Series - The GHOSTs Of Christmas Past - Part 1 - GUILT - 11-29-15LifePointe Church
This is Part 1 of Pastor Chuck Bernal's 2015 Christmas message series titled, "The GHOSTs Of Christmas Past". "GHOSTs" is an acronym for: GUILT, HOPELESSNESS, OFFENSE, SORROWS, THREATS. This first message deals with the three causes of guilt and how Christmas proves four ways God forgives us. This message was delivered on Sunday, November 29, 2015.
This document outlines an agenda and activities for a meeting about faith. The agenda includes prayer, singing, and two activities. The first activity involves guessing names and may include deception. The second prompts discussion about daily expectations. The document then defines faith from the Bible and discusses how faith is part of everyday life, grows through God's word, is necessary to please God, and is a power that can move mountains when one has even a small amount of faith. It closes by noting that faith requires action.
In Isaiah 9:6-7, thousands of years of biblical history are spanned in the short course of a few sentences. The passage begins with the “son who is born to us”, pointing towards Bethlehem’s child. But the titles and job description that follow remind us that Jesus is the Eternal Son of God incarnate who will fulfill all of the prophesies concerning the coming King and His Kingdom. Thus, Bethlehem becomes the site of the greatest of contrasts, the fragility of a child humbly born in a feeding trough, and the destiny that is His. No king has ever been born in a lowlier way and no king will ever possess a greater rule and authority. He was born in Bethlehem but will reign in Jerusalem and in the New Jerusalem.
The document discusses childbirth as a metaphor for spiritual fruitfulness and persevering in faith. It notes that giving birth involves struggle but is followed by joy at new life. Similarly, living for God involves suffering but results in eternal reward. The key aspects are preparing through alignment with God, positioning for his purposes, persevering through challenges with motivation from understanding one's purpose and God's grace, and producing spiritual fruit. The ultimate joy is Jesus, who sustains believers and is the reward of their labors.
Cultivating the excellent manifesting the kingdom life styleOKE OLUSEGUN
The document discusses cultivating an excellent spirit and manifesting the lifestyle of the Kingdom of God. It states that the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy given by the Holy Spirit, and it is within a person rather than external. It describes how through exercising faith and developing virtues like knowledge, self-control, and godliness according to God's divine promises and power, a person can partake in the divine nature and be guaranteed entrance into God's eternal Kingdom. It likens this process to the relationship between a vine, its branches, and the production of fruit, requiring connection to Christ to bear good fruits of the Spirit.
This document provides a call to pray for the deaf and hard of hearing around the world on June 12, 2011. It lists seven areas of "disasters" - earth, life, spiritual, new generation, financial, political, and church disasters - and provides a corresponding Bible verse and crisis/prayer for each. It encourages Christians to remain strong and anchored in their faith and hope in God during difficult times. It was created by the New Life Deaf Church prayer team to share with churches for worldwide prayers on that day.
This document discusses how to overcome negative thoughts. It recommends claiming God's word and putting on the full armor of God to stand against the devil's schemes when reminded of flaws. Specifically, it quotes Ephesians 6:11 about standing against the devil and Psalm 27:1 about having no fear because God is our light, salvation, and strength. The overall message is that looking to Jesus and relying on biblical verses can help dispel discouragement from negative thoughts.

This document provides an overview of the first half of the church calendar, beginning with Advent and the Epiphany season. It discusses the significance of Jesus' baptism by John in the Jordan River, including how it foreshadowed Jesus' death and resurrection and embodied God's faithfulness to Israel. The document also includes prayers related to the Epiphany and Jesus' baptism.
Powerful internal evidence that the Bible is divine in origin. Human wisdom would not and could not write such content, couching shadows of Jesus in the Old Testament before Jesus came.
This document summarizes a message given by Nik Ball about God's vision for the RRCC church. It discusses several things God has said to the church based on passages from Genesis and Isaiah, including that God will go with the church as it moves forward and fulfill all his promises. God has called the church to be a light to Gentiles and has given visions of replanting and regrowth. The church needs to respond through deeper worship, pursuing new premises and ministries, and all members getting involved through cell groups and serving. Individual and collective response is important to avoid missing out on what God is doing and hindering church growth.
The document summarizes the key points of the Christmas story told in Luke 2:8-20. It discusses how the angels brought the good news of Jesus's birth to the shepherds, proclaiming that a Savior, Christ the Lord, had been born. It notes that believers are called to share this good news of salvation through Jesus with others who have not yet believed.
This document provides an overview of key figures and events related to Christmas. It discusses who we are according to scripture, choices people make daily, and the roles of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit in planning and bringing about the birth of Jesus. It then summarizes the involvement of Mary and Joseph, Caesar Augustus, the innkeeper, shepherds, Magi, King Herod, and the holy family's flight into Egypt as part of the Christmas story. The overall message is that God had a plan from the beginning to send his son Jesus into the world through the cooperation of these many individuals.
The document discusses the biblical story from 2 Kings 7 about how King Jehoram of Israel reacted with anger and hopelessness to a prophecy of future prosperity, while Elisha and others maintained hope in God's word. It highlights how God often answers prayers in unexpected ways using unlikely sources, and how maintaining an attitude of hope even in dark times can lead to recognizing God's answers when they come.
The document discusses how an angelic message brought light and joy to shepherds in Bethlehem on the night Jesus was born. The shepherds were in darkness and silence until the angel announced the birth of the Savior. Though their circumstances did not change, the shepherds' lives were transformed by the message of hope. True joy comes from finding sustenance in God through all difficulties, not from avoiding problems, as his provision brings relief even in suffering. Spiritual nourishment from God's grace allows believers to find joy despite life's hardships.
This document discusses how discouragement is a weapon that the devil uses against Christians to get them to think, pray, say, and do wrong things. When discouraged, Christians may pray for death, curse God, doubt their faith, or act out of fear instead of trusting in God. The document provides cures for discouragement, such as acknowledging feelings, reading the Bible, praying truthfully, and speaking with other Christians. It encourages readers to find encouragement in Jesus by coming to him through faith, repentance, confession, baptism, and faithful living.
This document provides an overview of key figures and events related to Christmas. It discusses:
1) Who we are according to passages from Ephesians and Psalms about God creating us and having a plan for our lives.
2) Key figures involved in the birth of Jesus including God the Father who planned Christmas, God the Son Jesus who humbled himself as a human, and God the Holy Spirit who overshadowed Mary.
3) Other figures like Mary, Joseph, Caesar Augustus, the innkeeper, shepherds, Magi, King Herod, and their roles in the Christmas story based on passages from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
The document discusses how Christians can get discouraged and provides advice on how to respond properly. When feeling discouraged, Christians often pray the wrong kinds of prayers, say the wrong things, think the wrong thoughts, do the wrong actions, see things the wrong way, get into the wrong places or mindsets. Instead of reacting negatively, the document recommends admitting your discouragement, seeking encouragement from the Bible, praying truthfully about your feelings, and speaking with other Christians for guidance to overcome discouragement. It concludes by reminding readers that salvation comes through hearing, believing, repenting of sins, confessing faith in Jesus, and baptism.
This document discusses light in both the physical and spiritual realms. It notes that God is the greatest light and Christians should shine God's light to others. It encourages believers to let Christ's light illuminate them so they can shine their light to glorify God and penetrate darkness through an active faith. The document concludes by urging readers to become faithful lamps of Christ by getting saved through hearing, believing, repenting of sins, confessing Christ, and being baptized.
The document discusses different perspectives on the problem of evil between Christians and pagans. It notes that from a Christian perspective, evil is abnormal and temporary, while goodness is forever normal. It also outlines different coping strategies in Christianity for direct and indirect suffering, as well as divine purposes for allowing suffering such as evangelism. In contrast, it notes that pagan religions like Baal worship view good and evil as in constant mix and struggle. The document then shifts to discussing tithing practices in Israel and obligations for Israelites, Ger, and Nokree. It closes with a quote from Tobit describing tithing practices.
This document discusses the importance of realizing that God is for us. It lists 3 things we should do when we realize this: 1) Run to God rather than hiding from Him, 2) Live from God's approval rather than for it, and 3) Not fear what happens because God is working in us. It encourages living with overflowing appreciation and divine anticipation of God. Key Bible verses referenced include Isaiah 9:6, Psalms 86:5 and 66:16, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:31-32, and Proverbs 18:10. The document was presented by Pastor Alan Esporas at Faithworks Christian Church Global on December 3, 2017.
The document discusses how Christians can shine their light in the world through Jesus. It encourages walking in God's word to gain strength and knowledge. Christians are called to immerse themselves in God's work by teaching, baptizing, and teaching more to all people. The goal is to keep focused on Jesus and finish the race of life strongly by fighting the good fight and keeping the faith until receiving the crown of life. Believers are able to begin living victoriously today by hearing, believing, repenting of sins, confessing, and being baptized into Christ to then remain faithful to him.
The document discusses the Christian hope in the second coming of Jesus, the resurrection, and eternal life. It provides Bible verses highlighting that Christians have hope in Jesus' return, the resurrection of believers, and everlasting life through faith in Him. The conclusion states that Jesus solves humanity's problems by offering hope through His second coming, resurrection of the dead, and gift of immortality.
Finding rest in strange places 1 seth gatchell november 29 2020Pacific Church
The Christmas message clearly spells out the deity of Christ, but this is not just a theological issue with which to ponder. It is meant to jolt us out of our spiritual stupor (sleepiness) to obeying "Jesus Christ our LORD." If obedience in our daily lives is replaced by right theology, then the boat has sailed without us.
The document discusses why people refuse to believe in Jesus and the essential components of the gospel message. It explains that people refuse to believe because their hearts are sinful and they love darkness rather than light. It then outlines the gospel as: 1) Humans are sinful and spiritually dead, deserving God's wrath. 2) Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross to pay for sins, and rose again. 3) To be saved, one must repent of sins and place faith in Jesus. The gospel brings forgiveness and restores a right relationship with God.
This document discusses claiming God's promises and confessing faith words from the Bible. It argues that believers should claim God's promises because they are intentional, conditional, and unfailing. Believers should also confess faith words because the Bible is powerful, truthful, and alive. To possess what the Bible says, one must claim God's promises for their life and confess what the Bible says to believe. The conclusion asks the reader to identify promises they want to possess and faith words to declare for others.
The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God as the instrument for change in people's lives. The Bible provides hope for change, imparts the keys to change, and provides examples of people who succeeded in changing, such as Saul who became Paul. With the Word of God, circumstances, finances, physical conditions, and lives can all change, as it corrects one's focus and provides portraits of hope for when change is needed in others. The Word shows how persistence in faith can lead to change, as with the woman with an issue of blood.

The Word shows how persistence in faith can lead to change, as with the woman with an issue of blood.
This class examines the basic foundational beliefs of the evangelical Christian church with a focus on God, Creation, Revelation, and the Fall. It discusses what a worldview is and provides examples of evangelical worldviews on God, Creation, and Revelation. The document outlines that evangelicals view God as the Trinity, the Creator of all things visible and invisible, and that revelation came through creation, conscience, and ultimately Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible.
The document provides information about BOLD Ministry, including details about their meetings in New York City. It then summarizes a prophetic word encouraging people to arise from dormancy and exercise their spiritual gifts. The rest of the document discusses the concept of influence, defining it as control that determines outcome. It argues that influence is important for bringing in harvest and experiencing God's power, and that Christians are called to be influential in the world through the fruits, gifts, and works of the Holy Spirit.
The document discusses the importance of maintaining spiritual, mental, physical, and social health. It emphasizes that health is not merely the absence of disease, but a complete state of well-being in all four dimensions. Maintaining this optimal level of health requires making changes to lifestyle and behaviors.
The document discusses the concept of worldview and how one's worldview shapes their thinking and behaviors. It emphasizes that having a biblical worldview versus a non-biblical worldview leads to different perspectives. Additionally, it stresses the importance of knowing the truth, with Jesus defined as the truth, and warns that Satan spreads deception so many will not accept the truth and be condemned. Finally, it contrasts the truth with relativism and subjectivism as alternative philosophies.
A worldview is the set of basic assumptions that help people make sense of reality and affects their actions, thinking, and behaviors. Everybody has a worldview, whether biblical or not. It is important to know the truth because many will be deceived and God will send a strong delusion for those who do not love the truth. Jesus is the truth, and knowing the truth through spiritual experience and knowledge of God's word is important for salvation.
The document discusses the importance of publications like papers and books in spreading spiritual messages to people. It notes that publications can reach and influence many souls, doing a greater work than preaching alone. One passage encourages preachers to preach the straight truth even if it is unpleasant, as false teachers preach only smooth things. The overall message emphasizes the role of publications and bold preaching in proclaiming spiritual truths.
This book will directly benefit those who care about the world of finances: personally, professionally, and politically. In my studies and research for a book I am writing (Book of Revelation, the Final Frontier), I am discovering many correlations between money, the end-times and personal suffering. "I believe as you read this book, your experience will be much like ours – one of an encounter with the Lord!" - Robert Cornelius Email Author: drphinney@iomamerica.org
The document discusses how people's view of material possessions can indicate their level of spirituality. It notes that Jesus taught that those in God's kingdom should not define themselves by their wealth or possessions. The document then gives several examples showing how pursuing wealth and consumption can negatively impact people's health, relationships and morality. It concludes that how one views and uses money reveals one's spiritual priorities, and that a focus on materialism often indicates a lack of understanding of spiritual truths.
This document discusses spiritual and philosophical concepts related to different worlds and dimensions. It suggests that the physical world imprisons us and keeps us distracted by desires, but we can attain true freedom by focusing inward on our spiritual selves. Our thoughts and intentions can attract either good or evil influences. To evolve spiritually, we must forgive others, release attachments, and practice goodness to transcend this world and avoid being reincarnated here against our will. Religions are crutches that fail to provide the inner knowledge and love that lead to real freedom within.
Joseph calling conference 23 24 sep 2016Gerard Long
The Joseph Calling Conference discusses making sense of extreme personal tragedy and loss. It focuses on what the Bible says about suffering, redemption, and how to keep going through faith, courage, and an eternal perspective. It also addresses the enemies of faith like offense, unforgiveness, unwise people and decisions, and sin. The conference aims to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to 2 billion people through social media and initiatives like a mission to India to provide mosquito nets and calendars to 100,000 families in poverty.
This document discusses breaking curses and poverty through prophetic prayer and spiritual weapons. It begins by defining poverty and its different types. It then discusses how poverty can operate as a spirit through one's mind and attitudes, not just finances. Various scriptures are provided about God's provision and breaking free from lack. The document provides a prayer to break curses by bringing the authority of Jesus' cross and blood over any curses. It asks God to send angels to disarm all curses and black arts.
This document discusses ways to heal hurts in marriage. It states that successfully healing hurts requires addressing issues as they arise rather than avoiding conflicts. Common sources of hurts include unfaithfulness, betrayal, and violence. However, all marriages experience misunderstandings and clashes due to imperfect spouses living together. To heal, couples must acknowledge their shared responsibility, face conflicts directly rather than pretend they don't exist, and apply biblical principles like confessing faults, seeking forgiveness, and resolving issues. Pride, guilt, laziness, shame, fear, and lack of emotional intimacy can hinder healing. Forgiveness and humility are key to overcoming hurts and restoring closeness.
The document provides an overview of themes and concepts discussed in a workshop on Biblical literature. It covers topics like the cosmos, God, sin, and the good life. For each theme, it lists key ideas and biblical passages as discussion points. The workshop aims to help students develop their worldview by reflecting on how beliefs about these five fundamental areas are informed by both scientific and biblical perspectives.
SOM 01-01 Worldview 1
This class will examine the basic foundational beliefs of the evangelical Christian church, with a focus on God, Creation, Revelation, & Fall.
This document discusses ways to heal hurts in marriage. It states that all marriages experience misunderstandings and conflicts that can hurt the spouses. To heal, spouses must acknowledge their own faults in conflicts, be willing to resolve issues through open communication, and apply biblical principles like confession and forgiveness. However, certain factors like pride, guilt, laziness, shame, and fear can hinder the healing process if not addressed. The document encourages spouses to overcome these hindrances through humility, accepting responsibility, effort, embracing God's grace, and facing their fears in order to restore hurt relationships.
This document discusses the concept of holiness from a Christian perspective. It provides five essential elements for growing in holiness: 1) having convictions based on biblical truth, 2) making a commitment to obedience, 3) disciplining daily choices, 4) depending on the Holy Spirit, and 5) developing a God-centered desire. It encourages readers to reflect on which element is most evident in their life and which needs strengthening, then to take steps to improve the weaker area. The document stresses that holiness is about obedience to God rather than personal feelings of victory or defeat. It closes with quotes emphasizing that God's aim is to make people holy.
This is a study on the operation of the Seer. A prophetic function of the Body of Christ. This is lesson 7 of the series of study in Understanding the Prophetic.
1) The document discusses the importance of prophetic integrity and maintaining a pure inner spirit as a prophetic conduit for God's messages.
2) Prophets cannot allow outside influences like money, fame or poverty to interfere with their message and must ensure their "inner workings are pure, untainted."
3) Maintaining spiritual balance is important for prophetic integrity, just as the inner ear is responsible for physical balance.
This document provides a summary of a prophetic class lesson on hearing spiritually. It discusses how the inner ear works to transmit sound and regulates pressure. Spiritually, it suggests our spirit is sensitive to God's frequency, and we must be tuned into Him rather than other things. Some indicators of being tuned into God include one's spirit responding by leaping or being led. It stresses the importance of processing what we hear from God through His written word, and of keeping our inner workings like thoughts and feelings pure so as not to misinterpret God's messages. It also discusses how pressure like life changes can affect our spiritual hearing, so we must intake God's fresh breath to restore balance. The homework is to research prophetic people
The document is a lesson on prophesy from Apostle Norma Gray's teachings. It discusses prophesying in church meetings based on guidelines from 1 Corinthians 14. Specifically, it advises that no more than two or three prophets should speak, with others judging the prophecies. All should prophesy in turn so that all may learn and be comforted. Prophets' spirits are subject to the prophets, and God is not the author of confusion. The document assigns homework to discern a spiritual gathering using 1 Corinthians 14 as a guide.
This document discusses the importance of prophesying in the church. It defines prophesy as proclaiming the mind of God and speaking boldly as God's oracle, while prophecy refers to foretelling future events. The document explains that prophesying builds up the church through edification, exhortation, and comfort. It encourages all to prophesy in an orderly way so that all may learn and be comforted.
The document announces the 30th annual Freedom Fund Banquet of the Rock Hill Branch of the NAACP, celebrating 30 years of progressive movement. It provides information on the mission of the NAACP to ensure equality and eliminate racial discrimination and hatred. It lists sponsors and advertisers who support the NAACP and its mission.
The document discusses prophecy and how to determine the validity of prophets and prophecies. It warns that there will be false prophets who perform signs and wonders to mislead people. A true prophet's life and past performances must match their prophecies. Prophecies concerning Jesus are listed from the books of Genesis, Isaiah and Isaiah. The document advises holding prophets and each other to a high standard of validity and determining a prophecy's fulfillment in the future. It also asks what should be done upon receiving a word from God.
God reveals himself to humanity through both general and special revelation. General revelation is through nature, conscience and history, while special revelation involves God directly communicating to specific people at specific times, such as through prophecy, miracles and the person of Jesus Christ. The document discusses how prophecy was an important way for God to communicate with his people through prophets like Moses and how it was a factor in Judaism and Christianity, though there is a risk of false prophets. It emphasizes the importance of believing God is omniscient and can reveal future events through true prophets.
This document discusses developing our spiritual abilities through activating our "spiritual apparatus". It compares learning spiritual functions to an infant learning to breathe at birth. Just as infants must learn to breathe in earth's atmosphere, we must learn to "breathe in the prophetic atmosphere" spiritually.
It explains that our spirit is the part of us that takes in this spiritual breath, and our ability to hear is the key apparatus. Five elements are given for developing our "spiritual ear": surrender to God's will, prayer, worship, living a "yes life" (listening to God's will in all things), and listening for God's voice. Exercising these tools through spending dedicated time with God each week
This document provides an overview of the prophetic atmosphere from a training session on prophetic ministry. It discusses the prophetic atmosphere as a spiritual environment influenced by things within it, like spirit, words, and energy. It also notes other influences like people, Satan, and time. The prophetic atmosphere is described as the climate of God's kingdom, with its own tone and principles. The document encourages learning to function in the prophetic atmosphere, like a baby learns to live in the world. It defines what it means to be prophetic and notes that believers contain prophecy through Jesus and God's word. The soul is described as an invisible atmosphere that influences who we are. The conclusion encourages reading assigned chapters for homework.
This document discusses how to deal with difficulties by overcoming obstacles. It recommends identifying obstacles, deciding to deal with difficulties, understanding them, and disarming them. It suggests finding the source of difficulties, removing any damage, and replacing hurt feelings with thoughts about one's purpose. It advises not expecting everyone to be happy or difficulties to be forever, but rather expecting continued growth. The document concludes by stating that one should expect confirmation of truths and commissioning to fulfill one's call, in order to meet current demands and possess required anointing.
This document summarizes a group mentoring session on wisdom. It defines different biblical terms for wisdom like hakma, sophia, and sophos. It discusses how Solomon asked God for wisdom and the importance of gaining understanding. Biblical passages encourage seeking wisdom from God and applying it through good works, peacemaking, and teaching others. Wisdom is described as a gift from God to impart understanding and counsel. The session aims to teach what wisdom is and how to apply its lessons in life.
This document discusses strategies for dealing with different personality types in conversations, including passive aggressive, passive, aggressive, and assertive. It provides examples of each type and recommends being polite, positive, and having a resolution when dealing with difficult people. The focus is on learning how to handle these personality types so they don't disrupt your goals. It recommends preparing notes and reading the book "Difficult Conversations" to improve skills for difficult conversations.
This document provides strategies for effective persuasion. It discusses how persuasion should produce action, and quotes scripture about having conviction. It recommends choosing words that convey success and eliminating words of doubt. Speak of what you want to experience, not just what you have. Choose positive associations by surrounding yourself with supportive people. Close doors to hindrances and distractions. Keep improving and seeking new opportunities. True possession comes from persevering through challenges with commitment and obedience.
1) The document discusses dimensions of apostolic presence found in the Old Testament, including examples from Adam, Melchizedek, Noah, and Moses that demonstrated apostolic abilities and assignments.
2) It notes aspects of apostolic footprints seen through the actions of kings in their authority, regional reach, and ability to delegate and decree.
3) The absence of apostolic dimensions is said to bring chaos, disorder, rebellion and disobedience, as seen when Moses went to the mountain for 40 days and people turned to their own lusts.
This document provides guidance from a mentor to mentees on developing priorities, determination, and persistence to achieve success. It begins by welcoming the mentees and expressing gratitude for the opportunity to help them. The mentor then discusses establishing proper priorities, discipline, and follow-through. Their priorities are outlined as relationship with God, family, call/work, and personal life. Determination is key to maintaining priorities and involves thinking outside restrictions. Persuasion should produce action, and one's vocabulary, associations, distractions, and openness to improvement also impact success.
This document discusses mindset shifts and embracing new ways of thinking by letting go of old ways. It introduces the concept of "entelechies," which is when potential becomes reality. Readers are instructed to write down four of their own potentials. The document then provides Bible verses about God giving us what we need to reach our potential. It uses the example of a monarch butterfly's transformation from caterpillar to butterfly to represent the process of "becoming." Readers are assigned homework to identify which stage of the butterfly process each of their potentials is in and commit to helping each potential reach reality.
This document is a transcript from an instructional session aimed at helping people assess their inner value and devote themselves to daily commitments. The instructor discusses implementing new habits or disciplines over 21 days by focusing on one's purpose, avoiding distractions, and looking for opportunities to release one's gifts. Attendees are encouraged to list their devotions and goals for the coming year and to implement a new commitment in their lives by midnight on October 1st.
This document discusses jumpstarting a new season by taking action to advance and ascend to a higher level. It encourages the reader to forget what is behind, reach for what is ahead, and press toward their goals. It provides steps for preparing to leap forward, including defining your identity, counting the cost of your goals, setting a high standard or "bar" for what you want to achieve, and then taking action to go after your goals. The document stresses the importance of making connections and taking ignition in order to unleash your power and make your jumpstart a reality.
This document introduces a 12-week mentoring program led by Apostle Norma Gray. The program aims to help participants realize their potential through individual attention, identification, revelation, expectation, and manifestation. Over 12 weekly sessions, mentees will receive empowerment and instruction to extract their potential and make their lives as successful as they want. Session playbacks will be available for registered mentors. The goal is to help potential become reality through mentoring.
