Presence for More
Core Value #1: We will believe that impossible is impossible.
Matthew 19:26 (NKJV)
With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Where human strength, human resources, and human ability see the impossible, God sees opportunity. Because with God all things are possible!
To experience the impossible, we need the presence of God in our impossible. We access the presence of God through His Word.
Real Talk:
Why is it so uncomfortable to pray what the Bible says?
-It's not natural. It's supernatural
-Waiting is no longer societally acceptable
-Our inclination is to focus on the negative
How do I find some "Word" (Scriptures)?
-Use Google, and focus on recognizable Bible study sites
-Ask a good friend, pastor, or leader
How can I do this consistently?
-Set a reminder in your phone
-Ask someone to hold you accountable
-Post reminders around places you visit often - bathroom, refrigerator, car, etc
-Make it a family event
Is it wrong to cut out people from my life who tell me this won't work?
-No, but be careful of cutting them out completely
-Your testimony might be the one thing that opens the door for them to experience Jesus, and if you cut off the relationship, you'll slam that door shut
-People can't speak into your life if you don't give them permission
-Hold your vision in your heart
How do I avoid being discouraged?
-Remember God doesn't work on your timetable
-Continue praying the Word over your impossible.
-Don't worry about feeling it, because sometimes faith and feelings don't line up
