Sunday, August 31, 2014---Connected!

Good morning!  Welcome to Gateway...

The LEGO Principle

Discipleship and Connection:
They’ve been made since the 1950s and come in different shapes, sizes, colors and boxes.
Despite their differences and the year they were made LEGOs have the ability to do one thing: Connect to the top and connect at the bottom, because they can do that – LEGO pieces can create just about any shape there is.
Similarly, in Christ we are wired on the inside to connect to God and with one another.  Regardless of where we come from, our skin color or our denominational “box” we have the power to connect to God and to one another. And because we can do that we can pretty much shape the world we live in.
Discipleship is still the game changer that can transform the world through Christ. The LEGO Principle features fourteen Christ-centered lessons on discipleship designed to activate Christians in pews to take action. Go and make disciples!

Lord RELEASE the LIVING WATERS in Jesus' name. I say BE BLESSED, be REFRESHED, be RENEWED--you are coming into the NEW, the NEXT in Jesus' name!

HEALING CONFESSIONS from Pastor Tonya Hall

37 more days of fasting NEGATIVE speaking and thinking. SPEAK LIFE ONLY...Today's declaration... Healing Scriptures (speak healing into your body/spirit/life)
Jesus is the Lord of my life. Sickness and disease have no power over me. I am forgiven and free from sin and guilt. I am dead to sin and alive to righteousness. Colossians 1:21, 22

Jesus bore my sins in His Body on the tree; therefore I ...am dead to sin and alive unto God and by His stripes I am healed and made whole. 1 Peter 2:24; Romans 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:21

Jesus bore my sickness and carried my pain. Therefore I give no place to sickness or pain. For God sent His Word and healed me. Psalms 107:20

No evil will befall me, neither shall any plague come near my dwelling. For You have given Your angels charge over me. They keep me in all my ways. In my pathway is life, healing and health. Psalms 91:10, 11; Proverbs 12:28

Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. Therefore I refuse to allow sickness to dominate my body. The Life of God flows within me bringing healing to every fiber of my being. Matthew 8:17; John 6:63

My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I make a demand on my body to release the right chemicals. My body is in perfect chemical balance. My pancreas secretes the proper amount of insulin for life and health. 1 Corinthians 6:19

Growths and tumors have no right to my body. They are a thing of the past for I am delivered from the authority of darkness. Colossians 1:13, 14

Every organ and tissue of my body functions in the perfection that God created it to function. I forbid any malfunction in my body in Jesus’ Name. Genesis 1:28, 31

Your Word is manifest in my body, causing growths to disappear. Arthritis is a thing of the past. I make a demand on my bones and joints to function properly in Jesus’ Name. Mark 11:23; Matthew 17:20

Thank You Father that I have a strong heart. My heart beats with the rhythm of life. My blood flows to every cell of my body restoring life and health abundantly. Proverbs 12:14; 14:30

My heart beat is normal. My heart beats with the rhythm of life, carrying the life of God throughout my body restoring life and health abundantly. John 17:23; Ephesians 2:22

I command my blood cells to destroy every disease, germ and virus that tries to inhabit my body. I command every cell of my body to be normal in Jesus’ Name. Romans 5:17; Luke 17:6
I make a demand on my joints to function perfectly. There will be no pain or swelling in my joints. My joints refuse to allow anything that will hurt or destroy their normal function. Proverbs 17:22

You have forgiven all my iniquities; You have healed all my diseases; You have redeemed my life from destruction; You have satisfied my mouth with good things so that my youth is renewed as the eagles. Psalms 103:2-5

You have given me abundant life. I receive that life through Your Word and it flows to every organ of my body bringing healing and health. John 10:10; John 6:63

I am redeemed from the curse. Galatians 3:13 is flowing in my blood stream. It flows to every cell of my body, restoring life and health. Mark 11:23; Luke 17:6. My affliction will leave and not come back again. Nahum 1:9 

Every word curse has been sent in REVERSE...I am FREE to live well, love purely, and last forever...

Sunday, August 23, 2014----New Wine

NEW WINE!!

From Pastor Ryan Lestrange (@RyanLestrange)

Many people want to taste the fruit of the NEW WINE, they want the POWER, the IMPARTATION, the MIRACLES that are flowing through the NEW WINE but they want to hold fast to the old RELIGIOUS wineskin. 

This does not WORK, the reason why you are THIRSTY for the NEW WINE is because God is trying to ALIGN your spiritual LIFE with the PLAN & STRUCTURE for this hour & this MOVE of GOD. In fact, there are churches & ministries around the globe that are HUNGRY for visitation but they REJECT a new WINESKIN, they continue to CLING to lifeless patterns of MINISTRY that worked years ago but are not in line with what God is doing NOW in this MOMENT. 

The truth is it takes NEW WINESKINS to contain NEW WINE. REFORM proceeds REVIVAL, the church is in a time of divine transition. We are honoring the moves of God from the past—they are a godly heritage BUT it is VITAL that we adopt an Apostolic/PROPHETIC nature and DIVE INTO the move of God that it unfolding NOW in this MOMENT. 

We must STEP out of our COMFORT zone and embrace the WINESKIN that God has ordained for this moment. 2 Keys:

1) Apostolic & Prophetic leaders who will lead the church into the STRUCTURE & flow for this hour with fearless abandon.

 2) Hungry believers who are DETERMINED to Go with God and be a part of ALL that He is doing in the earth.

Sunday, August 17, 2014----Trusting God

Welcome Apostle Leon Walters!

Thank you for the Awakening!

What It Means to Trust God

Trusting God is simply believing that He loves you, He’s good, He has the power to help you, He wants to help you, and He will help you. Christians are called believers, but many times, we are more like unbelieving believers. We trust our friends, the bank, the stock market or the government more than we trust God and His Word.  We can trust HIM! 
~ Joyce Meyer ~

Marriage Moment from Fierce Marriage:

God is the fullness of love. Doesn't it make sense that in order to know and experience love we must first know and experience God?

EXCUSES OR IMPROVEMENTS? 

"Don’t make excuses make improvements” to better yourself, your life, your business, your church, etc you need to value the importance of this very phrase.....“don’t make excuses make improvements. Too many people have a very bad disease that I call “excusitis”.   ~Catherine Soliz-Rey~

Sunday, August 3, 2014----Change is Good!

CHANGE IS GOOD FROM JENNIFER JONES:

Believe it or not, change is good for you.  Here are a few reasons why:

1). Changes makes you flexible. Being stubborn and resistant to new things will make a normally stressing situation even more so. Change helps you be fluid and go with the flow.

2). Change makes you smarter. If things never changed, you’d never learn anything new. And every time you learn a new skill — even if it’s just how to adapt — you are that much smarter than you were yesterday.

3). Change reminds us that anything is possible. It’s easy to think that anything that’s stuck will always be that way (i.e., the career that won’t lift off the ground or the marriage that’s coasting on neutral). But when you see things change, whether it’s in your life or someone else’s, it’s encouragement to know that nothing stays the same forever.
