Topic: Ministering unto the Lord

 

Description: Ministering unto the Lord goes into prayer of praise, thanksgiving and worship.  When we come to church the minister, preacher or teacher ministers onto us.  We are always ministering to one another and this is good as well.  However, when do we minister unto the Lord.  When we petition unto God, we are asking Him to change some things because God will change His mind for you.  Instead of coming to pray or petition God to do something for us, give Him something we know he loves.  Minister unto Him in praise, worship and thanksgiving.  The first church at Antioch were on one accord by ministering and fasting unto the Lord.  They asked for nothing, they knew that fasting is not necessarily ministering, but submission unto God as a prayer of submission and consecration unto God.  The people gave God the highest type of prayer praise and worship.

Topic: The word is not bound, God our restorer

Description: The word of God is not bound, but is free.  We all suffer through some things in life before we reign.  Timothy is being encouraged by his spiritual father Paul to know/remember that God is a restorer.  We have power on the inside that we aren't aware of.

Scriptures to reference: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; John 8:36; Ephesians 2:1-2

Topic: Our position in Christ

Description: We have an adversary who goes around seeking whom he can devour.  He tries to control the minds of the people or plant seeds to directly disobey God in order to cut off their blessings.  We have weapons to battle the imaginations and the knowledge that tries to bring us down, we cant use flesh to fight this warfare.  The devil is realizing he is running out of time. We are in a REAL battle.  As Jesus the carpenter is working on us.. there is no change.  We walk in a carnal state and think we are going to heaven.  If the devil can have us to doubt the power we have, who will pick up that mantel?  God has given us amazing power to cast out devils and heal the sick among many other weapons.  God doesn't want performance he wants change.

Scriptures to reference: Proverbs 13:15; Matthew 24:12; 1 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 3:12

Topic: The state of "Offense"

Description: In the last days many will be offended.  Offended at God, offended by people, of themselves, of their lives, storms and even tribulations.  God says to take notes because sometimes when we get messages of preparation and asking big, we fail to see that the enemy see we are getting an abundance of blessings and we allow the little foxes to spoil the vine.  We are not watching and praying so we are easily offended.  Offended because someone didn't come through for us or offended by what was said to or about us.  Offense will keep you out of the kingdom.  Good understanding brings favor, but when we turn from God it gets HARD.  Your love for God will wax cold due to the iniquity that abounds... take notes.  Don't let offense take root in YOUR heart.

Scriptures to reference: Genesis 26:12-14, Ephesians 3:20, Revelation 3:8, Exodus 3:8, Numbers 13:27, Deuteronomy 8:8, Jeremiah 2:7, 2 Chronicles 9:20

Topic: What happens when you know you are created but don't know why

Description: You cant ask BIG if your preparation is small.  What you go through in your walk is not to bring blessings, but to build character for the blessings.  Understand that God has already brag on you to the enemy.  Whatever you are asking God for, look for it NOW not tomorrow, not next week or later.  It's all according to your belief.  Oftentimes, we can have a thought and God will simply do it.  Nothing can happen if you are not believing or expecting.  If you think small you will act small.  Be consistent in your desires and wants, confess what you are expecting.

Scriptures to reference: Genesis 1:1-11

Topic: Speaking in Faith

Description: It takes faith to believe, we must profess or confess in order to possess.  From the beginning God has been "saying" something.  Speaking always follow believing.  God has spoken provision for us ahead of time and it has already been given to us.  We must profess or confess what we believe or know that we already have for the release of the possession.  Plant seeds in your life that will resemble the word of God and confess... then just thank Him because you already have it!

Scriptures to reference: Romans 10:8-9

Topic: Faith

Description: Everything in the word of God is hinged on faith.  We can not receive what God has for us without faith.  We were saved by faith, we should walk by faith, we should live by faith and it is impossible to please God without faith.  Faith works for healing, finances and any other arena in your life.  Faith can not increase without the word of God.  Faith without confession will never work.  With my confession comes possession; therefore what I confess I possess.
