Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool things happened tonight. No. Hot things happened tonight. God is really doing great things on campus. I preached tonight. I had actually gotten the first three points of the message last Thursday or Friday night and hadn't got the chance to tell anyone that God had given me the message for this Tuesday night. Anyway, I was pretty sure up until this afternoon when I told Jayson that I had a message. Then when I was trying to take a Naz nap, Chris walked in and he told me, "God has given you the message for tonight." He was right. I asked him if Jayson or God had told him and he said both. Anyway, I've never thought of myself as a preacher. I never thought that I could really speak, but tonight everything just flew out. I believe that I have been more spiritually led tonight than any other time in my life. Anyway, my message was right on (did I tell you I added a fourth point while seeking God today?) and it spoke directly to Chris. He got so tickled and God led him to confess something he had been dealing with before us after I spoke. I can't wait to see what God is going to do next.
I left my notes down in central complex, and I must get to bed as soon as possible, so I will post the notes on this site, underneath this text in the afternoon, or whatever time I get to do it. God is so awesome. Bye!
God’s People Have Been Down For Too Long! Or Should I Say Up?
Main Verse: II Chronicles 7:14
Other Verses are 7:1-3 and 11-16
Four things that the church must do today (it’s quite simple)
1. Humble themselves
Confess sin and give it up to God
2. Seek God’s Face
Not second best, but first
Must seek forgiveness for ourselves and our family and friends
Must seek his presence in our lives and his blessings
God’s blessings are not just for priests, pastors, or special “saints” but for all who trust in him.
3. Turn from our wicked ways
Begin to be conformed to the image of Christ rather than what the world wants
We must not stop at seeking Gods face but go farther
It’s a continual process
4. Accept God’s blessings
We must not stop at sanctification, but receive God’s gifts of blessings for us as we walk in obedience.
We must not think that after or during sanctification we have it all, because God wants to give us more. No matter what kind of blessings God has already given us, he wants to give us more. There is no limit to his wonderful blessings. We must not hold back, we must continue to give up the reigns and not be afraid of what God might have for us. There is always more, and if we take the throne back, we will fall down and become just as we were before. Don’t hold back on what the Holy Spirit wants to do
