The Bible (Pt 3) Jul 24, 2023

Stephanie Roberts shares in week 3 of The Bible. Learn to live what the Bible says. When we live according to the Word, we live in the freedom Jesus bought and paid for us to live in.

The Bible (Pt 1) Jul 09, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Man can try to deconstruct it, but God's Word is INDESTRUCTIBLE. It's eternal! Join us for the next three weeks as we deep dive into how the bible works, who it's for, and how to use it in your life.

The Snare of CARE! | Deryck Frye Jul 02, 2023

The Local Church (PT3) Jun 27, 2023

Speaker: Earl Darlington concludes our Local Church series

The Local Church PT2 Jun 20, 2023

Josh Roberts June 19, 2023

The Local Church (Pt1) Jun 12, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | The Church is not a building; it's a group of individuals who have placed their faith in Jesus. "You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:5 ESV)"

I am (Pt 4): The Life Jun 05, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | So many people are settling for “existing” on this earth. They wander, clumped together, following each other with no purpose, pleasure, or signs of life. However, when we walk with Jesus, there comes a new vitality — a superabundance of life. The life that God intends for you is more than you can handle, beyond what you can imagine, and will never compare with any natural blessing. It’s BEYOND what you need.

I am (Pt 3): The Truth May 30, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | From the outset of humanity, the enemy's agenda is to distort what God has spoken to mankind and create a false reality in which the truth is objective. Therefore, we as believers must ask the Lord for spiritual discernment, be proactive in studying the truth in scripture, and spend more time with the Holy Spirit.

I am (Pt 2): The Way May 22, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | The world tells us that there are many ways o reach God or heaven, that you can go to church, simply be a good person, follow a list of do’s and don’ts, or do whatever is right in your own eyes. However, the Bible says something very different: that there is ONE way.

I Am (Part 1) | Josh Roberts May 15, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Many Christians have a second-hand relationship with Jesus instead of knowing Him personally. But when we do know Him, w have a power that we inherit as we hold Him as THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE.

Got Milk? | Tom Kiessling May 08, 2023

Speaker: Tom Kiessling | With that new life comes a DESIRE FOR THE WORD, spiritual hunger! "Like newborn babies [you should] long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may be nurtured and grow in respect to salvation [its ultimate fulfillment], if in fact, you have [already] tasted the goodness and gracious kindness of the Lord." —1 Peter 2 verse 2-3 AMP

Get Out of the High Chair | Hal Hardy May 01, 2023

Guest Pastor Hal Hardy joins IFC from Highlands Church. | Someone who is truly “spiritually mature” has a growing relationship with God. It’s never done. It’s continually growing.

Identity | Josh Roberts Apr 24, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Protecting your identity is imperative like never before. There is a battle waging for your identity and the enemy would love to keep you from discovering who you really were created to be. If He can lie to you and convince you that you are something you are not, you will never achieve God's plan for your life.

What is Water Baptism? | Josh Roberts Apr 19, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Water baptism is a symbol of Christ's burial and resurrection. Our entrance into the water during baptism identifies us with Christ's death on the cross, His burial in the tomb, and His resurrection from the dead. Water baptism signifies a brand new life: It is a symbol of your new life as a Christian.

Easter Sunday at IFC | 2023 Apr 11, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Wishing you and your family a Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Open Your Mouth With a Mighty Decree PT2 Mar 27, 2023

Speaker: Tom Kiessling |

New Wine, New Vessels (P.2) | Josh Roberts Mar 21, 2023

2023 is the year for us to courageously step into something new that will not fit into our old ways of doing things. As we anticipate what God wants to do with the rest of this year, it will require refreshing our spirits, souls, and bodies. It will require a change in us as God's vessels and an expansion of our hearts.

Joel chapter 2 verses 28-29 “It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. Even on the male and female servants, I will pour out My Spirit in those days.”

New Wine, New Vessels | Josh Roberts Mar 15, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | When Jesus gave the parable of the wineskins to the Pharisees in Luke 5, He was telling them that doing what He has come to do will require a new kind of vessel. This new skin represents a new body as we die to our old selves, and the new wine symbolizes a new spirit: the Spirit of God in us. Jesus answered not only what kind of teacher He is, but what kind of disciples He is making, and ultimately, why He is doing things the way He is: He is challenging them to think differently - New is Necessary.

Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19

Healthy Circles | Tom Kiessling Mar 06, 2023

Speaker: Tom Kiessling

Healthy Things Grow, Growing Things Change Mar 01, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Love All, Serve All (P. 3) The world's philosophy on growth or personal development only benefit you. Spiritual growth and development always benefit others. MARK 10:35 Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not to be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for many who are held hostage.”

Saved People Serve People Feb 21, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Nothing reveals how the Lord has transformed us like serving others does. When we serve others, it changes our dull lives into extraordinary legacies.

Found People Find People Feb 13, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Heaven rejoices when the lost are found – when a sinner is rescued from hell – when a soul turns to God. Therefore, our mission is the same as the mission of Jesus: That found people find people.

Vision Sunday 2023 | Josh Roberts Feb 06, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts |

VISION DOES 3 THINGS….

1. Gives clarity and a picture of the future.

2. Sets boundaries and provides a sense of purpose.

3. Empowers us to take action.

This year as a church, our focus involves seeing people saved and empowering those who get saved to serve others.

The Great GoMission | Mark Brazee Jan 30, 2023

Speaker: Mark Brazee | The modern church has the same call as the early church: The Great "Go-Mission." Like the early church, God doesn't have a money problem when it comes to sending out those to do His will. He has a people problem.

Yielding to the Holy Spirit Jan 23, 2023

Speaker: Josh Roberts | In everyday matters, we should recognize that the Holy Spirit has insight that we don’t have, and we need to give Him a place to speak! By yielding to God in the little things, we train ourselves to be led by Him so we don't wreck in the most important things.

Prayer School | Session 2 Jan 19, 2023

Speaker: Tom Kiessling | The WIND of the Spirit can only be discerned by having a prayer life. As we cultivate the spirit of prayer and become familiar with His voice, we develop our ability to know, by the Spirit. the things that God wants to do in our lives.

Open Your Mouth With a Mighty Decree Jan 17, 2023

Speaker: Tom Kiessling | As we move into Prayer and Fasting as a church, it's important to remember the power given to us when we speak out loud over ourselves and our situation. As fasting moves our flesh out of the way, amplifies what God says to our spirit man, and our eyes fix back on Jesus, we then BOLDLY pray out those words.

"I am your only God, the living God. Wasn't I the one who broke the strongholds over you and raised you up out of bondage? Open your mouth with a mighty DECREE; I will fulfill it now, you'll see! The words that you speak, so shall it be!" Psalm 81:10 TPT

Prayer School | Session 1 Jan 12, 2023

Speaker: Tom Kiessling | How do we pray? Is God really listening? What's speaking in tongues? In this three-part prayer school, we will unpack how to use the gift of prayer and tap into the power of the Holy Spirit.

Hope is Born Dec 18, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | The story of the Birth of Jesus

Pilgrimage to Worship Dec 12, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Are you seeking the Lord in this season or have you let yourself grow weary? Like the wise men, we should be on a pilgrimage in search of the King. A Pilgrimage is often used to describe an individual's journey through life and sometimes used as a general description of personal growth and exploration. Key Verse: Matthew 6:33

Taste and See Dec 05, 2022

Speaker: Tom Kiessling | Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Fear the LORD, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the LORD will lack no good thing. (Psalm 34:8-10 NLT) God, Himself declares His goodness, and you should declare it over your own life!

Generosity Speaks PT 2 Nov 28, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | GENEROSITY SPEAKS — The time, talent and treasure God has blessed us with are to be used to bless others. Living a generous life expands our worldview and motivates us to be like Jesus.

Labor Pains Nov 21, 2022

Speaker: Bishop Brian Greene | In order to get through the labor pains, you have to P.U.S.H.! It’s not always though PRAYING Until Something Happens, sometimes it's PRAISING until something happens, because God always keeps His promises. If He said it, he will do it!

Generosity Speaks Nov 14, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Tithing is not being generous; tithing returns the first fruits to God. GENEROSITY is everything you do after you tithe. The time, talent, and treasure, that God has blessed us with are to be used to bless others. By choosing to live a generous life, our worldview expands, and we are motivated to be like Jesus. Psalm 92 : 12 NIV "The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon."

YoungGuns | "I'm at My Best When..." Nov 09, 2022

Young Gun: a young person who is successful or who is expected to be successful; assertive and self-confident. Five of IFC's young adults, ages 18-28, finish the phrase: "I'm at my Best When" and share how God has transformed them into their very best.

The Wind of the Holy Spirit PT 2 | Josh Roberts Oct 31, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Many people get caught up in praying for the WHAT when they should be praying for the WHO. We find ourselves praying for situations, opportunities, objects, people, etc, instead of simply praying for HIM to show up. HE is the wind, the Breathe of God.

The Wind of the Holy Spirit Oct 26, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | No matter what the call on your life may be, you are dead in the water without the wind of the Holy Spirit blowing into your sails. The Holy Spirit is the power needed for forward momentum in your life.

Acts 1:8 AMP — But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

Vision Sunday Remix Oct 17, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Vision leaks, but now is the time to finish the 4th quarter strong! To fulfill our 2022 mandate of “Stay the Course, Full Speed Ahead” we must continue to make the Word our diode and allow the Spirit to fuel us. “Full Speed Ahead” means to do something with as much speed or energy as possible; to go with enthusiasm, vigor, or energy into whatever task is being undertaken.

The Secret Sauce for Better Relationships and Less Stress Oct 11, 2022

Speaker: Chip Judd | Wouldn't it be great if our #1 GOAL in life aligned with our #1 NEED in life and with God's #1 INTENTION for our life?

Philippians 3:12-14 "Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

Not of this World PT3 Oct 04, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. For everything that God has sent you to do, He has already provided the tools (Holy Spirit, Favor, Anointing, Wisdom) to get it done.

Not of This World PT2 Sep 26, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Just as Jesus was sent to earth with a purpose, YOU have been created and "sent" with a purpose. Your purpose goes beyond your life here on earth, your life has ETERNAL implications.

ROMANS 12:2 AMPC "Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]."

Not of This World Sep 19, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Jesus was sent to this earth with a purpose and a mission. He wasn’t sent to check on things... He was sent to restore things. Key Scripture: JOHN 17:14-19 MSG

Strengthening Your Walk in School and College Sep 13, 2022

Speaker: Earl Darlington | As the academic year begins, many Christians find that their spiritual walk begins to suffer because they had not predetermined to strengthen their walk with God before entering this new season. As a result, they let life around them dictate their attitudes and behaviors rather than Biblical principles. Pastor Earl Darlington brings a 5-point charge for strengthening your Christian walk this school year.

Benevolent Detachment Sep 04, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | "Benevolent detachment" is the ability to let it go and walk away in kindness and love (emotionally, soulfully), and turn things over to Jesus.

Key Verses:

• 3 John 2: Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

• John 7: 37-38 He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said.

The Prosperous Soul (Part 2) Aug 28, 2022

Speaker: Tom Kiessling

God wants your soul to prosper, but first, we must be anchored to The Word.

Deuteronomy 32:1-4 NLT “Listen, O heavens, and I will speak! Hear, O earth, the words that I say! [2] Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants. [3] I will proclaim the name of the LORD; how glorious is our God! [4] He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is!

The Prosperous Soul Aug 21, 2022

Speaker: Tom Kiessling | God wants you to prosper both in the physical and in the supernatural. He wants our SOUL to prosper, to be well, to be whole.

Running on Empty Aug 14, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Our lives are wired to warn us when things run low (low fuel, low battery). Although we can set alarms and warning signs for things that naturally get low, how do you do that for your spirit?

We have to rely on the power of God to prevail so that we can maintain a FULL spirit and a healthy soul!

The Well Of Life Aug 07, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | The Well of Life isn't something we build, it's something we draw from that resides inside of us. But you can only draw up what you put in! What's filling your soul today?

Family Values Jul 31, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

Family Values - values passed on from generation to generation within families that pertain to the family's structure, function, roles, beliefs, attitudes, and ideals.

Why have family values? Values serve as the guard rails for the Vision you have for your family!

The Happy Place Jul 24, 2022

Speaker: Tom Kiessling |
To be planted like a tree means we are watered with the water of the WORD. Having daily devotional life is the key to overcoming fear and anxiety because joy comes from the Lord. He is our Happy Place!

When Lightning Strikes Jul 17, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts | Have you ever faced a situation that just knocked you to the ground? Many know exactly what it feels like to have an unexpected lightning strike in your life, but no matter what circumstance comes your way, you can know that you have been empowered to get back up.

Committed to Community Jul 10, 2022

Guest Speaker: Hal Hardy | Worldly culture values options and convenience, but Godly culture values commitment and sacrifice.

The Church is at its Best When Jul 03, 2022

Speaker: Deryck Frye

Why We Serve Jun 27, 2022

Speaker: Stephanie Roberts

Christianity is supposed to be about me becoming more and more like Jesus, not my own desires and preferences, not what is convenient for me. There is no perfect church, organization or leader and no Savior but Jesus. Perfect church is the one God has called you to.

Mark 10: 42-45
42 So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them.
43 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,
44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else.
45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

The Servant's Heart Jun 22, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

When we accept Christ into our lives there should be a progression of changes that takes place in our life. Our life begins to be changed into the image and likeness of Jesus.

2 Corinthians 3:18 (TLB)
But we Christians have no veil over our faces; we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him.

Jesus lived the life of a servant. God who came to earth as a man to serve humanity. When we follow Him we transform from wanting to be served to how can I serve others.

Saved People Serve People Jun 16, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

Galatians 5: 13 (TPT)
Beloved ones, God has called us to live a life of freedom. But don’t view this wonderful freedom as an excuse to set up a base of operations in the natural realm. Constantly love each other and be committed to serve one another. For all the law can be summarized in one grand statement:“Demonstrate love to your neighbor, even as you care for and love yourself.”

Our value isn't found in what you can accumulate but what you can give and serve others. True fulfillment comes when we are focused on how we can serve others.

Faith Foundations - Faith Stands Jun 08, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

Ephesians 6:10-14 NIV
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then...

The question always comes up, "How long do you have to stand?" You stand until you win!

"When do you win?" When you don't have to stand anymore – when you get what you are believing for. If you're tired of standing, stand some more.

Faith Foundations - Faith Acts May 31, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

It's important to speak what you see in your heart, but it can't stop there. Faith must be acted upon.

James 2:14- 18 MSG
14-17 Dear friends, do you think you’ll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, “Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!” and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup—where does that get you? Isn’t it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense?

18 I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, “Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.”Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove.

Faith Foundations - Faith Sees and Speaks May 24, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

The quality of your life is determined by the foundations you use to build your life upon.

Romans 10:17 - Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

You have to hear God's Word before you can believe it. Then as you believe it, you begin to see things through the eyes of faith.

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith sees the end result before it can be seen in the natural realm.

Faith Foundations - Believing & Hearing May 18, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

Foundations - Principles upon which something stands or is supported / an underlying base or support / the basis or groundwork of anything:

Your quality of life is determined by the foundations you use to build your life upon.

Matthew 7: 24 TPT
24 “Everyone who hears my teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation.
25 When the rains fell and the flood came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation.
26 “But everyone who hears my teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27 When it rained and rained and the flood came, with wind and waves beating upon his house, it collapsed and was swept away.”

Enthusiasm Makes the Difference Apr 27, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

God's desire for us is that we live with intense and eager enjoyment. Spiritual enthusiasm isn't something you work up. It's not a product of your environment. It's a posture of your heart. Enthusiasm is born in the presence of God by the power of God.

I Corinthians 15: 57-58 NLT
57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

The Power of the Resurrection - Easter 2022 Apr 19, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

Why is Easter Sunday is one of the most celebrated days in the Christian faith? It's the day we come together to remember that Jesus is who He said He is and He did what He said He would do!

Power of the Invite Pt 4 - Who's Your Ray? Apr 12, 2022

Part 4: Who's Your Ray?
Josh Roberts

Many people today have lost hope. They have lost their ability to see the future and have given up on their dreams. There is a responsibility on the local church to restore hope to the hurting, healing to the broken and light to the lost.

Romans 10: 13-15
13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

Power of the Invite Pt 3 - No Perfect People Allowed Apr 05, 2022

Part 3: No Perfect People Allowed
Josh Roberts

Romans 3:23-24 MSG
For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we’ve compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.

Power of the Invite Pt 2 - Chariot Chaser Mar 30, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

"A world you refuse to enter is a world you will never reach." - Jonathan Del Turco

How do we take advantage of opportunities to share Christ with the people around us in our everyday lives?

Power of the Invite Mar 21, 2022

Speaker: Josh Roberts

Jesus didn't see people for who they were. He saw them for who they could be. He saw potential in everyone. We are supposed to do the same thing. We are to call out the greatness in those around us.

Just Jesus Mar 14, 2022

My behavior and attitudes change the more I get to know Jesus, the more I come to understand who He is and how much I need Him in my life. The more I come to know my Heavenly Father, the more I want to be like Him, I want to act like Him, I want to say what He says. When I know Jesus, I trust His plan for my life. I trust His Word and the guidelines He has put in place.

Friends Mar 08, 2022

Every believer would do great to have a circle of friends that are passionate about Jesus! Godly friends are nurturing and bring out the best in you. Godly friends are essential, they promote godly values and help build character. Godly friends are life giving, they bring joy and happiness in your life.

Stay Full in Your Relationships Feb 27, 2022

When we talk about “being full” in our relationships, we're not talking about quantity, but rather quality. It's about lasting relationships. Relationships that are Authentic and built upon principles found in Gods word.

Proverbs 12: 26
The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

Proverbs 13: 20
Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.

Stay Full of the Spirit Feb 21, 2022

The most powerful message to an unbeliever is the message of Jesus.

The most powerful message to a believer is the Holy Spirit.

Acts 1: 8 (AMP): But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

So how can you stay full of the Spirit?

Stay Full of the Word Feb 14, 2022

The life of a believer was never meant to run on half empty. Refuse to settle for “good” when “great” is attainable. God’s plan for us as His children is that we live “full lives” - lives full of the Word, full of the Spirit, and full in our relationships with others.

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. - Matthew 6:33 NLT

Stay the Course - Full Speed Ahead Feb 08, 2022

What does it mean to stay the course?

"Stay The Course" - originated as a nautical metaphor on maintaining a constant, unaltering course while navigating. To continue with a process, it means to pursue a goal regardless of any obstacles or criticism.

Vision Jan 31, 2022

We have natural eyes that allow us to see things. In fact, the only organ more complicated that the eye is the brain. But what about spiritual vision? What about God-inspired vision? What about things that we see in our hearts or in our spirits that have yet to happen?
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish.

Living a Spirit-filled Life Jan 11, 2022

You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body.
Galatians 5: 16-17 AMP - But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts]. 17 For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the sinful nature; for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in direct opposition to each other [continually in conflict], so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do.

8 The LORD is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and great in mercy.

[4] And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires. [5] In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God's promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence.

12 For he who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Circle Makers Jan 24, 2021

There is nothing God loves more than keeping promises, answering prayers, performing miracles and fulfilling dreams. That is who He is. That is what He does and the bigger the circle we draw, the better, because God gets more glory.

Leave it, Let it Drop Jan 18, 2021

Mark 11:25 Amp

What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do Aug 27, 2018

Things that disqualify us from winning the prize.

1. Attitude

2. Speech

3. Conduct

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NKJV

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
