The Best is Yet to Come - Pastor Brad

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Rick Morgan fills in for Pastor Brad and shares the message: "God Has a Knack." The word “Knack” is defined as:  “an acquired or natural skill at performing a task.”  --“An acquired or natural skill at performing a task.”  Isn’t that interesting. What this says to me is that God has the natural skill, and we have the acquired skill through the Holy Spirit that lives within us. But even before Jesus’ crucifiction on the cross and the subsequent release of the Holy Spirit to His believers, God was giving people skills to perform a task. He did this with David defeating Goliath in 1 Samuel 17:34-37, and again with the Isrealites bringing down the walls of Jerico in Joshua 6:1-27. God showed his "Knack" throughout the Old and New Testament. Are you ready to have enough faith by simply hearing to believe? God says in Romans 10:17: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” This is not an optional way to live as a Christian. It is the truth. And truth, I believe, is expressed to us by God freely … deeply engrained faith comes through practice and life experience. Prayer is practice: Listening to God is practice: Be still in your prayer and listen to Him. Reading the Word is practice: there is not a situation in your life or the world that is not revealed in the Word of God. Open up your bible, ask Him to show you. And through this “practice” you will gain life experience. Experience in your life where you can definitively say: “God got me through this before, I have no worries.” Remember the things God has done in your life and cling to them in times good and bad. Rember, God Has a Knack.

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. Today Pastor Brad speaks on the subject of turn around - God is a God that can turn things around. Daniel 2:20-22 says, "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him." God changes times and seasons. He also reveals deep and hidden things. Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 29:11-14 further shows how God is working in the believers life (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+29%3A11-14&version=NKJV). God has plans - even more than one plan. Pastor Brad continues teaching from the scriptures: Isaiah 40:4-5 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+40%3A4-5&version=NKJV). Your turn around could be slow, you may need time to adjust, but yet God is working. Exodus 23:30 says, "Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land." God wants to grant a turn around in your life. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues his teaching on The Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit came upon the Prophet, the Priest and the King. The Holy Spirit came upon people to do special things. In the New Testamant, the Holy Spirit is available to endwell us and also to come upon us in power for service. Pastor Brad begins teaching from John 7:37-39 s(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+7%3A37-39&version=NKJV) Luke 24:49-52 shows the disciples actually doing this. (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+24%3A49-52&version=NKJV) In Mark 16:15-20, Jesus explains how the Holy Spirit will work in the believers life (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+16%3A15-20&version=NKJV). These verses describe the power of the Holy Spirit that is given to believers. Matthew 28:18-20 tells how believers should use the Holy Spirit to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations ...,."(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+28%3A18-20&version=NKJV). Pastor Brad continues teaching from John 20 and 21 about the release of the Holy Spirit.  Remember the scripture says, "for all that are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad message is on The Holy Spirit. Pastor Brad begins his teaching in Isaiah 40:27-31 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah+40%3A27-31&version=NKJV). When you go through things that seem unjust or unfair do not doubt the goodness of God. God is real and faithful. We can trust Him. He is an everlasting God that has always been around. God does not get tired or weary. God gives power to the weak. He increases strength. No matter how weary you are, if you put your hope in the Lord your strength will be renewed. Remind yourselves of all the times God has been faithful in your life. There is a grace of God that is available for you to tap into through faith. Pastor Brad continues teaching from Psalm 92:8-15 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalms+92%3A8-15&version=NKJV). God has an annointing for your life - fresh annointing. There is a freshness in the Spirit of God. Declare that you have been annointed with fresh oil. We need the Spirit of God. We need the refreshing of God. We need the strength of God. We need a fresh annointing on our life.    www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues his message: What Are You Doing Here? Pastor Brad reviewed how Elijah had birthed God's promise that there would be an abundance of rain through prayer and belief. Subsequently Elijah had to go through a suffering in this. With the birthing there had to be a preparation for it.  Many times when there is going to be a transition in our life, there has to be a crisis. A crisis is a hidden opportunity and an opportunity to discover who Christ is. One of the biggest enemies that are a part of a crisis is time -- but God is outside of time, He is eternal. Just because there is a delay, there is not a denial. God is ahead of the devil. God is all-knowing. God told Elijah to take care of his physical needs (1 Kings 19:5 "Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.”). God does things suddenly. When we are in a season of transition, we have to learn how to feed ourselves spiritually. God taught Elijah that he was not the only one serving the Lord (1 Kings 19:15-17 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+kings+19%3A15-17&version=NKJV). There were many. God told Elijah that He was going to use him to release a generational blessing to be passed upon others. God is calling you into a new season and he has the answer to "What Are You Doing Here." www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues his message: What Are You Doing Here? Pastor Brad reviewed how Elijah had birthed God's promise that there would be an abundance of rain through prayer and belief. Subsequently Elijah had to go through a suffering in this. With the birthing there had to be a preparation for it. When God wants to do something in our lives there has to be a preparation on the inside so we will be prepared and the blessing won't be wasted (1 Kings 18:46). Whenever you have a breakthrough, you can expect to have an attack from the enemy. 1 Kings 19:1-9 illustrates this (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+kings+19%3A1-9&version=NKJV). God saved him in this instance, He sent an angel that said "arise and eat".  We have to sometimes take the time to rest, eat, feed on God, feed on prayer and listen to ministry. Once you get through this time, there will come an unusual season of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. If you have come through an unusual season of testing, you can expect and unusual season of refreshing. God is calling you into a new season and he has the answer to "What Are You Doing Here." www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad asks the question: What Are You Doing Here? When God asks you a question, it is a good thing to listen. 1 Kings 19 tells of the struggle Elijah went through for the word the Lord had given him that there would be no rain. Elijah was made to go on the run. Elijah was on the run and while hiding in a cave in 1 Kings 19:9, God asked him "what are you doing here, Elijah?" The Lord gave a word to Elijah. 1 Kings 18:41 says, "Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.” Elijah's promise was being manifested. Whenever we are called to birth a miracle there is a part that we can do, and there is a part that God can do. Third part of a miracle is that we have to make preparation. Pastor Brad continues teaching about 1 Kings 18 and how Elijah believed God's promise. Faith is now, hope is in the future. God is leading us into a new way of doing things. Prepare yourself for the things God is going to do in your life. 1 Corinthians 16:8-9 says, "But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries." It is a massive, huge and effective door. It is a door of activity and supernatural energy. God has a unique door with your name on it. God has a unique door for each individual and your annointing. There is going to be resistance. Think in a different way and adjust as God brings you into new places you have not walked before. Why are you here? www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues his message that encourages you to Aim For More Than Enough. God says that He will do exceedingly abuntly, beyond all that we can ask or think according to the power of God that works on the inside of us. 3 John 2 says, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." God is breaking the spirit of delay off of Pastor Brad's life and ministry. Additionally God is sending unusual finances from unlikely sources. The story of Lazurus in John 10 shows this - "if you would believe you would see." Genesis 13 tells the story of Abram and Lot seperating. Pastor Brad points out that when God wants to bring you into something new, into something you have never walked in before, there will be a seperation from other things. Do not just walk by sight. Ask the Lord. The Lord wants to bless you in many ways. Don't settle, aim for more than enough.  In 2 Kings chapter 4 a certain woman asked Elisha for his help. He instructed her to fill jars with oil, sell them to pay off her debt and then keep the rest. She had many jars to fill (and only because she ran out of jars did the oil run out).  You have something inside. The Lord has given you abilities. God wants to do creative things in your life in the area of provision. God wants to join his "super" with your "natural" and when that happens it will be supernatural and know that God is a God of more than enough. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week's message encourages you to Aim For More Than Enough. God is breaking the spirit of delay off of Pastor Brad's life and ministry. Additionally God is sending unusual finances from unlikely sources. Pastor Brad recounts the story of Elijah and the abundance of rain.   The supply may not come in the way you think. 1 Corinthians 16:9 says, "For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries." There is an open door, but you are still going to have adversaries. These advarsaries are going to cause you to go into a walk you have never gone into before. Revelation 4:1 says, "After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”" God has been opening heaven to people since the beginning of time. God has an abundance. God has more than enough. The open door is a door of Spirit and regeration. God doesn't work on just recovering the all, God works on recovering more than enough. See the open doors and confront the doors that have been closed. We are in a season that the Lord has opened a door to walk through and aim for more than enough. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues speaking about promises God has on our lives and assures us that The Promise is Within Reach. You may be in the midst of a difficult season in your life, but you are on the verge of significant change and that change is within reach. These promisses of God are going to manifest because of his great love for us individually. Isaiah 54:3 says, "For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited. Don't limit what God can do. Do not fear, this is your year! It is important to forget the shame of your youth. The love of God is deep within your heart. You are a lost closer to the promise of God than you think.  Review the things God has spoken to your life. Pastor Brad continues by speaking about the gift of the Spirit to speak in tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:13-15 says, "Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding." Love your neigbors and bless those who hate you (Matthew 5:43-45 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew+5%3A43-45&version=NKJV). God has given us a new heart and there is a grace to forgive and love. Finally, Pray to forgive yourself! The promise is within reach because of God and His great love. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

You may be in the midst of a difficult season in your life, but you are on the verge of significant change and that change is within reach. Romans 4:18,20 says concerning God's promise to Abraham: "who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” "He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God," God is calling for us to break off the spirit of delay and call for the promise of God for our lives. Isaiah 43:18-19 says, "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Review the things God has spoken to your life. 1 Timothy 4:14-16 says, "Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you." Finally, love your neigbors and bless those who hate you (Matthew 5:43-45 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew+5%3A43-45&version=NKJV).

Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you." Don't neglect the gifting that is in you. Begin to meditate and think on those things. How God wants to use you and how God has used you.   Pastor Brad continues by speaking about Prayer Cloths and God working "unusual miracles" (Acts 19:11-12 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=acts+19%3A11-12&version=NKJV). We are in a season where God wants to do unusual things. Remember the prophesies that God has previously made towards you and wage the good warfare. God never talks about what you will go through, the word of the Lord will try you, the word of the Lord will test you. Believe and the word of the Lord will work in your life. 1 Thessalonians 5:18-20 says: "in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies." The promise is within reach! www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues his teaching about healing and miracles. Psalms 107:20 says, "He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions." Psalms 105:37 says, "He also brought them out with silver and gold, And there was none feeble among His tribes." Over a million people that came out of the wilderness weren't broke and they were'nt sick. That was in the old covenant, in the new covenant we have a better covenant based upon better promises. 3 john 2 says, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." Christ died on the cross for our physical healing. God released a grace on the cross. What changes would you need God to make for His will to be fulfilled in your life? It will likely take some form of a miracle for you to be whole physically, whole in your mind and in your pocketbook.  Miracles are the natural language of God. God can move in healing and miracles any way He wants to. In Galatians 3:5 it says, "Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?" God is making plans for you all the time. He never sleeps.  Psalms 139:14-16 says, "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made ... (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalms+139%3A14-16&version=NKJV).  Miracles are just as normal to God as breathing is to us. For a miracle to get from heaven to earth a divine connection has to be made.  www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad's teaching is on "The Abundance of Rain." This message is derived from 1 Kings 18:1 which says, "And it came to pass after many days that the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth.” Pastor Brad continues by explaining the significance of this verse to our lives today -- in particular regarding debt and blessing. Romans 13:8 says, "Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law." The only debt we are to have is the debt of love. There is a grace of God to defeat debt. Have that strong desire on the inside of yourself to owe no man anything but love. God wants to do a new thing in your life. This comes from the inward Spirit in your life.    Pastor Brad continues teaching from 1 Kings 18:41-46 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+kings+18%3A41-46&version=NKJV). Pray a prayer of declaration as Elijah did. God is raising up a people to hear from Heaven and decree what the will of the Lord is on the earth. Elijah kept praying, again and again and the earth produced rain and fruit.    It is out of a relationship with God that He will show you great and mighty things. Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Faith is now -- not the future! There might be doors that have been closed to you for a while, but keep asking, keep believing and you will hear the word that will open those doors. There will be an abundance of rain. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues a fresh look in a new series of messages entitled the "Christmas Story." God, the Holy Spirit, prophesy, and the supernatural power of God was present in the Christmas story.  Pastor Brad begins teaching from Luke 1:5-45 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1%3A5-45&version=NKJV) which recounts the birth of John the Baptist who's parents, Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth were righteous, barren and faithful. They had waited for a child for a long time and then it finally came true. We are in a season of conception where things are going to be birthed - even things we have given up on. Pastor Brad concludes with the Angel coming to Mary and announcing the birth of Jesus to her. "He will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of His kingdom there will be no end." The favor of God will cause things for happen for you that you would never be able to do yourself. We are in a season where God is going to do things in our lives because the hand of the Lord is in our lives. When Mary heard the word of Elizabeth, the baby "leaped in her womb". This is what God does in birthing new things.  www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

An Angel appeared to the father and told him, "you will call his name John ... and he will be great in the sight of the Lord." John was called by the Lord to make people ready. We are in a season of conception where things are going to be birthed - even things we have given up on. You can expect God to openly vindicate you. Pastor Brad concludes with the Angel coming to Mary and announcing the birth of Jesus to her. "He will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of His kingdom there will be no end."

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week's message continues the teaching about God releasing new mantles in people's lives.  The word mantle means an important role or responsibility that passes from one to another. God releases a "mantle" for people to give people an opportunity to gain leadership and begin walking in a new assignment. The new mantles are not just limited to one thing in particular. One example of the release of a mantle was in 2 King 2:9-22 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+kings+2%3A9-22&version=NKJV). God took Elisha from the position of being a follower to the position of being a leader. Elisha got a promotion from the back to the front. Elisha had a mantle released because of his association with Elijah. Association can cause a new mantle. Loyalty to leadership can also cause a new mantle to be produced by God. A new mantle may bring change into your life. You may lose friendships, you may be rejected by others. But God's truth will speak to your mantle. God will use you to have an effect on others through your new direction. God places people in locations. He places people in a local Church. Psalms says if we are planted in the house of the Lord we will flourish in the courts of our God. We need to be planted in local Churches under Godly leadership. God in this season wants to release new mantles in people's live - people that want to follow leadership and walk with God. www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com

God releases a "mantle" for people to give people an opportunity to gain leadership and begin walking in a new assignment. A new mantle is often released as part of a generational blessing. God spoke of this in  Malachi 4:5-6 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Malachi+4%3A5-6&version=NKJV). God is raising up a new generation of leaders and preachers. The new mantles are not just limited to one thing in particular. One example of the release of a mantle was in 2 King 2:1-8 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+kings+2%3A1-8&version=NKJV).

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week's message continues a study on the Gift of the Spirit, specifically the Gift of Faith. The gifts of the Spirit are outlined in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+corinthians+12%3A1-11&version=NKJV). God wants us to know about the giftings of the Holy Spirit. God wants to manifest his gifts in the Church and in the world. When you move in your gifting, other people are profited. There are three power gifts - the gift of faith, the gift of miracles and the gift of healing. Everyone has a faith given from God, but not everyone has this  special power gift, the gift of faith. Hebrews 11:1 says, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. The gift of Faith expects a miracle. It might take some time to happen. The gift of Faith is as an anchor, and you can come back to it, while waiting in expectancy. Sometimes the gift of Faith can happen suddenly. This often happens for the benefit of others.  www.NewLifeBeginningsChurch.com
