Elevate Life Church

Pastor Willard continues this series talking to us about how we have to locate where we are at in order for us to possess our promise. He talks to us about how even though we are walking into a season of promise, we still will have to face some battles. God brings us out of slavery to bring us in to our promise land but we have to obey God every step of the way. God has created us for a purpose to do good things! We have to obey God at His command. We have to understand who we are in Christ now and that we are in right standing with God. We have to make sure we don't have a sense of entitlement with God and that He owes us something. We have to protect out heart with gratitude to achieve this! We have to allow God to give us revelation and speak to us. Revelation will cause us to run toward God and carry His fire when He reveals Himself to us! How are you serving God on your own? God doesn't want us to just reach the promise land as individuals, He wants us to reach it with everyone in His Church! In order for us to possess our promise our comfort level must be challenged for us to be fruitful. If we're going through a battle, could it be that's where God wants us to be to go into our promise land? We have to recognize who is in front of us in our life so we can experience freedom in Him. Just Go with God and obey!

Pastor Sergio continues his series talking about how Jesus brought us out of slavery to bring us into our promise! Heaven is not the destination, it's the reward. If we just got saved and go to Heaven, what about the years we are here on the earth? Jesus didn't save us from sin and slavery to leave us in the wilderness! Life isn't just about getting our needs met. When we're not not fulfilled in Him, we turn into a complainer. We can't keep complaining or we'll miss our promise! Complaining takes the vision off of our promise. Comfort cannot fulfil us. There are things that have to happen before we can contend for our next promise. We have to progress from the food of bondage to the food of Revelation. When we get to Revelation, God opens up the windows of Heaven and provides clarity! When we feast on His Word we have to act on His word so we can activate it. Most of what God has us do isn't for us, it's for others.

Happy Easter! Pastor Sergio talks to us about how when we are living in a way that is contrary to God's Word, we are enemies of God. Thankfully, we have all been reconciled through Jesus! God's love is amazing, we can't qualify or earn it, He loves us even when we're doing things contrary to His Word! We can't doubt His Word. There were 7 types of people that showed up to hear Jesus teach in the Bible and doubted, are you one of these 7 types? We have to make sure we live under the Lordship of Jesus. To receive Jesus as our Lord, we have to submit to His Word! We have to be known by our fruits, not by our church attendance! If we're a follower of Jesus, we can tell by how we talk, how we live and where we go. We can't reduce Jesus to just our golden ticket to Heaven. We have to adjust our heart to know the real reason we serve Jesus, is to serve Jesus!
