The creator of the universe has a desire to be your friend! He cares about what YOU care about, and He wants to confide in you. Just let that sink in. There's really no better position to be in. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Appetite is a mark of health. In fact, lack of appetite is one of the biggest indicators of sickness. As much as it's true in the physical, it's probably MORE true in the spiritual. The Word of God says that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. That's two separate things. One of the ways that we're fearfully made, is that we can reassign hunger to get through things. We can begin to feed our God-given needs in superficial, unhealthy ways. The strategy of the enemy is to reassign our appetites so that we're hungry for things we're not made for, and we can have appetite priority problems.Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Read the whole Gospel of John in one sitting.

It is our calling to be aware of two realms, to be reaching into the spiritual realm and bringing what's declared into THIS realm. "Your kingdom come, your will be done..."How? We bring it. We do it. HE PUT HIS NAME ON US. In the Bible, places are named for Him after intimate encounter with Him. We have to remember our encounters with Him. We have to be aware that WE are His named places.

We have to have an awareness that we are ever in the presence of God. As the body of Christ, we exist in a dual reality. If we're going to be a people that is positioned for God to have His way, our preference has to be for His preference and not our own. We have to position ourselves in the reality that He is the One who KNOWS what brings our identity into focus and our soul into VIVID COLOR!

If we follow Him because of what He does, and not because of WHO HE IS... That doesn't lead to life. He loves us too much to let us do that. Fa is following Him even when we don't understand what He is doing, because we KNOW who He is; He is GOOD. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Lord has plans for you that are FAR BEYOND what you're capable of. When God speaks a calling over your life, it can FEEL risky to step out in that, but HE GOES WITH YOU. You can accomplish impossible things because of His presence. Who are you to do these things? You are the carrier of the weight of His GLORY.

We ask God that He would make us into a body that are loving each other so well and that are in such great unity in His name, that His Spirit is completely FREE to release the will of Heaven to the people next to us. Together we are building Him a reputation of LOVE. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Familiarity is one of the biggest barriers to the activity of the Spirit in the body of Christ. Who is the person you are most familiar with? Are you more surprised when God acts in a mighty way for the profit of all through you? Or are you more shocked when he doesn't? Sometimes we have more fear of our own ability to screw it up than we have faith in the Holy Spirit to provide for the profit of all. In the name of Jesus, CAN WE STOP THAT NOW?

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to His disciples said, "take and eat; this is my body." -Matthew 26:26For no one hates his own flesh, but rather nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ does the Church, because we are members of His body. -Ephesians 5:29-30When you talk about His table, you're talking about the body of Christ - the Church. They can't be separated. When you talk about the Body of Christ, you are talking about His table - the table of plenty, the table of unity, the table of freedom. No "sinventory" required.

It's Testimony Tuesday! What better way to top off Pastor Paul's sermon series on stewarding testimony? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Saul slaughtered Christians daily, and was still called by God to mighty things. He became Paul and ended up writing half the Bible. When he first repented, his Christian brothers and sisters were skeptical of his discipleship. But Barnabus spoke on his behalf. We need each other. We need Barnabus-es to speak up when we as a Church are not moving where God is moving. If you've been hesitating in your calling because you feel like you're "bad" or just not good ENOUGH... today is a great day to stop rejecting and start rejoicing. There is NOTHING in you or your circumstances that is beyond God's ability or desire to redeem it, and we need you. The body of Christ needs YOU.

Love for the "other" is what moves heaven for the Kingdom to break out. It's not enough to have a testimony. You have to wield it in a spirit of obedience. We must be ever ready to operate in the faith of what God's done for us. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Testimony is not just a story. Testimony is the power of God for the will of Heaven to begin to come, to happen on the earth. There is no victory without an atmosphere of obedience and letting the testimony go in front. When it moves, we move. If we're going to participate in the Spirit in any real way, testimony has to be out in front. You carry that testimony. That is your primary charge as a holy priesthood and a spiritual house. Steward the Testimony! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Testimony- the knowledge of a God who's capable and loves us enough to make things happen in the natural- is a WEAPON. It releases the power of Heaven for us. It advances the Kingdom through us. We need testimony in order to have the FAITH that obtains. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
