Many there be that have an appearance of success. Others are still in bondage through attempting to do all the right things. It is God's will for us to become Christian's that are easily recognized, successful, overcoming, free and powerful. In this message we find the tools to use to build on our faith and love.

The prophet admonishes us to ask for the outpouring of the Holy Ghost. Joel, Peter and James all affirmed the will and promise of God to give it. The key is in the asking which is ours to do in faith. Ask and ye shall receive!

The way to go up is by going down first. Jesus taught that the way to find our true life, be happy and fulfilled is by loosing our life of self will, selfish ambition and strife. He came as a servant and calls us all to a life of servant hood in His kingdom. Embracing this life is to embrace the will of God and is the way of promotion and honor.

This spirit has been readily accepted as the ultimate spiritual experience in many churches in our era. However it is a deception!We see what the Holy Spirit says will be the end of those who continue with a closed door to correction and fellowship with Jesus Christ. Oh, but what comes when we open the door!

When Jesus began to give words of Spirit and Life to His followers,many were offended and ceased to follow Him. In these last days before His return He will again give us hard sayings. Who will be able to hear them? Who will go away?

Before the coming of Jesus the heavens over man were brass.Though there had been a few piercings over time, they had never been fully opened.Now you and i can experience the powerful, life changing open heavens in Jesus Christ.

Exposing the enemies lies and revealing the truth of Gods plan. This word will anger some but liberate others. Which will you be? Choices are placed on our plate. Choose Christ and live.

The scriptures place great value on being full of joy. However, when joy becomes withered away people sink into the depths of bondage. We see in this message the cause and affect. We also see the healing when people turn to God.

Ichabod is kind of scary word I know. However, we must seriously look at the departure of the gory of God. Why it's going or gone. What will bring it back.

How we need a fresh awareness of the presence of God! An awareness of His truth, mercy and goodness at work. This will produce action on our part that will usher us into His presence. Come, enter, thank and bless His name!
