Living the Abundant Life Christian Center Dr. Samuel Meredith

God will protect us like a hen protects her chicks however, we must obey. When we obey, we are protected. Consequently,  to obey may cause us to be in a state of discomfort for a season.

Many times we may get the answer or step one from God. However, we often assume that because step one is anointed, that step two is also anointed. We must get every step from God so the entire process can be anointed.

When we hear a rhema word from God, we can have faith in that word. If we obey the word it will lead us to safety and our wealth place.

God wants us to depend only on Him. We often think that we depend only on Him but through test and trials we discover that we depend on money, personal abilities, and resources. When we grow to depend only on God, the blessing will come.

Many tines when God uses us in the supernatural, we are tempted to use our God given gifts for personal gain. We must remember, if we manipulate people to get our needs met, we will open up the door for the enemy to manipulate us.

When we are ministering to those who oppose the word we must be gentle. We must do the same when we are confronting individuals. If we answer with gentleness ,the Holy Spirit can do His part and draw the person to the truth.

The enemy has many schemes to deceive God's people. One of his tricks is to convince people that they can be entertained by fear without torment, however the Bible says that fear has torment. Discover how the enemy uses fear and what we can do to avoid his traps.

God will prompt our hearts to serve the church and people.  If we serve with all of our hearts,. God will use this service to prosper us in our own endeavors. 

We must be careful of offenses that are acceptable to society. These offenses are part of the norms for many people inside and outside of the church. Offense is a seductive weapon used by the enemy to keep us from the blessing.

As we obey God's Voice we will receive more revelation.  If we continue to obey and seek Him, we will walk in a season of revelation because we have learned to listen and obey His voice.
