March End - April 16

Annointed forAdvancement

In this series, I take you deeper into the story of David and Goliath and provide a background to the story that will connect the dots in a way that will invite you to look at this story from a much larger perspective in Scripture. I will also in the process show you how it all applies to your life right now. I am persuaded there will be an infusion of the Spirit of Faith (yes the Holy Spirit IS the Spirit of Faith). Have you ever felt: 	You were overlooked	 You were considered insignificant	 You were marginalized	 You had no social claim to greatness	 You had no credentials that anyone felt were tied to advancement God hasn’t given us the spirit of timidity! You have been anointed to advance! There is so much to be said and unpacked in the story of David and Goliath. All too often, even as David was overlooked, there are details in the story that are overlooked and never told. Those hidden details are the key to being “anointed to advance”.

Bitter Roots Bitter Expectations

This series takes a deep dive into the many dynamics that prevent us from the kind of spiritual discernment and wisdom that lead to greater peace and poise, and yes even empowerment. I will take you on a journey through the theology of resentment, and the psychology of resentment, and the pathway to flourishing. The content in this series is bountiful. You will not be disappointed.

Broken Yet Beautiful

Caleb The Vanguard Spirit

This series will cause you to consider again the story of an ancient warrior who is a prototype for an end time vanguard army of God! It will give you keys to operating in the spirit of strength and resilience. It will inspire you to believe God for greater things in this season. It will awaken the faith in you that slays Giants. It will also teach you strategies in faith that will help you size of your enemies in light of the size of God's promises to you.

Coming Back to Rest The Soul's Journey

Within “Futures Studies” we are trained and disciplined to “scan the horizon” of the future prayerfully through four lenses. I want to share with you what those four lenses are, and how they apply to where we are right now. Some of you may not be used to this approach to understand the times. However, I want to assure you that in approaching “understanding the times” from this perspective you will derive a greater sense of wisdom, clarity, peace, assurance, and hope. My deepest desire as I said at the beginning is that grace and peace in all their fullness will be multiplied in you, to you, and through you for your sake, and the sake of all you relate to, for the glory of God. Take a journey with me in this series, Coming Back To Rest.

Discerning Revelatory Moments

It is four content-rich messages from one passage in Luke 2 that is sure to invite you to reacquaint yourself with how those who long preceded us in the journey of faith had to walk in faith when Christ arrived on the scene. The Incarnation changed everything in history, past, present and future. The formation of faith is rooted for us in the Incarnation and the “why” of the Incarnation. These four messages will bless and enrich you can evoke in you a compelling desire to walk by faith even as Mary and Joseph did, and as Simeon and Anna did. In many ways, this series is quite prophetic.

Faith The Promise The Now and The Not Yet

Hold on Tight With an Open Hand

Join me as I visit the life of the patriarch Jacob, and his wrestling match with the Lord, and the fact that the Lord was inviting him to hold the reins of life loosely. The culmination of the story is when Jacob says, “I will not let you go until you bless me”. Jacob had not learned how to hold the reins of life loosely. God was endeavoring to teach him how to do so and invited him to “Hold On Tight With An Open Hand”. This four-message series goes deep into the heart and mind of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, and his family pain and struggles, and how his adulthood was shaped by his childhood. It is a journey to wholeness, but it involves the need for both self-awareness and God-awareness. The patient love of the Triune God ultimately transforms Jacob into Israel, because he learns how to hold the reins of life loosely. He learns how to “Hold On Tight With An Open Hand”. You will want this in your library, I assure you.

Hoping and Coping

As is my custom, in these kinds of teaching, I bring together theology and psychology where they can be integrated and fit together, to provide a well-rounded approach to well-being and flourishing. In this series I look at what “Hope Theory” has discovered in the last few decades that simply confirms what Scripture has said all along. With hope there comes “will-power” and “way-power”. There is a great deal of content in this series that you will thoroughly appreciate and enjoy. It’s life-changing, its practical, and yes its profoundly, humanly, spiritual.

I Can't Get There From Here

I Won't Complain or Will I

In the series, I talk from the many passages that are present and filled with insight, on how Job lifted his voice and lament, mourning, grief, and even complaint. And in none of it did God ever say he sinned with his mouth. His friends thought they were speaking for God. They weren’t. God was quite upset with them, and God makes it plain at the end of the book that he wasn’t happy with them, because they haven’t spoken faithfully of him, while Job indeed speak faithfully and truly about who God was and who God is. I really do believe that is challenging the book is as the book of Job, and as painful as it is to realize what he went through, if we are patient, the way James tells us to consider Job’s patience, we will discover that we will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.

If ItMatters To You It Matters To God

What is it that matters to you that either your own heart, or that enemy has convince youdoesn’t matter to God?Would you be willing to answer that question transparently without fear, knowing it is safe todo so?Never forget…- God is concerned about your never enough.- God is concerned about the fact that often your resources fall short, and you run outjust when you need to have more.- God is concerned about how even you’re six days of labor fall short of the rest of theSabbath that God made for your sake. He cares if you hold have to hold down multiplejobs to make ends meet.Beloved, the print my heart for you in this season is that you will grasp and a greater measurethe grace of our Lord Jesus in this simple yet profound awareness that: “if it matters to you, itmatters to God!”

In Over Our Heads

In this series, I take you on a spiritual and psychological journey to the transformation of the soul into the image and likeness of Christ. It is designed to heighten your awareness of precisely what the title speaks of for a day and hour when uncertainty looms large: HEALING GRACE, EMOTIONAL SPACE, and RESTING PLACE. You will be enlarged in your awareness of how those three realities play a significant role in your well-being and in your transformational journey in Christ. There is no question it is content rich. There is also no question that it is a deep dive into the places in our heart where we wrestle profoundly with questions we have a hard time dealing with. There is life here. It will encourage and bless you.

It's All A Matter of Seeing

John the Revelator is also called John the “SEER”, because he had a highly developed set of spiritual senses and had learned by the Spirit how to see what was needful and act accordingly. This four-message series is literally an “eye-opening” series that will bring a sane perspective to the purpose of the Book of Revelation that will ground you in wisdom and godly insight. There is no hype or sensationalism in this series, only that which will help form you in Christ Jesus. This series will be a significant value-add to your learning library.

Jesus Physician of The Soul

Healing flows from Jesus. Just walking with Him by faith, and pouring your heart out, has profound psychological and emotional benefits. Walking faithfully with Jesus brings about a restoration of internal integrity. Internal integrity happens as a by-product of the walk of faith. It happens because of learning and discerning where the presence of Jesus is moving and what he is focusing on in your life at this very moment, and in this season. 	The Spirit, from the inside-out wants to deepen the relationship between your own self-awareness and how your God-awareness is connected to it.	The Spirit, from the inside-out wants to assist you in developing your emotional muscles so that your moods are strengthened and abide in an optimistic state rather than a negative state. Your emotions, feelings, and moods, believe it or not, were shaped by the time you are only 6 or 7 years of age, and not all of that shaping was healthy. In fact, redemption doesn’t only heal you in relation to your future, redemption works its way backwards to cure your soul’s diseases by helping you redefine your past. When the Spirit, as directed by the intercession of Jesus on your behalf searches the depths of your being on behalf of the Father, all sorts of things can not only get reconciled, they turn the rough places smooth, and the low places become leveled out. This series is full of insights on Jesus’ own journey to being and becoming the Healer of our soul’s diseases. It is an eye-opener for sure. However, more than that, it is a heart opener. And all healing begins in the heart, because faith is birthed in the heart by the Spirit.

Jesus The Prophetic Messiah

It is a rich teaching in four messages on how Jesus is not just our High Priest and King, but how by the Holy Spirit, he is the Great Prophet himself! I promise the teaching is both rice and informative, taken from the Gospel of Luke, and packed with insight from Luke the Physician’s account of the life of Jesus in his gospel. You will learn a great deal that often gets overlooked, that right there in plain sight.

Jesus Unrivaled Part 2

Jesus Unrivaled Part 3

Let There Be Light

It is four content-rich messages from one passage in Luke 2 that is sure to invite you to reacquaint yourself with how those who long preceded us in the journey of faith had to walk in faith when Christ arrived on the scene. The Incarnation changed everything in history, past, present and future. The formation of faith is rooted for us in the Incarnation and the “why” of the Incarnation. These four messages will bless and enrich you can evoke in you a compelling desire to walk by faith even as Mary and Joseph did, and as Simeon and Anna did. In many ways, this series is quite prophetic.

My Fear is Getting In the Way of My Future

Resilience It's Not An Option, It's Essential

You need to know the difference Scripturally, mentally, psychologically, and experientially, between coping and resilience. You need to take an honest assessment of where your stressors are revealing whether you are merely coping or becoming intentionally resilient. This series will go a long way in assisting you in that regard. It is packed with rich content, substantial insight, and practical applications. This content is a must-have series for you in your learning library to refer to again and again.

Seated in The Heavenlies

All of us are called to “pray AND work”, and do it together. As one who has redeemed, and made to sit with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:5-7), and to stand in the gap and pray as a member of God's heavenly council that moves by faith from glory to glory in the Spirit, and let's princes in powers and know that we mean business, you too are called to pray AND work. What can happen at your workplace that isn’t happening that would bring New Creation to bear upon the current reality you are dealing with? What can happen in your home that isn’t happening that would bring New Creation to bear upon the current reality your are dealing with? Don’t simply pray and then work, and don’t simply work and then pray! St. Benedict, while long since gone to his reward, speaks from ancient history and tells us it is prayer AND work. When you see your self as part of God's new creation, and not simply someone who has been forgiven so that you can go to heaven when you die, you will wake up to all the really Good News that is the Gospel of Christ, the gospel of the Kingdom. Seated In The Heavenlies: Standing In The Divine Council It will change the way you see God.It will change the way you see yourself.It will change the way you see the world.It will change the way you see the Kingdom.It will change the way you see “the obedience of faith”. It will revolutionize your prayer and worship life! You will listen to these teachings and you will make fundamental shifts in your lIfe by the Spirit that will lead to transformation from glory to glory!

Seeing Jesus through Brand New Eyes

This four message series is designed to take you on a journey through the eyes of Mary of Bethany, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene and then you and I standing with John at the foot of the Cross and contemplating in prayer the love of the One who died for us.This series is rich in spiritual insight on communion with the Life of God and the love that is the very essence of the Triune Life of the Father, Son, and Spirit.

Son of Man and New Creation

In this series, I direct our attention to Jesus and what He brings to bear. I want to take us on a deep dive into what the incarnation is all about and how the Cross speaks to every aspect of our being human. This series is four messages in length, and it is a DEEP DIVE. I promise it is rich. The end of it all is learning how to love and to love well.

The Battle For Life In A Culture Of Death

One of the great “keys" to unlocking the signs and wonders in the "hidden kingdom" in the Elisha stories is to see how be politically powerless are in touch with and open to what God is doing through Elisha! This is going to be a major key in the current hour. God is going to move again in signs and wonders on a greater scale through charismatically- empowered men and women who are considered “nobodies" in the culture of death. They are going to be a vanguard company in the" battle for life”. This series is going to enlighten, empower, and enlarge you in the Holy Spirit! It will captivate your sense of urgency for the things God wants to do in this hour and release you in you something of a fresh fire of faith for the future.

The Heart of The Gospel

Trust me. The insights in this series have taken me 48 years to live through. I could’ve never preached us in my earliest years of ministry. I don’t think I could’ve even preached this a decade ago. I am grateful for what God has allowed me to live through and experience, that has caused me to so deeply appreciate the wisdom hidden in the book of Job that is available for all God’s precious children. Know this, you are God’s precious child!

The Issachar Legacy

In this series I lay down a foundation from a Biblical perspective on how God wants us to see and participate in alternate futures to the culture of death that is alll around us.The series is all about a fresh approach to the walk of faith. It is time to ask God for the alternatives he has desired to release by asking him to sanctify our imaginations to see beyond natural trends and tensions. 	What do you need to let go of that is old fixation getting in the way of a new alternative?	What are the new connections the spirit is wanting you to make at this season of your life?	How effective are you at discerning the institutions that come to you by the power of the indwelling spirit?	Have you heard the "sound" of the spirit?	Have you caught the "wind" of the spirit?	Have you felt the "fire" of the spirit? You are apart of an emerging company of men and women that will carry on the legacy of the tribe of Issachar that will understand the times we live in and know how to act in faith for things to shift in favor of God's future!

The Law of The Life-Giving Spirit

The integration of sound scriptural truths with sound psychological principles in relation to this series is going to provide you with a fresh awareness of godly coping strategies that can move you in a hopeful direction through your pain and past your pain. The ground I cover is thorough and detailed. It will serve you in your journey of faith.

The Lord Our Helper

This series speaks to the reality that God hears us, delivers us, guards us, keeps us, preserves us, leads us, strengthens us, and in all of it, HELPS US! It is a psalm of profound insight and profound comfort. There are so many things here we miss. I take a certain angle to look at these mountains in this Psalm, only one angle, to offer an aspect of awareness that you might not have considered. There are indeed other angles of looking that the mountains, yet that is for another teaching. This series speaks to how to handle a time of distress, much like where we are right now. This is a teaching that will take you on a reflective journey to consolation in the midst of the trials you are facing.

The Overwhelming Realm of the Spirit

This series, “The Overwhelming Realm of the Spirit”, is a compelling, inspiring, invigorating look at the ways the Sovereign Spirit of Christ interacted both with Saul of Tarsus who became Paul the apostle, and John the Revelator. These 4 messages are intended to get your attention for a fresh in-breaking of the presence and power of Christ by the work of the Holy Spirit. I promise you won’t be disappointed as you listen. And it just might be that your heart will catch fire and you might start praying for the Spirit to come afresh in overwhelming ways!

The Test of Faith

It is four content-rich messages from one passage in Luke 2 that is sure to invite you to reacquaint yourself with how those who long preceded us in the journey of faith had to walk in faith when Christ arrived on the scene. The Incarnation changed everything in history, past, present and future. The formation of faith is rooted for us in the Incarnation and the “why” of the Incarnation. These four messages will bless and enrich you can evoke in you a compelling desire to walk by faith even as Mary and Joseph did, and as Simeon and Anna did. In many ways, this series is quite prophetic.

The Way of Wisdom & Your Season of Harvest

“The Way of Wisdom And Your Season Of Harvest”. All of us are building things in our lives whether we are conscious of it or not. The questions are,· What are we building for?· What are we building towards? We will either seek out the way of wisdom and prudence in relation to our desires and expectations, or we will retreat from risking in the name of remaining comfortable. Making the most of where you and I are in this season is really important. This series will unpack the rich insights from Solomon’s Proverbs (especially from Proverbs 6; 10; & 20. This new series is profoundly practical and seeks to ground you in the hope of a promised future…your promised future.

Until Christ is Formed In You

It isn’t just that Christ was formed in the womb of Mary. Christ needs to be formed again in all of us, the church, God’s people, and Christ’s Bride. That is where all spiritual formation, genuine spiritual formation begins. It all begins in the womb of our human spirits, where the Spirit of Christ has come to dwell. I am preparing the saints in this season for a time of renewal that I prayerfully yearn to bring a time of great refreshing and perhaps a fresh move of the Spirit. There are gems in this brand-new series for those who hunger and thirst for renewal and refreshing.

Visions of God

Visions of God: The Mystery of the Uncreated Divine Light You and I are created! The God we serve is Uncreated! The lights in the sky are created. His glorious light is uncreated! Throughout Scripture the prophets of old and the disciples as well, had encounters with God's uncreated light. These significant moments are captured in Scripture for our benefit. As we read them prayerfully, the Spirit can impart to us that glory and infuse us with that light. In this new series I take you on a journey through for specific encounters in the Sacred Text that I am hoping will stir a fresh hunger in you that speaks to your deepest longings.

What is Jesus Up To?

Having a prophetic vision requires, that we are constantly looking unto Jesus (as the writer to the Hebrews tells us in Hebrews 12:2), who is the author and the perfecter of our faith. The only way I can have faith for the unknown future is to have faith in the Jesus I have come to know. There is no faith for the future apart from faith in Jesus! "What Is Jesus Up To" is filled with Scriptural insights and commentary on current trends and trajectories. Ancient wisdom for post-modern life has never been more important than it is now. This series will speak to core issues we are all facing and invite us afresh to come to cultivate the “Mind of Christ”. You will glean a great deal that will provoke and stretch you to new vistas of glory and grace in Christ Jesus.

What You Don't Feel You Cannot Heal

Who is This Man

On a dark night on the Sea of Galilee when Jesus said to the disciples, “Let us go to the other side”, not one of the disciples expected what they were to face halfway between where they were and where they were going. It’s a story we are all well familiar with. Perhaps, we are so familiar with it that there are details we have missed, ignored, or not thought significant. This formational teaching series is going to take a deep dive and look at the storm at sea, the storm inside the disciples’ hearts, and Jesus and what he is about in it all, in a fresh light. I am persuaded that as you listen carefully that it will bring you to a place of settled peace, and in fresh ways support you in discovering how it is that the Spirit anchors your soul in the Lord Jesus through the storms of life.

You Can Let Go Now

When the second twin emerged from Rebekah's womb, he was holding onto the heel of his brother Esau. Isaac and Rebekah aptly named him Jacob, meaning "heel-grabber." For many years this name would be his destiny, until he was able to let go of a hollow existence and instead grasp his true destiny as a prince among men. Just like Jacob, we struggle with the quest for significance, often settling for a life never intended for us. But through the teaching of Dr. Mark Chironna, we can learn by Jacob's example to let go of the things that hinder us to become our true selves in Christ. Specific chapter topics include instruction on how to let go of the need to be first, getting ahead of yourself, selling yourself short, the pain of rejection, your unfinished business, and more.

Jesus Sightings

This series is filled with theological, spiritual, and psychological insight on how we discern the presence of Jesus, from the stories of the Post-Resurrection experiences in Luke and Acts (there are others, however I have chosen Luke’s writings because his theological approach to the life in the Spirit gives us access to all the other dimensions of life in the Spirit as revealed by John and by Paul (We will talk about that more in coming days). If you want to sharpen your awareness of how present Jesus is to you, this series will cause your heart to burn with the awareness of how he is present to you, with you, and in you. This series will take you deeper into communion with the Triune God.

Knowing Jesus Knowing Myself

How does the wounding we all experience show up in our lives, and if we are to go deep in Jesus, what do we have to face that needs to be healed? Consider this small list: stress, depression, anxiety, obsessive behavior, hypochondria, emotional aberrations (temporary disorders in our behavior or mental state), blockages (suppression or repression of painful or unwanted thoughts or memories), addictions, compulsions, faulty belief systems, improper and inadequate mental models about who we are, where we came from and where we are going, and much, much more. We all need to go deeper in Jesus. It is more than quoting Scripture. It is more than finding the right techniques and formulas to get our prayers answered. We need to get to know Jesus and ourselves at a much more profound level. That requires intimacy with Him and with one another. I would like to take you on a journey, if you are willing to explore the integration of sound theology and sound psychology, so that you can become the person God has called you to be, fully alive and fully human in Christ Jesus.

Heaven Splitting Force

Spiritual perception is a key to spiritual growth. Elijah said to Elisha, when he asked for the double-portion, “If you SEE …when I am taken from you” (2 Kings 2:10). • What are you doing to train your perceptual capacities in this season? • How exactly are you studying the Scripture? • How effectively are you listening to the text as you are reading it? • How much time do you spend contemplating the Goodness of God, and contemplating on Christ in prayer and devotion? Your spiritual senses have to be trained to discern good and evil. Elisha obtained from Elijah, what an entire generation of prophets missed because they were in predictable rather than particular places. Heaven-Splitting Force doesn’t come in predictable places.

Speak Lord Your Servant Is Listening

All of us face trouble, however, a careful look at the lives of the saints in Scripture, and we discover that trouble keeps them in prayer and teaches them how to bring everything to speech. When that happens, we discover that the Spirit is brooding over the troubling chaos we face and the deep sense of being in the dark when the promise of favor seems to be contradicted by the circumstances we face in our lives, our families, and our culture and society. Don’t waste your troubles, and don’t waste the things that provoke your spirit to groan and moan before the Lord. The Spirit is brooding over the deep places in your life and the areas you are in the dark about various issues. Hannah’s prophetic song of reversals and revolutions is going to be heard again in this hour. We are going to prophetically declare those things that are not as though they are!

If God Is So Good

None of Jesus’ prayers ever go unanswered. Yet, some of ours do! There are all sorts of reasons for that. One of the biggies is that we try to force our way into the future with prayer. So we have turned prayer into a technique. We have also tried to fit prayer into our schedules! None of this has anything to do with true prayer. The Father and the Son have been communing by the Spirit for ever and ever! Prayer is you entering into that communion and sharing their life. “If God Is So Good, How Come My Prayer Isn’t Answered…Yet?” Notice the ellipsis in the title (the three dots …)? I want you to make sure you understand that in relation to your unanswered prayer, there is a “YET”! You will enter some key stories in Scripture and discover how the “YET” is so important to both you and the Father. This multiple message series will show you some helpful insights from the Scriptures that we often overlook in regards to prayer. This series will enrich your life, and deepen the well within you! It is life-changing

Dreaming In Hope

It is five power-packed messages that are going to take you on a journey into the land of dreams and visions at a prophetic, practical, and even psychological level. It will invite you to actually pay attention to the dreams you are dreaming at night. You just might be surprised at what the Lord is revealing in your dream state. Winter is a time when things under the earth go to sleep and dream in anticipation of a Spring when new seeds will be planted in the soil that had been dormant during the season of the cold. It’s time to dream about what wants to happen in the days that lie ahead. The reason is simple: there are both fulfilled and unfulfilled promises in your life. This series will not only warm your heart, it will provide rich insights into the language of the Spirit in relation to dreams and dreaming.

Now Is The Time To Take The Kingdom

I am persuaded that there is coming heaven in this hour, fresh fire and fresh wind. The Breath of God Himself is moving. The Wind blows where it wills. There is a SOUND that accompanies that wind! Blessed are the people that know the joyful sound (Psalm 89:15). It is the fellowship of the Son, the fellowship of the King that changes hearts and minds. It isn’t by an army, it isn’t by political power, it is by the Spirit that God does what He does to conquer the nations. The Gospel WILL prevail! Jesus is seated on the Throne of the Universe, and every enemy is going to be made a footstool for His feet (Psalm 110:1). And the Father is going to use you and me to bring that to pass! Turn your faith loose! In this series, I take you on a journey into the Scriptures and the great conflict of the ages, and the Story of how God who is King, is establishing His Kingdom in the earth through the obedience of faith of the saints. This series on the Kingdom is both a teaching on the nature of the Kingdom and the power of the Kingdom. It will serve to be a powerful learning resource to add to your listening-and-learning library. I pray it makes your hunger for intimacy with God deepen.

Restoring The City, Rebuilding The Culture

How do we rebuild a culture of the Kingdom of God, which by the way is IN THE HOLY SPIRIT not in politics (Romans 14:17), though it will influence the political arena if the Church would simply obey Christ? I think the tools are so obvious that in this current culture of celebrity and entertainment we get intimidated about using them. God is going to bring about a new day of restoration in relation to His Church, the Bride and Wife of the Lamb, so that she can say with the Spirit, “Even so come Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20). We need the power of God the Father’s 3-fold cord that cannot be broken, and if we break the cord we will suffer. What is the Father’s 3-fold cord that has to be honored as held together and never separated if the tools we have been given are to be effective? Ready? The Son The Spirit The Scriptures You cannot, and I cannot separate these three, and sadly beloved, in modern compromised evangelical circles, these three cords are being separated, and the Church is losing its saltiness due to compromise. However, you and I are people who honor the Father’s 3-fold cord. The Scriptures testify of the Son. The Spirit wrote the Scriptures. The Son is the author of the Scriptures. You cannot separate them without losing the presence and power of God. We need to see the hand of the Lord move in this hour. We need to see the restoration of the City of God, the Church!

Wolves and Serpents

Being wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove because He is sending his original 12 into a hostile world is about not being foolish in how they read people (and how YOU read people) and honoring at a gut level by the Spirit what the Spirit witnesses to that is untruthful, deceitful, manipulative, and predatory! For that you need the serpent’s wisdom! Of all things for Jesus to equate with wisdom, is the cunning of the serpent! Remember how cunning the Serpent was with Adam and Eve in the Garden? Jesus is saying you have to use the enemy’s own understanding of things in order to defeat the enemy! When you are in the presence of a wolf, and they are manipulating you for their own purposes realize that they are better at manipulation than you are at discernment, precisely because they know they can take advantage of you being merciful, loving, kind, and compassionate. Some are realizing that there are some relationships they are in at work and even with family members where manipulation and control are wreaking havoc in their lives. These truths are giving them the courage to reclaim their freedom and Christ and set appropriate boundaries, and for some, find exit strategies from toxic and abusive relationships. My prayer for you at this season is that you would allow the Spirit to bring you into all the truth relating to manipulation and coercion, and that you would not be deceived by those whose character is flawed and disordered and whose only interest is to take advantage of you. This is happening far too frequently these days in the culture, and it is creeping into the Church.

If It Matters To You It Matters To God

What is it that matters to you that either your own heart, or that enemy has convince you doesn’t matter to God? Would you be willing to answer that question transparently without fear, knowing it is safe to do so? Never forget… God is concerned about your never enough. God is concerned about the fact that often your resources fall short, and you run out just when you need to have more. God is concerned about how even you’re six days of labor fall short of the rest of the Sabbath that God made for your sake. He cares if you hold have to hold down multiple jobs to make ends meet. Beloved, the print my heart for you in this season is that you will grasp and a greater measure the grace of our Lord Jesus in this simple yet profound awareness that: “if it matters to you, it matters to God!”

The Kingdom of Heaven is Within

The Kingdom of Heaven is Within You: How to Unlock Your Destiny Powers The Lord's Kingdom is within you, and therefore you have the ability to unleash and unlock the DESTINY POWERS within you as well. There are a number of Destiny Powers; this series focuses on these 5: Receiving Divine Guidance Moving in the Obedience of Faith Operating in the Law of Intention Acting "As If" (which is tied to an aspect of the Law of Faith) Fleshing Out Your Destiny and Dreams (which is about the Word becoming flesh in your life by going from your mind and heart all the way into your muscles so that you become unconsciously competent) Discover how to move through each phase of your 5 Destiny Powers to seek fulfillment and authentic happiness in life based on your unique factors.

The Prophetic Spirit

The Veiled Voice of The Accuser

Veiled - disguised: not open or direct, but disguised or suggested Accusation - an allegation that a person is guilty of some fault, offense, or crime; imputation "If” - an indication of perhaps whatever you are being told is untrue "If You are…” - an indication that perhaps you don’t really believe it "If” You are, who You were told, how come you are being allowed to go through what you are going through? "If” You are…do you really have any power at all? It's time to discern the voice of the accuser! Many time times the voice of accusation comes through "common sense" and the "voice of reason" and it feels as if it is coming from within. Let Dr. Mark take you step by step to understand how the voice of accusation can come to hold us back and keep us bound.

Surviving To Thriving

Surviving” is associated with emotional distress and even feeling less than energetic, and sometimes just flat out worn out. When you are in survival mode, you can find that things that normally interest you or used to interest you, no longer hold the excitement they once did. Now we are getting back to the peanut-butter stuck to the roof-of-your mouth stuff that makes life and the moments of life last longer…. Is there in you any (doesn’t have to be all) of the following things: · A deep yearning for “something more”? · Periods of time where you feel “empty”? · Unsettled feelings about different areas of your life? · The absence of the kind of success you anticipated at this point in your journey? · A feeling as though you are just ‘getting by’? · An absence of a sense of direction? · An absence of a sense of purpose (even if at one time there was)? · Areas where you are unfulfilled? · Areas where you have lost interest in what you have known to be what really gave you joy at one time or another? Are you willing to explore the areas of your life where things aren’t quite measuring up? Are you willing to have your faith, hope, and love renewed in Jesus, the One who is “the absence of all things harmful and the presence of all things beneficial”? I am persuaded there is a journey to well-being, total well-being that Jesus has us on, no matter where we may be at the current moment, or what your current reality may be. In this series you will learn how He wills for you to THRIVE and not merely SURVIVE.

The Battle Between True and False Prophecy

We want to be faithful in "rightly dividing the word of truth" and we want to have a firm foundation on which to build an argument for how we discern the prophetic on when it is true and when it is false. I will take you on an in-depth journey as we look at how God raises up true prophets. One prophesies out of the spirit of truth and one prophesies out of the spirit of falsehood. This series will give you the understanding needed as we look at, The Battle Between True and False Prophecy.
