Especially in the West, believers tend to integrate themselves into the daily flow of Western life, rather than hearing the cry of the Spirit about the times that we are in.

Insight on God's desired order in the church can be gleaned from the book of Ephesians.

In the Scriptures oil and annointing are tightly connected. You'll find oil throughout the Scriptures from the comissioning of Aaron, to the prophet Zechariah, to the book of Revelation.

It is critical that the church has the correct structure build on the apostolic pattern laid out in the New Testament.

Faith springs from our hope in God and let do we pursue hope? Do we keep ourselves in hope? Is our hope in God and His calling confident?

Do we truly know and walk in the power of His resurrection? Do we know the power of His enduring love which drove Jesus through the sacrifice that was necessary before His resurrection?

After years of wandering in the desert, the Hebrews had to decide whether or not they were going to cross over and follow Joshua's lead in taking the inheritance God had promised them.

After years of wandering in the desert, the Hebrews had to decide whether or not they were going to cross over and follow Joshua's lead in taking the inheritance God had promised them.

When we are serious about leaving the desert place and crossing over to fight for what God has given us in Jesus, God is faithful to give instructions.

The church at this time absolutely must cross over to living life completely in the Spirit. We have been living and operating out of our own soulish power for far too long.

The generation that is coming up is a very unique generation. They most likely will see the coming of the Lord.

We find a fantastic picture in the Old Testament of God's plan for us as He makes us His temple.

Everyday we make choices and those choices significantly affect our covenant with God. Each choice we make is either a choice for the covenant, or it is rebellion against our covenant with God.

Has the presence of the Holy Spirit been with us so long that He has become familiar to us? Do we truly know and rely on His voice completely?

This message continues to explore whether we have gotten used to the Holy Spirit because He has been with us so long or whether we are actively moving with Him and through Him.

The wind of the Spirit is moving today like never before. This wind is both constructive and destructive.

There is a wind of change blowing across the earth. Change is happening on every front and many things must change to make way for what God is going to do on the earth.

God will use the winds of adversity to shape and mold us. We must fix our hope on His promises and His kingdom.

While so much of the world pursues false spirituality and false religions, one of the great tragedies is how unfamiliar the church is with the things of the spirit.

There is coming much conflict and upheaveal as God begins the process of bringing His kingdom to the earth.

In I Corinthians Paul discusses the gifts at length including their diversity and operation and then makes sure to include in that discuss the necessity of love in the moving of the gifts and in the l

The Scripture is very clear that the spirit of Elijah will be found on the earth in the last days.

In this day and hour we so desperately need the church to live in the character and nature of Elijah.

Jesus finished the Lord's Prayer ascribing to the Father the Kingdom, Power, and Glory.

We must prepare for the coming storm before it comes. These days and seasons belong to God and His ways are not our ways.

Christ in us is our only hope of glory. So many times we are seeking external manifestations of the love and presence of God when He is wanting to do a deep work in our hearts.

The Word of God is unmatched in its ability to transform a life. Tragically we often become dull and do not hear the Word with ears that are eager for the revelation of God.

God is speaking breakthrough to individuals that have been waiting for God to move.

God will bring breakthrough, but there are requirements on us if we want to see a breakthrough from heaven. God gives us keys that open up our hearts to receive His breakthrough.

The ability to bring God's breakthough is a characteristic of the apostolic church.

While we ascent to the doctrine of the resurrection, we must examine our Christian walk as individuals and as a body to see if we are truly walking in the genuine resurrection power of Jesus. Resurrection Power is required to be born again, it is required to live the live God has called us to live, and it will be required at the end of the age when the dead in Christ rise first and put on a glorified body. Are we daily walking in the reality of Jesus' resurrection power or is it just a doctrine? Without this power living within us, we are not living an authentic Christian life.

The church is in the midst of this reformation. While God is reforming the church, many have been so zealous for change that they have abandoned basic principles that Scripture lays down for the church. We must cling to the critical principles of church while reforming all that has become man made religion lest we create another form of church that is a man made expression of a different kind.

It is critical to the church that we understand our position as sons before God. We must understand that God treats us like sons and expects us to live as sons. Too many live with an orphan spirit. It is also critical at this time that we hear the voice of God. We must sit before Him and have all other voices silenced that we might hear His voice and remain in the truth.

Regardless of our gifting and annointings, humility must pervade our walk with God. It is critical that we take on humility and the character of God so that we walk as God desires us to walk and be a demonstration of Jesus on the earth.

God is moving on the earth and we must remain sensitive to His Spirit and in the flow of His move. We must desire His glory above all else. We remain hungry and flexible to follow Him at all costs and be willing to let Him shake and remove things in us that we may truly come to know Him.

The Lord desires to take times of transition and quietness and increase our faith. We can see from the Scriptures how Jesus would have us increase our faith while we wait before Him.

It is critical in this day and hour that we have the seal of Heaven upon us. God seals those who are His in critical times. We must present ourselves to the Lord that He might seal us upon His heart, a seal that is stronger than death.

We are living in one of the most critical hours in human history. It is critical that we are sealed by heaven. We must seek the seal that comes from God. It is God's plan that we are a letter to the earth bearing His seal.

God is calling us to take a stand for His pure, supernatural move. There are two critical keys if we want to move with him. First, we must have a greater awareness of our own spirit and how we interact with the Holy Spirit. Secondly we must learn to guard our hearts.

God desires us to be ruled by His Spirit rather than our own soul. We must be willing to be led by the Spirit and allow His Spirit to transform our soul so that our soul is a willing and able servant to the Spirit.

As we progress in the spirit, God yearns to have us grow in godliness. As we grow into godliness our lives will demonstrate the fruit of brotherly kindness and brotherly love. Godliness finds its practical fulfillment in the area of kindness and love one for another.

Now matter how far we go in God, we must always stay near the cross. There are deeper levels of the cross that we must experience. While we may be familiar with the cross, God wants to take us to another level of the revelation and working of the cross in our lives.

God is calling his church into a new season of conquest like Joshua. The period of the wilderness is over and a new season will require a faith in Him and the ability to face multiple challenges and conquer them all. God is also calling forth Joshuas that have been in a place of serving and hiddeness to come forward. We must have courage to conquer and obey.

In the Scripture we find that rivers are significant places for the people of God. Likewise, God gives us rivers in our life that represent transition places. There is a prophetic word for us that we must hear as we surrender to the work of His pure river.
