Toronto Christian Worship Center

If I have not had a real revelation of the love of the Godhead, three Persons in one, I must make this a priority in my life. The question is this: "Am I seeking for this revelation, and do I know it's importance for my life as a Christian?"

Should our experiences be the same or similiar to those who went before us? Should - when we look in the Bible - we see ourselves like the Gideon's, Elijah's, and others? If not, our prayer should be "Lord, give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to obey". God wants to take us higher. 

How important it is for us to understand sanctification. Jesus who was God and was the Word became flesh and lived among us. We as Christians who are flesh must become the word and live among people. It is important to follow Him wholly, with our whole body, mind, soul and spirit. This message helps us to understand this.

Moving from theory to experience. Jesus said we "Are" salt and light, that means now. If we are then how do we go from theory to experience? Being who we are.

The Church today must be clearly defined, and we must look at "What are we looking for?". Is our life an outflowing of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and me, or am I looking for toxic religion, religion, selfish motivation, does my Christianity clearly define the development of personal character and integrity? We are anointed for Bridal love; But what are we looking for?

In this message we discuss the book of Esther and how through a simple "sackcloth and ashes" demonstration  the whole direction of a kingdom was changed. In this message we are encouraged to make deliberate choices based on God's word and with that we will see a great result. We can set ourself up through obedience.

This message is about ways we can give the enemy legal access to our life and remove God's hand of protection. Job, though a man of integrity, gave the enemy legal access not by what he said in Job 3:25-26 but what was in his heart before he said it. God brought the children of Israel out of the wilderness to separate them unto Himself, and then take them into the land He has promised. The wilderness was to be a short duration and a passing through. The children of Israel made it a lifestyle and with the exception of two people who came out of Egypt they were the only two that entered into God's promise. We can break spiritual laws but we cannot change them. Wherever and whoever we have given legal access to spiritual things, we will reap the result and suffer the consequence.

In the world the children of royal descent have a way they must live. They cannot do just whatever they feel and want - they have guidelines to follow. We, as children of the King, also are of Royal descent with guidelines set out by the Kingdom of Righteousness. It is a Kingdom where love rules - not envy, strife, jealousy. It is a Kingdom where we are accepted in the Beloved. What are our responses and how should we be living?

We can have an abiding relationship or conflict. Jesus said if you abide in Me and My words in you, you will bear much fruit. Everything we need is in us when we become born again, but have we embraced the new life or are we walking in the old with all of our unresolved conflicts we have had in life It is important to resolve the conflicts to have healthy relationships.

A constant that will never waiver in us is when we know our Father's love which makes us secure, we find our identity and become confident. Without knowing His love, our Christian walk becomes more of highs and lows, or religious knowledge and works. This message points us to the importance of knowing His love.

Holding on to the little I have, but afraid to trust for more.  We need - like Mary, Abraham, David, and others - to trust for the impossible. I do not need to have a lot of faith, but what I have I will not let it be taken from me. Disappointments can rob us of our hope and Romans 5:5 says, "Hope does not disappoint". Paul said, in Philippians 4:10-13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".  

Jude 3 said that we should "earnestly contend for the faith". We need to take ownership of what God says - and anything outside of this, we need to discard.  We must see we have an enemy who vehemently wants to keep us from our faith, because in doing this He is able to keep God's plans from coming forth in our life. It is important to apply pressure every day on the kingdom of darkness.  

In Galatians 5:7 Paul says, "You ran well. Who hindered you...........?" They had lost faith in the message that salvation was by grace and not by works. When you lose something, there is a place where it has been misplaced. This message is to help us - with the aid of the Holy Spirit - find out: 'What was it, where was it, and when was it?', that we gave up our right of believing.  

Healing is for today. It is one of the grace's Jesus paid the price for. Isaiah prophesied that by His stripes (sufferings) healing would come. His suffering is over, healing is now. Don't let what you think or feel override what He  has already done.

Psalm 45:1, "My heart is overflowing with a good theme. I recite my composition concerning the King. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer." We were all created with God-potential but deliberate choices only will bring this potential forth. Daily distractions, if not properly handled, will take us away from worshipping the King. I must ask myself the questions: "What is my heart overflowing with?", " What composition am I reciting?", "What is my tongue writing?"

Jesus is our King who rules and reigns over all things. This message is a parallel between earthly kings and how people would come before them, and how we should come before Jesus. It is important for us to enter into the Holy of Holies, and get a revelation of His heart that our hearts would be changed, so we could rule and reign not only with Him, but like Him.

It is important for us to recognize things about ourself that cause us not to live in harmony with ourselves, God and others. Philippians 1:6, Paul comments in Christ". The confidence is this, He is doing the good work in us if we will let Him. What goes on in us will either afflict us or cause us to have a continual feast. Proverbs 15:15, "All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast." Jesus came to heal the broken hearted and set at liberty those who are bruised, as well as to preach. Are we letting Him heal us so that we can be the neighbor He is calling us to be? Our disharmony can hold us back from soaring like an eagle.  

Matthew 22:37-40 talks about loving God and loving my neighbor as myself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. It really means the whole word of God hangs on these two commandments. So love is the ultimate key to everything in our Christian walk. Is our heart enlarged enough to walk in these two great commandments? Psalm 119:32, "I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart." Have we given Him permission to bring about the enlargement to love as He loves? The book "Who Is My Neighbor" - which you can purchase on line - pulls out how God viewed those who did not love as He did. I believe it is important information to bring us to the place of seeing as He does.

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 lets us know that the weapons or our warfare are not carnal but MIGHTY in God. These mighty weapons can be brought into operation when we bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. What can happen when thoughts are not brought into captivity? What can happen when we punish all disobedience with obedience. We are to cast down ...lower in violence ..demolish all arguments and take them captive ...prisoners of war.
