God's perception of the prophets and the prophets' perceptions of themselves are completely opposite. In this day and age, we are fully convinced that we know God's heart and are speaking on His behalf. But how can we be so sure? The prophets of this age are busy with full calendars and an abundance of activities. But what does the Lord say? They speak not out of listening to His word. They have activity but they do not have authority. God wants us as a church to be filled with His authority and to release His power. God wants His church to be a gateway to heaven. In this scripture, the Lord shows observation, offering, and gives us further understanding: Observation: We're so busy that we don't fully spend time with Him. The God that we worship is close at hand, and although we live in an age where everything else is close at hand, the great tragedy for our generation is that we think we know the Lord, but we have only scratched the surface of who He is. He is not JUST close at hand but far away, in need of pursuit. Offering: He is giving us access to His throne and wants us to come into proximity with Him. We have to disconnect to connect. There have to be seasons in our lives where we push back on all the other things that are close at hand. There are parts of God that can only be discovered when we give God our day. Understanding: It's the far away God that comes to us in moments of our life that marks us with calling, with commission, giving us faith and vision. The far away God ruins us for the ordinary and makes us say that we don't want anything else but heaven right now. We're sustained by the close at hand God, but revival is started by the far away God. There are some levels of demonic oppression that can only be broken with prayers to the far away God, so let's press into that today!

In our lives, we often strive to control certain aspects, but we must acknowledge that our efforts can only take us so far. When we attempt to control things, we are essentially admitting that we trust ourselves more than we trust God. However, it is crucial to realize that God does not want us to submit to Him partially; rather, He desires that we surrender everything to Him and trust in His process. It is important to recognize that our sins not only affect us but can also have an impact on those around us. As Christians, we are called to live as examples of the gospel, but our disobedience can lead to turmoil in other people's lives. There are several reasons why we might feel compelled to control things:  It is our default mode of operation. At times, taking control can yield positive results. We might feel impatient and rush God's timing.  In situations where we are following God's will and obeying His commands, we must trust that things will unfold as they are meant to. It is essential to understand that sin encompasses more than just our overt wrongdoings. Even if we make choices out of disobedience, we are still living in sin. When we place ourselves in God's hands, we can rest assured that regardless of the challenges we face, we will be okay because we are designed to be with Him. Therefore, it is crucial to let go of our need for control and surrender ourselves to His divine will. By doing so, we can live a life that is pleasing to God and be a positive influence on those around us.

This world can offer us a fleeting sense of peace, but as believers, we serve a God who offers us a peace that surpasses all understanding. Fear can often push us to make impulsive decisions, but when we allow ourselves to experience true peace, we can learn to be still and make wise choices. It's important to recognize that not all fear is created equal. Healthy fear can equip us to face challenges and grow as individuals, while unhealthy fear can hold us back and limit our potential. Instead of letting fear control us, we can choose to let it fuel our faith and motivate us to become better versions of ourselves. We should never allow the fear of the unknown to keep us from stepping into the fullness of what God has for us. Even when we feel like things are coming to an end, we must remember that it's not over until it's good. Fear may tempt us to break rules or compromise our values, but as followers of Christ, we are called to walk with grace and integrity, opening doors for others who are believing for the same things we are. So let us not be ruled by fear, but by faith in a God who offers us true and lasting peace. Let us use our fear to become stronger and better equipped to face whatever challenges come our way, always trusting in His goodness and faithfulness.

Being faithful and consistent is not always exciting and it's not always cheered on by people. However, it is crucial to keep our faith and consistently pursue the creator of our call. In the process, He gives us the confidence and wisdom to do what He intends for our life. Our faith should bring forth fruit, and to achieve that, we need to understand and implement the following points:  Faith takes a new vision. This new vision only comes when we seek the things above and not earthly things. We should not combat our heavenly promise with earthly reasoning. Instead, we should focus on our faith and seek God's guidance to acquire a new perspective. Faith takes action. Joshua didn't just talk about the word God gave him; he acted upon it. Similarly, we should not just talk about what God has asked us to do; we should do it. Taking action is a crucial step in fulfilling our call. Faith takes patience. We need to be willing to be inconvenienced in our day and age to see what God has said come to pass. God is good and just, and He will not cut corners because that goes against His truth and love. Faith takes consistency and commitment. We have to be okay with the process because it ensures that we remain expectant for the outcome. The process also ensures that we don't take the credit but give all the glory to God. Faith takes follow-through. When we try to take down the walls alone in our timing, we have nothing to show for it. However, when we obey and trust God and actually follow through with what He has asked us to do, we will see His glory come through like never before.  In conclusion, it is essential to keep the faith and consistently pursue God's call for our life. By implementing the above points, we can bring forth fruit and see God's glory manifested in our life.

The Lord is never unsure of the grand plans He has in store for us. When He created us, He put on both the hats of an architect and an engineer. His thoughts and plans for us are as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore. We are merely on loan from God to our earthly fathers. Therefore, the fact that we are still here means that the engineer has done something right. Despite the trials and tribulations that we have endured, we are still here, living and breathing today. This is because we have a purpose that we are yet to fulfill. However, it is not uncommon for us to forget that we need to rely on God, our Father, for all instructions and directions. We often forget that people are fallible and will, at some point, let us down. But God has no quitting point. He is always there for us, no matter how bleak things might seem. Many of us live our lives for God as if we are playing hide and seek. But God is not hiding in ways we cannot find Him. He is hiding just enough to create a sense of desperation in our hearts, so that we can seek Him with all our heart and soul. One of the most remarkable things about Jesus is that He is the only God who got into life with us. It was His compassion that compelled Him to meet us in our mess. And because the Father sent Him, He ran all the way. It is like the story of the prodigal child coming home. We get to return to our Father daily, no matter how far we have strayed. In conclusion, we must remember that we are on this earth for a reason, and that reason is to fulfill the purpose that God has for us. We must seek Him with all our heart and soul, knowing that He will never lead us astray.

God does not want us to worry about anything in our lives. In fact, He commands us not to worry. When we worry, we create chaos in our lives that was never meant for us to carry. To open the door to faith, we must close the door to worry. It is important to understand that worrying is a manifestation of an orphan mentality. It is when we think that we are pulling the yoke by ourselves and ploughing the field of life alone. However, when our faith is completely in Him, God will teach us the ways of life. He will guide us through the ups and downs of life, and show us the path we should take. It is important to trust in Him and know that He will never abandon us. With Him, we can overcome any obstacle and live a fulfilling life. Pastor Jeremy reminds us that God's command to not worry is not just a suggestion. It is a command that we must follow if we want to maintain a peaceful life. Worry takes our focus away from God and puts it on our problems, which creates chaos and anxiety in our lives. However, when we put our faith completely in God, He will teach us the ways of life, and guide us through all the ups and downs we may face. We must trust in Him and know that He will never abandon us. When we let go of our worries and rely on Him, we can live a fulfilling life and overcome any obstacle that comes our way. Moreover, the speaker highlights that worrying often leads to an orphan mentality, where we believe that we are alone in our struggles and have to bear our burdens alone. This mentality can lead to isolation and further anxiety. But when we trust in God, we realize that we are never alone and that He is always with us, ready to help us in our time of need. It is important to remember that we are not made to carry our burdens alone, but rather to give them to God and let Him carry us through our struggles.

We often forget that God is a Father God, full of love and mercy. No matter how good our earthly father is, they are still human and have flaws that can affect their parenting. Sometimes, we tend to see our Heavenly Father through the same lens we view our earthly fathers, but this is not the right way to approach Him. Let us ask God to renew our minds so that we can see Him for who He is, complete and whole, without any preconceived notions. Our Heavenly Father has adopted us into His house, and He is pleased to not just give us some things, but to give us ALL things. His love for us is boundless, and His grace is infinite. We can trust in Him with all our hearts, and He will never let us down. Here are 7 things that you may chase after if you are not rooted in the truth of God's love:  Passions: chasing after things that give us temporary pleasure and excitement, but ultimately leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled. Possessions: accumulating material possessions that we think will make us happy, but in reality, only create more stress and anxiety. Position: seeking power and status in our careers or social circles, thinking that it will bring us happiness and fulfillment. Performance: trying to prove our worth and value through our achievements and accomplishments, leading to burnout and exhaustion. People: looking for validation and acceptance from others, rather than finding our identity in Christ. Place: constantly searching for a better city, job, or environment, hoping that a change of scenery will solve our problems. Power: desiring to control our lives and the lives of others, rather than surrendering to God's plan and will for our lives.  However, we must remember that love must precede service, not the other way around. The Father's love gives us the ability to live the Christian life, and we must choose to put Him above all these things. What would you choose today? Let's ask God to help us choose Him and His love above all else.

In our generation, we are called to do great things. But in order to fully understand our call, it is important to take a moment to reflect on the ones who have come before us. We are not the first to run this race; we are simply grabbing the baton from the heroes of faith that have paved the way for us. And as has been the case throughout history, in every generation, God raises up a leader who does not fit in. This is because if you fit in, you won't need God. While it is exciting to look ahead to the next level, it is important to remember that the road ahead will not be easy. Just as Joshua was able to look past the giants that stood in his way, it was only because he never lost sight of his God. We must remind ourselves to keep our eyes fixed on Him, and to trust that He will help us overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. If you stay stuck in the past, you will never be able to break free from the system that is currently holding you back. God has called you to a new table, and it is up to you to use your maturity and growth to fight the new fight that lies ahead. When you finally reach the promised land, you may find that the Lord will no longer provide manna for you; instead, He will give you the seed to plant your own food. This means that you will have to fight for your future. But rest assured, you will not be fighting alone. God will be with you every step of the way. It is time to claim the territory of your life and to trust that God will guide you every step of the way. Take a moment to thank Him for getting you through your past, and for all that He has taught you along the way. But now it's time for you to be an active participant in your own story. You may have slept with your armor on, but as you continue to be fitted in righteousness, you will be able to fight the good fight of faith to the very end.

"To SEE" in the original language implies "to realize" and "to attain vision". This means that it is not simply a matter of dreaming about something that you cannot see, but rather, it involves comprehending what the Lord intends for you to grasp. If you are currently pursuing something, bear in mind that it all began with a mental image. This image only comes about when you align yourself with the Lord. However, in order to possess the vision that God has given you, you must be a good steward of it. Visionaries have the ability to bring things into existence by declaring and believing them, thus allowing us to alter the environment in which we find ourselves. For example, Elijah progressed from visualizing rain to experiencing an abundance of it. Praise functions as a conduit to our vision, allowing us to surmount the obstacles and impediments that stand in our way. Praise demonstrates that we have been in the presence of the Lord, regardless of the situation we find ourselves in. In the end, we may never receive validation from others about our vision. Nevertheless, as long as we have wise guidance, humble ourselves before God, and block out the noise around us, we will be able to see in the natural world what we have visualized in the supernatural realm. It's important to understand that possessing a God-given vision requires more than just seeing it in your mind's eye. To achieve it, you must take practical steps to make it a reality. This involves being a responsible steward of your vision, assessing your progress, and taking action to move closer to your goal. The process can be difficult at times, but it's important to remember that praise can help you overcome the obstacles and stumbling blocks that come your way. It's also important to have wise counsel and humility, which can help you stay grounded and focused on your vision. At the end of the day, seeing in the natural what you've visualized in the supernatural requires unwavering faith and trust in God. It's important to remember that the Lord has a plan for your life, and your vision is a part of that plan. By aligning yourself with Him and being a good steward of your vision, you can bring your dreams into existence and shift the atmosphere around you.

Love, Sex, and Dating MMXV Part 5 - Sex

In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson of Fearless LA shares a life changing message on how God defines what love is in 1 Corinthians 13. Ultimately, it is something we choose to do in every situation, and with every person. Love never dishonors, isn’t self-seeking or easily angered. What would happen if we actually started to believe and apply this in our lives? What would it take to keep loving every time they reject you, or to keep no record of wrongs? The goal is to love others the very way God loves us, exemplified in 1 Corinthians 13. Jesus hasn’t kept any record of wrongs because his love is not like man’s love. His love protects and always trusts. Ultimately, if we have been transformed by the love of Jesus, then we are able to trust others and operate from a place of overflow of His love. Let’s not make love our talk, but our passionate  walk.

Born For Greatness - Love is our Action, Servanthood is our Position

Deep relationships will always take hard work to maintain. As believers, we are called to build those foundations on the love of Christ. Through the offense, wounds, and moments of anger, we need to tap into the love of God to help each other grow. In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson unravels the idea that the ugly of relationships doesn't necessarily lie in the other person, but in the ugly things we haven't dealt with in ourselves.

In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson unravels the idea that the ugly of relationships doesn't necessarily lie in the other person, but in the ugly things we haven't dealt with in ourselves.

Your mind is a powerful thing. What you think upon enough, you eventually will become. What you believe or expect enough, many times happens. God calls us to be visionaries, those who speak to what is not as though it already is. He calls us to speak abundance in the midst of drought. In this podcast, you will be encouraged to get a new vision and to prophesy over your present situations, in order to see them line up with God’s Word.

We Are Fearless: Call Me Crazy but I Can See It

Have you ever felt that what you have to offer is insignificant? Has that feeling ever kept you from doing what you know you should do? Some times we let our fear of being unqualified get the best of us and in stead of doing what we can, we do nothing at all. In this podcast Pastor Christy Johnson takes a fresh look and the moment when Jesus fed 5,000 with a child's lunch, to help us better understand how God wants to use our "not enough".

Like iron sharpens iron so should our relationships sharpen who we are in Christ. Countless times we can find ourselves in relationships that not only are hurtful emotionally but hinder our growth spiritually. Christ wants us to have relationships that not only challenge us but also make us pour into one another not just take. In this podcast Pastor Christy Johnson dives into the biblical truth of relationships and how we form them.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: As Iron Sharpens Iron

Have you ever started building something, whether a new business, a new house, or even a career...and days, months or even years later, it collapses? Sometimes, we as humans think if we just keep doing a lot, God will be pleased with that. But to God, it isn’t about human DOING, but about human BEING: being in His presence and plugged into God the Father. Your “doing” is distracting you from “being” with God...and ultimately, He just really wants to know us and wants to build with us. And if we’re going to build great things with God, we better build a great foundation in God. In this weeks message Pastor Jeremy Johnson talks about the process of getting to the purpose, and how important it is to trust God in the process just as much as you trust him to fulfill the promise!

Foundations - I Forgot About the Process

Part 1 of "Paradigm Shift" by Pastor Jeremy Johnson, spoken on 8-17-2014.  Over the years, discoveries have been made and things have been invented that have shifted the way we think and the way we live our lives in a dramatic way. The automobile, the light bulb, the telephone, and the discovery that the earth is round. These new inventions and new information confronted the reality of what people believed to be true and opened the door for a completely new way of living. Before we saw these things in reality, though, someone had to have the thought in their mind that something greater was possible. We are told in Romans 12:1-2, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Many of us want to know our purpose. We want to know why we are alive on this earth. What were we created to do? What is the will of God for our lives? According to the Scripture above, before we understand what the will of God is for our lives, we must renew our minds according to God's Word. We must wash our thinking with the Word of God and begin to set our minds on heavenly things. It is only when we are transformed by the renewing of our minds that we can truly know the will of God for our lives. There has to be a paradigm shift in us. A paradigm shift in our thinking means that we look beyond our circumstances, our situations, and our issues and see a greater reality. A Kingdom reality. It is when we see from God's perspective that we can truly live a meaningful life and fulfill all that he has called us to.So dig deeper, renew your mind, and embark on one of the greatest adventures you will ever know. There is a purpose and a good plan that the Lord has for your life, and this is just the beginning! Food for Thought:1. Have you ever felt like you were created to do something great with your life, but you just didn't know what it was?2. How have you tried to fulfill the purpose for your life?3. Think about your present circumstances and issues. What is God's perspective on these things?4. What scriptures can you use to renew your mind this week?

Paradigm Shift part 1: The Rabbit in the Duck

As disciples of Christ, one the most faithful action we can take is to love others the way Christ loves us. We know that as humans, it is a challenge to love people well. We are often better at cutting people off rather than loving them unconditionally. So when we do love people unconditionally, we know it is supernatural. That type of love is not human; when other people see it, they see God through us! Not only that, but when we see it, we also know it is God. When we are loved well by people in our circle and in our community, it makes us grateful to God. It is that type of love that changes the atmosphere, the community, and even the world. In order to love others like that, we must first recognize and accept that God loves us despite us. When we begin to accept the type of love that God is offering, it instills in us confidence which, in turn, increases our faith. As our faith increases, we no longer wish for God to remove us from situations or remove barriers in our life. Instead, we ask for God to open our eyes to what He is trying to do. We begin to trust that His way is greater and that maybe, like Job, we don’t know it all. We humble ourselves in God’s presence and begin to realize that this game is fixed in our favor.
