God wants all of you so that you can have all of Him.  He wants our hearts.  Live according to the word.

 

What does it mean to be spiritually whole?  A state of being (Complete, restored, unbroken, soundness-integrity, encompassing physical- spiritual, and emotional well being, spiritual maturity and conformity)

Having the mindset of Christ is possible.

There is a great shaking on the Earth. Only what pleases Him remains.

Matt 22:37-40

God wants:

1. Heart:

How do you love the Lord with all your heart and mind?

Involves a complete and devoted surrender to God’s will in every aspect of your being. Prioritize God above all else, seeking to know Him through His word and actively aligning your thoughts and your emotions and your actions with commands and character.

Let’s talk about the heart: affection and devotion.

Loving God with you heart means giving him great affection, devotion and to treasure Him above all else.

Prioritizing God: Involves making God the center of your life, seeking him in all you do, and making decisions that align with His will.

2. Soul

Spiritual Life:

Loving God with all your soul means finding your satisfaction and fulfillment in Him experiencing a deep  connection with the Holy Spirit.

Spiritual Growth:

Involves nurturing your spiritual life through prayer, reading the scripture, seeking to understand God’s will for your life.

3. Mind

You must have engagement with God.

Loving God with your mind involves actively seeking the knowledge of God, studying His word and allowing the knowledge to shape your understanding of the world and your actions.

(Obedience and Discernment)

It means making decisions and aligning with His commandments and His character. Using your intelligence to discern His will in your daily life.

The best example that I can think of:  you are going to have to get involved reading the word, seeking wisdom through prayer, striving to understand God’s word and apply it to your life.  Ask the Holy Spirit. He’s your guide,He’s your comforter. He’ll explain it to you and give you wisdom on how to apply it.

Luke 15:4-7,Romans 12:1-2

Being spiritually whole means having a sense of completeness and harmony in your relationship with God, and being full of God’s love.

Eph. 6:10-17

Put on the whole armor of God.

Romans 8:26-28 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

You are more than a physical body, you are also a spiritual body.When you follow God

you have the favor of God. Learn to listen.

1 John 5:14-15 He leads us to the complete purpose of God. Why is satan attacking the church? Remnant-God is your hiding place. Go this way-be obedient. He guides us into the complete purpose of God.

1.  What does it mean to be guided by God?

He gives us certain instructions and directions and calls us to trust Him with conscious co-operation. God always speaks to our hearts if we will listen..

2.  We have to choose-when He says go this way.  It is our responsiblity to either follow or disobey.

3. Remember God has given us the gift of freewill so that we are able to choose for ourselves and mak our decisions. You don’t have to obey.  If you don’t, He will raise up someone else.

Ps 32:7-8

From Guidepost

The article is How do you let go and let God take full control?

Identify what you can control and what you can’t control.

Make a decision and let go and let God be in control.

Surrender all that you can’t control into the hands of God.

SUrrender all of your fears when you don’t know what to do concerning the voice of God and the Will of God will be big enought to handle what you can’t.

And the last thing-let go of your will and trust God with everything. 

God wants to conquer your fears. Choose to let go. 

God, I have faith in you and I trust you. 

Ps 143:5, Ps 143:6-12

Ps 144:1-15 This whole chapter will lead you into a life of victory.  It is a powerful jump start in your walk with God.

Eph 6:10 Be strong in the Lord and the Power of His might. God never told you to stand in your own strength. The battle is not yours. We have to let God lead. Why does God give us hard things to do? It doesn’t matter how long. There is a price for the anointing. At the right time, He will lead you.

Heb 11:8

Major Principles of Faith

1. Faith is being certain. Even when we can’t see it, we believe it is a reality.

2. Faith is always based on God’s Word. (He said it, we believe it.)

3.  True faith in God’s Word will always be expressed in action, with standing by faith or waiting by faith, believing that it will come to pass. No doubt that is true faith.

4. Definition-faith is reality

Foundation- our faith in God, What He promised He will do.

Expression-God is with you.

Gen 15:6. Abraham believed the Lord.

Abraham is called the Father of Faith.

Romans 4 and Gal 3 (He leads but you have to listen)

Look at so many in the BIble.

Able-learned by faith to give God his first portion

Enoch-Faith means believing in God’s goodness.

Noah- Heeded God’s warning.

Remember, God shut the door.

Let God Lead. Remember, Father knows best.

That’s only a few that were lead by God.

1. To be lead by God you have to fall in love with Him and His word, He is the Word. As we seek Him, He will answer you. It all begins with hunger and a desire for more. I is a lifetime relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

2. I can promise you, if you really want God to lead your life never turning back-

I can say without a doubt, youi will say, like I did years ago-“Why didn’t I do it sooner?”

He leads, He guides, We follow

The Power of His Might Pt. 1

Pastor Gloria Sunday Morning

 

Eph 6:10 Finally, be strong in the power of His might.

1. Meaning to be in spiritual union with Christ and the Holy Spirit.

2. Open your heart to receive His strength not our own.

3. Strength is often linked to God’s power.

4. Unlimited power of Christ is our source of strength (for those who belong to Him.)

Jeremiah 9:23-24

Mark 14:38 No matter how strong we think we are, the flesh is weak. Weakness is inherent in human nature, the Lord commend us to His strength.

2 Cor 12:9, Psalm 150:2, Hab 3:19, Phil 4:13 If we align ourselves with the strength of God our total submission to Him; then we are able to withstand the wiles of the evil one. Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Ps 84:5

Praise God, there is nothing like living in His presence.  As God’s children we are always strengthened by His grace.

Heb. 13:9 Only time spent in prayer (talking to God) God promises your efforts will be rewarded. Luke 18:1 (Never lose heart)

Gal 6:9, Isaiah 40:31. 

What did Paul mean when he said Be strong in the Lord?

It means we need to learn to be reliant on the Lord, instead of ourselves.

 

He Leads, Guides, We Follow

Jesus overcame the world.

Romans 8:37-39 We are more than conquerors. Learn to conquer. Check yourself all the time. We are all our own worst enemy. We don’t want to admit when we are wrong.  Learn to conquer. Let things go- don’t take it to heart. Learn the voice of God. Sickness is in the world because of sin. Get into the Word- Live it out in the world.  Learn to conquer some things.

1 Corinthians 1:57-58 God gives us victory. Follow the Word to live a victorious life.

John 16:33 I have said these things to you that in Me you may have peace… Learn to walk in victory. Shake off the snake.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ…Live by faith… Apply yourself to relationship with Jesus.

Ephesians 5:2  Walk in Love…

Revelation 1:4-5 Grace to you and peace….

Revelation 3:9-11 Patient Endurance…It’s not all about you. Jesus is coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so no one can seize your crown.

1. The Victorious Christian life is the life that is lived by Faith. Hebrews 11.

2.  It is total surrender to God (1 John 14:27) It’s knowing God’s Peace. (John 16:33)

4.  Trouble or hardship or perserverance. (Romans 8:35)

5.  Overcoming every temptation the devil may come against you with (1 Corinthians 10:13)

6.  Because Heaven is your strength when you call on the powerful name of Jesus and the Blood will never lose its power. (Ephesians 2:13)

These are your keys (Use them every moment of every day)

let your life always be glorying to the one who has called you out of darkness into the light.

You have to seek after God. 

Resolve-Strong determination to do something. Decide.  To rule over your own flesh, your own mind. Settle it.  Sometimes you are your greatest enemy.

1 King 19:20

And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Let me kiss my father and my mothe, and then I will follow you.”  And he sid to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?”  Too late to turn back.

1. The Call of Elijah

Make your mind up what kind of life are you going to live?

Matt 8:18-28 Now, when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, he gave orders to go to over to the other side.  

(The cost of following Jesus)  Read the rest of the chapter.

Luke 9:61-62

Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.  ”  Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.

(I will follow you but—on my term)

Luke 10:1-3 When God speaks, Listen

After this the Lord appointed seventy two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he was about to go.  2) and hre said to them, the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.  Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the Harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.  3)Go your way: behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the mist of wolves.

(He sends us forth surroiunded by the Holy Spirit and Heaven’s Armies)

2 King 3:10-11  Then the king of Israel said, Alas! The Lord has called these three KIngs to give them into the hand of Moab,”

1. And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may inquire of the Lord?”  Then one of the kings of Israel’s servants answered, Elisha the son of shaphat , is here who poured water on the hand of ELijah.

2 Kinga 2:12-13  And ELisha saw it and he cried, “My father, My father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”  And he saw him no more.  Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. 13 And he took up the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. Readthe rest of this, so powerful!

Elijah- Elisha- Joseph- from the pit to the palace.

2 Kings 9:1

Then Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, TIe up your garments and take this flak of oil in oyour  hand and go to Ramoth. And when  you arrive, look for Jehu.

WE MUST LEARN TO FOLLOW THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

1.  JUST DO IT GODS WAY

2. LEARN TO WAIT , WHEN HE SAYS IT IS TIME, GO FORWARD

3.  KEEP YOUR HEART OPEN TO THE VICE

4.  BE STEADFAST IN YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD

ARE YOU OPEN  AND READY FOR THE MANTLE OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE??

Luke 10:1-3  After this the Lord appointed seventy two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two.  “Go your way; behold I am sending you out.”  God gives the call to our lives ( a mantle is not ours for the choosing.  It is determined ahead by God.)

God is bigger than your struggles.   You cannot figure out what God will do next.  Let the Holy Spirit guide and direct your life. God lifts your burdens. Let God take over. Be careful whose side you are on. He goes before you.  He keeps His promises.

Romans 8:25  Comfort through the storm, we must be persistent in our beliefs. (A feeling of certainty that something is true, or a conviction that someone or something is trustworthy or exists (belief can be religious or political. Trust, faith or confidence that’s a must)If you have full trust in Jesus, you should be resting through life’s storms (the word patience is perserverence)

God plants you where He wants you. 

The Greek word for patience-perserverence is derived from two words (remaining and behind).  When we don’t see what we are hoping for, we remain behind.

Romans 8:26-27 You have to let Him help you.  Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  For we do not know what to pray as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groaning too deep for words.

Zechariah 12:10 This verse is so deep only the Spirit of God can speak to the heart of the Father about.

Colossians 1:4-5

4- Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of love that you have for all the saints.

5- Because of the hope laid up for you in Heaven.  Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel. 

Hope  is the forerunner to faith and love.  Be patient and rejoice in what you have.

SO HOW DO WE GET TO THAT PLACE IN GOD?

1.  Set a goal. Setting a goal is the process of deciding what you want to achieve, taking a step to moving forward for the kingdom of God.

2.  Dive into your goal, with the help of the Holy Spirit.  He will show you, and lead you in the path you must take.

3.  Remember His ways are higher than ours.

4.  Psalm 43:3-5 Send our your light and your truths let them lead me.

5.  Why are you cast down O my soul?

And why are you in turmoil within me?

Hope in God: for I shall prise Him,

My salvation and my God.

RESTORING HOPE BACK TO THE BODY OF CHRIST IN UNITY

Becasue Hope, Faith, Trust, Love is the only thing that cxan heal our nation and the world.  It’s going to take God’s grace and mercy to help us all.

CHURCH, THIS IS IN OUR HANDS
