Armada’s Shane shared about his and his wife, Katie’s, work and life in Moscow. Pastor Dale’s sermon was ministering on healing as part of salvation. Do you want to know if you believe? If you cannot be made to doubt something, you believe it.

Rev. 12:10-11. Victory comes by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony and not loving our lives unto the death. We are to witnesses to what we have seen and experienced. We have to chose if we love God or do we love our own lives. Do we chose heaven over earth (the flesh)? We need to stay in fellowship with God and others. We can testify of others’ testimonies as well as our own.

Do you want to have victory? Learn to speak to your problem, not about the problem. Your words release faith, so speak to the problem and speak out, confess the answer. Fill your words with power and blessing. What you speak is what you’re ordering in your life. A strong word of caution: Make sure you’re not cursing your own life by focusing on your problems. We are not to sympathize, but we are to have compassion.

Are you caught in the web of works? Have you forgotten it’s by grace you have been saved? Pastor Dale uses his and Pastor Bob’s jackets to demonstrate that the sin, sickness, and lack are and were exchanged for God’s righteousness, healing, and riches. Jesus took what we had and gave what God has to give us, because Jesus Christ paid for them.

The circumstances you’re dealing with are temporal, meaning they are subject to change. Find out how looking to Jesus and at the eternal can bring God’s promises to fruition in your life. You are made in God’s image, so call those things that be not as though they are.

With Hebrews 11:1 as a starting point, Pastor Dale builds on the necessary foundation of faith. First comes hope, and then faith. Using the analogy of concrete being poured into a wooden form, he compared faith to the concrete being shaped by the wooden form (hope). We will have more faith the more we trust God and have a close relationship with Him. We will get tossed about, but we are to stand our ground, not waver, and not doubt in our hearts.

Starting with Matthew 16:15-18, Pastor Dale preached the Resurrection Day sermon. Although Peter knew Jesus’ divinity, it has hidden from the people, so that He would be crucified and resurrected, providing salvation for all humanity. It offends Jesus when we are not willing to sacrifice for Him. Taking up our cross means our dying on it. Before Jesus’ resurrection, out of man’s heart came evil, but since the resurrection, we’ve been raised from the dead, meaning that now evil comes from the works of the flesh, according to Paul in Galatians 5:19. Our spirits are born again, but we still need to deal with the flesh and our minds.

“Based on the Word” Our thoughts and ways are not always God’s thoughts and ways. Using Isaiah 55:8-11 and Luke 16:22-31 (the rich man and Lazarus), Pastor Dale encourages the listener to build on the Word of God and not on manifestations, experiences, and emotions. The Word is eternal. He addresses condemnation versus conviction.

Pastor Dale shares his strong focus of tearing down religious spirits in Lancaster and the church body and getting the focus back on worshiping the living Christ. Even a move of God can be worshiped, instead of the Lord Jesus Christ. Dale uses Moses and the brass serpent scriptures to illustrate how something “good” can be worshiped.

Our bodies are a temple to house God’s Spirit in us. Since we walk by faith, it’s as if we’re with the Lord. We can walk and reap in a glorified body here, now. The Spirit and the Word agree. Pastor Dale cautions us to not be deceived by people who may start out with the Holy Spirit, but who get away from the Word and end in deception. (Col. 2:8, 15; Gal. 1:6-9; Eph. 4:14)

Romans 12:1,2 Some things God begs you to do: offer your body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God. When you’re holy, He can indwell you, and you are acceptable. Sin disrupts our fellowship with God and costs heaven’s place in you. What you offer to God as a sacrifice must cost you for your lifetime. Don’t love the world, because it’s not eternal, and the love of the Father is not in him. Base what you say on the Word. James 1:6, 7- If people are wavering, they shouldn’t even think they will receive. Faith begins with your thought-life.

Heb. 11:1; II Cor. 5:7. Faith is not denying what you see, but calling things that be not as though they are. Make the Word first priority in your life, depend of Him, ask what’s His will , and do what you can do. Develop proficiency in seeing yourself healed, delivered, prospered… James 1:22-24 be a doer of the Word. Get an image of what you would like from Jesus.

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.

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.

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.
