Title:Living In God's Abundant Provision

John 10:10 The devil is here to STEAL,KILL & DESTROY
Abundant life - Quantity and Quality (Most & BEST)
Genesis 26:1-3,12 ->Life of Issac (v6)He obeyed God
Don't loose your hope in God,Elshadai and Jehovah Jireh.
Issac recieved his blessing in the same land of famine.

- The world will envy you, because you are abundant in Christ.(v14)
- Glory to Glory,Faith to Faith Imitate Christ
- Change your paradine.
- Requires Change

*4 Keys to walking in God's Abundance!

1. I must RENEW my mind
- Changes happen when you start to renew your mind.
- You need to be a doer of the Word
- Romans 12:2 (transformation)
transformed=GK.="me-ta-mor-pho-o"
metermophisis -> challage/radical change
What knowlegde you have and what you do with it
Ephesians 4:22-24 - put off the old and (renew)put on the new
- Put away the old self (emotional,procasination etc.)
- Remove the old-me and put on the new-me!
- If you ignore the spiritual garbage...
- Get into action, response

2. I must mix the word with FAITH
Hebrew 4:2
There is nothing wrong with the Word of God.
Recieve with faith Hebrews 11:33

3. I must ACT on God's spoken Word.
- not our self but in the Word of God.
1 kings 17:8-16 Elijah had to act on the Word.
miracle ->by acting on the Word
Deuteronomy 8:1-3
1)Survival type econnomy ->(wildernes)
Deuteronomy 8:3
2)Multiplication enocomy ->(Promise land)
Hear his voice & ACT -> blessed
2 Kings 17:1-2
2 Kings 17:5-7
2 Kings 17:16-17
Matthew 17:27
Everything God says will come to pass
Nothing happens until you will be doers of the Word.
1 Samuel 30:6-8
1 Samuel 30:17-18

4. I must put JESUS FIRST in my life
Proverbs 3:9-10 - Honour Him with the frist fruits.
Mark 4:15-19
(v19) -> draws us away from God
1. Earthly things [anxienty -> idolotry]
2. Decietfulness of riches.
3. Desires for nice/other things (temptation.) - FREE for JESUS
Clease it away
We live for Jesus
Giving is the best way to overcome

There are alot of names to God.
We need the Holy Spirit to help us to know God.

3 Spiritual Senses We need to Develop.

#1 We need to develop our spiritual eyes!
God is spirit

Are your spiritual eyes open?
To know God is to expreience God
Ephesians 1:16-18 - open up their spiritual eyes
- God's inheritence etc. (riches and glory,power)
- Hope of calling
Spiritual senses are closed towards God! God does not only exits in the mind.
- make a difference in your scgool!

#2 We need to develop our spiritual ears!
Revelation 3:6,13,22
When is the last time you heard God speak to you?
2 Corinthians 12:1-4

#3 We need to develop our spiritual discernment!
perciving = discernment.
Luke 9:47
Acts 27:10
Is like a relationship between a husband and a wife!
Is how close,intimate (not how long) sense God
Make God your best friend.

2 Corinthains 5:16

We don't regard in the flesh
We learn to know people by the spirit.

2. He promts gentely
Matthew 4:1 - The Holy Spirit is not a dictator.
The Holy Spirit leads, not forces.
The Holy Spirit doesn't drive you!

3.The Holy Spirit stirs us up
Acts 17:16 - (Paul was provoked by seeing idols...)
Hab 1:-2 usually has to do with feelings when it happen.
Lamentations 2:11 - Jerimaiah recieved a burden from God (holy anger)
(good)->pray and interceed /bad burdens,yoke light and easy
Never ignore the string of the Holy Spirit.

4. He moves our concious
Colosians 3:15 -> empire
The peace of God is a Refree of God
Your heart must become pure <- always
