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
Arm Yourself
The Church is in transition from the flesh realm to the spirit realm. The flesh is not equipped for the battle, our emotions have no place in it. Our strength, salvation and victory come from being armed in the Spirit. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:1-6, Luke 11:17-23, Rom 13:11-12, 2 Cor 6:1-18, Mal 3:13-1
Spirit vs Intellect
Satan plays to the ego of humanity and works against the people of God. If we look at what he’s done in the past, we would know what to expect now. Our intellect will throw out the parts of the Bible we don’t like, but God expect His people to sort out the spiritual things. Our intellect won’t take us where God wants us to go. Scripture: Rom 9:8-13,…
A People of Power
We are certain that if we have the power of God we’d feel it. Not so. We can be weak and still preach in power, have the power of healing because of the Spirit of God. Scripture: 1 Cor 2:1-7, Matt 5:17-19
Born in Flesh vs Spirit
There is a difference between voices who claim to be Christian. There is a difference between being born of the flesh & born of the Spirit. The Spiritual man has grace and mercy – he’s not above others, just beat up, scarred and obedient. Being born again manifests a genuine and obvious transformation in a person. Scripture: Gal 6:1-15, Matt 21:33-38
Weapons of Our Warfare
Jesus was driven into the wilderness for 40 days and nights to be tormented by the devil. We think He had an advantage we don’t have, but that’s simply not true. He emptied Himself and came in the flesh – just like us and He had to learn how to fight spiritual battles just as we do. He fought those battles and left us His example for victory in the…
A Time of Preparation
God is doing things in our lives that are preparatory to motion. Our busyness & ordinary days take our thought process and we’re letting the things of God pass us by. Scripture: Matt 4:12-17, Exod 19:1-6, Matt 11:21-24
God Gives, Religion Takes
The crux of every problem in the Bible was people believing lies. Sarah believed that every time Abraham looked at her he was disappointed in her, so she gave him her maid, the priests believed Jesus was after their kingdom – when He was their kingdom, Esau believed he would die and gave up his birthright. When religion give a solution, it appears to be spot on…
No Throne, Just Sight
Chapters 10-12 of the Gospel of Mark reveal to us how the church should operate with our eyes on spiritual things, serving in humility rather than ruling over people. We’re to be an empty vessel, ready for God to fill and use in any way He desires. Our walk is not about gaining a throne – it’s about doing whatever God wants, where He wants it and in…
Sacrifice of Righteousness
Pastor Ricley teaches on Psalm 4, the difference between the sacrifice of praise and the sacrifice of righteousness, the countenance of God, and the need for relationship with God as opposed to religion.
