The Vision (Seeing into the Prophetic part 2) 11/15/14
Wednesday Feb 04, 2015

“Some people change because of vision: Most change because of pain.”-KYLO
Vision gives us both direction and drive to achieve our calling. It’s the very vehicle and catalyst God uses to change things
He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper.
Vision creates a Kingdom Wealth Mentality for our future, our community, the things we are responsible for, and for our time energy and resources.
By Being kingdom people we become salt (preservers) and light(illuminators)
Many of us spend our entire life operating outside of the calling and purposes intended for us. This could be done as easily as a subconscious response to making changes to achieve goals or/and fear of what God has for us.
We must first see how God sees us to understand the purpose of our individual design. We need vision. We need to see into the prophetic.
The primary purpose of prophetic ministry and Christians as a whole is to draw out the gold of people's lives.
We hold the keys to the hearts of a royal priesthood.
Luke 15 (the story of the prodigal son)
The father represents God who freely gives his sons to join the family business or do something else. Despite the prodigals shortcomings he restores him. The father gives the robe(identity) the ring (authority) the sandal (purity)
Here we see a God who isn't mad but seeks to restore identity and authority.
We see a invitation to our identity and calling.
Though the story is a reminder of not only God’s attitude towards us but our attitude to each other.The church needs fathers not older brothers
Elder brothers compete with the people they are suppose to be leading, Fathers seek to restore the people they serve. They see people as treasures that belong to God. And God gave everything so he can buy that treasure.
Matthew 13:44-52
44“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
47“Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51“Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.
“Yes,” they replied.
52He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
You are a treasure! We need draw out the destiny of people. This is the vision. This is the primary purpose of the church.

Shift in our world Part 2 of 3 11/22/14

Friday Jan 30, 2015
We are living in a time of a great shift in the church where we will witness a modern day reformation. With the increase of people walking away from the church, many believers are looking further into the nature of the gospel and the heart of it’s message. This is causing a re-engaging with those who are outside of the church to hear the gospel in a different light for the first time in their lives. This is causing many Christians to re-look at how we fulfill The Great Commission. We look at Acts 8 to see how we help shift the church. Each generation has the opportunity to be like Philip and fulfill the vision God has for them. It’s our job to recognize the time and season we live in, so that we can help facilitate the work God is doing now. It was the destiny of the people of Israel leaving Egypt to enter the promised land and conquering it. It was their stubbornness that forfeited an entire generations destiny (except for Caleb and Joshua.) We are given the same opportunity now.

Kingdom Revolution 1/24/15
Tuesday Jan 27, 2015
Tuesday Jan 27, 2015
Acts 21 and Acts 22
Every great move of God is has been met with resistance. It often has two sides pressing in. Those who are your target audience “the world”, the ones that God is trying to reach, that resists. Those who are suppose to have your back. Those who are on “God’s side” and should be following God’s move but resist it because they are often content with what they have built. You literally can read the struggle between the New Covenant believers and the Old covenant believers. The Law vs The Gospel of Grace. This tension is not relieved until the temple of Jerusalem is finally destroyed. Paul repeatedly tried to reach the Jews to the point of frustration sometimes Acts 19)
We live in a time when the earth groans for the revealing of the sons of God we are a generation of God’s people being equipped to fulfill our destiny. We live an a time
of such intensity.We support a kingdom of light and truth.
We are the leaders of the revolution.
We are a liability
We are dangerous
Will we live in such a way that shakes kingdoms and ushers in His reign?

Encounter (1/17/15)
Monday Jan 19, 2015
Monday Jan 19, 2015
Our calling as Christians is to encounter God through the power of the holy spirit and allow his visible presence to transform our lives. By allowing the holy spirit to move in our lives we build a testimony that others see and are drawn to. That's evangelism. Encountering him and being transformed. In Luke 19 we see an encounter with Jesus bring about repentance and reconciliation. In Matthew 26 we read an encounter with Jesus develop intimacy and spring forth ministry naturally.We must learn to leave room for God to move in our lives to build and confirm our faith. His word creates the path we walk to change and transform our community. Christianity is not intended to be lived without the transforming power of the holy spirit encounter.

Matthew 9:35-37
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
Matthew 14:14
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd; he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Matthew 20:34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

In this message we look at Daniel 7:13-28 at the prophetic word of Jesus' birth and reign. These verses build expectation and anticipation of Jesus' coming both then and today.
We also look at Luke 1 and the song of Zechariah to read the fulfillment of John's birth and promise. As we prepare to celebrate the fulfillment of God's promise to rescue us.

Has God been a means to an end in our lives? 1/10/15
Monday Jan 12, 2015
Monday Jan 12, 2015
This week we look at the story of Jacob (Gen ch:27-30) and David (1 Chronicles ch:16-19) and their relationships with God. One who spent much of his life seeking his own advancement and another who saw God as a prize and not a stepping stone.
We live in a culture that flashes fame and fortunate at us at every opportunity. Has our faith in God become corrupted by our prison culture?. Or has God become enough for us?
