Bethel Church LJ Podcast

There is much more to be said about God’s intention for the church and individual believers thanprescriptions of law can contain. However, the underlying principle of this series is that by hearing God’s moral law again, we may all be called back to foundational and divine imperatives that can establish us more surely in the way of righteousness and, without which, only destruction looms ahead.

Regeneration is a profound change. Just as our physical birth introduces a new person into the earthly world, our spiritual birth introduces a new person into the heavenly realm. After it, we begin to see, hear, and pursue the things of God; we start living a life of faith and holiness. God is the source of this transformation. God’s great love and free gift, His rich grace, abundant mercy, and His mighty power are the foundation of rebirth.

 

The enemy spreads his lies that we are unworthy, unforgiving, unforgiven, hateful, anxious, depressed...and if we don’t have that worldly abundance that we are failures...

 GOD sent His Son so we can live with an abundance of...

•  Peace,
•  Joy,
•  Love,
•  Walking in His power,
•  And with a greater purpose.
•  
• So, let me introduce myself...”My Name Is...” Wes.
  •  I am saved by the grace of God
  •  I am a child of the King, and a co-heir with Christ
  •  I am loved by God and living in His abundant Peace, Joy, Love, Power & Purpose!

People respond to challenges, how much more when God is saying to us, who will go for me? Who will I send? How many of us will lay aside our agenda, lay aside our wants, our desires, lay aside the things that so easily pull us aside. And like Moses, like Isaiah, like the apostles, like countless others throughout the centuries, who will say Lord here am I whatever the price, whatever the cost, whatever it may be. Here am I send me.

You are God, and I am not.
You knew me before I was formed.
You know the number of hairs on my head.
You sent Your Son for me.
Help me stay grateful—even for the next breath.
I trust You again. Amen."

God's sovereignty isn’t just a doctrine. It’s a pillow for your weary soul. Rest on it tonight.

What we learned today is that God works through unity, and unity comes when God’s people rally around leadership that carries His vision for His Church. As we bond and rally around His vision, we experience God's provision — the word “provision" means “for the vision.”

In contrast, Satan operates through division. Since division essentially means 'two visions,' there can be no unity until everyone embraces one vision—God’s vision—and works together to bring it about.

We have to do our part, we must dig the well. However, when that time comes when we can't do anything else. When our resources have run out when, there is no way out or no way through. God steps in and meets the need. Note that God often will not do only what He can do until we do all we can do. When we come to the end of ourselves. The God connects, it's been said that God is all you need until He is all you have.

Everyone carries baggage. It’s really not a question of if, but how much. What we must allow God to do in our lives is help us shed the baggage that can hinder us from fulfilling our purpose and destiny. We must let go of it as God highlights it in order to move toward wholeness. Removing the baggage from our lives that keeps us from prospering, that keeps us from fulfilling our purpose and destiny in our lives.

SO, IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING OR IN BONDAGE, It is time to Rise Up! from under the table. The glory of the God has arisen upon us, and He gave us power to  trample.

Sickness, fear, death, anxiety, anger, jealousy, pride, unforgiveness, lust and addiction AND ALL THINGS THAT BIND US.

He will restore your thumb and big toes if you get up from under the table.

BECAUSE GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN YOU THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD...WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS US

 

While we are to put our trust in God and His Word for everything in life, how much more must we turn to Him and His instructions when we are facing times of crisis? Like the Israelites, when we have been “snake-bit,” we are to look to God’s revelation of His will as found in His Word; when we do so by faith, we will receive the remedy that is found therein. This grace is found and mediated to us through God’s work in Christ. Whoever looks to Him in faith will also live and will also be healed.
