기도의 능력 믿음의 능력

막11:20-25

power of faith - 기도의능력

necessity of forgiveness

내가변화돼야한다!!

복의근원은 공동체적어원이다

한사람한사람을 소중히 여기는 교회 공동체

모범을 보이며 말과 행동으로 가르쳐야 한다
Don't do as I do. Do as I say. 이러면 안된다.

전도를 잘할려면 밥커피등을 잘 사줘야한다

위로할줄알아야하고, 이해할줄알아야하고, 헤아릴줄알아야한다.

상처주지말고 보듬어줘야한다.

듣다보면 믿음이생긴다.

놀다보면 먹다보면 서당개삼년이라고 우선 교회로 데리고 와야 한다.

성령은 기도하는데로 찾아오신다

성령의능력을사모해야한다.

주님이주신다!!

믿고기도하면은혜와영광이임한다

예수재림을날마다믿는사람

성령은미친사람도고쳐쓰시는능력이있다

재림을기다리는사람이똑바로산다 악을미워한다 선하게산다 선과사랑에힘쓴다

시작을 할때는 끝을보고  시작하라. 어떤 끝을 보고싶은지 먼저 그려 놔야 끝맺음을 잘 맺을수 있고 그 과정도 훨씬 즐겁고 수월하게 행할수 있다.

믿음은 죽도록 의지하는것이다. 믿음은 죽기아니면 까무러치기로 믿는것이다. 인생은 내 믿음데로 되는것이다.

믿음의 관계에서는 항상 서로 100대 100을 주어야 한다. 내가 50주고 상대방이 50주는 계산적인 관계는 절대 온전해질수 없다. 서로 100을 주어야 시너지 효과를 내며 온전한 믿음의 관계를 맺을수 있다.

기도는 지성소로 들어가는 나를 겸비하고 성화시키고 순결하고 거룩하게 하는 과정이다. 그래야만 지성소로 들어갈수 있고 진정 하나님을 만나고 체험할수 있는것이다.

Change yourself

Galatians 1:6 - Paul is surprised people are quickly deserting grace and turning to 'different' gospel - grace v. religion - relationship v. rules

1. How to become 'godly' - choice between tree of life and tree of 'knowledge' (die) - devil tempted Eve to become 'godly' - wrong choice leads to loss of innocence and shame - must choose obedience and life

2. One focuses on what you do v. One focuses on what Jesus has done - how much Jesus I can find in what I have read or done - scriptures testify about Jesus and to get close to Jesus

3. One focuses on getting God's approval v. One focuses on receiving God's love that is unending - God demonstrated love while we were still sinners - we love because he first loved

4. One focuses on external duty v. One focuses on internal desire - God thank you for choosing me - 1John 5:3 This is how you Love God

Action:

A. Fall in Love with Jesus - for who he is and what he has done - if you love you will without even thinking about it

B. Don't allow condemnation - Jesus commands - law of spirit gives life and freedom

C. Make the choice everyday

Galatians 2 - How do we keep from going back to our old ways/life?

Peters eating w gentiles then shun due to Jewish peer pressure

Paul says you know Jesus not by rule-keeping but through Personal Faith - natural man v. God man

I have been crucified with Christ - must live and die with Christ - 1. deny yourself 2. take up the cross 3. follow Jesus - the more I die, the more I live

We want circumstances to change, God wants to change me and you - us

Paul - I die every day

Face grounded - no where to fall when once low

Action steps:

1. Humility - freedom

2. Crucify flesh - passion and desires that go against God - choose for yourself this day; we will serve the Lord

3. Choices - live for God

4. Crucify the world

5. Separation - 2 corinthians 6

Love God Love People

Isaiah 49 - God engraved our names on his palms - even though we feel forsaken,God will not forget us-

Engraved means more than tattoo - it is engraving with chisel and hammer - which reminds us of the cross

We are freeloading off of God's goodness like a baby off mother and father - there is no way for us to pay him back

Even then God delights in us and God aches for us- that is why he traded places with us for us -

Behold the throne of God above

God made you so God can love you; God made you so you can love God. Loving relationship for a complete life.

God made you so you can be the salt and the light in the world. God made you to love your neighbor.

Sprinkle influence. Enhance the flavor. Preserve and transform by the renewing of your mind.

God loved me when I was dirty filthy sinful etc. So I love you neighbor.

Galatians 5 - Only thing that matters is faith expressing itself through love

Galatians 6 - Sphere of influence / place of need / people have many needs and each one of us have influence

This is the new command: Love one another

1. Who we love - three threats (a) distractions (b) distance (c) discouragement (ex) bad experience at a restaurant don't stop you from eating. bad experience with one relationship shouldn't stop you from having other relationship

2. How we love - by paying the cost - not about being nice but doing just and righteous things

3. When we love - world will notice -

Are you loved this way?

Are you loving this way?

Planning and execution

Proverbs 29:18 - can't see God, then we stumble; if we see clearly, then prophesy, visions, and dreams

does it line up with bible, christ, spiritual authority confirmation, and  focused on others

Joseph had a dream and told it to brothers; they mocked Joseph and hated him all the more and planned to kill him; eventually sold to Egypt - God developed Joseph's character because Joseph needed it for God to fulfil the dream

God forgave sin past, present, and future. Bible characters all had issues. Satan tells us we are not qualified. But God choose those and use them.

Thank God, God gives strength, consider me faithful and appoint me to service

1. Things don't start off well

2. Journey is full of surprises

Romans 8:28 - In all things God works for good according to his purpose

3. Takes long time to realize it

Habakkuk 2:3 - do not despair, be patient, plan will be fulfilled

Do not give up

Apply

1. Recognize and value the process

Take it away v what are you trying to teach me

Be truly Glad. Trials will show your faith is genuine. 1 Peter 1:6-7

James 1:2-3

2. Refuse to let offense top you

Resentment is dream killer - must learn to forgive

People intend to harm, but God intend it for good

Ephesians 6:12

Enemy is not people, enemy is the devil

3. Remember always God is always with me

Food for Our Spirit

2 Cor 6:14-7:1

Our body is temple of living God. Be separate. Promises. Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates.

Starve - Mind

1. Doubt - unbelief - world news - TRUST what God says - lean not on your own understanding

2. Negativity - discipline - Think what God thinks - perfect peace - Let everything you say be good and helpful to encourage and build

3. Sin - secret to overcome sin is to redirect your aim and mark in life - Turn to what God wants - Repentance - Give yourselves completely to God - use your body to do right and give glory to God

Feed - application

1. Gods word - Happy are those who reject the advice of evil man Psalms 1:1-2

2. Worship - we are being defined by those things we cannot live without - secular v spiritual - Philippians 4:8-9

3. Prayer - 2 Chronicles 7:14 - forgiven and restored

Church Vision

Luke 14:23 - so my house will be FULL

Ephesians 5:15

Kairos: supreme moment or opportunity - must be driven through with force if success is to be achieved
