Divine Appointments
Intro
We have talked a lot about worship the past two weeks and how it invites God to be enthroned upon our lives. How it should be a part of our everyday lives, and not just in church. How we should praise Him in spite of our circumstances, because when we are in God’s Presence the miraculous can happen. Tonight I want us to look at a way we can apply this, and some exciting things that can happen when we become a people of praise. Tonight we talk about Divine Appointments

One chance opportunities, that you can take advantage of or miss.

!!! II. Divine Appointments
John 4:3 (NKJV) He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.
Jesus with Zaccheus, woman at well in John 4.
These were not chance meetings. Two lives were radically changed as a result of these meetings with Jesus. He was at the right place at the right time.
Taking advantage of…
Couldn’t have a conversation with Jesus without the subject of a relationship with God coming up in a natural way.
John 4 a pattern for witnessing
She redirects toward a controversial subject (the mountain) to keep things from getting personal.
Uses circumstances around…common ground…the water in the well.
Are you sensitive enough to be used in this way. Kairos moments

!!! III Stepping out
One of the important things about divine appointments is being on the look-out for them. Expecting them to happen. And being prepared for when they do happen.
This is my challenge. Pray and have faith that God will hear and answer.
Pray that God will make some Divine Appts. for you. Pray that will take advantage of them and that you will be prepared for them.
