Praise is not a response to victory — it’s how victory is released.
From 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat shows us that when the battle looked impossible, Judah sought the Lord and placed praise before the fight.
When praise went first, God fought the battle. The enemy was defeated, and Judah walked into victory and provision they didn’t earn by strength.
When praise begins, the battle becomes the Lord’s!
Throughout Scripture, God protected the Seed—the promised line that would bring salvation.Each time God highlighted someone, Satan tried to destroy them, thinking the Seed was there. But God’s plan prevailed.The cross—meant for destruction—became Satan’s defeat. Jesus paid the full price and delivered humanity.Now the Seed lives in us. What God preserved through generations, He has entrusted to His Church.This is how the Kingdom advances.And this is our responsibility as the family of God!
God never calls us to stay comfortable—He calls us to expand. “Enlarge the place of your tent… do not hold back.” (Isaiah 54:2)We are not called to survive - we are called to overcome.We are not limited by what we see - God is our source.If God is stretching you, it’s because increase is coming.When others pull back, we move forward in faith. When resources look small, God multiplies.Don’t settle. Don’t shrink. Don’t hold back. God has more in store!
Apostle Theo Wolmarans reminds us that the birth of Jesus was announced by God through Scripture and creation. The wise men recognized the meaning of Christmas through the star, traveled far, and came to worship the newborn King.At the first Christmas, people responded to Jesus in three ways:1. Herod responded with fear and rejection2. The religious leaders responded with indifference3. The wise men responded with joy, sacrifice, and worshipChristmas ultimately asks each of us the same question: How will we respond to the baby born in the manger?
The Kingdom of God works by covenant, not coincidence.Throughout Scripture we see the same pattern:God speaks → God blesses → God waits for a response.The Blessing is not luck—it’s covenant power that empowers us to produce when we act on God’s Word.Faith isn’t just believing; faith speaks, obeys, and moves.The Kingdom Life is a daily choice to be a DOER of the Word, not just a hearer.When faith responds, the Heavenly Father backs it!
The call to share the Gospel isn’t seasonal or situational—it’s constant. We are built for endurance - strengthened by grace to stand, speak, and keep going even when it’s uncomfortable.In season and out of season, we’re called to preach, love, and serve.The harvest is ready. The opportunities are everywhere. God’s Word is fire and truth that sets people free. Our job is faithfulness—His grace does the rest.Let’s walk bold, serve with willing hearts, and see every conversation as a divine appointment!
Your walk with God is meant to be an adventure—don’t let distractions or frustrations steal that joy.When He’s the center of your attention, you’ll know you’ve truly spent time in His presence.What a mighty move of the Holy Spirit we had this weekend as Prophet Ed Traut spoke the Word of the Lord.
Philippians 4:6-7:Don’t be anxious. Pray. Give thanks. Let God’s peace guard your heart.Worry loses its power when we replace it with God’s promises.When we focus on God instead of the problem:✨ Peace replaces pressure✨ Confidence replaces concern✨ Strength replaces fearWe don’t walk as victims of worry.We walk as warriors of faith—bold, unshakable, and more than conquerors in Jesus’ name!
In a world full of stress and constant noise, many people are searching for peace. Scripture teaches us something powerful:Peace isn’t the absence of problems—peace is the presence of Jesus.2 Thessalonians 3:16 gives us three foundational truths about peace:1️⃣ Peace has a SOURCE — “The Lord of peace Himself”2️⃣ Peace is a GIFT — He gives it3️⃣ Peace is AVAILABLE — at all times and in every wayTrue peace is found in Jesus— the Prince of Peace. He offers peace with God for salvation, and the peace of God for daily living.And according to His Word, that peace is available to you… at all times, in every way!
“Where two or three are gathered in My name, I AM there.”- Matthew 18:20
The Holy Spirit led every moment this weekend - bringing freedom, stirring faith, and releasing refreshing.
Just as the Scripture says: “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
See you next weekend, CFC Family. We love you!
When drought hit the land, God provided for Elijah through unlikely sources — first through ravens, then through a poor widow with almost nothing left.Her willingness to give, even when it made no sense, became the key that unlocked supernatural supply.The same principle is true today:Fear tells us to hold back. Faith tells us to trust God with what we have. And when we do, we position ourselves to see His power at work.No drought, recession, or difficulty can stop God from being God. When we choose faith over fear, we step into divine provision!
Jesus didn’t just call us servants — He called us friends and chosen ones to bear lasting fruit. His heart is for the lost — the weary, scattered, and broken.God is calling each of us to share His love, tell our story, and reach the world with the Good News.We’ve been empowered by the Holy Spirit to be witnesses. This isn’t optional — it’s our mission, our privilege, and our purpose!
When Jesus entered the Most Holy Place, He offered His own blood - securing our salvation forever.
After completing His mission, He sat down at the right hand of the Father, declaring, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” (Matthew 28:18).
When God raised Jesus, He also raised us with Him and seated us together in heavenly places.
That means we share in His authority. The same power that raised Christ now works in us.
When we speak God’s Word, we are declaring the verdict of heaven’s Supreme Court. Angels move, demons scatter, and God’s will is enforced on earth!
This weekend’s message was a powerful teaching on Who Jesus Is — revealing deep truths about His divinity, His victory, and what that means for us today.
When Jesus died on the cross, His spirit descended into Hades — fulfilling prophecy and conquering the power of sin, death, and Satan himself.
Just as the priest in the Old Testament waved the first sheaf before God as a sign of the coming harvest, Jesus became that sheaf — the first to rise, opening the way for us to be accepted and made righteous before God.
Now, because of His resurrection, we are united with Him — complete, righteous, and filled with His life.
As 1 John 4:17 declares, “As He is, so are we in this world.”
“Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain.” — Zechariah 10:1In Scripture, rain represents the Holy Spirit. God promised in Acts 2:17 to pour out His Spirit in the last days—but notice, He still calls us to ask for it.Just like Daniel prayed for the fulfillment of prophecy, the church must pray for the latter rain—the final great outpouring that prepares the harvest.When God pours out His Spirit, His glory fills the house, lives are changed, and souls are drawn to Jesus!
Gideon started out hiding in fear, calling himself the least in Israel. But God deliberately chose him—not because of his strength, but to show His own power.
When Gideon stopped focusing on his weaknesses and started believing what God said, everything changed. He began to see himself as God saw him: a winner with God on his side.
By faith, Gideon declared victory before the battle even began—and the Lord caused the enemy to turn on itself.
God doesn’t choose us because of what we bring. He chooses us so His strength can be revealed through us. When we believe His Word, we can boldly declare, “The Lord has given us victory!”
When God revealed Himself to Moses, He said: “I AM THAT I AM” (Exod. 3:14).
Centuries later, Jesus declared “I AM” (John 18:5–6), and His very word carried such power that His captors fell to the ground.
The same God who delivered Israel is the same Christ who delivers us today.
God doesn’t send us in our own strength—He sends us in His Name.
Whenever we feel weak, unqualified, or overwhelmed, remember: “I AM is with you.”
In the book of Esther, we see Mordecai urging Esther to step into her calling: “Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14).
Esther had to decide: remain silent and safe, or risk everything to stand for God’s people. She chose obedience, even saying, “If I perish, I perish.”
The enemy still tries to silence God’s people and stop the spread of the Gospel. But just like Esther, we’ve been placed exactly where we are, at this exact time, for God’s purpose.
Our obedience opens the door for God to turn the enemy’s plans into victory.
We are not here by accident. God has a plan, and He wants to work through us to bring life and hope to others!
When faced with death, Daniel turned to prayer, and God gave him wisdom no one else had.
Even in a pagan kingdom, Daniel’s integrity and devotion set him apart—so much so that three different kings promoted him.
Daniel’s strength wasn’t in his position, but in his worship.
He prayed daily, refused to compromise, and trusted God in the lions’ den. Because of this, God preserved him, promoted him, and made him a witness to rulers of the world.
His life reminds us that worshippers walk in wisdom and shine with God’s light in the darkest times!
Christ is the foundation of the Church, the One who gives authority, equips us with gifts, and calls us to make disciples.Our mission is reconciliation—bringing others back to God through Jesus.As stewards, we’re called to be equipped and then to equip others.Discipleship isn’t endless study, it’s growth into maturity so we can build up the Body of Christ and multiply the Kingdom.Thank you Ap Allan Bagg for sharing a teaching with us that reminded us that our success is not measured by what we accomplish in life, but by the accomplishments of those we equip!
