The Configuration of the Church

The configuration of the Church: What is it that Jesus has promised? Why does it matter? How is God going to get the inheritance that He promised His Son?

Church as a FAMILY not a FRANCHISE

Michael preaching at Gold Street Garden Church in Palm Harbor, FL.

"The Church is a family, not a franchise."

"No man is greater than God's value system."

"The tide is turning; we are in desperate need of fathers and not CEO's of ministry companies"

Setting the Stage for the End of the Age

Listen as Michael minsters at the Burn Culture Encounter Conference. 

It is said in scripture that there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. His posture is revealed in John 3. He must increase and I must decrease. John understood that he was to prepare a stage for Jesus not share the stage with Jesus. 

In Exodus 32 Moses was a man confronted with self exaltation. God told him leave me alone and let my anger burn against them, I will destroy them and make you a great nation. Moses contended with God and chose a deeper investment into being anchored into His people. 

The Church is a people, however, most of us don't live with a corporate identification. 

Are you willing to decrease so that Jesus and his purposes in the earth will be exalted?

A New Definition for Devotion

Michael preaching at SOZO Church in Belfair, WA.

Fasting is an expression of love; a loving obedience. Jesus said that His absence would fuel the fire of our devotion in the place of fasting (Matt 9).

Will you love Him this way? Will you offer up your affection, attention, and appetites? He alone is worthy.

Directions to Destiny - SPANISH TRANSLATION

There are moments in our lives where the direction to destiny will not be accessed in the worlds way. There are times in your life where the insight you need is only going to be found in a deeper place of devotion. 

So often we underestimate the place of devotion when we are looking for direction. 

There are times where we will have to enter into consecration and waiting so that God can reveal to you what His way is. 

Evidence of a Transformed Life - SPANISH TRANSLATION

Jesus prayed that when power came upon believers, they would become witnesses that would provide an evidence of transformed lives.

We are transformed by the Spirit in our day by day yielding to God. Transformation does not happen overnight.
