Metro Life Church Podcast

God is able to deliver you from any attack of the enemy. You must determine to not magnify the image of fear, and fix your eyes on the promise of God. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how when you stir up the fire of God in you, He will combat fear and help you stand throughout any attack. The moment the fire of God is stirred up on the inside of you, it will light you up and ignite something in your life. Every time you pray, worship, read God’s Word and build up your spirit – you are training yourself for what’s ahead. Poor training produces poor results when opposition comes. You must not neglect the Holy Spirit in your life, so you can be prepared when the attack comes.

Over the next few weeks Pastor Caleb Moran will discuss the fire of God associated with the Holy Spirit and how it effects our lives. This fire has a purpose in the life of every believer. The fire of God is meant to burn inside and outside every believer. If you will allow the fire of God to burn inside of you, He will allow it to burn outside of you. When we as children of God receive the fire of the Holy Spirit, we now have the power to change things from the inside out. First it changes you on the inside; then it empowers you to change the outside.

In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran discusses how faithful God has been to Metro Life Church over the past eight years both, as a church, and as individuals. This is not only your year to arise but it is also your year to breakout and breakthrough! In the 60th chapter of Isaiah it says "Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you". We believe in 2017, God's glory will be seen upon you. It's time to arise!

God desires for all of His children to prosper and to be a carrier of His glory. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how we must be willing to let God shine His glory on and through us. Seeing His glory in your life requires your faith. God not only desires for you to carry His glory, He needs for you to do it in order to advance His kingdom. As we believe that God has destined for us to walk in glory, by faith we will step into His plan and His glory will shine upon our lives.

God wants His glory to shine on your life. The glory is simply defined as: God’s manifested presence. Last week Pastor Caleb Moran discussed that there is nothing that God can't bring you out of. In fact, any situation that you are facing today God can turn it around for your good. This week Pastor Caleb digs a little deeper as he discusses that there is nothing that God can't bring you into. In order to rise higher with God, you’re going to have to remove limitations. The Holy Spirit will take you places that you cannot take yourself. What is limiting you from rising higher? When you take the limits off, God, through the help of the Holy Spirit, will elevate you higher than before and shine His glory upon your life to reach your fullest potential.

Sometimes in life we feel knocked down, let down, brought down - or just simply down. No matter what it looks like, it’s not what it seems; God has a plan in the midst of your problem. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how God desires to shine His glory upon your life this year.

Many people aren’t aware that God has plans for them. Although we may have our own set of plans – ideas and personal goals or dreams for our life God has His plans. We need to not only be aware of His plans, but follow them as well. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how God is pleased when we walk in His way. He knows not only what is best for you, but what is blessed for you. We must make sure we are not only who and what God wants us to be, but where God wants us to be also. If you will stay the course and follow His path, He will surely bless you.

In this message, Pastor Caleb talks about how prosperity is God’s design and His plan from the beginning of creation. We must understand the purpose for prosperity and learn how to steward it. Prosperity is not just a dollar amount either; it too is a mindset. Wrong mindsets are what hold us back from God’s best in our lives. If we refuse to think lack, talk lack, or accept lack, and confess daily that the blessing of the Lord is upon our life, then God’s blessing will be upon us to live in abundance as He uses us to bless others.

God designed the family, and He works within His design to continue His promise to His children. Our Father God is all about the family - He designed it. He has a family business that He desires to pass down to each generation. We are children of God – blessed with a covenant blessing that He swore to our ancestors He would honor. The blessing is not only transferable – it’s recognizable. Your children should see the blessing on you and desire it for themselves. When we as parents walk in the blessing, we leave a path for the legacy to continue through the next generation.

Have you ever seen a billboard that says, “Your Ad Here”? They are advertising to you that you can advertise with them. Advertisement is the number one way people buy into a product, service, idea, event, etc. God has an advertising platform that not many of His children are aware of. You are a walking billboard for God to advertise His blessing to the world. You should wake up every day and tell God, “Your Ad Here! You can use me as advertisement today.”

All throughout the bible we see God turning times of challenge and despair into times of joy and victory. For every attack of the enemy, there is a counter response from God. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran talks about how what satan meant to take you out, God will use to lift you up. You may be in a season of difficulty and challenge, but it won’t last forever. There is a turnaround coming. If He did it for someone else, He’ll do it for you. IT’S YOUR TURN!

We have all heard the story of the Cross at Calvary- The Death, Burial, and Resurrection. In this week’s message Pastor Caleb Moran focuses not just on the event, but on what happened as a result of the event. The Apostle Paul had an amazing revelation of what happened through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. All throughout Paul’s letters he refers to us, the church, as the Body of Christ. If we are his body, we not only died and were buried with Christ; we were raised to life in Christ as well – obtaining the same authority and power that He obtained. All power, all authority, complete victory is within His body- The Church.

We often focus on the death and the resurrection part of Christ – quickly skipping over the burial part of the redemption story. We almost consider the burial to be thrown in with His death. All three stages are important to the believer; and need to be talked about to fully understand what happened and how it pertains to our lives. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran discusses how the burial was the proof that Jesus did in fact die, therefore His resurrection could be possible to fulfill the scriptures. Through the death and burial of Jesus, we were granted a new and living way – free from the law of sin and death. What’s been buried must stay buried. You are no longer a slave to sin, you are free to live this new life in Christ!

Everyone likes a great story that begins with the phrase, “Once upon a time”. The story of Jesus is the greatest story ever told. When Paul first established the church at Corinth, the cornerstone of his preaching was the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Here is our “once upon a time...” story. Anytime we face a challenge in life we can always refer to the redemptive story of Christ. When you think about the cross, who do you see hanging there? Of course, we all see Jesus at first glance, but there is another person on the cross with Him – you! What is the benefit of sharing Christ’s death? He was our substitute. He took upon Himself our sins and died in our place obtaining eternal redemption. Jesus loves you so much that He was willing to die for you. I’d say that makes you kind of a big deal!

It’s been said, “Don’t ask God to guide your steps if you’re not willing to move your feet.” So many people want more, they just don’t want to pursue it by faith. We must understand that faith is not an idea; it is a lifestyle in which we are to live that requires corresponding action to the Word of God. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran disucsses how faith is to be active; it is to be doing something. Although our steps may be ordered, they aren’t forced – and no one can walk them for you. No matter what life has done to you, shake it off, and DON’T STOP MOVING! Take a step of faith and keep stepping until you reach His promise.

We’ve all experienced the highs and lows of life; and we all prefer the highs. In this message, Pastor Caleb Moran discusses how life was not meant to be lived by hype, adrenaline, or by what satisfies us the most. Life was created to be lived by faith.You have never truly lived until you have had to trust God 100% in a situation. No matter what you are facing today, YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!
