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.

Passion
You will never have passion for anything you don’t esteem higher than yourself.
We are full of God whether we feel it or not. If God be for you, who can be against you? The spirit of God is upon us, not just in us.
Your passion brings an unleashing effect. God won’t overwhelm you without your permission.
What God did 20 years ago won’t compare to the Holy Spirit that will be released on these young people.
Your passion is the kindling wood of that fire. Get your passion back. The Lord will use the sword to cut off your enemies. Stir up your passion. God wants your passion.

Playing the Game
Text: Mark 8.22-25, Isaiah 61.1-3, 55.12, Matthew 3.8-10, 7.17-18, 5.13-16, Isaiah 8.18
Strategy- plan of action designed to achieve a major or overall aim
There are strategic people, places, and moves of God.
Don’t discount what seems to be small, insignificant moves.
Acceleration- change in speed or direction
Sometimes God has to position us before accelerating us.
Bethsaida- house of fish
He is positioning us for the greatest harvest the world has ever seen.
Blindness- blinded by sin before Jesus touched him, unaware of the reality around him, oblivious, ignorant of what God was doing
He is taking us out of our desire into what He desires for us. He is calling us out of the world and out of our flesh to empower us to be His true governing body throughout the earth.
Jesus’ saliva represented that His body carries the power to completely heal, save, deliver, and transform.
Men as trees- trees have branches, twigs, and flowers to bear fruit to nourish the hungry, needed for life. Relationship with God should bear fruit of changed relationships and moral character.
Four levels of creation:
-Mineral
-Vegetable
-Animal
-Man
You’re going to need the men you see to produce the life of God.
He is cutting away the spirit of religion.
How do you see yourself?
We need to see ourselves the way Jesus sees us. We have been pursuing purpose but we are the purpose. Christ in you, the hope of glory. If you want glory, then show up. We are the expression of His glory in the earth. Quit looking for a place to go and just be.
You’re supposed to be
-a sign; point the way for others
-a wonder; to make people think
-a light; illuminate the way
How do we see others?
We have to see people through the spirit of God. Immerse yourself in the holy spirit. We’ve got to start believing who God says we are: anointed and appointed.

In the Midst of the Storm
Text: Matthew 8.23-27, John 16.33, 2 Timothy 3.1, 1 Corinthians 10.13, Matthew 8.25, 1 John 1.9, Hebrews 10.25, Psalm 92.13, Ephesians 4.16, Ecclesiastes 4.9
Why do storms come?
-weakness of our flesh
-our decisions
-economics
-politics
-media
-religion
We struggle to find our purpose when we think it’s a destination. What if your purpose is to live with His breath in your lungs everywhere you go? Kingdom is life within me. We’ve been doing church instead of being the church; going to church instead of acting like the church.
Just because storms come doesn’t mean it has to destroy you.
-The storm in us can magnify the storms around us. Jesus was commanding the peace inside the disciples just as much as the wind and the waves. We have to find a place of greater peace with God. It’s time for believers to be all in.
-It’s time to get fully in the boat; the boat was made to weather the storm. The boat represents God’s church. It’s time to belong.
-We’ve got to work with the people around us. We’re not called to do this alone. If you’re not connected then you’re not growing. Who we connect with is greatly important. We grow and go deep together.
What kind of person in the boat are you? Are you creating fear or an encourager?
-It’s time to be filled with the spirit and operating in the spirit. We can operate in miracles. We can move through the storms of life by the spirit of God in us.

When the Righteous Rule
Text: Proverbs 29.2, 21.2, 12.15, Isaiah 64.6, Philippians 3.8-10, Isaiah 53.5, Deuteronomy 6.4
Who are the righteous? There’s a difference between good and bad, light and dark, righteous and unrighteous. There is no middle ground.
Righteousness: acting in accordance with moral law
What is your standard of righteousness?
Feelings are a reality but that doesn’t make
them God.
The righteous are those who believe in and adapt to Jesus and His ways. The righteousness of God produces the power of resurrection in our lives.
Transgression: inequity, wickedness
If the church isn’t living right then why would the world even look? God values freedom so much that He gave you a will to choose how you want to live.
God sets patterns to protect you from what will destroy you, not to keep you from being fulfilled.
We’ve got to make up our own mind to live right. Sin is missing the mark and there is a consequence. Grace is giving you another opportunity to get into the right position before God.
He expects us to be other than. The church is depending on signs and wonders to get the world’s attention instead of our own changed lives.
There is a position for righteousness. We can’t demand righteousness of others if we aren’t living right. It starts with us.
We’ve got to be righteous in our community so that our churches are governing our cities again.
