11 October 2015 Ps Janine Harris - Prayer.

Prayer is a

Kingdom principle/culture.

 - Prayer is not to be treated as special, but

should be a staple, and used regularly.

 - "Without God, man cannot", "Without

man, God cannot".

 - Prayer is an Earthly licence for Heavenly

intervention.

 - God gave us legal authority,(in Genesis).

Genesis 2:7

- Man became.

 - We are spirit beings in a human body.

 - Any spirit needs a body to exist. Any spirit

without a human body on Earth, is illegal. So we have the authority to kick out

evil spirits.

 - When we die, we become absent in the body,

and present with the spirit/ eternity.

 - When God speaks, every word becomes law.

 - The devil is 100% spirit, so is illegal on

Earth, and needs to find a body to continue to exist.

 - Satan knows the heart of God, and that God

won't break his word.

Isaiah 7:14

- Immanuel, ( God with/ in us).

 - Jesus came to Earth 100% man, so he didn't

break Gods word.

 - If we stop praying, heaven stops working.

 - If we continue to pray, we give permission

for Heaven to work on Earth.

 - Pray without ceasing!, to bring Heaven to

Earth.

  - " I've got the authority, He's got the

power!".

1.- Death

 2.- Hell

 3.- the grave

 These were the three keys Jesus took from Satan,

in the three days after his crucifixion.

4 October 2015 Ps Andrew Harper - Eph Pt 7

Eph 2:11 -

Differences and peace.

 - We won't have peace on Earth in our lifetime.

 - There is always going to be conflicts, until

the coming of Christ.

 - Christ wants us to act as one.

Some of the

differences are -

 - Religious differences.

 - Cultural differences.

 - God wants us to break down these divisions.

 - The Jewish leaders used to teach, that the

Gentiles,(us), were created to keep the fires of hell burning. (extreme

racism).

 - Now we're shown how to be, through Jesus.

:12 - We

are now in Christ, because,

1. - We  were aliens, - now we're family, through Gods

covenant, by accepting Christ.

3. - No

hope, - because the Gentiles believed they had no connection to God, until Paul

taught them that once they accepted Christ into their lives, they receive Gods

favour/ covenant. And are Gods chosen people. And no- one holds more favour

with God than others. We are all equal in Gods eyes.

:13 -

Before coming to Christ, no favour/ covenant.

 - There is only one way to God. Through Jesus

Christ. ("No-one comes to the father, but through me"), Christ.

20 September 2015 Ps Andrew Harper - Ephesians Pt 6?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

Eph 2:1-10

-Dead in trespasses and sin.

:4 - By

grace we are saved.

4 - We are

positioned with Christ in a position of victory.

 - The big picture reason for God saving us, is

for us to have eternity.

:7 - In

ages to come, that God can show us his grace and kindness toward us in Jesus

Christ.

 - We had to be created with free will, so it

is up to us decide our eternity.

 - Nowhere does God force us to become

Christian. We must chose for ourselves.

8-9. Q. -

How should we respond to God's gift?

A -

Recognise that salvation is not from anything we've done, but rather than only

by what Jesus has done for us.

 - Other religions talk about the things you

have to do to receive salvation. But the truth is. Christianity is the opposite,

because there is nothing we can do to gain salvation. All we need to do is

believe in Christ, and the sacrifice he made for us to receive salvation.

 - Light and darkness can't exist together.

Once light is introduced to darkness, darkness disappears.

10 - Q -

What are we created to do?

A - To

reflect on what Jesus has done for us. And we are called to do good works,

because we love God.

10 - Love

of God compels us to do what God wants us to do, that God has prepared

beforehand.

 - We are his workmanship, which is, ( a work

of art, or masterpiece). Because we are created in God's image.

 - God has loved us before we loved him.

13 September 2015 - Ps Andrew Harper - Ephesians Pt 5?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

 - The caring church.

Ephesians

2:1 - We are saved from 6 things.

1. -

Spiritual death.

2. - Sin.

3. - Saved

from the patterns of worldly living, but living in a Godly way.

4. - Satan/

Evil, (Kaos).

5. - Saved

from our old nature, ( sin).

6. - Saved

from the wrath of God.

 Ephesians 2:2 - The daemonic realm is real.

 - Satan has authority over all evil things.

 - He is the defeated enemy, that hasn't been

judged yet.

 - Evil can't be defeated by doing nothing.

 - By doing nothing, you are going backwards.

 - We have to be vigilant in Christs name.

 - Read Gods word, (The bible).

 - Speak to God, (Pray).

 - Live Gods way, (knowledge).

God gives

us plans of attack and defence.

 - If we don't have Christ in us, we can be

drawn back to sin.

Eph 2:4 -

Gods mercy and justice, meet at/in Christ. So if people wrong you. You are

covered in Gods justice.

 - The devil overstepped his authority with the

crucifiction of Christ. Because Christ was sinless.

 - Don't underestimate God, Justice is in Gods

nature.

 - The definition of sin, is stepping outside

of what God wants for us.

 - When we sin, there will be consequences.

 - God doesn't  protect us from sin, but Gods nature of

justice, keeps us accountable.

6 September 2015 Ps Jack Harris - Identity/ fathers day.

Deuteronomy

5:9-10

 - Mothers give children a sense of security.

 - Fathers give children a sense of identity.

 - Turn away from idols.

 - Men and women think differently, and god

sees us differently.

 - Fathers have the ability to change

generations, for good and for bad.

 - God wants us to praise and worship him, so

he can bless us forr thousands of generations.

 - fatherhood is a choice. And is a noun, as

well as a verb, ( be and do).
