It is not how long the journey will take us, it's how high. Heaven bound! #andyfernandez #iamministries #quotes

God desires that you understand today that his prosperity in your life was never provided in order that you may indulge in self-righteousness and self-indulgence but to bless all people in order that they may see God and recognize his favor. #andyfernandez #iamministries #pastoraladvice

No one invests into something, knowing they are going to lose. #andyfernandez #iamministries #quotes

The blessings of God are always to exceed and go beyond your own personal needs. They are provided to bless others, including your children and your children's children. #andyfernandez #iamministries #pastoraladvice

Faith is not known only by its words, but rather by its actions. This is how you and I will give an account of what we believe, and whom we believe in. #andyfernandez #iamministries #pastoraladvice

Revival is when you and I fall in love with Jesus all over again. #andyfernandez #iamministries #quotes

Those who do not respect their spiritual leaders are not respecting the anointing of God. The anointing is what breaks the yoke, and when you disrespect that man/woman of God in your life you are disrespecting the one who anointed them. Jesus Christ. #andyfernandez #iamministries #pastoraladvice

Find yourself a mentor who bears the fruits you desire to attain. Study them, affiliate with them, follow them, and be loyal to them. Everyone needs a mentor. Hebrews 13:7-8 7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. #andyfernandez #iamministries #pastoraladvice

In this journey called faith, there are seasons. There are springs, summers, falls, and winters. When seasons change always remember that God doesn't change. No matter what season you find yourself in, always remember it's just a season, this to shall pass but his everlasting love and faithfulness shall never pass away. Be still! #andyfernandez #iamministries

We would like to begin by encouraging you to sit back and take a moment, a moment to identify any area of your life where you may be struggling and/or wrestling with a lack of God's provision. It could be in the areas of your finances, relationships, un-forgiveness, emotional health, mental health, or something as simple as self-control or enjoying a level of peace. If you can identify with any of these symptoms we want to welcome you to the ranks of those who may be suffering from a spirit called poverty :) We want you to know that "poverty" takes on many forms, even some of the wealthiest people in the world suffer from a lack of spiritual and emotional stability and even at times mental health. The information that we will be providing is to diagnose and solve this reality with the truth of the Gospel. This is not a prosperity message, but rather a Gospel message that God wants to see you prosper as much as your soul prospers. So put on your hats and take this journey with us as we indulge in the battle to rid ourselves of this spirit called "poverty". The very first step in breaking the "Spirit of Poverty" is to identify that "Poverty" is not simply a lack of finances, material gain, or a lack of mental stability, it is a Spirit. There is an entity, which the Bible states, desires to devour the blessings of your family, your children, and your children's children. I do not want to seem overly spiritual, but if we disregard this first fact, that there is an entity who desires to steal, kill and destroy your dreams, your hopes, your faith, and even your finances we are blind of the truth that will set us free. As a Pastor I want you to know that there are external forces working against you trying to disrupt your effectiveness in the Kingdom of God and the opportunity to bless others. I say all this not to bring fear to your hearts but to strengthen you in the truth that some of what is happening to you may not be the fault of your own. In later lessons, we will be discussing attitudes, behaviors, and habits that can lead to poverty, but at this moment we want to address the truth of our adversary. I have seen throughout my many years in ministry that many of God's greatest generals within the Kingdom of God will struggle, if not face this enemy named poverty. It disguises itself as self-pity, righteous sacrifice, and even takes the form of self-denial. There are many times when these excuses become our reasoning to embrace or make sense of what is happening to us while serving God with all of our hearts and even with our finances. As a Church Planter, my wife and I know very well what it is to empty out our accounts and live within our means for the sake of the Gospel. We understand what it means to not enjoy a simple meal at the local fast-food restaurant because we didn't have the means to even provide. I, myself, have faced this enemy and I would like to encourage you to do the same. My purpose for this post is not to impart a spirit of self-pity but to recognize and cause you to wake up. There are struggles and/or patterns that you must recognize and become resiliently angry about. The Word of God states that people perish for lack of knowledge. Receive this knowledge today and break the spirit of poverty in your life. Remember, only the truth of Christ will set you free. And the truth is "Christ became poor so that you may have life and have it more abundantly! #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries

"The blessings of God are always to exceed and go beyond your own personal needs. They are provided to bless others, including your children and your children's children." #andyfernandez #iamministries

While you are awaiting your unanswered prayer, do not forget any of his benefits. While your children are serving or not serving the Lord, do not forget any of his benefits. While you are pressured or concerned about today, do not forget any of his benefits. While you are building a ministry or assisting one, do not forget any of his benefits. While you are growing rich or living by means, do not forget any of his benefits. While people come in and out of your life, do not forget any of his benefits. In all that you do, think, and feel never forget any of his benefits. In a time when doing what is right, and serving the Lord has become scarcely difficult to many. We must always remember to prioritize our lives and mind according to scriptural truth. King David reminded himself that there is eternal profit, divine benefits in praising, and serving the Lord God. Perhaps you don't have the latest car or the million-dollar house, perhaps your dreams seem almost impossible to accomplish, perhaps you are just waiting for some supernatural event to intervene in your life and rescue you from your turmoil. But, let me remind you according to God's truth that there is more to life than just material prosperity. There is a never-ending truth that God will redeem you and crown you with love and compassion. You will rise again and your sins will be forgiven forever. Live in this truth when your soul is bankrupted, and you shall see that you are richer than you think! Psalms 103:1-7 1 Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. 6 The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. 7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel. #soundsofmywritings #andyfernandez #iamministries
