WE ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE WORLD: DIFFERENT RULES & PRIORITIES

WE BELIEVE EVERYTHING IMPORTANT HAPPENS IN UNSEEN PLACES

Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

THE UNSEEN GETS ALL OUR ATTENTION

2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

WHAT IS VISIBLE IS RULED BY WHAT IS INVISIBLE

THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS MADE OUT OF WORDS 8 TIMES “God said”

EVERYTHING STILL RESPONDS TO WORDS LIVES ARE DESTROYED BY WORDS

James 3:6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE WE HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THINGS THE WORLD REJECTS OUR TOP PRIORITY IS HOW WE THINK

TAMMIE:

OUR MIND CONFORMED AND OUR LIVES TRANSFORMED

Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

BUTTERFLY

THIS IS NOT OK

Ephesians 4:17-18 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. (18) They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. PAUL WAS TALKING TO BELIEVERS!

HOW DID WE GET SALVATION? (FIRST- WE BELIEVED JESUS TESTIMONY)

WE RECEIVED SOMETHING WE DID NOT DESERVE

Colossians 2:6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, THIS IS HOW WE WILL RECEIVE OTHER MIRACLES

Galatians 3:3,5 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? (5) Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?

THIS IS HOW WE WILL CHANGE OUR HEARTS TO BECOME LIKE CHRIST

2 Peter 1:4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

BELIEVE PROMISES

HOW TO GET THE PROMISE FROM THE WORD INTO OUR LIFE

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind [IMAGINATION] is steadfast, because he trusts in you.

MIND= IS MOST OFTEN TRANSLATED IMAGINATION MIND= ALSO MEANS CONCEPTION

YOU DREAM WITH GOD (ENGAGE YOUR IMAGINATION WITH HIS PROMISE) THEN YOU WILL BECOME PREGNANT WITH THE PROMISE

AT FIRST ONLY YOU KNOW, THEN CLOSE FRIENDS, THEN ALL, THEN THE PROMISE COMES

Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
