On this week's episode from Fearless LA, guest speaker, Pastor Pat Schatzline shares his message titled “Restore the Priestly Kings”. There has long been a separation between the call to be a king and priest within the bible and modern day church, or has there? Pastor Pat clears up common misconceptions about what it means to be called to business or ministry and the fine line in between.

There are differences between the mantles of a king and priest. However, through the word we see several people who served as a king and priest including King David and Jesus. Could there be a closer connection? During this season, God is birthing opportunities for kingdom entrepreneurs that are also ministers of His love. He wants to give us breakthrough but we must surrender to His process.

God wants to remove any orphan mentality we carry inside of us. It is time to remove delays and obstacles from our lives. However, "until the issue of paternity is put to rest, we will always try to live with the wrong family," with the wrong people and in the wrong circles. The issue of paternity has been laid to rest.  Jesus died to remove the question and restore us to the Father. He has certain mandates to bring us into freedom and shift us into the life He has promised us through His word. Let's dive in to this incredible, relevant, practical and timely word regarding our personal direction.

For this week's impactful message from visiting pastor, Pat Schatzline, he speaks on "Restoring the Roar. " God wants to repair our hopes, passions, dreams and identities to get us back on the path He designed for us. His original blueprint for our lives superseded anything we can ask, think or imagine.

God wants to destroy fear in every area of our lives. His heart is to restore identity and power through His presence. God allows our past to become our university for the future. He weaves together all the complexities of our lives to create an intricate story of love and hope. We cannot allow fear to continue robbing us of peace, hope and God given opportunities.  He wants to shift the atmosphere of our lives by empowering us.

We were born for such a time as this. However, to walk into the God given destiny over our lives, we have to confront fear. This is a pre-requisite for greatness. We have to become fully dependent on Him as our source. We cannot simply rely on our own gifts and talents. His presence and word have to be the fuel to our fire, pushing us forward. We must stop trying to please people and letting their desires dictate our actions. God has a higher plan to lead us in a supernatural anointing. Partnering and agreeing with His thoughts about us is the first step to experiencing this reality. Let's lean in to this week's podcast, and connect to God's heart for our lives.

In this weeks podcast we are blessed to hear from the Lady of the House, Christy Johnson. We are continuing in our series “Family Values” and this value is “Servanthood is our Position”.

Servanthood is the highest honor in our walk with the Lord. You’re never going backwards when serving, you’re always moving forward, always advancing! Loving God and serving people are one in the same. So if I truly love God, I will naturally be inclined to serve others! It will not feel like a task. Even if our flesh is tired, serving with rejuvenate our spirit!

If servanthood is the job title, than stewardship is the job description. If we’re stewarding our gifts and our talents, we will be using them for the Lord. Whatever you’re going through this week, take a moment to see who you can serve, not so you can be rewarded, but solely because servanthood is our position!

Every family has values that they stand by in every season. The great thing is that the same applies in God's kingdom! Pastor Jeremy is taking 10 biblical values and breaking them down to build our essential Family Values! This week we journey into the second part of “Servanthood is Our Position”.

Pastor Jeremy shared “Anything valuable that you don’t protect will be stolen.” This rings true in our position as servants in the kingdom of God. What an honor it is to take our rightful place as a servant in the kings house! “Serving removes boundaries from God and puts boundaries on everything else." Have you ever put boundaries around God? We never practice this intentionally, but we all have done this. Many times we put boundaries around God. This allows fear, lies, and anxiety run rampant yet we still expect God to meet us in our man-made boundaries.

I wonder if the boundaries we put on God in our finances, family, work, school, dreams and more is impeding the true breakthrough we could experience. If we let God truly run wild in our lives, what would it look like?! What if we could give God the freedom to do as He pleases. We should submit our time, talent and treasure back into the kingdom. He can do more in what we’re putting boundaries around than what we could ask, think or imagine. Challenge yourself this week to let go of your boundaries in order to make room for a miracle only God could make happen.

In this weeks powerful message, we continue with our “Family Values”. Today we dive into the value of “Servanthood is our Position”. When you serve God, serve God with your house and all that is in it. Don’t just serve God alone, serve Him with everything you have authority over; family, finances, body, mind, time, attitude. When serving, we have to serve with passion! Serving is not a threat, it is a thrill. It is not a task or mundane, it is extraordinary and an HONOR and a privilege. Serving God is an opportunity. It’s a chance for God to LOVE you, not God NEEDING you. God doesn’t need what you have to offer because what you have to offer is already His. He wants your HEART. Wherever you’re at this week, we pray you catch on to this value, and that it seriously enriches your life!
