We should have a rising tide of victory because God is given the liberty to do the miracles in our lives

Get aggressive, not passive, in receiving blessings from God. Do not compromise on what God promised for us

Passive and peaceful is DIFFERENT. PSALM21 : God is mighty in you and mighty in battle. God has no personal battles. It is the things we face that He takes personally. He is mighty in MY battle.

We are God’s gates and doors. Opening heaven to people.

He wants a family that gives to others through Him. Not just to serve Him.

He is not going to manifest His glory with an old testament cloud, but through His giving in out lives EPH 2:7 God wants to point to us as examples of His glory. We are His bait. He wants us to bring heaven down to earth, not just an insurance against going to hell.

Disobedience does not do much for out victory in Christian living.

The idea that God is in control eliminates responsibility. You have to make Jesus the lord of your life by choice. God gave us the right to decide. We have to chose to receive His healing/blessings. Applies to every aspect if Christian living. If we are not aggressive in making this decision in every area, the devil will come to steal, kill and destroy what you did not claim.

Like Job, God put a hedge of protection around all of us. It will work for us if we don’t screw it up!

There is a battle against us. The devil is looking for an open door to gain access into our lives. Don’t take long to close the door… if you know where the door is!

God is great in battle but we are the ones leaving the door open! Bring our issues before God.

Open door 1: Discouragement

When there is no courage and people let go of the promises of God ; stop expecting changes.

Courage = Heart(french) Be courageous believers by following the heart - inner man. Follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Don’t be addicted to logic and thinking(wait for everything to be in place before having courage.)Believe what God  said above what you see is courage. Courage : bouyant in spirit. cannot be kept down, always on top and on the rise.

Open door 2 : Division(divided body of Christ.)

Exhort each other daily, to be encouraged and knit together. Don’t have reason to separate from the family of faith. Complain : criticism without solution. Listening to complaints cause division. God has given the Israelites a promised land but many died in the wilderness because they heard a bad report.

Open door 3 : Losing Focus(what soil did you plant your seed in?)

A person may be fruitful but distraction may cause us to strive and change direction. Focus intensifies what is available to you: God’s promises. Faith grows and power is released when we embrace God’s word.

The walls of your enemy cannot stop you unless you stop yourself.

What have you received and what have you closed the door to?
