Pastor Mark Stroud

We don’t have to be defeated, doomed and depressed another day of our lives. The gospel of Jesus Christ still has the power to change lives, but those who have been going to church for years may be asking, “Why isn’t this working?” It’s because Christians have been mirroring the feelings of the world around us rather than relying on the Bible for strength and stability. We want to do everything else with everyone else, and as a result, we don’t study the Bible or put it into practice like we should. Instead of allowing Satan to continue to steal the Word from us, we need to lock it down and let grow. This week, Pastor Mark Stroud from Kingdom Rock Family Worship Center explains how we underestimate the Word of God and offers nine steps to make it stick in our lives.

Times are tough, and they are only going to become more challenging as we approach the end of days. The Word of God foretells these times in great detail. It speaks about the hardness, but it also speaks about the grace being poured out in abundance. Our Heavenly Father is the master of providing for His people in times of disaster and ruin. God sets a seal on us that protects us from judgment. This message is part 10 in the series, “Fake Church”. Visit our site to learn more: www.kingdomrock.org

The Lord has ordained the Body of Christ to rule and reign in the earth. To that end, we have been given great power and authority to manifest the will of God. Having power and displaying it are two different things. To find the answers, we must learn to walk the Path of Power. This message is part 9 in the series Fake Church.

The world is under judgment and destruction is in the air. By honoring the Lord and sanctifying Him in your heart and your whole life, you will be safe. Be on your guard! The enemy is trying to desensitize us to use the Lord’s name in vain. Do not become accustomed to society and make God’s name “ordinary,” as He is sacred and holy. You must acknowledge Him in every area of your life! Humble yourself before God, repent and ask for His grace! Sanctify the Lord for HE is HOLY. This message is part 8 of the series, Fake Church.

During times of trouble we realize we have drifted off our spiritual course. You must take the fear of the world out of our lives. We must reaffirm our commitment to Christ and pursue Him. With Him as our covering, we will thrive! Who’s covering you? This message is part 7 of the series, Fake Church. You can watch the entire series at our site: kingdomrock.org

Judgment and darkness are going through the world, but we are called to be preserved and be the light. We must honor God, as he knows we have sinned. Examine yourself and cry out to God. Confess your sins, so you are forgiven and cleansed. You don’t want anything of the devil in you! God will help you and continue to save you each day. Cry out to him!

God is trying to establish His will in your life and the devil is trying to derail it. You are the deciding vote. As the enemy comes to condemn and curse, you must know that you are perfected and cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Through your testimony and the blood of the lamb you can overcome the enemy. What you agree with will open the door for more miracles or more terrible things to happen! It's time for the Blood Defense. www.kingdomrock.org

God is releasing the law of multiplication. This means you will be doing the same thing but having a greater impact. As He is doing this He is making sure we know how to handle sin and temptation. Let the Lord prepare you for your time of revealing. Repent and refuse to accept any sin in your life. It's time to kick the devil out. This message is part 3 of the series, "Fake Church". www.kingdomrock.org

One of the most important things we'll ever do in life is to repent. Repentance isn't a bad word. It's actually a gift from God. He gives us the ability to change, to turn from darkness even when the rest of the world is rapidly running towards destruction. True and lasting change is only possible when we place our trust in Jesus. He will guide you away from destructive habits, bad choices, and crippling thoughts unto life and freedom. He will move you away from sins control into complete victory. This starts through repentance and believing the Gospel. If you'll change your mind, you'll change your world.

When we sin it robs us of our "power", and we become less than who we were created to be. Let us be real. Let us turn around and seek the face of God. Let us let our walk with God be real. When we humble ourselves and practice daily repentance, we recalibrate our thinking. We realign ourselves with the mind of God. Only then can we become the REAL church. www.kingdomrock.org

There is none righteous. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's moral law. The penalty for this sin is death, and it must be paid. Somebody has to pay. Jesus gave His life on the cross to pay the penalty. Don't step over His body and go to hell because you think your works are good enough to pay the penalty. Let Him be your sacrifice. www.kingdomrock.org

The first commandment warns us against idolatry. When we replace having a relationship with Jesus Christ with religion and worship the things of God but not God, we give Satan a seat in our lives. Giving him this seat gives him the authority to cause havoc in your life. It's time to repent and overturn the seat of Satan. Our faith and focus must be on Jesus Christ. www.kingdomrock.org

Let the peace of God smooth and comfort you as you listen to the holy scriptures set to relaxing music and nature sounds. www.kingdomrock.org

In this hour God is tearing down idols in our lives. This is not a judgement for the world as much as it's an eye opener for the church. This is for our benefit. This shaking will reveal the type of foundation on which you stand. Are you standing on sand or is your foundation on the Rock? The end is near. We will be ready. www.kingdomrock.org

Jesus came to restore both our relationship and fellowship with God. When we allow ourselves to be engrafted into the vine, we receive life from the Father through Christ. This life gives us the authority to enforce His will on the earth, fulfill our purpose, and live an abundant life. This message is part 4 of the REST series. www.kingdomrock.org

Peter looked through Jesus' flesh and saw the Christ. Once the disciples saw who Jesus was they were able to receive from that anointing. Jesus has placed gifts inside those around us that we need as we journey through this life. We must reset our focus so that we can see those gifts and therefore receive their value.

The Word tells us to cast (throw or place) our cares on God. Why? Because He is watching over us. He does not want us to carry worry or fear because these things are destructive. Instead He wants to fill us with His perfect love. Join Pastor Mark A. Stroud in this message entitled, "Does God Care". kingdomrock.org

Have you allowed God to reveal to you who Jesus is? Do you know why He came? Jesus is the builder of the church. We as born-again believers are the church. Let Jesus build you. Let Him complete the work He has begun in your life so that you can be a container for His glory and His power. You can be unstoppable! This message is part 1 in the series entitled, "Reset". It has been subtitled, The Secret. www.kingdomrock.org

We were created to both originate and imitate behaviors. The behaviors of those we spend time with will eventually manifest in our lives. How can we be among sinners like Jesus was and not become like them? We must be insulated through the truth of the Word of God. Continually pursue the presence of Jesus and study the word. You will then release your potential like never before. But you must always beware of bad company. www.kingdomrock.org

God has chosen us to bear fruit - release our potential. It is also His desire that our fruit would remain - leave a legacy. When we are legacy-minded we have open access to Heaven. What kind of legacy can we leave? We can leave a good name, a financial inheritance, and a spiritual inheritance. Don't let this life be just about you getting to Jesus. Make sure you bring someone with you. www.kingdomrock.org
