Praise God for the many men and women who were saved during the Dwelling Place Church service yesterday...
If you were not there you missed it and we missed you.
Here are the requested notes...
Key Text:
John 5:1-19
Sermon Title:
Stand Up!
Introduction:
Baby elephants are tied to a small stake with a tiny rope in hopes that they will discourage the idea of them being able to break free as they grow and become more mature and a fully developed adult elephant...
Gazelle's, as a new born are placed within a fence in hopes to train their mind not to try to jump out and be free no matter how strong and mature they are...
The devil tries to keep a believer hopeless and discouraged in difficulties in hopes that they will never truly break free and they will always think they are defeated...
But God!...
God says we are Victors and not Victims!
God says we are more than conquerers!
God says all things are possible to them who believe!
If we change our perspective and mind about our problems we can experience everything God has promised!
Change your mind, change your life!
It does NOT matter how long you have had a problem it can only take God a moment to fix it!...
The moment you make up your mind to:
1) Trust Him
2) Take action on Gods insruction
3) Testify of God's goodness
The moment you...
1) Don't give up but lift yourself up
2) Stop grieving and put on a garment of praise
The moment you LIFT yourself and look, listen, and live for God!
LIFT up!:
L-LOOK to God
I- Listen to God's INSTRUCTION and obedience
F-FAITH over fear & failure
T-TRUST in God (obedience can reverse the curse)
When you are tempted to lose hope, remember God is an ever present help. (Psalm 46:1/ Psalm 40:1-3)
In the midst of your infirmities, make your mind up to become more intimate with God. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
The more intimate you are with God the more you will experience the impossible (Philippians 4:6-8)
In your darkest moment allow God to minister to your deepest need (Colossians 2:10- Matthew 6:33-Phillippians 4:19)
Don't allow your hardship to cause you to lose hope. (God will help you triumph- Don't lose hope.)
God will use any hardship to draw you to him (James 1:24) Count It all joy!
When you hurt remember where your help comes from (Psalms 121, Romans 8:28, 1 Peter 4:13)
What looks to be a stumbling block, God can turn into a sudden blessing. (Genesis 50:20)
Don't get caught up in man-made rules and miss a God-made miracle.
(Focus on the miracle maker NOT the miracle)
Don't settle for the temporal when God desires us to experience the eternal. (bologna vs. steak)
We must turn from our sins and accept Jesus to experience spiritual healing
- God's forgiveness is the greatest gift....Don't neglect his gracious offer.
-The solution to your problem is easy in the eyes of the Lord. (2 Kings 3:18)
-Give God your problems, God will give you solutions.
If you were not there you missed it and we missed you.
