Boasting In God

How to boast in God

1. Know the Lord (Jeremiah 9:23-24)

-You can’t pray to a God you do not know.

2. Keep your mind fixed on God (Genesis 12: 1-5)

-Don’t let your prayer life be determined by your problems, they should be ignored.

- Boasting in God is not just a speech, it is a lifestyle.

- Do not focus your understanding of God to other people’s experiences.

- Our primary way of discovering God is through the scriptures.

God wants to be known and many of us do not really know Him. Job 42:5. What the Bible does for us is describe God but if you don not pursue what you have read in an experiential way we do not know God. Salvation is common but relationship is not. Romans 5. Justification by Faith is the access card to all of God.

It is possible to have a religion without a relationship; however the two must be there.

The first step is that you must count everything as loss. God's will is for us to be poor in the Spirit. That you are hungry and thirsty in the spirit and nothing can sanctify that thirst except God. Anything that you have in your life that you cannot let go off for God has taken the place of God in your life and must be silenced.

- Stop timing God in the place of prayers

- Have seasons where you take out ample time and just focus on God

- The first thing the Holy Spirit works on in a believer is his mindset.

- The reward of searching for God is God.

- Whenever we talk about prayer, we should always be reminded that we have full access to God.

The devil does not really want you or us to worship him. The idea the devil tries to purport is that we are the ruler of our own life, Placing our pleasure, comfort and satisfaction in place of God.

What Commands your desire?

Hedonism, the idea that life is all about pleasure. we want God as long as it does not inconvenient us. God as long as it is pleasurable for us,
