• If you don’t know what you fell from, you don’t know what you’ve been redeemed to.
• The principles of this kingdom are different than the world, so you have to do things differently.
• What works in the world will not work in the kingdom.
• Everything that is seen came from the invisible realm; everything that is unseen is higher than what is seen.
• Mark 4:1-12
• God is not fair; He is just
• Reasons why God doesn’t make Himself plain/easily seen
• When you see God, you can’t help but worship, but He wants to be chosen
• Matthew 11:1-11; 25-27
• When you shift, your best last year becomes your worst this year.
• The way to always hear from God is to have a child-like heart posture.
• If you understood everything you wouldn’t need your mind renewed.
• Romans 8:16
• You don’t read the Bible, the Bible reads you. How you respond to it locates your heart.
• Children have to embrace directions without understanding.
• There has to be a choice. That is why you have distractions every time you try to pray.
• The pursuit purges you.
• (Women need to be fought for. They get their value from being fought for)
• Becoming “as a child” means that you tell God that you are trusting Him without question. It doesn’t mean that you throw away your mind.
• In the old testament you had to stay away from sin (didn’t touch leprosy), in the New Testament, Jesus touched those with leprosy and He changed them.
• PRAYER: God, give me a reality of my righteousness.
• Luke 4:16-22 (their spirit bore witness to what Jesus said, but then the sin of familiarity kicked in)
• The reason people resist light is that they do not want to change.
• When I find myself not hungry, I ask God to make me hungry.
• Even people who do not serve God know that something happens when you commit.
• Five Things That Will Come At You When You Try To Serve God:
• Persecution, affliction,
• Getting married makes it harder to stay on track, not easier.
• Just because you didn’t see it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been revealed
• Sometimes God will give you the package you need, other times He will tell you to grow up and take it in whatever container it is given.
• God expects you to grow up and tune into wisdom and the anointing, not the package.
• WATCH WHAT YOU LISTEN TO!
• God allows you to be His judge for you in your life. However you receive Him is how He can work in your life.
• It’s how you think that determines what you see.
• God never gives you anything finished. You have to learn how to grow things. If you don’t learn how to grow things, he will give it to someone else.
