Generosity Flows from Our Identity
“Jesus breaks my spirit of poverty while my generosity ensures my abundance” (Pastor Les) Generous is everything that Zacchaeus is not…at least not until he spends some time in the presence of God. Les shares 3 quick points… To be in the presence of Jesus often takes some effort You can be hated by everyone and still be the one Jesus is looking for The majority of people will complain when you begin to live in the favor of God…
Valuing His Presence Changes Our Identity
“Jesus is never mad at you, irritated with you or wanting to take back your salvation or healing from you. NEVER. EVER.” (Les) Before His conversation is over, Jesus is interrupted with the news that the daughter of Jarius has died. Instead of comforting Jarius or feeling sorry for him, Jesus looks at him and says, “Have faith. Don’t be afraid.” If you said that to most people who are sick, addicted or in relational distress today they would be…
Valuing His Presence & Power
(We apologize for the first portion of this audio being cut off) Pastor Les covers a few things related to the story of the woman with the issue of blood: The same power that left Jesus to heal is within us no Faith does not heal us but rather activates the presence and power of God We will increase the power of God in our lives as we place greater value on the presence of Jesus within us
God Always Holds His Hand Out to Us
“There is not a single place in this world or in our heart where God will not travel with us if we would only invite Him” (Les) God is always offering His hand to us. We have an image of Him pushing us around and forcing us to do what He wants us to do but that is not a true image of our Good Father. Would you put your hand out, offer it to God and believe that He…
Valuing His Presence
“We are not waiting for God to show up. He is waiting for us to notice Him already here.” (Les) In this message Les shares a pivotal message that is impacting the direction of his life and the life of The Journey Church. To value something means we put importance upon it and/or deem it useful. We recognize those things that we value. Many of us can recognize the work and voice of the enemy but few of us recognize…
Prophetic Words with Clay Nash
“The one who prays using a private “prayer language” certainly gets a lot out of it, but proclaiming God’s truth to the church in its common language brings the whole church into growth and strength. I want all of you to develop intimacies with God in prayer, but please don’t stop with that. Go on and proclaim his clear truth to others.” (I Corinthians 14, The Message) If you were given a prophetic word this past Sunday morning then here…
The Heart of Prophecy
“I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.” (I Corinthians 14:5) God has given us spiritual gifts to bless the world around us yet we spend so much time explaining them away. Why do we fight so hard against these things? Is pride or false humility keeping you from…
The Floods of Harvey in the Invisible Realm
“Houston’s going to Rock It! We are going to drill down deep and strike a New Kind of Oil.” In scripture the invisible realm is more real and more powerful than the visible realm. In the seen realm I cannot move mountains but in the unseen realm I can move mountains. Hurricane Harvey came and devastated my hometown of Houston and pretty much the entire Gulf Coast of Texas. The seen was obvious and it was powerful. The impact of…
Prophetic Activation
“To prophesy is to connect your tongue with God’s heart” (Pastor Les) This morning we experienced a small but powerful prophetic activation where Les spoke a ‘word’ over someone and then had 4 mothers ‘act’ out that word with hugs and whispers. It started (in Les) with an image, then an emotion and then morphed into a very short, sweet and powerful word of God moment for our friend. Pastor Les agrees with the Apostle Paul that all would…
What Does the Good Neighbor Give Away?
“Christians are not meant to be hiding in their homes hoping the world leaves them alone. We are called to be outside and changing our world one neighbor at a time” (Pastor Les) Many, maybe most, Christians believe that being a good neighbor is simply not being a bad, annoying neighbor. This idea that Jesus wants us to love our neighbors and that commandment is fulfilled by smiling, not getting drunk and yelling at 3:00 a.m. or keeping our yard…
