Servanthood

Open yourself up to 'recieve' in ways other than your paycheck - pray that God will bring it in in other/multiple sources. Step out IN the provision. Trust God in it and believe God OUTSIDE of the paycheck!!! The word was designed to call us to action!!! You are called to do good works!!! James 1:22-25 Don't just be hearers of the word be doers of the word. How do you do the word, internalize it, and DO it? God has given me a personal word. (Acts 1, "Go and wait for the Holy Spirit," they were together and praying for 40 days - be as 1, love one another, serve 1 another. The Holy Spirit decends upon them, they speak with other tongues then they go out into the streets and preach) Every one of us has been given a word directly, there is a corporate word - how do we function as a church, there is a community word commanding us to go and tell. What kind of word do we get indiviually? Matt 16:24 the first word to be walked out is Lordship. (I'm God, you ...

Surviving the Elements

Surviving the Elements (after today we pray you won't go through storms the same way again. ) To survive the elements you need: Food Water Shelter You need these in the natural & the supernatural. Food= God's word - you will die without it. Heb 4:12;John 6:63; isaiah 55:11; John 1:1-2; Matt 24:35; Numbers 23:19 - when you stray away from the word you become an anorexic christian. Matt 4; mark 1; luke 4 - How Jesus stood against the devil Make a scripture list of topics of the things you are fighting against and everyday you pray, speak & believe that word. Matt 12:43-45 The danger of being empty - the devil comes back to tempt you in that area and brings evil back 7 times greater. The only power the enemy has is lies, manipulation and deception. Speak things out and it happens. Rebuke those lies from the devil. Col 2:13-15 Water = the Holy Spirit - illuminates the word - lack of water or the Holy Spirit can cause a dehydrated christian. (lethargic, dizz...

Building Godly Alliances

The company you keep and the relationships that you have are going to play a role in your life and walk with God. Alliance with the Holy Spirit - 1) the baptism of the Holy Spirit is only an introduction to Him. The Lord doesn't want us to live day to day without the Holy Spirit...He wants you to have a REAL relationship with Him. The person of the Holy Spirit wants you to know Him more. God wants you to go deeper with your relationship with the Holy Spirit. You need to depend more on the Holy Spirit. The Helper is on the inside of you...don't LIMIT the Holy Spirit. You can limit God's work in you but you shouldn't. Don't let anything hinder the Holy Spirit. Do you believe the word of God more than your external circumstances? The Spirit of the Living God is on the inside of you. John 16:7 Talk to the Holy Spirit FIRST! Pray in tongues about it! 1 John 2:20 Pray in tongues MORE!!! The Holy Spirit is your comforter. Just because you don't see the Holy S...

Deny Yourself

John 12:23-26 1st part of the plan is to die to yourself. Self always reverts back to self...we like to be comfortable. Self always leads you away from what God calls you to do. Deny your self John 13:12-17 be a servant because servanthood kills 'self'. John 14:12-14 continue to do the work that Jesus has been doing. Eph 2:8-10 you aren't saved through works but you were created and called to do good works. What did He do? What are we called to do? Reveal the Father (reveal the unseen God) He came to serve To preach the good news of the gospel Division by showing others there is life or death...choose life! Testify to the truth that God is real and who He said He is. Destroy the works of the enemy - by dying to self, serve others and love others. Proclaim freedom for the believers and to give life
