West End Assembly Of God

Distractions will lead to Distance Distance will lead to Disobedience Disobedience will lead to Destruction

You cannot become strong when temptation comes at you. That’s too late. What you do today determines how you respond tomorrow.

You are not alone! In fact you should NEVER be alone and be easy prey! If you’re alone right now, you are about to be attacked and devoured.

We hold the key to open the gates of hell that surround our city and our world.

We will never realize our capacity until we give everything to Jesus and allow him to give it back to us transformed by the miraculous!

Jerusalem - My City Judea & Samaria - my country / My nation Ends of the earth - the world

This week we want to discover how God desires to shape the church as an organization.

Regardless of who shaped you before, When you give your life into God’s hands – He shapes you.

What do you desire to hear from God this year? Perhaps He wants to talk to you about a new direction but you are too far from Him to hear His direction

My hope for each of us here today is that our hearts would be so filled with gratitude for the Son who was given to us that that would be the most important “thank you” we express this Christmas.

We may be in the valley right now, but the valley is not our destination. We are just passing through.

We have learned the actions of spirituality. We have learned to put on that which looks good but we have not learned to take in that which produces good fruit.

What is the context for using the miraculous gifts of the Spirit?

The world is waiting for the power of God to overwhelm them, but it starts with you!

Luke 11 11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Abuses of the Spirit should not deter us from being filled with the Spirit any more than hypocrisy should deter us from following Jesus.

This special lens allows us to define and refine from time to time, the trajectory of our lives, so that one day, when we stand before Christ, we will get a :thumbs up" for our obedience to His calling.
