Mark Suverkrup Fills In

The Multi-Generational Increase of God, pt.4

Proverbs 13:21 tells us that the righteous are rewarded with GOOD!  That is God's desire for you.  But in order to position ourselves for the good that God wishes to lavish upon us, we have to recognize the areas where sins of idolatry exist in our lives, because God will not bless idolatry.  This teaching sheds light on the dark corners of our lives where idolatry tends to hide itself, exposing the darkness so that we can come into the light and enjoy the multi-generational increase of God!  

The Multi-Generational Increase of God, pt. 3

While there is a multi-generational blessing that God has in mind for your family, just as true are the multi-generational family curses that come upon those who resist the wisdom of God.  But God wants us to avoid the curse.  In order to do so, we have to implement God's blueprint for walking in the Blessing.  This teaching will enlarge upon ways to position yourself and your family to enjoy the blessings of God that will carry into future generations. 

The Multi-Generational Increase of God, pt. 2

God's covenant with His people is intended to extend beyond one generation.  God has multiple generations in mind, desiring to pass His blessings down through the generations of your family line.  But getting in on that generational blessing will require avoiding the curses out in the world that can decimate our heritage, and instead walking a separated, consecrated life before the Lord, and then teaching your children to do the same.  Prepare for the Lord to increase you more and more, both you and your children!  

The Multi-Generational Increase of God

Did you know that both God and satan want the same thing: your children and your legacy?  Satan wants to bring dysfunction and destruction into your family and steal, kill, and destroy.  But God wants to bless you and your family and your heritage.  Just as in the case of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, God's blessing on those who love Him is intended to be forever, but we have to follow His plan in accomplishing that, or else we fall into satan's plan.  It starts with first believing that God wants to bring increase to you in every area of your life as it says in our master text, Psalm 115:14: "God shall increase you more and more, both you and your children."  

THE GREATEST AMONG YOU: Aliens and Strangers, pt. 3

Jesus taught us that the way to life is to lay ours down, taking on the role of a servant in order to achieve greatness in His Kingdom.  The life of a servant personifies what it means to be a Christian.  It was Jesus, after all, that modeled the life of a servant.  This teaching provides insight on the illusion that is the worldly mindset many of God's people have been conformed to versus the true life that Jesus offers.   

DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD: Aliens and Strangers, pt. 2

The Word of God instructs followers of Christ to not love this world.  In keeping with our theme of considering ourselves aliens and strangers of this world, we must understand what it means to love the world and the things in the world, and avoid the "Big 3" -- the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.  Learning how those three tend to manifest themselves is key to living a life pleasing to the Lord and avoiding the traps of this world that can lead to spiritual shipwreck.  

Aliens and Strangers

Have you ever looked around at the things going on in the world and felt like an alien?  If you are a follower of Christ, there's a reason for that.  The truth is, Christ followers are described in the Bible as just that: aliens and strangers.   This world isn't our home, and the Bible tells us to not love this world because our homeland is heaven.  When we begin setting our minds on things above and not things here below, it gives more significance to life on earth and encourages us even while we endure the degradation around us for a time.  That hope also encourages us during times of grief when we lose loved ones.  This teaching will give you a Biblical glimpse of heaven, plus the testimony of someone who was there for 90 minutes after being ran over by a truck.  Enjoy learning about your homeland in this teaching.  

ENTITLEMENT vs. EMPOWERMENT: The New You, pt. 3

There are many people in our society today who feel entitled to certain things because of a lack of privilege, having been wronged, or whatever the reasons are.  But an entitlement mentality rarely works out to the advantage of those who cling to it.  Rather, feeling entitled robs people of the personal responsibility required to make something of themselves and lead the fruitful life God intends.  In this teaching, you'll learn why entitlement and self-pity are not your friends, and how adopting the mindset of what God says about you -- that you are MORE THAN A CONQUEROR -- will set you on the path to fruitfulness, accomplishment, and inner healing.  

SEEING AS GOD SEES: The New You, pt. 2

Theodore Roosevelt said, "Comparison is the thief of joy."  Learn in this teaching why that's true, and why as Christians it is unwise to fall into the comparison trap.  If we can begin seeing as God sees, then we can avoid sizing ourselves up in comparison to other people and instead walk in the joy of the Lord as He intends.
