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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Ezekiel 37:1-11
There are ministries that come and go as times pass by because the anointing oil, the outpouring of God's presence was something that was not sought after daily. If our lives have gotten boring, the beauty is that we can get that fire back in our bones by earnestly seeking His presence. Getting fresh oil in our life means getting a new attitude and positioning ourselves in a way that the Hand of God can come upon us, it’s a constant posture of gratitude and worship instead of whining and complaining.All of us are always being updated by God as everytime we get plugged into Him we are not only getting recharged but we are getting renewed into the image of Him. However most of us are more interested in his hand than his face so instead of seeking him for his blessings it’s when we seek Him for Him that we will experience fresh oil. The encounter happens when we realise that:
1] Prayer isn't about praying, it’s about being in a relationship.
2] We won’t be in control when God is moving
3] When you take steps towards Him, God moves in
As Chrisitans we will end up either becoming fountains of living water or drains. We want to be a group of people that give life to those around us because we are called to be salt and light in this world. When we are carried away in the presence of the Lord we step back with more joy, love and a renewed sense of life! Maybe God will fill us up and drop us into a valley but it's only because He is now equipping us to be people that will prophesy life into dry bones!
Application:
Have you been satisfied with yesterdays oil? When was the last time you sought God’s presence just to be with Him?
Prayer:
Lord here I am, to be still and know that you are God. I give this moment to you, without all distraction. Meet me and encounter me here and renew the fresh oil in this heart
