We explore the vital link between repentance and the power of Pentecost. Our video reveals how repentance prepares we to receive the Holy Spirit. Discover the sequence: repentance, restoration, then Pentecost's power. This is a command!

The Spirit calls us home, not for perfection, but for rest. We invite the crippled, fearful, and traumatized to the King's table. We are called to preach the Gospel, embrace peace, and receive Holy Ghost power.

Today, we're reminded that weaknesses don't disqualify us. Scars and limps fade as we find a place at the King's table. From the table up, we are seen as sons, our past hidden.

“Have faith in God.” Mark 11:22

07/30/2024

When the Moabites, Ammonites, and the Meunites (Mount Seir) gathered themselves together to fight against King Jehoshaphat, he was afraid. (I would too)

His response? Seek the LORD and proclaim a fast.

If this happened today, some might question the wisdom behind this decision. Shouldn't he be preparing the army? Shouldn't he be acquiring the latest technology? The strongest machinery? The most powerful weapons money can buy? Should he be making alliances with other powerful nations?

See, Jehoshaphat knew something then that many still do not know now-- that if the Lord is not with you, it doesn't matter who's with you or what you have. You will not win in the fight. The enemies of this life are much stronger than you. But when God is on your side, it doesn't matter who or what is against you. You will prevail!

Then Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation in the house of the Lord and prayed one of the most beautiful prayers recorded in the Bible. (2 Chronicles 20:6-12) At the end of his supplication to God he said,

"...we have no might against this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, BUT OUR EYES ARE ON YOU." (v.12)

I'm thankful that we serve a God who answers prayer. Look at the LORD's response to the king's prayer...

"Thus says the LORD to you, 'Do not fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God's. (v.16)

You need not fight in this battle, set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf... Tomorrow go out and face them for the LORD is with you." (v.17)

We may ask why the Bible dedicated many chapters to recording fights and battles while other important things could have been said in its precious pages.

I believe the LORD wanted us to see what happened then and how He saved those who called upon Him and have put their trust in Him because He wants to do it again and again. He wants us to know that if He did it for them, He will do it for you. He is giving us a pattern to follow on how He wants to move on our behalf.

Friend, whatever battle you are facing today, you might feel overwhelmed like Jehoshaphat did. The enemies before you seem insurmountable but can I tell you, you need not fight this battle. The LORD will fight for you. Set your eyes on Him, stand still, and see His salvation.

For the battle is not yours but God's.

At first, it was Barnabas and Saul. (Acts 11:30; 12:25; 13:2;7)

And then, it was Paul and Barnabas. (Acts 13:43-Acts 15)

Barnabas meant, "the son of consolation." Barnabas was an encourager, equipper, teacher, and a disciple-maker.

In a world where most people want to get ahead and be first, we need the ministry of Barnabas who is willing to step back and encourage others to go farther, soar higher, grow greater, and lead better.

I don't need to be ahead of you because when you win, we all do.

“King David wrote in Psalm 92:2, “To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning and your faithfulness by night” (NASB).

Why does he write this?

He knew that when we have God’s lovingkindness, His love is like light. Everything is shining and happy. Everything is great. We declare love in the morning, but why do we declare His faithfulness at night?

Because it’s when we are hurt that we often can’t see God’s hand due to the darkness surrounding us. Therefore, even when we can’t see God’s loving hand, we declare that He is faithful. Even when we can’t see the hand of God, we have to trust the heart of God by proclaiming the promises and faithfulness of God. At those moments, we say, “Lord, even when I can’t see your hand, I am going to declare the heart of God and Your promises for my life.”

“We live in a world where people focus too much on image and reputation. Individuals and organizations work hard to build brands. People present carefully curated versions of themselves on social media to garner likes and gain followers. But reputation has no substance, and images are often inauthentic. What really matters is character because that determines who you are, how you interact with people, and what you’re capable of accomplishing. When your character exceeds your reputation, you can travel the high road even when it’s difficult because your values and internal fortitude support you.”

“If my reputation exceeds my character, I’m in trouble!”

High Road Leadership
