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. 

The Word of God: Love

In our series The Word of God, we have been looking into the importance of getting back into our Bibles. We can get our daily scripture, watch a short video or even hear a sermon, but nothing is as powerful as getting into the Bible and reading it, while the Holy Spirit guides you into all truth. Today, we are looking at the Bible as a love letter from your Father. How would you ever really know how He loved you, unless you read what He said about you. Man has many opinions but let's see what He says. 

The Word of God: Dominion.

In our series, The Word of God, we have been visiting the importance of getting back into the reading of our Bilbes. In today's society it is easy to read one scripture posted on social media, watch a quick 15 second video, or see that one daily Bible app post. We discovered that the Bilbe is likened unto bread or food, water and breath or air. How long could you survive without food, water and air? The body of Christ is starving to death, dehydrated and oxygen depleted! Today I want to show by example why it is so important to really get back into the reading of our Bibles. There are some things you'll never know unless you fully read your Bible in context of the other scriptures. 

The Word of God: Breath.

In our series, The Word of God, we are rediscovering the importance of your personal relationship with the Word. Too many have been distracted from the reading of our Bibles in our own personal time. We have already seen the Bilbe is likened unto bread and water. Today lets look at the breath of God. The biggest argument against the Bible being God's word is it was written by man and it is filled with errors. Lets take a look and see if we can refute these arguments. Would you only eat and drink and breathe once a week? Lets talk about it. 

The word of God: Water

In our new series, The word of God, we are looking into what it is that Jesus said about the importance of the word. Many have sacrificed the reading of their Bibles on the altar of, "Give me a word from Heaven." They want a prophecy, A, "Thus says the Lord." Which in and of themselves are not bad things, but if they are not based on the word of God, we are going to have problems. This new series is expressing the importance of allowing God's word to be a part of our daily lives. The word is likened unto bread and water. How long can one go without eating or drinking? The devil likes to come in like a flood but God raises a standard against him. The standard is the word. Lets talk about it. 

TheWord of God: Bread.

In our new series, The word of God, we are looking into how important is reading your Bible? Many today say they want a word from God, but will not crack open the book. They want the prophet of God to give them a word or the preacher to tell them something from God. They refuse to see the importance of hearing God through the Bible. The Bible is likened unto bread. It is our daily bread, meaning it is a daily susuitance, as you feed your body every day, you should feed your spirit man every single day with the word. It is sustaining bread. Again, knowing we are talking about the word of God, we must sustain. Your bodies need constant food to live, so it is in the spirit. 3 it is our true bread. Just as ingredients matter in the natural, so it does in the spirit. What are we putting into that spirit man? Lets talk about the word today.
