Westside Church Northwest Podcast

What are you pouring into your spirit?

In this Ladies Night teaching, we talk about the difference between a cup that’s empty, a cup filled with the wrong things, and a cup overflowing with the Holy Spirit, the Word, and the goodness of God.

We live in dark days — but we don’t have to live empty, anxious, or dry. Scripture calls us to walk in wisdom, stay filled with the Spirit, and keep our hearts with all diligence, because out of the heart flow the issues of life.

If your cup has felt empty, full of fear, or just lukewarm — this is an invitation to come back to the Source. He still fills. He still overflows. He still multiplies what you give.

Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” That is not a slogan. It is your identity.
Your spirit was made new. Your soul (mind, will, emotions) and your body were not. That is why so many believers still feel like the old person even after they prayed the prayer. The work now is to let the new creation on the inside take over—nail the flesh to the cross daily, feed the spirit with the Word, and learn to check your spirit instead of your feelings.

We walk through:
Galatians 2:20 — crucified with Christ
1 Thessalonians 5:23 — spirit, soul, and body
2 Corinthians 5:1–17 — this tent is temporary; you are a new creation
1 Corinthians 2:16 — you have the mind of Christ
Romans 12:2 — transformed by the renewing of your mind
1 John 2:20 — the anointing that teaches you

Mature Christians handle life differently because they know who they are and who lives in them. The old man is gone. There is a new sheriff on the inside.

Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Abraham was fully convinced that what God promised, He was also able to perform—and that faith was credited to him as righteousness. Paul says it was not written for Abraham’s sake alone, but for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus from the dead.
Jesus was delivered up because of our offenses and raised because of our justification. That means we are no longer at war with God. His wrath and justice have been satisfied. He is not mad at you. He is not your enemy. Through Jesus we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand—and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
In this message Pastor Cory walks from Romans 4:20–25 into Romans 5:1–2 and asks a simple question: if we say we believe this, does it show up in how we live, plan, and stand?

Culture is constantly trying to rewrite who you are. In this message, Pastor Cory opens a new series on identity in Christ—how God sees you, how the enemy attacks that picture, and how a new family line changes everything once you are born again.

You’re not defined by your last name, your past, your family history, or the labels culture hands you. When you gave your life to Jesus, you were crucified with Christ, raised with Him, and seated with Him. Old things have passed away. You became a new creation—fused with the Spirit of God.

This teaching walks through Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 5:20, Ephesians 2:4–6, and Romans 8:9–11 and calls us to stop identifying with struggle and start identifying with the Son. Sons and daughters don’t stand outside the door. They walk in.

If you’ve ever felt unworthy, stuck in family patterns, or unsure who you really are, this word is for you.

If you’re believing God for healing, provision, family, or anything that looks impossible in the natural, this word is for you. Abraham didn’t wait to see Isaac before he believed. He took God at His word, refused to consider the deadness of his own body or Sarah’s womb, and stayed fully convinced that what God promised, God was able to perform.

In this message from Romans 4, Pastor Cory walks through the last half of the chapter and shows how faith actually works:
- The promise comes by faith so it can be according to grace
- God gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were
- Unwavering faith is strengthened by giving glory to God
- Being fully convinced is how the promise becomes visible

This is not positive thinking. This is standing on the same promise Abraham stood on—because everyone who believes is an heir of faithful Abraham.
