Passing the Test: Prosperity

In our series, Passing the test, we have been looking into the tests that every man, woman and child must go through to reach the destiny that God has for them. This week we looked into the prosperity test. You want to know where someone is, talk about their money! This test really hits some where it hurts. The word, tithe has really gotten a bad rap. We want to take a very biblical approach in understanding what's our side to this and what's God's side. What takes place when we do give and what takes place when we refuse? This is a big test, let's talk about it. 

Passing the test: Power

In our series Passing the test, we are looking into the tests that all of us will go through to be able to get to the destiny that God has laid before us. These tests are designed to build your character because that's the foundation in which destiny will be built. Today's test is the power test. Where does power come from? Who does power come to? Why does power come? Lets talk about it. 

Passing the test: The Prophetic

In our series, Passing the Test, we are looking into the tests that all believers will go through, to make it to their destiny. Destiny is built on character. God is always looking to build our character through testing. We have been using the life of Joseph to see the patterns that we will all find in our lives as well. Today, what about the prophetic test? God speaks a word into your life through prophesy and then what? We must learn how to submit our word to His word, test my word, and hold onto the word given. Lets talk about it. 

Passing the Test: The Prison

In our series, Passing the test, we are looking into the tests that all believers will go through to make it to their destiny. Destiny is built upon charater. God is looking to grow our character through a series of testing that all of us will find ourselves in. We have been looking into the life of Joseph. It begins with the pride test, to the pit, the pit to the palace and the palace to the prison. What do we do when we find ourselves falsy accused and placed into a prison of sorts? Its how we steward our responses and actions that's going to determine how long this prison sentence will last. Lets look at the keys to making it through the prison test. Here we find tests, inside of the tests!

Passing the test: Purity

In our series, passing the test, we are looking at how to navigate and grow through these tests so that our character can be built to support our destiny. Character is the foundation of destiny. This part of the test can be a tricky one. We come out of the pit and into the palace, things seem to be working in our favor, and it's easy to let your guard down. Joseph was doing good, running the place, things are looking up, Im out of that pit, Im in the palace, but its here that sexual impurity awaits. We must pass this test because so much is affected when you don't. Lets talk about it. 

Passing the test: The Palace.

In our series, Passing the test, we are looking at how to navigate and grow through the tests that all of us will face at some point. We have been looking into Jospeh's life to learn how to navigate these tests. We started with pride, the pit and today the palace test. 4 things involved with this one: The presence of God, (which causes you to prosper) obedience, faith and the word of God. It's God's word that builds faith in us to obey and once we obey the Lord we can get into His presence where we will prosper in all we do. Its in this phase of testing we begin to see that destiny is possible. Lets talk about it. 

Passing the test: The Pit

In our series, Passing the test, we are looking into the tests that come into our lives. God will give to every man and woman a destiny. Once he reveals His destiny for your lives, He will begin to test your character. Character is the foundation of destiny. Last week we looked into the story of Joseph and how God gave him a dream that revealed his destiny, but pride got in the way which led to this week's podcast, The Pit. We all will fall into a pit at some point in our lives but it's what we do there, that will determine where we go. Once in the pit, we need to look at the position, what got me here? Perspective, why and how and what is really going on here? And purpose, God, what can I learn from this. Pass this test and you can get one step closer to destiny. 

Passing the test: Pride

In our series Passing the test, we are looking into the tests that every believer goes through to be able to make it to their destiny. Anointing wont take you where your character cant keep you. These are tests that will be taken all through our lifetime. We can see these tests when we look into the life of Jospeh. God gave this boy 2 dreams. Joseph bragged about his dreams to his family. God recognized pride in his heart and gave him these dreams so that he could begin to deal with the root of pride. He was feeling small and inferior to his older brothers who hated everything about him, so he began to allow pride to form his speech. How do we pass the test? Lets talk about it. 

The Word of God: Light

In our final podcast of the series: The Word of God, we look into how God's word is light. When we have lost something, what do we need? Light. When we need to see the way on our path what do we need? Light. So that we dont stumble, and get caught up on something, what do we need? Light. Lets talk about it. 

The Word of God: Spiritual Sight

In our series, The Word of God, we have been looking into the importance of getting back to reading our Bibles again. We have seen that the word of God is likened unto many things to show us the side effects of not having that daily relationship with the Word. We saw it is likened unto food, water, air, love among other things and today, Spiritual sight. How long can one be expected to make it without eating, drinking, breathing or seeing? You will never be able to understand the Bible if you simply look at it with natural sight. Spiritul blindess is robbing us from understadning. Lets talk about it.
