I am blessed and highly favored!

*** Notes from today's sermon ***

Pastor Troy Ingram

Subject : The mind of Christ

Scripture reading;

Luke 1 : 26 - 37

Thought: As I think, so am I. ( we are never far apart from our thinking)

Challenge : To speak God's word to lead me
- if we don't follow God's Word we will follow our own Word.

Because we are blessed we will always have. When you pray to God for something thank him before it happens, praise him while you wait for it!

The same angel (Gabriel) that spoke with Mary spoke to Daniel 509 years earlier.
- The prince of Persia tried to stop Gabriel from his assignment, but Gabriel did not let him deter him from his assignment.
- Don't let anything get in the way of what God has assigned to you. God has given us all assignments for our lives.

We are blessed and highly favored! Be prepared for greatness!!!

The devil thought he had you when you fell. But with God on our side we can get up and overcome! We don't have to stay down, we are blessed and highly favored!

Gabriel told Mary she will conceive a son in her womb. Mary probably thought he meant when she was married. However what Gabriel was saying was "though shall conceive as soon as you receive"

God is blessing us in abundance!

Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the World!

When Mary received what the angel said she conceived it because she believed it.

• AS WE THINK, SO ARE WE!

God's wisdom helps me see

*** NOTES FROM SEP 16th ***

Proverbs 3

John 9

Subject : The mind of Christ

Thought: I need the wisdom of God

* Wisdom : the ability to judge correctly and follow the best course of action.

Challenge : To stand on the wisdom of God

God wants us to see with our hearts first.

We speak by faith things that are not yet seen as though they where!

Paul said to the Corinthians "become a fool so that you may become wise"

Proverbs 3:1 - God is saying to us, "Don't forget what I told you" - For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. (Proverbs 3:2 KJV)

How can we forget the God that has provided and protected us?

There is nothing better than the protection of God!

? Admit my faults.
- we need to check ourselves before we check others.

Acknowledging the things that have affected you is one thing, but know that in Christ you are a new creature.

In everything give thanks.

Say What God Said - Speak Life

We lift our hands to God in worship...​

THE PROMISE LAND

Thought: What's been on my mind

Challange : To set my course, climate and condition with Gods Word.

Genesis 22

Luke 6:45

Think before you speak

When Jesus spoke he was always speaking in obedience to the father. He spoke in truth and right standing.
Do I really want the truth?
When we speak are we saying what God says?

When we pray are we prioritizing our needs before our wants?

Vengeance belongs to the Lord.

Trust in the Lord with all they might, we can not trust in ourselves because our minds are finite!

We believe God for something we can't see. I the world that's crazy. The Bible says blessed is he who does not see yet belives.

Abraham beleived God, when God spoke he moved.

Start to do what God tells you.

Many of us should have died a longtime ago, but God saw it fit for us to live on. He continues to deliver us from the enemy.

WE ARE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS!

At the name of Jesus all knees shall bow, every tung will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Stay in Expectation!

Co-Pastor Gloria Ingram

2 Kings 4:21-37

Psalm 62:5

Challange : To rejoice because it's already done!

Thought : Am I walking in expectation?

Don't put your expectation on people places and things, but put them on God!

We need to stay in expectation of what God is about to do.

Three types of believers

  • The believer with no expectation 
  • The believer with low expectation 
  • The believer with high expectation

God spoke and things happened. We need to live in his likeness. We need to speak God's words. God's Word says "Death and life is in the power of the tongue" .

We need to live in high expectation. As children of God we should not live beneath our priveleges.

The mind can be positive or negative. Thoughts control your actions and what you become. In other words unless you believe, nothing will happen. You have to believe you can be better, you have to believe you can get that job, etc.

Only God can turn a dead situation into life. God can revive anything! What needs to be revived in your life?
Your marriage?
Your passion for life?
Relation ships in your family?
What are you believing God for?

Jesus sent 70 deciples on their way and told them not to take anything with them. He wanted them to be in expectation every day... Can we live in that kind of expectation?

The 70 returned from being sent out and rejoiced after witnessing what God did for them on thier journey.

God wants us to trust him when he first speaks, not AFTER we witnessed something.

With God we should live in the expectation that it's already done!

Rejoice now because it's already done!

This week: Corporate Challange, expect God to do something great this week.
We are not going to talk negative
Think positive
Speak positive
Have scriptures available to redirect your negative thoughts.
