What Manner of Man Are You?

Thursday Jul 07, 2022

Pastor Zack Strong

What Manner of Man Are You?

Text: Luke 8.22-25, John 1.1, 14, Joshua 1.8, Luke 4.1, 14

What manner of man is this that even the wind and waves obey Him?

When you get to the other side, you will be confronted with the dominant spirit. He will take us into a new place to set the region and it’s people free.

It’s time for us to start governing our cities, dictating and declaring what happens. God intended us to guide, guard, and govern the land. The enemy will contend with the land just as much as we do.

Wind was created for God. After the fall, the wind became contrary. God’s people are to speak to the wind and tell it who it is.

Rest: cease work or movement, freedom from anxiety and disturbance; peace and rest with the completed work of Jesus

Master: teacher, rabbi, great one, one that is greater than us

-Jesus represents the Word. We have to be people of the Word. Reading the Word is literally feeding on God and taking Him in. Great faith is when the Word is what settles it for us.

-Jesus rested in His true identity as a son of God. Sons have the DNA and attributes of the Father. You carry what He carries- it’s already there. We’ve been called and we’ve been sent. There is purpose in our lives. Just act like Jesus and love people and you will walk right into it.

-Jesus was filled with the Spirit. Don’t be content with being a good church goer but be filled with the Holy Spirit. You won’t be led until you have fully embraced Him. We count the dust from the efforts of our own labor as the glory. When the river is flowing, the boat moves with ease. We know because we have the spirit of God inside of us.

Kneel down, stand up, speak up, and lay down your life.

Yielding vs. Fighting - Amanda Taylor

Thursday Jun 16, 2022

Amanda Taylor

Yielding vs. Fighting / Feasting vs. Digging / Saying Yes vs. Saying No

Text: Revelation 4.1-2, John 12.1-7, Esther 4.10-17

“In” the spirit: referring to fountains, springs, wells, stationary, in a specified position, could be used as a landmark or monument, something at rest

You may have walked your way into what you’ve experienced thus far, but you will have to be carried into what you’re born for.

We treat the word like a magic 8 ball, asking until we find the answer we were looking for. We approach the word looking for confirmation for the decisions we’ve already made. Stop seeking understanding and start seeking Him. Western culture tells us that we have to understand before we believe. Middle eastern culture tells us that we believe first and then understanding comes.

He calls us to lean into the table. Feast on His word instead of digging. Operate out of a posture of rest.

Are you the one anointing Jesus’ feet or the one asking why? Are you experiencing excess worship or offense? Judas could only see the value of the gift but not the value of the recipient. His actions were saying that Jesus was not worth the cost.

What has more value: the things you seek or the One you seek?

The book of Esther starts with someone making a choice that was not Esther. If your approach to leadership is out of chaos instead of rest, then your house will operate out of chaos. The anointing that lives in you is the answer to the unrest and chaos.

Queen Vashti had a feast without the King. He calls her out of her inferior feast up to his feast. He didn’t want her to walk into the banquet; he wanted her to be carried in by the seven eunuchs. The other women also rejected the kings invitation; they were more comfortable in each other’s presence.

Your King wants to carry you into His presence and crown you. Queen Vashti refused to be carried and lost her authority, her inheritance, and her ability to stand before the king.

The only way to be carried is to yield. Yield: to give way to demands and pressure. We celebrate Samson for his strength and hand-to-hand combat as a warrior but Esther is never described as a warrior.

Is the sword our Savior or is Jesus? We celebrate scars but not those who yield and let Jesus fight the battles for them. Esther’s strength was proximity to the king. We think it’s easier to fight a battle than to say yes to God. What other warrior single-handedly stopped a holocaust? Esther did.

Samson had a no vow- to say no to the world. Esther had a yes vow- to say yes to the king.

Samson’s victory was out of line with his vow and covenant. He vowed to touch no dead thing yet fought with the jawbone of a donkey. Samson’s legacy ended with him losing his vision and his own death.

Esther produced through intimacy what Samson could not produce through physical strength. Esther’s legacy saved a nation and her son King Darius II rebuilt the temple.

Sometimes it’s easier to use the sword than the spirit. Sometimes we would rather cut. Samson’s vow was built on resisting but Esther’s vow was built on yielding.

Your worship is connected to the things you yielded to, not the things you resisted.

You may have walked your way into what you’ve experienced thus far, but you will have to be carried into what you’re born for.

The People of the Next Step

Thursday Jun 16, 2022

Pastor Zack Strong

The People of the Next Step

Text: Genesis 1.31-2.3, James 3.3-5

A thousand steps: period of time, a journey

God has your welfare and future in sight. Sometimes the way He takes us through is to avoid warfare. Sometimes He has allowed us to suffer to see if we really trust Him.

The next step is faith. Faith is actually a place of rest. Quit striving to get what He’s already given. Receive what He said you could already have.

The next step is deep intimacy with God and with men. Religion is knowledge of God but intimacy is knowing God. Intimacy calls you to Him; you do things you wouldn’t normally do to be close to the one you love. God never intended us to life on our own.

The next step is speaking the things of the Lord. Our words are controlling the power God has put in us, one way or the other. Are you speaking the word of God or the words of your feelings?

The next step is to sow seeds and be fruitful. You can’t receive a harvest without planting seed.

Receive - Steve Sampson

Thursday Jun 09, 2022

Steve Sampson

Receive

If you’re not receiving, you’re not becoming. It should be normal to hear the prompting of the Holy Spirit. God wants us to receive.

If Jesus paid it all, then there’s nothing left for you to do but to receive. God doesn’t need your performance, just your response.

Marinate: adds flavor and tenderness

Prayer isn’t enough; marinate. Wait for God to speak to you. God and the devil are looking for the same thing: for you to receive and agree with him. God is committed to us receiving him and the devil is committed to us not receiving.

We are abortionists when we let ourselves forget what God has said and believe that it must be for someone else. We need to be more aggressive in receiving and using our authority. We buy in to the enemy too much.

His goal is to do more than just save us but to do a great work in us. Most people don’t reject God for who He is but for who He isn’t. They’re really rejecting religion and not God.

Luke 5.17 It was Jesus’ intention to heal Pharisees that day but they aborted His plans because they got offended.

Will You Be Made Whole?

Thursday Jun 09, 2022

Pastor Zack Strong

Will You Be Made Whole?

Text: John 5.1-13

Whole: all of, entire, in an unbroken undamaged state, complete, comprising the full quantity without compromising size or value, Jesus saying “all that I am”

A lot of people can get close to the move of God but never actually get in it. Do you want “all that I am”? Are you willing to take hold of everything He has for you?

There was a certain time when God stirred the waters…revival is in the earth. We are in the third great awakening. The river of God is being stirred. Now is the time for whosoever to get into the water.

38 years:
30- moment Jesus started His ministry
8- new beginnings

We’ve entered into new day time. We’ve got to get our doubt and unbelief out of the house. We’ve got to declare what the Lord is speaking.

Rise: we’ve got to get sick and tired of where we are and rise above it

Take up your bed: we’re resting in our own bed of brokenness and disappointment. Trouble comes to your because you’re resting in it.

Isaiah 55.10 The first seed released from you is out of your mouth. We were created to be sowers. If there’s fruit from your lips then there is seed coming out of your mouth. The bread that we eat is the harvest that comes from the words we just planted.

We speak what we hear Him doing. You only get what you talk about.
