This week's message is a powerful and prophetic look at the dangerous union between zeal and spiritual bondage. While zeal is a good thing, it also can be dangerous and destructove. The Fundamentalist and Pentecostal movements, in particular, have been grossly affected by unbridled zeal that has led to a religiosity and doctrine of works, rather than a reliance on grace in response to faith and obedience to the Gospel. How can we avoid the pitfalls that so many have become entrapped in? Watch this message to learn how zeal can be harnessed to produce good results and prevented from becoming destructive!
The Daily Pulse (Sunday, January 31, 2016): For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.1 Corinthians 15:21-26 (NIV)
The Daily Pulse (Saturday, January 30, 2016): But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:20 (NIV)
The Daily Pulse (Friday, January 29, 2016): So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 (NIV)
The Daily Pulse (Thursday, January 28, 2016): Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come. Romans 5:14 (NIV)
The Daily Pulse (Monday, January 25, 2016): To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:17-20 (NIV)

Summary: Do we believe in the power of prayer? How lively is your prayer life? As life becomes busier and more chaotic, it seems like prayer gets pushed aside in our lives. But, God calls for prayer to be central in our lives and not secondary.
The Daily Pulse (Sunday, January 24, 2016): To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”Genesis 3:16 (NIV)
The Daily Pulse (Saturday, January 23, 2016): "...And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Genesis 3:15 (NIV)
Jesus, throughout his time on earth, was concerned for the lost. (Luke 19:10) “for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” NKJV He knew the value of a soul and would eventually give up His life for the souls of mankind. But not everyone possessed the compassion for the lost that He did.
The Daily Pulse (Friday, January 22, 2016): So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. Genesis 3:14 (NIV)
The Daily Pulse (Thursday, January 21, 2016): Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” Genesis 3:13 (NIV)
The Daily Pulse (Wednesday, January 20, 2016): The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” Genesis 3:12 (NIV)
