Bible study conversation led by Krista Smith on the lessons from the Book of Joshua.

You don't have because you don't ask. And then the things that you're asking for, you're asking for just to consume them into your own lives. You're asking for the this and the that, the trivial things. But the weightier things, the more important things, the critical things...you have left them on the table and God is saying, come and ask me. "Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish." Jeremiah 33:3 AMP

We are in the season of the restoration of all things as the Lord is soon coming for His Bride the Church, both Jew and Gentile. A Bride who has made herself ready. Revelation 19:7 The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, “Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness, and unprofitable things.” That’s the NKJV let’s look at the same verse in the NLT translation: “Nations from around the world will come to you (who is you? It’s Israel, the people of God) and say, “Our ancestors left us a foolish heritage, for they worshiped worthless idols. What does that mean? I want to ask you to stay with me through this video. I believe it may be one of the most important history lessons you’ll ever hear about the church. As the scriptures foretold, I want to show you that the church has inherited lies, doctrine, and practices that seem innocent but are in total opposition to the Word of God. This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’ Jeremiah 6:16 NLT "Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Join Reverend Bernie Dorsey as he shares and testifies of the mighty work of God in our day and age to set the captive free. "In my name, they will cast out demons." This is something that honestly, we really should see more of as believers. We should see more deliverance, because it's actually the first thing Jesus says will be one of the signs that follow those who believe that in his name, demons will be cast out. And so that, that kind of gets me wondering why don't we see it here very often? It does happen in America but not nearly as much as I think we've seen it in parts of East Africa and some other parts of the world. The church seems to, in so many ways be irrelevant in the realm of power anymore. Why are we not seeing miracles happen? When's the last time most churches saw a miracle? When's the last time most churches saw God demonstrate His power over darkness right in front of their eyes, right? If we believe that Jesus is who He says He is then the word is saying that one of the signs that follow would be this kind of sign. And think that we should be walking in a little more expectation of seeing God demonstrate his power over darkness. It's something that we should look with expectation for him to do. Just like we look for healing miracles, just like we look for other things. Deliverance is something that, as believers, I think we should expect to see. "And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen." - Mark 16:20

The Bible says, be perfect because I am perfect. We cannot perfect ourselves, but the suffering helps us in God uses it, to perfect us in Him. So Jesus' way must become our way. It all begins with self-denial, and that's exactly what Jesus did. Let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God. That is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to him. Amen. Self-denial. You must say no to your ego. What you want, what you like, what you think, and what you feel does not matter. God has a big plan and a purpose, and that is to redeem mankind and reconcile us to Himself. God's desire from the very beginning has been to reveal himself to man. Jesus said to his disciples, if anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me for whoever desires to save his life will lose it. And whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What is a man profited if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?

You who are here, you've been serving the Lord for a long time. People look at you and they call you the believers. the Christians, the men and women of God, the servants of the Most High God. And in order to get there, there is a requirement that you believe you are a believer. But my question to you is, What does it mean to believe? Yeah, I know you know the answer, but let's, let's take it a little step further. Jesus came on the scene and he was preaching the kingdom of God, new dynamics altogether. John the Baptist laid the foundation for him. Jesus came and he was unpacking the kingdom of God, but he was not only just preaching like John the Baptist. He was bringing the manifestation of the kingdom of God within the territories that he visited. And so the miracles came, the signs and the wonders were there. In heaven, there is no sickness. And so when he came, no sickness should be there. This is the reality of the kingdom of heaven. But then he challenged the believers. Hey, believe on the son that was sent. You will be saved. Believe. Now, what was he expecting of them? Join Pastor Shayne Payne of Elim Global Mission located in Staten Island, New York. Listen to a passionate and thought-provoking message inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Every time The Lord gave us his commandments, every time He told us to practice certain behaviors, what was the purpose of that behavior? It was so that His people would live in holiness...in purification, and so that His presence could be amongst his people.

"...these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” -Mark 16:17-18
