    Signs and Wonders - Part-7 / #58

    Summary This episode continues the discussion on signs and wonders by focusing on the “keys of the kingdom” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 16. Andy explains that while Scripture does not give a complete list of these keys, love, faith, authority, binding and loosing, and forgiveness are clearly essential to walking in the Kingdom of God. The main emphasis is that love is the master key. God’s agape love opens hearts, causes faith to work, and shapes believers into the image of Jesus. The conversation then moves into forgiveness as another major key of the Kingdom. Forgiveness is not just a feeling, but a choice that frees the heart, breaks the power of offense, and allows believers to become more like Christ. Andy emphasizes that unforgiveness can keep people bound, while choosing to forgive brings freedom, healing, and spiritual maturity. Show Notes The Keys of the Kingdom Andy begins with Matthew 16, where Jesus asks His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter’s revelation that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, becomes the foundation for Jesus’ statement about building His church and giving the keys of the Kingdom. Binding and Loosing Gabe asks Andy to explain the meaning of binding and loosing. Andy explains that binding is like tying something up and rendering it helpless. Spiritually, believers have authority to bind the works of the enemy, such as fear, doubt, and confusion, and loose the opposite, such as peace, faith, and a sound mind. Love as the Master Key Andy describes love as the key that opens people’s hearts and enables the other Kingdom keys to work properly. He emphasizes that God does not just have love; He is love. Love is the atmosphere of heaven and the evidence that believers are operating from the Father’s heart. Faith as a Key of the Kingdom Faith is another key. Andy points to Hebrews 11 and Romans 12 to show that every believer has been given a measure of faith. Faith grows when it is exercised, and God often tests faith in smaller things to prepare people for greater signs, wonders, and miracles. Learning to Love Like Jesus The conversation explores the difference between natural love and agape love. Andy explains that the love a parent has for a child gives a glimpse of how the Father loves us. But loving enemies, critics, or those who mistreat us requires the help of the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness as a Kingdom Key Forgiveness is presented as one of the most spiritual things a person can do. Andy explains that forgiveness is not a feeling but a choice. Sometimes that choice has to be made again and again until the heart is free. The Freedom Forgiveness Brings Unforgiveness keeps people bound, but forgiveness frees the heart. Andy emphasizes that when believers choose to forgive, they deny the flesh and become more like Jesus in that moment. Key Quotes “Love is the master key.” “Every situation we’re in right now is an opportunity to learn how to love like Jesus loved.” “We have the authority and the power to right every wrong that we encounter on the path of our life.” “Faith is obviously one of the keys of the kingdom.” “God doesn’t have love. He is love.” “Forgiveness is not a feeling that you have; it’s a choice that you make.” “If you can’t forgive, you can’t be free.” “The moment you choose to forgive, you become like Jesus in that moment.” “Forgiveness is always right. It’s never wrong.” “Unforgiveness has kept a lot of people bound their entire lives.” Scriptural References Jesus Gives the Keys of the Kingdom Matthew 16 (13–19) Jesus asks His disciples who they say He is. Peter receives the revelation that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus then speaks of building His church and giving the keys of the Kingdom. Binding and Loosing Matthew 16 (19) Jesus speaks of binding and loosing, showing the authority given to His people to stand against the works of darkness and release the will of heaven. The Enemy Comes to Steal, Kill, and Destroy John 10 (10) Andy refers to the enemy’s purpose to steal, kill, and destroy, contrasted with Jesus coming to give life. Authority Over the Enemy 1 Peter 5 (8) The enemy is described as walking about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. The Measure of Faith Romans 12 (3) Andy refers to God giving each person a measure of faith, emphasizing that believers already have faith resident within them. Faith Pleases God Hebrews 11 (1–40) Andy highlights Hebrews 11 as the faith chapter, showing many examples of people who acted by faith. God Is Love 1 John 4 (8) The statement that God does not simply have love, but is love, connects directly with the episode’s focus on agape love. God’s Love Demonstrated Through Christ Romans 5 (8) God demonstrated His love by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Love Your Enemies Matthew 5 (44) Jesus commands His followers to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them. Forgiving Seventy Times Seven Matthew 18 (21–22) Jesus teaches that forgiveness is not limited, but should be a continuing posture of the heart. Being Conformed to the Image of Christ Romans 8 (29) Andy connects love and forgiveness with the process of being conformed into the image of Jesus. Takeaway The keys of the Kingdom are not just spiritual concepts; they are meant to be lived. Love is the master key that opens the heart, faith enables believers to move with God, and forgiveness frees the soul from bondage. When we choose to love, forgive, and walk in the authority Christ has given us, we become more like Jesus and allow the Kingdom of God to work through our lives.

    Signs and Wonders Part-6 / #57

    Summary This episode focuses on the importance of signs and wonders in the life of the believer and the Church today. Andy Taylor explains that signs and wonders are not limited to biblical times but remain a vital part of God's Kingdom activity in the present. While acknowledging that many churches have become bound by tradition and religious routine, he emphasizes that God is increasing manifestations of the supernatural through believers who are willing to cultivate a genuine relationship with Him. The discussion highlights that signs and wonders are not reserved for a select few in ministry but are available to every believer. Spiritual maturity, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and a willingness to hear and obey God's voice position Christians to participate in God's supernatural work. The conversation also explores the spiritual awakening occurring among younger generations and the need for church leaders to move beyond tradition and embrace fresh revelation from God. Ultimately, the speakers encourage listeners to pursue truth, seek intimacy with the Father, and expect God to work through ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Show Notes Signs and Wonders Are Still Relevant Today Signs and wonders remain an active part of God's Kingdom. God continues to heal, deliver, and transform lives. The supernatural is increasing as believers become more receptive to the Holy Spirit. Spiritual Maturity Prepares Us for the Supernatural God tests believers in natural circumstances before entrusting them with greater spiritual responsibility. Faithfulness in small things prepares believers for greater manifestations of God's power. Humility is essential when operating in signs and wonders. The Greatest Miracle Is Salvation Physical miracles are important, but salvation remains the greatest supernatural work of God. Testimonies of people coming to Christ around the world demonstrate God's ongoing activity. A Spiritual Awakening Among Young People Many young people are searching for truth and authenticity. This search is leading many back to Jesus and the Scriptures. God is stirring hearts and drawing a new generation into relationship with Him. Tradition Can Limit Spiritual Growth Religious tradition often becomes a barrier to fresh revelation. Churches can become comfortable with routines and stop expecting God to move. Leaders must continually seek God's direction rather than relying solely on past practices. Signs and Wonders Are for Every Believer Every Christian is created for a supernatural relationship with God. Signs and wonders are not reserved for pastors or ministry leaders. God desires to work through ordinary believers in everyday situations. The Need for Apostolic Leadership Churches need leaders who can recognize stagnation and bring fresh vision. Apostolic influence helps churches remain aligned with God's current purposes. Healthy leadership listens to God's voice and responds to His direction. God Uses Unexpected People Throughout history, God has chosen unlikely individuals to accomplish His purposes. God's power is revealed through those who are willing and obedient rather than naturally qualified. Christ in us is the hope of glory. Key Quotes "God's testing you in the natural to see if He can trust you with the supernatural." "Whoever is faithful in a little, God will bless with more." "If you're really on an authentic search for truth, you're going to end up at Jesus." "We're all hardwired for the supernatural." "You're created for signs and wonders." "God loves to use the unqualified to do the impossible." "The church needs to get on board and listen to what God is saying." "The greatest miracle is the miracle of salvation." Scriptural References Mark 16 (17-18) "And these signs shall follow them that believe..." Referenced as the foundation for believers operating in signs and wonders. Luke 16 (10) "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much." Supports the teaching that faithfulness in small things prepares believers for greater responsibility. John 10 (10) "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." Used to describe the abundant life available through Christ. Genesis 1 (1-31) "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..." Demonstrates God's supernatural nature and mankind being created in His image. Ephesians 4 (11-13) "And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers." Referenced in the discussion of apostolic leadership and the fivefold ministry. Colossians 1 (27) "Christ in you, the hope of glory." Highlights the source of God's supernatural work through believers. Matthew 15 (6) "Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition." Supports the warning against allowing religious tradition to hinder God's purposes. Acts 2 (17) "I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh..." Relates to the spiritual awakening and increase of God's activity in the last days. Takeaway Signs and wonders do not simply happen automatically—they flow through believers who cultivate a genuine relationship with God, listen to the Holy Spirit, and step out in faith. The greatest obstacle is often not a lack of God's power but a reliance on tradition that limits expectation. As believers pursue truth, mature spiritually, and remain open to God's voice, they position themselves to participate in the increasing manifestation of His Kingdom. God is looking for willing hearts, not perfect qualifications, and He delights in using ordinary people to reveal His extraordinary power.

    Signs and Wonders - Part 5 / #56

    Summary:   Signs and Wonders don’t just start falling out of the sky. They come via the Holy Spirit through those who are persistent and determined to activate their faith through a personnel, interactive relationship with the Father. They come because we, as believers, stop holding on to old church traditions and religion, and start getting before the Father to hear His voice and start doing what He tells us to do. Show Notes: In several translations, it says in Romans 12:3, “as God has allotted to each the measure of faith.” What this means to many is that God has given to each of us the same measure of faith. It’s there. It’s resident in us, after we’re born again. There are presently 100’s of thousands coming to Christ outside of the normal church settings. This means that churches world-wide need to break out of their traditional, religious ways, wake up quickly, and start moving as part of this end time move that the Lord is bring forth now. In Bible Belt religion, getting saved is the end game. But for the kingdom person, that’s the starting point, to be developed into the person that God has called and purposed you to be. You can never fulfill your destiny if you’re not going to be interactive and relational with God, the Creator of the universe. Signs and wonders don’t just happen through you. It takes persistence and determination to activate your faith. This involves getting alone with God, listening for Him to start speaking to you and making that a priority. This is not an option for church leaders. They must start moving into what God is bringing in this day, finding their way to hear God’s voice and start conveying that to their people. Quotes: God expects it out of the church and us as individual believers, that the greatest display, expression and manifestation of signs and wonders is happening now. There’s a God of miracles Who’s the same yesterday, today and forever. So, signs and wonders should have never tapered off down through the generations. They should have escalated. So it’s going to take some seriousness and determination to hear God in this season and start to move out in those things. If you want to get involved in signs and wonders, Ephesians 2:10 says, “We were created in Christ Jesus for good works.” This can be anything from praying with someone, to rebuking and binding up a demon, or even coming into a financial blessing that you needed. References: Romans 12 (3) Ephesians 2 (10) John 10 (27) Takeaways: God is moving faster now than the churches are moving. If we believers don’t start listening to the Father and doing what He wants us to do, the 100’s of thousands being saved currently won’t have anyone to show them what it means to have a real walk with God, or how to start moving into God’s Kingdom.

    Signs and Wonders Part-4 / #55

    Summary: There are seven elements that make up Trinity Fellowship’s spiritual DNA. The Kingdom of God, knowing God as Father, and signs and wonders are a part of the seven. Without having a real understanding of the Kingdom and an experiential knowledge, along with a deep, intimate relationship with the Father, signs and wonders are not going to happen through us. That’s why the church needs to step up quickly to be a guide for the Kingdom of God instead of sitting on the sidelines and watching God move through other means to accomplish His will in the earth. Show Notes: The worldwide church is way behind what God is doing now. That’s why church leaders must start listening to the Father and conveying that to their people. There are thousands of people coming to Christ presently, but most of the church is stuck in old traditions and religious ways, which is keeping people from a deeper walk with the Father. That’s why it’s so important that the message concerning the Kingdom of God—and real kingdom people with kingdom mindsets—come to the forefront to help guide and teach these new converts what it is to really have a true walk with the Father. Quotes: “I’m more of a teacher than I am a preacher. I’m not trying to entertain here. I’m serious about the seven things that God has given for us to focus on. I’m not trying to grow a church, but I’m trying to develop a people.” “We’re going to start seeing a lot of these high-profile people—actors, even politicians—starting to get saved. A great example is Jelly Roll. Upon receiving a Grammy, he shared his whole testimony about Jesus, about God, and basically telling everybody that they can have all they want of Him.” “The Kingdom of God exists right now in its perfection and its fullness, but it doesn’t manifest in the natural realm until someone like you or me is obedient to what we believe God is doing.” References: Matthew 6:33 Takeaways: God is moving very quickly in the earth, and the church has to step up fast, or God will find other ways to get His job accomplished.

    Signs and Wonders Part 3 / #54

    Summary: Having a personal, interactive relationship with the Father and having a clean heart are both actually the first step. Matthew 7:7 tells us to knock and keep knocking, seek and keep seeking, ask and keep asking, and the door will be opened to you. That’s what you have to do to be efficient at anything. We, as believers, are hardwired for the super-natural. Just because your prayers for people and things don’t turn out like you think they ought to, don’t get discouraged. Keep doing it, keep trying and don’t stop doing it. How about going after something smaller than trying to raise someone from the dead right off the bat? In reality, signs, wonders and miracles are happening much more than we know, but we have to start looking with spiritual eyes to see them. Show Notes: There are so many people who think that signs and wonders are just reserved for somebody else, someone who knows a lot more Bible, or someone more committed than them. What a misconception! We’re all created for signs, wonders and the supernatural, because we were created in the image of God. A lot of people go around wondering why, when they pray for someone with a terminal illness or something, most of them end up dying. Understandable! But you never know what might happen if you keep praying for these people. The Bible tells us to keep on knocking, asking and believing for it to happen. Sometimes it’s better to pray and not see immediate results. And, sometimes, you find out months after you did pray over someone, that a healing really did take place. Could God have been protecting you from pride at that time? One of the greatest signs and wonders is being able to communicate with the Father, and the ability to hear Him speak to us in so many different ways. Quotes:   There has to be signs, wonders and the supernatural acts and events for the world that we live in, to see the kingdom of God advanced to the degree that those kinds of things start to happen on the regular course of our day. I’ve seen too much supernatural stuff for someone to say that God’s not doing them today. I think God always wants to do it, but now more than ever. And I think we’re in a place, the church, the body of Christ now, where we’re going to see a lot more of that kind of stuff. References: Matthew 7:7 Takeaways: As believers, we should never stop believing and praying for miracles to happen for people. If miracles and healing are two of the gifts of God’s spirit, we all should be contending and going after these things to start happening in our everyday life.

    Signs And Wonders - Part 2 / #53

    Summary: To be able to walk in this supernatural realm of signs, wonders and miracles, the first and foremost thing is to have an ongoing, close, intimate relationship with the Father, on a consistent basis. Everything we do, especially signs and wonders, stems from this. Second, God has given all of us the same portion of faith, but we all have to start using it and building it up for it to become effective. Start praying for impossible-looking situations and see how these things can start happening in situations that you get involved with. Show Notes: God is eternal and if we are saved, we are also eternal. We have been prepared for good words. Isn’t it possible that those good works have already occurred in the eternal realm, and the Father is waiting for an obedient kingdom person to walk into that situation, and by faith, make it happen? So many believers, especially in the Bible Belt, have a mindset that only the ministry people do these kinds of things, so we have to break that mindset because we are all truly called to these things. We’re all hardwired to walk in the supernatural. It happens a lot where we pray for someone to be healed and it doesn’t happen. So, are we just supposed to stop because of that? God is testing us in the natural to see if He can trust us with the supernatural. If we don’t ask, and keep asking, for a healing or miracle, it certainly won’t happen. If you want to move in signs and wonders, just do it. Don’t think small. Cross the threshold and exercise your own faith. Activate your faith. Quotes: We’ve been trying to train people around here for a long time, to ask big and to pray impossible-looking prayers. We are hardwired for signs, wonders, miracles and good works as kingdom people. I believe these should be happening all the time, and should be following us in the path of our life. Signs and wonders should have been escalating all this time, not tapering off. It’s religion that really tends to get in the way of this. Our God is a God of miracles, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. References: Ephesians 2:10 Mark 16:17-18 Takeaways: With us, when these seemly impossible situations come up, there’s no way that we feel adequate to tackle them. But then, the Father never wanted us to feel adequate. He wants us to know that we can only do all things in Him. It’s in our inadequacies and weakness that His strength and power can flow through us to pray for, heal, and see miracles come in other people’s lives.

    Signs And Wonders - Part 1 / #52

    Summary: There are several things that factor into walking in signs and wonders, which are some of the elements of Trinity’s Spiritual DNA. These are: The Kingdom of God, Relationship with the Father, Grace, Family & Relationships, and being equipping for the work of the ministry. God intended for all for us to move in signs and wonders, but we have to shake off our unbelief and reluctance in order start taking steps to seeing these things happen. The only thing that keeps us from moving in the supernatural is our own thinking. Show Notes: One of the key factors in preventing signs and wonders from occurring is unbelief and hardness of heart. That’s why Jesus, after His resurrection, appeared to the 11 and rebuked them for not believing those who told them that He had risen. We are called to operate in the supernatural realm, not under our own power, but under the power of God, by the Holy Spirit who lives in us. Signs, wonders and miracles are not limited to someone who is healed of a deadly disease or raised from the dead. It could be something as simple as God working out an impossible looking situation in someone’s marriage, or with other relationships. Quotes: In Mark 16:17 it says, “These signs will follow those who have believed”. The acid test is not whether you say you believe. The acid test is if you can look back last week, last month, last year, and see if there are signs and wonders in where you have been, because we are the people who carry those signs and wonders. As believers, we have been hardwired for signs and wonders. We’re made for the supernatural realm. Supernatural signs, wonders, and miracles are woven into the fabric of the creation story from the beginning, and were intended to be part of every Kingdom believer’s life forever. References: Matthew 22: 37-39 Ephesians 4:11-12 Mark 16: 14-18 Genesis 1:1 Takeaways: Signs and wonders are happening every day, but we have to be looking with spiritual eyes to see them occurring. When you start talking about signs and wonders, so many people start thinking about the big occurrences, like people jumping up out of wheelchairs and things like that. Most of the time, it’s the little things that God is doing, that seem to go unnoticed by most.

    Equipping The Saints / #51

    Summary: Without a close, intimate relationship with the Father, where you and He are connecting and communicating together, your chances of walking in a ministry are next to none. With the help of the Holy Spirit, all of us should be desiring and walking in the anointing and gifts that God has given to us. All of us can, and should, be getting fed to go out and communicate the good news with everyone that the Lord leads us to connect with. Walking in a ministry is very simple if you drop the fear and intimidation of connecting with and touching people out of your heart and spirit. Show Notes: Our main objective here at Trinity is not just to feed people, but to equip them to process the information, so that they are able to communicate it to the people they come in contact with. That way the word becomes perpetual. “Teach these things to faithful people, who will teach others also”. Ministry is so much more simple than people make it out to be. It can come at a restaurant with a friend, or out of the golf course, where something is brought up and you are able to talk from your position on what you have learned. The most important thing about doing ministry is having a close relationship with the Father, where you and He are connecting and communicating together. The five fold ministries talked about in Ephesians 4 are to be equipping the rest of the body for the work of the ministry. God didn’t establish them to “do all the doing”. Quotes: People come to church with the main idea of getting fed, but to do nothing with it is a futile effort, in my opinion. They are not thinking about giving that away to somebody else. You are carrying more than you realize you are. And, you’re not going to realize how much you carry unless you’re in a situation, in real relationships, where this stuff comes out. Ministry is not something we do, ministry is someone that you are. All we’re doing is being able to tell our story, based on where we are in the Lord, and how we’ve grown up in the Lord. You’re called to the work of the ministry. That means putting one foot in front of the other. Keeping obedient to God, and listening to what God is saying to you. So, start to find out your place in the body by finding an area of need in your church and step in and start to helping out. References: Ephesians 4:1-16 Luke 15 2 Timothy 2:2 Takeaways: God’s true church will never be what it is supposed to be until everyone in the body of Christ starts to wake up and starts walking in the anointing and gifts that God has already given to each of us. The Lord has given us all strengths in Him to walk out if we will just stop sitting around waiting for someone else to do it.
