Love yourself without condition. Love yourself through the dividers of protectiveness and the dimness of your deeds. Love yourself past anything you merit for such is the affection for God. When you build a close relationship with God, you begin to see things through his eyes. By being in love with God, we also accept in love ourselves, making us aware of our flaws, we come to love every part of who we are. True self-love is only discovered in God.

Tithing can be a source of joy and freedom. But, tithing is also a commonly misunderstood Christian concept. Confusion on the subject can lead to mistrust of the church. Above all, all tithes and offerings should be given with pure motives and an attitude of worship to God and service to the body of Christ. Many misunderstandings on this topic have even led people to leave the church altogether. Tithing is about more than money; it’s about our hearts

It is no secret that love is one of the most powerful feelings in the world. Much of our decisions are driven by this emotion. The Bible teaches us that true love is not an emotion that can come or go, The Bible describes true love as selfless, patient, and sacrificial. We are also told that "God is love". The foundation of love must be rooted in God.

The parable of the seed sown on four different grounds, is about a person's life response to God and the gospel, not a specific time in their life. During difficult times, even devout believers struggle with worldly concerns and disappointment. These difficulties do not move true believers apart from Jesus, but instead brings them closer to Him. God uses these difficulties to deepen our faith in Him, producing a mighty harvest.

Walking in the eternal light of God is the truth we have to embrace, the story of the blind man places emphasis on our personal lives. In many ways we are that man born blind. We are born into a sin nature, spiritually disabled, with a human condition, needing Jesus to anoint our spiritual eyes, desiring God’s divine intervention to direct our path in life. When Jesus told the blind man to go wash in the pool, his sight was still impaired, by faith the blind man was led to a course of restoration through his obedience. His spirit was quickened by God. God is wanting us to prepare our spirit because Jesus is strolling along side us. As his eyes open, the blindman was able to stand by the King, we too choose to see Jesus and to see thru the eyes of Jesus how he appears to us.

The waiting is not about your enemy, or those who you feel are against you, the waiting does not mere it’s face in human form, in the waiting there is an almighty and ever-present God, moving favorably. In the waiting may your greatest gift be formed and may the most powerful weapon come to life. Waiting behold the things that are not seen, what we see lasts only a short time, and what we cannot see will last forever. Waiting in its very essence is intangible and unseen yet holds great power in our internal worlds and spiritual lives. Waiting is a process that feels like a ton of stack bricks and painful, it’s the power we generate in the waiting that pushes us forward.

Pressing takes us to a deep place, the deeper the pressure the more that pours out. In pressing everything comes out even in pain but when God start to squeeze, He removes every part of us and what remains is an empty jar. The widow kept pouring, the woman with alabaster jar empties out what she had. BOTH cases there was pouring, one was pouring filling the empty jars, and the other was pouring to anoint our King. We could take our entire lives before we make sense of the pressing. There is something God is needing to access within, He is about to start the act of squeezing, Jesus took the crushing, under pressure life is coming to the surface.

There is purpose in surrender, fulfilling our predestined purpose begins with the act of surrender. The woman with the issue of blood came to God with nothing, but hands of praise, to extend hands in praise, we have to be willing to come before God empty handed, in contact, his power will revive us and raise us up from that internal place of bleeding, the bleeding do not stop but the blood is regenerated, washed out, and refined in the blood of the living lamb.

As God uses broken and imperfect people, we can also be encouraged that God can use us to accomplish important things and that, when we use the tools He provides, the power is not our own, but His. We are simply earthen vessels / jars of clay; the treasure is God’s gift inside.

In this episode we take a look at Mark 2:1-12, we come to a story of a man who leaves home, carried through pain, denied at entrance, elevated through events, and lowered to grace. Personally we are confronted with a crowded entryway, God is redirecting our path, He is moving us to a place or release.
