Fearless La Podcast

Nowadays there is a lot of talk about auras and vibes and people are constantly complimenting those they meet, on good vibes. But as Christian’s we know that good vibes don’t break yolks the Holy Spirit does so we as a church want to be good stewards of our faith by looking at the Strengths, Weaknesses, Adjustments and Threats of relationship with the Lord. In the last days God reminds us that as pain increases, people are going to have the form of godliness but deny its power. We will have a Church that is trying to look right, sound right and feel right but deep down they are not right. But how are we to heed to this warning? How are we to become the mature church of Jesus Christ who will walk in all that He has for us? 1) We have to try to renew this lifestyle with His word, by putting in the time daily to receive that first hand revelation from Him.  2) We need to operate in real strength which only comes when we can submit to Him even when we don’t understand.  3) We need to be a voice that believes in

Light shines brightest in the dark and although there might be people that use God’s name invain wanting to get their glory here on earth, there is a group of people who would rather be famous in hell than in anywhere else.Fame is about focusing on yourself whereas influence is about those around you. We should be seeking to help those in every sphere of our lives by pointing them to Jesus. Religion will make us afraid of hell but a relationship with God will make hell more afraid of us so here’s some practical steps on how to walk this walk. 1. Proclaim the gospel boldly and regularly and intentionally.  2. Live out the gospel, let your actions line up with the word. 3.  Support the gospel put all your time talent and resources into kingdom things.  4.  Speak Truth in love in order to help those around us.  5.  Be light in dark places, seek an opportunity to be the beacon of light everywhere you go.  6.  Stand firm in your faith and trust god to fight your battles! 7.  Confront apathy in your life.  8.  Don

Sometimes our issues can get so big that it consumes who we are and we start to base our identity off of it. But we serve a God who is not only powerful but intentional and He walks slow through a crowd so that we may reach out for Him. Whatever we praise ends up getting magnified in our lives  but we have the power to flip that and speak the things God has spoken over our lives! Desperate people do desperate things and when we want him to show up in our lives we have to go to him no matter the cost.  1 God will use desperation to push us into our destiny. 2 Desperation is the door that breakthrough walks through.  3 Desperation will open up doors that complacency will keep shut. 4 Faith is the only thing that activates the miraculous with God Faith needs to be exercised so the more weight we add to our faith, the stronger it grows. The things we go through will give us the strength to believe in something greater. Faith gives us confidence and empowers us to endure even when we want to quit. If faith moves

In part two of this sermon, Pastor Jeremy Johnson talks about how the enemy has taken out kings and monarchs so it is unwise to think that we could stand our ground without putting on the full armor of God daily. There is a day of evil coming and we have a ground to stand on, the ground God has given us specifically to fight for. We think that we are fighting the good fight of faith when we are advancing but sometimes it’s a victory to just be standing. The very fact that we are not retreating means that we get to boldly declare that we are still here, in His presence trusting that we will make it through another day. All of us, no matter who we are, will have Goliath attacks: problems that seem to be there from when we wake up to when we go to sleep. The word “Goliath” means to remove or take away so maybe for some of us the enemy keeps taking away our peace or our finances or our future but whatever the spiritual battle looks like, the only way to conquer it is by doing the following:  1. Pick up Courage:

The christian life isn’t a playground, it's a battleground and there is a constant spiritual warfare that is taking place. The attack on our lives is proof that we’re going the right direction but the good news we can stand on is that the fight is not even, the enemy is no threat to our God and there is already a victory that has been won. In those moments there is only one place that strength comes from and that is being covered in the Lord. Know that if Satan is attacking us it’s only because God’s allowing it and that there is nothing that happens apart from God. But by facing the attack and overcoming the onslaught we get to help someone else do the same. There are three things required to face the battle: 1 Filling ourselves up with the word which is the Truth of God. 2 Standing firm in the peace of God which can only come when we pursue His presence 3 Picking up our Faith and linking it with someone else's.  The armor of God isn’t just a nice picture that Paul is trying to paint for us but he is remin

Gentleness and Kindness might seem like obvious traits to operate in but there is something deeper in how God views these fruits. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. No matter how much we know about Jesus, it is not until we can look like Him, act like Him and be like Him that we will see them respond to Him through our lives. It is very common in our day and age to claim something and not live it but people are simply wanting us to live out what we are speaking about. The gentleness & kindness that we display in our relationships will truly determine how people view the love of God.Nothing the Lord does is accidental or unintentional so why does He ask us to walk in these attributes? God asks us to walk in meekness and humility (gentleness) and grace and integrity (kindness), because as a society we get so focused on having a right to do something but we need to be more concerned about doing what is right in the Lord’s eyes. There are moments we think we have the right

Read Ezekiel 37:1-11 There are ministries that come and go as times pass by because the anointing oil, the outpouring of God's presence was something that was not sought after daily. If our lives have gotten boring, the beauty is that we can get that fire back in our bones by earnestly seeking His presence. Getting fresh oil in our life means getting a new attitude and positioning ourselves in a way that the Hand of God can come upon us, it’s a constant posture of gratitude and worship instead of whining and complaining.All of us are always being updated by God as everytime we get plugged into Him we are not only getting recharged but we are getting renewed into the image of Him. However most of us are more interested in his hand than his face so instead of seeking him for his blessings it’s when we seek Him for Him that we will experience fresh oil. The encounter happens when we realise that:  1] Prayer isn't about praying, it’s about being in a relationship. 2] We won’t be in control when God is moving 3]

When Jesus walked through the earth He did so with the intention of being an example for how to live life with the Spirit. The fruit of our spirit is not something that just appears during times of trouble but cultivated daily so that people around us will be able to have access to someone that has joy, peace, kindness, faithfulness and so forth. Apostle Paul tells us in Galatians that there is a constant battle between the flesh and the spirit and all of us Christians should try our best to live by the spirit and not by the flesh. When we think about faithfulness it can be broken down into a simple equation of Faithfulness being a result of character, stewardship and longevity. These three things being different from those that are out there in the world will help people identify that we carry the faithful love of Jesus.  1. Character is not something that is a front but it is who you are in every aspect of our lives, both seen and unseen. It’s what allows us to live life with integrity. 2. Stewardship requ

Many times in the Bible we have examples of Jesus  was walking through life and walking through crowds. It’s not that he was lazy but he was trying to model a lifestyle where we get to work out of a place of patience and rest. When we pray, “God I want all that you have for me.” Do we consider what that statement means? We like to think that if things are good they are from God but there  are moments that God allows opposition to slow us down. Opposition can feel like it was sent to destroy us but in fact the Lord allows those things to develop us. Instead of being angry at God we need to start getting a perspective that the attack is a compliment that we are going in the right direction in life. Patience encourages us to: 1. Be faithful in what we’re doing. 2. To trust God especially when we don’t understand. 3. To pursue God and operate out of a place of rest. If we can be present and wait for what God has for us we will find that a lifestyle of rest in Jesus which will ultimately yield the greatest form

Jesus walks through the garden of our lives and he reaches in to see if there is fruit. Sometimes we advertise that we are fruit bearing believers but when the Lord looks for it, He might not find anything. God prunes us because that is a part of Him extending His grace towards us. God is constantly trying to remind us of how far we have come, especially if we’ve allowed life to make us stingy with our praise and generosity! God didn’t need Mary’s worship just like He doesn’t need one more voice to fill the choir of heaven, but He honored Mary because she understood what time it was and who it was that she was honoring. If everything in this life belongs to God, there is absolutely nothing that did not come from the generosity of God including the breath in our lungs. With this resource all He is asking is that we take care of His bride and we as believers will take care of what he loves the most for the following reasons: 1) How much we’ve been loved will determine how much we love. 2) It’s not that we don’t

There comes a point in life when we realize that we cannot control anyone other than ourselves and we need to develop our weaknesses into strengths. If our self control starts in our minds then we need to become masters of what thought patterns are cycling through them and by living out the fruit of the spirit, its evidence will convict those around us! Sometimes the things we choose to do might not be sinful but we do need to ask the question if it was helpful or beneficial. We need to live to a standard that raises the people around us also to a new level. We need to look at every area of our lives when it comes to discipline because everything we have been given is for others and not for us. 1. Self control and discipline is a way we get to honor God.  2. Discipline in one area will bleed into other areas.  3. There are consequences to a lack of self control and can cost you your call We need to take ownership and authority over our minds, our mouths and our actions. If we are more concerned about what p

God loves us for who we are and not what we can give him. He loves us even when we don’t produce but sometimes we get distraught over the problems that are inside of us and we, just like Hannah, can have everything we want and still be unhappy. When we don’t love the person God created us to be we will never be satisfied. We think material and earthly things bring value to who we are but all the Lord is wanting us to do is be at perfect peace with who we are.Here’s why we need to press into God now more than ever: 1) If we  live life vertically focusing on God, it will be our best year. 2) Whatever we lost we didn’t need. 3) If we focus on what isn’t perfect, we miss what is good.

Pastor Christy Johnson preaches a message "Kingdom Scales: Worth The Weight".   When we ask God to use our lives, what we don’t realize we are asking for is for the Lord to prepare us. We are going to have to go through some moments of pressing and pruning which end up being quite painful but instead of complaining when those things happen let's aim to become people of prayer! The weight of God’s glory on our lives might not happen easily but it will happen faithfully and that glory will always be worth the wait. We cannot abort the assignment because on the other side of our faithfulness we will experience the beautiful birth of something impactful.

Pastor Jeremy Johnson preaches a message "MAGNIFY" and explains when we MAGNIFY God instead of the problem, you're able to get a kingdom perspective. 

Read: Matthew 5: 14-16 | Proverbs 23:7 | John 7:22 | 2 Timothy 2 As we continue to dive deeper into our walk with God we realize that Church is not a hiding place but a rallying place to get fired up for the next mission Our only objective in life  is that people discover Jesus so how we represent Him is going to be more effective out in the world that inside the walls of the church. In order to complete this mission we have to stand on the truth that we are both kings in ruling but also kings in waiting, so as we are expectant to God to take us to that “next big thing” we can still influence the atmosphere of where we are at.  Here are some things to think about as we continue to reflect the light of Christ:  1 Sometimes our lack of promotion is just a season of preparation.  2 To bring glory means to excel in whatever it is we do and that excellence will speak to people. 3 We have to be overt and covert at the same time.  It’s our mandate to change this city and to change this country for the Lord. A c

Our dreams can never know the power of resurrection unless they experience some sort of death. All of us want to live but very few of us want our dreams to die and in this walk we find that if they die they actually go into His hands and in His hands there is resurrection power. In order to share in his blessings we have to choose to share in his suffering! It’s his humanity that draws us closer to him but it’s his divinity that transforms the humanity in us and this transformation is the “process” that we all go through. The process is painful but here are somethings that we can take heart in knowing: Even Jesus prayed to forfeit the process before the promise, but in that prayer He chose God’s way! The pain will only affect one person but the process will birth something that will impact the lives of many. Jesus passed the test because He knew  that God was ordering His steps. He clung to trust even when pain was imminent. All of us must go to the wilderness alone and it’s there that we will get prepared

When we accept Jesus into our hearts we’re not waiting for anointing to hit us but we now become carriers of His Spirit. The heart is the center of our life and when we invite him into the center, this life is no longer subject to our old ways but it is now subject to His rule. By accepting Jesus we are saying yes to receiving all power, all authority and all of heaven that is waiting to back you up. This is what Jesus was trying to say when He said that we have been given the keys to the Kingdom. But sometimes we run into walls in this walk of faith and we begin to question that authority. 1. A wall is not an offensive weapon, it is a defensive tactic. If we've hit a wall it's not because the devil advanced on us but it's because you've advanced on him. 2. When we’ve reached the end of our faith it simply means we have come to the beginning of His 3. The enemy will lie to us from behind the wall and the only way to use the keys is to use God’s word. The truth of His word will set us free. God wants to rele

Read- Isaiah 43:18 Acts 2:17-21 Revelation 12:7-12 Revelation 1:14 Revival starts when you catch a new vision of the same old situation. As we prepare to take ground, the most important thing on this journey would be to forget the former things and focus in on what God is doing right here, right now. This fresh vision of our lives will open up our hearts to a move of God like never before and we are to be a church that is building the kingdom wherever we go, we need to remember the following: It is the power of the blood and the power of our testimony that will cause the shift in pain. People don’t connect to our promise they connect to our pain, like a puzzle piece, it's what was broken and missing in us that has created a space for someone to partner with us in life. God is bringing us to the dark places to bring the water out of us to bless those around us. Those rivers of living water will be more of a miracle when they come forth in a dry and desert place. We will never step out if we don't know wh

Read- Revelation 12:7 Luke 8:39 Titus 3:3 Colossians 3 We have to remember that more than just one man speaking from a pulpit, there is power in the word of our testimonies. When Legion was saved he wanted to follow Jesus but instead of going with Him he was asked to return home and proclaim the goodness of God. It’s time for us to go back to the place where we were broken so that we can proclaim the truth of Jesus and the power of His salvation. Here’s why our testimony is important: God took the wages of sin that were piled up against us and he justified us by his grace to allow us step into a purpose that is greater than we can possibly imagine. The ark of the covenant used to be something that held the presence of God but now we are the ark of God, we have a story to tell. Religion has become the chains of bondage instead of sin but let’s witness through the Holy Spirit to those around us and help break the Spirit of Religion off. We worship gifted people when our gifts are simply tools to build t

Amos 9:12-5 Matthew 10: 29-31 Luke 12:6-7 Back in the day the sparrow was a pest in their towns and homes. It would build nests where it wasn’t supposed to, it was too quick to be caught, however there are places in the bible that the Lord tries to remind us about our worth through the picture of a Sparrow. The sparrow is both vigilant and joyful. God is looking for some people who are both stubborn and joyful, stubborn for the right things like the presence of God and joyful because of the fruit of the Spirit. 1. It’s because we are so fearful of other things but God, that we get angry and frustrated over our lives. When we are in awe of God it replaces all other awes! 2. Vigilance and Joy can be found in a firm foundation of the valley, the mountain top, in the presence of my enemies, the green pastures because God is everywhere. 3.The sparrow is a reminder of not who you are but whose you are. While people overlook the sparrow the Lord looks over it. Let’s focus on the nature and character of God and begin
