Return to Your Father
Category: Audio Messages
This Battle Is Not Yours
This message was more like a cry and intercession. We are living days that are overwhelming and confusing, but at the same time amazing things are happening. We must keep our eyes upon the Lord and remember that He is looking for worshipers, those that will put their trust in Him only. For whatever was written in earlier times was …
This Is Not the End!
I have been thinking a lot about the recent changes and challenges we have been living under, and I realized that this is not the first time that mankind and this planet is going through a difficult time. We sometimes tend to focus on a limited amount of time, days, weeks, and maybe months, and then we forget that for …
The Church In The Old Testament
The Greek word translated for church in the New Testament is “Ekklesia”, and it actually means assembly, convocation, congregation, company. It can be easy to think of church as a word that came into use after the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2, when we usually think that the church started, but the Greek word was already in use hundreds …
Let God Bless What You Have
It is normal for a lot of us to compare ourselves with others, and in the process, we tend to think that some have it better than us, that we do not have enough. We sometimes think that because we have made mistakes, we have been forsaken or have become less in the eyes of God. God is not limited …
Preserve the Unity of The Spirit
“Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:1–3). When we talk about unity or …
Made Perfect in Oneness
The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me (John 17:22–23). What does it …
“That They May Be One” – John 17:22-23
“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me” (John 17:22–23). These two verses …
Are we keeping traditions of men?
“Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come” (1 Corinthians 10:11). Every time I read my bible I think of this verse and I look for lessons that I can learn from the examples that we have in the scriptures. “Then some Pharisees …
The Spring of Living Water
“I will say, ‘My dear children of Israel, keep in mind the road you took when you were carried off. Mark off in your minds the landmarks. Make a mental note of telltale signs marking the way back. Return, my dear children of Israel. Return to these cities of yours” (Jeremiah 31:21, NET). Jeremiah was warning the people before they …
Do Not Quench the Holy Spirit – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-21
Often when we go through a time of change or tests, we can get discouraged and tend to think that God has abandoned us. When we read the scriptures, we see that God always had His men and women exactly where He wanted them. The same thing happens with us, we may see ourselves surrounded by difficult circumstances and think …
Do Not Grieve the Holy Spirit – Ephesians 4:29-32
When we want to get to know someone and are looking to get a deeper relationship, we must find ways that will draw that person into our lives. The same thing happens with the Holy Spirit, there are things that we do that the scriptures teach us that grieve the Holy Spirit. In this passage from Ephesians we get a …
It Is Better for You That I Go – John 16:7
What was it like to be told by the man you had dedicated your life to that he was leaving you behind? The disciples left everything; their families, livelihoods, their whole lives to serving him. Have you ever dedicated yourself to something on that level? To be so torn, knowing you should trust him because he is the Son of …
We Put on Love
Today I discuss Gods concern for each one of us. As individuals we all experience things in unique ways. It is important to put on a mind of love when relating with each other. Colossians 3:12 “So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”

Why Are We Here and Why Are We Together?
Today I bring a communion message about love and oneness. We come humbly asking our Father to wash us and equip us to walk in this new day. Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.”

He Is Looking For A Change Of Heart
Today I teach about the law of Jesus. Some people think it is legalistic, but today we explore it as a beneficial way of relating. Deuteronomy 5:16 “Honor your father and mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you on the land which the Lord your God gives you.”

Turn and Strengthen Your Brother
Today I bring a communion message about strengthening our brothers. When Jesus washed the disciples’ feet, he was loving them and giving them an example of what they would need to do for each other. John 13:34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”

When we Walk in the Faith of Abraham
Today I relate a walk of faith to the life of Abraham. Abraham faced many challenges throughout his life, but he faithfully pressed on in his walk with God. We too face many challenges, will we waiver in disbelief or will we continue to trust in God’s plan for us? Romans 4:20 “yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God.”

Salvation is More Than Forgiveness of Sin
Today I convey Gods desire for a relationship through salvation. Galatians 4:4-5 “But when the time was right, God sent his Son, and a woman gave birth to him. His Son obeyed the Law, so he could set us free from the Law, and we could become God’s children.” As children it is important for us to deepen our relationship with our Father.

Don’t Carry the Idols of the Past
Today I urge us to set our sights on God’s plan. Too often we find ourselves clinging to the past and making idols out of memories. We must let go of yesterday and trust God as He leads us forward. 1 Corinthians 13:9-10 “For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.”

What is Triggered by Our Prayers?
Today I talk about the importance of prayer. Whether we identify it as such or not, it is likely that what we are facing today is the result of prayers or lack of prayers. We often pray with a preconceived idea of what we think we need, but God’s answers do not always look the way we anticipate. Our prayers are effective even when we don’t experience the results we originally anticipated.

Why is Maturity Important?
Today I continue imploring us to seek the truth and grow in our walk with God. There are many lies that come to hold us back and divide us, but Christ has opened the door for us to grow together in oneness and love. Ephesians 4:15-16 “but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.”

Am I Open to Hear the Truth
Today I encourage you to ask yourself an important question. Am I open to hear the truth? In John 8:32 we read, “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Each one of us have a different perception of the Truth. Without being open to hear the truth in love we will miss out on the deep freedom that truth can bring.

We Have Been Included Through Christ
Today I entreat you to dig into the scriptures about God’s plan for inclusion. Sometimes we might think that for God to accept one He has to reject another, but He is unlimited! 2 Chronicles 6:14. “He said, ‘O Lord , the God of Israel, there is no god like You in heaven or on earth, keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart;'”

A Willingness to Hear and Obey
Today I reiterate how just having the word is not enough, we must hear and obey Gods word. What makes the distinction between hearing and not hearing? A willingness to do His will. John 7:17 “If anyone is willing to do Gods will, they will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.”

The Lesson of the Wilderness
Today I begin to explain the wilderness experience. God was with the Israelites the entire time, but it was a time of teaching His people. In everything we go through there is one thing God is trying to teach us – trust in Him and trust in His love for us. Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments”

Parable: Pray at all times (Luke 18:1)
Today I impart a new revelation of faith. Our personal relationship with the Lord will trigger effective prayer. We must have faith that God wants us to be persistent and work with Him in what He is doing through our prayers. Isaiah 62:6 “On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent.”

Atonement: Not Just Salvation, Complete Sanctification
Today I unfold key concepts about the Ten Days of Repentance and the Day of Atonement. These days are not about shame and regret, but rather an opportunity to realign with God’s perfect plan for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Parable: The Soil and The Stages of Discipleship
Today I bring a relatable perspective to the parable in Matthew 13:3. As humans, we are the soil. Although there is nothing wrong with the soil, there are outside influences which keep the soil from bearing fruit. As we grow in discipleship, our soil will become more fruitful.

Parable: We are All Managers
Today I teach about the parable in Luke 16:1-13. God’s grace is unending and He desires a relationship with us no matter how great our sins. If we know God’s grace, we are managers responsible to share it. Micah 7:18 “Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in unchanging love.”
