Worship Leader GRACE Balint playing Battle Hymn of the Republic Why do we keep   freaking out  in difficult situations instead of listening to the powerful Holy  Spirit inside us? Why don't we grab our Bible like it's the fiercely powerful Sword of the Spirit that God says it is (Hebrews 4:12)? I don't know why we seem to be quick to believe the devil's lies when Jesus has told us,  "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6). Here's a few of the countless weapons of our warfare: Exodus 14:14                                                  Deuteronomy 3:22                                              Joshua 1:9 Joshua 23:9-10 Nehemiah 4:20 Psalm 23:4 Psalm 46:1-2 Isaiah 41:9-14 Isaiah 43:1-3 Matthew 6:25-33 John 8:44...

Worship Leader GRACE BALINT sings "Time of My Life"-- lyrics and music by Judy Rogers We won't know who we are until we know who God is. He is the Almighty God. No one created God. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). He always was, always is and always will be. "I Am the Alpha and Omega, "says the Lord God, "who is, and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1:8).   He is the Creator of all things. God created every one of us in our mother's womb (Psalm 139:13-14), with a sovereign purpose! His "eyes saw [our] unformed body; and all the days ordained for [us] were written in His Book [of Life] before one of them came to be" (v.16).  He has prepared the way for us. "He himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else...and marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they [we] would seek Him and perhaps re...

Worship Leader GRACE BALINT sings Matt Redman's "Mercy" in a rehearsal setting.  :) Women (and men, too, of course!) who follow Jesus live a supernatural life on earth because we each have the Holy Spirit of God living in us. It's the same Holy Spirit power that raised Jesus from the dead!   To glorify God and enjoy Him we must "walk by faith and not by sight"  (2 Corinthians 5:7) , because we can't see God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. But we do see the effects of their presence in our lives and in the world. Oh, yes!!! But it is spiritual, supernatural.  The Apostle Paul wrote, "I pray the eyes of your heart may be opened ....so that you may know the hope to which He has called you...and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead..." (Ephesians 1:18-20). By faith we believe He loves us...unconditionally! Oh, how He loves us! "See what great l...

Worship Leader GRACE BALINT sings "There Is Power" The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds...we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."  2 Corinthians 10:4-5 If we haven't come to the place where we've prayerfully asked God to help us set   personal lifestyle boundaries then we're going to be overwhelmed most of the time.  In other words, do we pray daily asking God what He wants us to do with our time, talent, and treasures? Or are we constantly busy and  caught up with the worldly way of living by going into debt and addicted to the social media frenzy trying to impress people we don't even like???? Wazzup with that? Worldliness. Materialism. Idolatry. Unbelief. We would find peace if we lived according to God's Way: "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed  by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to  test and approv...
