WELCOME

On The Rock Ministries was birthed to glorify God through authentic relationships rather than religion. We believe in being the hands and feet of Jesus by serving those in need and living out the gospel in our daily lives. We show people their God given value and strive to spur each other on towards love and good deeds. As we are in Him and He is in us, we move in the power and love of Jesus Christ to heal the broken hearted and set the captives free. Join us for uplifting services, engaging events, and opportunities to serve our local and global communities.

                                                                                               WILLINGNESS

THIS MORNING I’D LIKE TO ASK EACH OF YOU TO CLOSE YOUR EYES, BOW YOUR HEAD, AND TAKE A MOMENT TO IMAGINE GOD COMING DOWN AT THIS VERY MOMENT, HE’S STANDING BEFORE EACH ONE OF US IN ALL HIS GLORY! HE’S ASKING US A QUESTION, “ARE YOU WILLING?” YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ANSWERED YET BUT HOLY SPIRIT IS COMING IN LIKE HE DOES SO MANY TIMES LOVINGLY WITH KINDNESS AND COMPASSION AND SAYS, “MY FRIEND, IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU’LL GIVE ME YOUR BEST, YOU’LL TITHE FROM YOUR FIRST FRUITS, YOU’LL FORGIVE ALL OFFENSES, YOU’LL GIVE GENEROUSLY, YOU’LL LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, YOU’LL SACRIFICE FOR MY KINGDOM SAKE, YOU’LL GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO BE RIGHT AND LOVE WITHOUT JUDGEMENT, AND YOU’LL BE MY BRIDE PURSUING ME AND MY RIGHTEOUSNESS EVEN BEFORE YOUR OWN LIFE!

AND HE ENDS WITH THIS, “ARE YOU WILLING?”

 

CAN WE BE REAL HONEST HERE TODAY?

  • HOW MANY OF YOU WHEN ASKED, “ARE YOU WILLING?” RESPONDED WITH, “WILLING TO DO WHAT?”

  • HOW MANY OF YOU ARE  CONVICTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR AREAS OF UNWILLINGNESS IN YOUR LIFE EVEN IF IT WASN’T SPOKEN?

  • WHO NEEDS TO REPENT OF AN UNWILLINGNESS IN YOUR LIFE?

(TAKE NOTE THAT I DIDN’T ASK IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO OR WANTED TO REPENT; WE NEED TO DO WHAT’S NECESSARY TO BE CLOSER TO WALKING IN HIS  RIGHTEOUSNESS)

 

ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE, UNWILLINGNESS IS HAVING AN ATTITUDE OF REFUSAL, A PRIDEFUL DESIRE TO SUIT YOUR AGENDA OR PURPOSE.

1 JOHN 2:16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.

 

PHILIPPIANS 2:3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

 

ROMANS 12;17-21 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

 

MALACHI 3:8-12 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.

 

ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE, WILLINGNESS IS AN ATTITUDE OF MIND THAT INVOLVES GIVING OF YOURSELF FREELY JOYOUSLY AND NOT FEELING OBLIGATED.

 

1 CHRONICLES 29:9-17  The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly.

10 David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,

“Praise be to you, Lord,
   the God of our father Israel,
   from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
   and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
   for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
   you are exalted as head over all.
12 Wealth and honor come from you;
   you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
   to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks,
   and praise your glorious name.

14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. 15 We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. 16 Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. 17 I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift, not as one grudgingly given.

 

2 CORINTHIANS 8:12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.

 

JAMES 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

 

HOW MANY KNOW THAT WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY? MOST OF THE TIME IT’S NOT THE ENEMY FORCING THE DOOR OPEN TO OUR LIVES AND CREATING HAVICK AND DECENSION. ALL TO OFTEN WE OURSELVES NOT ONLY OPEN DOORS TO OUR LIVES BUT WE INVITE HIM IN FOR A PARTY AND SERVE HIM A SEVEN COURSE MEAL BY NOT TITHING, NOT FORGIVING, NOT REPENTING, NOT SPENDING MORE TIME WITH JESUS, NOT ACTIVELY RESPONDING TO GOD’S WORD, COMPROMISING, AND ROBBING GOD OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HIS ANYWAY…!!!

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I AM DONE WITH HAVING PARTIES THAT HURT, BRUISE, AND DESTROY THE FRUIT & THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST JESUS IN MY LIFE!

 I ONLY WANT TO HAVE HOLY GHOST PARTIES, WHERE I AND ALL OF YOU ARE SET FREE, HEALED, & MADE WHOLE IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME!!!!

 SO, IN CLOSING, “ARE YOU WILLING?” HOW WILL YOU RESPOND EVEN NOW BEFORE YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR!!!HOLY GHOST PARTY!!!!!!

Amen brother!

This is why we must keep our eyes on God's word daily to feed our spirit. And keep all his commandments. Also, I believe we are in the last days and we need to keep praying for Israel and keep watching the sky until we are raptured up and meet Jesus! Praise you Lord!

I think of that old song. I can do all things through Christ who has risen in me. On our own this seems difficult, but if we give ourselves over to the Holy Spirits complete control, then Christ will use us to affect other people and situations. Our desire should be to be a tool in the hands of God. That we might make this world a better place. JD

WOW!!! Definitely something to pray and meditate on!! Having been going through the MOST difficult experiences with people I love, and who have let me down so many times when I had every reason to believe otherwise of they're actions and choices!! I have been the sacrifices by those who loved or hated my husband!!! I don't like to appear to be a victim of anything because I always got through things, forgave wrongs done and put myself in they're shoes. I haven't gotten any of those things from these people in this situation! And know this, I have my wrongs in all of it too! I've lived in a desperate fight or flight mode, walked on eggshells all the time in this not wanting to hurt or anger anyone!!! I let ME down the most!!

I failed to stand up against what was wrong according to God's word. Guess you could say I was chicken!! Lacked Faith and have been impatient!! Among some other things I won't share here, but some of you know.

So the mess this has left my life in, financially, personally, spiritually, my relationships with family and others, physically, my self confidence, self esteem, self worth, and other losses as a result hss me in a state of so much uncertainty im my life!!

I know it's the perspective of God that I need to live, I just need to learn how to, increase my Faith, wait for His timing in all things, and make some very hard to make changes!! Sounds easy doesn't it? Maybe to some, but to me it seems so overwhelming!!

I need God's people to help show me how, because I'm admitting I don't know what to do next except pray pray pray!! It's the foot work that paralysis me every time!!

That's where I'm at, and it's not a good place to be!! Just being real!!
