In the dream I was at work (I work in the military as a Soldier) and we had received a large treasure to guard at my office in the basement. Well for nights and weeks I would be tempted to take it because it would solve my very real financial issues. Well one night I broke down and took it all...

I make you wait at times for answers to your prayers to test your faith and to show you how much faith you currently possess in Me. A time of testing is coming where only the strong of faith will endure. By making you wait in prayer I desire to draw you to Myself to prepare you for the road ahead.

I was out exercising one day & I was seeking the Lord to disciple me. He showed me a road sign and as I walked past it the sun glared brilliantly off it. He then spoke to me as such: Bryan, did you notice the brilliance of the shine that bounced off that road sign? You were created in Me to...

I had a dream some time ago, pretty interesting I thought. In my dream there were buildings that reminded me of ancient Rome and Jerusalem, as well as America. The Phasael Tower (tallest tower of Herod's Temple complex) which stood right next to the Colosseum. The dream started with me in my...

Psalms 18:1 I love you, oh LORD, my strength! How does one cultivate intimacy with the Creator, the Redeemer, the Sustainer? It is really simple if we think about it. How does anyone cultivate intimacy with someone on earth? Spending time with them Talking with them Getting to know them Not...

Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. (Zech 4:6) This is a message to all generations! God is calling out to His children, stop trying to do it all yourselves! I have to shape you and make you in my Son's image! That takes time! Wait for me! Be strong and...

Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Acts 1:4-5 I want to emphasize the...

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came...

In 2 Chronicles 20 we have a tremendous story that I have never heard a message preached on (though I myself have brought a message from a "sister passage" of Exodus 14): I pray the Word of God is taught here in such a way that brings edification to the saints. 2 Chronicles 20:1-22 After...

John 15:12, (NIV) “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” How many times are we guilty of “getting even” with those in our fellowship? When they are the ones that we should “honor above ourselves”? (Romans 12:9-21) We should all pursue and promote love within the church...

2 Timothy 1:6-7 (NIV), "For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." We all know the qualities of fire. We know that fire is...

1 Corinthians 1:16-28, "26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things...

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit (quick, down, and dirty): Ok so I figure since I'm trying to become a minister in the Assemblies of God I should try to explain this in hopes of helping others receive. Feel free to comment on this, but if you disagree let's keep our discussion civil and...

1 Timothy 6:12, "Fight the good fight of faith." I preached on this not to long ago and feel led to give a brief summation here. Child of God, do not give in to that old lying devil any longer! Take up your armor EVERYDAY and stand strong in the Grace and Power of the Lords might! Ephesians...

Romans 5:8 (NLT), "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." Wow, God showed how much He loved you by sending Jesus to die for you while you were still in sin! He didn't wait for you to be good enough or to be holy enough, He loved you...
