New York City - 2002 Pastors Conference - A Time For Renewal
Doctrines and denominations were tossed aside. Personal agendas were left at the door. The only thing on the hearts and minds of the men and women inside Radio City Music Hall was God.
Hundreds of pastors, their wives and other church leaders gathered in New York City for the "Time for Renewal -- Restoring Your Passion for Christ" pastors' conference (June 12-14, 2002).
Jesus Is Always the Answer
Jesus is the answer to every problem and every situation. We don’t have to look anywhere else. He has everything under control. The answer is not in relationships, it is not in success, it is not in riches and whatever else we try to find fulfillment in. After you have tried everything and realize nothing can satisfy, turn to Jesus because He is ALL WE WILL EVER NEED.
The Zeal of the Lord
No matter what the devil throws at us God's church will prevail. We must never surrender to the lies of the devil and allow him to take the ministry and the gifts that God has given us to use for his evil purposes. When the enemy comes in like a flood run into your prayer closet and remind yourself of the promises of God. God will reveal Himself to us and show us that no matter how dark it looks and how bleak the times are God has chosen to glorify His name through His church who call on His name. God draws us into His covenant and covers us through His mercy and faithfulness.
'Tis Not the Season to Be Discouraged
The Christmas season for many is a time of loneliness and discouragement. There is a moment in everyone's life when God will come and whisper His truth in our hearts, that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE when Christ is at the center of our lives. God has the power to break us into pieces and consume us, and He would be be completely justified in doing so, but it is not in His heart to do so. Christmas is a season that reminds us that no matter how many times we fail Him, He sent His son Jesus to carry us through our journey. God walks with those who walk with Him.
In One Hour Everything is Going to Change
There is a sudden judgment coming where the Lord will turn everything upside down. God always moves in judgment when the cup of violence overflows. Sexual crimes against children, abortion, greed and corruption will bring about sudden destruction that will change the world in one hour. Christians should be grateful for this world and the life God has given us here but we are not to live in fear of death. If we lose the fear of death through trusting in Jesus, we will not fear the sudden destruction that is coming.
Is It Better to Be Married or Single
This is a topic that comes to mind from time to time. There are people who are married and unhappy and they want to be single again. There are singles who deeply desire to be married. Whether we are married or single there is an anointing from God for the seasons that we are in. When we put down the desire to be married in the natural, we will begin to live under the power and grace of God. Single people have an incredible opportunity to serve God and care for the things He cares about.
Spending and Being Spent
If God can have all of you to Himself then God can use you to be spent for His kingdom. God bought us with His own blood and He stamped His image on us so we can show others who He is. He is calling us to yield all of our talents and gifts for His glory. The great struggle is with the heart that is not willing to surrender to His purposes and plans. If you are in a struggle God will wait until you come to the end of yourself and then be there to pick you up and empower you to do His will.
God Will Feed You in the Wilderness
This message is for those who are in a wilderness season and because they look in the mirror in the natural they can't see where strength and provision will come from. Many turn back right at the place where they will begin to discover and enter into the supernatural life of God. When we are in unbelief we begin to limit God by doubting that He could supply what we need and take us where He is calling us to go. The central core of unbelief is that God's way is incomplete and we must help Him bring His plan to pass.
DISCLAIMER
Our policy is that all gifts designated for a specific project be applied to that project. Occasionally we receive more funds than can be wisely used for the designated project. When that happens, we use those funds to meet other similar pressing needs in the same country to advance the gospel.
