Connect 21 Commitment Card

http://bit.ly/luccommitcard18
Pastor Patricia Gregory
A.S.K.

When we say we’re Christians, we commit to a supernatural lifestyle full of supernatural faith that gives us direct access to supernatural resources with supernatural answers and supernatural experiences.

I. Access: What happens when we pray?

John 14:12-14 KJV
[12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. [13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
1. Choose faith
2. Work your faith
3. Same and greater than Jesus
4. Be Humble
5. For HIS glory

And just in case you think you can ask just anything, Jesus makes it clear.

John 14:15 AMPC
[15] If you really love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.

7. Asking according to HIS will is necessary thus knowing HIS Word.

John 14:20 AMPC
[20] At that time when that day comes you will know for yourselves that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.

John 14:21-23 KJV
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. [22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? [23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

8. Jesus affirms HIS promises towards us... God in, with and through US! The Father will do it for you because if He’s in you then realize that He is doing it for Himself!!!

II. Supernatural: What should we expect?

Ephesians 3:19-20 KJV
[19] And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. [20] Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

1. The Anointed one and HIS Anointing apparent in our lives.
a. His wild and passionate attachment/love to/towards us.
2. The unexplainable.
3. A strong desire to see the supernatural.
a. Being filled with the fulness of God...having and doing all that HE has enabled us to do.
4. Expect the unexpected.
a. According to how we’re working that anointing’s power and us allowing it to work in us.

III. Knowledge: What do we know to do?

Hebrews 10:22-23 KJV
[22] Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. [23] Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

1. Sincere in our faith and confidence
2. Clear hearts and clean bodies
3. Watch your mouth.

Your meditation should match your medication...Until your meditation makes your medication unnecessary.
