The Mission of this house is for people to Encounter God and Live for More. We exist to ENCOUNTER GOD. When we encounter God, we are empowered to LIVE FOR MORE.
It is through encountering the heart the Father for us that our purpose is unlocked.
It’s in our daily encounters that God will begin to reveal to you what your assignment is.
Purpose is always birthed through your daily encounters.
When we stop encountering God, when we stop the pursuit of the presence of God, we will always fall into a spiritual sleep.
5 SIGNS YOU'RE SPIRITUALLY ASLEEP
1. OUR ENCOUNTERS BECOME SURFACE-LEVEL
2. WE BECOME BLIND TO THE NEEDS AROUND US
3. OUR DISOBEDIENCE CREATES STORMS OTHERS MUST ENDURE
Satan wants us to stay asleep. He wants us to make groggy decisions. He wants us to stay in the darkness.
4. WE BURY OUR CALLING
When we stop responding to God's voice…our assignment gets buried.
5. OUR COMPASSION DIES
Spiritual sleep eventually changes what breaks our hearts.
3 PRAYERS TO WAKE US UP!
1. God, give me your EYES
Help me see people the way You see them.
Lord, remove my prejudice, my assumptions, and my distractions regarding this person! Let me see the value, potential, and purpose You've placed in every person!
Putting on Gods perspective does not mean you’re approving for sin, but you’re seeing the hurt and the pain behind the sin.
Who have I written off that God is still pursuing?
2. God, give me your HEART
Break my heart for what breaks yours.
As we spend time in God's presence, His burdens become our burdens.
Ask yourself, are the things that move me emotionally the things that move God’s heart?
3. God, give me your WORDS
Help me speak life wherever You send me.
Lord, make me sensitive to Your voice so I know when to speak, what to say, and when to remain silent.
OUR CALL TO ACTION!!!
Live for More
We are innately made to share what we love.
Let your LIGHT shine! You were not called to hide, but to SHINE!
The 7 spirits of God are the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord, and then the Holy Spirit.
We cannot light the dark places the enemy is dwelling without the DAILY light of the Holy Spirit within us.
Our intimate relationship with him, our daily oil with him, lights the lamp for our eyes to see through HIS LENS!
When we can be a vessel for the Kingdom, God will speak through us!
