Text: 2 Corinthians 9.8, Romans 5.2, Jeremiah 23.8, Psalm 147.3, Mark 11.22-25

Your faith changes God’s timetable. God will give you whatever you’re believing Him for. He desires to bring things to pass in your life.

Paul wasn’t looking for a circumstance to determine his leaving the earth but to when his course was finished.

There’s no situation that can bind itself to you that can’t be changed.

We are not emotionless zombies. Our emotions are like the check engine light. It doesn’t mean to go faster but to make repairs. Acknowledging our feelings shows us when we aren’t centered in God’s love.

God wants to put you in a situation where you can affect other people’s lives. You don’t have to be a minister to preach this glorious gospel.

Everything comes by faith. It’s not on you to get the job done. The enemy wants to stranglehold your supply. We are called to walk in faith. Faith is believing God.

It’s a fast skip from hope to faith but you can’t get into faith without hope. David killed the giant not just with his stone but with his words. David lifted his staff not as a weapon but as a reminder of all the enemies he had already defeated. David had a covenant and Goliath didn’t. David won with an old covenant. We walk in a much better covenant with better promises.

Jesus took care of sin forever and sat down. Priests were never seated because they were constantly making new sacrifices for new sins. Paul’s vision saw us seated with God in heavenly places.

Grace is not just unmerited favor but all the stuff required to live the life God has for you. Tell the devil to take his hands off of what you need. He walks as a roaring lion but he isn’t a roaring lion. Your faith is your hand reaching for what you need.

Our church is in a centurion moment. Jesus was in wide-eyed wonder that a Gentile centurion had more faith than the doctors of the law. This centurion loved the Jewish people and built a synagogue. Your giving opens doors. Your tithe represents your past but your offerings represent your future. Tithing is not a debt you owe but a seed you sow.

Faith always has a corresponding action. Mark 11.23 used the word believe once but the word saith three times. Start speaking the word.
