Victory Church: Paul Daugherty

People can only live in their true purpose when they know God and live in His will. No position, role, title, or achievement can fulfill the purpose we have in this world. Before you were born, the Lord created a divine purpose within you that is found in relationship with Him. The devil will try to convince you that your purpose relies on applause and accomplishments, but God can awaken purpose wherever you are. No matter your title, God’s power can produce greatness in any circumstance! You are here on earth for a heavenly purpose!

On Memorial Day Weekend, we had the privilege to receive a timely word from Paul Geerling, Senior Pastor of iSEE CHURCH. Sharing from 1 Thessalonians, he taught that the power of God working through ordinary people produces miracles. And when we partner with the Holy Spirit, that is when His presence touches the lost.

Pastor Paul unpacks the initial release of the Holy Spirit on the Upper-room in Acts. Followers of Christ must remain obedient to the Lord even when we cannot see what He is doing. Waiting on God will push you faster and further than you could go in your own strength. Your job is to yield to the Holy Spirit as He leads, and oftentimes, He takes us one step at a time. Stay steadfast in surrendering to God’s plans and you will experience His blessings and miracles.

This weekend was full of celebrating and honoring the mothers within our church, ending each service with a prophetic blessing over all the women. Pulling lessons from Esther, “The Woman Who Saved a Nation,” Pastor Paul encouraged all men and women that they are called by God for such a time as this. Because of Esther’s obedience and prayers, she found favor with the king to be positioned as the savior for her nation. Just like Esther, you have been placed where you are by God to bring heaven onto earth.

In the last episode of Season 7, John and Arvin discuss the difference between working "ON" something and "IN" something, the importance of prioritizing your soul over your Instagram, and how exhaustion and maturity can often look like the same thing when it comes to leading yourself or others. 

Within every story in the Bible, God used real people to further His Kingdom, despite their flaws and shortcomings. The Lord looks for people with obedient hearts to carry out His plans and receive His promises. No matter what circumstances come against you, the Lord’s grace is powerful enough to sustain you and use it for His glory.
