Releasing the Power of God

1-16-22
Pastor Gloria
Acts 1:8 You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.
Commit your life totally to Christ.
Love Him.
Do you love Him more than…..?
He wants to endue you with power from on high, but it won’t happen until you 
totally commit. 
Be faithful in everything you do. God looking for someone who won’t bend.
Would that you were hot or cold.
Put God first and He will fight for you.
God gives power when:
(Are you willing?)
Faithful
Must be willing to face the dark one-this is NOT a game.
He must be able to trust us.
Acts 1:6
He is hand picking His army for the last hour.
Those who will not bend or bow.  Stand strong.
Put trust in God, Confidence in God and nothing else.
He wants to release things into us, but must have ALL of us.
Luke 2:49
You are endued with power from on high. God wants us to be the example
NOW.
Acts 3:4 God has a season and He is waiting for you to come out from among them.
He wants to toughen you up and display you.
“That’s one of mine!”
You want the power? Must have a pure heart and pure conscience, faithful unto God.
You have a call. How valuable are you to the Kingdom?.
I love God more.
God will use everyone He can use.  He wants you to be an example.
Acts 19:11 Relationship with God.
Revelation from God. He is willing to bless you and keep you.
Why do we think God owes us something?.
He is trying to get His army together.  Get in the right lane.
Let God be in control.
What is God going to ask you to do?
What matter is today, while you still have breath. Go forth in power.
What choice will you make?
John 1:12 Believe in His name.
Gave us the right to become part of something greater than we’ll ever know.
What do I need to get right?
Don’t let anyone take my place.


Forward is an Action

Nehemiah 2:11-18
Things don’t change unless you change them.
God rules in the kingdom of men. 
We have an enemy trying to destroy us. He wants us to lose our position in God.
Around us things are being torn apart.  How can we act like nothing is happening?
God, what do you want me to do?
Our weapons are not carnal.
Many are blinded.
Go forward for God first.
Things happen in life.
If you love Him, you will serve Him.
What are you going to do about it?
PRAY
It’s going to take GOD. Cry out to God. When you pray, He hears.
Pray and put God first.
1.  Take action, intentional, on purpose.
2.  Move ahead in faith.
Phil 3:12-14 Press on.
3.  Can we move forward with the past in mind?
Don’t talk about the past. Don’t dwell on the past.
We cannot change our past.
We cannot predict the future.
Don’t make plans without God.
4. If we wal with God, we can embrace our today.
Paul obtained his goals by pressing on toward (Forward to the goal)
Don’t frustrate God’s grace.
5.  Seize the moment (Opportunities)
Now is the day-grab hold right then.
6. Reap God’s blessings (Today and tomorrow)
Phil 4:10-13

Mark 4:13 Parable of Parables-Sowing and reaping. Jesus wants us to understand the Kingdom of God.  It is based on a natural principle of sowing seed.
4:26 The Kingdom is similar to casting seed into the ground.  Everything comes in seed form.  When the seed goes into the ground, the process begins.
When the seed is put into the ground it “looks like” subtraction instead of multiplication.  Be careful that you do not get discouraged.  It always looks like it’s dying before it starts to live again.  
A root system must be established.  You have to KNOW it is being established even when it is unseen.  Something is happening when you don’t see it happening.
It is a challenge to maintain as you go through the day in and day out. Don’t let the mundane rob you of your promise. WAIT FOR IT!. You must learn to navigate the mundane.  Through the monotonous, hold on to your faith. Something is happening in the monotony.
DON’T GIVE UP! Everybody wants everything RIGHT NOW! You have to manage the monotony- the day in and day out. Sometimes you don’t know if you are buried or planted.  What do you do?
Your miracle is found in the waiting. Wait on it! IT is coming! Keep on walking. Walk it out. KNOW that something is happening. Keep on walking. Be consistent.
While you are being consistent, something deeper is happening. Your character is deepening. Nobody wants to wait.
You gotta know how to walk, how to wait, how to navigate the monotony. Hold on to the end.  We don’t know how a seed sprouts, we just know something is happening under the ground where we can’t see it. You will abort your miracle if you don’t know that something is happening that you can’t see.  When you are believing for something, you have to be okay when you don’t know.  Don’t give up too soon..
What you know (what you can see) can be your worst enemy. God will take you to a place where you don’t know.
Then it will spring up! The first blade is not what you expected. But when you see activity SHOUT! It is the first phase of the miracle. Shout on day one. Shout over the sprout! Don’t try to harvest too soon. Don’t abandon ship. Wait.  The full fruit will develop. The immediate is preceded by the process.


Women’s Conference

Nothing is too hard for God!
Our world needs some good news.  God put you in this time in these last days.
Live in victory right now instead of waiting for something to happen before we live in victory.
Ruth1:6
Ruth was working in the fields of Mob. God doesn’t do anything by accident. You can tell if you are believing good news or bad news by the way you walk.  It’s not enough to just hear the good news- take the good news and do something. Praise! 
Worry is praising the devil. Worry about nothing!
1) Move out– begin to move.  Good News demands a response.  You have circled the mountain long enough. Are you willing to leave where you are? You didn’t get in the mess overnight. You won’t get out overnight. It is a journey.  Be committed to the process of coming out.  In the journey you can’t skip steps.
2) Hold on through the process. So sad to see what the devil will do to a person.
During the process these steps are vital:
a. Come to chuch every time the door is open.
b. Read the Word every day.
c. Pray- talk to God like He is your best friend. (He is)                                      3) Have a made up mind.  Fear will make you cling to the familiar. You must choose for yourself.                                                                                                        4) Speak truth to lies. You must find scripture to stand on. You can’t fight the devil in the flesh. Speak scripture when you are in the middle of the battle.
Faith = 1)See what God sees 2) Say what God says.

Ps. 42:5 God wants you to go deeper with Him.

Prayer That Works

7/11/21 Pastor Gloria
Our burden is getting ready to turn into victory. God is getting you ready.
Colossians 4:2
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.
The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.
James 5:16 (the prayer of the righteous)
1. Confess your sin.
2. Pray for one another.
3. That you may be healed.
4. Effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
The book of James is full of practical guidance for every situation.
Praying scripture has great effectiveness.
5. Pray with persistence. Hold on, don’t turn loose.
Paul understood the power of prayer.
Luke 18:1, Luke 11:9, Luke 3:1 
6. Pray the Word. 
Find a scripture to stand on. Declare the Word.
Don’t lose heart.
God hears you. He doesn’t owe the sinner anything, but answer the prayers of the righteous. He will give you a yes or no or not time-wait.
God wants to open heaven to you, but He can’t if you won’t walk the way He wants you to walk.
He wants to answer the prayer of America. Time to fight. Stand for God.
Change your ways to be used by God.  Love His Word.
When you really give all to Him, you never want to go back.

He will uncover every unclean word.
Take a step.
According to how bad you want it.

Standing Firm in God Until You See the Victory

Isaiah 7:9 Don’t give up on your plan of victory.
If you are not firm in God, you will not be firm at all.
When you get in faith, God is the anchor.  Everyone has made mistakes.
Thank God we have an anchor.
God tests you to see if you will stand until the test is over. It’s either God’s way or 
no way. Only one way to the tree of life.
Nothing is done in darkness that won’t be brought to light. Be sure,your sins will find
you out.
Ps 40: 1,2 Fight the fight of faith.
When you go through something, Believe in God and trust in Him.  If something doesn’t
turn out the way you want, stand firm.
Wait patiently for God. Gives you peace in the time of storm. Even when we pass through
things.  Quit bellyaching, quit looking at what’s wrong and look at what’s right.
Grab ahold of something that can get you out of it.  Stand in faith. Believe God. 
Even so, I trust you.
2 Thes 2:15
Isaiah 40:8 The Word of God will stand forever.  You cannot leave God out.
James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above.
Heb 13:8 Dig your heels in and trust the One who never fails.
2 Cor 10:5
 Peter 5:8-9 Self controlled.
Eph 6:13 Put on your armor.
Ps 40:3,4 Don’t give in to the god of this world.
Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who
go astray after a lie.
Stand firm. I WILL see victory over this.
We can’t waver between Faith and doubt.
1 Kings 18:21 Elijah, how long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him.
but if Baal(world) is god, follow him.
Abraham was fully persuaded. Yet, he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God
but was strenthened in his faith and gave glory to Go, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what
He had promised.
Ps 119:11 Your Word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Make your life count for Christ. 
God has patience with us. God never weakens us.  Rise up again and have a new beginning.
Meet the need of someone else.  Make preparation to live.
Love people anyway. Don’t walk in offence.
Zech 4:6 Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord of hosts.
Your life is not your own. Honor God and He will open heaven and supply every need.
If you don’t follow God, you are robbing your family. He will honor the man who honors him.
God’s trying to tell you, “Make your life count.” It’s not about self.

God wants your heart. He wants every part of you.  Find out how to walk with God.

May your outward life reflect your inner spirit.
