Reign Fire Church

Key Points The church today lacks authority, identity, dominance, and character, with 80% of Christians having no spiritual discernment according to a former Church of Satan leader. Walking in authority means being under authority and living in obedience to God's will without second-guessing yourself. Christians must pray for their pastors and leaders as commanded in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, Romans 15:30, and Hebrews 13:17, since leaders are responsible for souls and will give account to God. Believers should demonstrate spiritual growth through personal responsibility in prayer, Bible study, fasting, and vigilance to God's things rather than expecting others to carry their spiritual burdens. A personal testimony was shared about confronting a dishonest business owner who took church money for t-shirts, demonstrating how walking in authority means standing firm without resorting to threats or violence. Spiritual acceleration involves experiencing supernatural surge in faith and br...

Why “Christian” and “Disciple” Both Matter Words in the Bible carry weight. In the New King James Version (NKJV), the word “Christian” appears only three times, and each time it points to identity in Jesus. Meanwhile, the word “disciple” appears far more often and points to a way of life. Together, these words help us understand who we are and how we live. Where the Bible Uses the Word “Christian” The NKJV uses “Christian” three times, all in the New Testament. Acts 11:26 says, “The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.” Later, Acts 26:28 records King Agrippa saying to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.” Finally, 1 Peter 4:16 encourages believers, “Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed.” In other words, the name “Christian” marks a person who belongs to Jesus, even when life is hard. How Often the Bible Says “Disciple” Now look at “disciple.” In the NKJV, “disciple” and “disciples” appear around 261 times, and they show up only...

Key Points - Summary is in next section below The term "Christian" appears only three times in the New Testament, first mentioned in Acts 11:26 where disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Being a Christian requires believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God who died for sins and rose from the dead, while being a disciple involves following Jesus and living out his teachings daily. Jesus outlined three specific requirements for discipleship in Luke 14:27 and Matthew 16:24: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow him. Discipleship involves bearing a cross according to God's purpose for each individual, with higher ministry positions requiring greater crosses and consecration. God's kingdom operates on principles of sacrifice, covenant, and obedience rather than education, business success, or worldly achievements. Making a covenant with God through sacrifice attracts God and the Holy Spirit, enabling believers to move the hand of God and oper...

  Anchor Scripture & Thesis James 1:22—be doers of the Word, not hearers only. Faith grows through obedience + accountability , not comfort. Core Metaphor: “Calling Cottage / Heart Home” Doorbell = Prayer ; Thermostat = Scripture ; Smoke alarm = Accountability . Neglect brings cold/smoke; attention to God’s Word restores warmth/order. Community + repentance + truth-telling repair the “house.” What the Story Teaches Skipping prayer/Scripture leaves life cold and smoky until accountability sounds the alarm. God’s Word and honest friends turn down pride and reset us with grace. Integrity needs truth; character faces flaws, not flattering mirrors. Small daily habits grow warmth and peace. Screens and money need loving boundaries. Accountability + small steps keep life aligned with calling. Diagnosis: How We Drift Comfort replaces obedience; delays (“maybe later”) thin character. Tiny choices still lead somewhere; weeds t...

👏 Great Commission Discipleship: Character, Maturity, Accountability, Community Key Points Jesus' Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 commands believers to go and make disciples of all nations, with Jesus possessing supreme authority in heaven and earth. Believers must demonstrate evidence of their faith in three areas: personal life with family, public life with coworkers, and social life with all people they interact with. Nine signs indicate spiritual immaturity in believers: being defensive, unwilling to accept correction, having a critical and negative attitude, lacking self-control and discipline, being easily offended, focusing on personal validation, inability to handle criticism, pride and self-centeredness, and seeking human validation. Character protects spiritual gifts and talents, while lack of character can destroy even the most gifted individuals who use their abilities to manipulate situations. The word "disciple" appears 261 times in the New Test...

🙏 Complete in Christ: Confronting the Church’s Identity Crisis, False Gospels, and Whole‑Life Discipleship Key Points Pastor opened with a reading from Colossians chapter 2 verses 1 through 10, highlighting that in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The biggest crisis facing the 21st century church today is not finances, membership, or the devil, but rather an identity crisis where believers don't know who they are. Identity crisis occurs because the church seeks people instead of God, and when you seek people you get lost because they are lost themselves. Many believers have embraced the prosperity gospel as the true gospel, but there is only one gospel which is the gospel of Jesus Christ, and God wants a relationship first before prosperity. Believers' words have power to bless or curse them, and while demons cannot possess believers, they can influence, oppress, and harass believers when doors are opened through contradicting God's word....
