My God!
Here are some notes from the sermon today The Well🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Apostle, freed us on this rainy Sunday 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
✔️Moving into destiny won’t be easy, but consider this: you can’t act like those before you and still move with me.
✔️ You love your parents, but they didn’t always make the best decisions. Now, you are in a position to move differently.
✔️ Challenging him to examine everything he knew growing up.
✔️ To see my miracles, divorce yourself from what you’re used to seeing.
✔️ Moving into destiny requires you to shift where you put your energy.
✔️ Jesus was Jewish, but Christianity came about after He died and rose again because being a Christian is being like Christ.
✔️ Death – lifeless, destitute of power, or inactive.
✔️ The comfort that powerless things give us must be replaced with challenges to move into destiny.
✔️ There is no power in what you’re trying to go back to, so come over here. We’ve allowed powerless spaces and people to delay our moves.
✔️ Too caught up in what’s ending.
✔️ Does it hurt to walk away, or does it hurt to realize that you don’t even need it?
✔️ You don’t want to admit that you don’t need to be in that space, so you stay.
✔️ Incomplete grief: a traumatic experience occurring in the midst of your grieving.
✔️ God didn’t call you onto this boat to lose your mind.
✔️ Grief – not just for the dead, but for situations too.
✔️ When He asks, “Why are you afraid?” it’s not a rebuke. He may be inviting you to see why you allowed fear to become king.
✔️ He will rebuke the situation, but not you for being afraid.
✔️ Pay attention to the text: He was NOT mad because they woke Him up!
✔️ He is all-powerful and knows everything. Why would He be upset about something He was already expecting you to do when He invited you onto the boat?- 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
✔️ A lot of what you think is God is actually fear, anxiety, shame, and the voices of other people.
✔️ God sent His Son to die for you. Why would He be mad at you for asking for help?
✔️ He didn’t know that thing obeyed God.
✔️ It’s hard to have faith in something you have no concept of.-🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
✔️ He was allowing them to grow in their faith.-🙌🏼🙌🏼
✔️ It was always about seeing what else your God could do, not about the storm that was ahead.
✔️ You’ll miss the miracle if you get caught up in the storm instead of focusing on who will get you out of it.🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
✔️ Thinking something bad is about to happen in the presence of God is a trick of the enemy.🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
✔️ Not even death can separate you from God.
✔️ Some of the closest encounters will happen in the midst of your grieving.
✔️ Think about new beginnings during grief and after things have ended.
✔️ Though this grief is happening, I am closer to God than I am to the struggle.🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
✔️ You struggle with faith because you’ve never seen it done before.
✔️ God knows you can’t even begin to imagine all the things He can do for you.
✔️ They had enough faith to know that He could help them through whatever was coming their way.
✔️ You may not have seen Him do this before, but can you make an educated guess that He can?
✔️ What more of God's power am I about to experience when I am in fear?
✔️ Reframe your thinking so that doom has no more power over you.
✔️ You know God isn’t going to leave you here.
