What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Thankfully, Jesus Himself answers this question emphatically.Luke 9:23 tells us to:Deny.Die.Follow.To be a disciple of Christ is the choice to daily to renew our mind with God’s Word, crucify our flesh, and killing off our old self and our old ways. Following Christ means: I can not do what I want! I can not say what I want! I can not live how I want!All for Christ, to live is death, to die is gain Pride will tell you that you’re good, that you don’t have anything you need to let go of. Pride will be the death of many.Refuse to live in self absorbed comfort, accept the command of sacrifice, and watch the fullness of life God will bring to you!

Behold!Arrest your mind, fix your eyes on Jesus He was the lamb providedHis was the blood shedRedemption comes through Christ blood and His blood aloneSet your eyes on Him today and trust in Him and Him alone!The blood is enough to handle ANYTHING!!!

Faith is the pathway from where you are, to a future that you can’t currently see Not only does it give you the strength to step forward, your faith is the stability you’ll need in the midst of uncertainties of life. Seasons of transition are full of tension, a constant pull between what was and what is to come. Many times, fear can become crippling, and the doubts of the enemy overwhelm the voice of God. Joshua 1:5-11 is a resounding reminder that God’s promise of His presence is all we need to make it!!!!! Through ups and downs, highs and lows, losses and victories, good and bad and everything in between: GOD IS WITH YOU!!!!He has been steady for all eternity, build your faith on the foundation of His unchanging nature and confidently walk in to place God is calling you!!!!

The enemy is out there, he’s roaming around, looking for a way to get to each and every believer. 1 Peter 5:8 gives us a stern directive: be disciplined of mind and attentive of spirit. Believers; quit opening doors and quit renting out rooms to the enemy and wondering why your life is the way it is. The Word is your weapon. Read the Word. Meditate on the Word.Clothe yourself in the armor of God, lift up a song of praise, and watch as the enemies attacks fail time and time again!

NOTHING in life changes until you get FED UP! So many of the prisons in our life are created by our own unwillingness to confront what the enemy has sent to distract. It is time for the body of Christ to rise up and say: NOT ANOTHER DAYStop playing games with the devil and put him under your feet! Speak with authority to that distraction of the enemy!Rejoice in the goodness of the Lord despite your circumstance and watch the chains break and freedom reign!!!!!

Revelation 6 reveals the opening of the seals and the rise of a coming world leader the Bible calls the Antichrist. He will appear persuasive, charismatic, and convincing to the masses, presenting himself as a man of peace while quietly gaining power. But behind the deception comes the unfolding of the other riders—war, famine, and death—showing how quickly the world can unravel.Yet even in the chaos, nothing is outside God’s control. As the sixth seal opens and creation itself begins to shake, humanity realizes the truth many once mocked: God is real and the Lamb is King.The message of Revelation isn’t fear, it’s victory. The same Lamb who judges the earth is the Lamb who was slain for us, and those who have bowed to Him will be able to stand.Join us next week at MDWK as we continue into Revelation Chapter 7.

LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!The Kingdom of God is seasonal, and runs in rhythms of sewing and reaping. Jesus spells this out clearly in the parable taught in Matthew 13:24-30. The enemy is sneaky, planting seeds of offense, doubt, bitterness, division, distraction, and so on. One of the most challenging things to do as a disciple of Christ is to wait! Learning to be still in faith is a process, one that we MUST learn if we are to walk in victory. Jesus’ parable teaches us:Good seed does not exempt us from bad things.The enemy always marks places of potential.Corruption is not the same as destruction.Understand the wisdom of waiting.Remember, the seeds grow in to weeds. And those weeds can seem intolerable. However, they only pop up when the harvest is near. Center yourself in the joy of the Lord, get quiet before Him and rest in the peace of His season. Run your race with patient endurance!!!

The Lamb Has the ScrollRevelation 5 opens with a question that shakes heaven: Who is worthy to open the scroll? John weeps because no one qualifies… until heaven interrupts the moment with a command: “Stop weeping.” The Lamb steps forward, scarred but sovereign, and everything shifts.We learned that Jesus is our Kinsman Redeemer. Redemption required proximity and qualification and Christ didn’t redeem us from a distance. He came near, took on flesh, and made a way for us to be more than forgiven. We’re not just saved, we’re adopted, grafted in, and given a new identity. The seven seals point to divine completion and security, and this single scroll is the key to what unfolds next.When the Lamb takes the scroll, weeping turns to worship. Heaven breaks out in a praise break before the seals even open because heaven already knows the outcome. The Lamb is not passive, He’s packed with power (seven horns) and perfect wisdom (seven eyes). And in the middle of trouble, God doesn’t have to “find” you, He’s already th

Where do you reside? Spiritually speaking we all reside in either the uncertain land of hope or the certain realm of faith. Here’s the thing; hope lives in tomorrow while faith lives in today

Culture shifts. Headlines change. Uncertainty rises. But Revelation 4 pulls the curtain back and shows us what never moves: God is still on the Throne. John is invited “after this” into a glimpse of what’s ahead, and what he sees isn’t chaos, it’s order, glory, and government.This chapter reminds us that the rapture and the second coming are not the same event. Scripture paints a picture of believers being caught up “in the blink of an eye,” rescued from the coming wrath, because God doesn’t save His children just to pour judgment on them. The rapture is a divine moment for a ready Bride, and heaven is already signaling that something is coming.John describes a throne surrounded by an emerald glow, echoing God’s covenant with Noah. On earth the rainbow appears after the storm, but in heaven the rainbow surrounds the Throne, showing us that mercy surrounds justice and God carries His people in His heart. Lightning and thunder are not theatrical, they’re divine warnings. The world wants the rainbow without the

Is your life Holy Spirit driven? Do you know how to hear the inaudible voice of God? God is spirit, and He speaks to us in spirit. Making decisions and basing obedience on feelings and intellect is a fast track to a life full of disfunction and wrong direction. If you want to be led by the spirit:

God’s Rejection is Our Protection Newsflash!!! God doesn’t give us everything we ask for. Sometimes He says no. Instead of wallowing in frustration and disappointment, let’s have faith filled responses to God’s holy “no”. 1 Samuel 16 gives us a definite understanding that our view is limited. What we see and perceive is not the full picture the Lord has. We must trust that His plan and His way is greater than what our heart is set on right now. Don’t build an idol in your heart to your own plans, instead anchor your faith in the unchanging Father who knows what is best in every situation!!!!Walk in obedience to God’s word and refuse to attach your hope to an outcome, but rather the character and person of Christ. If you do that, you will be able to have the right perspective when God closes doors and look forward to the future He has in store!

Some of you have been watching the wrong radar. You’ve been checking the economy. Checking the diagnosis. Checking the politics. Checking the opinions. But I’m coming to announce something different…There is a forecast over your life that didn’t come from earth.If God said rain, it doesn’t matter how long there’s been drought. If God said favor, it doesn’t matter who tried to close the door. If God said increase, it doesn’t matter who tried to decrease you.There is a shift in the atmosphere. There is pressure building in the spirit. There is a front moving in that hell cannot stop.Heaven’s forecast is not fear. It’s not defeat. It’s not delay. It’s glory. It’s breakthrough. It’s overflow.
