Four evidences that anything is alive and their application to Church and our life in Christ.

With our actions, whether we like it or not, we are leaving a legacy behind us. We are making an impact on our world for good or for bad. Will we take our talents and use them or bury them?

Just as the lamb that was crucified at Calvary was slain before the foundation of the world, 1 Timothy 1 says that you had a purpose before in the beginning. God saved you for such a time as this.

God saved us for good works according to His will. So it is so important for us to find out what God's will for us is. It is such a tragedy to spend your life and succeed... In the WRONG purpose.

The slaves gained freedom, but many never learned to walk in liberty.

The spiritual mindset says that God's promises are already fulfilled. It is a mindset that doesn't ask for God to do something but thanks God for already doing it. When Jesus fed 5,000, He didn't pray for God to multiply... He thanked God.

If you come in trying to understand the end without knowing the beginning you're missing your foundation. The foundation is there for a purpose, it is leading toward an end result. Build on THE foundation.

Operating from a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind.
