Duane Sheriff explains that there is an ecosystem of faith and how things are connected to your faith. There are laws and principles of faith. Your prayers will become more effective once you understand how these things are connected to your faith.

True humility accepts that we are nothing without Christ, but through Christ, we are His workmanship. Duane Sheriff shares the four attributes of humility so we can judge our hearts. Without God: 1) we are nothing, 2) we have nothing, 3) we know nothing, 4) we can do nothing. All our abilities, talents, gifts, and blessings come from God. 

Through faith, grace is how we enter God's Kingdom and how we live in God's Kingdom. Grace is God's power to be who we are and God's power to do what we do. Grace is God's power in our human weakness. Duane Sheriff explains that it is our human weakness that keeps us humble and dependent on God. 

Why does God resist the proud? Pride was the original sin of Lucifer. Duane Sheriff contrasts the attributes of humility and the attributes of pride. Humility is God-centered and focuses on others, whereas pride is self-centered and focuses on self.

Grace is the power to do all God has called us to do. When we humble ourselves, we receive more of God's grace. But when pride is in our lives, God will resist us. Duane Sheriff contrasts humility and pride so we can experience God's grace.

Humility allows us to receive more grace in our lives, but pride can hinder grace in our lives. Duane Sheriff shares the attributes of humility and what humility looks like, as well as the attributes of grace and what grace looks like. Grace empowers us to be the salt of the world, the light of the world, and a blessing to everyone we know.

We are saved by grace through faith, and grace is a gift from God. Duane Sheriff shares the basics of grace, where to find grace, and when to find grace. Grace is God's power in human weakness and can only be found in a relationship with Jesus in our time of need.

Grace is God's power in human weakness. Grace is found in Jesus and a relationship with Jesus. Duane Sheriff teaches that overcoming today's sins, weaknesses, and addictions is impossible without Jesus.

The scripture in 1 John says that if we pray in accordance with God's will, He hears us. And if we know God hears us, then we know we have the petitions of our hearts have been granted. But how do we know what to pray for? According to Brother Duane, we need to learn to pray God's will, and God's will is His Word. When we pray in accordance with God's will, He takes pleasure in answering our prayers. This not only brings glory to Him but also serves as a testimony to non-believers.

Duane Sheriff's testimony of his open vision of the cross inspires reliance on Jesus rather than the flesh. Four things we are not after the flesh: 1) Without Jesus, we can do nothing. 2) Without Him, we have nothing. 3) Without Him, we know nothing. 4) Without Him, we are nothing.

Duane Sheriff received a calling from God when he was just seven years old. However, due to a family tragedy, he decided to go his own way until he had an open vision of the cross. Duane saw all of his sins being absorbed into the body of Jesus, dying with Him, being resurrected with him, ascending, and finally being seated at the right hand of God. This vision helps remind Duane to rely on Jesus - the Rock and not the pit he was in before the vision of the cross.

Grace is God's power in our lives to become the children of God. By grace, we are saved through faith; it is the gift of God. Duane Sheriff explains that our work, effort, or self-righteousness can not save us. We must mix faith with the word of grace for God's power to be released in our lives.

When you embrace Jesus - you embrace grace and truth. Grace makes us who we are in the Kingdom. Duane Sheriff teaches that Grace is the power of God to be all you were created to be and do all God has called you to do.

The basics of God's grace is vital to our walk with the Lord, understanding our salvation, and receiving all of God's promises. Duane Sheriff teaches foundational truths and the basics of grace to reveal the "amazing" in amazing grace. 

Through the "new birth," God's divine design is for believers to change into His image. We will either change for "bad," which happens naturally, or change for "good," which can only happen supernaturally. Duane Sheriff reviews the nine processes of change described in 2 Corinthians. 

We do not have to try harder to change. Change comes from God's power, not our willpower. Supernatural change happens, and we become transformed into the image of the Lord when we set our minds on God. Duane Sheriff shares that our dominant thoughts will define our lives for the good or the bad.

No matter how long we have had a relationship with the Lord, we can always grow in the area of prayer. In this message, Brother Duane shares the basics of prayer - why to pray, how to pray, and what to pray.

Although it is important to learn steps and principles in ministry, Duane Sheriff teaches that those principles should point you to a relationship with Jesus. Three rhythm of grace principles are: 1) learn to come unto Jesus, 2) learn to take His Yoke, and 3) learn of Him. When we develop disciplines that become a natural rhythm, ministry will come from a place of supernatural rest.
