8. Heaven Now

God designed mankind to live in pleasure. Join me this week to look at the biblical reality of living heaven on earth! Every person has the drive for a better quality of life. Jesus said He had come so that we could have the very best quality of life. The original language defines this to be the quality of life possessed by the One giving it. So, Jesus Himself said we can have God’s quality of life! If that is not heaven on earth I can’t imagine what would be. We can participate in the realm of ...

7. The Kingdom First

Jesus taught principles of living by priority. Join me this week to explore the proper order of things in the Kingdom. Priority living can make the difference in how successful your efforts are! When Jesus instructed His listeners to do something first, there was a reason for the priority that directly affected the result. Even obedience can turn out bad if you’ve missed the point for obeying. When first things are truly considered first, your heart is in the best place for receiving the maximum...

6. More Than A State Of Mind

Join me this week to hear how you can abide in the realm of the Kingdom rather than survive from miracle to miracle or rescue to rescue. The greatest witness is the person who draws others to God by their joy, peace, and demonstrations of love. The way we become such a witness is by abiding in the realm Jesus said is within. It is the realm where Jesus is fully Lord of our heart, and where all the resources of God are available and accessible. This is truly more than a state of mind; it is a way...

5. Heaven On Earth - Fact Or Fiction

Join me this week where I will help you enter the realm in which you recognize and know how to access all the resources of God! The New Covenant is a covenant of promise. It has the same promises as the Old Covenant, but the Bible says the New Covenant is better than the old. Why? It is a covenant between God and Jesus, not God and man. Jesus Himself obtained the promises for all and for eternity. Now, everything we need for life is available to us and this covenant can never be broken!

4. God Revealed

God has revealed Himself to mankind from the time of creation. Join me this week and let’s explore the abundance of both His existing and intended evidence in the earth. God’s intention has always been for His people to represent Him. He established the nation of Israel as a kingdom to whom He would demonstrate His heart and the other nations of the world could see His goodness and character. King Solomon was filled with the wisdom of God and many kings from other nations came to him for answers...

3. Perceiving The Kingdom of God

It’s difficult to have bold faith if you’re unsure about your perception! Join me this week as I share what Jesus taught about entering and accessing the Kingdom of God. Jesus said becoming born again allowed us to SEE the Kingdom of God; He didn’t say we ENTERED the Kingdom. Seeing the Kingdom of God is more than perceiving that a kingdom exists. It is perceiving the resources and truths of that Kingdom, or realm, being made available to us and operating in our lives! We have to perceive the Ki...

2. The Kingdom Revealed

Join me this week to gain greater understanding of how to live in and access the realm of the Kingdom of Heaven right now while living on earth! Jesus taught more about the kingdom of heaven than any other topic. His model prayer demonstrated the need to understand the gospel of the kingdom. It is clearly about far more than just going to heaven after you die; it is intended to be an integral part of our daily lives on earth!

1. Frustrated By The Promises

Jesus talked about heaven on earth which when heard by His audience held meaning tied to history that has been mostly lost in our present day. His listeners knew that the reference to heaven on earth was a reference to the Garden of Eden. Well, who doesn’t want to live in the paradise described as Eden? However, many of us have believed the promises, but have been frustrated by not seeing their fulfillment. It might seem as though they are a hidden treasure to which the map is missing. Join me t...

8. Forever Settled

The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet creates a picture of Heaven and Earth coming into harmony through the faith and authority of mankind, representing God as His ambassadors. Some would argue that we can’t take on such a responsibility, because we don’t know what God wants. Jesus gave us the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven and said whatever has been declared illegal in Heaven, we should declare illegal on Earth. Likewise, what has been declared legal in heaven must be declared legal on Earth. ...

7. Help My Unbelief

Everyone struggles with unbelief in certain situations. But in many circles, if you admit your unbelief, you are made to feel carnal or unspiritual. Jesus never condemned anyone for their unbelief without first seeking to help them overcome it. One of the most powerful miracles under His ministry happened with someone whose child struggled with a severe illness. Only when the man admitted his unbelief was he able to break through to see his child set free. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we ...

6. Lack Is Not Limits

Do you trust God to meet the need in your life or do you feel He will let you down? Lack is a feeling of desperation that leads us to seek an alternative source or not trust God to meet the need in our lives. When we come to God from the perspective that He will let us down, we have moved from lack to limits. Then, even though He floods our heart with His goodness, we judge God as being unfaithful. The only two battles of faith you will ever fight in your whole life are: is God who He says He is...

5. Miraculous Probabilities

Do you believe the miracle you need is simply possible, or highly probable? What moves something from simply being possible to probable is the fact that God proactively initiated the end from the beginning. Jesus’s part is finished. We believe that and receive that. The probability for health, or finances, or whatever you need already exists and you don’t need to get God to do it. It is a matter of removing the limits of doubt and unbelief from your heart and starting to conceive it in your hear...

4. The Power Of A Fixed Heart

Take steps to a powerful and steadfast heart which does not waver at the promises of God! The core lie at the root of all religious theology and deception relating to God is this: God is in control of everything; therefore, the horrible condition of the world is the proof that God is not really good and He can't be trusted. Like the children of Israel, when we don’t take steps to experience the power of a fixed heart and immovable trust, we put God on trial and judge Him guilty. But when your he...

3. Fix Your Heart First

How do I know when my heart is fixed? Please watch this video as we learn the answer. We can know that our heart is fixed when we do not waver, regardless of the bad report that comes. Why? We remain steadfast on the promises of God. We empty our heart of all personal opinions, are humble and open, and build our lives on the foundation of Jesus’ teaching. If the most valuable thing in your life is your relationship with the Lord and you are anchored in Him, your heart will hold firm in the storm...

2. Why Isn't God Coming Through

Where are you, God? Why am I not seeing the results that God has promised? There is something limiting God in our life situation. When we are not seeing results, we need to sort out what is really going on. Approaching God from a perspective that says we’re not sure if this is true or not, is to put Him on trial. Most of the time when we put God on trial, we have already decided He is not true. Every limitation in our lives is a limitation we unknowingly place upon God. Ask yourself: am I able t...

1. Stop Killing Your Dreams

The number one limitation we place on God is that we don’t believe how good He is. Living our dreams is not just about getting God to hand us something; He wants us to be the person that can live the kind of life we want. That starts in the heart through biblical transformation. Our life should be about BEING and HAVING, not becoming and getting, which is the ultimate limiting factor. God rules in our lives only to the degree that we allow Him to express Himself. Ask yourself: Do I believe in a ...

5. Harmonizing Your Heart

The Bible tells us one of the most important tools for making our life work just as God promised is the renewing of our mind! When we renew our mind with what God says in our heart, what we think and feel will all come into agreement. When our heart and mind are in agreement, there is no doubt, no wavering just immovable faith! Discover power keys to renewing your mind by harmonizing with God in your heart!

4. Connecting With God In your Heart

God is a heart God and under the New Covenant He promises to meet you in your heart. The problem is we have been taught to meet God in our mind. Instead of hearing the voice of God in our heart we think the voice of our intellect is God talking to us. That's the reason so many of our endeavors fail. God always wants to lead you away from lack and into righteousness. The key is do you know the difference between the voice of your mind and the voice of God in your heart? Join me this week for powe...

3. Writing The Truth On Your Heart

Truth only works when it is in our hearts. The problem is, we have spent a life-time writing negative destructive lies on our hearts about who we are, what we can do and how God sees us. When you know how to write God's truth on your heart, you can change anything about your life. When truth is written on your heart the bible says it will protect you when you sleep, it will guide you where you should walk, and it will protect you from a corrupted life. Join me this week and learn the Bible way t...

Moving Your Invisivble Boundaries

All too often our plans for health, happiness, success and even godliness seem to reach a boundary and all of our good intentions fall to the ground. Most of us fight that battle over and over again and then give up. But I've got great news for you! You can win this battle and break the pattern. In this week's program, I will show you how to move past the invisible boundaries to the fulfillment of the promises of God!

1. God Is A Heart God

God looks on the heart not the outward appearance. David and Saul were both kings of Israel who had deep personal failings in their life. Saul was rejected as King and David was established as king. What was the difference? David was a man after God's own heart! There may be many things in your life that are not as they should be, but the most important question is this, "Are you after the heart of God?" If you are, you will not only recover but you will find victory. Join me this week to begin ...

5. May The Fire Of My Altar Never Burn Out

Nearly every believer longs to recover their first love and first passion. They yearn for the days when their hearts were on fire with a vibrant sense of God’s presence. Just as the priests worked daily to sustain the fire on the altar, there are things we can do to keep the fire alive in our hearts. Join Abi Lopez and me this week as we discuss practical ways to keep the fire burning!

4. The Positive Power Of Desire

The Hebrew word translated as desire pictures a fish hook! Like a fish who has taken the bait and swallowed the hook, we can be reeled in any direction. That can work for us or against us. Righteousness can be a desire. When we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we are “hooked.” God gave us the capacity for desire. He wants us to use it for our good and not our destruction. Join me this week in CyberChurch and discover how desire can work for you to draw you to God and His promises!

3. Fire In My Bones

Life without passion is like eating food with no taste… boring! We are constantly motivated when we have a passionate purpose for our lives. Every day seems like an adventure. If you’ve struggled to keep your passion alive, I want to share some insights that will help you. Join me this week for a message I call ”Fire In My Bones.” It’ll help you keep your fire for God, or rekindle it if the flame is going out!

2. Is The Master Coming

We have been told that Jesus’ parables are nothing more than allegories, but that’s not what He said. He said the parables are the mysteries of the Kingdom presented in ways that only those who have a heart for it can grasp them! The parables are the most revealing teaching in the Scripture about how people who are following Jesus will live. In the parables, He reveals one of the primary reasons people get off track and lose their passion for God. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we answer th...

1. All Consuming Fire

Why do so many believers lose their passion for the things of God? I am forever seeing people’s social media posts blaming the Church for this pervasive “spiritual affliction.” But, rather than finding the people we will blame, I want to find the solution. Who cares why we cool off? I care about how we can reignite the fire that once burned brightly in our hearts or help those who have never had a burning passion for all the things of God! Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discover the secr...

5. Preparing The Meeting Place

We know everything in the Old Testament was written for the benefit of New Covenant believers. Everything we want to know about Jesus and the New Covenant is revealed in the Old Testament. This is where the Apostle Paul received his incredible revelation of what we have in Christ! The Old Testament temple is a type of the New Covenant believer: spirit, soul, and body. Knowing how the temple was sanctified in preparation for God and man to come together in intimate fellowship shows us what needs ...

4a. Thanksgiving Special: A Life Of Gratitude

No one has ever become happy by finding happiness. The happiest people on earth are those who are grateful. Gratitude is a choice. We become grateful when we choose to notice the good things in our lives. Unless we express gratitude to others, it never accomplishes in us or others what we desire. Join me this week as I share tips and tools about how to step into another realm of life where all you see are the good things, as we discuss A Life of Gratitude!

4. Divine Friends

Jesus extended every believer the invitation to be more than servants. This doesn’t mean we cease to be servants; it means we become more than servants. As children, heirs, disciples, and ambassadors, we will always be servants. But as friends, we get to enjoy a level of personal interaction unheard of by mere slaves. One of the key promises to those who become friends is the opportunity for God to share what He is doing both in our personal lives and in the world! Join me this week as we explor...

3. Show Me God

God showed His ways to Moses. Why? Because Moses wanted to know Him. He wanted to know His character. He wanted to know what to expect! He wanted to know that He was actually following God instead of some religious perversion based on the pagan influences of his childhood. Psalm 103:7, says, He made known His ways to Moses. The word “ways” implies that God would show Him things that He does in a way that would cause Moses to perceive His inward character! In other words, God would reveal Himself...
