#dunamisTransforms
“So when Jesus said, you shall receive power, he wasn't promising the feeling. He wasn't promising of he was promising a force that would transform identity, purpose, and everything. So this is what second, Corinthians chapter five seventeen to 20 reveals. Paul says, if any man is in Christ, he's a new creature. He's a new creation. The old has passed. Right? That kind of transformation doesn't happen without dunamis power. When it says we've been reconciled to god, that doesn't happen without power. When scripture says we are ambassadors for Christ, you cannot represent heaven without dynamic power. We can't do it on our own strength. So while acts tells us that we will receive power, second Corinthians shows us what that power does.”

#TrustThroughObstacles
“Things seem to be at a halt, a major roadblock. My Jamaican friends would say, they buck up on something. My Grenadian friends would say, and we bounced into something. My Trinidadian friends would say, boy, we meet up something, you know. Things seem to be at a halt. The walls seemed impossible to breach. I imagine many having the memories of Egypt in their mind. They became fearful, anxious, uncertain, and, of course, some are angry. The naysayers were disappointed in their leader, Joshua, for not doing the proper reconnaissance to find another way around. But God had a plan. Just trust and obey.”

#TrustTheGoodShepherd
“In Jesus Christ, I'm not worried about my fate. I'm not worried about tomorrow for I know that he has the whole world in his hands. But I draw near to my shepherd. I draw near to his voice, for he alone could watch over my going out and my coming in. He alone could lead me to green pastures and clean water. He alone could revive my soul. We are but sheep. Find your shepherd. If it not be Jesus Christ, I worry for you because every other shepherd will only kill and destroy. Amen.”

#LetTheDeadStayDead
“We go back to what God has already told us to leave alone. We entertain what Jesus has already paid for. We keep alive what heaven has already condemned, and then we wonder why our Christian life still feels a little stuck, it's dry, and you feel powerless. Help us, Lord. Family, we can't carry a corpse and walk in resurrection at the same time. At some point, we gotta let us stay dead because the power of Jesus isn't just that he died, it's that he rose.”

#FrustrationToSustenance
“He used the fruit of their frustration of working all night, and he used it for breakfast in the morning. He took what exhausted them and used it to feed them. He took what came through struggle and made it sustenance to protect them and sustain them. That means the season that wore you out is not wasted. I don't know what your last night was like. I don't know what tears you have fought, but I know that God is able to take the fruit of your frustration and use it to sustain you for the next season.”
45s
#reconciliationThroughUs
“He redeemed us through the cross, and Jesus took what we deserved. God satisfied justice and extended mercy. He used his power to call you back, to call them back, to call me back. And that same power didn't just stop at saving us. No. According to second Corinthians five and nineteen, the word of God said, he has now committed to us the word of reconciliation, which means it is no longer just what God did for us. It is what he is now doing through us.”
34s
#powerForOpposition
“So they needed the power because they were about to face real opposition. Jesus had already warned them, persecution would come, rejection would come, pressure from culture and authority. Y'all know how how bad it is. Amen? We have missionaries that are facing those things today. Amen? And we need to pray for them because they need that we know they have the power, but we need to pray for them and empower them even more. Amen?”

#giftThatRemakes
“I'm talking about the kind of power that takes a fisherman and makes him a preacher. Oh my god. It takes fear and turns it into boldness. The kind of power that take broken people and use them for God's glory. Oh my god. It takes sinners and make them new creation. This power is not earned. We can't do nothing to earn this power because what is what is this power? It's a gift.”

#GodIsSovereign
“Why should we trust in God? God is sovereign. God is a sovereign owner of the universe. All creatures and things are under his command. He has full authority above all things because he created all things. So trust in God's power and majesty and do his will rather than yours. God is always victorious. Just trust and obey.”
46s
#EdenChoice
“God placed Adam and Eve in a beautiful garden. It was the ultimate perfection where they could enjoy eating from every kind of tree except just one. It was God's gracious way of giving them a fair choice. By trusting God and not eating of the forbidden tree, they would live forever in paradise. By choosing to listen to Satan, they chose to run away from the source of all life, God, and naturally experience death.”
