Faith – is it a matter of it being too small? Does our Faith really need to grow? Or is it that we need to increase our kŏinōnia – our partnership, our fellowship, our communion with our faith given to us by God, and eliminate our kŏinōnia with everything else? What if rather than “increasing our faith,” we realize that we’re partnering with too many other things, other than our faith, and what God says?
If we, as believers are communing with unbelief, with fears, with discouragement and disappointments, asking we’re others, and not God to speak into our situations, and we kŏinōnia with them, guess what?! We get the benefits and privileges attached to those partnerships. Whatever is being produced in and out of that communion, will begin to produce out of you.
Who are you hanging out with, what are you listening to and watching, what are you embracing? We have to sit down with Holy Spirit and ask where we kŏinōnia with the wrong things. Until we do, we will never walk in freedom.
Matthew 17:19–20, 2 Corinthians 4:13, 2 Corinthians 6:14, Philemon 1–7, Romans 12:3
Stuck between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s Army? Stand still! Look at Jesus. Keep quiet, and move forward. The Lord will fight for you! Even when the obstacle is still there, it’s our responsibility to trust God, and keep moving forward to what He’s told us to do. What have you seen God do in your life before now? He can do it again!
Exodus 14:9–15, Psalm 46:10, Jeremiah 32:27, Exodus 19:4, Exodus 19:1–6
CHURCH – our lane is the EARTH! It’s God’s dominion. Jesus is the King, and the world needs the truth to be set free. God put a system in place to have His will be done on earth – PRAYER & DOMINION. We must be in relational communion with God in order to exercise the delegated authority for influencing all areas of society. The ramification of Christians not taking dominion is ungodliness ruling.
Psalm 115:16, Luke 11:1–4, Genesis 3:8, James 5:16–18, Genesis 1:26–28
“CHRISTIAN” means CHRIST-LIKE, it does not mean church-goer.
What are we choosing?
What are we becoming?
Examining “As it is in Heaven” (Matthew 6 : 9-13) means examining what we are choosing. Choosing His Kingdom AUTOMATICALLY means saying “no” to the kingdom of the Earth. It is a love relationship with the King of Kings, Jesus, that causes lesser loves to fall away.
When the Kingdom of Heaven comes, it will not fit into the ways of the world. (John 18
Matthew 6:9–13, John 18:36
What if everything we’ve ever known about Church, is not like it is in Heaven?
What if what we’re comfortable with is not God?
What if what makes us comfortable doesn’t make Him comfortable?
Church it’s not about us. It’s about Jesus, and God wants to break a culture of religion that is picky and preferential. God is wanting us to transition from singing about someone to seeing Him, for our worship to become about Him, and not just words we sing. As it is in Heaven. The challenge is sacrificing our will and choosing and trusting that what God wants is better than what I am sure is good. It’s laying our crowns down. It’s looking at Him and saying Holy, Holy, because He is worthy of all the praise on the Earth as it is in Heaven.
Matthew 6:9–13
