2011 First Quarter

Something Better
January 2, 2011 - Rev Wade Townley
 
Jesus is all I need. He gives consolation and peace of mind.  We can’t be conformed to the thinking of the world. ; we need our minds renewed by the Holy Ghost. If you are going to dead, dry church and leaving still carrying your burdens, God has something better for you. The presence of Jesus in our lives will take care of our problems.
 
There is a sacrifice that is far better than what Moses offered on Mt. Sinai; it was offered at Calvary for you and I. There is a better hope and covenant. We are headed for a better country. The promise is better than where you’ve been and what you’ve gone through. Church is not just to make us feel good; it is a place to hear the truth so we can be saved. God is wanting to give us something more and something better. Are you satisfied with what you’ve got and where you are in God?

 

 

The Mandate, “Little By Little”
January 9, 2011 - Pastor D.R. McKillop
 
We have got to fight God’s battle, but there are times when He will fight our battle for us. When an enemy turns his back in battle, he is  the most vulnerable. There is a big difference in possessing and inheriting the kingdom. The vision we have received carries a weight that can be overwhelming so we need help to keep the vision in perspective. We need to keep our vision attainable; God knows that we can do it. This is not just something that 2011 will reveal, it has got to be a lifestyle, little by little. We can’t afford to increase faster than what we can possess. . God is all about walking, reaching, challenging, and keeping us out of our comfort zones. We shouldn’t be overwhelmed by the giants in the land that God told us we could overcome.
 
The mandate is going to take us to a new level of submission and trust. Until you have been challenged, you don’t truly know if you are submitted or not. The success of churches is to find the “Paul”  of that area they are in and being submitted to him. We have got to be connected to someone, we need one another to make it. God promised Moses that He would go ahead of him and drive the enemies out. Where would we not go if we knew that God was ahead of us taking care of our enemies? There is no barrenness or sickness when God goes before us. 
 
The only way for Adam to properly take care of the Garden was to be fruitful and multiply. Little by little we need to expand and take dominion. If Adam and Eve would have been busy following the mandate of being fruitful and multiplying, then they would have not had time to give ear to the enemy. Little by little we need to keep moving our boundaries out and possessing the Kingdom that God has in mind for us.

 

 

Its In My Bones
January 16, 2011, Rev. Wade Townley
 
Everything I have, I have because of the blood.  Over my head was hanging a pending judgment but God stepped in and said, "No!  You don't have to die, I'm gonna do it for you."  I don't have to be baptized in Jesus' Name, I get to be baptized in Jesus' Name!  The devil needs to take a look at the blood.
 
I CAN make it even with my shortcomings if I keep myself under the blood. Humanity may not be able to forgive and forget but God can and does!  Pending judgment would like to torment me but I've got the blood.
 
In Egypt, when God was getting ready to set the Israelites free from bondage, they had to have faith.  No one had been freed by the blood before, but their faith responded and they painted the doorposts of their home with the blood believing God was gonna do the impossible.  When God came that night, He wasn't looking at their shoes, or if they had eaten the right stuff, or if their clothes were on right but He was looking for the blood.
 
It's the blood that got them out just like it's the blood today that's gonna get us out of here and presented blameless.  With my spirit I serve God but with my flesh I serve sin so I've got to have the blood to cover me.  When Jesus sees me, He sees the blood not my failings and shortcomings.  I've got to have the blood!!!
 
I believe Jesus saves, and His blood washes whiter than snow!  We are saved by grace.  We have no bragging rights on being saved.  If we are gonna make a judgment, we need to do it on the side of the blood knowing how bad we each NEED the blood!!!  I don't need the things of this world but I DO need more of Him, His presence and His blood!!

The Birthplace of Revelation
January 30, 2011 - Pastor D.R. McKillop
 
You can’t learn revelation; it has to be revealed. Teaching will do you no good unless revelation comes to you. God wants to reveal Himself to sinners and saints. We need a daily renewal of revelation. Get up in the morning and start working on being saved. Don’t let the enemy torment your mind at the end of the day and tell you you can’t be saved if you have been trying to live right all day. We need to experience Him as our Savior. 
 
Where did Peter get his revelation? God sent him through a storm and what was beginning to consume Peter, Jesus was walking on it toward Him and bid Him come. Jesus was willing to endure the storm just to get a chance to reveal Himself to Peter. He got his revelation before the storm was over because he was willing to step out and see Jesus as he had never seen Him before. Jesus had a purpose in getting Peter to the other side of the storm. 
 
There are four principles to every trial: Presence- this should be enough to calm our fears. You will see a side of Jesus that you’ve never seen before during the fourth watch of the night.  Provision- He will be there for you in your situation. You step from presence to provision when He bids you to come. He will sustain you through the deep waters. Power- you can only stand living in the vise of your situation for so long and then Jesus comes by with the power to give peace. Purpose- no matter what the situation is, there is a purpose for it and God wants us to get to the other side so the purpose can be fulfilled.
