Living the Abundant Life Christian Center Dr. Samuel Meredith

God will send us to our place of employment so He can work with us and confirm His word in us. His goal is to use us to make that place prosper. He wants to distinguish us from the other employees. He wants us to live a life of power, meaning He will confirm His word in us through signs.

In life we all have to go through things. What we do while we are going through will be revealed at the end. If we allow God to help us, we won't look like what we have been through. If we focus on the negative while enduring, we may become a negative person. Allow God to comfort you while you are going through the hardships of life.

The enemy will use our desire to please God against us through deception. Many times the enemy will give us an idea or thought behind a move of God and spiritualize this idea. Can this idea stand alone? if not, it is not from God. Our ability to distinguish between an instruction from God followed by an instruction from the enemy will be vital to us reaching our destiny.

When we are serving, are we ministering from our soul or the Spirit? Ministering from the soul or flesh looks like the Spirit. When playing, singing, teaching or preaching from the soul it always connects to a person's intellect and emotions. This makes them feel good but it has no power. When one minister's by the Spirit, they are uplifted and they see their issues from God's point of view resulting in deliverance, salvation and healing.

Divine connections are made by God when He joins two individuals together. Sometimes the relationship will be  father-son (mother-daughter), brothers or sisters, and husbands and wives. Divine connections are always a two way street, meaning it will be beneficial for both parties. However, the enemy will try to strategically influence us to sever these connections.

We must discern when God is moving in our everyday lives. We learn how to discern when we are in His presence and when we read His word. When we are in His presence we experience Him. When we are at a fork in the road, we will sense this divine fingerprint and we will know what to do. Other times when we are at a fork, His word will come to us guiding us to the right choice.

The enemy will use negative outcomes from premarital sex to negatively impact our intimacy with our spouse. Because of this, sometimes it can be difficult to connect with our spouse during intimacy. The scriptures says, "When we engage in sexual immorality, we sin against our own body."  In this sermon we will uncover some of theses attacks and discover God's remedy for this problem.

Everything we do in word or deed should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus or in love. When we practice love we can receive the benefits. But if we practice operating in the flesh, we will give an opportunity for the enemy to attack us. A step out of love is a step into sin. Faith operates by love.

Signs and Wonders will follow them that believe. Signs and wonders are always indicative to your God given assignment. In other words, what ever miracle you need on your God given journey,  God will provide.

God has given us power over sickness. We were told to lay hands on the sick and they will recover. To see this manifestation we must walk in our authority. To walk in our authority we must be vertically aligned with the father, in other words we must be on our God given assignment and walk in obedience. We must also be horizontally aligned with our brothers and sisters, meaning we must walk in love with everyone.
