Power Study - B 51 - Notes

[FAITH]

Keeping in Mind from the perspective of functioning as the House of God and Gate of Heaven, name three things that are taking place in Heaven:

INTERCESSION:

"And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found NONE." - Ezekiel 22:30

What is the prayer ministry of the church? It is God telling the church what He wishes to do, so that the church on earth will pray out its accomplishment.

We must engage in the intercessions of Christ. And we must follow through fearlessly in spiritual warfare, praying aggressively against the demonic activity that is so prevalent in today's world.

REVIVAL:
If there is Luke-warmness, you have to take responsibility for it. It's not always the church's fault - you've got to STIR YOURSELF UP.

I've got to get that love and that passion and that fire so I can step into that Destiny Jesus has for me.

You need to say, "I don't just want to go to where the blessing is, I want to be the blessing. I don't just want to go to the revival, I want to carry the revival. I want to be what starts the revival!"

SPIRITUAL STRATAEGY:

Hebrews 13:12-13 - "So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.  Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured."

This passage says that people should go to Jesus outside the camp (the religious community) and endure the reproach he suffered. The passage suggests that people should leave behind their past which includes the passionless, feckless, Laodicean living that has imprisoned them in the past and join Christ in the wilderness, and cling to Christ.

QUESTION TO ASK OURSELVES:

Are we allowing the grace of God to produce ministering to others in our lives, or have we received the grace of God in vain?

Luke 14:28-30 - " For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish."

It stirs up boldness within us to step out and love and DISCIPLE the untaught and to where they are now able to advance God's Kingdom, thereby, developing their own ministry to others.
