Liberty Life Center Podcast Pastor Dawn Rene' McCann

The REAL promise of Pentecost is living a life empowered by the Spirit of God to walk in holiness, to have freedom to live life bigger than wrestling with your demons, to experience a life of discovering what you are capable of when you are partnering with the Holy Spirit! We have the Holy Spirit as our parakletos, our “defense attorney,” the One who is our Helper, but we need to engage with Him fully in order to experience our freedom from the entanglements of the enemy. Pastor Dawn ministered in a deeply personal way with each person to release freedom from sin, depression, confusion and other strongholds. We experienced the Holy Spirit shift the atmosphere as Pastor Dawn prophesied, “The beauty of today is that you have been set free from captivity, awakening the truth in your mind, body and finances, and in your circumstances, that you are not beggars, but you are more than conquerors!” Amen!

We can learn and be inspired by Mary’s story. She leaned on God’s Word and moved forward, trusting God’s leading and direction. Mary believed that God would keep His promises, and decided to trust Him during the uncertainties in life.
Although Mary’s path was unknown, she surrendered to faith, hope and love, and trusted God in moving forward. Moments with God will release hope when you are facing unbelievably difficult challenges. You can experience faith in the midst of the circumstance and say to God as Mary said to the angel, “Let it be done as you have said.” And God will give you grace in that moment to do and be all that He has for you, and you can know that you can feast on His love, rest in His love all the way through the unknowns. The most important thing is to make the “God decision,” and then it’s on God to fulfill it!

Pastor Dawn reminded the body of Christ that we are in a spiritual war, and that when Satan comes with his lies, it is God’s Love that wins the battle for us. There is no force in the universe more powerful than the love our Heavenly Father has for His children. God sent His Son out of love, and He will always love you no matter what. In this time, God is reestablishing us in His love so deeply that we will see God BIG, know His love in our brokenness, turn away from lies of the enemy about God, and understand His love gives us our true identity, and gives us purpose and meaning. Pastor Dawn shared how God called her to be a Pastor at the Sea of Galilee and she saw all the “diamonds” on the water that represented how many lives would be changed by His love and her yes. Tearsa Burgess gave a beautiful testimony of how God realigned her heart and gave her back her confidence that the Love of God would see her through every challenge, and in this process we need each other in the body of Christ.

: Pastor Dawn introduced the topic of Faith, and introduced four people to talk about Faith for 10 minutes each. We learned that Jesus lived full time in both the physical realm and the spiritual realm. Feeding the 5,000 and healing the woman who accessed the spiritual realm by Faith when she touched Him are beautiful examples of living in the unlimited dimension of the spiritual realm. We can do the same things Jesus did if we keep our Faith free from fear. We’ve all been given a measure of Faith, but in some ways, engaging Faith is like a risky investment, as shown in the parable of the talents. God is pleased when we engage Faith to expand His Kingdom because that shows we really believe Him, and we are fully invested. Faith is how the Kingdom of God advances on the earth. Everyone, even an atheist, has Faith in something, so locate your Faith and make sure your Faith is in the Truth. Truth is a person; it’s Jesus! Then saturate yourself in Truth until you experience what you believe. Cultivate the promises you need, and “up the dosage” until God’s Presence is more real to you then any other thing, because Faith knows God’s will and lives intentionally.

At Liberty, our passion is to provide an atmosphere where Holy Spirit is welcomed and free to do whatever! We want Liberty to be a place where people encounter God and He empowers us to engage in reaching the world for His Kingdom. We want the Presence of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit demonstrated in our lives with freedom. Liberty’s Mission is to love God passionately and serve others significantly by embracing, displaying and sharing God‘s love. Liberty‘s Vision is partnering with Jesus to continue His mission to disciple, empower and transform individuals, cities and nations. God is reestablishing Liberty in our core values of Freedom, Connection, Generosity, Development, Spirit-empowerment, and Love, to help us accomplish our mission and move forward together, equipped and build together by God Himself.

The Bible has many accounts of people having experiences with Jesus where He came into their situation and settled it forever for them that He is real, that He does miracles, and that Jesus is God. God wants to come into your life, too, and give you an “It’s too late” moment, where from that moment forward no one could ever talk you out of your faith in God. It’s too late, because you’ve already experienced Him, already received His help in a tangible, life-changing eventful moment! Jeff encourages everyone that if you want an “It’s too late” moment with God, where God personally, supernaturally intervenes in your situation He will give you one. He wants to reveal Himself, and He wants you to hold onto your “It’s too late” moment and have faith that no one can talk you out of! It’s just TOO LATE, because you are already totally convinced because you have personally experienced God in your life!
