The picture may not be what you want it to be because the cup of suffering is a bitter cup to drink from but Jesus declared that His cup of suffering brought Glory to God. Are you willing to let the picture that God is painting to be perfect for all of mankind to see?

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/ATwXt8xw1yI   Picture Perfect seems to be just a fairy tale or a fantasy to so many but the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Issac has declared that He is God almighty. God is not slack concerning His word. If He said it, then He only ask that we believe. On the other end of the spectrum Satan has painted a picture for so many and they see it to be perfect but God's words says that there is only pleasure for a season.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/Oz5eWQ8T_-s   Ever wondered why the picture of your life doesn't correlate with what you think it should look like?  Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness because of faith.  What God has called us too, will match our expectation of what we think it should look like.  God's plans for us are so strategic and every step will point us and others to Him.  His plans are for good and to prosper us, to give us a future and a hope!

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/2xEC53uWHJg   Think about how often you become annoyed with life and people around you. We instead of being distracted with the annoyance, shift your focus to the assignment. The assignment carries so much more weight than the annoyance! God has purpose and we are placed on purpose for His purpose. Don't lose sight of the calling just because our walk with God doesn't look like what you think it should look like. Be steadfast and continue to walk out the assignment even if your whole world is crumbling.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/KGPUDxbomwM   Part 7 sheds light on how we are to give just like God gave us His son.  The gift of love to all people.  Yes, even those that don't deserve it.  Not everyone will received our love with open arm and we continue to see this so obviously in our current society.  Something to think about when giving to all, that a gift is a gift not a prize.  A prize is what we receive as an accomplishment.  Also, take to heart that love concours all things. Because God is love!

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/mNthZ7EO7pY   Part 6 brings our attention to how we should  be encouraging our brothers and sisters in Christ.  This encouragement may not be pleasant to the ears but it will be good for the heart of those that are struggling or going astray. This encouragement must be accompanied by love as we walk according to the commandment of God's word to strengthen the brethren.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/j17uTPso2Vg   In Part 5 this is where the rubber meets the road. Question after question and scripture after scripture we find out what 2 key principles of the Christian faith. Worship and the Fear of God. These two principles are often ignored within the life of most self-proclaimed Christians. This message will highlight if these traits are visible or lacking in your walk with God.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/KY9Amzq413Q   Within Part 4, truth will be hard to swallow but this truth will cause us to be refined into the precious jewel that God created. God isn't refining us to bring harm our way but to remove all of the things that has caused us to be impure. The fire is hot but if we allow this fire to change our molecular structure, the very things that are not of God will be revealed. They will appear and this will be the opportunity to become so much more valuable. Just like God stood in the fire with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and kept them from harm, He wants to do the same for you. Will you let Him refine you?

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/lRnNg4jlj38   Part 3 is reeling beginning to reel in how much we are accountable in our practical wisdom. Self-control is not a very popular topic but if the word of God addresses it then we must spend time in His heart to bring understanding within our actions. When an individual practices for a particular event or task they must be disciplined and intentional in every move. We have to know that this practice will be put to the test. Join in with us and find out God's heart on this subject.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/SHRWOURs1MY   In Part 2, the Holy Spirit gets straight to the point. The second trait that supplements our faith is knowledge. This is simply defined as "Practical Wisdom". Putting into practice the knowledge that God has been and is speaking to us often! When we fail to operate in this trait, Peter says that we are short sighted and blind. If we could view this perspective that when we fail to practice this knowledge then we are walking in disobedience. King Saul found this to be true because his obedience was incomplete and this caused him to be rejected. What has God been speaking to you that you are neglecting to follow and place into practice? Listen closely within this message and hear what Holy Spirit has to say, and you will find that all He wants to do is bring us to the Heart of God!

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/iUprAiOx9CQ   God gave me a specific disclaimer to speak to each individual that inclines their ear to this series. As we are beginning a new series, I know within my Spirit that if we could pay attention to the detail of all that God will reveal to each one under the sound of His voice, He wants to excel you into deeper fellowship and deeper understanding of revelation within this series. The depth of how you allow this word to reach will be reflected within your faith. Peter gives us specific instruction on how to supplement the grace of God upon our lives. And he encouraged the church that if they would apply these attributes, that they would never fall way. We are given the same if we can place into practice these very qualities!

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/m9_ge8pQZpo   Pastor Gabe brought an amazing word from God's heart this morning. As he used James for the example of not who we see ourself as but who we actually are in Christ. A bondservant to the most high. James could have stated himself as the brother of Jesus but chose to state his true identity as a disciple of the Kingdom of God.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/3aR9I_hqTOs   In the closing of this series, it’s vital to allow part 8 to hone in on all the other positioned that we have preached on.  Part 8 places emphasis  of our full surrender to God's will while neglecting our own.  There is much more that could have been spoken within this series but if we would go pack and listen intently we will find that the Holy Spirit covered more than what we heard the first time.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/X7RazZ9lxHg   Part 7 brings continual insight on revelation. Seeing and hearing are key to understanding the plans that God has for our lives but this type of seeing and hearing must be revealed to us by His everlasting word. Within today’s message, we will show the statistics of how often the believer is reading God's word and how often a believer reads determines how much change is visual in their life. As King Aram sought to stop the voice of the Prophet Elisha (the direction of God) for Israel, Satan too is striving to make God's revelation silent in your life. You have to make a right now decision and allow your actions to proclaim your out loud choice.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/INQsLtlty9Y   Positioned to Hear......Which voice are you hearing and which voice are you responding to? Are you hearing the truth but choosing to reject it? When we fail to harken to the truth of God's word (JESUS) we have ultimately chose a lie. Will you except the truth and be set free by the precious blood the Jesus so willingly gave for us.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/GwO5qBtbhB8   Part 5 is about the Position to lead. But we must understand that this is not only a stance for Pastors and Leaders in the church but for every single Christian. God wants to Position us to Lead people! The great commision covers this as a commandment from Jesus before He ascended to the Father.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/TvrFHlUk7zg   Positioned For Promotion. Within our promotions there has to be a testing. We cannot determine how long the test will be but we can determine if we keep taking the same test over and over. Joseph took so many different test and the passing of each test caused him to be promoted to the fulfillment of God's word. Those that are promoted become God's provision for those that celebrate with you. Are you celebrating with those that are excelling in the dream that God has given them.

YouTube:  https://youtu.be/EnncU7j-Kbg   Jesus fed the 4,000 and didn't ask the disciples if they had enough to feed the crowd. He simply asked what do you have. Elisha asked the widow woman what did she have in the house. She replied that she only had a small jar of oil. She was instructed to borrow pots from her friends and neighbors and to fill all of the pots with her oil. Jesus spoke to the disciples and gave them a story of what Heaven is likened to. The three servants that were given talents but only 2 brought increase to what they were entrusted with. When we invest whatever God has given us for His glory, it becomes multiplied. We are given so much more than what we started with. Are you multiplying in your position? If not, then you should be questioning if you are in the right position.

YouTube:     https://youtu.be/h3G_0CHhnIk   In Part 2 we should see the obviousness within the biblical story of Noah that his obedience became someone else’s blessing.  Our obedience must be synonymous and suffer the same persecution that he must have witnessed during his 100 years of building a boat that would place you and I here right now.  God is calling each one of us to do something that seems to make no sense to everyone around us but must view this through the lens of God's heart, that my obedience becomes your blessing.  The question is will you fully obey what God has called you to do?
