Steve Fry Podcast

Ever wondered what your purpose is? Your purpose is to be the image of God on this earth! You get to live your best life when you are your unique self, the way God created you to be, reflecting the image of Jesus in you. Reflecting Christ is the way we experience His resurrection life right now! Join as we hear this special Easter message from Steve Fry. 

Worshiping God together shapes us into trust, shapes us into love, shapes us into obedience. If we truly enter into worship we are opening ourselves to God's magnificence. Submitting to God’s authority through worship is a priceless delight.

The Book of Revelation tells us where we’re going so we can be full of faith. Christ is already victorious and has chosen to reveal Himself through the churches [lampstands] and He will empower us to persevere. Perseverance is the realization that nothing can separate you from the love of God.

Dependence is more than relying on God, it is abandoning our mind and emotions to Him. Surrendering our inability to trust rather than trying to trust.  Dependence on God is resigning from ourselves. Holy Spirit will answer our prayers in the way and timing that makes us most like Jesus. 

Ultimately, prayer is acknowledging God's authority. Prayer is not so much asking God to help me as it is me seeing God. Committing things to God and waiting on Him are not so much disciplines we develop, as they are behaviors that flow from our conviction that He is sovereign and possesses all authority. 

God always has a plan for your life. We will totally depend on God when we’re convinced that every battle we face has either been designed by God or allowed by God. The first step toward  joy and peace in your battle is to know that even if God didn’t cause it, He will always be in it! Dependence is not a choice. It is a way of life. 

God came, as a helpless child- that is the answer. The way of the child is victory over darkness. No longer needing all the answers and everything figured out, but rather walking in our identity as His child, being fully dependent on Him.

Before we take authority over Satan, let’s take authority over our own thoughts. Strongholds are not just areas of demonic control in a person; strongholds can just as much be ungodly thoughts which become ungodly attitudes.  Negative, destructive, and sinful thoughts are best overcome by the Holy showing us the beauty of Jesus! A sermon by Steve Fry. 

Prayer always starts with God coming to you. You can start being an intercessor by telling God the worries you have for others in your life. To intercede is to stand before God on behalf of someone else and ask Him to show favor and/or show mercy to them. If you learn to pray to God about what’s on your heart, you will develop a hunger to pray about what’s on God’s heart. A sermon by Steve Fry.   

The flesh is anything we put our confidence in other than Jesus! If we want to know Christ completely we have to abandon all other sources of confidence because it ultimately robs us of joy in the Spirit. Once you abandon yourself to a life of letting Jesus be Jesus through you, you will find the abundance that Jesus promised. 

Jesus walking with us becomes a greater joy when we discover how Jesus walks through us. Once you abandon yourself to a life of letting Jesus be Jesus through you, you will find the abundance that Jesus promised. A sermon by Steve Fry.

We receive all things from God by faith. We are saved by faith and we are empowered by faith. We have been raised with Christ and we have received fullness. When we pursue God, when we yield to the Holy Spirit, we do so from fullness. Worshiping God in spirit and in truth becomes the lifestyle of the fullness we have received.

There is a difference between the manifestation of tongues and a personal spirit-language. A personal devotional prayer language (heavenly language) strengthens our spirit. A prayer language is experienced by faith as an act of yielding to God. 

The God Community of Father, Son, and Spirit is the foundation of everything. Individuality is an illusion. We now live from the full security of that intimacy. This becomes the abundant life Jesus promised. Because we are secure in our intimacy with Christ, we are freed to daily yield to The Holy Spirit.

When we participate in God’s life we live in and live from His rest. This is what living in rest means… Christ is enough. In this message Steve unpacks the different manifestations of the Holy Spirit & how we operate in those manifestations from a place of rest. 

A church that desires the Spirit's manifestations will stay healthy if it has a greater desire for the Spirit's fruit. In the early Pentecostal Outpouring we became a 'power' culture rather than a 'witness' culture. God has called us more to participation in his life than a partnership with his power.

To experience resurrection power is to see pain as an invitation to God’s Presence. Resurrection power is falling into God’s arms by falling into the pain, without resolving the it, trusting God to raise you above the pain. It is at the point of embracing your pain that you discover God!

The fruit of the Spirit is not only what He produces, but even more so who He is. When our focus is on the Lordship of Christ, we will possess a deep desire that Christ is exalted in a body of believers, and a deep hunger for the fruit of The Spirit. The message of God's love will capture your attention; but the message of God's Lordship will transform your life. 

What the Holy Spirit initiates will always result in a heightened awareness of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. To be a ‘spiritual’ is to walk in the ‘fruit-gifts’: the full range of life in the Spirit, both His fruits, gifts, and manifestations.

When it comes to your giftings, the biggest discovery is not discovering your gift; it is discovering how your gift fits with others. The shared spiritual experience described in 1 Corinthians 12-14 is meant for groups large enough for the manifestations of The Spirit to be expressed and small enough for everyone to participate.
