…with His wounds we are healed

The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

There is great power in proclamation. When Ezekiel proclaimed the dry bones became a great army. When Elijah proclaimed the heavens held its rain.

Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See Pt. 2: Witchcraft and the Occult

Why are we so attracted to darkness? Could it be because we are the light of the world, and we’re meant to go out into the darkness? or is it something much darker drawing us? What about witchcraft?

Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he brings the powerful second part of our series “Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See,” exposing the truth behind witchcraft and the occult.

Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See Pt. 1: Christians, Scary Movies, and The Spirit of Fear

In today’s society, we love to be scared. To get our adrenaline pumping. Heart racing. We love Fear. Why? Why has fear become a drug in our society? And it’s not just the world either; it’s the Church. We, as the Church, love this drug as well. We love to be with the rest of society indulging in the drug, but does this help build up the Temple of God? Should Christians watch Horror/Scary movies? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he brings the first message of our new message series titled, ‘Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See.’

2 Timothy 1:7
Psalm 101:2–4
Matthew 6:22–23
Proverbs 23:7KJV
1 Corinthians 6:19–20
John 15:4, 7-8
Philippians 4:8–9
Matthew 6:33
2 Corinthians 10:4–6

More Information on Christians and Horror/Scary Movies?

According to a study done by Psychology Today in 2008,

‘And anxiety has been increasing. The average high school kid has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950’s. We are getting more anxious every decade. Psychologists have speculated about the possible reasons for this increase in both anxiety and depression over the last fifty years.’

Psychology Today

The average high school kid in 2008 had the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950’s, and according to Psychology Today anxiety gets worse every decade. It’s now been over a decade since this study in 2008. So, how much more has our society become anxious? Why is anxiety rising at such a rampant speed in our society?

Could it be that we made a partnership with fear in the 60s when we introduced Creature Features? We no longer had to leave our homes to see horror films, we could turn on our television and tune in to watch classic horror films throughout the decades starting with the 30s. We no longer went to the movies, watched the film, and then returned to our home; instead we brought the horror films home with us.

The very definition of horror films should cause Christians to question their participation. According to Wikipedia,

“A horror film is one that seeks to elicit fear in its audience, for entertainment purposes… Horror films often aim to evoke viewers’ nightmares, fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown. Plots within the horror genre often involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or personage into the everyday world.”

Wikipedia horror film definition

To elicit: To call forth, draw out, or provoke.

To evoke: To call forth or up.

I want you to keep in mind that fear IS a real entity. It is NOT just a feeling. The bible attributes fear to an actual real-life living spirit, but as Christians, we hold to the promise of 2 Timothy 1:7, “7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” So, as Christians, why do we try to evoke and elicit a spirit of fear into our lives by watching these horror films? Matthew 6:22-23, “22 The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!” If you continuously fill your eyes with darkness and fear, will that not cause your whole body to be dark? And if your whole body is dark, how can you be the Temple of the Living God?

Effectual Fervent Prayers

We hear stories of men and women in the Bible, praying and seeing results. Elijah prayed effectual fervent prayers, and the heavens did not rain. Moses prayed, and God had mercy on the Children of Israel. David prayed and was a man after God’s own heart. The Bible is filled with extraordinary prayer warriors. We hear testimonies of men and women like Kathryn Kuhlman, Derek Prince, Smith Wigglesworth; all these men and women have incredible testimonies of seeing miraculous miracles taking place after they prayed. We hear these stories, but do we see these results in our time? Does God still answer prayers?

Why do we no longer see the results that the early Church saw? Or the results of testimonies like Kathryn Kuhlman, Derek Prince, or Smith Wigglesworth? Why aren’t our prayers being answered like Jesus promised? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he brings a powerful message explaining the key to “Effectual Fervent Prayers” of a righteous man.

Effectual Fervent Prayers

17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.

James 5:17-18

Answered prayers aren’t just for the past. They are for now. God answers the effectual fervent prayers of His children. He answers faith filled prayers.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 17:19-20

5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6 And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

Luke 17:5-6

Make Your Election and Calling Sure

We often ask the question, “Do you know Jesus?” when in actuality, we should be asking, “Does Jesus know you?” Just because you’ve heard of someone or you’ve read about them, so you feel you know them, this doesn’t mean you can just enter their home or even just walk right up to them and speak to them. So, when it’s eternity, will Jesus know who you are? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the importance of Jesus knowing us.

God’s Concern For The Lost

“10 And the LORD said, ‘You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?’” ~ Jonah 4:10-11

Jonah was a prophet sent by the LORD to warn the great city of Nineveh that their time to repent was here, for judgment would come in 40 days. But Jonah ran from his call because he wanted to see God’s judgment and fierce wrath upon the wicked. We have each been called by God, just as Jonah was, and just as Jonah ran from his call, so do some of us. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he explains our greatest call in life in our latest message, “God’s Concern For The Lost.”

What Is Faith? Pt. 3: Faith In Action

Faith without works is useless. But what does that mean? It is by faith that you are saved, so why do we need works? Doesn’t that defeat the point of being saved by faith? Join Rev. Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the meaning of James’ statement, So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead in our latest message, What Is Faith? Pt. 3: Faith In Action.

Luke 10:36-37
James 1:22-24
James 2:14-26
James 5:13-18
Hebrews 9:14

What Is Faith?

Faith In Action

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1:5-8

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

James 1:22-24

14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

James 2:14-17

What Is Faith? Pt. 2: A Faith Worth Finding

Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8) When Jesus comes back, will He find the type of faith He is looking for? More importantly, do we know what type of faith Jesus is referring to? The Church has become dormant, we no longer see miracles or healings. Why is that? Do we lack the faith Jesus is referring to? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he goes into great detail about the faith Jesus is looking for in the second part, A Faith Worth Finding, of our three-part series, What Is Faith?

Luke 18:8
Matthew 24:3
Matthew 24:10a
Matthew 24:12-13
2 Timothy 1:12a

What Is Faith?

A Faith Worth Finding

16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. 18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because He has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

John 3:16-18

22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. 25 Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

John 5:22-25

What Is Faith? Pt. 1: PUSH

Without faith, no one can please God, but what is faith? Is there a definition of faith? What does it mean to have faith? In today’s Church, faith seems to be lacking greatly. We don’t see the miracles promised to us in the Bible, yet Jesus said all we needed was the faith of a Mustard Seed, and we could move mountains. So why aren’t there more miracles? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he shares the first message, PUSH, of this three-part message series seeking to reveal the answer to the question, What Is Faith?

Luke 18:8
Hebrews 11:1-3 KJV
Romans 12:3b
Romans 10:17
Galatians 3:2–6
Mark 5:25-34
Luke 18:1-8

What Is Faith?

The Definition of Faith

1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Hebrews 11:1-3

Faith of a Mustard Seed

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 17:19-21

Promised Miracles in The Bible

The lack of faith is the reason we no longer see miracles. Faith is the root of our growth in Christ.

16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recove

Mark 16:16-18

12 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

John 14:12-14

7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9 And when He had said these things, as they were looking on, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight.

Acts 1:7-9

5 Does He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

Galatians 3:5-6

Demons Flee When We Worship

When we worship, the Spirit of the LORD enters in, and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom. Jesus didn’t abandon us here to be alone.

Demons Flee When We Worship

The Holy Spirit of The LORD

3 Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel (His people).

Psalms 22:3

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

2 Corinthians 3:17

The LORD dwells in the praises of His people. So when we worship the LORD comes down to meet us and dwells in our worship. And where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom and demons must flee.

The Power of Worship

31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, God listens to him.

John 9:31

1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:1-2

Jesus didn’t abandon us, He sent His Spirit. So that when we worship, we might enter into His presence and overcome all that comes against us.
