WE EXIST TO HELP PEOPLE KNOW JESUS AND FIND PURPOSE
I LOVE MOVIES
If your life was a movie, and you continued doing what you are doing, would the movie end like you want it to?
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
MAYBE YOU ARE IN A MESS RIGHT NOW — GOD CAN TURN IT INTO A MESSAGE
BOOKS — WRITE THE ENDING FIRST
WRITE THE ENDING FIRST
WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO SAY ABOUT YOU?
16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.
DISCIPLES — GOD HAD A PURPOSE THEN HE CREATED YOU — MAY NOT SEEM GOOD / EASY ALL THE TIME --- HE SAYS ANYTHING YOU ASK IN MY WILL YOU’LL GET
2 Then the Lord said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others. 3 This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.
JEREMIAH AGAIN — IF IT’S NOT GOOD THEN GOD’S NOT DONE!
VISION FOR YOUR LIFE MATTERS — NEXT VERSE
18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.
BELIEVE IN SOMETHING THAT HASN’T HAPPENED YET! — WHEN YOU HAVE NO VISION FOR YOUR LIFE YOU’LL MAKE BAD DECISIONS — NO VISION FOR MARRIAGE? WHAT WILL YOU DO FRIDAY NIGHT?
IF I DON’T HAVE A GOAL — I’LL DO ANYTHING BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW WHAT SUCCESS IS
REVERSE ENGINEER SOMEONE ELSE’S SUCCESS
Tesla get’s copied because other’s reverse engineer what they’ve done
9 Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.
THE MOMENT YOU GET TO A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE NO LONGER TEACHABLE, YOU HAVE ALSO REACHED YOUR CEILING — THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS MORE — WHO HAS WHAT YOU NEED
PICK MENTORS / WHO YOU LOOK UP TO WISELY — INVESTIGATE
20 Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.
PICK THE RIGHT PEOPLE
LAY OUT THE STEPS
MAKE A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE / KNOWING GOD MAY CHANGE IT
9 We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.
MARRIAGE PLAN — START A CHURCH
GO BACK TO YOUR PLAN EVERY 6 MONTHS — WHY? BECAUSE YOU’LL BE PRAYING DURING THAT TIME
25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
TAKE YOUR PLANS TO GOD AND........
ASK FOR HELP
FROM GOD — DON’T SAY HIS NO FOR HIM — DATING HAHA — “IF IT’S YOUR WILL” — PRAY LIKE A CHILD
8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
FROZEN LET IT GO — 17 SONGS — MOVIE RE-WRITTEN FOR THAT SONG
THE BIBLE, GOD MAKES ASKS OF US… WE SAY NO TO HIM BUT MAKE ASKS??
LORD BLESS ME? — WHEN WAS THE LAST TITHE? — BLESS RELATIONSHIP! YOU KEEP RUNNING AFTER THE WRONG THINGS?
NASA — ROCKET — ROCKET 12 Stories — 1 1/2 is the engine the rest is fuel — Actual shuttle uses about the same gas as your car — WE LOOK AT PEOPLE IN ORBIT AND COMPARE OURSELVES TO THEM
PRIORITIZE YOUR STEPS
7 Talk is cheap, like daydreams and other useless activities. Fear God instead.
GET INTO THE ACTION HABIT — ADD A NEW SCENE TO YOUR MOVIE
4 Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.
I GOTTA JUST FIGURE SOME STUFF OUT — WHY WAIT? — STARTING THE CHURCH IN PANDEMIC
NEVER GIVE UP
9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
