Search Me

Jesus cuts to the heart of the matter and He does it with a very simple, three letter word: “WHY“.

Jesus is not only the Savior of our heart; He is also the Lord of our heart and He wants to lead us to wholeness, freedom, and life.  The Lord’s discipleship method often involves piercing questions that cut to the heart of the matter in our lives for our good.

In this message, part 2 in “The Heart of The Matter” series, you will learn how to let the Lord Search you and find out why it is so vital to our growth.

The Lord corrects those He loves.  So if we resist His correction, we are truly resisting His love.  Let’s not reject God’s love; let’s open our heart to His love.

I pray this blesses you.  Enjoy!

Diligence unlocks the blessing.  

In order for us to walk in freedom and experience abundance we need to embrace this truth.  In this message,  God is breaking the 3rd yoke in our hearts–the yoke of complacency. To free us God has to work in us before He works outside of us; the victory always begins on the inside.  He has to prepare us for the blessing.

This is not an easy yoke to address but it is so rewarding to confront head on once and for all.  Here is your opportunity.

Enjoy!

Breaking The Yoke of Debt -part 2

God is breaking the yoke of debt.  Not only is God moving to get us out of debt, but He is also working in us to free us from the bondage of the heart, called the yoke of debt.  This is a powerful word from the Lord that is releasing breakthrough in people’s lives here in St. Louis and His word will do the same for you where you are.

I declare that breakthrough is coming soon!  First God will give you victory on the inside and then it will manifest on the outside.  He is going to work it IN you before He works it through you.

And in this message you will hear how to step into that breakthrough–through sacrifice….

Because there is no breakthrough without sacrifice!

Enjoy.

The Lord will restore you completely!

“When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream.” Psalm 126:1

In a season of brokenness and despair, the Lord came to me and promised, “I will restore you completely.” Even though the struggle with depression, hopelessness, fear, and shame did not end immediately, I continued to stand on this promise, flood my heart with God’s word, and cry out to Jesus for deliverance.

Years later, while enjoying the freedom, joy, peace, and confidence in God’s love that had become my “new normal”, I was reminded of God’s promise. I was assured: God had restored me completely.   My faith, calling, joy, intimacy with God, confidence, passion, and more were restored. The many promises God had given me were (and still are) coming to pass in my life. Just to name a few:

He had promised joy and intimacy with God from Isaiah 56:7;

He had promised blessing and confidence from Isaiah 54;

He had promised freedom from Psalm 126;

He had promised hope through Isaiah 60 and 61….

God is faithful. He will do what he promised for you. He will restore you completely. He is the God who hears the cry of your heart and sees your distress (Exodus 3:7-10). He is the God who is with you even in opposition (Genesis 39:21). He is the God who conquered sin and death (Acts 2:24).

Do you remember what God did to the Egyptians? He destroyed them because they were oppressing his people. That is your God. That is the God who loves you and made promises to you. That is the God who made a covenant with you in Christ. Just as He delivered Israel completely, bringing them out of bondage, blessing them financially, teaching them to worship God, and leading them into their promised land, so God will restore you completely. He will heal you inside and out, He will deliver you from all addictions, He will rebuke the devourer of finances and pour out abundant provision on you, He will put confidence in you for your calling, He will fill you with His Spirit, He will break off all fear and shame, he will lead you on the right path, He will be glorified through your life.

So you will declare, when God restores you completely, what David said in Psalm 18:19, “He delivered me because he delighted in me!” And you will sing, “When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouths were filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing…. The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.” Psalm 126:1-3

I encourage you to receive God’s promise TODAY.  Start declaring TODAY; starting singing TODAY.  God is for you!
