Submarine ships allow for people to operate beneath the ocean's surface lavel. It costs time, labor, fuel, and materials to make this possible because we are not designed to be there. Orcas are the ocean's most powerful predator, yet if an orca finds itself beached, it is completely helpless, just as we are under water. When you operate within the authority given to you, nothing can stop you. But when you operate outside of your authority, anything can exhaust you compltely. We are given the freedom by God to operate under His authority, His Will. Are you living under the Kingdom authority?…

Provisions are things we think about in preparation for a task, challenge, or season ahead. We pack, prepare, stock, make sure to have the necessary provisions for what's coming. God's provision a little different than our short term understanding. When we agree with God's vision and choose to obey and follow the Holy Spirit, we are aligned and he is "pro" for the vision. He provides for us not only in our daily needs, but setting up and providing for our entire future so that we are set up for success as we trust in Him. How can you see God's provisions preparing in your life?…

Everyone has a strategy for everything, even if that is improvising. God's strategy for building the Kingdom is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit took the place of Jesus with us on earth after His Ascension. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we operate completely the way that God has intended. When we are close with the Holy Spirit, we are obedient to God's will, building the Kingdom. How can you fit into God's strategy this week?…

Pride and humility go hand in hand. The opposite of pride is humility. Ultimately, pride is what keeps us from not operating in God's Spirit. We want to live our way, to follow our desires. The base of humility is putting aside our pride and letting God be in command of our life. How can you walk in God's humility this week?…

Faith is simply defined as having trust in something. Whenever we pray, we are requesting something from God, choosing to believe that He will then fulfill that request. God wants for us to trust that He will follow through with His promises and what He's spoken to us. God wants our trust to be in Him, that we will have faith in Him. How do you need to trust God in your life?…

Appearances are not always what they seem to be. God doesn't want us to live for Him only on the outside. He Doesn't want us to perform and only appear to be good. God wants for us to be in communion; in relation with Him. He desires for us to spend time with Him and leave the world behind for Him. God's essentials in our relationship are simply to be with Him and be committed to Him. How do you need to come back to the essentials in your relationship with God?…

Many people prepare for storms as they come. Stock water, food, toiletries and necessities to live in the case of emergency. Parents prepare for children and everything that they will need to be taken care of. God wants to prepare our lives for the things He has for us. All He needs us to do is to say "yes". How is God trying to prepare you for a new season?…

Wisdom is not something that is guaranteed with age, experience, perspective, or circumstance. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Once we respect God's position in our lives and we seek Him and His presence, we then will receive wisdom. Living out our lives in God's plan, the way He intends us to live will inpart wisdom in us as we learn His ways and desires for our lives. How have you mistaken wisdom recently?…

Rebuke and Discipline are words that often carry a very negative connotation to them, especially in today's Christian world. We hear these words as all powerful, condemning forces. But this is not the way that God desires to or actually carries out these actions. God desires for His views to become ours. And so we then receive correction, perfectly, so that we can be more like Him as long as we truly pursue Him. How is God trying to correct you in your daily life?…

"Forgiveness will always be difficult when we elevate our sense of judgement over God's" - Ps. Jeremy Louison. Many times in life, we find God's forgiveness and mercy hard to believe. We make mistakes, choices we regret, things we believe we can never take back. We find it easier to forgive other people over ourselves for our own regrets. But God's forgiveness is so much greater than anything we could ever imagine. What do you need to remind yourself that God forgives you for so you can forgive yourself?…

God often reveals Himself to us in strange ways. He also reveals Himself amidst our storms, struggles and problematic situations without making Himself apparent in the moment. This week, Pastor Jeremy brings a word on Jesus' resurrection revealed to two unknowing individuals traveling home from Jerusalem. How has God revealed Himself amidst your storms?…

We as believers are called outside of an Orphan mindset, where we focus on ourselves and how we can survive in life. But our Calling is to Sonship under the Father. This week, Pastor Jeremy gives a powerful sermon on our identity as believers in Christ Jesus. How can you move out of the Orphan mentality?…
