How To Have A Prosperous Year (Part 2) - Brent Lokkerrfochler
Slides for talk given on January 14, 2017 at Blazing Fire Church. Pastor Brent Lokker gives keys for being prosperous and healthy in our body, soul, and spirit. The podcast can be heard at http://blazingfire.podbean.com/e/how-to-have-a-prosperous-new-year-pt-2-brent-lokker/
The Examen is a spiritual exercise originally designed for the Jesuits by Ignatius Loyola. This edition is adapted from “Examen of Consciousness: Finding God in all things” by
Phyllis Zagano.
Few things are as fundamental to the abundant life Jesus came to give us than our continual commitment to being grateful in all circumstances. 1 Thessalonians 1:18 and Eph. 5:20 make it abundantly clear that God requires us to always gives thanks to Him no matter what happens because He has promised to make all things work together for good for us ( Rom. 8:28)!
Life outside of gratitude is a lie. Life outside of gratitude is poison to our soul. God will help us, but we must choose to give Him thanks as Job did in his great losses. We must allow God to be somewhat mysterious and trust Him no matter what evil befalls us. That is real faith.

This prayer model is from the book "The Hour That Changes the World". The author presents 12 sections of prayer that if practiced for 5 minutes each would accumulate an hour of prayer a day for the development of a habit of prayer. Eventually, once the habit is developed, a more intimate, personal prayer devotion can be created. Very useful for those who want to know how to pray.

Coming Home To Our True Identity - Charles Razzellrfochler
Charles Razzell contrasts the attitudes and outcomes for two men who encountered God's power: Simon the Sorcerer and Paul the Apostle (Acts chapters 8 & 9). God calls us to experience sonship and values us accordingly, whereas many of us still tend to assess each other for what we do. The best possible outcome is when we know who we are in Christ and live accordingly; Jesus being the Vine, and we the branches.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

3. This year, I experience the Father’s love,
the grace of Jesus,
and the intimacy and power of the Holy Spirit
in greater measure than ever before!
This year, I discover with greater clarity
the infinite value I have as a God’s favored child
and what I’m alive to release
for the benefit of others!
Declarations for 2017
This year, I learn to rest in the Lord
listen to His voice
and enjoy the journey more!
4. This year, I unapologetically receive
God’s super-abundant grace and favor.

and bring hope to the world!
This year, I love God well,
I love myself well,
And I love others well
Because LOVE WINS!

intentional steps towards the dreams
God has placed in my heart!
9. Proverbs 3:5-6 (BLT)
Trust the Lord with a whole heart and
don’t rely on how you perceive things are
going. Do life with God by experiencing
His goodness instead of hardening your
heart or tuning Him out when things get
tough. And He will take you on a more
direct route to his purposes for your life
(your own perceptions and choices to
harden your heart can cause you to
wander for longer periods of time)

11. • We need a royalty mindset, not a poverty one
• We’re made in the image of our benevolent
King
• 1 Corinthians 16:2
• Luke 6:37-38
12. Galatians 1:3 in TPT
I pray over you a release of the blessings of
God’s undeserved kindness and total well
being* that flows from our Father-God and
from the Lord Jesus.
*Shalom—health, prosperity, peace and
total well being
