If you are going to be a true follower of Jesus Christ you must be a servant. But you can't just choose to be a servant. Why? Because serving other must come from a heart of love and the only way you can have that is through a relationship with God, the author of love.
Though we are kings and queens in His kingdom we serve from a position of authority. We are the ones who seek to serve and not be served. Just like Jesus did and does. Our authority and our freedom is not an opportunity for us to use for our own selfish purposes but to use it as a platform to serve others. When we do, it not only fulfill us but brings glory and honor to our father God.
When we serve as Jesus served and serves it unlocks the supernatural. It is in our serving other that unlocks miracles and outpourings of the Holy Spirit that changes our world. That is why we are Servant Kings.

Being a servant should be synonymous with Christianity. However, in the United States we as follower of Jesus Christ must fight through the cultural ideologies that promote selfishness as a virtue and humility as a vice. Unfortunately, the church in America has bought into this way of thinking. No, not deliberately but unconsciously. Why? because it has become so embedded in our culture and our culture has been influential on the way the church thinks when it actually should be the other way around.
Serving others from a position of authority is a humbling and freeing all at the same time. Why? Because when you serve from a heart of love that God has given you it’s not a sacrifice but a joy to serve. We serve others as sons and daughter of God. We have the power, authority and compulsion to do so. In other words we can help but serve others. We are walking in the footsteps of the first and true servant king; Jesus Christ. When others see us the should be looking at Jesus because we are living just like He does.

Conflict is all around us. Being a Christian doesn't make us immune to conflict but it does give us a whole different approach to resolving conflict. As long as we are alive we are going to have to deal with conflict. God tells us in His word how to deal with people and conflict in such a way that it bring life to them and us.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we the church must learn to love each other through the power of the Holy Spirit and not compartmentalize our lives. His love and power should permeate every part of our life. Whether we are at work, school, in our community, at church or where ever we are His love and power rules no matter what.
We are family and family, though we do aggravate and get on each other’s nerves every now and then, we love each other. Not because we have to but because we can't help ourselves. His love is in us and that is what compels us to.

Sin is not a synonym for fun. It is the destroyer of humanity. Sin will steal, kill and destroy, according to history and John 10:10. Sin will steal your identity. It will confuse you, make you forget who you are, make you lose your voice, make you justify your bad behavior, and much more. That is why you must "master it" before it consumes you.
That all sounds so dramatic but it is nonetheless true. This is not a game or some action, sci-fi, superhero movie, it is for real. If we are to stand strong in who we are in Christ we are going to have to completely and totally depend on the power of the Holy Spirit to empower us to overcome it and to see it when it raises it's ugly head. We have to know where it comes from, learn how to control our feelings and emotions, take our thoughts captive, run from it and learn how to repent.
Our identity in Christ is at risk every time we walk in willful sin. Not that Christ "looses" us but that we being to forget who we are in Him when we live in sin. Today is a message to help you overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.

What and who tries to steal our identity? Satan and his lies. One of the main things that Satan will try and do is to get us into a position of compromise and get us out from under authority.
We all must be under authority. We will never truly walk in the spiritual authority God has intended for us if we are not under His authority. Positioning ourselves properly in accordance with God's word and what He says about us is paramount to us being the sons and daughter that affect change in our world for His glory.
Satan wants to steal that identity because he knows that there is power in our God given identity and his kingdom will suffer because of us walking in our authority.
