There are people who believe that prayer is just for those who want to relate closer to God. But prayer is a dynamic partnership where some of the most vital and intriguing changes happen. Intercessory prayer, as we will learn, means to pray what God wants us to pray, when He wants us to pray, for as long as He wants us to pray.

The power to heal, the power to speak prophetic words, the power to enact miracles - all of these powers originate with God. But God will not force his miraculous gifts upon anyone. We must receive them and then give them out in obedience. God will supply the power, but this message explores what we must supply in the realm of powerful ministry.

As we look at all the ways in which God must partner with us, perhaps the most critical has to do with holiness/sanctification. This message explores the mechanics of how we become more holy through a partnership with God.

Faith is much simpler than memorizing a list of beliefs or convincing yourself God will heal you. Faith is a relationship with God where we trust Him and therefore act upon His leading hand. Those who trust in the Lord come alive inside and when they come alive inside they experience more of God's voice and Presence. All of that causes us to trust him more - and so on.

Just as there are several things that contribute to our spiritual being becoming sleepy, there are also several ways we can cure this condition. The act of submitting to God is more than just an act of obedience - it also warms up that cold place in our hearts which has gone dead from disuse.

All of us who want to get closer to God and experience God's voice and presence need to focus on who we spend time with in life. If we are surrounding ourselves with nurturing, healthy people, it will cause more growth to happen than if our influences are from unhealthy people.

In this December 10 teaching from the School of Intercession, we focus on how we can dramatically impact people's lives who do not have a relationship with God. There are actually five ways addressed in this seminar:

1. That the eyes of their heart will be opened.
2. Their sins forgiven
3. The spirit of confusion bound up
4. Paving the way for God's plan
5. That certain influence will be brought upon their will.

As Matt Redman calls out on our behalf, "I'm coming back to the heart of worship". At the heart of worship is a cure for the spiritual sleepiness that ails us. But someone will say "worship is one of the hardest things to do when we're spiritually sleepy...how can it be a cure?" Indeed, how? This message will address that question and a

A soul-tie can be defined as two people linking to each other through shared emotional connections, shared experiences and similar shared values. God said that it is good we not be alone, but too many soul-ties (and especially soul ties that result from sin) will actually drive us away from God and cause Spiritual Sleepiness to get worse.

Note: The first five minutes of the podcast were not recorded.

Many of the factors which lead to a person having Spiritual Sleepiness result from bad choices. But there is one factor which doesn't seem to involve bad choices: An absent father. But the effect it has on a child regarding our relationship with God is a choice. Today we explore this contributing factor to some spiritual sleepiness.

This is the first message in an 8 part series focusing on the critical problem affecting Christians today called "Spiritual Sleepiness". In this message, we look at what this condition really is and how it looks from the inside out. Conditions such as not being able to hear God, not feeling his presence and not being able to connect with other believers are all manifestations of this deadly virus.

There is a proper way to read the end of a New Testament book and we will learn in this message how to do that. But more importantly, we focus on the meaning of the phrase 'Eternal Life' and what it offers to all men. At the end of the message at our October 18 service, 5 people received the Gift of Eternal Life.

There are many people who feel weighted down by their own mistakes, by life's difficulties and by the changes life often brings. Some people make those burdens worse...but there are some people who help to lift the burdens off others. When you learn to deal with your own loads, you can help the people who cannot get out from underneath.

Most Christians, when asked, assume that the reference to the "flesh" in the Bible refers to sin. But there is a lot to the flesh that may seem virtuous, godly and reverent...and still be in the flesh. This is a contrast study between the Flesh and the Spirit. Who will win?

We most often think of "service" jobs as the lowest rung on the corporate job ladder. But in God's Kingdom, service is the key to fulfillment and happiness. Though we may admit that the Bible says this, we often don't really believe it. This message focuses on how this is practically true and can be lived by all quite effectively.

The book of Galatians focuses on the dangers of adding laws and rules to the essentials of the Gospel message. But we also run the risk of allowing our freedom to head into territory that is unsafe, unwise and unhealthy. How can a believer find a balance between legalism and unsafe behavior? This message answers that question.

The energy we expend daily is running thin. Perhaps this is because too many things are now vying for a share of that energy. Not only that, but at the last minute, crises and calls for help can max out our energy resource pool. This message takes a look at how to start getting a handle on this crisis.

I say I can't find something in a drawer. My wife says "You look like a man"...meaning "You look through stuff like a man does". She goes over to the drawer and finds it in 4 seconds.

Erwin McManus in this clip explains why.

What do drinking, playing musical instruments in church, playing poker and working in a baseball stadium all have in common? At one time or another, all of these have been used as reasons to exclude people from Christianity. In this message from Galatians 3, we will look at the dangers of rules in church and the true meaning of God's Law. The Law was never meant to bring us to God - it was created to be our nanny. And because we have begun to grow up into Christ. We don't need that Nanny any longer. Goodbye Nanny.
