Real Life Church: God is the God of the Bible

Apart from Christ - life, death, and Resurrection - the universe has no meaning. Everything about Christ was prophesied and Nothing about Christ was expected.

The establishment of Cross and its significance from the beginning in the Garden of Eden, the Tree of LIFE.

We have an appointed time, a special time, a time that is our time. Sensitivity is key. We need to be sensitive to God's voice. He is the one that can change our Not Now to Right Now.

We think that God's yes means yes now and that God's not now means not ever! But the word YES is not the same word as NOW and DELAY is not DENIAL. If we desire for the will of God to be done in our lives we must submit to the timing of God.

Genesis 3:8 mention "they heard the sound of the Lord...." A sound always proceeds the presence of the Lord. The first step into recovery, redemption or restoration is exposure.  The thing that conceals you serves to constrain you. When you are in an atmosphere of Grace, exposure is not dangerous it is healing.

To maximize our life we must maximize our time. Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it, you can never get it back. There are several things that can not be a part of a maximized life, such as idolatry, lust, fornication, tempting Christ and murmuring.

The secularist seek, pursue, chase after what they think will make them happy and whole but the believer seeks, pursues and chases after WHO they know will make them happy and whole.  Its about making a difference more than it is about making a living; Its about building a legacy not about building a fortune and A maximized life is a life of service not a life with servants. Maximized Living is living life to the fullest.

Maximize means to make large or as great as possible. God designed life to be grand, great . . .maximized. Isaiah 1:19 says "If you consent and obey, You will eat the best of the land;" so we must be willing and obedience to received the great things of God.

James 1:2-4 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." We must understand that God is always preparing us for what HE has prepared for us.

In James 1:2-4, it tells us to consider it, what is the IT? The IT is our trials, we are to suppose to count it all joy and not as an enemy. To consider it joy requires a complete dependency on the Holy Spirit of God.
