Third Great Awakening, Comes After Breaking up our Hard Ground
John, Pat, and Chris discuss how it’s not about what we say Jesus is; it’s what we do that proves who He is in our life. In the gospel of Luke 6:46-49 Jesus asks a very important question to some who were gathered. He says “why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?” They continue to share that there is a No Lordship gospel being preached. Just preaching Jesus as savior but separating and excluding the need for His Lordship in a person’s life at the time of salvation. Jesus said you can’t have two masters you can only serve but one. Jesus is clearly not interested so much in what we say but more interested in the fruit in our lives that point to a fully surrendered and obedient life to Him. They remind us that Your walk walks, and your talk talks but your walk talks louder than your talk talks.
John, Pat and Chris share about a 9 year old Basketball phenom named Jaylin Flemming. He is so good that colleges are interested in speaking with him now. Many of the coaches who have worked with him speak of his incredible talent even going as far as to say he could be an NBA prospect one day. They continue to discuss children in today’s society and how advancement has slowed down their development. So many children today spend hours on, watching TV, social media, computers, and video games and spending little time doing things with their hands and minds causing them to exercise critical thinking. They challenge us to introduce our children to a relationship with the Lord and be the primary teacher and influencer in their lives especially in the things of God. Children that have accepted Jesus into their heart don’t have a little Holy Spirit inside of them. We can raise our children’s vision higher even at young age.
John, Pat, and Chris share that if you belong to God he is on your side. They remind us in God’s word in Psalms 44:1-8that if we belong to God He is our defender and protector and He alone holds victory for us.
LISTEN NOW! John, Pat, and Chris, discuss the winter blast that is affecting 20 states in the Midwest. It has even snowed in California and Arizona. They remind us of the perfect storm prophetic word given by John Paul Jackson. This storm would have five elements one of which is geophysical: earth, solar, and weather. These are just more signs of the times and warnings for us to repent.
John, Pat and Chris share about encountering Jesus. They continue to discuss that what follows an encounter with Jesus is that people desire to follow Him. They shared about people in the Bible who encountered the Lord. Many have mistakenly believed that they have encountered God but they have instead encountered religion. The difference is that religion is an exhausting and dreadful experience in contrast encountering Jesus is an overwhelming wonderful feeling causing you to feel loved and grateful and yearning to encounter Him more. You can encounter God and when you do your life will never be the same.
