Revive Church with Pastor Todd Mozingo

for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of strongholds. 5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

The Christian Response

May it isn't what you think it is.

Pastor Todd teaches us today a new way to look at unity and therefore why gossip and slander is so contrary to the people of God.

It is through unity of our calling that we find agreement.

What causes disunity and division? Gossip and Slander.

Pastor Todd talks with us today about physical death of the body. How should Christians look at this and how should we react?

Join us for an eye-opening exploration into what heaven truly means according to the Bible. In today's talk, we'll dispel common misconceptions and incorrect images about heaven that have permeated our collective understanding. Far from a never-ending worship service or a life among the clouds with a harp, the Biblical view of heaven offers a profoundly different perspective. If you've never studied or sought to understand heaven, or if you've held onto an image of heaven that isn't in line with the scriptures, this discussion promises to change your life. By exploring passages like Matthew chapter 25 and others, we'll provide a fresh and Biblically accurate insight into what heaven will be like and what we'll be doing there. This engaging talk won't focus on eschatology or the rapture but will guide you to a view of heaven that may be entirely new to you. Come and discover what heaven is really about!

In this segment, we will focus on the topic of gender fluidity, exploring the question: Can you change your gender? The discussion aims to uncover the truth about this subject from both a Biblical perspective and broader viewpoints. Drawing from Genesis and Psalms, the speaker will examine the creation of male and female, the purpose of their existence, and how this understanding relates to contemporary issues such as LGBTQA+. In a respectful and compassionate atmosphere, we will seek to understand how to address this matter as believers without condemnation or hate speech. Join us for this thoughtful exploration of gender and faith, starting from the foundation of the Bible but extending our understanding beyond it.

Today Pastor Todd discusses the individual encounters of various people with Jesus after His resurrection, and the transformative impact these encounters had. He references 1 Corinthians 15 as the main scripture for his sermon and then focuses on Jesus' appearance to two travelers on the road to Emmaus as described in Luke 24. Pastor Todd emphasizes that the travelers' recognition of Jesus was a profound experience that ignited their faith and compelled them to share the news of Jesus' resurrection with the apostles.

He explores how some of the closest disciples doubted the news of Jesus' resurrection at first, even when the news came directly from Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and the mother of James. Despite the skepticism, Peter chose to investigate the news himself. Upon finding the empty tomb, Peter marvels at the event, showing a significant shift in his belief.

Pastor Todd shows us how encounters with the resurrected Savior can deeply impact and transform our faith and bring others to a new faith in Jesus.

Pastor Todd teaches us today about the significance of the blood of Jesus, based on the Christian faith. He dives deep into multiple Biblical scriptures and narratives, starting from the book of Genesis, where blood first appears in the context of the story of Cain and Abel.

Pastor Todd also addresses the Christian narrative around blood offering, specifically in the case of Abel, and explore why God chose Abel's offering over Cain's.

He also shows us the symbolic representation of blood as both life and a voice that cries out to God, using the narratives from the times of Noah, the aftermath of the flood, and the liberation of the Hebrews from Egypt.

All of these things set the stage for understanding the significance of Jesus' blood in our Christian faith.

Pastor Rick Evans highlights Jesus' words to the people on the hillside the day that Jesus preached His sermon from the Mount. He tells them that they are the Salt and light of the world. Likely not everyone grasped this. However, there are people who when they hear the Word of the Lord and press in in worship feel the truth and life of Spirit of God. There is something that affects them. Let's listen in to learn more.

Pastor Todd Mozingo asks for our deep focus in this message as it may go in directions that you may not expect. What do we believe about the words we speak? Words can be spoken in the physical world but have spiritual meaning and impact. We learn this by reading Jesus' words.

Pastor Todd Mozingo shares with us a "Positive Warning", a reminder, an attempt to refocus us on what is important. "Sometimes we, as believers, worship God for how He worships us." Listen in to learn what this means.

Pastor Pete Camacho shares with us how amazing the Word of God it. There are two main reasons why we as a people will be either lost and misguided or be successful and driven. 1) We don't read the Word of God or 2) We read the Word of God without understanding. Listen in as Pastor Pete leads us in understanding.

Pastor Massey Campos asks us "Are all of our weaknesses in the flesh caused by demons?" How does the spirit realm impact us and when is it simply our flesh?

Who are the demons? Where do they come from? What are their capabilities?

How do they affect our lives today and what are we supposed to do about them?

Pastor Todd Mozingo shares from the Word of God everything we need to know.

Typically, Christians know far more about demons and focus far more on demons than we do about Angels. Why is that?

Angels are mentioned in 33 of the 66 books of the Bible and are mentioned over 283 times. Should we really ignore them?

Pastor Todd Mozingo teaches us today the truth about angels and how important they are to God and to us.

Pastor Massey Campos teaches us today about how to understand the Bible, how to apply it and how to love it as the living Word of the Living God.

The Word of God is perfect for life and joy of the heart.

Pastor Glen Harm starts out with this, "What comes out of your mouth today forms your tomorrow." This is a rephrase of James 3:6 "And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself."

Do we understand the power of our words? Do our words about ourselves line up with what God says about us?

Pastor Glen explores this idea that we speak words over ourselves that can come true whether true or false, whether positive or negative. What we speak today becomes tomorrow's reality.

Let's listen in.

Today Mike Sonneveldt, Director of Discipleship asks us "What do we believe about the Law?" as it is given in the Biblical scriptures?

We are often quick to dismiss the Law entirely as we are free from it but does it have a purpose in our lives still?

Pastor Massey Campos teaches us today about The Everlasting Love of God.

God is first and foremost a Father. The Love of God as Father for us is never ending, eternal.

Today Pastor Massey Campos asks us How Do I Believe?

CONTINUING SERIES BY TODD MOZINGO "WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?"

What do you believe about Eternal Security?

Pastor Todd tells us that he is beginning a new series called "What Do You Believe?".  This series will last the entire year. He examines what it means to actually believe in the Kingdom of God. All things are possible for anyone who believes. Do we have some unbelief hanging out in the corners of our hearts and minds?  If we believe we will see the glory of God. 

Today Pastor Massey directs our attention to Ephesians 1:15-22 that has some insanely cool perspectives in drawing near to God in our daily lives.  We are strong in His strength and authority. 

Pastor Todd explains the value and power of fasting. Fasting is commonly viewed as a means to get stuff from God. However, Pastor Todd leads us through scripture to discover that our fasting is a way to give back to others and to God. Let's listen to this important teaching to see what the Holy Spirit has to reveal to us.

Pastor Todd also shares with us his vision for 2023.  "What do we believe?".  Do we really believe what we say we believe?  

We are excited that Pastor Todd has released his complete set of his Vindication Series. God Vindication, Jesus Vindication and Holy Spirit Vindication. These books will help you become intimately acquainted with all members of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To go even deeper in applying this in our lives, he has also released workbooks to accompany these books. We all know that hearing a message and reading a message can be very helpful but our memories can fade with time. But if we work on practical applications of the concepts of the books found in these workbooks we can cement these into our long-term memory banks and be ready to share them with others. The books and workbooks are available separately or as a set on Amazon.com

This podcast is brought to you by Revive Church of Stuart, FL. You can learn more about us at our website, reviveusnow.com.

Pastor Massey reviews the year 2022 in sermons and messages by Pastor Todd. He reminds us that 2022 was the year of the Holy Spirit.  

Pastor Todd preached on the fruit of the Holy Spirit with a unique insight that these are not our fruit but His fruit operating in us. Then he preached on the gifts of the Spirit clearing up many misunderstandings about those gifts with special teachings on the gift of tongues. The Pastor Todd reminds us that the Holy Spirit was sent into the world to show the truth. He challenges us all to speak the truth in Love as Jesus' did. Jesus really did love everyone, but He spoke challenging words to those who were misguided. Always in love. Jesus never compromised with the world. Neither should we. Listen in to this year in review.

This is a rather unusual title for a message from Pastor Todd. "Learning from Crazy People". He is teaching today on finding your calling from God.

Sometimes people are called by God to do crazy things. You have to be just a little bit crazy to be open to these things. You may have to endure skepticism and even ridicule from others to follow through on what God has called you to.

From the scriptures Pastor Todd shares the wisdom and insights of people who follow God's call to do crazy things.

Then He asks us if God has ever asked us to do anything that we might have thought was a bit crazy. His call may make no sense at all. How did we respond? How did it work out? God may call us to lead a zoo. He picks us because He knows that we are capable in Him to do anything.

God has a plan that may not make sense and He may call you to participate in that plan. We may not need to understand when we are called. We may need to be a little crazy, look a little crazy, and even be criticized for looking crazy.

Let's listen in as Pastor Todd reveals the character of God and the nature of our calling in His plans from scripture.

Pastor Massey speaks to us today that there is more to be seen and experienced and overcome in the Kingdom of God. More than success, more than fleshly desires, more than our pain, more than our trials, much more. God has prepared us for great and supernatural things because we have His Spirit.

The Bible tells us that we are more than conquerors because we trust in Jesus. In Jesus the old has passed away and we are new creatures with a new seed and a new power because we have the favor of God.

The Bible also tells us that we will have trials in this life but He promises to deliver us from those trials. We are to count it all joy when these things happen because we can trust Him. We are not destroyed. We are victorious because of His promises.

We are not fighters who can win or lose. We are conquerors because God has fought our battles and made us conquerors 100% of the time.

Let's listen in as Pastor Massey shares this very timely message with us.

Pastor Todd is in a series called "Love Never Lies". He teaches us, "We're talking about the fact that the world would look at Christianity and say, Hey, you guys should be nice and kind and loving and tolerant because that was what Jesus would do."

Pastor Todd takes us back into the scripture to find out what would Jesus actually do. "What we're trying to do is keep Christianity from being passive and tolerant. Because passivity and tolerance is not what Christ is about."

This may be a bumpy ride for some. He is going to talk about the blessings of the Lord but perhaps that doesn't mean exactly what we think it means.

He is teaching us today from the story of Jesus confronting the money changers in the temple. We see Jesus with a whip in His hand overturning tables and scattering coins of money. Does this sound like the kind, tolerant, nice Jesus that the world has stereotyped Him as?

Is Jesus really mad simply because people elected to buy their sacrificial animals at the temple instead of bringing them from home? Is Jesus mad because He doesn't want anything for sale even in the outer courts of the temple?

Pastor Todd explains from scripture that the blessings of God come from obedience. Yet many of the people were disobedient before coming to the temple and still expect the blessings of God. The people do not know their God.

Let's listen in as Pastor Todd reveals the truth about the character of Jesus, our obedience, and about speaking the truth in love.

Please listen to the end for some important information.

John 15:13 But He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. Truth gives us boldness.

Pastor Todd asks, "How long will we, believers, allow unbelievers disciple us?" The world looks at our Bible and misquotes it and abuses it and throws it back in our face. For the most part in the church we let them do it. All too often we are silent in these situations. Two reasons could explain this. 1) We don't know the truth ourselves or 2) we think that passiveness is Christianity.

Jesus demonstrates boldness to everyone. He tells people the truth. He is not passive. His love for people required Him to tell them the truth about their lifestyles and destiny.

Pastor Todd shows us that we do not have to accept what the world tells us what Jesus was like. We do not have to accept the world's word about tolerance. We have the truth in the Spirit of Truth from God.

The world does not understand the Bible. They do not have the Spirit of God to give them revelation of what it means.

Let's listen in as Pastor Todd teaches us about this very important topic.

How do we become sober and vigilant? Why is this important for these times?

Pastor Massey teaches us today about becoming sober minded. Some people associate this with not drinking alcohol but it is so much more than that. It means to avoid anything that would lead us away from God's truth and sound judgment.

Sober is not lazy or passive. It is steady and even keeled in the midst of a storm. To be alert is to be sober, committed to truth, trusting in God. When trials come a sober person remains stable because we put our faith and trust in Jesus. Soberness keeps our character stable.

Don't we need to be models for those around us? What happens when people see us fall apart when difficulties come? They can lose faith.

Sober is a state of mind. Vigilance is a state of action. We cannot be vigilant in Christ if we are not sober in mind. When you aren't sober you can't be bold for Christ.

When we are sober we can see clearly. We can deal with the world clearly. We see ourselves and others clearly. If we are sober in mind we can see the Word of God clearly. If we are sober in mind we can be vigilant. We can be victorious.

Let's listen in as Pastor Massey shares with us about vigilance and being sober in mind in Christ.

Pastor Todd speaks to us today about seasons. Seasons tell us what we need to do. In agriculture there is a planting season, when seed is spread or pressed into the ground. There is a watering or growth season where we need to nurture and water. There is a harvest season where we reap the benefit of the planting and watering seasons.

In life we have seasons of growth from a child. Other seasons where we may be raising children. Later a season of retirement comes. Each of these seasons requires that we do certain things. We may even have seasons of grief or anxiety or loneliness. In those seasons we also have things we can do and should do in order to continue.

In scripture, Deuteronomy 28:12, God promises rain on the land in the right season and blessings on the work of our hands. The blessing is contingent on our work. If the rain comes and we have not planted nothing will grow.

Even so, we can plant the wrong seed in the wrong season and we will be unproductive because the growth will not be there. So we need to plant the right seed in the right season. Sometimes we can be doing the right things but at the wrong time.

Pastor Todd shows us in Gen 8:22 that these seasonal patterns repeat and continue. They will not cease as long as the Earth remains. We ignore or dismiss or mis align them at our risk. We need to pay attention to these seasonal cycles and act according to them.

There are seasons in the Kingdom of God as well.

Let's let Pastor Todd explain how we should be responding to seasons in the Kingdom.

Revelation 12:4 tells us that satan was cast out of heaven and he took a third of the angels with him. These became the demons. Their job now is to torment us, God's people, if we let them.

Many churches teach that demons were just an old testament thing or something in the gospels and we don’t really have to deal with them anymore. The question is "where do they think they went?".

Pastor Todd teaches us that demons are mentioned over 83 times in the New Testament. 25% of Jesus' ministry dealt with demons. Jesus gave us authority over demons.

Demons have a will of their own and they have emotions, knowledge, self awareness. They can speak our language.

Demons deceive, lie, and oppress. They also can be responsible for illnesses, physical, emotional and mental.

Let's listen in as Pastor Todd teaches us about this very important topic.

If you currently are experiencing anxiety about anything in your life or you have in the past this message is for you. Who hasn't?

Pastor Todd presents a simple, practical process to go through when you are experiencing anxiety about anything.

Often we can make our situation appear worse by repeating a negative narrative about it. Sometimes we can be listening to the wrong voices like the internet. Perhaps shame and guilt keep us from confessing things to God. Often we can get attention by repeating our anxiety story. It's called a victim mentality. If we are defined by our tragedy, our condition, our pain, what does that say about our role as a child of God?

Pastor Todd is not discounting real tragedy or pain but he is sharing with us a new way to see and describe our situation.

How we see and describe our situation can shorten that experience. We can do it as Jesus does.

Let's listen in as Pastor Todd helps us find a way out of our anxiety. There is victory available.
