Fearless LA Podcast

We’ve gone through some things in 2024 but we all have unfinished business that might carry through to the new year if we don’t actively choose to let go. The thing is, our unfinished business is not just going to go away at the start of the new year, that healing, forgiveness, that sin: if it’s not intentionally removed will remain. Like the Israelites that came across Jericho, there are walls we face that can only be overcome through obedience. As we lean not on our or understanding and see a circumstance through the eyes of God, it begins to give us the strength to...

Fearless LA Podcast

Read: John 1:9 The first Christmas wasn’t this wondrous occasion full of gifts and celebration but it was a moment where Mary had to reveal some difficult news to Joseph about the miracle baby she was carrying. He didn’t believe her yet he had to submit to obedience when the Lord asked him to trust His plan. The first Christmas was filled with feelings of betrayal and confusion but there was a greater purpose that was about to unfold. Could it be that you are running from something and cursing something that looks like it is from the enemy is actually from God?Being chosen to change...

Fearless LA Podcast

Without vision people perish, which means they expire living hopeless lives and many times they end up waiting around dead things expecting it to give them life. Religion is man made and as we go through the motions we might become dry in our faith but as a river of living water Jesus will bring life wherever He shows up.  Let’s not be like the people surrounded at the pool waiting for an angel to save them when the one who carries healing we desire,, is in the room waiting to encounter us. We can be people that hear about Jesus but because our eyes are so focused on breakthrough...

Fearless LA Podcast

All throughout the Bible God would constantly ask the Israelites to remember. Because sometimes looking back at the things that God got you through can give you the courage and confidence to believe that He’s going to get you through the now. But there are times that the Lord says, “I need you to forget the former things and perceive the new.” If we are looking back we will never be able to move forward into what He’s wanting to do through us. When we start living in a way that fills our house with light, we can be entrusted to change the neighborhood and then the world! The...

Fearless LA Podcast

God is everywhere and is not confined to a building because of that we see Jesus at a wedding, where He ends up performing one of His very first miracles. The miracle that turned water into wine wasn’t as simple as Jesus snapping His fingers but instead He gave the servants a process, a series of steps to follow that brings this miracle to pass. Oftentimes this ends up being the case with our own lives; we might be broke and He gives us a process to heal our finances, we might need community and He gives us a process to getting plugged into the family. Here are some things to remember about...

Fearless LA Podcast

The 7th hour represents the God hour over our life as 7 is the number of completion. Sometimes in life we find ourselves stuck on a road without end but with, there is always something to expect at the finish line. It's at the 7th hour that miracles take place, it’s where the sun stands still and we see God move. The Roman Official that came to Jesus for a miracle  heard the stories but he wasn’t a follower of Jesus yet he came humbly to God as the answer for his heart's cry. What Jesus ended up giving this man was a word, a precious word that was planted on rich soil that then...

The Lord longs to give us His Holy Spirit power, not just power for selfish gain but power so that we can be a witness in testifying about the truth of God. It’s okay if we don’t have the personality of the prerequisite in our biblical education to do so but all we need is the power to go out and preach this word with our lives. Along with the power we also need to be able to discern where the Holy Spirit is leading us because some things can simply be a good idea instead of a God idea. Sometimes the call of God might lead us to encounter closed doors which is why it is important to start...

Fearless LA Podcast

Revelation 3:14-17 Those who God loves, he disciplines through truth in love by giving us an honest picture of our lives. As we continue this series on the churches we see that in everything God says He is longing for intimacy with us. With the church of Laodicea He does commend them for their works but because they were a church that worked hard yet has chosen to be lukewarm, He ultimately rebukes them the most. God addresses the attitude in which they had succumbed to living their lives and implores them to become either hot or cold. Christianity is an all in the way of being, you cannot be...

As we continue to dive deeper into our walk with God we realize that Church is not a hiding place but a rallying place to get fired up for the next mission Our only objective in life  is that people discover Jesus so how we represent Him is going to be more effective out in the world that inside the walls of the church. In order to complete this mission we have to stand on the truth that we are both kings in ruling but also kings in waiting, so as we are expectant to God to take us to that “next big thing” we can still influence the atmosphere of where we are at. 
Here are some things to think about as we continue to reflect the light of Christ: 

1 Sometimes our lack of promotion is just a season of preparation. 

2 To bring glory means to excel in whatever it is we do and that excellence will speak to people.

3 We have to be overt and covert at the same time. 

It’s our mandate to change this city and to change this country for the Lord. A city on a hill cannot be hidden the word says, which means that if each of us collectively shine the light that has been given us, together we make a massive impact on the darkness that surrounds us. We often feel ineffective because we are isolated but look around you and see that you have been placed in a body that is running this race alongside you! 

Application -
Where are you positioned: a job, your family, your friends. How can you begin to bring that unique light into their lives?

Prayer -
Father help me reflect the light of Jesus on to those around me. I pray that I will excel in all the skills you have given me and in that process that I will bring you utmost glory. Help me see this season of preparation as the training grounds for what you have in store for the future! In Jesus Name!
