God didn’t tell us to cast a mountain into the sea.
He told us to speak to it.
Sometimes we complicate what God has made simple.

You can spend your whole life trying to live holy to please God and never show love to a single person.
It’s not about how little you sin.
It’s about how much you love others.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
God is not ‘allowing’ nor orchestrating the tragedies that happen in this world.
God has given dominion of the Earth to man.
Satan is defeated.
We have only ourselves to blame for not affecting a positive change in our world.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Easter is less about death than it is about life.

Jesus chose death that we might choose life.

People quote scriptures all the time from the Bible to support beliefs that are opposed to the Gospel message.
If you believe something just because of what a scripture says, you may be like a reed in the wind with your beliefs swayed every direction the wind blows.
Relationship with God and hearing from the Holy Spirit to reveal Truth is the key to stability.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
If you confess your sins, you aren’t confessing according to the truth.
Confession for the saint is about agreeing with what God says about you, and He says, “I have forgiven and forgotten your sins and in Me you are righteous and unblameable.”
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Faith doesn’t give you permission to do something foolish.
Flesh gives you permission to do something foolish.
Flesh often masquerades as Faith.
Discernment when properly applied will expose your flesh and keep you on the right path.

I will preach the unpopular messages that are not politically correct.
I will preach messages that stir people to think.
I will preach messages that cause people to ask questions.
I will preach messages that provoke people to love.
I will preach messages that call people to action.
Those messages are the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
My faith is not your faith, and your faith isn’t my faith either.
Our faith is His faith, and we should live by it.

Everyone is given a measure of faith.
Everyone has something to contribute to the body of Christ in their own unique way.

The question shouldn’t be, “why isn’t everyone healed?”
The question should be, “why aren’t Christians healing the sick?”
God asked us to simply BELIEVE.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
I AM is an ACTIVE God. The God of NOW.
If you are living in the PAST, or worried about the FUTURE, you may miss out on what God has for you TODAY.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
While you are waiting on God to move, He is waiting for you to decide.
Did you think He was going to make your decisions for you?
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
A revelation of God’s love for us can only come when the Gospel is recognized, and faith is realized.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Religion seeks to exclude, divide and judge.
Christ welcomes all, tears down walls of division and does not judge what was already judged in His flesh for all mankind.
Wherever there is exclusion, division or judgment, the Spirit of the Lord is not there.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Chasing after a “double portion” has drawn people away from the truth that they have the Fullness of God living in them that is without measure and without portion.

Mixing Judaism in Christianity is not identifying with ‘Jesus, the Jew’.
It is identifying with the Mosaic law and religion.
Even the feasts?
Even calling Him Yeshua?
Yes.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
He became nothing, so we could become everything
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
When someone in a less-developed country takes on the name of an Old Testament prophet or patriarch, you can be certain of two things.
- They weren’t preached the Gospel.
- They are trying to live under a covenant that has been done away with.
We have a greater power and the results of a better covenant than any Old Testament patriarch or prophet could have dreamed of.
