Gaining & Sustaining Victory
Jude 1:24 [KJV] “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.”
We gain lasting victory by turning to Jesus. When you are consumed by the love of Jesus, believe me, everything else fades away. The things that used to control you in the past, lose their hold on you because you have turned to a new love from the old love. Read the rest of this entry
“To God” “From Idols”
1Thess.1:9 (NIV) “…They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God” [with emphasis].
Can you identify the order that is outlined in today’s scriptural reference? God’s Word says turn to God from idols. In the original [in the Greek], it actually emphasizes the fact that you are not turning from idols to God, instead you turn to God from idols. Read the rest of this entry
Pay Attention!
Josh. 23:10 “Each one of you will put to flight a thousand of the enemy, for the Lord your God fights for you, just as he has promised. 11 So be very careful to love the Lord your God.”
As you arise and become all that God has created you to be, take note that the enemy will deploy three major strategies to combat you. And the strategies are deception, accusation and affliction. So be alert! Read the rest of this entry
Living Witness
Acts1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” [with emphasis]
Jesus is all about proving that He is alive and well. We have heard several testimonies of people that plug in to services in God’s Favourite House online and God delivers amazing results right there in their living rooms.

Body of Proof
1 Kings 18: 36 “…O Lord …prove today that you are God in Israel… Prove that I have done all this at your command. 38 Immediately the fire of the Lord flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water…”
In God’s Favourite House, we are totally grateful for the Presence of the Holy Spirit and we are grateful that at every meeting, it pleases the Holy Spirit to deliver the burden of proof that He is alive. The burden of proof is His way of saying, “I am alive, I am here and I am in charge.” Read the rest of this entry

Acts1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” [with emphasis]
When Jesus says, “…you will be my witnesses”, a lot of people think that all He is referring to is evangelism. Yes, it is evangelism but there are deeper implications. Jesus is saying to us, “You will receive power to become all that God has destined you to become. Read the rest of this entry
You First
Acts1:6 “So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” …8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses…” [with emphasis]
Everyone that followed Jesus while He walked the earth, even the people that followed Him closely, had an agenda for Him. And it was because they saw Jesus as a political deliverer, so there were very many attempts to make Jesus king. Read the rest of this entry
Israel
Heb.11:30 “It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around Jericho for seven days, and the walls came crashing down.”
The seventh example of stepping up by faith is the Israelites. Heb.11:29 “It was by faith that the people of Israel went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were all drowned.” In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, as you take your steps of faith forward, every Egyptian that attempts to follow you will drown.

Heb.11:17 “It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him.
