The Kingdom of God advancing = Opposition
• We must be PROACTIVE in prayer and NOT REACTIVE in it
• We aren’t simply starting a business - Satan wasn’t scared when the quicky lube came to town
• We are preparing a place for the GLORY of GOD to dwell. A place where people will encounter Jesus and forever be changed. And for that reason, we are seeing and will see opposition

Most people think naturally first
• We don’t depend on God as much as we should
• We have insurance policies and backup plans
• “If God doesn’t come through, I still have….”
• Before God does something BIG, He brings us to the end of ourselves

Abraham and Sarah
• God chose an old barren woman to bear the child of the promise through
• God gets the glory - HE made the Israelites prosperous, not the efforts of man

THE TROWEL = the natural (movement)
• If our builder stayed at home all day and prayed that the building would be supernaturally renovated by angels, God would not honor that
• It’s not a matter of whether or not God COULD do that

THE SWORD = Prayer (Spiritual Fight)
• It is our JOB and DUTY to pray to send prayers ahead of us and ahead of this project
• GET INTO HART - Prayer walks, put your hands on buildings, and PRAY, etc.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE
• Pray for discernment
• Not EVERYTHING is demonic, but we also don’t want to be ignorant
We have a part to play both in the prayer closet and as a functioning part of the body of Christ
• It’s a marriage of being still in secret, and being obedient outside the prayer closet
• If you don’t feel a burden for Oceana County and/or this new campus, that does not mean you are “off the hook,” or that you need to find another church
• Maybe that's what these 21 days are for you, connecting your heart to this through prayer and fasting, asking God for His burden
