Text: John 12.1-11, 18-2
The first step to discipleship is not a class but a connection.
Bethany- house of figs, a fruitful place, place of affliction
Out of affliction comes fruit. All that we’ve been through is to bring the church to a place of great harvest.
Martha- dominant
Mary- bitter, rebellious
Lazarus- God has ruled
Iscariot- man of murder
Judas Iscariot was possibly Simon Peter’s son. Peter denies the Lord and Judas betrays Him so He has to deal with the generational curses. God has blessed us and we have kept it for ourselves; we are no better than Judas Iscariot, a thief of what God is doing.
There’s always time to do good things and help the poor but now is always the right time to do what God is saying in the moment.
Signs and wonders are a sign to unbelievers on their way to believing in God. Do believers need signs? Everyone coming to God won’t always enter with the right motives.
Today we are holding last year’s harvest. If we eat it, that’s all we’ll ever have. We’ve got to die to the ideas of yesterday to do the thing that God has for us today. God has been plowing the ground. If we plant what God is doing into the earth, only then can it produce a harvest.
Everything on the mind of Jesus is to save the entire world. We need the harvest of God continuously on our minds.
He isn’t just moving, He is with us.

I’ve Come to Start a Fire - Prophet Fred Aguilar

Prophet Fred Aguilar
I've Come to Start a Fire
Text: Luke 12.49-50, Exodus 3.1-3, Leviticus 9.24, 1 Kings 18.30-32, 38
He has come to start a fire in the heartland.
Why do we need a fire?
-More than 33% of online traffic is porn
-25% of online searches are porn related
-Porn hub gained 50 million viewers in 19 days.
-50% of pastors view porn on a regular basis.
-76% of 18-24 year olds actively search for porn
-56% of divorces involve one partner obsessing over porn
It’s time for the church to get back to holiness.
-Josiah generation (under 25)- tore down the high place where the gods of sexual immorality were. This generation will restore holiness.
-Elisha generation (25-55)- receive a double portion of understanding, wisdom, anointing. They will unite the generations and help the Josiah generation when they fall.
-Mordecai generation (55-85)- called to prepare the bride for the groom.
Moses came to understand that the burning bush was not a manmade fire. God’s fire burns away the impure and leaves what has value. It sanctifies, purifies, and makes that which is on fire holy.
Manmade fire requires fuel, wood, a chemical reaction.
God’s fire requires a broken and contrite, repentant spirit.
Both fires require air.
Manmade requires oxygen.
God’s fire requires the breath of God.
God was adamant that the fire burned continuously because it wasn’t manmade but it was man’s responsibility to keep the fire burning.
An altar that doesn’t burn with God’s fire is a pagan altar. What transforms a burning altar to a pagan altar? When the fire is replaced with manmade fire, when God’s grace is replaced with permissive grace that gives no consequences for sin, when the required sacrifices are no longer a sacrifice.
Manmade fire says that if it feels good it must be from God. Manmade fire replaces prayer rooms with fellowship rooms and donuts.
The altars of church will be on fire and people will come to get some of the fire and take it back to where they are from. It will be our responsibility to keep the fire burning.
When we don’t invite people to the altars of repentance, the stones of the altar fall into disrepair. Many churches are not preaching the whole message.
Is your altar in ruins? Is there an altar in your home? Rebuild the altars and make the sacrifices. Let the stones of holiness be laid according to His word and held together with the mortar of intercessory prayer.
Intercessors are not just women, He is looking for men to be spiritual leaders in church and in your home.

Text: John 15.1-2
Open your spirit before you approach His word. Open your heart before you approach His presence.
Knowing Him and knowing about Him are two different things. He’s not hiding from us.
He puts things in order by making a statement. He is the vine, He bridges the gap. He can do what we cannot do.
In order to be pruned, you have to be cut. Pruning is not enjoyable. He wants us to be like Him so some things need to be cut away. Covenant requires cutting.
Revelation comes from abiding. He’s pursuing us. He props us up and takes us away. If we’re not fruitful, we’re removed.
What qualifies as a vine? A plant that climbs. Cut leaves wrap around the vine and become strong to bear fruit. We attach ourselves to the one who cannot fail. We are tied in union.
If you change the rules of abiding to being held, you change the definition. When He calls us to abide, He’s calling us back to union with Him.
He is delighted in you. The things you try to achieve are the things He wants to give you.

The Goodness of God

The Goodness of God
Text: Acts 10, John 1.9, Psalm 52.9, Exodus 33.5-34.7, Romans 2.4
God repeated the vision three times to establish something new, that the common and unclean would no longer be common or unclean in His eyes. Three voices to establish every truth.
God shows no partiality but accepts whoever accepts Him. God is not your enemy. God is working for you and not against you. God wants you to have “it” more than you want “it”.
The enemy will remind you of your past to keep you from everything in your present. Quit hanging on to the residue of yesterday. The longer the grave clothes are on, the stronger you will smell the stench. Entering the inner court means you no longer smell the death of the sacrifices but the smell of the oils and fragrance of the spirit.
Good: approval, better than average, offers favorable results, effective, sufficient, enjoyable, adequate, morally sound, kind, generous, sympathetic
Three aspects of God’s goodness:
-In Genesis, God compared creation to Himself. “This is so good” —> “This so me”
Good: functioning as God intended it to be. We each cause God to dance because He delights in His creation. The only thing God can do is good. Loving like the world doesn’t assure you that all things work together for good but loving God does.
-In Exodus, He made His goodness pass before Moses. The goodness and glory of God are connected. Good: mercy and longsuffering . Sickness and disease are not God putting it on you.
-Goodness is God’s mercy to a broken, fallen creation. Who are we to be worthy of anything God has? Only because of His unfailing love. His mercy endureth forever. The only qualification is faith in what Jesus did.

Accessing the Blessing

Accessing the Blessing
Isaiah 55.1-11, 54.1-17
If you’re not going to walk in freedom and blessing, it’s not God’s fault. He’s already sent the answer, His plan, into the earth.
Come you who are thirsty…water represents the spirit, refreshment, restoring.
Come buy without price….the spent, burnout, beat up, and broken. Milk is nourishment and wine is exhilaration and excitement.
Sing oh barren…it’s time to let go of politics and covid and get our praise back. It’s time to sing again.
Enlarge the place of your tent…it’s time to start expecting it. God is doing it.
It’s time for us to access the blessing.
The book of Isaiah is about prophecy and restoration.
If your focus is how wicked the world is then you will miss how great God is.
As rain and snow comes to the earth and doesn’t go back, it comes to water the earth and to bud and bring seed to the sower, so does the Word.
When we think God isn’t moving, we’re believing a lie.
Jesus came first to conquer the things around us so we could live above it.
He left but He also left His spirit in us, in the earth.
How did God plan for the earth to be taken care of? By seed and harvest. He gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater. Some people are planters and some are eaters.
The first thing that came forth was God’s spoken word. Unplanted seed does no good.
The word is always working, we just can’t see the 100%.

Open Our Eyes

Pastor Zack Strong
Open Our Eyes
Ephesians 1.16-20, Isaiah 42.7, 60.1-3, 61.1-3, Luke 4.16-19, 2 Corinthians 4.1-4, Psalm 146.8
It’s imperative that we see what God sees. See what God is doing so we can take hold of it.
What if everything happening in the world is so that God can fulfill His plan?
We’re all looking for glory to come and God says it’s already here. The glory is Jesus. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of Jesus.
All sickness, disease, trouble, slavery, and bondage is because we are blind to what He has done for us. He came to open our eyes.
We get distracted and discouraged when we can’t see. The enemy has blinded our minds. The only thing that will change it is when the people of God will shine the light on it.
If we’re blind, where are we going? Blind people look for anything to help them survive. Blindness puts us in a beggar situation. We’re blind and don’t know it.
Blindness: destitute of seeing, not able to discern, unable to understand, ignorant, in a place of darkness, to be obscure, inconsiderate, moral depravity
How can we change?
-Matthew 20.31-33 Ask God to see and believe God to open your eyes
-Mark 8.22-26 Why did he see men as trees? A Hebrew sees through creation. Trees make branches and flowers and fruit. Men have the ability to cover like branches, to bring warmth of a fire, to provide nourishment like fruit, to provide beauty like flowers. If you want to see what Jesus sees, you’ve got to walk with Him.
-John 9.1-6 When your eyes are filled with the world, it’s harder to see God. We’ve got to sell ourselves fully into the plan of God.
Don’t look back and get cues from the past. Follow God forward from here.
In Revelation, Jesus’ last words to the church are about being blind. Do we come to church and worship in utter darkness?
God wants to open our eyes.
