The disciples began to argue and became “preoccupied” with who would be the greatest among them.

JESUS SEES ALL THIS.
HE TAKES A CHILD.
HE SETS THE CHILD IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM
BEFORE HE SPEAKS.

The Lord is really serious about how we lead children, and about the example that we are to them. He wants them trained up in THE WAY. We must not dismiss the little ones.

It’s time to train like never before. The days of lethargy and apathy in my church are over.
It’s time to lay aside every weight that is hindering and slowing you down.
It’s time to train, and train hard.
It’s time to arise from your slumber.
It’s time to come out of hiding.

It’s time. Do not delay. Fix your eyes upon me, and do not be moved. Set your face like flint. Behold, your King, the King of Glory, the Light of the World, the Lamb of God. It’s time for your light to shine and for love to be poured out.

It’s time to walk in power and might, to walk in Victory with your beloved your King. Do not delay.

It’s time to focus. Do not be distracted by the world with all of its distractions and lists. Lives are at stake,. Remember who you are and why you are here. It’s not to fit in. It’s to stand out!

Kings will come to the light of my glory, shining through you.

It’s time! It’s time! It’s time! The hour is late. The day is near. You must be ready. You must be equipped and fully trained for the battle ahead. It’s time to strap on your boots, suit up, get your armor on and be hidden no longer. The true Sons & Daughters of the Kingdom will arise. It’s time to arise and shine!

GOD DOES NOT DEAL IN ELITISM!
GOD BREAKS THE BARRIERS!

Sons & Daughters (GENDER)
Old Men & Young Men (AGE)
Servants & Handmaidens (CLASS)
I will pour out my Spirit on them ALL.

God systematically disrupted, dealt with and tore away every form of idol and barrier that man would lift up to qualify a person to be a part of His Kingdom, His Priesthood.

The truth of the Priesthood of the Believer has been the most assaulted truth in the Body of Christ. Unworthiness is one of the greatest stumbling blocks keeping us from everything that God has for us. BUT God goes down and seeks the lowly.

Joel 2:28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

Brian Starley’s (Global Awakening) deepest conviction is to make room for the presence of God, and to honor what He’s doing above all else. He desires to train others to abide in the place of deep intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and to equip the church for the operation of signs and wonders, in order that we may declare the fullness of the gospel with word and power. He began ministering at 15 years of age, following a supernatural encounter with Jesus which marked his life.

The Conscience is a foundational way that God speaks to us and guides us. “Conscience” is an internal self knowledge of right and wrong, good and evil. Every decision is processed through the conscience that bears witness to the existence of God. It is in the conscience that you feel either conviction or condemnation. It is the conscience in which discernment is developed, which must be sanctified and submitted to the truth of God’s Word by the renewing of your mind by the guidance of Holy Spirit.

When you deny the internal witness of God, it creates turmoil and conflict in the soul that you then have to find a way to fill and treat the pain.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

1 John 3:21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

Romans 9:1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.

A Global Awakening Associate Evangelist, William Wood is also a graduate of the Global School of Supernatural Ministry and founder of the Relentless conference. In 2005, William Wood had a dramatic encounter with God where he was supernaturally delivered from alcohol and drug abuse. Since this encounter, he has had a passion for revival and for seeing people step into the fullness of what Christ paid for on the cross.

YouVersion Notes

Are we satisfied with a “passing by” relationship with God? Or are we constraining Him to Abide?

God’s not satisfied with a passing by relationship with you. He wants to remain with you.

God doesn’t mind when we stop Him, grab hold of Him, reach out and say, “Do not pass me by.”

22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. Exodus 33:22 NKJV

2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, 3 and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. Genesis 18:2-3 NKJV

28 Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. 29 But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them. Luke 24:28-29 NKJV

YouVersion Notes

Moses asked God to show him His Glory, His overabundance of who He is, and God responded.

I WILL . . .

. . . make all my goodness pass before you.

GOD IS THE BEST! He will make His best pass before you.

. . . proclaim the name of the Lord before you.

RUN INTO the name of the LORD!

. . . be gracious to whom I will be gracious.

God has a place reserved for you at His right hand. STAND on the ROCK!

Make your prayer today – God show me your glory, where I’ve limited you in my life.

19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” Exodus 33:19 NKJV
