Would a loving God allow his children to go through times of difficulty? It is because we get to know him more in the midst of trials and persecution. And persecution will get much worse when the Antichrist appears. Yet the Bible says we are more than conquerors. Who is the Antichrist? When is he coming? And how do I overcome? The answer is - you can't. But Jesus has. If he is in you and you trust in Him, you will overcome. Are you an overcomer?

The most important ability we have is to have faith in God. But faith that is not tested is only immature faith. Our faith must be tested - this is the only way that faith will grow. Has your faith been tested lately? Is your faith growing through the tests? Tests must come. "But when the son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8) SCRIPTURE: Mark 4:35-41, James 1:1-8, Hebrews 12:1-13

There was an earthquake when Jesus died. There was an earthquake when he rose. And there will be an earthquake when he returns. God is now shaking our present world, our culture, and our individual lives. He is doing this to remove those things that can be shaken, and to focus our attention on the immovable kingdom of God. Are you being shaken? How has this experience made you seek the one and only unshakable kingdom?

Rehab lived in Jericho. She was a prostitute that continually suffered abuse. But when Rehab met the two spies that were sent from Israel, she believed in God, was delivered, and became one of the ancestors of Jesus Christ. Today, many women and men deal with memories of past abuse. These past experiences have become hindrances to a life of freedom and joy. But God wants us to be free from our past. There is healing available today through the love and redemption found in Jesus. Shame can be abolished, and we can find love and freedom!

When was the last time you made a plan for your life? Did God cooperate with your plans? The sovereignty of God means that he is all powerful, in absolute control, and that he knows best. As Paul found in Acts 16, God often leads us in directions that are totally different than what we think. Are you convinced that God is in control and you are not? are you cooperating with his sovereignty?

John went up into heaven. He saw the glory of God, and the throne of him who lives forever. When you are in the Spirit with God, you will experience a part of the glory of God. When you see Jesus, you will never be the same. A deeper revelation of Jesus and the experience of being in his presence of God will change your life forever. Do you want this?

John went up to heaven. And he told us what he saw -- one seated on a throne. The cross has opened heaven to us. Jesus says to us, "Come up here." When we come up, we will see the glory of God. God wants us to experience this glory and bring it to earth. Have you experienced heaven?

Jesus said we will have tribulation (John 16:33). The suffering and persecution of Christians has existed in every generation. So how should we prepare for suffering in our time? We must trust in God. We must pray and not lose heart. We must be seeking and asking and knocking -- praying for God's kingdom to come to our earth. Will you get discouraged? If you never stop praying, you will never give up.

A rapid overview of the entire book of Revelation in an hour.

Why are some people closer to God? And why do some Christians fall away? Closeness to God comes from thirsting for God. The church in Laodicea had left their love relationship with God and become lukewarm. But Jesus says, "If anyone hears my voice and opens the door..." Pride pulls us away from God's presence. Seeking God will allow him to draw us closer. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." (James 4:8)

The church in Philadelphia was a loving church. Jesus told this church that he holds the key of David. What is the key of David? The key of David is a gift of spiritual enlightenment -- a personal revelation of the love of God. This key gives access to the throne of God through seeing and understanding the person of Jesus. With this key, your relationship with God will be transformed. God gives you this key!
