AT YOUR WORD

Luke 5:1-6

Multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God Religion strips the word of power and renders it powerless. Mark 7:13; 16:20. KINGDOM IS POWER It’s not the method of our message but power of our message!!! We know God spoke through Moses but for this fellow we don’t know where He is from John 9:29 Where is the Lord God of Elijah 2 Kings 2:14 Get to know God’s character not Bible characters. Elijah was a man with nature like ours…James 5:17 Elijah is gone. Moses is dead. GOD IS NOT! He is not God of the dead but of the living Luke 20:38

Peter had professional skill, Jesus had prophetic gift Good at fishing yet can’t catch any fish. Medicine has limitations Natural verses supernatural. Earned verses given. Toiling verses easy. Limited verses powerful Jesus wasn’t fisher man naturally yet did more. Jesus wasn’t doctor naturally yet did more Pursue love but desire spiritual gifts 1 Cor.14:1 WE DESIRE NATURAL, DESIRE SPIRITUAL. Luke 11:13

Peter obeyed when he didn’t know the outcome When you stand before God you will not be judged by your outcome but your obedience. WINDS OBEY, SATAN DOES In USA obedience to God brings great blessing, in other countries it can bring death (Abel & John & Stephen & John) If we can’t obey Christ when it rewards us, how can we obey Him when it brings persecution Let’s obey no matter what of the outcome. Noah makes people make fun of you, makes you famous God doesn’t own an explanation. Understanding can wait, obedience can’t. Obedience pleases God

Put God’s Word in Your Boat Albert Einstain “definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different result” Their boat was empty of God’s word, so their nets were empty of fish Jesus didn’t go with them but sent His word to be with them. He sent BIBLE to be with us – don’t forget it on shore With Word in your boat you can catch in the DEEP – no shallow LIFE Smith – ONLY BIBLE. Free time – enjoy God’s word When WORD is in your boat, PRESENCE is in your boat, POWER is in your boat When you fill your boat with WORD, God will fill your nets JOSHUA 1:8
