God is full of grace and mercy but cannot work through unbelief. The grief of God's heart is caused by those who are closest to Him and yet still have a heart full of unbelief. Wherever there is unbelief there is hopelessness and a wilderness. God promises that He will BE GOD TO US, we must trust Him and take Him at His word. God wants a simple determined faith that believes and takes hold of His promises.

 Have you embraced a complete revelation of the completed work of Jesus Christ? Understanding the we are safe, secure and forgiven because of the Blood of Jesus is not enough. We must see the risen, glorified Man in Heaven who finished the work and defeated every giant. Until we go beyond the cross and embrace the resurrection power of Jesus, and the glorious Triumph of Christ, we will never experience the joyous victory that is available to us in Christ.
 

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.

This message is for all those who never had the opportunity to go out on the mission field but stayed behind and prayed for the mission. This is a true portrayal of how the body of Christ operates. There are combatants- those who go on the mission and fight in the front lines and there are the congregants - those who stay behind and stand in the gap with militant prayers that bring about the victory. God is calling His church to rest in their calling and to have clean hands and pure hearts so that the love of Jesus will flow through us in the power of the Holy Spirit.

 This is a message for people who have fallen from grace into sin. You were in the fold of the shepherd at one time, loving Christ, and sin has cast you out of the Lord's presence. The Lord is relentless to seek us out until we are drawn back by His faithful love and mercy. The Shepherd will seek after you until you come to a complete repentance, and you are back in His loving arms. Jesus promises to restore all the years that the canker worm has eaten.
 

Christians all over the world are facing their own private war. These are trials and afflictions comparable to war zones and bloody battlefields. Often, these painful experiences can seem so overwhelming they hinder our ability to communicate the situation with others. These wars can be struggles of finance, battles with lust, or seasons of heaviness where we become so weary of the fight, we want to give up. God wants us to know there is a way to victory but that he leaves us in the battle to strengthen us. By doing so, we become a benefit to all those around us.

Dry spells always follow mountain top experiences or times when we have been blessed by God. The Lord teaches us things about His nature by the trials we endure here on earth. If you are on dry ground you are on your way to a great miracle. Dry ground is a pathway to the Promised Land. Its on dry ground that the enemy is defeated and the wheels of pharaohs' chariots fall off. Dry ground is where Jesus reveals Himself to us. God has promised that out of dry places NEW LIFE will spring up.

Perfect love for the believer begins with love for one another. We will never understand how to live a life free from fear if we have a grudge in our heart against anybody, if we have a spirit of revenge, or if there is anyone in the body of Christ that we have cast off from fellowship. There has to be a settled determination to have every grudge plucked out of our heart after we have forgiven past hurt and mistreatment. Perfect love is not just about our devotion to God, but that we know and believe in the love that He has for us because of the GLORY OF THE CROSS.

We are invited to come boldly to the Throne of Grace, "Christ Possessed", knowing He is Our Father and He is also our King. When God speaks and makes a decree He speaks by His Living Word and He is bound to His own promises and divine purposes. We cannot go into God's presence without a promise from His Word. When God speaks a word to you don't consult with your flesh and don't allow your feelings of unworthiness to affect your prayers. We are to come boldly with a fixed position, believing the truth and power of His Word.

We cannot fully come into the joy and peace of the Father's delight for our deliverance until we understand it was done at the Cross of Christ. When we believe in Jesus Christ and we walk by faith, we understand we are forgiven, renewed in our mind and qualified because of the Blood of Jesus Christ. As much and just like the Father delights in His own Son, He delights in us because we are in Christ and we are what He says we are by faith. The Blood that saves us is the blood that keeps us.
