Transformation with Brant Jordan

Genesis 37:4-5

⁴ Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! ⁵ And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.

"He can do what no one else can do and God not done yet"

Have You Still No Faith?

When God issues a directive to us, we must view His word as unchangeable and unmovable. It is everything around us that must accommodate the Word. As we take that biblical understanding as the foundation of our thinking process, we then use the authority and the power the Lord gave us to bring the opposing circumstances into submission. That’s how we fight the good fight of faith.

What Is In Our Name? Part 3

 Bethel, it is the House of God; It is the portal or the doorway from heaven to earth.

The purpose for these messages it to get us to realize that We are Bethel! Not just our name, but our identity is Bethel!

 

•  We are the House of God!

•   We are the doorway from heaven to earth! 

We need to be heaven’s penetration point on earth, the headquarters of the kingdom of heaven on earth. Bethel is the place where heaven and earth meet. It is the place where God’s Kingdom comes and God’s will is manifest on earth, as it is in heaven. It is the gateway of Heaven.

•   We, the Church are the place where God Himself resides!

•   We, the Church are God’s access point into the earthly realm.

A Thorn In The Flesh

I hope this biblical look at this passage will destroy the lie that God is somehow wanting to keep you from being healed because like Paul, He has given you a thorn in the flesh as well. As we have seen, God did not give Paul a thorn in the flesh, and He is definitely not giving one to you either. What He did provide for you is Grace made evident in His healing power.

What Is In Our Name? Part 2

God is everywhere, He promises to be with us always. He assures us that He will never leave us or forsake us. We are the church, We are Bethel! We are the House of God! We are the Place Where God dwells. We are the Place Where God’s Manifest Presence is Revealed. We are the People of God who are on fire! We are the light or the fire of the world!  God set your church on fire!

The Power Of Declaration

Jesus taught that you can bring to pass whatsoever you say and believe in your heart. Creative power is released when the heart and mouth get in agreement! It can bring about the manifestation of healing to your body, salvation to your family, prosperity to your business, and growth to your church.

This heart-mouth combination works both positively and negatively. That’s why you must be careful about what you believe and declare.

 We live in the world we create with our words and actions. If you want to live a different future than your present circumstances reveal, then you will need to think differently, speak differently and act differently.

What Is In Our Name Part 1

We see in Jacob’s dream that Bethel is the House of God. The church is the ultimate fulfillment of what Jacob saw. We, God’s people, in Jacob’s dream, have a picture of what God intends the church, our church to be. We are the place where God Himself dwells and His children, we are to reveal God and His ways to the world around us.

Shake Off The Obstacles

You can do anything God calls you to do too! Determine in your heart that you will not allow Satan to do anything to stop you.

Regardless of the obstacles, like Abraham, like Paul, you too reason in your heart that the same God who made you His promises will be faithful to bring them to pass in your life. You too, by faith, cast off the serpents that bite, cast off the adversities that wound, and move forward into your destiny trusting in God who cannot lie. He will come through for you just as He did for them. Because God is faithful!

Anointed And Empowered Part 17

We must come to understand, embrace, and subsequently teach and train up the future leaders of our church that God cares for more than just the Church. God set the church into the world because God is concerned with nations. The church is supposed to be salt and light in the earth not to condemn the world, but to influence the nations towards the goodness and the mercies of God. We must recognize that without being the light in and to the nations, we abandon them to the works of darkness.
