  • 1. What is holding you back?
    2. What is it that you want to see take place in your your own walk with the Lord? Am I living a Personal life (what I want) and a spiritual life (what God wants)?
    3. What do you want from your church?
    4. How satisfied have we become with what we have and who we are?
    5. Are we being good stewards of God’s blessings or are we squandering them?
    Psalm 37:7 AV
    7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
    “Every Christian will become at last what his desires have made him. We are the sum total of all our hungers. The great saints have all had thirsting hearts. Their cry has been, ‘My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?’ Their longings after God all but consumed them; it propelled them onward and upward to heights toward which less ardent Christians look with languid eye and entertain no hope of reaching.”
    “Our problem is not that our desires are too strong but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered to us and like an ignorant child who wants to go on making muds pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday by the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

    A Call to Dedicate Ourselves to God’s Word

    KNOW GOD’S WORD

    Remember God’s Word

    Keep God’s Word

    Psalm 119:11 AV
    11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
    Ezekiel 3:1–5 AV
    1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. 2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. 4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. 5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
    Jeremiah 15:16 AV
    16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
    Colossians 3:16 AV
    16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

    Apply God’s Word

    Proverbs 16:1–5 AV
    1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. 4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. 5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

    “Do I want to be the person people want or be the person people need?”
    “A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family. He must have a cause to which he is devoted even unto death, for this is written into the fabric of his being. That is why God created you–to be his intimate ally, to join him in the Great Battle.”
