The Word Becomes Flesh

When we truly believe the Word and do what Jesus teaches, we become a witness for Him.  The Word becomes flesh in us and we can move in the authority He moved in.  We have this truth in an earthen vessel that needs to be broken so the glory can shine through. Scripture: 1 John 2:15-16, Mark 6:14-26

Born of God

We are the offspring of God, why do we live at a level lower than that?  We’re born of God but the church has a dysfunctional attitude about the flesh coming into righteousness.  Christ is meant to be manifested through us in authority and power but we have to let out lives be altered by God.  Acts 9:1-12, John 1:8-13, 1 John 3:2-16

Righteousness & Love (1 John)

The Bible tells us that we have righteousness by faith – but we are also compelled by Jesus’ life and example to do righteousness – and that certainly includes loving one another. God has a plan for His church and that plan has a deadline. We must move in concert with one another or, because we’re one body, we slow the progress of His church.

What Is Truth?

The church is at a place where it should never have been – full of confusion. Everyone disagrees and the world knows it. How can this be when Jesus came to bear witness of the truth and every Book of the Bible reveals Him? We are the offspring of God and should be walking in that power and truth.

Vision

King Saul’s primary weakness was that he didn’t identify with any kingdom other than his own. He lacked both passion and vision. Fighting the enemy was just a job for him and he didn’t identify with the people he was fighting the battle for. The Church must get God’s vision, and be filled with a passion to defend ourselves and those around us from the attacks of the…

Believing

We need to come to the place where we believe, truly believe, the things that God is saying. When we come to that place, God can use us to speak to those around us what He would say to them were He standing there when they need Him. A need specific word straight from Him through the mouth that He has given us. Time with God strips us of the hardness and unbelief that…

Healing the Blind & the Lame

We’re in an hour when the Church can’t afford to get it’s eyes off the eternal. We no longer have the time to become entangled in earthly squabbles. If ever the light of Jesus needed to shine, it is now. If we’re going to take the message of salvation to the world, our vessels must be clean. Jesus will cleanse this temple that we are if we want Him more than we want the…

An Honest Judge

In this study, Pastor Ricley teaches on Psalms 11-15 and then he’s asked to explain 1 John 5:14-21. These verses all work together to establish that it’s only God who knows a man’s heart and He will always do what is right. We don’t need to understand, we just need to rest in His will in any given situation.

Right Fellowship

Between the promise and the realization of the promise is a rest. The Apostle John tells us that in right fellowship with Jesus, we have the ability to behold Him, to touch Him, to hear and see Him. In that right fellowship we learn that we can rest in who He is, and not in who We are. Right fellowship assures us that He is our Potter and He is pleased with His work.…
