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…
Reclaiming Destiny with Clay Nash
“God wants us to tap into our righteous history and bring it forward” (Clay Nash) Pastor and author Clay Nash visited with us this past weekend and shared a challenging message of destiny. The enemy comes along and seeks to steal, kill and destroy our destiny by doing four things… Questions our destiny Tries to get us to perform to prove identity Offers us power without process or pain Invites us to fall into the sin of presumption “IF…
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…
Prophecy is Our Tongue Connected to God’s Heart
“Prophecy is the love language of God” (Kris Vallottoon) Pastor Les takes us thru a small portion of Ezekiel 37 at a time when God takes Ezekiel on a walk thru a valley of dry bones. We discover that… God doesn’t ask Ezekiel for his opinion but his faith We never get to decide what is dead If we don’t speak then things will remain dead We speak God’s heart, not our opinions Les challenges us to prophesy scripture…
You Can Prophesy Today
“Why did the Prophetic nature of Jesus wreck the Religious? Not because it pointed out their sin but because it highlighted God’s love for the Sinner!” (Pastor Les) We assume that the Fruit of the Spirit is to be manifest in our daily lives but rarely do we imagine that the Gifts of the Spirit are to be manifest regularly in our lives. The Apostle Paul says that he would like everyone in the Church at Corinth to speak in…
3 Faith Increasing Beliefs
“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given unto him. But he must ask in faith, without doubting…” (James 1:5-6a) We are called Believers, not Feelers. We are a Faith-Based Community and not a community of Thinkers. Our feelings, thoughts and actions are meant to follow our FAITH. Instead, we allow our thoughts, emotions and experiences shape our faith. When we believe God’s…
