Running Out of runway
OPEN: HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED THE SENSATION OF RUNNING OUT OF RUNWAY?
Text:
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
YOU’RE DESIGNED TO REVEAL GLORY
DOXA - THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF MAJESTIC SPLENDOR
GOD CREATED YOU TO USE SUFFERING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
PATHEMA - ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG FEELING - REDEMPTIVE PREPARATION FOR US TO KNOW AND EXPERIENCE GOD
SUFFERING IS AN INDICATION:
1.DESTINY 2.ALTITUDE 3.ENGINEERING
WHY AM I NOT IN FLIGHT? WHY AM I NOT RISING?!
NOT FAST ENOUGH (MOVE IN COORDINATION WITH YOUR DESIGN
for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’
MAKE MOVES OF FAITH
NOT ALL MOVEMENT WILL LIFT YOU
SPIRIT IS PROFICIENT AND EFFICIENT - ALLOWS YOU TO MOVE FARTHER WITH LESS ENERGY
TOO HEAVY *PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR CAPACITY
LIGHTEN THE LOAD/BAGGAGE
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
- PUT OFF THE FORMER WAY OF LIFE - OLD MAN IS HEAVIER
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
SURRENDER TO GOD THE WEIGHT OF SIN AND ALL HEAVINESS
RUNWAY TOO SHORT *CONSTRUCTION
“Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes.
BROADEN YOUR HORIZON *777 ON A RUNWAY FOR PROP PLANE
HOW TO ENLARGE YOUR RUNWAY
IMAGINATION ASSOCIATION DETERMINATION
KEEP JOY YOUR FOCUS *PILOT YOUR LIFE
SUFFERING CAN FEEL LIKE PERSECUTION WHEN YOU’RE RUNNING OUT OF RUNWAY
DO NOT ALLOW WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO LIFT YOU TO BE WHAT LOWERS YOU BY EMBRACING A THEOLOGY OF SUFFERING
JOY IS CENTRAL TO THE CHRISTIAN FAITH
So the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness; Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
CLOSE:

1. MAKE MOVES OF FAITH

3. BROADEN YOUR HORIZON
