Understanding Covenant and Agreeing with God

God created us through covenant — or agreement — between the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Our relationship with Him is based on covenant, and we are created to agree with Him! It’s simple to receive from God: we just agree with His Word and “sign” that agreement by speaking His Word back to Him. “Father, You said . . .” and say His Word. We are also created to sow and then reap. The Father sowed His Son and He has been reaping a harvest of souls. He provides seed so we can sow! The supply from Him is a gift, and we simply receive it by agreeing with His covenant Word.

How to Pray & What It Will Do For Your Life

Effective prayer involves basic but crucial guidelines. Be in a quiet place where you can talk to God alone. Jesus did this when He talked with the Father. Allow time for God to talk to you. Don’t be in a rush! Start your prayer time by praising and worshiping God. Pray for other people and for governments. Then pray for your family. Pray Scriptures, God’s eternal Word. Include prayer in the Spirit (tongues); the Spirit always knows how to pray. These keys will make your prayers effective!

Godly Parenting: Biblical Keys to Raising Children

Training up your children in God’s ways will help them grow up strong in spirit. Training includes regularly talking to them about Jesus and God’s Word. It means prioritizing God and His local body in your children’s lives. And it means teaching them to honor you, and how to interact confidently and respectfully with others. Model what it means to serve God and how your children can have a relationship with Him. Jesus wants little children to come to Him! If your children learn this early on, they will have a solid foundation for adulthood.

Overcoming in Hard Times

Here are steps to overcome in hard times! One, believe in God’s goodness and that you’ll see it in this life. Two, wait on Him. Quiet your mind and connect to your spirit. As He speaks to you, He gives your life definition. Third, cultivate joy. God’s joy is your strength! Fourth, if you face tragedy, setbacks, or disappointments, don’t retreat from God or become bitter. The enemy wants you to drift from God, but you can choose not to give him a foothold. Fifth, have faith in the blood of Jesus and its protective power. Sixth, when you’ve done all that you know, keep standing! Don’t quit!

Beyond Limits: Let God Take You Into More

God wants us to succeed and be fruitful—just as everything He does is successful and fruitful. If you feel stuck, or aren’t reaching for something greater in your life, check if you’re hindering God from taking you into more. Hindrances include believing anything about yourself that’s contrary to what He says about you; dwelling on past mistakes; and carrying offense. Let’s shed these hindrances and with the Holy Spirit’s help reach for all that God has planned, like Noah, Abraham, Joseph, and others did!

How to Change the Direction of Your Life - Part 2

Do you want your life to take a different direction? Pastor Jeff outlines actions you can take to get moving. If you’re born again, the Holy Spirit lives in you, so let Him guide you in everything. Talk to God about what jobs to take, where to live, and which local congregation to join. Spend time with like-minded Christians; don’t get drawn into relationships that will bring you down. Ask God for specific instructions to keep your life moving in the best direction! He’s eager to help you!

Share Your Testimony!

Do you talk often about God’s goodness and tell people what He’s doing in your life? Do you give Him thanks for all the ways — big and small — that He helps you in your walk? Telling others what He’s done and being thankful to Him are habits we cultivate. They position us for even greater blessings, and we make others hungry to know God and experience what He can do for them, too! Listen to some testimonies of ALFC members. You’ll be encouraged!

Living a Life of Excellence

Excellence begins in your spirit and manifests outwardly. Christians should stand out by demonstrating God’s excellent qualities — patience, honor, orderliness, reliability, diligence, and faithfulness, to name a few. People of excellence prosper and attract God’s blessings. We all have some areas of our lives where we can raise our standards. Excellence is the result of caring about what we do, putting our best effort toward that, and expressing integrity, passion, and a desire to make a difference.
