In order to receive anything from God, we have to be bearing fruit. Bearing fruit is an absolute necessity for getting our prayers answered and seeing results! Every believer is supposed to live a life bearing fruit. In order to bear fruit, we must lean into times of pruning. Let’s take a look at this…
What is your mental image of yourself? How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself sick, weak, broke, poor, old with wrinkles? “Well, yea… that’s what I see in the mirror.” But that is not the real you (your spirit), it’s only a reflection. You have never seen your own face with your own…
We’ve discovered our imagination is the home of our dreams; the place where we create our destiny. Right there in the pictures of your mind. The Spirit guides us to think like God and the imagination brings the pictures to life. That’s why it’s very important we use our imagination with the mind of our…
Most people see the imagination as a negative thing such as make-believe or fantasy. We have discovered using our imagination is a good thing when used properly based on God’s Word. Today we will look at some Biblical examples of how people used their imaginations to receive from God. Mark 5:21-34 When Jesus had again…
We have discovered using our imagination is a good thing when used properly based on God’s Word. It was given to us by God; the ability to dream the desires of our heart. So we will look at how to use our imagination and how not to use it. Today we’re going to learn how…
Most people see the imagination as a negative thing such as make-believe or fantasy. The Bible has a lot to say about the imagination – the image you have on the inside. Proverbs 23:7a For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. (NKJ) 1 Chronicles 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou…
Scripture shows clearly we are called to be stewards. A steward is a manager. A manager looks after what he is put in charge of. Today we are going to look at everything we possess as a seed. Seeds come in all forms, but in this series we have been focusing on the seed of…
Stewards are not owners but managers. Once this is realized, it will change our attitude toward money. Prosperity is not greed. In fact, it is greed that keeps people from receiving teachings on prosperity. 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (KJV) Steward = Greek oikonomos (oy-kon-om’-os)…
We have been shown how to handle our wealth as stewards (managers) of what we’ve been given, not owners. We learn to manage what we have and build our treasure in heaven; eternal foundations. Putting this into practice, cycle’s money back into our hands to do over and over again. Let’s see how this works….
Stewards are not owners but managers. Once this is realized, it will change our attitude toward money and bring about a course correction in our giving. 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (KJV) Steward = Greek oikonomos (oy-kon-om’-os) the manager of a household, a guardian. A…
We will continue our study in the Word to understand how every believer is called to be a steward of his money. I used to make plans of what I would do with “my money.” But what does that mean? As a believer, money isn’t mine in the sense I own it; it’s mine in…
I don’t teach on healing so I can get healed. I’m already living in divine health. Likewise, I’m not teaching on giving so I can get, but for your benefit. Thinking you know all of this will not benefit you. If you think you’ve already arrived then you’re not going anywhere. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 Let…
The Bible tells us we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. How do we act and live righteously? By understanding what true righteousness is, and how true righteousness acts. Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5:14-21: 14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then…
This is not a list of options to choose from whenever you want. These are not fruits (as in different types) but fruit (singular) as a whole. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, self-control: against such there is no law. (NKJ) Are these…
We have been teaching on the power of prayer. How to have effective prayer and get our prayers answered. In order to do that, we have learned we must get our hearts right. We know our hearts constitute our mind, will and emotions. Our heart is the working center of our entire being. It controls…
Words have power. If you don’t believe that, then why speak at all? Do you consider a mute person to have a better, more productive life than you? No, we consider such a person as having a defect. The best way to control your words are by controlling your thoughts. Matthew 12:34 O generation of…
We have been teaching on having effective prayer. A prayer is only as effective as our hearts are toward God and others. Often our thoughts and attitudes have taken on a life of their own inside our mental world. We train ourselves to believe our own self-centered ways. Prayer should always begin with an evaluation…
Do you ever feel like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster? One day you’re on the mountain top believing there is nothing God won’t do for you and the next day wondering what will you do next? With your heart you believe but your mind keeps screaming, “yea, but…” Look at where you place most of…
As we continue our study into effective prayer, we have to peel the onions of our souls to find those beliefs, attitudes and thoughts that block our prayers. In order to get our prayers answered, we must be sure God is hearing us. How do we know God hears us? The Word tells us how…
The reason for unanswered prayer is not because God doesn’t want to give us what we want. He has already provided everything we need. WE block the provision from reaching us. What are some of those things that stop the flow of God’s resources to us? Not knowing who you are or what has already…
As we continue our study into effective prayer, we will look at the necessary character a believer must maintain in order for prayer to work. 1 Timothy 2: 1-6, 8: Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who…
To understand what true prayer is, we must rid ourselves of false notions and traditions. Prayer is not so you can tell uninformed God all about your problems. Matthew 6:7-8 And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard. 8 Do not…
Today we’re going to begin a study on prayer. Prayer is spoken of by believers often, yet do we really understand the significance of it; the value behind its potential? Do we understand the power a believing heart has before God; power to change our situations, live quiet and peaceable lives, be whole…
What we say matters because we speak the things we truly believe. Matthew 12:33-37 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for…
Today is Pentecost; 50 days since Jesus went to the cross. Through this study, after Jesus rose, He first appeared to the disciples, chastised them for their unbelief, showed them his hands and side, preached the Gospel opening their spiritual eyes to understand, and breathed on them to receive the Holy Spirit. They were “born…
At this point, the Disciples and 108 others were tarrying in the upper room waiting on the promise that was about to come. This experience changed their lives drastically. Acts 3:1-8 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man…
Today is 36 days since Jesus died on the cross. We saw Jesus appear to the disciples teaching them the Gospel after His resurrection. He told them beforehand He would be betrayed, killed and raised the third day. After He rose, He explained why He went to the cross. Today, we will review some, and…
Today is 21 days since Jesus died on the cross. Think about how things would be back then. Jesus would now be appearing to many disciples, not just the twelve, teaching them the Gospel of the kingdom. Today, we are going to look at some of the things Jesus taught the disciples before He went…
The main characteristics of this teaching are: God’s Word is a seed. You heart is the ground. Your harvest is dependent upon the preparedness of your heart. In the beginning, God created… the plants yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: And God…
Last week was the resurrection of our Lord Jesus (Feast of First Fruits). Today we will look at the events that followed the resurrection. Every believer should understand these events because Jesus commanded us to follow them. 1 Corinthians 15: 20-22: 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits…
