REVIEW: SPIRITUAL HUNGER, IS THE WAY TO ALL SPIRITUAL PROGRESS

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

’VE GOT GOOD NEWS DOCTOR, HIS APPETITE IS RETURNING!

REVIEW: THE MOST SPIRITUALLY SIGNIFICANT EVENT OF THE PAST 50 YEARS JUST HAPPENED (SCOTUS FOUND: THE DECEPTION OF ROE V WADE WAS NEVER IN OUR CONSTITUTION)

PROPHECY: GOD IS NOT FINISHED DEMOLISHING DEMONIC PRINCIPALITIES OVER AMERICA ANOTHER ONE WILL SOON BE CALLED OUT (FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS)

IN 1 KINGS GOD REVEALS A PICTURE OF AMERICA TODAY GOOD VS. EVIL (ELIJAH VS. AHAB)

1 Kings 18:17-21 When [ISRAEL’S KING AHAB] saw Elijah, he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?" (18) "I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied. "But you and your father's family have. You have abandoned the LORD's commands and have followed the Baals.

(NOTICE: WHEN THE WICKED ARE IN POWER THE GODLY ARE CONSIDERED THE PROBLEM) NOW LETS GATHER ALL THE PEOPLE OUT OF GOD’S BLESSED NATION

(19) Elijah continued “Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table."

THE LEADERS HAVE 2 RECOGNIZED IDENTITIES (HERE IS THE PROPHETIC PATTERN)

(BAAL) CHILD SACRIFICE AND (ASHERAH) SEXUAL PERVERSION

(20) So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. (21) Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing.

GOD CALLS OUT “ARE YOU FOR CHILD SACRIFICE?”: the people said nothing GET READY BECAUSE A CALL TO THE CHURCH ON SEXUAL PERVERSION

WILL GO OUT THE SAME WAY ABORTION WAS CALLED OUT

GOD IS FORCING THE ISSUE PEOPLE CAN NO LONGER HIDE WHAT THEY BELIEVE

Hebrews 10:38-39 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him." (39) But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

WE HOLD OUT THE WORD OF TRUTH

Philippians 2:15-16 that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe (16) as you hold out the word of life-

4 THINGS ABOUT THE WORD OF LIFE, GOD’S WORD

→ WE LIVE BY IT

Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

→ GOD MEANS WHAT HE SAYS: LITERALLY HE’S NOT TRICKING YOU WITH SPECIFICS Micah 5:2 (NLT) But you, O Bethlehem Ephratah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel, whose origins are in the distant past, will come from you on my behalf.

IT’S GOOD ALLEGORY “EVEN LITTLE THINGS CAN CARRY THE POWER OF GOD”

BUT, CONSIDER THIS ONLY THE WISE MEN WHO TOOK THE PROPHECIES LITERALLY

PARTICIPATED IN GOD’S PLAN (THEY BELIEVED IT WAS PRE-WRITTEN HISTORY) TAKE GOD’S WORD LITERALLY WHENEVER POSSIBLE (NOT A PIECE OF CLAY OR A SHEEP)

→ THE BIBLE IS LIKE HAVING A BOX OF KEYS (EACH ONE WILL OPEN A TREASURE) GUIDANCE FOR EVERYTHING: MINISTRY, JOBS, MARRIAGE, FRIENDSHIPS, HOMES

WHEN YOU NEED AN OPEN DOOR DO YOU GRAB ANY RANDOM KEY? NO!

GOD BRINGS YOUR ANSWER BY BRINGING ONE SPECIFIC WORD TO YOUR SITUATION

John 14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

RHEMA= SPOKEN TRUTH THAT APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION THE ONE KEY YOU NEED

John 6:63 The words (RHEMA) I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

“THIS WORD IS JUST FOR ME, AND IT CHANGES EVERYTHING!”

WE DON’T LIVE BY ALL THE FOOD IN THE WORLD BUT BY OUR LUNCH (DAILY BREAD)

BUT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN WE NEED TO GET FAMILIAR WITH OUR KEYS!

2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

THE CARETAKERS KEYS: TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT THEM, SORT THEM OUT (GUEST HOUSE, CARS, STORAGE) STUDY & LEARN ABOUT THEM, THINK ABOUT PLACES THEY COULD FIT, TEST THEM

THE BIBLE: READ IT, HEAR SERMONS, MEMORIZE IT, MEDITATE ON IT, DO WHAT IT SAYS

Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

BEING SKILLED WITH THE KEYS MAKES IT EASY FOR GOD TO BRING YOUR ANSWER

→ BELIEVE THE WORD OUR MOST IMPORTANT WORK

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

ONE SAYS “THINGS JUST WORK OUT FOR ME” & ONE SAYS “MY LIFE IS A TRAIN WRECK”

WHICH ONE IS DOING THE WORK OF GOD? (CAN’T TELL?)

John 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

WHEN YOU HOLD A PROMISE FROM GOD IT HAS POWER IN ITSELF TO MAKE IT HAPPEN

Mark 4:26-28 He also said, "This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain--first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
