0812 Fourth Dimension Part 3

Genesis 1:1-3

Fasting and feasting

Revival is rhythm, no regrets

Goal is not perfection but progress, and it happens by process

Jesus was born in manger, where lambs are born!

Miracle of Christmas is kingdom of God!

God was not sorry, He so loved us!

When you receive you conceive (when your heart is open to God’s word, your world is open to God’s power)

Don't give up on your revelation in the face of your situation (don’t surrender to surroundings, humble under hand of God)

Hang out with like minded people

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” Genesis 1:1-3

‘Elohim is plural, created is singular

The earth had been reduced to this state (Jer. 4:23); it was not the way God had first created it (Is. 45:18)

Faith begins where God’s will is known!

Trouble is not a sign that God left you!

God does not desert me when I deserve punishment!

“But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.” “Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.” Isaiah 49:15-16

Faith is title deed of things hoped for

God who is light, Who lives in the light, creates light which drives away darkness, all without the sun.

God is the source of joy (Neh.8:10), righteousness, peace (Rom.14:17), peace rule (Col.3:15)

Faith is being a father without a child, having victory before a battle, becoming a king before the throne, declared righteous before doing right deeds.

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11:1

Dionysia, lost case in local court over piece of land. Took case to higher court in Alexandria. Send her servant with stone box. Fire destroyed everything. 2,000 years later, “in order that my lord the judge may know that my appeal is just, I attach my hupostasis.”

Do you use things that you don’t have title for? Like car? Faith takes me from hoping to having!

Car example!

You get that faith not from general potential but specific quickened by the Holy Spirit (cooked rice) Romans 10:17

You don’t just tell yourself that “i am owner of the car”

Doubt sees what currently is and no more. Hope is a divine possibility, based on a general promise in the word of God. Faith is the personal reality of this promise made real by a specific communication to our heart from God.

Faith is believing what you don’t see. Reward of faith is you will see what you believe

“And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns...” 2 Peter 1:19

Don’t give up on the light, God is working behind the scenes.

God spoke what He wanted to see, not what He saw.

Celebrate small victories

Don't focus on what God has not done (or you will treat Him as employee)

Don't let Nicole block the sun

• It’s not one day job

• Don’t turn off the switch

• Celebrate small victories

• Don’t focus on what God has not done YET
