My Notes

 Worship God We live in culture where different things capture us and we begin to worship and idolize them. We loose sight of God. John  Verse: Revelation 19:10 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters[a] who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus John in his experience was awed and lost sight of God. He fell down to worship the angel. And the angel directed him back to worshiping God. There are several things that misguide us..... This could be worship of nature or another person or even ourselves.  Worship of Nature worship Verse: Romans 1:23 23 And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles . Worship of Man Verse: 2 Timothy 3:2   2 For people will love only themselves and their mone...

 Purity Important points It's not the sudden death but the gradual slope. Memorize scripture - When we have scriptures in our heart.... it comes back in times when we are in trouble.... when it comes back, it provides a flood of relief and help. Self Harm addiction: It arises from social media anxiety. Self harm actually calms many of the teenagers. From control to cutting controlling you. Compulsive behaviour that is difficult to stop without help. "I am enough".... Learn to accept yourself.... you don't need someone else to provide for your confidence to face life. Hyperlink culprit - Decreases and weakens the ability to comprehend and retain what they are reading. Google Reading - Getting what I want.

 Worship David house (worship) had to be restored.....  Verse: Amos 9:11 11 “In that day I will restore the fallen house of David. I will repair its damaged walls. From the ruins I will rebuild it and restore its former glory. What does David's house represent. It represents the worship to the Almighty God. His worship and love for God was intense.... and he describes it in Psalms.  Verse: Psalms 63:1 1 O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. The intensity of worship of the woman was so intense - the one who broke the alabaster jar...  that Jesus was moved by it Verse: Matthew 26:13 13 I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.” Here are different tents  Priestly Tent (Related to duty)  Prophetic Tent (Encounter with God) We need to perform our duty and...

 Providential Living Verse: Romans 8:28 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. This blessing in this verse (providence) is applicable to people who love God and are called accordingly to his purpose Verse: 1 Corinthians 2:9 9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him .” This blessing in this verse (providence) is again applicable to those who love him God loves us but we are to reciprocate and love God. This expectation for us to love back is not unreasonable. This is because we are people thrive on love. This capacity to love overflows to people around us Verse: John 13:34‭-‬35 34 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.  35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that y...

 God calling your name twice We long to hear from God. We need to make decision at crossroads and we want to be sure that we are making the right decisions. Here are some of the ways that God speaks to us. A Sermon or Message A Spiritual Friend A Spiritual Book Through successes in life Through Failures in life Through Dreams Through Recurring Themes A verse/verses in the Bible Restless Spirit God has reached out to people in the past and he called some people twice. There are 7 people that God calls twice Abraham Lesson: Give God first priority God is calling him to do a difficult task - Genesis 22 - He was to sacrifice his son Issac. But God's real intention was to test Abraham loyalty. The sacrifice didn't happen but when God sacrificed Jesus, it went through. There is a parallel we can draw from this incident. The lesson we can learn from this that God is close to us when are being tested Jacob Lesson: Do not be afraid Verse: Genesis 46:2 2 During the night God spoke to h...
