Don't Be Short Sighted- Rolland Baker

Personal testimonies and amazing stories abound as Iris' Will Hart preaches on the wonder of impartation at the 2017 Live to Love conference in Torrance, CA.

Our joy comes from being in love with Jesus and it's actually effortless to be in love! Laughter is the fruit of joy and its actually OK to laugh, even in church! In this podcast, Rolland shares many stories and testimonies from over the years of his and Heidi's life on the mission field. Circumstances can be hard, we may even have to endure suffering, but our faith is more precious than gold and our true life and joy is in him in eternity!!! He is enough to sustain us through anything and everything!

The people of God must trade in their short sightedness for an eternal perspective and re-adopt the values and priorites of Jesus Christ. We must be prepared to have our faith tested and proven to be real and genuine in the midst of conflict and adversity. Real freedom, joy, and peace are found in constantly proving our love for Christ as we await Judgement Day.

In this race of faith, we are called to not just start well, but to finish strong with courage and with joy. The God who so loves us has prepared a banquet for us, so let’s not settle for crumbs. We can only start loving when we know how much our Father God loves us. Let our focus be on Jesus and do not lose heart or give up.

Revival is to come alive again and being really alive in every way requires true freedom. Wouldn't you like the freedom to get as close to God as you want and to get as excited about Him as you want? What if the most important thing in the world to you was your relationship with God? Jesus is full of life and full of surprises. The more you know Him the more you will really be alive and free.

Christianity is simplified in the revelation that everything is all for and only for Jesus. To love and enjoy Him and be loved by Him is our greatest calling and purpose, let all else fall away.

Rolland explains IRIS Global's third core value: We look for revival among the broken, humble and lowly, and start at the bottom with ministry to the poor. God chooses the weak and despised things of the world to shame the proud, demonstrating His own strength and wisdom. Our direction is lower still.

Rolland explains IRIS Global's first and second core values. Core value one: We understand that we can find God and can experience intimacy, communication and companionship with Him in His Presence if we share His love for righteousness. Core value two: We are totally dependent on Him for everything, and we need and expect miracles of all kinds to sustain us and confirm the Gospel in our ministry.
