Notes:- You don’t belong to yourself; have no say in this life the Lord has planned for you- Saul on road to Damascus... Ananias... how much he must suffer- You will not reign with Him if you do not suffer with Him- He didn't raise you up to use His gifts for your pleasure- Paul's shipwreck; as long as you depend on anything more than on Jesus, he will smash it- Paul gathering sticks... snake bitten. Expected to die but no harm came to him. God has reason for everything; people are watching- Anyone can hand out tracts... serve the Lord and people change...- Don't put faith in people; they will disappoint.- Publius: Paul was sent to show God through healing- God has chosen you to suffer to show Himself to people- You won't cruise into glory; your ship will be shattered

Topic: Suffering

Notes:- Paul on his way to Rome... ship... storm- When God's storm designed for you rages, you may have too many things you rely on... we think we can help God out- We are all headed for a storm... get rid of extra weight- When the flesh dies, faith of God rises up inside...- Lord said take heart, no one will die, but they were shipwrecked- God does not make it easy but does make a way- Get rid of it before God gets rid of it for you- We are never to love a thing... love Him

Scripture: Galatians 5:1; Acts 13:1-3

Topic: Fasting

Notes:- Live in the liberty Christ gives- David humbled his soul with fasting- Cannot hear from God if my soul is bent toward the world- Cannot get direction from God until you've prayed and fasted- When you pray and fast you don't miss God's will- The devil will do anything to deceive you when fasting- Fasting is to crucify the flesh... if I'm not hungrier for Jesus then something went awry- We start with good intentions...then we argue or glory in the accomplishment- It's not what you put in your body but what comes from your heart- If you feel condemnation it is not of Jesus- I'm not to be your judge... to tell you how to seek God- Bear one another's burdens- When we fast we are coughing it up... emotions, feelings... rooting up what distances us from God- What you think is a weakness in your life may be your strength- Galatians... people moved into legalism. Cannot trust Jesus and keep the law. Law give to Israel, not gentiles.
