven, where he met glorified saints that he had known of on earth, and he appeared before Jesus Christ along with the great cloud of witnesses. What he felt and heard and learned in the dream that the Lord gave him is a parable of encouragement & warning to us all.

God is speaking - are you listening? Acts 2:17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” We were created for fellowship, communion, with God. Yet our Bible reading and prayer times are often more business than personal. Listen and receive some hints on how to keep your time with God relational and alive.

Isaiah 30:21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left. All real Christians want to obey and please the Lord, but it is difficult to discern His voice in the decisions and situations of daily life. Listen and learn how to judge what the Spirit is leading or saying.

The Bible says that God lives on Mt Zion, a heavenly mountain that is the city of God, the garden of the Lord. He tells us how to get there, and who can live with Him. Listen to hear the Scripture's description of the home of God and how we may come into His presence on His holy mountain.

Jacob did not own his faith until he wrestled with God at Penuel, where he saw God face to face. If you will go to Penuel at night, the place where you wrestle with God to find His blessing, you too will emerge in the morning with your own peace and faith.

We love to imagine great success and big dreams for our future; we love to call this faith. Most of what we fantasize about does not come true. And then God gets the blame - either for not making our fantasies come true, or for allowing the bad things that we didn't plan on. These false expectations of God end up damaging our actual faith, or possibly killing our relationship with Him altogether. Please listen as Pastor Mitch exposes nine false expectations that we buy into about God or ourselves.

The thief that is crucified with Jesus has perhaps the greatest faith in all the gospel accounts. Why? He saw something that even the disciples did not see. That Jesus truly is a King!

Are You All In? (with Becky Foster) by Pastor Mitch Coston

When Nehemiah carried a burden of fasting and prayer in his heart for his fellow Israelites in Jerusalem, God and the king promoted him to authority to go home and bring the solution to their distressed situation. If you have a burden of love to minister to a group of people, to the point of weeping and fasting for their salvation and freedom, God will promote you to authority to bring the solution that's in your heart.

The story of Queen Esther is a powerful model of Christ and His Bride, the Church. Listen and learn how much Jesus loves His Church, and how He has entrusted His authority and His Name to us.

Why does fasting add power to our prayers? What does it feel like to fast? How does skipping food create spiritual communion with God?

Matt. 25:40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

John 20:21-23 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

When Jesus told the story of the good Samaritan in Luke 10, He finished it with the statement, "Go and do likewise." What does that mean for us in our world?

Romans 8:16–17 (NKJV) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
