Fire on the Altar

Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Power- (in greek) dunamis: miraculous, power, might, strength, virture We know from the word dunamis we get the word dynamite. The Lord spoke clearly to me on five areas in the church. He was about to explode with His dunamis, dynamite, explosive, power. 1. The Holy Ghost is about to explode with His dunamis power the Box called religion and the traditions of men that the church has tried to contain Him in. 2. God is about to explode and destroy man's vision and ideas and strategies  and replace them with His vision, His plans, and His purpose. 3. Our understanding of the day and hour.  God is about to send forth men and women of God that have heard God in the secret place and come  out in a real understanding of the day and the hour in which we live and clear...

God forgives sin and brings refreshing through the Holy Spirit.... Acts 3:19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, Notice our responsibility in receiving forgiveness and refreshing. 1. Repent- which simply means to turn away from sin and turn to God. God gives rest to the weary.... Matthew 11:29-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Notice our responsibility in receiving the rest of God. 1. Come to Jesus. 2. Be yoked to Jesus. 3. Learn from me. Jesus removes guilt, shame condemnation.... Romans 8:1 There  is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Notice our responsibility in being free f...

The Church will move a city, a region, and a nation when we are properly representing Jesus Christ. (You gotta listen to the message to hear the analogy Pastor uses to highlight this point it is powerful) God is calling us to be moved out of religion and into being radical. Radical in our prayer, radical in our worship, radical in our serving, radical in our preaching, radical in our witnessing. Lord move me so I can move my city, region and nation in Jesus name! https://youtu.be/9_kOlK8pCBY

If we desire to experience peace we must encounter the One who gave His own life on the cross to purchase our peace, Jesus Christ. Jesus is, was and always will be the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).  He preached peace to all that were afar off and to those who were nigh (Ephesians 2:17).  He made and fulfilled His covenant promises of peace (Ezekiel 37:26; Ephesians 2:14, Hebrews 13:20, Isaiah 53:5) Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. The sum of all this is turn to and trust in Jesus. He can and will be the peace that guards, defends, and keeps you in and through everything you face in life. Romans 15:33 May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Don't be discouraged by all the hypocrisy in the world, and many times in the church. Rather allow it to propel you to the cross and never let go of Jesus. Man will fall and stumble and if your confidence is solely in them you will do the same. Commit and decide today to put your confidence in Jesus. He will never fail, forsake or leave you. He is not a man that He can lie, His promises and Word declare Him to be Faithful, True, and Righteous. Jesus loves and cares for you more than you can think or even imagine. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 1 John 1:5-9 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that ...

God can forgive you of your past sins whether they were a decade, year, month, week, day, hour, or one minute ago. Jesus loves you and will forgive your past, and transform your present when you turn to Him and call upon His name. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Lamentations 3:22-23 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Psalm 103:2-5 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things whic...

Eight completely random thoughts on life as a Christian.  God's desire and design is for us to be changed from glory to glory and experience spiritual growth through spending time reading and meditating on the Word of God. We must approach the Word of God with humility and reverence. We will NEVER experience spiritual growth and change from the Word of God while trying to prove ourselves right or disprove someone else. We must pray and ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate and reveal truth to our hearts. We must be careful not to mistaken a critical judgemental spirit for discernment. A critical judgemental spirit is a good sign that a Christian is lukewarm. Humility and repentance is the only cure for being lukewarm. We should always allow the Holy Spirit to lead us before attempting to lead someone else. We can never lead someone somewhere we have never been.
