2 Corinthians 5:17-21

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

1 Corinthians 12:31 tells us to seek the "greater gifts". The gifts are not just for a favored few but Paul makes clear are for everyone. The Greatest Gift is the one you need and the moment you need it, and HE promises it WILL be there when you need it. 

Matthew 7:13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

These were the closing words of our Savior's most famous sermon-the Sermon on the Mount. But Jesus' sermon wasn't concluded with a gran finish in order that His sermon be famous. Jesus delivered this sermon with a specific warning-With this warning He expected those listening to go forth and put what he said into practice.

What I believe is the most critical and important Gift of the Holy Spirit for Parents and The Church today. 

1 Corinthians 12:8-11

8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

Before Earnestly seeking the Gifts we need to start with the prerequisites; The FRUIT of the Spirit. Galatians 5:16-26 

What is finished? The Apostle John is the only one that uses this phrase, explaining what the "IT" means.. 

John 19:25-30 

25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,”27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. 28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Are there Apostles and Prophets in todays church? One pastors perspective. 

Experiencing the Manifest Presence of God is through Brokenness and Humility, so HE can shine through you.

John Anderson and Cathi Smith talk about the Revivals that took place in his ministry in three churches over 5 decades.

Ephesians 6:10-11 encourages us to be strong in our faith and have the courage to stand firm in the face of adversity. It reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, we are to put on the full armor of God, so that we can resist the devil's schemes and remain steadfast in our faith. With the power of the Holy Spirit and the armor of God, we can have the courage to stand against any obstacle that may come our way and remain steadfast in our belief in Jesus Christ.

Walking - Literally, the Christian Church grew because of a transient society migrating on newly "paved" roads in the Roman Empire. 

Walking - Metaphorically, manner of life and conduct defines our walk in the world.

Ephesians 4:1-11 

1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit— just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,and he gave gifts to men.” 9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” John 14:6.

Jesus is the way. The way to the Father. The way of life. The way to salvation. Jesus lived on earth to show us the way. To follow Him on this way means that we are to walk as He walked. We are to follow in His footsteps, living as He lived. A way indicates progression. When we follow Him we come to where He is now.

4 Biblical Principles to to having a great year.

Walking in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, we have the ASSURANCE of HIS Presence, guiding, leading and protecting.

Acts 9:31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.

Acts 9:31 gives us an insight into how the early church was so successful even in times of persecution and martyrdom. They not only were "walking in the fear of the Lord" but living in the "comfort of the Holy Spirit". How we can experience that for ourselves?

Acts 9:31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.

Luke gives a summary of how the 1st century church survived and had its most explosive growth. Two very important aspects of the Holy Spirits operation in the churches beginning.

Joshua calls the nation of Israel to choose between life and death, Good and Evil and God and their Idols. In this season of unrest and instability, God is calling us as a nation, a church and individuals to choose who we are going to serve. This choice is made clear in Proverbs 3:5-6

The Bible prophetically tells us of a coming Economic Collapse in the World. Jesus gave instructions on what we are to do "when you see these things begin to come to pass". A biblical perspective on surviving the coming disaster.

Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “ALL authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of ALL nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Hosea assures us of God's continued love for us, even in the desperate and difficult times of our lives.

Lessons the modern church should heed about the elder brother in the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15.

After Paul and Silas are released from prison they walk almost 100 miles to Thessalonica. After speaking in the Synagogue, several Jewish leaders both Men and Women responded to the Gospel. Once again Paul and Silas are accused of being Troublemakers.

Are you in a prison to your own heart, mind, or past? In Acts 16, Paul deals with a "Python" spirit, and is thrown in jail. His response to the spirit and prison gives us some direction in how to get out of and survive your own prison.

Fighting a Battle that seems never-ending? There is hope. Pauls's first foothold for the Gospel in Europe is in Philippi. The epic battle for control of the Roman Empire was settled here 90 years before.  The ultimate control turned out to be 4 missionaries setting foot on the same battlefield in Acts 16 with the power of the real King of Kings and Divine Son of God, a more Epic battle than Brutus/Cassius and Octavian/Mark Antony. The Roman Empire is gone the Gospel Church still survives.

Jesus calls us to "win" , not the culture wars or political influence but to WIN THE LOST.

Who is the Provider? Todays headlines say the Government, a political party, an elite group of people who know more and better than us.
