- EASY AND LIGHT CHRISTIANITY: When Jesus said that His yoke is easy and burden is light, He was describing Christian’s life that follows Him. If I were to live a life of sin, I’d be taking on Satan’s yoke and burden, and it would only lead to hardship and heaviness. If I just live for Jesus, it’s easy and light.
- JUST BELIEVE: ”…God had already been talking to me, telling me that if I wanted Him to use me, I only had to believe.” – Carlos Annacondia. Simple enough. I could do that.
- TRUST: Those who trust in the Lord will never be put to shame. Why? Those who trust in the Lord will live victorious, successful, and blessed lives. Trust without obedience is a contradiction.
- REVIVAL: Could it be that Satan has led the church to pray for revival, instead of using Paul’s simple and proved strategy for revival- preaching the gospel! You can pray for your wife to get pregnant all you want, but if you don’t sow a seed, she won’t get pregnant. We must sow the gospel into the hearts of people to see revival birthed.
- WORD: According to the Parable of the Sower, Satan immediately attacks the Word. Satan is so afraid of the Word. He attempts to attack it before it begins to grow into an unstoppable force against Him and for you. If He can’t get you to hear it, he doesn’t have to expend his energy taking the Word from you. If He can’t take it from you immediately, Satan will orchestrate tough times, rough people, distracting temptations, all to abort the word in you. If Satan is so passionate about getting the Word out of people, shouldn’t we be passionate about getting the Word into people?
- KINGDOM: It’s awesome how the Kingdom of God is likened to a small mustard seed that grows and takes over. This is what happened, is happening, and will happen. Jesus installed the Kingdom. We are seeing the Kingdom expanding. When Jesus returns, it will take over everything.
- REDEMPTION: It’s like a woman from a poor country- who was told she would get a free trip to a rich country- where she can work and support her family. But, she was tricked. She gets to the rich country and finds out that she is in serious debt and the only way she can pay it off in a new country is prostitution. She lives that lifestyle for years because she has no choice. Then, a King from a more powerful country comes. He pays her debts. He gives her a citizenship. He assigns a military escort to protect her. He gives her special defensive and offensive weapons. She no longer has to work for the deceiver. She can say, “You don’t own me anymore, and break free!” The deceiver can’t kill her. She’s protected. If the deceiver tries to pester her, she can use the name of the King and shut the deceiver up. Now, she works to introduce others to the King. The deceiver can’t stop her! She has no debts and nothing to be afraid of.
- PROSPERITY: We were not created for poverty. Poverty is not holy, but is Satanic- Satan brought it upon the earth. Jesus knew how to prosper. He had the wisdom of God. He knew how to catch a jackpot of fish. He knew how to multiply bread and fish by speaking a blessing over it.
- GLORY: The kind of prayer life Jesus had was that the glory cloud would come and He would get caught up into heaven and hang out there. Remember the mount of transfiguration. I so desire my prayer life to look more like Jesus’.
