Repentance For Revival And Increase In Anointing

Contributed by Brett Crosson on May 1, 2019

We live in a time where a lot of the western church is caught up in the hyper grace movement that condones sin and sells salvation wrapped up in sensuality and stickers of liberty. But God wants true freedom in his house and a hungering after righteousness again.

Walking in humility, repentance and a greater anointing Humility is a key to seeing God move and for Him increase you in the anointing. Biblically speaking, Humility has a lot to do with fasting and vise-versa. Fasting had to do with mourning. Jesus was asked: why don’t your disciples fast. He ...read more

Job And Elihu Series

Contributed by Jw Worcester on Dec 31, 2019

We have many in the church who don't move forward after a loss and fail to take the path of even greater relevance that God has set out for us.

I looked at Bible characters for examples of faithful husbands and fathers. While there are many commendable men in scripture it was hard to find ones that excelled at being a husband and a father. One that comes to mind is Job who had a large family that thrived on each other’s company. He was ...read more
