3-7-10 - Steve Fish - Don't Resist; Persist!

From the Garden of Eden, the enemy’s mission has been to deceive us into believing that we are not everything God created us to be. After man realized his mistake, shame overtook them and they withdrew from the Father. Shame steals intimacy and identity. In the New Testament story of the woman caught in the very act of adultery, Jesus became the covering for this naked woman, just as the Father was to Adam and Eve in their nakedness. Rather than saying “shame on you”, the Father declared “SHAME OFF YOU!” We must not resist God’s assignments for us, but rather persist to obtain ALL He has for us, walking in Kingdom purpose, power and authority.We need not be ashamed, or apologize for who He has created us to be and to become.“Keep on seeking, keep on asking, and keep on knocking”, “…for He has not given us a spirit of timidity”. Don’t be modest! Dare to put an extravagant demand on what He so wants to give you based on His Promises! (56 min.)

7-11-10 - Steve Fish - Kindle Afresh the Fires of God

We have been created to overflow with the Spirit of God. The Greek word for “power” used in Acts 1:8 concerning what would happen after the Holy Spirit comes upon us is where we get the word “dynamite”. It literally means “power, strength, or capability”. Therefore, you could say that we are a Holy Spirit Explosion waiting to happen, bringing Heaven to Earth! When we pray in the Spirit, we are strengthened in the inner man, and are ever reaching new realms of intimacy never before achieved. The gift of tongues is designed to pop us back into the River when we are dry. These intimate Holy Spirit interludes make it possible for us to not have to figure out the Book without the Author! The natural, carnal mind has enmity with God, so praying in tongues gives us direct revelation to the treasures He has hidden in His Word for us! (47 min)

7-4-10 - Steve Fish - Groomed For Greatness

In the crawling stage, a baby sees so many things just beyond its reach that they aspire to attain. It gives the baby the incentive needed to push beyond the current limitations to obtain that which is just out of its grasp. As God’s little children, the more of the Kingdom we realize, the more of it we want. God loves us too much to allow us to remain where we are. The mysteries of His Word are hidden there for us, not from us. It is the Glory of God to conceal a matter, but it is our glory as priests and kings in His Kingdom to search out every matter. Wherever a void exists in our life, it is an invitation to seek more of Him. At times, as we progress from crawling to walking, the grooming process can be uncomfortable. But each step leads us closer to the greatness that awaits us, knowing we shall receive the Prize of the High calling which is in Christ Jesus. The prize: Higher places that take us deeper with the Father than ever before. (43 min)

6-27-10 - Steve Fish - Expand Your Prayer Muscles!

God has given us an awesome gift that enables us to strengthen ourselves in the Lord. Our prayer language is a private and secure form of direct communication with the Father. There is a prayer meeting going on inside of us all the time because the Trinity perpetually resides within us! The gift of being able to speak in tongues is a two-edged sword where WE speak, but the SPIRIT gives the utterance. As we yield to the prompting of the Holy Spirit within us, our natural mind is by-passed. God designed it that way because the natural mind is opposed to the things of the Spirit. When we seem to be at an impasse and don’t know how to pray, Holy Spirit intercedes for us in direct alignment with the Father’s will! This renders our natural mind unproductive and unfruitful. In other words, we are able to stop trying to figure out the problem on our own, thereby allowing Him to download the answer to us in our circumstances. Just one revelation from Him brings the breakthrough we need!(33 min)

6-20-10 - Steve Fish - Pay It Forward (67 min)

The gospel comes with a generational mandate. I encourage all fathers to stop hiding what God has done, big or small, and communicate a vision for greatness to the next generation. Doing so will make way in the spirit realm for their children to remember and walk according to the precepts and miracles God wants to release as an inheritance to them. Honoring our father and mother is the first commandment with a blessing attached to it – “that all may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.” Life & inheritance come through honor. That is why we must be alert to the enemy’s perverted attempts to steal this blessing from us. Since the spirit is eternal, what God has given to us doesn’t go to the grave, but is passed down to our offspring. “Fathers, train up your children in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.” Why? Because we have paid it forward to establish the blessing of our inheritance that God intended for our families!

6-13-10 - Mark Snider - God's Perpetual Creativity - Part 1

When God said, "Let there be Light", He never told it when to stop. Therefore, His Word is still creating today! Scientists are excited about things they thought were previously undetectable which are now being revealed by their fancy telescopes. However, according to scripture, His Word is still out there continuing to create! For ever since the creation of the world, His invisible nature and attributes, the very fingerprint of God have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made. Sunday was an exercise in daring to tap into God’s infinitely vast creativity that absolutely boggles the human mind! Even more amazing is that He has chosen us as a dwelling place to house this magnificent creativity. (74 min)

6-6-10 - Tom Dermott - The Impostor

Within each of us is an altar ego, a false identity, an impostor.Satan convinces us that our weaknesses will be exposed in the light, and therefore an understudy of ourselves would be more readily accepted. Ephesians 5 says that the things done in secret are shameful to even speak of, so naturally, the enemy would love to isolate us there in order that our sin or weakness is able to maintain control over us. Christ is inviting us into His Light where we have been delivered from shame - where the works of the enemy are exposed and destroyed! Satan ceaselessly lures us into the shadows away from our true identity in Christ by blinding us with subtle deceptions about our God-given destiny.The Impostor will never be able to fulfill the assignment the Lord has given to the real you. The Father has placed deep within each of us a desire for us to know Him and be known by Him. He longs for intimate relationship with you, not your impostor! “Awake… and Christ will give you light!” (38 min)

5-30-10 - Graham Cooke - Joyfully Vulnerable to God's Goodness

It is impossible to be separated from the One Who lives on the inside of us.Since the Lord said He would never leave us nor forsake us, we will always find Him there in the “secret” place of intimacy that He has chiseled out especially for each one of us.We will find Him when we seek Him with all our heart, and the enemy will never be able to penetrate or invade that place - that’s why it’s called “a secret place”.Being able to go to God all the time is such a pleasure, whether anything happens or not.Because He knows the plans He has for us - plans for good and not evil, to give us a future and a hope - He longs for that relational transaction with Him in every circumstance.As we learn to view all of life through the lens of His goodness and the vantage point of where we are seated with Christ in Heavenly places, our weaknesses will turn into joyful vulnerabilities, transforming our mindset from simple belief to being fully persuaded about the One in whom we have believed!

5-23-10 - Steve Fish - Demotion – Or - Promotion?

“The Spirit of the Lord God was upon Jesus" to release & announce that the prophesied new season for mankind had arrived! Jubilee came every 50 years, and was a time of restoration. Jesus established a much better covenant for ALL His children to live under ALWAYS! What seemed like demotion for Joseph, who’d been sold into slavery and landed in prison in Egypt, was really a promotion as God caused all things to prosper in his hand! God was preparing Him for the coming outpouring of His favor and grace, which would affect the entire land! Preparation and strategic connections for greater anointing comes in the place where you feel really fenced in. Be ready in advance for when “the King” calls you so you don’t have to do all your clean-up therapy before you are able to grab the opportunity. As in the Tale of Two Cities; “In the worst of times and in the best of times” we have access to His Extreme Favor! (33 min)

5-16-10 - Steve Fish - Favor of God

Part of the anointing that is upon us as His children is the ability to proclaim, declare and release the favor of God. We have been delivered from His wrath, and He is now moved with compassion for us! Lance Wallnau put it this way: “Favor is the attraction of God to you that releases the influence of God in you to release the work of God through you so that you can complete the assignment God is giving to you.” The Spirit of the Lord God is upon us for that very purpose in order that we may proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord’s favor. The “year of His favor” is now, and we must align ourselves with Him in order to be moved out of a place of mediocrity, allowing the incredible favor of the Father to chase us down and overtake us. Jesus did not die for anything less! (50 min)

5-9-10 - Steve Fish - Laugh Your Way To Destiny (42 min)

Mother’s Day has been set aside to honor mothers. God’s Word admonishes us to honor them always because blessing is released in the spirit realm as we do so. Mothers have played an amazing role in their children's lives throughout history. Paul recognizes the same sincere and unqualified faith in Timothy that his grandmother, Lois, and his mother, Eunice, possessed. Hannah lovingly sewed Samuel a new garment each year, praying his destiny into every stitch! God gave Sarah joy in her old age, ending her barrenness. She laughed because it was what she was pregnant with! Her laughter created the atmosphere for God’s seed of destiny to be planted within Isaac. Naturally, a woman rejoices as she brings forth a child. Each of us is “pregnant” with the destiny God placed within us. Spiritually, as we shout, it will bring it out! God has equally divided His characteristics among men and women, and He desires to see them both take their rightful place in the world, and in the Body of Christ.

5-2-10 - Steve Fish - God's Got A Better Garment For You!

The OT is usually preached focusing on sin without the Light of the work of the Cross.The ruler of this world no longer has a hook in you! You have been consecrated and set apart for an intended purpose, having been made holy by Him! Renew your mind to the NT truth that your old, un-renewed self was nailed to the Cross with Christ in order to put your sin nature to death.Having been buried with Christ in the waters of baptism, it is no longer you that live, but Christ that lives in you.Not only were you forgiven, but your sin nature was done away with COMPLETELY.The old man is DEAD,and you have been raised to walk in the newness of life by His Spirit within you. It is beneficial, therefore, for you to walk in who He made you to be by His FINISHED work at the Cross: “the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”.Then you will be able to prove the perfect and acceptable will of God.Throw off the old garment of things that so easily beset you, and "put on the garment of Christ".(53 min)

4-25-10 – Marci Fish – Repent> Release> Receive (Identity)> Revelation> Run

The Senior Leaders, and people of Convergence, were recently commissioned into kingship to lead out of this house. As prophets of hope, and in order to bring transformation around us, the church must first comprehend the moral revolution we are in to restore the “virgin spirit”. Morality simply means to “return to God’s way of doing things”. That is the true meaning of repentance. Through the finished work of Christ at the Cross, we have been granted the spirit of adoption, made heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, and fully consecrated to hear His voice. He desires that we repent of old mindsets that oppose the word of God, seeing things from His perspective, in order to receive the revelation of our true identity in Christ. As we release those to Him, we are then able to to run well the royal race He has set before us. (50 min)
