Ways of the Kingdom

Characteristics of a Casual Christian

"He who loves purity of heart, and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend" (Proverbs 22:11). In John 15:14, Jesus teaches us that we are his friends if we do what he commands. The Holy Spirit wants to help us create a climate for communion with our King, and that climate is maintained through obedience.

Creating a Climate for Communion with the Lord

"From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God" (Acts 28:23). We must shake off apathy and excuse-making and daily contend for the kingdom of God. The Father is looking only for available vessels.

Contending for Breakthrough

When Solomon finished praying to dedicate the temple, the fire fell. What happens when we finish praying? The fire will fall where there is dedication - a heart that is separated, surrendered, and yielded to His will. The fire will fall when a man with such a heart says, "Here I am. This is my life."

The Temple and the Fire

The Father is calling us individually and corporately into the place of prayer. The greatest ministry we have is ministering to Him through a lifestyle of intimate friendship with and obedience to Him. The King has given us authority to know and pray the desires of His heart to shake the nations.

Partnership and Prayer

We cannot advance the kingdom vision that the Father has given the local church without Martha's, but our remaining steady in the call of God depends on being seated at His feet, waiting in His presence. We need Martha and Mary to become one in our mind's, but the vertical dimension must take priority.

Mary and Martha: We Need Both

One of the great tragedies in Scripture is the death of an entire generation of Israel in the wilderness due to unbelief. We need to confront every stronghold of fear and unbelief by saturating and renewing our minds with the Word of God. Let us set our minds on things above and believe that the Father will accomplish what He has promised.

The Supernatural Begins in the Mind

Enough of this toleration of doctrine that is not rooted in the revelation of God's holiness and the revelation of Jesus Christ, but in the opinions and the minds of men. When the Word of God is lost in our lives, we lose our way and establish idols in our lives. Revival will always begin with a revelation of the Word of God.

The Need for Personal Revival, Part II

Revival is about the heart being revived, awakened, and re-positioned for the express purpose of the Father's pleasure. It's a restoration of the original design that the Father purposed from the beginning - a people for His very own.

The Need for Personal Revival

In Isaiah 66, the Father asks, "Where is the house that you will build for Me? Where will my resting place be?" The Father is looking for the Body of Messiah to be a habitation for His presence and His glory. Let us prepare ourselves to be His resting place in humility and brokenness of spirit. Only rent hearts will rend the heavens.

The House the Lord Wants

Are you angry at the alarm clock? Self-indulgence wearies us and causes our hearts to slumber, and often our displaced passion is spent on the cares of this world rather than the glory of God. The Father is calling His people to awaken to urgency and zeal for His name - alone.

Are you in a Hurry?

"The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?" Then he said, "Tomorrow." (Ex. 8:9-10) - What are you putting off until tomorrow?

One More Night With The Frogs

We live in a world where there is pain everywhere we go, but as believers we have the capacity to deal with pain God's way. We cannot afford to be offended at God when we go through difficulties in our lives.

Dealing with Pain

The Father is calling us to cultivate faithfulness in the city in which we live. He's calling us to lift up our eyes and look on the harvest, but if we're not steady in the grace of God - we will miss our harvest. We must not grow weary in doing good, for the Father will cause us to reap a harvest at the proper time.

Stay Steady

The presence of God is the most important thing in our lives. We are distinguished by the presence of God, and we cannot allow anything to keep us from the bread of His presence. Pursue it!
