It's Time to Dream Again (Part 2)

March 27, 2018 04:00 - 11 minutes - 5.46 MB

God gave you a mind inside of you to repaint your outside world. God gave you your imagination so that you can look at something other than your present circumstances. Your mind has two primary functions: memory and imagination. We use our memory to peer into the past and draw conclusions. We use our imagination to look into the future, and envision outcomes. Suffice it to say, Satan wants you to use your memory to demoralize you, and your imagination to cause you to worry. God wants to us...

The Purpose of Consequences

March 23, 2018 04:00 - 11 minutes - 5.22 MB

Consequences play a big role when you are setting boundaries. When you look at most co-dependent people, one person jumps off the top of a building, but another person is the one who crashes into the ground. In other words, one person is engaged in inappropriate behavior, and another person is paying the consequences for that behavior. The purpose of consequences is so that the offending person is obligated to learn that there is a sowing and reaping process. We live in a day and age where p...

Relational Relief

March 22, 2018 04:00 - 9 minutes - 4.39 MB

One of my favorite portions of scripture is 1 Peter 4:10 “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” This verse tells us that we are called to be God in the flesh to people. If you are like me, you have had seasons where you just could not sense God’s presence. It is at these times that we need to leverage the body of Christ. Most people try to heal in isolation, meaning they do not share their challenges with fellow believers....

Internal Promised Land (Part 4)

March 21, 2018 04:00 - 10 minutes - 4.72 MB

Most of us are familiar with the migration of the Children of Israel in the Old Testament as they went from Egypt through the wilderness into Canaan. We refer to Canaan as the “Promised Land“—the culmination of all of God’s promises. There is an internal Promised Land that we should be experiencing and enjoying right now while we wait for the manifestation of the external one. I want to look at two passages of scripture: Romans 14:17-18 “For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but ...

Explanatory Style (Part 4)

March 15, 2018 04:00 - 12 minutes - 5.8 MB

Your explanatory style is simply how you explain events in your life back to yourself. You could also call it your inner dialogue. Behavioral psychologists tell us that 95% of our emotions are based on what we say to ourselves. This is why it is so critical that we engage in the discipline of talking to ourselves. Listening to yourself is passive. Speaking to yourself is active. The enemy wants you to listen to his lies. God wants you to rehearse the truth. The word introspection means to lo...

The Value of Healthy Relationships (Part 4)

March 09, 2018 05:00 - 14 minutes - 6.71 MB

As I study the bible, one of the things that's crystal clear is that God wants us to have healthy relationships. I'm very concerned when I encounter Christians who have a “me and my bible doctrine.” In other words, they think that the only thing they need to live the victorious Christian life is their bible, and the notes that they've taken in church. In my judgment this is very dangerous and is counter to how God designed us to live the Christian life. God uses other believers in a variety o...

Expediency Factor (Part 4)

March 02, 2018 05:00 - 13 minutes - 6.29 MB

Life is a constant battle between engaging in activities that are tension relieving vs. goal achieving. Self-discipline is the only counterforce to the Expediency Factor--in other words, doing things that are easy or expedient versus things that may appear to be difficult but that are essential and very important. Self-discipline is a Fruit of the Spirit. The simplest definition of discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it--whether ...

The Wilderness (Part 10)

October 28, 2016 04:00 - 9 minutes - 4.23 MB

There are similarities between the spiritual growth of born-again Christians and the migration experienced by the Children of Israel. The Children of Israel went from being slaves in Egypt to the Promised Land by way of the wilderness. It was one thing to get them out of Egypt, but it was a whole different ball game to get Egypt out of the Children of Israel. Most of us have learned that just because we are born again, it doesn't mean we're experiencing the Promise Land. Join us as we unpack...

Lessons from a Star (Part 21)

October 14, 2016 04:00 - 9 minutes - 4.49 MB

What made Esther a Star? She was a woman who recognized a defining moment. She understood the power of favor and respect, and the importance of having a teachable spirit. Like Esther, we must discern the things that God uses to prepare us for our defining moment. Discipline, timing, and specificity are crucial when the stakes are high in our life. We cannot allow one negative emotion to go unchecked as it will hinder us from receiving all that God has for us.
