In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the law (or principle) of "first things" discussing, in particular, the importance of believers placing the things of God first in their lives. Every breakthrough in the Kingdom is activated by a spiritual law, and the law of first things is no exception. Whenever we intentionally put God first, we reap a great harvest. However, withholding from the Lord by NOT giving Him first place hinders His work in our lives. When we prioritize God and the things of His Kingdom, we set ourselves in position to receive the fullness of His blessing.

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of "pressing in" to the things of God. Receiving all that God has preordained and prepared for His children does not happen automatically. Believers must actively and wholeheartedly pursue the things of God, rather than sitting idle and waiting on His blessings to simply "fall" from the sky. When we press in to know God and learn more about His Kingdom and His plan for our lives, we can fully expect to be met with the revelation, wisdom, and direction necessary to move forward - and upward - into greater levels of blessing and spiritual maturity.

In this message, Pastor Dale teaches on the benefits of developing and maintaining an attitude of thanksgiving and praise toward God at all times and in all circumstances. Praise and thanksgiving are more than expressions; they are connectors to the force of faith. When we praise and give thanks to God, especially with our voices and words, supernatural power is released, our faith is strengthened, and our capacity to receive is increased.
