Life In the Spirit

Effective Prayer

Prayer should be effective. When prayer feels or becomes ineffective, and it doesn't seem to work us, ineffective prayer results in prayerlessness. There are some reasons why our prayers can seem to be ineffective. In this message we examine some of the reasons why prayer becomes ineffective. 

The Authority of Scripture

Have you ever been stuck in a rut? Sometimes we get stuck in a because we make choices and live outside the authority of scripture. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live the word God. The Word of God and the Spirit of God working in tandem together in a believers life.

Jonah Part Three

Like Jonah sometimes the body of Christ has difficulty sharing the grace of God with people who desperately need the grace of God.

Jonah Part Two

Like Jonah we've all made poor choices, mistakes or have been disobedient. There are consequences to our poor decisions and disobedience. However God can use those consequences for a redeeming purpose. The gifts and callings of God are irrevocable.

Jonah Part One

Jonah has been called the reluctant prophet, the runaway prophet or the disobedient prophet. It can be easy for us to cast stones at Jonah for his disobedience to God's plan and purpose for his life. Yet many of us are guilty of the same reluctance or disobedience. God calls us to do something and we go in a different direction away from God's plans and purposes.

Drawing Near To God

We are as close or near to God as we desire. If we want to experience a closer relationship with God it's available to anyone who will come and seek God's face. God has done everything on His part to make a close relationship with Him possible. All we have to do is to supply the want to and the commitment to get closer to God.

Can These Bones Live?

If you have ever felt like you can't go on, all hope is gone our you feel trapped; the vision God showed too Ezekiel of a valley of dry bones will encourage you. Whatever the dry bones represent in your life can live again.

An Advantage To Experience

Jesus said it was to our advantage that He goes away so the Holy Spirit would come in His absence. The Holy Spirit is a divine person, not an impersonable force. He is an advantage born again believers should experience.

Spiritual Gifts Part Two

The gifts of the Spirit are still available to all born again believers. The gifts of the Spirit have a ministering purpose and greatly assist believers in Christian living and furthering the kingdom on God. In this message we are concentrating on the gifts of revelation: word of wisdom, word of knowledge and discerning between spirits.

The Holy Spirit Series: Spiritual Gifts

There are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit recorded in I Corinthians chapter twelve. Those gifts are relevant and available to all born again believers. Spiritual gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit to believers for a ministering purpose.
