James MacDonald: Walk in the Word Audio

Broken strongholds will battle to be rebuilt, but failure is not inevitable or permanent. Like Jacob, you need to know how to fight back even when you slip back. Review the questions to ask when you’ve gone wrong, remove anything that supports your stronghold, remind yourself of the reality of who God is, and review your identity and calling in the Lord. This message is filled with practical, personal, and visual ways to renew your mind so you can keep on thinking—and choosing—differently.

You hate the cycle sin-confess-repeat. You want to break free and revive your joy in following Christ. You need to repent and experience its impact on your mind, emotions, and will before real confession can take place. Discover the difference between worldly sorrow and godly repentance, the five marks of genuine repentance, and why repentance is not a place every Christian should visit—it’s where we need to continually live.

If you want to stand up under the weight of the world and experience strength that only God offers: listen up! Dive into Acts 16 and learn from Paul how to be strong in the Lord, even when your circumstances are hard. If you’re struggling with strength, it’s time to throw aside all non-essentials and get back to God’s call on your life. Because when you experience God’s strength over your own, you’ll never want to go back.

In the midst of your daily battles, it may feel like God is distant, unaware of what is happening in your life. In this message, James MacDonald reminds us of the amazing promise in Scripture: That God is always watching, and He will give you the strength to endure.

In the heat of a trial, it can be difficult to believe that God is watching over us. But God`s Word reminds us that He sees everything and is lovingly aware of the things that go on in the lives of His children.

God is looking for people to give strength to, and He wants to give it to you. But have you noticed that some Christians are stronger than others? What separates victorious Christians from defeated ones isn’t miracle, but method. Scripture shows us that when we surrender certain rights for a greater cause, strength rushes onto us. So dive into Acts and learn how to do more of what builds strength and less of what drains it.

When we let our sins become strongholds, patterns of resistance against God, it takes a lot to break them down. God will do it, but the longer we wait to surrender, the harder it will be. Let`s learn from the story of Jacob, so we don`t repeat his mistakes.

God wants to - and can - destroy your strongholds. The demolition begins when consequences become crises. Satan condemns and immobilizes with generalities, but God convicts with specifics. When the crisis drives you to get alone with God, He contends with you personally. Discover His gentleness and patience as He marks you forever spiritually, just as He did with Jacob.

Maybe you think you can deal with the strongholds of sin in your life on your own. But when you see them get passed down to your kids and grandkids, you might get scared enough to finally change. No stronghold is too much for God; let`s break them down now before it`s too late.

Spiritual strongholds in your life can get started in any number of ways. But no matter how they get started, they are strengthened through our own behavior. In this message, we`ll see that we reap what we sow, unless we take the steps to destroy the strongholds of our own making.

Life really begins when you realize you are here for God. Yet so often we play a comparison game between ourselves and people who “have it better.” Christ doesn’t call us to one-up other people; He calls us to maximize our capacity to serve Him. Some people have a lot. Some have a little. But everyone has something. Join Pastor James as he unpacks the Parable of the Talents and discover the joy that comes from multiplying your service to the King.
