Once we’re born again, we’re designed for a seamless heart-to-heart connection with God. The reason the Lord deals so vigorously with fear and all its relatives—bitterness, jealousy, and those things—is because they throw a monkey wrench into that [...]

So the people who turn their affection toward the ongoing manifestation of the abiding presence of the Spirit of God dwell in a habitation where, even when it’s dark, it’s only a testimony of His nearness. All right, verse 1 of Psalms 91: «He who [...]

We don’t limit God by failing to imagine what He’s capable of doing; we limit God when we lose the wonder for what He’s already done. Wow, well, good—uh, no, is it still morning? It is? No, no, it is not. Good afternoon! Good afternoon! Nice to see [...]

Lifestyle joy isn’t living in denial that hard things are happening; neither should I subject my heart, my personhood, to the difficulties going on around me; otherwise, they define me. Joy is—I was going to call it the back door; maybe it’s the [...]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, wow! Well, I have no jokes today. You know, I could find them if I needed to, but I wasn’t in the mood. It’s so good to be here; it’s such an incredible privilege to have such a large [...]

See, his longing is always to accomplish significant things through co-laboring with the yieldedness of his people, those who have been made in his image. Created in his likeness, they would respond with the same heart as he has. So here we are in [...]

I was designed for a seamless connection; that’s my nature. I was designed to hear from God; it is in my DNA to produce fruit for the glory of God. Is it happening? If it’s not happening at the place where I’m laying down my life, then I need to [...]

Everything in our relationship with the Holy Spirit is about discovering and manifesting the resurrected Christ. Everything is connected because without the resurrection there is no forgiveness of sin; it is all tied to the resurrection. Thanks! [...]

The enemy will always try to attack the last thing God said to you. He can’t change who you are; he can only alter your confidence in who you are. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Well, I love you too. You are unusually nice. Thank you. Um, by [...]

I would like to suggest Jesus came with authority because he said yes to the mission, but he came with power because of the encounter. Your authority comes in your yes to the commission, but your power comes in the encounter. Jesus came to Earth [...]

There is something about the testimony that instinctively breathes courage for radical obedience into our souls. It’s a part of the process; it’s how we remain strong in our confidence and faith in God. Psalm 78—are you there? We’ll start right with [...]

Filter what we’re doing is learning how to engage in the right war in the right battle so that those powers no longer have influence over people’s thinking and lives. All right, um, grab your Bibles. We’re going to read—oh, I have to read something [...]

So when you and I maintain saltiness, it’s because we’ve maintained a connection to God’s purposes and plans on the earth. You are the salt of the earth. If the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be [...]

There’s something about first love that needs to be revisited on a regular basis for every one of us. The key verse for my life is Proverbs 4:23, which says, «Watch over your heart with all diligence, because from it flow all the issues of life.» [...]

The journey is merely a relational journey, and in this journey, He adds all these things. Yes, He brings blessings; yes, He brings prosperity; He does all those things. But it’s such an interesting journey because anyone who builds a relationship [...]

Pearls are developed through irritation; gates of praise are built by responding to difficulty and glorifying God. I had a very unusual experience about one o’clock this morning. I had this phrase going through my mind, and then what seemed like a [...]

You’re a city set on a hill. What’s the point? You are in a conspicuous place so that those who recognize their need for shelter, resources, or belonging—whatever it might be—know where to go because they can see a light. A city set on a hill; you [...]

If I am only familiar with the works of God, I will at least know a miracle is possible; but when I see the heart of God, I begin to see a miracle is probable. What you dwell on shows me what you value; it’s what you treasure. If it’s incorrect, if [...]

The point is that the heart is significant; it is the seat of emotion, the place of affection, and the foundation of our values. Our lives are determined by what comes from the human heart. I believe that the command to pray without ceasing is key [...]

I reveal what I value by what captures my attention. If a problem leads me to fear and anxiety, it is misplaced worship. Learning what is within us is not merely introspection; it is through the Scriptures. We sang it tonight: «I’ve got a river of [...]

Anytime I become impressed with the size of a challenge, I have lost sight of the size of the promise that weighs over my life. I want you to look at three very strange verses with me: Numbers 14, Matthew 6, and Psalms 23. All right, they may seem [...]

It doesn’t mean where I was was wrong; it just means there’s more, and I have to leave something behind to get there. See, you can only live where you’ve died. If you could picture a grain of wheat, you have the stem, and the wheat grows, and around [...]

We don’t have it all. The Bible does not say, «I have the mind of Christ.» It says, «We have the mind of Christ.» It says, «Our Father who art in heaven.» There is something that is gained in the corporate expression that you cannot gain any other [...]

When he brings healing to a broken heart, it doesn’t, at least for me, initially start with answers. Most of the time, I don’t need answers anyway; I need a person, I need presence. If I can have the peace that passes understanding, I’m good, which [...]

Wave, and yet they’re lacking in the nutrients or in the very thing that was meant to define their future because they became preoccupied with the devil instead of with the Lord, who created a place of intimate fellowship in the middle of a problem. [...]

A yielded imagination becomes the sanctified imagination. A sanctified imagination is positioned for vision and dreams. It’s the sanctified imagination that becomes postured to hear and to see from God. I believe that there’s a whole new release of [...]

In that tent during that time with students, I started to rediscover something that hadn’t been lost; that would be wrong to say. However, there is always a freshness to his presence that almost makes you feel like you’ve never had it before. It’s [...]

Every time I found that God revealed He was with an individual or a group of people, it was always connected to their impossible assignment. He revealed His presence because He told them to do something they could not do. Verse 9 says, «Have I not [...]

Amen, amen, amen. All right, well, good morning! Good to see you; glad you showed up. Merry Christmas! How many of you, uh, like to get your shopping done by October? I’ve met a few of you; you amaze me, and you scare me a little bit, but you amaze [...]

It says here, «If God is for us, who can be against us?» In verse 31, he is not saying nobody can be against us; he is just saying anyone who is against us doesn’t get to vote. They don’t have a say in the outcome of things. If God is for us, who [...]

Taking her thoughts hostage until they are transformed in nature and actually reflect the fact that there is nothing impossible—He has a redemptive solution for every situation. He will cause every situation that pertains to my life to work for [...]

The enemy knows he cannot get me to deny the existence of God; I’m too far in for that one to work. However, what does work at times is when I find myself pondering a problem without the hope of a redemptive solution. Wisdom enables a person to rise [...]

Beautiful, well, good morning! Good to see you. Glad you showed up. How many of you were a part of the Randy Clark Healing School and Conference this week? How many of you made it to that? We had such an outrageous time; I’m still a little bit [...]

The ability is in the Word of God; the life is in the Word, not the soil. The soil creates the conditions, the atmosphere, but the energy of God is in what He said. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus says, «If you don’t understand this parable, how will [...]

Somehow, seeing the eyes of a loving father recalibrates every value in my soul. «If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face.» The face of God is what we are invited to pursue; think about that for a [...]

But the word here to prove is a very interesting word; it actually is a word some of your translations have. It means to approve the will of God. It doesn’t mean that somehow you and I are the ones who give approval for what God is doing on the [...]

And we take that which God has spoken, put it into word form, and make decrees. Some things just have to be spoken. Well, good morning, nice to see you! How many of you had graduations to attend this week? Anyone else? I have a couple of them; yes, [...]

The Lord invites us into the inner chambers, if you will, of the King of all Kings, the Lord of all Lords, the great I Am, to converse with Him so that, through the conversation, certain events can be changed and certain things can be affected on [...]

He doesn’t give us the exercise of prayer to keep us busy; he gives us the assignment to pray because of his intention to fulfill the prayers that we pray. Thank you, thank you, thanks, thanks. By the way, Ben Fitz and I think three or four of his [...]

Verse 18: These are the ones sown among thorns. They are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word. Listen to me carefully: You and I, with our [...]

Verse one, we’re going to read eight verses. Verse one: I am the true vine; my Father is the vine dresser. Jesus is giving a lesson, a metaphor, an illustration of an extremely profound reality. Let me tell you where we’re headed before we get there [...]

You’re the light of the world; you’re the salt of the earth. We’re here to bless the community, add flavor, and provide context for people to belong and find meaning. Yeah, thanks, please be seated. It’s so good to see you. I’ve been looking forward [...]

Every word, every thought, every action, and every ambition either comes out of love or comes out of fear. Everything is governed by one of those two influences. Open your Bibles to Exodus chapter 14. I love Old Testament teachings; I really do. I [...]

Every word, every thought, every action, and every ambition either comes out of love or comes out of fear. Everything is governed by one of those two influences. Open your Bibles to Exodus chapter 14. I love Old Testament teachings; I really do. I [...]

The resurrection of Jesus was for you; it was for you. Had there been only one human being on the planet who sinned, and that one person was you, everything Jesus went through, He would have gone through for you, for me. Every one of us is going to [...]

Here’s one of my main goals for today: that everybody in this room could come to a place where we would say, «I only want what comes from His hand. I will not pursue anything in life that is not His heart, His plan, or His idea for me.» There was a [...]

Go ahead and sit down. Thanks, thanks so much. Um, well, I love you too. Thank you. I just feel so much love in the room here. There we go. It’s too high; I can’t see you well on the floor. It was months ago we weren’t able to meet in here, so we [...]

Learn to pray out of abiding. Learn to pray out of the presence. Learn to touch and tap into the heart of God, express that in prayer and decree, and let’s do what we’re supposed to do: make a difference on the earth. It’s from our knees that we [...]

God, I must have more of You; I was born for more than what I’ve seen. God, I must have more, and I will pay any price. I’ll be the guy who’ll pay any price, and I would pray that I would. I got to where I would actually wake myself up in the night [...]

Wow, wow, wow, Jeremy! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the years. Oh goodness! A little kid in children’s church didn’t quite get the Lord’s Prayer down correctly: «Our Father who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen!» My wife invited [...]
