What took place at the cross? What’s the importance of the blood covenant? Pastor Dale explains the three things that took place on the cross: 1) Jesus paid the price for our sins. 2) He bore our sicknesses and pains. 3) Jesus made the blood covenant between God and man. Listen to the description of a blood covenant.
3 Things That Happen On The Cross
Rightousness Confidence
Texts: Prov. 28:1 ff, II Cor. 5:16, Rom. 1:16, Rom. 5:17, Is. 54:11-17. Pastor Bob uses the Word to show us who we are in Christ and to activate us in our hearts to abide in Christ because we’re united with Him and to be established in righteousness (be in a place beyond doubt). Then we will be far from oppression, shall not fear, not have terror coming near us, and be positioned for reigning and ruling.
Prepare Yourself For Increase
Luke 12:35ff. Ben Stoltzfus preaches on increase- in wisdom, anointing, presence of God, whatever you need. We must prepare to overtake the world. 1) Present yourself to God (Rom. 12:1, 2); 2) Develop a team attitude (Matt. 18:19); 3) Maintain your course (I Cor. 9:24, 25). Listen as Ben shares many nuggets of wisdom.
Prayer
Using the book of Acts mostly, Dan Stoltzfus taught on the role of the Holy Spirit and being in one accord to see the power of prayer. He encourages everyone to improve their prayer life and to pray more.
You Can See Your Faith Part 8
Faith is measurable. Use your faith on small things first, control your mouth, watch where your faith is at, and don’t go backwards. Don’t wrestle with the negative side.
The Lost, The Cross, The Crowns
Using many scriptures Todd exhorts the body of Christ to make Jesus Christ their passion and the One whom they love. We are to be full-time ambassadors for Christ. Am I redeeming or wasting the time? Will my works go through the fire or are they wood, hay, and stubble?
How To Deal with Defeat
Elijah- the brook dried up; Luke 5:4-9 Peter fishing- “…Nevertheless at Your Word I will let down the net.” Don’t see yourself through the lens of failure (experience). Don’t let fear paralyze you from thinking bigger, and don’t let testimonies be a monument. Look for the good and think on it. What God tells you to do may contradict what your knowledge and “expertise” tells you.
Natural and Supernatural Roads
LaVere Soper of Tulsa and Scotland, preaches on not getting stuck in the natural, but seeking God. Sometimes we need to be taken “out of the village” (Mark 8:22 ff) to get away from the culture, family, religious customs that lock us into the natural. He shares about many people who experienced the supernatural in the Bible.
How to Abide in Him or Hear His Voice
Jesus had to grow in favor with God and men, and so did Samuel. We need to grow in favor with God. He loves us passionately, and we need to develop that intimacy with Him. Listen to learn how to be more intimate with your loving Heavenly Father by seeking Him early in the morning, daily.
Samson’s Hair Grew Again
Judges 16:22 Something is growing in your life again. The devil thinks “your hair is shaven” and you’ve lost your power, vision, hope, joy, love, or whatever, but it’s not over. Just like Gideon, we might ask, “Why is this happening to me?” but remember that what’s inside of you, even if it’s small, is enough. Go with the little thing and take back what Satan has taken from you!
Position To Prevail
I Sam. 17:11-24 is Pastor Perdip’s (from Sri Lanka) text. God has positioned us to prevail and to have victory. Listen as he preaches on seven (7) ways David became an agent of change and how we can possess the “promised land”.
So This Daniel Prospered
Pastor Israel preaches from Dan. 6:28, 3, 4, and 23 showing that Daniel prospered because he was faithful, had an excellent spirit in him, and believed in his God. You must pray and say something into the “dry bones” in your life.
But, Noah
Using Genesis 6:8, Pastor Israel from Madras, India preaches on finding grace in the eyes of the Lord by walking with God, working with God, and worshiping God.
Walking In Love
John 15:11. Listen as Pastor Dave gives many scriptures and examples to help us walk in love.
You Can See Your Faith Part 7
If you’re lacking faith, you’re lacking the Word in that area. Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added. Seek the kingdom, not the things. Focus on Jesus- not money, health. Your walk with Jesus must be #1, spouse #2, and children #3. Financial problems in your home are likely a problem of your relationship with Jesus or with your family.
The Holy Spirit and Healing
Richard Roberts preached and demonstrated methods of healing: laying on of hands, speaking the word of healing, the prayer of faith and using anointing oil, the operation of the gifts of the Spirit, and praying for one another (seed prayer).
New Creation Life
The new birth is a record. God doesn’t fix us. He raises us from the dead and makes us new creations. Pastor Dale explains what passes away and what is changed.
Weapons of Our Warfare
Lindsay Roberts used many different tools and other visual aids to teach on Satan’ weapons and God’s weapons.
Preparations for Presence (His)
Being in God’s presence, requires our individual preparation, such as acting in obedience to God even when it doesn’t make sense, getting rid of the “cockroaches” in our lives, and getting our hearts in alignment with God’s.
A Plan For Your Life
Dwight uses an egg as an analogy to the Trinity. He gives three ways to know if something is NOT from God: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. If God tests you, there will be an option in it, and He wants to see if you will be obedient. He never tempts you.
