The Burden of God

The Secret Place

Do you feel powerless? Does it feel like you’re running on Spiritual Fumes? Are you struggling with your relationship with God? In this message, I address these questions by talking about the secret place. Here’s a quote from a book I’m reading called ‘The Secrets of the Secret Place’: “When you enter a room and shut your door, you're in the presence of your Father. Instantly. Your shut door grants you instant intimacy with the Father. Even if you don't feel that intimacy right away, you can believe Jesus' assurance that it's true. You've just stepped into the Father's chamber. The secret place is your portal to the throne, the place where you taste of heaven itself. When you know you're with your Father, amazing changes will happen inside. You'll thrill with confidence in His nearness. As you reach for Him in faith, you'll actually begin to feel His presence. Your awareness of His presence will strengthen your faith and love.”

The Burden of God

What would it look like if we lived in radical obedience? I believe that the burden of God on our hearts, the compassion that Jesus has for the lost and the broken will lead us to action! Diving into John 11 and looking at what Jesus does when He encounters a dead person.

Would You Rather Stand with the World Against God or Stand with God Against the World?

In this message, I go over James 4 with the theme of "Friendship with the World means Enmity against God". I show a Narnia scene but I cut it out for the pod. I explain how to be sanctified and how we can pursue holiness in certain things. May we be a counter culture people that stands against the ways of the world.

The Reason We Don't Evangelize

In 2 Cor 3:7-4:1 we see that the glory that Moses experienced does not begin to compare to what we have today through the blood of Jesus. Jesus wants to sit with you in the secret place. That is our ministry (2 Cor 4:1). That is our calling. And from that will stem the desire to tell people about your beloved.

Identity in Christ - Sexual Sin

This is a heavy but necessary message. The church has to be louder than the world in this topic. From min 6:30 - 8:30 I’m writing some stats on the board so you can skip! There is freedom in Christ so please reach out to hear my testimony of how I’ve found freedom! 1. The Bible says that you're already free (Rom 6, Gal 4, John 8:36) 2. Know who you are in Christ (2 Cor 5:21, 1 John 1:12) Speak it over yourself and pray it. You are a son. You are a daughter of the most high. 3. Flee to the secret place (Proverbs 7, Gen 39:5-12, Psalm 91:1) It's impossible to beat it just like walking on water. But Peter was able to do the impossible and walk on water as long as he kept His eyes on Jesus. You can do the impossible by fixing your eyes on Jesus in the secret place. 4. Fast God can use fasting for breakthrough! Fasting without prayer does nothing haha. Fast with a purpose / request.
