I just want to say that I was blown away from the respoone to the opening of THRIVE. It seemed like one of those timely messages that people were needing to hear. I’m just glad I got to be apart of it. It is an amazing thing to have the Holy Spirit use you to speak life and encouragement to God’s people. The cool part is that you don’t have to be a pastor to have that experience. The reality is that the Holy Spirit wants to speak through you as well. I want to encourage you to be open to the Holy Spirit’s leading and look for the divine moment to help other people. With all that said, here are some notes from last weeks message.
- Last year, Warren Buffett lost 11 Billion dollars. At least we didn’t lose as much money as he did.
- Over 2 million jobs were lost last year, there is no doubt the our country is facing a down season.
- In Numbers 13, Moses sent spies in to check out the PROMISE LAND
- Christianity is built on promises. There are 100’s of promises throughout scripture, waiting to be inherited.
- For every promise, your enemy has created problems.
- Remember, there were no giants in the desert. The enemy is not trying to keep you from mediocrity, he is trying to keep you from God’s abundant life.
- Big problems require big faith.
- Joshua and Caleb were the only guys who had any faith in God.
- In Numbers 14:24, it says that Caleb was of a different spirit.
- The tough question to ask is which spirit will I have when facing adverse situations.
- The wrong spirit was that of complaining, doubt, fear and worry.
- Joshua said in Numbers 13:9 that Israel could eat those giants for lunch.
- We need to remember that God wants us to not just survive, but to THRIVE.
Make sure to be here this Sunday as we look at how to Release the Faith that is within us. See you then.
