Romans 10:9-10 (AMP)

[recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and
made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses
[his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.

Editor's Notes
- #3 When we meet God and he asks us what we did with what he gave us, what will be say? How many of us will be able to stand in front of God and say this to HIM? How many of us desire to be able to stand in front of God and confidently say this?
- #5 Before God formed us he knew us We we’re intentional creations and not by accident We were created for a purpose….Explain purpose…etc Bin Analogy We were not made to be normal (set Apart)
- #6 Accepting a job offer that you never applied for or needed any qualifications for. We were qualified when we were created. Only a general job description….
- #7 Accepting God’s plan for us
- #8 Prayer Prayer is conversation with God. ‘Prayer is Giving God permission to interfere on earth’ – Dr Myles Munroe Fasting Ezra 8:23 (NLT) 23 So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer. Meditation on the Word Joshua 1:8 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. The Early church set the blueprint and the example for us to follow. Matthew 18:19-20 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (NIV) Church attendance is not just a “good suggestion”; it is God’s will for believers. Hebrews 10:25 says we should “not [be] giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” We need the encouragement that church provides (Ecclesiaates 4:9-10) We Cant do it on our own.
- #9 Are we reflecting God in the things we do and say? Does our lives lead others away from sin or into sin? We cant be lukewarm, God will spit us out We were called to be Kings and Queens do our lives reflect that – Royal Priesthood verse… God wont allow the fufillment of his purpose to die on your watch. Film anaology
- #10 2 Cor 5 7 Sat nav analogy Ecclestiastes Obedience If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. Deut 28:1 Not Delayed Not Partial - Saul Hebrews 13:21 New Living Translation (NLT) 21 may he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you,[a] through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen. 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. Managing them/using them effectively. Some of us spend more time cultivating and nurturing our hair then our own spiritual gifts etc. Give Testimony about me and prophecy…Wisdom Talk about God taking us out of our comfort zone STAND FIRM It wont be easy Trials will come parallel to purpose 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. Diligent Life is a marathon, we must sustain Emotions not going with diligence God is more than a feeling etc Spiritual highs and Lows…Stamina Diligence is more than how we feel Shine Called to be lights man Salt of the earth…..Salt in everything Do everything to God’s Glory (Col 3:23)
