What a missed opportunity it is to live a life that never aligns with the divine purpose of God.  Often times the Lord gives us the end at the beginning of our lives without ever telling us how He is going to get us there.  Take the time to reject your own will so that you can become His.

God purposely gives us the end without giving us the plan.  The honest truth is that if the Lord showed us the process that it takes to get to the end that most of us would abandon the destination.  Remember Joseph was even shown the throne and even feeding his brothers from the throne.  However, God never showed Joseph that in order to sit on the throne and feed his brothers that it would require him being sold into slavery and being rejected by his very own brethren.  Remember to never lean on your own understanding but acknowledge Him in all of your ways and He shall direct your paths according to the Word of God.   Be sure to share this podcast and visit Emmanuel Church's social media platforms.  Praise God for your continued partnership with us here at Emmanuel Church where we encounter Christ!

This is the year that Jesus has really began to expose anyone and anything that is not like Him.  His coming is beyond closer than when we first believed.  Darkness should never stand a chance in the presence of God's people.  The days of moving in ungodly secrecy without anyone knowing are over regardless of title, status or position!  Jesus said, "For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open;" Luke 8:17 (NIV).

Out with the old and in with the new!  Except the new is not what's new in your eyes but in the eyes of the Almighty.  Year after year for so many becomes a chaotic circle of counterproductive disciplines that do us more harm than good.  Let 2024 be a year ordained by the Lord with great expectation and faith in His ability and not our own.   Be sure to share this podcast and visit Emmanuel Church's social media platforms.  Praise God for your continued partnership with us here at Emmanuel Church where we encounter Christ!

The story of the woman with the issue of blood is a known throughout Christianity.  Seemingly we tend to focus only on her healing with little regard to the issues she faced well beyond her hemorrhaging.  God only knows how many times she had to fight off the voice of the enemy to get into the presence of Jesus Christ.  The only way we become victorious in fighting a word the enemy speaks against us is speaking the Word of God that is for us.

Every Christian around the world loves to speak on the armor of God.  Notice that Paul never mentions the armor of God until the very last chapter of Ephesians.  This is because he spends five chapters of training and development before the armor is even mentioned.  Armor indicates that it is time for wear.  Unfortunately most Christians believe that they can suit up and battle without being trained by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said, "Blessed is the man who hungers and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled".  To hunger after anything else in this life is pointless.  Allow the person of the Holy Spirit to check your appetite ensuring that you only crave the things of Him.

Sometimes our emotions can truly get the best of us.  God has given the creation the ability to feel certain things and certain ways within ourselves.  The issue is when our emotions begin to override the voice of the Holy Spirit as we navigate through life.  God will help us to manage these emotions to prevent us from going overboard and making instant decisions with eternal consequences.  The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles; Psalm 34:17.     Be sure to share this podcast and visit Emmanuel Church's social media platforms.  Praise God for your continued partnership with us here at Emmanuel Church where we encounter Christ!

The break down of the family is truly what has caused the breakdown of our society and our nation.

It's not until life hits the very bottom that we understand the great need we have for Jesus to intervene.  When His supernatural comes in contact with our natural there is absolutely no limit to what the Father is capable of doing.  Prodigal living is more than just squandering finances but prodigal attitudes are just as damaging even in the presence of the Father.

Satan has been instilling fear in the heart and minds of Christians since his fall from heaven to earth.  Unfortunately fear has crippled and neutralized many of God's people.  How you respond to the roaring of the enemy will determine whether you can be devoured or not.  Treat fear like the spirit that it is and fight it with the Holy Spirit.

Anything good eventually will run into problems whether marriage, business or even ministry.  Even the early church faced challenges and with Jesus Christ they were able to push through.  Legalism has been the church's kryptonite then and now and must be stopped at all cost.  Pull on God during these times not to take you around the dilemma but to carry you out through the other side so that you experience a truth that will make you free.  Be sure to share this podcast and visit Emmanuel Church's social media platforms.  Praise God for your continued partnership with us here at Emmanuel Church where we encounter Christ!

Many Christians have lost their passion and really need to get the fire back!  As Jesus is evaluating the churches of the apocalypse He addresses one in particular who's abandoned their first love.  The answer Jesus says is to simply do what you did at first when you originally fell in love.  Get your fire back in this season of life and allow the the Lord to use you without regret.  Be sure to share this podcast and visit Emmanuel Church's social media platforms.  Praise God for your continued partnership with us here at Emmanuel Church where we encounter Christ!

In one breath Jesus gives Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven and in the next He tells Satan to get behind Him!  Peter allowed the mindset of the world to interfere with the ultimate plan of Almighty God.  What are you allowing to get in your way that has removed your focus from the Kingdom of God?

How many times have we listened to our own voice over the voice of the Holy Spirit?  The Holy Spirit isn't just power but He is power plus intelligence!  The Holy Spirit gives you advice based on your past, present and future even in spite of truly knowing who you are.  Stop ignoring His voice because you think you have it all figured out.  Lay down your intelligence in exchange for His!  "Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try and figure out everything on your own.  Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He's the one who will keep you on track; Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG)".

The church of today does a great job in preaching about victory, and prosperity and about how to live blessed.  Never are we engaged with biblical conversation that surrounds pain and crushing.  Let us like the apostle Paul join Jesus Christ in the fellowship of His sufferings and in the power of His resurrection.  Just remember that the power comes only after we have been crucified by and through Jesus Christ.  Allow the Holy Spirit to use this message to minister and inspire your soul!

Many American Christian churches are chasing the blueprint of another ministry that was tailored made specifically for that church.   Sadly on an individual level there are many American Christians who are chasing the blueprint of another person that has also been tailor made by God for that specific individual.  Jesus Christ Himself has called us the workmanship of His glory!  This means we have to be okay that our blueprint and destiny does not look like the person next to us.  Allow this message to minister to your spirit in whatever season of life you may be in!  Be sure to share this podcast and visit Emmanuel Church's social media platforms.  Praise God for your continued partnership with us here at Emmanuel Church where we encounter Christ!

When you peek into the life of Jesus Christ you realize quickly that He never lived a rushed life.  He was walking when he met Levi, He was walking off the shore towards the paralytic and He was walking on the way to the grave of Lazarus.  If we serve a Jesus that never rushed why are we living such rushed lives?  The only medicine that will ever fix God's people and cure the sickness of this world is being in the presence of Jesus Christ!   Be sure to share this podcast and visit Emmanuel Church's social media platforms.  Praise God for your continued partnership with us here at Emmanuel Church where we encounter Christ!

The Kingdom of Heaven is not only God having supernatural dominion in the realm of the Spirit but the will of God being executed here on earth.  Jesus said, "Since the days of John the Baptist that the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence and the violent take it by force".  This means that when the Kingdom of Heaven advances so do the attacks against it.  This is a tug-of-war of sorts that requires a foundation embedded in prayer and an abundant dependency in Jesus Christ.  Be sure to share this podcast and visit Emmanuel Church's social media platforms.  Praise God for your continued partnership with us here at Emmanuel Church where we encounter Christ!

Unfortunately there is brand of Christianity that exist in America which surrounds itself around the pursuit of wealth and health.  Many believers have become sinfully anxious to obtain these things and associate them as a sign of being blessed by God.  The marks of ministry are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, we who mourn over sin and the poor in spirit.  There are not defined by the country club you are a part of, the clothes you wear, the automobiles you drive and the house that you live in.  Wake up America and begin to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness; Matthew 6:33 (NIV).  Be sure to share this podcast and visit Emmanuel Church's social media platforms.  Praise God for your continued partnership with us here at Emmanuel Church where we encounter Christ!

One of the wisest things we can ever do as God's people is to allow Him to fight for us.  All throughout scripture we witness men and women who overstepped their boundaries and got way ahead of God.  The Lord has promised us that if we acknowledge Him in all of our ways, trust Him and never lean on our own understanding that He would direct our paths; Proverbs 3:5 (NIV).

This book of Judges illustrates the stark contrast between God's faithfulness and the Israelites apostasy.  The story of Samson and Delilah often times highlights his strength and anointing without ever considering his attraction to the unclean.  These scriptures clearly expose how the enemy desires to kill what represents God while keeping God's people in bondage.

America has really gotten itself into a mess the last few decades.  We as a nation once lived from the foundation of Almighty God, in the visible with liberty and justice for all.  This nation will never be fully healed until we allow Jesus Christ to be our king.  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land; 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV).
