Faith Greater Than Emotions
God makes promises in His Word or directly to us that our emotional man can easily reject if the promise doesn’t come to pass quickly enough to satisfy our carnal thinking. Our faith needs to be strong enough to hold to the promise even when the enemy tells us over and over that God won’t do what He said and our carnal thoughts tell us to fix the issue in…
The Right Wedding Garment
We have received an invitation from God to the marriage supper. Jesus’ Bride will be arrayed in white linen, granted to her by God. We don’t want the wrong garment, we don’t want religion or to put our trust in anything in this hour except for Him. We’ve entered into a covenant relationship with God. He will do His part if we do ours – surrender to His will. Zeph…
Church Needs To Learn Sorrow
God is a God of relationship – relationship with us and our relationships with each other. We’re to love as He loved. We were born to show the world empathy and sympathy that can only be learned by walking through difficult places as He did. Scripture: Matt 12:34-42, Ezek 24:15-27
Kiss the Son
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry… God talking about Jesus’ rejection in Jerusalem. A warning to be heeded in this hour when anger and resentment toward God is fashionable. If we’re not feeling tenderness towards Him, a desire to reach out and touch Him, it’s time to ask Him to help us bring our prayers to Him as kisses. Scripture: Psa 2:1-12, Song of Solomon 1:1-1-3,…
Without Controversy
We’re in an hour of great controversy about God in the world but in the Spirit realm “without controversy great is the mystery of godliness. We will be the revelation of the mystery – God manifested in the flesh (02.19.20) Scripture: 1 Tim 3:14-16, Psa 51:1-19, Matt 13:11-17, Rom 16:24-27, 1 Cor 2:7-16, Rev 10:7
Application
The Word of God will cover our mind just like an application of paint covers a wall. God intends for us to make application of what He says in our lives, our marriages, with our kids, in our communities. Scripture: 2 Peter 1:1-6, Matt 10:5-15
There Is A Way
Pastor Ricley takes us through Scripture to show us that God provides a way for us to bring the flesh under dominion, a way to draw closer to Him, a way to walk & live in the Spirit, a way to obedience, a way to deeper faith, a way to do greater things that Jesus did. Scripture: Isa 58:1-14, Luke 13:6-17, Isa 43:16, Prov 30:19, Isa 8:16-9:12, Matt 17:14-21, Rom…
Religious Knowledge vs Revelation Knowledge
Pastor Ricley takes us through Scripture to explain the difference between knowledge we gain through religious experience and revelation knowledge that comes from God Himself. Scripture: 1 Cor 2:1-15, John 3:3-11, Luke 18:18, 1 Cor 1:17-31, Jer 31:15, Matt 2:18
Substance
We are learning quickly that we can’t depend on the flesh. We need the Voice, we need the Word moving in us. Faith has to become substance, not hope. Scripture: Isa 38:1-8, Isa 39:1-8, 2 Chron 32:7-8, 2 Chron 32:30-31, 2 Kings 20:4-5, John 6:4, John 7:25-35, Luke 13:24-25, Matt 25:5-10, Heb 10:5-38
The Transformed Mind
We want the territory we are to be the safest place for God to inhabit so we can take Him behind enemy lines and we’ll be part of a defense that won’t back up. The only obstacle we have to being those kinds of soldiers is our minds. God starts with the premise, ‘Lay down your will”, “present yourself as a living sacrifice” and He will…
