Wow!  That’s about all I can say!  Revival is here!  God is making sure of His promise and we are truly moving from glory to glory!  If you have missed the past weeks at FireHouse make it a priority to be there this coming week.  Bring the sick, the hurting, the lost, the deaf, and the blind!  God showed up so strong Sunday night that I believe we crossed over into a deeper and greater revelation and visitation of His glory and presence!

Don’t miss this week and come ready and expecting that God will show up!

Louisville will be the most saved city in America!

Because of our lack of sermon this week, here is a past message from PR! Enjoy!

If you were unable to attend with us this past week you missed an awesome time in God’s presence!  God really moved on us in such a way that we were not concerned about recording.  So this week we want to share with you a prophetic word that was spoken over our gathering last week.  For several weeks now there has been a consistant increase to His glory that is being released over us.  I urge you to please make it a priority to not miss a service.

Pastor Ryan did mention one point that we feel is of great concern.  As we all know, the eyes of the world will be pointed on Louisville, KY, this weekend with the running of the Kentucky Derby.  Now with this event comes a lot of individual parties around the city and in just about every neighborhood.  In PR’s neighborhood there are a group of neighbors that have a party just about every weekend; they will make up every reason to get together and party.  God spoke to Pastor and brought conviction to him this weekend while one of their parties was going on.  The hosts for these parties were setting up tents and preparing for the upcoming Derby weekend in which they will shut down their entire block for a party.  God told PR to look at his neighbors, they will meet every single weekend with the purpose of drinking the cares of the world away and what the previous week held.  They prepare well in advance, making food, putting their beverages on ice, setting up tents, and doing whatever they need to make sure they have a good time and a good turnout.  Why does my church, and my children not do the same?  We come in unprepared and not ready to worship, not ready to praise, and will think of every excuse imaginable to not even come to church much less participate once we have arrived.  We must do a better job at preparing day after day for our time of worship.  Sunday should not be the only day that we “party” with God, and we definitely need to prepare day after day and read His Word, pray, and take time to worship Him on your own time!  I urge you to set aside a part of your day and go after God!  Ask for His glory to fall right where you are and I promise, we WILL see Louisville be the most saved city in America!

All because of Him

Joshua

Last Sunday’s message was a great one by PR! Join us each week for our pursuit for His Glory!

The hard answer is because religion is easier than relationship. Going to the Dr. or hospital is easier than believing for healing. Talking on the phone, texting, chatting or facebooking is easier than talking to God and waiting on Him to answer.

At what point do we realize that our ability to be like Jesus is connected to our ability to pay the price Jesus paid. He walked in constant communion with the Father. He never did anything to promote His own will. There in lies the problem. I find that the majority of the issues I have to deal with are because I want it line up with my will. This why Paul said if you’re going to live in the Spirit then walk in the Spirit. I have found that it is so much harder to walk in the in the Spirit than to just say I live in the Spirit…Here’s why. If I say I live in the Spirit then there is no requirement to make my life a public example. However if I walk in the Spirit then everywhere I go, there is a requirement to display actions that are in line with the Spirit, and for it to be seen by everyone I come in contact with.  

Jesus never shied away from an opportunity to make His relationship with the Father public. In contrast, He never once wanted to get credit for what the Father did through Him. It was this humility and willingness to walk in unbroken communion with the Father that positioned Him to transform the culture of the day in which He lived. The wonderful miracles and healings Jesus did were a byproduct of the relationship He had with the Father.

So then the formula is simple…right? Walk in unbroken communion with the Father. Do not just live in the Spirit but walk in the Spirit.

If it is so easy, why do I struggle so much to do so? Maybe it is because it doesn’t fit my will, and where I live is not big enough for my will and the will of the Father. Wow!!!! You would think I would get it by now. What surrender for Jesus to say, “not my will but Your will be done Father.”

I’m sure you do not have the struggles with your will vs. the Father’s will like I do. So please pray for me that I will get it…soon. The culture is waiting to be transformed by you and me, if we can ever get it.

Romans said the earth is crying out for the manifestation of the sons of God. God Help me to be one that can fit the bill to be called a true son and answer the call of the earth …, wait for it, wait for it…

To transform the culture to mirror the Kingdom! You knew it was coming…

This weekend was amazing! I ministered in Florence at Heritage Fellowship and it was the bomb. That church is so cool. Pastor Cleddie Keith has done an amazing job. It was great to be with my friends Paul and Lauren Cooper too. Paul has grown so much and I am very proud of him.

God showed up in a big way. There was a heaviness of his presence that was awesome! There were numerous healings. One that sticks out was a teenage girl whose jaw was popping and would lock from time to time. God miraculously healed her. She was running and jumping up and down the isle, and I will never forget her smile when she found me and said “God just healed my jaw!” it was amazing! Thank you Lord for confirming your word with signs and wonders! That was one of many healings that night. I know that if we can learn to be thankful for jaws being healed God will give us the opportunity to be thankful for cancer being healed.

From there we went to the Final Push conference in Lexington, where we ministered with Jason Upton, Rick Pino, Mitchell Tolle, Lee Claypoole and David Boggs. This was an amazing conference and literally hundreds of teens lives were changed! I love being able to be apart of what God is doing in this generation! Heaven has its attention on this generation in a big way.

God give us Your eyes so that we can see the dominion You see here on Earth, and make us agents of change that will transform the culture to mirror the kingdom!
