God did not give you his spirit for nothing.
The spirit of God in your life must count for more than goosebumps. Zechariah 4:6

He gave you the Spirit because the assignment he gave you cannot be accomplished by your power.
Do something extraordinary
You might be timid but there’s something called the zeal of the Lord.

God the Father is glorified in the glorification of the spirit.
John 14:12 Now we are partakers of the commonwealth of Israel...

According to basic science, for fire to be produced & sustained, three things must be present: heat, oxygen and fuel. Remove any, and the fire goes out.

The same principle applies to spiritual fire; revival does not happen coincidentally, it occurs as a result of deliberate architecture. If you put the right things in place, you will inevitably see it.

There’s no such thing as an ‘automatic Christian life’, there is what to do to sustain what God has done...

Yeshua: The God man

If you study the communication of Jesus, you'll have one of two conclusions.
1. He is God
2. He is a fraud
No ordinary person can speak the way Jesus did.

In Matthew 4:7, Jesus said to Satan, "...do not tempt the Lord your God". Jesus was the one being tempted here yet He referred to himself as God.

In Isaiah 9:6, The child Jesus to be born was called the everlasting father and the Mighty God...

Immanuel: Jesus the Man ✨

???? God took up flesh and dwelt amongst us. His name is Jesus.

John 1:1,14 - In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the Word was God.
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
‭‭
Jesus is the mediator between God and man and is both God and man...

There are questions and we will get answers to them today.

Q: How then can we see that the resurrected body of Jesus had scars?

A: It means that it’s a mockery of death, that’s exactly how we know that death has been defeated. He (Jesus) put it there to let us know that he died our death. 1 Cor 15:55-57

Hebrews 2:14
In history, no one ever conquered death until Jesus conquered death...

Every relationship is superficial until it gets serious. You can have a superficial religious experience but we know you’re growing when you begin to ask real questions about God. It takes maturity to say yes we are studying Yeshua.

The name Jesus is the translation of the name “Yeshua” Acts 13:8
The name Esus was the name attempted to paganize the name, Jesus. The real name of the messiah is in his reputation. Your real name is your reputation...

The most important principle of Prayer is that it is Heartfelt.

Things to note:
????Inclining your heart to God is one of the biggest things you can ever do in your walk with God
????An inclined heart is all it takes to hear God.
2 Chro16:9, Jer 29:13
????To embrace divine leading, you must lay aside giftings, Intelligence, comfort and embrace surrender.
????You cannot claim to seek divine leading when you struggle to pray...

As believers, we are encouraged to pursue spiritual growth.
A newborn baby is not responsible for himself however, as the child grows, some expectations are placed on him. This also applies to us as Christians.

1Jn2:12-15

????It is increasingly important in these last days to recognize the devil’s wiles. When your heart is conflicted and convictions you once upheld from the truth of God’s Word are shaking, it is an attack...

Creative miracles happen when you bring the supernatural into the natural so extraordinary things can be accomplished.

Learn to think like Jesus. Jesus expects us to expect miracles. Since when did it become a problem when you can’t carry enough bread? Learn to expect the miraculous every time.

Never plan with scarcity. Never say you don't have.
It is counterproductive to always try to get people to be sympathetic with you...

God gives extraordinary encounters to some people because those encounters are by extension, evangelical mediums for miracles in the lives of people. 1 Tim 1:15

It doesn’t have to be spectacular for it to the spiritual. Learn to accept and embrace the ways by which God speaks to you. It is a sin to despise the things God says because it doesn’t seem spectacular to you.

Many times God makes things spectacular for people because of their unbelief...
