With the anointing comes supernatural empowerment by the Holy Spirit... but how do we get the anointing? Far too often, we confuse gifting with anointing, and there is a huge difference between the two. If you want to see God's purposes accomplished in & through your life, you need His anointing. If you want to position yourself for greater anointing, check out this message from Elan Church.

If you are in a relationship with Jesus, you are part of His 'holy priesthood' (1 Peter 2:5). And this priesthood requires that we learn how to offer God 'spiritual sacrifices' that are holy and acceptable to Him. If you want to understand more about the mandate God has given you as a Holy Spirit-filled, modern-day priest, then check out this message from Elan Church.

Healthy relationships require us to focus on the other person's preferences, not just our own, and our relationship with God is no different. Worship requires us to focus on God's preferences (not ours) because worship on our own terms is not acceptable and will be rejected. This means it is critical that we worship God His way or the cost will be the loss of His Presence, and nothing is worth that... To find out more, check out this message from Elan Church.

God has given us a 'great co-mission.' He has a part to play, and we have a part to play. And part of this includes stewarding the body & the spirit that God has given to us. The truth is that you are not your own... You are responsible to God for how you steward what He has given to you. To discover more about how to steward the body and spirit God has given you, check out this message from Elan Church.

Without honor, even Jesus could do no miracles (Mark 6:5). If you want to see the power of God move miraculously in & through your life, it is essential to cultivate a heart of honor. And honor works 360° (those above us in authority, our peers, and those God has entrusted to our care). To find out how to create a heart that honors God and honors others, where the miraculous power of God is at work, check out this message from Elan Church.

Do you have your own revelation of Jesus, or are you living off someone else's? Spiritual authority comes from your own personal revelation of Jesus, and the time that you spend with Him. You cannot piggyback on someone else's spiritual authority... You need to have your own. To gain a better understanding of how to worship Jesus and how to build your own spiritual authority, check out this message from Elan Church.

Are you a consumer or a servant? If you approach Jesus & His Church the same way you approach a shopping experience, you will inevitably be frustrated... That's because The Church was never meant to be something we ATTEND, it was designed to be something we ARE. To understand more about Jesus, His Church, and how we find our place in it in a healthy way, check out this message from Elan Church.

Why does the church exist?... and what should our response be?

Most Americans don't handle money well... and as a result, 6 out of 10 Americans are only one missed paycheck away from being broke. But God never intended for us to live this way. He wants to bless us so that we can be a blessing to others, yet many of us are not yet experiencing this in its fullness. If you want to learn how to manage God's money well and see His blessing in this area of your life, check out this message from Elan Church.
