Here's another video clip from Steven Furtick of Elevation Church on our identity in Christ.  Be reminded about who you are! I highly recommend you picking up his books, Sun Stand Still and Greater .  

Are you feeling unworthy today?  Condemned?  Watch this brief clip from Steven Furtick, pastor at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC.  

Today, I had the privilege of leading another group of people through prayer team orientation at Hesston MB Church. This is the 3rd time I have led the orientation over the last year. I think I am finally getting the orientation to focus on the most important things. I am so excited about this ministry and how God uses it. It is hard to believe that it has been a year since we started this ministry. Today, I thought I would share some barriers to prayer ministry and some resources that I recommend. What are the barriers to having a prayer team? Getting people to realize prayer team membership is not about being a superior or perfect intercessor, but instead being available for God to use you. Getting the congregation to realize that people can come forward for any type of prayer requests. It does not just have to be a major prayer request. God cares about us and hears our prayers whether big or small. Congregation members being willing to be vulnerable and share when they ha...

I finished reading Sun Stand Still today by Steven Furtick . I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you are looking for a book to challenge your prayer life, this is it! Furtick does a great job of keeping the Bible as a foundation while at the same time challenging believers to pray big. I have enjoyed watching Furtick's messages online as well. He has some helpful chapters on what if your prayers go unanswered and the difference between hope & faith. Here are a few quotes from the last few chapters of the book: "That is why the Word of God is so crucial to audacious faith." pg. 157 "Audacious prayer must be tethered to practical obedience." pg. 173 "You do the natural. Trust God for the super." pg. 177 "Praying Sun Stand Still prayers isn't about thinking audacious thoughts. It's about activating audacious faith. It's about making your move. Pushing while you pray." pg. 180 "Hope is the blueprint. Faith is the co...

I'm sitting at the Perk reading my newest book, Sun Stand Still, by Steven Furtick . Here are a few quotes from first chapter: If it's necessary, and it's never been done, she assumes that's because God intends for her to do it. You'll understand that God has much more in mind for your existence on this earth than merely surviving. This book is not a Snuggie . To inspire you to ask God for the impossible. And in the process, to reconnect you with your God-sized purpose and potential. If the size of your vision for your life isn't intimidating to you, there's a good chance it's insulting to God. If you're like most Christians, audacity is not a word you use to describe your faith. God has no Plan B. You're about to discover what happens when you dare to believe God for the impossible, ask God for the impossible-then act in audacious faith for his glory.
