Striking the Colors // While in Quarantine (Part 7)
Pastor Rikhard shared a message about keeping your faith up. Notes: Matthew 8:8-9 The roman centurions faith in the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit was the greatest in all of Israel – today your faith in His omnipresence will be rewarded! Striking the Colors is a military term which means to lower your flag in surrender. Striking the colors—meaning lowering the flag that signifies a ship's or garrison's allegiance—is a universally recognized indication of surrender, particularly for ships at sea. Striking the colors meaning LOWERING your flag in surrender to an enemy. We, as Christians many times feel like we are at sea, a raging sea with waves and winds around us and with enemies all around us. The devil may be attacking you in one way today or another way tomorrow. One thing is sure – Everything close to Jesus receives attack. If you are not being attacked, tempted, afflicted in some way or the other, that should be an alarm for you. Why am I not on the enemies most wanted list? The more we operate upon instruction from the Holy Spirit, the higher we go on the devils most wanted list and the more bounty they have on their head if they are “taken down”. This is why we as Christians need to always keep them up in prayer! The devil wants us to give up. The purpose of all attacks on us is for us to strike the colors – to lower our flag in surrender. II Corinthians 11:21-33 Paul was afflicted, attacked, tempted, surrounded, beat down, struck down, but he NEVER let down his flag. That was why Paul could say he had fought the good fight, he had finished the race and KEPT THE FAITH. OUR FLAG is our Faith in Jesus Christ – this is what we are identified by and this is what the devil wants to take/destroy. The only reason for attacks, temptations and afflictions are for us to surrender and give up our faith. It is ALL about our faith. Our faith is our connection with Jesus Christ. Without Faith we cannot please or see Jesus. The devil CANNOT enter our ship if we do not lower our FLAG first. Being under attack doesn’t mean you have surrendered – it is a sign that you haven’t surrendered. The three ways the enemy tries to force us to lower our flag: 1. He tries through adversity. This can be sickness, long term or short term. It can be a family member passing away, it can be severe hardship, sudden mishaps, accidents, losing our job, divorce or other life altering circumstances – through this, THE DEVIL WANTS US TO SURRENDER OUR FLAG IN SUBMISSION TO AN OVERWHELMING ENEMY. 2. He tries through enticement. I am talking about temptations, moral compromise, falling into sin, letting the flesh take control of our life – through this, THE DEVIL WANTS US TO WILLINGLY TRADE OUR FLAG FOR TEMPORARY PLEASURE. GENESIS 25. 3. He tries through enmity. This is when we harbor bitterness towards God, we feel distant from God, and even disrespect him or have anger towards Him – through this, THE DEVIL WANTS US TO THROW OUR FLAG AWAY, BELIEVING IT CAN DO NOTHING FOR US. We cannot always control what we go through, but we can control how we go through it.

Scary Peace // While in Quarantine (Part 6)
Zack, during these perilous times, shares a three key points on peace during uncertain times, incline your ears to this God inspired message. Notes: “They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” Mark 4:36-41 NIV 1. Know God has promised all of us an “other side” - God has given you a promise on dry ground, don’t forget it when you get we - Gods statement is his promise, you will get to the other side. - When Jesus is on your boat, you can sleep 2. You can’t stop the storm until your able to sleep in it - You have to have Holy Spirit in you, not Jesus around you - Understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 - You can only stop a storm you’re sleeping in - What peter didn’t understand about Jesus on the boat, he did in jail 3. Speak to the storm - Great faith speaks to the storm about god, little faith speaks to god about the storm - What’s in you has to be greater then what’s in the world Stay connected with Zack Parkhotyuk Instagram https://www.instagram.com/zackparkhotyuk/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/zackparkhotyuk/ Invite Zack to Speak http://www.hungrygen.com/invite

Planted, Not Buried // While in Quarantine (Part 5)
Pastor Vlad continues the sermon series "While in Quarantine". He speaks on the importance of having the right perspective during a season of trials. *If you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior for the first time, please go to www.hungrygen.com/vip Notes: Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. John 12:24 Jesus is the Seed: - Seed is small - Planted by the Father - Falls into the ground - Seed dies - Produces a harvest John 12:25-26 What looks like a burial is actually planting. 1. Trust in God’s plan when it feels like this is part of the devil’s plot. Pain can paralyze your perspective. Put your trust in the farmer, not in your feelings. Fear will show you a funeral; Faith will show you a forest. Fear relies on feelings; Faith relies on the Farmer. 2. Prophetic insight gives a positive outlook. Prophecy helps me to see the future (destiny); Pessimism lets me see the funeral (death). 3. Follow the Comforter when all comforts fail. Comfort brings happiness; The Comforter brings joy. People who are addicted to comfort don’t follow the Comforter. The Comforter doesn’t keep us in the comfort; The Comforter doesn’t leave us on the cross. Holy Spirit doesn’t lead us to the cross; he leads us through the cross. The Cross is the symbol of our faith; The empty grave is the foundation of our faith. The Cross dealt with sin; The empty tomb dealt with death. When He died, so did my sin. When He rose, so did my hope. Master - Model - Mentor It might be Friday in your life, but Sunday is coming!

Faith Over Fear // While in Quarantine (Part 4)
Pastor Ilya gave an encouraging message on how to practically have faith in seasons of fear and uncertainty. - How you respond to fear will either establish or destroy you! - Fear will lead you to disobedience - Unchecked fear will lead you to make critical mistakes. 1. 4 Ways to combat fear and build your faith A. Seek God through prayer and fasting - "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” Matt 7:7 - “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matt 21:22 B. Go to Church - Elijah went to the mountain of the Lord - “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Prov 27:17 - “not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another;” Heb. 10:25 C. Remembers God's promises and past victories - What you focus on will determine what you will be fill with! - Elijah - saw many prophets killed, God showed him 7000 prophets protected. D. Worship God 2. Faith will bring supernatural victory - They got spoils of war without fighting a single battle - King Soul’s lost his kingdom forever vs Jehoshaphat saw peace and quiet for the rest of his day.

Survival Kit // While in Quarantine (Part 3)
Pastor Vlad continues the sermon series "While in Quarantine". He speaks on the art of survival in difficult times and how to process all that life throws at you. *If you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior for the first time, please go to https://www.hungrygen.com/gotsaved Notes: Suffering is experienced by sinner, saint, and Savior. Satan used sin to bring suffering. God used suffering to bring salvation. 1. There are reasons to fear, but there is a greater reason not to. Acts 27:23-24 2. If you lose the ship, you will not drown. When our resources fail, our Source is faithful. Acts 28:10 They also honored us in many ways; and when we departed, they provided such things as were necessary. Acts 28:11 After three months we sailed in an Alexandrian ship whose figurehead was the Twin Brothers, which had wintered at the island. God’s provision is not only in abundance but also in providing for necessities. 3. If this storm didn’t affect you, show unusual kindness to those whom this storm has affected. Acts 28:2 4. When you can’t control what you are feeling, control you feeding. Acts 27:33-37 Spiritually nourish your soul with taking bread (Scripture reading) and giving thanks (prayer). 5. Learn to swim where you used to sail. Acts 27:43-44 Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe - Mark Twain Tomorrow isn’t promised, peace today is - Rich Wilkerson Worry doesn’t empty tomorrow of its problems, it empties today of its strength. Hold on by pieces means count your blessings instead of your problems. Focus on what you have left not on what you have lost. Hold on by pieces means develop new routines to uphold old rituals.

While in Quarantine // While in Quarantine (Part 2)
Pastor Vlad preached a compelling message about how no matter what we face God is able, but if not, He is still faithful. Notes: Daniel 3:17-18 Quarantine is a state, period, or place of isolation in which people or animals that have arrived from elsewhere or been exposed to infectious or contagious disease are placed. 1. GOD IS ABLE TO DELIVER US “Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,” 1 Corinthians 1:9-10 2. DELAYED DELIVERANCE SHOULDN’T DERAIL OUR DEVOTION “But If Not” faith. Faith is a bridge over troubled waters but “But If Not” faith is the path through them. Sometimes God delivers you from fiery furnace; other times He makes you fireproof. “Faith doesn’t deny a problem’s existence. It denies a problem a place of influence.” - Bill Johnson 3. WHILE IN THE QUARANTINE A. Don’t be alone. B. Get loosed, not bound. C. Don’t just sit, walk in the midst of fire. D. Jesus is with you. E. God will show His glory through your story.

All I Wanted was Love | John Ramirez
Tune in as John Ramirez shares his powerful testimony on how he grew up deep in witchcraft and demonic spiritual warfare and how God completely changed his life inside out and upside down. Notes: The anointing of God is not for sale. If you’re not hungry for God. Some Christians are only Christians by name by not by power. You can’t cast something out that you’ve been sleeping with. From a far you look fruitful, but up close you’re powerless. John 3:16 We’re all looking for love, but God knows what you need. We Christians make permanent decisions and temporary situations. Churches don’t don’t teach spiritual warfare, but when I went to a Satanic Church, the first ting they taught was demonic spiritual warfare. The devil understood that if he could fragment the family, he had the upper hand. Hell is a real place, it has an address. God works with people who are a work in progress. People lay on tombs of dead men and women of God who had anointing, and think they will take the anointing.. yet all they’ll take is a demon. Many people come to church and cheat on God, compromise, come late, and are powerless.. and they call themselves Christians. I hate religion, I love people. Religion is straight from Hell. Let’s be real, we must wake up. Hell is the absence of Jesus Christ Heaven is the presence of God. Some people will never go to Heaven, because God will not be mocked. Not because God isn’t merciful— but because you will never turn. When you make a commitment to God, you’ll be compelled to never go back. God invested in you, He wants a good return. You prepare for the Coronavirus and don’t even prepare for the Coming of Christ Stay connected with John Ramirez Instagram https://www.instagram.com/johnramirezministries/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/JohnRMinistries

God Will Make a Way // While in Quarantine (Part 1)
Pastor Vlad shared a very powerful sermon from our Sunday evening service, your life will be blessed because of it. Scripture: Genesis 14:13-14 1. If God brought you to it, He will bring you through it. 2. God did not bring them to drown them but to drown the enemy. 3. Red Sea will not drown you but cleanse you. 4. If God doesn’t give you a boat (like disciples), fish (like Jonah), power to walk on it (like Jesus), strength to swim through it (like Paul), he will make a way where there is no way. 5. If you fight fear, God will fight for you.

From Grind to Grace // Embrace Grace (Part 5)
Pastor Vlad closes our Embrace Grace Series with a much needed topic, "from Grind to Grace" where #nodaysoff are a things of the past, living in rest is the now, it's God's way. Notes: 1. Rest Is A Person! In Genesis, God finished the work of creation, we were invited into His rest In Gospel, Jesus finished the work of salvation, we are invited into His rest 2. Rest Is A Principle! Come to Me = I will give you rest Mt.11:28 // Person Learn from Me = you will find rest Mt.11:29-30 // Principle Moving from grind to grace: 1. Your day begins with good night’s sleep. 2. Start your morning with God, not with work. 3. Live unhurried life. Hurry kills happy. 4. Keeping up with Kardashians will keep you out of grace. 5. Take a day off. Grind = #nodaysoff. Grace = takes a day off Sabbath Killers: (By Mark Driscoll) 1. A poor work ethic. 2. Religious rules. 3. Observing a sabbath day without a sabbath heart. 4. A pharaoh-phone. 5. Resting from work instead of resting for your work. 6. Stimulants instead of sabbath.

Take Jesus Home // Embrace Grace (Part 4)
Zack continued the sermon series, "Embrace Grace" he spoke on how we are all born short and in order to grow we must keep trusting Jesus for true life transformation. 1. TRYING (when you try to reach God on your abilities) A. We are all born short. B. We can’t change. C. Don’t join the “crowd” in your attempt to reach Christ. 2. TRUSTING (climb on the tree) A. Religion is you trying to see God. Gospel is trusting Jesus. B. Trust what Jesus did, instead of trying to do better. C. Jesus called him a Zacchaeus (which means in original language, “pure, innocent”), people called him a sinner. 3. TRANSFORMATION (when you bring Jesus home with you) A. Don’t leave JESUS where you met him. B. Don’t focus on changing, focus on hosting Christ. C. “Christian life is not changed life, it’s an exchanged life.” Watch Man Née Stay connected with Zack Instagram https://www.instagram.com/zackparkhotyuk/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ZackParkhotyuk Invite Zack to speak http://www.hungrygen.com/invite

Relationship of the Holy Spirit // Embrace Grace (Part 3)
Pastor Vlad continued #EmbraceGrace series with powerful message about how the cross of the Jesus is the foundation of the Pentecost of the Holy Spirit. This message will glorify Jesus and draw you closer to the Holy Spirit. Sermon Notes: The Spirit came when it was dark but the Holy Spirit moved after the Light came (Genesis 1:2-3; John 8:12; John 1:1). My relationship to Holy Spirit might be based on crisis. Holy Spirit’s relationship with me is based on Christ. Dove came out of the ark, Holy Spirit comes after the redemptive work of the cross (Genesis 8:11). Dove is mentioned 3 times in the story of Noah First time - no rest (Old Testament) Second time - olive leaf (New Testament) Third time - never came back (church age) “There are nine main feathers on the left and right wings of the dove. He pointed out that there are also nine gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:7-10) and nine fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23). There are also five main tail feathers on a dove, which can represent the fivefold ministry gifts of apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists and teachers (Eph. 4:11). The tail feathers of a dove are like the rudder of a ship—they assist in balance and direction in flight, just as the fivefold ministry gifts in the church bring balance to the body of Christ.” Leonard Ravenhill Dove descends on the Lamb (Matthew 3:16) Pentecost after the Cross (John 7:39). Spirit is given when Christ is glorified. Sin made me a tomb. Savior made me a temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). The cross didn’t just prepare a place for me in heaven, it prepared me to be a place for the Holy Spirit. Fellowship of the Spirit follows grace of Jesus and love of God. Holy Spirit’s relationship with you rests on the grace of Jesus. It’s communion of the Holy Spirit, not communion with the Holy Spirit. Fellowship is his gift to us as grace is Jesus’ gift to us. Communion be with you all, it’s for everyone not just the elite as the grace is. For more information: http://www.hungrygen.com http://www.facebook.com/hungrygen http://www.instagram.com/hungrygen

From Rags to Righteousness // Embrace Grace (Part 2)
Pastor Vlad hits the nail on the head this week when we dive into the grace of God and how he views us. Notes: In Egypt, he was a lamb to get them saved. In wilderness, he was serpent to get them sanctified. He paid for my sin as a lamb. He became my sin as a serpent. He redeemed me as a lamb. He made me righteous as a serpent. 2 Corinthians 5:21 Jesus didn’t become sin by sinning, so you don’t become righteous by right deeds. I become righteous the same way Jesus became sin! Human righteousness is filthy rags “the cloths a woman uses during her menstrual period” Isaiah 64:6 Promises for the Righteous: — Ephesians 6:14 Blessed are the hungry for it (Matthew 5:6) Things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33) Bold as lion (Proverbs 28:1) God delivers (Psalms 34:19) Gets up (Proverbs 24:16) Not shaken (Psalms 112:6) Not forsaken (Psalms 37:25) Reign in life (Romans 5:17) God looks at me based on what I’m wearing not on what I’ve done! Jacob wore brothers clothes and received blessing by lying. voice was different, but clothes were same! Change does not happen by works but by looking!

Fight or Flight // Seasons (Part 6)
Pastor Ilya spoke a powerful message on the power of flight or fight, and how life is a battle field and only serious the minded have a chance of victory. Notes: Life does not give participation trophies. Anything worth having must be fought for. The only thing that is free is cheese in the mouse trap. We don't treasure things that we get free regardless of how expensive they are. My jeans story There are 2 types of struggles Struggle as a slave in bondage Struggle as soldier for promise land The difference between the two is one requires mental focus and determination and the other is mentally idol. Four Stages of Fighting 1. God is fighting for us: In this stage all you need is Desire and obedience to his plan. 2. Fighting to stay alive: In this stage God is developing trust in Him and His process In this place you are: Out of the familiar and in the unknown. Taken a step of faith but facing serious challenges Not in bondage anymore but not it the promise land yet. Left old bad friends but didn’t get good new friends yet. Started business with big great plans for the future but its not going according to the plan Like gold is refined in the fire so you are purified as you go through trials and test Trust God that started a good work in you He will bring it to completion This stage is of your life is not to kill and bury you in this desert. This stage is where the most dreams die because of negativity and complaining. 3. Fighting for the promise land In this stage God wants to reveal your identity and authority This season God works on your mindset In these season you beginning to see small victories and light at the end of the tunnel. By the time you enter this stage it’s easy to get to be tired and exhausted and settle for only a portion of your dream. Keep on pushing forward. 4. Fighting in the promise land In this stage you enter into dominion It’s a place where you go from blessed to being a blessing You go from being saved to bringing salvation to others Where you go from business owner to raising up others in business (teaching, mentoring, writing books, producing a content) Israel goes into the promise land and chooses to settle - their children fight for the rest of their existence You are not saved from fighting, you were saved for fighting.

Joshua Generation // Seasons (Part 5)
Pastor Vlad closes out the sermon series 'Seasons' with an encouraging message about the Joshua Generation, listen in and find out exactly who God has called you to be. Notes: 1. God sees POTENTIAL where we feel PITY! God will use those who look like victims to be victors. 2. We must CUT our flesh before CONQUERING our enemy. Salvation gets me out of world. Sanctification gets the world out of me. 3. We will expend TERRITORY not just grow the ARMY. We will not only grow our church, we will expend the kingdom. 4. We will carry God’s presence on our shoulders. As donkey carried Jesus, priests carried the ark - we will carry the glory of God. 5. We will move from DELIVERANCE to DOMINION. Whatever God hasn’t removed - He has empowered us to resist! 6. We will build MEMORIALS to God’s miracles, not monuments to our mistakes. When teacher is silent, remember you’re taking a test. When your feelings fail, faith must grow.

Holy Spirit, The Helper
This week Ivan takes us on a journey to discovering who the Holy Spirit is, He's our helper, our friend in a time of need and the one who points us to Jesus. Notes: John14:18 John 16:7 Where is Jesus? - He is currently at the right hand of the father The Holy Spirit is the promise of my Father - Joel 2:28 Jesus said: “It’s better that I go away The children of Israel seen incredible miracles but not changed on the inside. Jesus in the Flesh could not live inside of his disciples. Holy Spirit can. Jesus is in heaven, Holy Spirit is on earth... The Holy Spirit is - a person - has a will - has emotions - you can talk to Him - He can be grieved - He can be quenched The Holy Spirit Reveals Jesus. convicts of sin and righteousness. Holy Spirit guides you into all truth. Holy Spirit tells you of things to come. To walk in the Holy Spirit, you need to talk to the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit doesn’t talk about himself, He points you to Jesus... Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to help you in your business, marriage, relationship, ministry, schooling and in every area? Prayer: - Draw my heart O Holy Spirit that I may love only what is Holy - Act in me O Holy Spirit that my works too may be Holy - Breathe in me O Holy Spirit that my thoughts may all be Holy - Strengthen me O Holy Spirit to defend all that is Holy - Guard me O Holy Spirit that I may always be Holy - Guide me O Holy Spirit that at all times I may do what is right Your sight.

Different Season = Different Spirit // Seasons (Part 4)
This sunday Pastor Vlad taught us that a different season requires a different spirit or rather a different attitude. Listen in and be blessed by what God has in store for you. Notes: Numbers 14:24 1. Make up your mind...battles are not bad, bondage is: 10 spies saw problems, 2 spies saw promises (Num.13:27-29) Man saw treasure where others saw trash (Mt.13:44) Sons must become soldiers (2 Tim.2:1-2) 2. Get the Bible in you...success is connected to Scripture. If the word is in you, “you will make your way prosperous” If the word is not in you “you will wait for your way will make you prosperous.” You will always depend on outside if you don’t have the word inside. 3. Cut complaining… Wars are won by worship, not whining. - Complaining doesn’t solve problems, it prolongs them. (Jesus/Israel) - Circumcision cut productive organ. Complaining kills creativity. 4. Don’t be smart, be wise...smart people save first, wise people give first. - In wilderness, they (Israel) started with giving money to worship a cow. - In promise land, they gave their city to worship the Creator. - Wise people give first because giving is worship. (Wise men) - “Honor God with possessions” Prov.3:9-10. 5. Don’t live on yesterday’s success...don’t dwell on your defeats - “Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.” Bill Gates - "Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games” Babe Ruth - There was no formula for victory! You will need God in small battles! 6. Steward your spoil...breakthrough can’t become a blessing without a budget. - You can’t have blessing if you don’t put God first. - You can’t have blessing if you don’t have breakthrough. - They can’t raise your pay if you don’t improve your performance - You can’t have blessing if you don’t budget your breakthrough.

Shift Of Seasons // Seasons (Part 3)
Pastor Vlad continues the sermon series, "Seasons". In this message he unpacks the reality that no matter the changes of seasons in your life, God is the only constant thing. Notes: 1. God removes Moses. “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. Joshua 1:2 A. God changes seasons by removing people. Some people are like the scaffolding; they are not the house, but you cannot build the house without them. "Some people are like scaffolding; they have to be removed” TD Jakes B. When God removes someone, it’s time to MOVE. And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward Genesis 13:14 C. When best people leave, best days are still ahead of you. Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. John 16:7 When you no longer have someone to depend on because now others depend on you. D. God gives you a sign to leave Laban, so that He can change your life. Now Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has acquired all this wealth.” And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and indeed it was not favorable toward him as before. Then the Lord said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your family, and I will be with you.” Genesis 31:1-3 2. God replaces manna. Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year. Joshua 5:12 A. God promised milk but provided manna. Manna was provision. Milk was promise. Living water John 4:10 - provision Rivers of living water John 7:38 - overflow I shall not lack Psalm 23:1 - provision My cup runs over Psalm 23:5 - overflow I came to give life and more abundant John 10:10 B. When provision stops, promise starts. And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” 1 Kings 17:7-9 God’s provision comes with God’s protection. God’s provision is not permanent. C. God didn’t remove manna without replacing it with something better. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them. Luke 9:16-17

Four Seasons // Seasons (Part 2)
This week Pastor Vlad teaches us on the importance of perspective in every season. Just like Joseph, there are four distinct seasons in our lives, each season plays a role in character building. Notes: The Story of Joseph Season 1 - Tunic of Many Colors (Genesis 37:3) Season 2 - Garment of a Slave (Genesis 39:16) Season 3 - Clothing of a Prisoner (Genesis 41:14) Season 4 - Garments of Fine Linen (Genesis 41:42) 1. Person without a vision will always be a slave to their reality. “If you aim for impossible you get maximum. If you aim for maximum you get minimum. If you aim for minimum you get nothing.” Non-dreams hate on dreamers but then end up working for them. Having a dream: A. Gives room for the Holy Spirit B. Elevates you above your present C. Fuels your life with purpose 2. God does not change when the seasons do. (Genesis 39:2-3) They took your coat but they can’t take your anointing. Stay attached to God, not to your season. Don’t judge someone based on their season. Because God is with you: A. Your success doesn’t depend on position but on person. B. Flee temptation, don’t flirt with trouble. C. Work on your character more than reputation. Enemy can ruin your reputation but only you can ruin your character. Fleeing temptation shifts the season, flirting with sin delays your destiny. 3. Serve the dreams of others when your dreams seem dead. Your pain is the an excuse to stop serving. Serving: A. Activates the gifts of the Holy Spirit B. Before you can serve palace, serve in prison C. Even if people forget you, God will reward you Life is like tennis, those who serve well, seldom lose. 4. Your dream will improve destiny of others. God’s dream: A. Breaks cycle of repeated failure B. Elevates your family C. Feeds those in your sphere of influence Breakthrough breaks the cycle Breakthrough helps your family Breakthrough feeds those around you

A Book That Reads Us // Digging Wells (Part 8)
Pastor Martin continues the sermon series, Digging Wells. On our last sermon of the year he dives into reading your word, maintaining consistency and developing habits. Notes: Joshua 1:8 What makes the Bible different from any other book in the world? * It’s unity. It was written in a span of 1600 years through 40 authors, 3 continents and 3 languages and still managed to have a uniformity throughout all its accounts. Jesus Christ and the Word are ONE, the Word take the place of the unseen Christ 1. Whatever dominates your mind will dominate your life. The extent to which we think the thoughts of God to that same extent do we have the power of God A study show that when we are in the scripture at least 4 times a week * Feeling lonely drops 30% * Anger Issues drops 32% * Bitterness in relationships in marriage, kids and so on drops 40% * Alcoholism drops 57% * Feeling Spiritually stagnant drops 60% * Viewing Pornography drops 61% * Sharing Your Faith Jumps 200% * Discipling others jumps 230% 2. To know God is to know his Word God does nothing without his Word (Genesis 1:3) 3. The Word of God will change your life It will by its very nature change you (Joshua 1:8) * Don’t just commit scripture to memory but make it an integral part of your life Unless you live in the Word you miss the entire point. The more you read, the more you will understand yourself and this God who created you. Read it systematically, read it attentively, read it repeatedly, read it regularly, read it slowly. READ IT - your life depends on knowing it Six ways you can take the word of God into your life? 1. Read It 2. Listen to it 3. Memorize it 4. Meditate on It 5. Speak the word 6. Obey it It’s okay to visit many books, but live in the Bible – Charles Spurgeon Prayer: - I agree with Gods word and I disagree with any condition, any thoughts, any circumstances with anything contrary to Gods Word - Your Word is integrity itself, steadfast, sure, eternal… I trust my whole life to its provision - Your Word is final authority settling all questions and troubles - I trust my life to its provision

It's Just A Shadow // Seasons (Part 1)
This Christmas Pastor Vlad speaks on the true reason for the season. How Jesus is the true Emmanuel, God with us. Sermon Notes: Matthew 1:23 Mystery of the Stable: - Jesus was born in the stable. That’s where lambs are born. - Place of birth of God’s Son. - Unworthy of divine royalty – dirty, dark, defiled. - Son revealed through it. - Doesn’t draw attention to itself. - Became known because Jesus was there. Christmas is a MIRACLES. No Miracles = No Christmas. Anyone who was about connected to Jesus, miracles started to them... Christmas is about EMMANUEL God is with us verses we are with God Joseph - LORD WAS WITH HIM - Success followed David - LORD WAS WITH HIM - Victories followed Jesus - GOD IS WITH YOU When you are with God, you know His PRESENCE, when God is with you, you know His POWER Presence of problems is not proof that God is not with you. Presence of storm is not indication of absence of Christ Presence of fire is not sign that Jesus’s is gone Psalm 23 Don’t fear the shadow of death. Don’t stay in the valley...keep on walking. He will bring you to the other side. Learn to eat in the presence of your enemies. Anoint your head with oil of gladness. Go from not enough to more than enough. Mercy + Goodness follow me Follow me

More Than a Life Jacket // Embrace Grace (Part 1)
Pastor Vlad begins our new sermon series Embrace Grace, outlining the true reason for the season. In this message he dives into how being saved is more than wearing a life jacket, it’s being in the ark and how salvation is more than just a rescue, it’s a refuge. Matthew 1:21 Being saved is more than wearing a life jacket. It’s being in the ark. Salvation is more than just a rescue, it’s a refuge. Three Arks: - Ark of Noah - saved from wrath of God - Ark of Moses - saved from work of the enemy - Ark of God - saved from wages of sin 1. ONE ARK (Gen.6:14) Speaks of Grace - Ark was shelter from the flood. God will PASSOVER when He sees the blood. (Ex.12:13) - Ark was covered with asphalt (means to “cover” “make an atonement”). (Gen.6:14) - Noah was righteous yet he needed the ark to be saved from the flood. Having the ark is not enough to avoid the flood, you must be inside the ark. 2. ONE DOOR (Gen.6:16) Speaks of Jesus. - Many paths led to the ark but only one door into the ark. (John 10:9-16). - All roads lead to God but only one road leads to heaven, through Jesus Christ. - Door to the ark wasn’t open forever. (Gen.7:16; Matt.25:10) 3. ONE WINDOW (Gen.6:16) Speaks of the Bible. - Ark had only one window through which air and light came. The door is me. The window is for the dove. - When you open your heart, Jesus brings salvation. When you open your Bible, Holy Spirit brings transformation. - Someone who engages the Bible 4 or more times a week is: 228% more likely to share faith with others. 407% more likely to memorize scripture. 59% less likely to view pornography. 30% less likely to struggle with loneliness - When you’re in the ark, you see the world through the window. 4. ONE FAMILY (Gen.7:1) Speaks of Church. - Everyone in the ark is family. (John 1:12) - Don’t leave your family to the flood. 5. ONE ASSIGNMENT (Gen.8:15-19) - Speaks of Community.

Gift of Tongues // Digging Wells (Part 7)
Pastor Ilya Parkhotyuk speaks on the Gift of Tounges and its benefits. How the gift of tongues enhances, builds, heals, gives and empowers. Notes: We received the Holy Spirit at salvation. (John 20:22) We release the Holy Spirit at baptism. (Act 2:4) We received Holy Spirit to be saved but we release him to be empowered. Benefits of speaking in tongues: 1. Enhances our prayer life 2. It builds your faith. (Jude 1:20) 3. Divine health and healing to your body. (1 Corinthians 14:4) 4. Gives you power of fear and anxiety. (2 Timothy 1:6–7) 5. Gives you boldness. (Acts 1:8) How to receive this gift? By asking for it! (Luke 11:13) Laying on of hands! (Acts 19:6) We pray in tongues at will “I will” When we speak in tongues it’s void of human meaning but we have faith that the Holy Spirit adds heavenly meaning to it. Hinderance of receiving tongues: 1. Overthinking 2. Pride 3. Fear 4. Inaction

Wells Without Water // Digging Wells (Part 6)
Pastor Vlad continues the sermon series, "Digging Wells" he dives deep into the ins and outs of honor. Being separate from the world, serving the Lord and how to submit to authority. Notes: 1 Samuel 8:3 Cold parents produced corrupt kids. Praying parents produced prophetic kid. Parents, what you do in moderation, your kids will do in excess! If you had good parents you have a head start. If you don’t have good example you don’t have an excuse. Parents decided your history but your mentors decide your destiny. “If you are born poor its not your mistake but if you die poor its your mistake” Bill Gates. I. Separate from the World [PURITY FROM POLLUTION OF THE WORLD] A. Samuel transformed temple but first he refused to conform to the temple. When you refuse to conform, God will transform. B. Not conforming to the culture will cost you something but getting transformed by culture will cost you everything. II. Serve the Lord [PURSUIT OF PRESENCE OF GOD] A. Don’t settle in success that separation invited. B. Stay fascinated with God when you get familiar with the things of God. III. Submit to Authority [POSITIONED FOR PROPHETIC DESTINY] A. Fear of God causes us to honor flawed authority Dishonor reveals a lot more about you then the person you are opposing. Dishonor doesn’t help them, it hurts you. B. Key is not great authority but great attitude. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” Ephesians 6:1-2 Obedience (action) - because its right thing to do. Honor (attitude) - because there is reward. C. Flawed priest activated Samuel to become a fire prophet Honor positions you for what God called you because God hides instructions in those you might struggle to honor.

Becoming by Beholding // Digging Wells (Part 5)
Pastor Slavik continues the sermon series, “Digging Wells” and speaks on focusing our attention on God and allowing Him to posses you as you worship Him fully. 2 King 2:9-10 1. You have to cross certain things before God can speak to your life 2. It’s not hard to get double portion anointing, its hard to walk in double portion. 3. The real battle is for attention When we try to look for something new, we can miss revelation that’s right in front of us. It’s difficult to ask for a double portion. Not because the prophet will die, but rather the weight and responsibility. With more anointing, comes more responsibility. If the enemy gets attention, he changes our vision. If the enemy gets the vision, he changes the desires. If the enemy gets the desires, he changes our worship. If the enemy gets your worship, he changes what possesses you. You begin to posses what you worship. Paul asked Timothy to never forget the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in order to no be shaken. As a painter paints a portrait, how they look and paint, look and paint.. you can’t imitate Christ if there’s not a continual looking at him. Not a one time event but always going back to Him. If you remain in my word, Jesus says, I will remain in you. Praying and Fasting is how you remain in Him. God didn’t call us to debate with the devil, but rather to cast the enemy out. Genesis 3 The enemy arrests your desires when he gets your attention Psalm 116:8 1 Corinthians 3:18 When you look at Christ, you can come like Christ Hebrews 11:26 You can change the way you think when you see Him. If the enemy changes what you see, he gets your attention. “We are not called to survive but to influence our culture” “Hard thing is not to catch but to carry the anointing” “We become like Jesus by beholding Jesus” Stay connected with Pastor Slavik Instagram https://www.instagram.com/g4tslavik Facebook https://www.facebook.com/g4tministry

Fast Forward // Digging Wells (Part 4)
Pastor Vlad continues on to part four of the Digging Wells Sermon Series, "Fast Forward". He touches on the three "S" of fasting and how it restores hunger, you become separated for the Holy Spirit and you become prepared for your called work. Notes Acts 13:2-4 Fasting is not hunger strike Fasting is not diet Fasting is not starvation Early christians fasted two days of the week, Wednesday and Friday. Fasting and prayer was linked together. FASTING IS SERVING THE LORD A. Fasting restores my hunger If you are waiting on God, do what waiters do: serve. (Luke 12:37-38). B. Fasting control my appetites. Fasting is preparation for temptation. C. Fasting increases sensitivity to Holy Spirit. Fasting is not making God talk but make me hear FASTING IS ABOUT SEPARATED TO THE LORD A. Fasting is being separated to the Holy Spirit. B. A vessel that honors the Holy Spirit will be a vessel that the Holy Spirit will honor (1 Samuel 2:30) Calling is discovered (gold, silver, wood, clay) (2 Timothy 2:20-21) Consecration is decided (honor or dishonored) C. You are enslaved by what you enjoy. What you do in your free time will either set you free or enslave you. You are what you enjoy It’s not about formula of what to separate from but focus on what to separate to. FASTING AS SENDING BY THE LORD A. Paul was sent by Spirit but first he was separated to the Spirit. B. There is your current work and your called work. C. Your called work comes with confirmation and commission. #hungrygen #pastorvlad #diggingwells

From Hardship to Harvest // Digging Wells (Part 3)
Pastor Ilya continues the sermon series "digging wells". He speaks on how God will redeem all that you have lost. Just you wait, He is your kinsman redeemer. Notes: Ruth 1 Land of Israel was a promise land. Naomi leaves her promise land because there is a famine Don’t abandon your dream of business, career, family, marriage, healing, quest for freedom because you are in a difficult moment now. Don’t leave your church because its going through the famine. What do you do in famine? Pray Fast Seek God’s face He will heal the land to produce a harvest again When we experience loss in our life we get disappointed. Disappointment will turn into bitterness if we dwell on it. Don’t meditate on what God has not done in your life. Don’t stop living because something has died in your life. Release God from the the wrong doing. He is not responsible. He has no sickness, death, setback, poverty to give. All good and perfect gifts come from Him. Don’t stay in the land of negativity, in the land where things died. Go to the land of the promise. God is visiting his people again. He will visit you! If God has visited your neighbor, be happy for them because that means God is in the neighborhood and He will visit you next! Go back to God, to His presents, go back to your promise. Go back to Bethlehem, the house of bread. Don’t build memorials to what God hasn’t done, build monuments to what He has done. Don’t build doctrines to justify your disappointment. Don’t focus on what you lost, work with what you have left. What you have left is Ruth! Don’t abandon Ruth because you lost your husband and 2 sons. God will use your Ruth to restore you to greater glory than before. It was time for the harvest but they had nothing to harvest. Glean from others. Don’t starve to death just because you don’t have any harvest in your spiritual life, ministry, family, business. Listen to testimonies of what God is doing in the life of others and glean faith to believe for a miracle for yourself. Sit at his feet. Like Martha minister to Jesus by sitting at his feet. Boaz will redeem your field. Intimacy will produce harvest in your life(in your ministry, in your fields.(career, business, family marriage). The best days are ahead of you! Don’t give up hope! Jesus is the great Redeemer. He will redeem everything about you. Say with Job “My Redeemer lives!” #hungrygen #diggingwells #holyspirit

Digging for Dominion // Digging Wells (Part 2)
Pastor Vlad continues the series “Digging Wells” and today he ventures into the decisions we must make as christians to pray until the Holy Spirit shows up. Making that stand and not backing down. Notes Acts 12:5-7 Don’t stop praying for Peter just because you buried James Don’t build your doctrine on disappointment Devil is a criminal. You are the police. You have the authority and power to cast out demons. Some chains fall off silently, others violently. When we pray - Holy Spirit shows up. Deliverance is a means to a goal. Dominion is the goal. 76% of US in mates wind up back in jail, the same way may Christians go from deliverance to deliverance, instead of dominion. Getting out of Egypt is not the goal, possessing promise land is! In Egypt you get deliverance. In Promise Land you walk in dominion. In Egypt you are a slave. In Promise Land you are a soldier. Deliverance is an event but freedom is a journey. How to move from deliverance to dominion? 1. WAKE UP. 2. RISE UP in discipline! Demons are not the only thing we fight, flesh is defeated by discipline! Holy Spirit produces fruit of self-control 3. DRESS UP new attitude, confession and mindset. Put on armor of God not to fight but to stand in victory. Your issue is not your identity. Before circumstances change - your attitude has to. 4. GET OUT. Follow Holy Spirit out of toxic relationships, trigger points, bad places, and temptations. Find a house so that you don’t return to prison.

Ask of Me // George Davidiuk
Notes: ..And I will give you the nations for your inheritance!” Psalm 2 I asked God for 2 things: - Stadiums would one day be used for Evangelism Crusades! - Billy Graham would come and preach in those stadiums! James 4:2 “You do not have because you do not ask.” We must also ask for the right reasons! God’s promise: Gen 28:15 But what if I don’t what to ask, or how? Invite the Holy Spirit to pray through you! Romans 8:26 One more thing to ask. Pray that the Lord would send workers into the mission field. Matthew 9:37 We become the answer to our prayer! Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Go! – is an imperative; a command. Across the ocean Across the street Be faithful in the “little things”

Abandoned Well // Digging Wells (Part 1)
Pastor Vlad started a new series “Digging Wells” where he explores how the enemy uses the cares of life to plug our passion for the presence of God. Notes 1. Philippines stopped the wells by filling them with earth. Genesis 26:15 a. Wells without water are prisons. (Gen.37:24; Jer.38:6; Matt.21:13) When the heart stops hosting the presence, enemy turns it into a prison. b. Wells are where divine connections are made. (Gen.24, 29; Ex.2:16; John 4:4). Culture says “be a gold digger”; Christ says, “be a well digger”. World says, “build an empire”; word says, “build a well”. b. Enemy seeks to fill our well with earth so that our well will not water the earth. (Mark 4:19) Water is a gift from God, well is a gift to the world. Every believer received water but not everyone is releasing it. (John 4:13-14; 7:38-39) 2. Isaac dug again the wells of his father. Genesis 26:18; Rev.2:5 How to Dig Old Wells: a. Remember when you sought Gods face. Favor follows when His face is sought. b. Repent by turning your back on your sin and life. To seek His face we must turn our back on everything else. c. Repeat seek His face again. d. Reward will be His favor. Rev.2:7 Whatever you turn your back to in pursuit of His face, God will water. (Matt.6:33) 3. Herdsman fought Isaac over the wells he dug. Genesis 26:22 a. When rejected, build wells of water, not walls of offense. Many people will only like you when you are like them. Don’t lose water when you lose friends. Your enemies will get thirsty, your well will water them. (Zach.12:10) b. Arguments can dissolve if we give up our rights, pick up our responsibility and safeguard other people’s interests. Contract is protecting my rights, limiting my responsibility, and safeguarding my interests. Covenant is laying down my rights, picking up my responsibility, and safeguarding other person’s interest c. People who walk in favor must avoid fights for fairness. (Matt.18:21-35) Jesus gives a mirror to those without mercy. (John 8:1-11) Jesus is the only one who is does not need to be reminded of his past to be compassionate.

Life That Pleases God // Andrey Shapoval
Andrey Shapoval speaks on living a Life that Pleases God. When God HAS you, He can then start His ministry on earth. Notes: Scripture: Colossians 1:9-10; Luke 6:46 - When you seek to please God your ministry transitions to His ministry. When God has you, He will start His ministry on earth. There is difference between pleasing God and serving God: - Serving is doing something for God; pleasing God is God doing things through you - When you serve God, you sacrifice; when you please God, you are the sacrifice. It’s possible to serve God without pleasing Him. Pleasing Him has to do with obedience. King Saul brought sacrifice in attempt to serve God, yet at the same time He didn’t please Him. In kingdom life, you don’t have more than others, you will have less lack. As King, He takes responsibility for our life. Calling Jesus as Lord does not make Him Lord. 1. “Everyone who comes to Me” that speaks of prayer 🙏 If you come to Him and pray - it does not mean He is your Lord. The voice of God is the goal of prayer. 2. “And hears My Word” that speaks of being into the Word 📖 Hearing Gods word but not being available to God does not make Him our Lord. “I am not ready to preach but I am available to Holy Spirit” 3. “And does what My Word says” that speaks obeying the Word 📖 Obedience opens the heavens.

Heavenly Currency
Pastor Martin shares a word on how heaven has a currency and that currency is faith. He touches on how you can’t base your faith on the result of your prayer, but rather believing in what God has already said. Notes: Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" 1. God will change you before he changes your circumstances 2. Renewing your mind is a process 3. Holy Spirit will build with what you give him

Capacity of Faith
Pastor Vasily shares a word on the capacity of faith. He shares on how faith is bridging gap between heaven and earth. Just as doctors are the bridge between medicine and sick people — faith is the bridge between heavenly blessings and God’s children.

What Should I Do? // Towels & Titles (Part 6)
Pastor Vlad continues the sermon series "Towels & Titles" where he speaks a practical message on how to begin to walk in your assignment. Notes: Scripture: Acts 9:1-6 Tale of Two Saul’s: One Saul went to Ramah to catch David, another Saul went to Damascus to catch Christians. One Saul became naked, another Saul became blind. One Saul felt remorse, another Saul had repentance. One Saul stopped doing bad, another Saul start doing good. One Saul became apostate, another Saul became an apostle. Experience alone will not change you. An encounter is an invitation for transformation. WHO ARE YOU, LORD? A. Learn to ask WHO ARE YOU before you ask WHAT SHALL I DO. If you want to know your purpose, seek his presence. God hides your purpose in His presence. B. Stop decapitating Jesus’ head from the body. Judas kissed the face of Jesus but plunged a knife in the back. If I hurt others, I injure Jesus. LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? Purpose is discovered by people. Calling is discovered in community. Anointing operates by association. A. God will lead you to the right place before He will bring the right people. Instead of telling Saul what to do, Jesus told him where to go. God will guide you to the right place before he connects you with right people. B. If you are in the right place but have not met right people, PRAY. If you don’t know what to do, pray. C. Right people will cover your basics. Basics are vision, filled with the Spirit, water baptized, food, and sharing your faith. D. Right people will cover your blind spots. E. Right people will connect you to “apostles”

Potential > Position // Towels & Titles (Part 5)
Pastor Vlad continues the sermon series "Towels & Titles" where He speaks about how our value is not determined by our visibility, but rather God wants to use you, in-spite of where you currently find yourself. Notes: 1. Potential > position = Ok! Gifting > character = Not Ok! A. Your value is not determined by visibility. B. Title does not equal identity. C. God trusts those He tests. 2. Position does not restrict anointing, ego + laziness does. A. Anointing does not need a title to operate, it needs a problem. B. Pride will not let you succeed outside of your position. C. Don’t leave the church because you got famous on the streets. 3. Serving is not a Stepping Stone. A. We don’t promote a heart to become a mouth because it pumps blood good. B. We live to make Jesus famous, church does not exist to make us popular.

Full of It // Towels & Titles (Part 4)
Pastor Vlad continues the sermon seires "Towels & Titles" where He speaks about being Full of the Holy Spirit. Pastor used the example of Steven and how the devil succeed in killing him, but failed in leaking him. Notes: 1. Being FULL of the Spirit is not only for those in MINISTRY but also in MARKETPLACE. (Acts 6:3) Holy Spirit = Power + Wisdom + Faith (Genesis 41:38) Power will get you out of prison. Wisdom will open the key to the palace. Alternative to being filled with Spirit is being filled with self (stress, sin, and Satan) You have the Holy Spirit at salvation but being full of the Holy Spirit comes at surrender. You can’t have fire without fuel. If you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit, you have feed yourself on holy things. (Ephesians 5:18) 2. When you’re FULL of the Spirit your FACE changes. (Acts 6:15) Reputation is your photo, character is your face. Without the Holy Spirit we have to repair our reputation and change our character. You don’t change your character by working on it, working on your relationship and your character will change. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 We trust His substitutional death on the cross for our salvation but now we must yield to His substitutional life inside for our transformation. Character is fruit of the spirit not result of my efforts. It’s fruit, not works It’s fruit, not fruits It’s attitude, not action It grows, not given Its slow and sour before sweet It feeds others Don’t work on your issues, work on your intimacy. It’s not about suppressing the flesh, surrender to the Holy Spirit. 3. Holy Spirit FULLNESS impacts your FOCUS. (Acts 7:25) Being filled with the Spirit does not mean you SKIP hellish situations, it means you don’t SPILL in them. When I am filled with the Spirit, I am also sealed by the Holy Spirit (Eph.1:13) Focus on heaven when faced with hell Surrender to Savior not situation Respond to presence not react to people

Way Out of Burnout // Towels & Titles (Part 3)
Pastor Vlad continues the series "Towels & Titles". He goes deeper into the three core issues of burnout in ministry: 1. Presence 2. Boundries 3. Faithfulness Ministry problems are more spiritual than we realize. New seasons require new systems. Those faithful in small will be entrusted with more.

When Your Ministry is Dead // Towels & Titles (Part 1)
Pastor Vlad started a new series about serving and ministry. Sermon Notes: Mark 5:40 - 43 Without the Holy Spirit we have form without function, monuments without movement, and reservoir instead of a river You can’t bring revival if you are busy creating a revolution. We must seek Jesus if we want Holy Spirit 1. Before Jesus revived the dead, the living were renewed. 2. Jesus’ steps to the miracle are as important as His stops. Never get jealous of someone who gets by touch what you get with time. 3. Don’t be afraid to keep on walking with Jesus when things get worse. Voices will say, “Don’t trouble the Master”.

Passion for Presence // Andres Bisonni
Andres Bisonni shared about passion for the presence of God.

Partnership with God
Ilya brought a timely word, in where he spoke to the people about the provisions of God and how God not only makes a way but provides us tools to do our part.

Pitstops to the Palace // Towels & Titles (Part 2)
Liliya shared about the process of reaching our palace. Notes: We treat people the way feel about ourselves. The Pasture: - When you receive a dream – doesn’t mean that public is ready to hear it. - Your dream in cost you something and to the people who are connected to you. The Pit: - the pit s the place where end up because of someone’s decision, pit is where you are the victim. Potiphar’s House: - God prosper people who were connected to Joseph The Prison - Joseph doesn’t define his life by what happens to him – he defines himself by how he responds to his trials. The Palace - Palace is you are tested with your haters again. Are you going to feed them or you going to hurt them like they hurt you?

Signs of the Spirit // Andres Bisonni
Andres Bisonni shared at Holy Spirit Conference about the signs of the Holy Spirit.

Build the Life You Love
Brittany shared a powerful message about building a life that we love, using the example of building a house. Sermon Notes: 1. Salvation is like the sales contract. (John 14:1-4) 2. Deliverance is like digging out the foundation. You must dig through all the dirt of your life before you can lay the foundation! 3. God’s calling on your life is like the blueprints. You know what your house is supposed to look like, but other people can’t see it yet. 4. The final house represents living in your divine destiny!

Scarred for Life
Scarred For Life: Notes Is Jesus seemingly asleep in your boat? It is because He knows the outcome Not every storm you face is to destroy you – some storms makes you discover who you really are. Luke 10:30-37 He was on the roadside He couldn’t treat his own wounds The Samaritan poured OIL and WINE in his wounds The wine represents the Word of God The oil represents the Presence of God Time does not heal any wound – it only amplifies your current situation/mindset When God heals, why doesn’t He heal the scars? 1 Samuel 17:34-37 Your scars will testify for you It was David’s scars that put him in front of the giant The Bible is our Spiritual Fly Swatter It has dual purpose Speaking the Word of God – the Fly Swatter Reading the Word of God – Insect repellant The devil knows the Bible 1 Timothy 3:5 – The devil frequently uses Scripture to tempt us Knowing the Scripture better will strengthen our spiritual immune system The more your struggle violates your conscience and makes you feel unworthy to walk the path God has put down for you, the closer you are to your defining moment Don’t let your scars weigh you down – don’t be ashamed of your scars It wasn’t Jesus’ words that made Him our savior – it was His scars Don’t let temptation lead you away from your defining moment Follow The Speaker: https://www.instagram.com/rikhardhart/ https://www.facebook.com/rick.art.1238

Urgency for Souls
Ivan talked about the importance to evangelize because Jesus has commanded us to do so. We have the unlimited amount of cure for this dying world and Jesus is the answer. Sermon Notes: Mark 16:15-20 - Sad to say but this has become the reality of many in the American Church ,(God's Church). - They feel like this scripture doesn't apply to them. Like it only applies to special people, u know the ones born with a halo over their head. Think about it: If the early disciples did that, then the book of Acts would not be called the book of Acts but it would be called the book of Sitting. - The message of Jesus Christ would never have reached me or you. But the early disciples did go, they preached everywhere, the Lord did work with them and confirmed his word by signs following. Look at all the action words in Jesus's command. - "We owe the world an encounter with God" Bill Johnson Question burning in my Heart: - "Lord, why are not more of your disciples, believers, your children, your people, your messengers, not doing what you called and commanded them to do? 1. because we became comfortable, with their own lives. - we have houses, friends, families, friends, cars, clothes, jobs and all the necessities of life. - we love comfort. Felt like the Lord Say, " Sometimes it takes Pain to reach the Lost" John 3:16 When I gave my only begotten Son, It was painful. He had to leave the beauty of Heaven, streets of Gold, a place where there is not even a shadow of darkness. To step into a place filled with darkness. To be laughed at, rejected, mocked and whipped. Finally to die on a cross just to reach them. That took a lot of Pain. - Comfort has taken more believers out of God's will then drugs or alcohol. 2. Laziness, Busyness and the Pleasures of Life - because of being Lazy or Busy, we do not read or pray. Because we don't read and pray, we are not filled with Faith. Because we are not filled with faith, we are not going to step out on something that we don't believe in. Pleasures of Life Dull our spiritual senses if we are not careful to be watchful. 3. More concerned about Self, Image, Reputation - Become concerned with what people will think of us. - If self is on the throne, you will be more concerned about how you feel or what people think of you. If Jesus is on your throne you will be more concerned about what he feels and what He thinks of you. - you will be able to handle rejection because its not about you. - you will be able to do God's will whether your recognized or not, cause its not about you. self is the ultimate enemy. 4. Jesus became too familiar/common - Do you remember your first fire?, how zealous you were about and for Him. - we have gotten over our own salvation. can you remember the time before you gave your life to Christ, how lost you were and how you felt? - If Jesus and His Salvation is not alive in us, how can we share that with others. 5. Lost sight of Eternity - heaven and hell Video According to 2011 world birth and death estimated rates: 4 people are born every second, about 2 die every second. 250 births each minute, 105 people die each minute. 15,000 births each hour, 6,316 die each hour. 360,000 births per day, 151,600 die each day. 131.4 million births per year, 55.3 million die each year. Parable Desire, Vision, and Goal Desire: Is a force that motivates the heart. Most of the time we are lead by our Desires. It can dictate the course of your life. When you really, really want something. Vision: When you see it in your heart, especially you doing it. Allow/permit your Heart to see what is possible. (John G. Lake) Goal: Practical steps that you are going to take to get there. Stepping out once a week (like it or don’t like it, feel it or you don’t feel it) Many Ways to Evangelize Healing (pain) Prophetic (Jesus at the well) Your Testimony Good Deeds/Works

Cure for Insecurity // Single, Ready to Mingle (Part 4)
Pastor Vlad continued his series on Single Ready to Mingle and he went into a crucial part of how in every relationship knowing who we are in God is a vital part. He went into detail of how to cure insecurity. Sermon Notes: 75% of girls with low self-esteem reported engaging in negative activities like cutting, bullying, smoking, drinking, or disordered eating. This compares to 25% of girls with high self-esteem. Low self-esteem often presents in one of three patterns: (Source: Counseling and Mental Health Center at The University of Texas at Austin): Imposter Syndrome Rebellion Victimhood Insecurity often leads to eating problems, depression, social anxiety, codependency and even self-harm. Genesis 2:15-17 Insecurity is idolatry. “For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.” Jeremiah 2:13 Insecurity leads to insanity. Insecurity vs Identity: Insecurity is into titles, identity is into towels. Insecurity is into competing, identity is complete Insecurity focuses on weight, identity focuses on worth Insecurity looks in bathroom mirror, identity looks in the mirror in the word Insecurity is jealous, identity is joyful Insecurity is focused on issues, identity is focused on intimacy Insecurity is into self-pity, identity is into self-care Insecurity live out labels, identity live out of love Insecurity hides from God, identity hides in God Insecurity feels abandoned, identity walks as adopted Insecurity leads to idolatry, identity leads to inheritance 1. When you have a reason to feel insecure, you have a choice not to feed on insecurity. Your paradise has a parasite. Everyone’s does. It’s not the tree that made Adam feel shame, eating from it did that. Focusing - Feeding - Feeling 2. When you don’t eat from tree of life, you end up wearing fig leaves. Wealth, position, anointing, and good looks can’t cure insecurity…all these are leaves. Fig leaves can’t fix insecurity, feeding on the fruits can. Intimacy with Holy Spirit hurts insecurity. When you are aware of God - you lose attention to self. When you’re aware of self - you lost attention of God. Your body came out of dirt. You came out of God. Before you ask for what you need, thank God for what you have. 3. When you can’t remove the tree of knowledge, you must resist it. Forbidden tree has a voice. Devil will use your issue to question your identity. Devil will use your situation to doubt your revelation. Devil will use your condition to overthrow your position. Devil seeks to question in the dark what God revealed in the light. #PastorVlad #SingleReadyToMingle #Insecurity Stay connected with Pastor Vlad Instagram http://www.instagram.com/vladhungrygen Facebook http://www.facebook.com/vladhungrygen Twitter http://www.twitter.com/vladhungrygen Subscribe to his blog: http://www.hungrygen.com/blog Invite Pastor Vlad to speak http://www.hungrygen.com/invite
