Torn Veil, Access Granted!

Tuesday, 09 February, 2010 18:17 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

You may enter now…

Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, – Matthew 27:51

When Jesus gave Himself in the crucifixion He opened the door to the Holy of Holies. There was a manifestation in the natural realm (world) and the spiritual realm (world), the earth quaked and the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom. That act of obedience forever opened the door to the heart of our Father God.

We have access to the very presence of God whenever we choose to enter. Jesus sacrifice and His blood provides access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. God has an “open door policy”.

Few people understand and believe this and even fewer people actually act on this and take full advantage of this supernatural access.

We live in a day where people will stand in line for hours on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) to burst through the doors of a store to get 30% off of their big ticket item (while knocking down everyone in their way)…And others will pay their friends money to wait in line to get in the door to buy tickets for the greatest concert in the world. With all this rush and passion to get something that is really worth nothing…we have access to the very riches of heaven but refuse to take advantage of the the access that Jesus has provided. Most would rather be satisfied with the trinkets of the world than the treasures of heaven.

Quit waiting for God to do something for you and go boldly into His Throne Room through the blood of Jesus to obtain grace and help in time of need. The door is forever open!

Obedience Optional?

Thursday, 28 January, 2010 08:28 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

At what time in history was obedience ever made optional?

“If you love me, you will obey my commandments” – John 14:15

Obedience is a manifestation of love. You can not truly say that you love God and habitually disobey His word. It just does not work.

Today’s society completely accepts that children have the right to tell their parents what to do and what they are going to do and not going to do. The world around us has protected the right to disobey authority and be OK with it. It is in one word REBELLION.

There is no where in the Bible that gives us the right to disobey God. We do not have the choice to obey or disobey God…IF we love Him. The question then becomes, “Do you love God?”. If so, we will see it in your complete and immediate obedience to His word.

Because He loves us He would never require us to do anything that would hurt us or anyone else. The Word says that His commandments are not grievous or burdensome. Jesus even went so far to say that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He is not a hard taskmaster. Everything that He asks us to do is for our benefit…to help and bless us…and ultimately make us a bigger blessing.

How much would you say today that you love God?

Believing Is Seeing

Thursday, 14 January, 2010 08:02 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

Most say, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” God says, “When you believe it, you will see it.”

And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” And their eyes were opened… – Matthew 9:28-30 NKJV

The Gospels are full of instances where people believed and then received what they believed. Why would anyone ever think that it would be the total opposite? But there will always be those doubting Thomas-es that have to see, hear, taste, smell and touch before they believe. No faith…

God is looking for our faith so that He can get us the things that we need to do all that He has called us to do.”… when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” – Luke 18:8 NKJV. Jesus even said in Mark 11 that by using just a little faith mountains will move and great things can be done.

Believe God today. Find out what He has promised to you and BELIEVE! Don’t doubt and wait until you see something. Step out on your faith that He has given you and dare to believe…then you will see!

Needing Patience

Tuesday, 08 December, 2009 09:38 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

The world is becoming more impatient by the nano-second.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. – James 1:2-4 (KJV)

Patience is a force that comes from God by His Spirit into our spirit (as we allow it) to hold us steady until we receive what He has promised us.

Our difficulty lies in the fact that we live in a world where everyone wants everything – yesterday (if not sooner!). How fast is fast? Not fast enough. We want faster and faster than that. People praying and believing God for their healing want a miracle, NOW! If it does not happen instantaneously then they think that the Word of God doesn’t work…

Impatience is a sign of spiritual immaturity. It is time for us to grow up and operate in patience. Patience is a part of the fruit of the Spirit that is listed in Galatians 5:22. It comes from God and is manifested or borne in our lives as we learn to yield to God in every situation. (To do what Jesus did, always!) We have patience, we just need to operate in it.

Allow patience to have her perfect work (complete and entire work) so that we obtain all that God has promised us!

Don’t give up! Keep standing IN PATIENCE! Believe God’s Word and do not move off of His promises, ever.

Whose report do you believe?

Monday, 24 November, 2008 23:52 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

In Numbers 13 the Children of Israel sent 12 spies into the land of Canaan to take inventory of the promised land that flowed with milk and honey.

Out of the 12 spies there were 10 that said the people that lived in the land of Canaan were like giants and it would be impossible for them to drive them out.

Only 2 of the spies (Joshua and Caleb) said “Let us go up at once! We are well able to overcome and possess the land.”

So it is most days with most people, 10 out of 12 people will attempt to bring you down to their level and tell you 101 reasons why you can’t do what God has called you to do.

Find the 2 people that are willing to “go up at once” to overcome and possess the land!

You can do it! God did not create any losers.

Believe the report that you are well able to conquer and possess the land!
