PREACHING NOTES

JAMES 1:2-4 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

EVERY STRUGGLE IS SIGNIFICANT!

1 PETER 1:6-7 At present you maybe temporarily harassed by all kinds of trials. This is no accident. It happens to prove your faith.

JAMES 1:2 Be very happy when you are tested in different ways.

HOW DO YOU GET THROUGH THE TRIAL? LIVE by the PROMISES + FULFILL the COMMANDS.

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20a For no matter how many promises God has made, they are all “Yes” in Christ!

START TO SEE GOD’S DELAYS AS DEVELOPMENT.

GALATIANS 6:7 …you are going to harvest what you sow.

COLOSSIANS 1:27 Christ in you the hope of glory…

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 …anyone in Christ is a new creation, the old life is gone and a new life has begun.

MARK 4:26-27 Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is like someone who plants seed in the ground. Night and day, whether the person is asleep or awake, the seed still grows, but the person does not know how it grows.”

GALATIANS 6:9 Let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we WILL reap a harvest of blessing IF we don’t get discouraged and give up.

LIVING BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE

SERIES BIO: The Biblical narrative implies that a normal relationship with God includes miracle interventions. This is promised through Jesus' teachings, creating a vision that "all things are possible" to those who walk with God. If the miraculous, rising above even impossible situations, is the normative for the Christian, then how are we to activate such realities? How are we to encounter God, live in greater freedom and see Bible-level miracles happen for us? This Sunday we begin a several week series of teachings that will inspire, impact and infuse God's great heart of hope.

MATTHEW 17:20 NKJV [Jesus said] …for assuredly, I say to you, if you have FAITH AS A MUSTARD SEED, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU.

MARK 9:23 NKJV Jesus said to him, "If you can BELIEVE, ALL THINGS [ARE] POSSIBLE to him who BELIEVES."

TODAY

HEBREWS 4:1-3 TPT Now God has offered to us the same promise of entering into his realm of resting in CONFIDENT FAITH. So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all EMBRACE THE FULLNESS of that PROMISE and NOT FAIL TO EXPERIENCE IT. 2 For we have heard the good news of deliverance just as they did, yet THEY DIDN’T JOIN THEIR FAITH WITH THE WORD. Instead, what they heard didn’t affect them deeply, for they doubted. 3 For those of us who believe, FAITH ACTIVATES THE PROMISE and we EXPERIENCE the realm of confident rest!

NUMBERS 13:17-33 NIV 30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and TAKE POSSESSION of the land, for we can certainly do it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him SAID, “WE CAN'T attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a BAD REPORT (KJV – “EVIL REPORT”) about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored DEVOURS those living in it. All the PEOPLE WE SAWthere are of GREAT SIZE. 33 … We seemed like GRASSHOPPERS in our own eyes, and WE LOOKED THE SAME TO THEM.”

VERSE 30 - KJV – “Let us go up at once, and POSSESS IT; for WE ARE WELL ABLE to overcome it.”

NUMBERS 14:1 NIV That night ALL THE PEOPLE of the community raised their VOICES AND WEPT ALOUD. 2 ALL THE ISRAELITES GRUMBLED against Moses and Aaron… 10 But the WHOLE ASSEMBLY TALKED ABOUT STONING THEM. Then the glory of the Lord appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites. 11 The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people TREAT ME WITH CONTEMPT? How long will they REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN ME (KJV – “DESPISE ME”)…? …24 But because MY SERVANT CALEB has a DIFFERENT SPIRIT and FOLLOWS ME WHOLEHEARTEDLY, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it…

7 LESSONS LEARNED:

The PROMISED LAND is a symbol of God’s greatest blessings.
There will be OPPOSITION to receiving God’s promises.
Don’t follow POPULAR OPINION when it opposes God’s Word.
Cut the “DRAMA” and ask, “What did God say?”
A DIFFERENT SPIRIT will create a different outcome.
The FAITH PROCESS PROMOTES you to better opportunities.
YOU can limit God, or YOU can turn God’s power loose.

Psalm 78:41 KJV Yea, they TURNED BACK and TEMPTED GOD, and LIMITED the Holy One of Israel.

LIVING BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE

MARK 9:23 NKJV Jesus said to him, "If you can BELIEVE, ALL THINGS [ARE] POSSIBLE to him who BELIEVES."

TODAY

1 JOHN 5:14-15 NKJV Now this is the CONFIDENCE (FAITH) that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His WILL, He hears us. 15 And if WE KNOWthat He hears us, WHATEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW that WE HAVE the petitions that we have asked of Him.

THE FAITH PROCESS

We Know His Will
We Know He Hears Us
We Know We Have It

BIG IDEA

FAITH begins

where the WILL of God

is already KNOWN!

The GREATEST BARRIER

to OUR FAITH is

UNCERTAINTY about GOD’S WILL!

JOHN 1:1-2 NKJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD.

Our UNBELIEF about GOD’S PROMISES

is a DIRECT RESULT of

the WORD OF GOD having

LOST ITS AUTHORITATIVE-REALITY to us!

ROMANS 10:17 NKJV So then FAITH [comes] by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD OF GOD.

ACTION:

STEP 1:

What IMPOSSIBLE things

would you like

to EXPERIENCE with God?

STEP 2:

What do you KNOW to be

GOD’S WILL concerning your

AREA OF IMPOSSIBILITY?

MARK AND KIMBERLEY SPELLMAN

We are excited to welcome Mark and Kimberley Spellman as our guest speakers next week. They are “revivalist missionaries” with a passion for the nations. The Spellman family is a part of the LifePointe family, having attended LifePointe prior to launching their missionary vision. They are sure to light your fire for France, all of Europe and the world, …and ultimately apply it to your own corner of the world.

THE MISSION OF LOVE

Genesis 1:26-28 NKJV Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man in His [own] image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

1 Corinthians 15:48-49 NKJV As [was] the [man] of dust, so also [are] those [who are made] of dust; and as [is] the heavenly [Man], so also [are] those [who are] heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the [man] of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly [Man].

John 15:13 NKJV Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.

1 Timothy 1:5 NIV The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

Philemon 6 Laubach I pray that everyone who meets you may catch your faith and learn how wonderful it is to live in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:38-39 NLT And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow--not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below--indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Colossians 1:19-23 NKJV For it pleased [the Father that] in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight-- 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

1 Peter 3:15 NKJV But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always [be] ready to [give] a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear...

SERMON NOTES: LIVING BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE

SCRIPTURE TEXT:

MARK 9:23 NKJV Jesus said to him, "If you can BELIEVE, ALL THINGS [ARE] POSSIBLE to him who BELIEVES."

WHAT IS BIBLE FAITH? (PICK ONE)

1. A coping mechanism (a passive virtue)?

2. A catalytic receptor (causal force)?

FAITH IS A RECEPTOR

MARK 11:22-24 NKJV So Jesus answered and said to them, "HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but BELIEVES that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE that you RECEIVE[them], and you will have [them].

JAMES 1:5-8 NKJV If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will RECEIVE anything from the Lord; 8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

MATTHEW 17:20 NKJV [Jesus said] …for assuredly, I say to you, if you have FAITH AS A MUSTARD SEED, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU.

MARK 9:23 NKJV Jesus said to him, "If you can BELIEVE, ALL THINGS [ARE] POSSIBLE to him who BELIEVES."

QUESTION:

Do you have

any IMPOSSIBILITIES in your life,

that if became POSSIBLE,

would ALLEVIATE SUFFERING?

IMPOSSIBILITIES:

Absolute statistical truth
Confirmed as incapable of occurring
Mathematically beyond improbability
Transcends laws of physics
Without physical explanation
Requires divine intervention

HOW MIRACLES HAPPEN:

I don’t believe that miracles are LIMITED to RANDOM ACTS of GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY.
I believe miracles are PRE-EXISTING POTENTIALS, accomplished in CHRIST’S REDEMPTION, ACTIVATED by our engagement of SPIRITUAL LAW.
When miracles DON’T HAPPEN, it ISN’T because of LIMITATIONS in GOD’S SOVEREIGN-DESIRE, NOR our lack of SPIRITUAL BRAWN; BUT a lack of understanding of EXISTING SPIRITUAL LAW.

THE LAW OF FAITH

GALATIANS 3:5 NKJV Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works MIRACLES among you, [does He do it] by the WORKS OF THE LAW, or by the HEARING OF FAITH?

ROMANS 3:27 NKJV Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. BY WHAT LAW? Of WORKS? No, but by the LAW OF FAITH.

SHAMING STATEMENTS:

“If your faith was real you would not be experiencing challenges!”
“You must have sin in your life!”
“You didn’t pray hard enough!”
“You had doubt in your mind!”
“God is judging you!”

WHAT IS BIBLE FAITH?

A coping mechanism (a passive virtue)?
A catalytic receptor (causal force)?

WHAT IS BIBLE FAITH? (PASSIVE OR CAUSAL?)

WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD - MARK 5:25-34 NKJV And Jesus said to her, "Daughter, YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction."

ONE OF THE TEN LEPERS - LUKE 17:19 NKJV And Jesus said to him, "Arise, go your way. YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL.”

BLIND BARTEMEAUS – MARK 10:52 NKJV Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL." And immediately he received his sight…

JAMES 5:14-15 NKJV Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And THE PRAYER OF FAITH WILL SAVE THE SICK, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

FAITH IS A CATALYST RECEPTOR

QUESTION:

What IMPOSSIBLE things

would you like

to EXPERIENCE with God?

QUESTION:

What if over the next several weeks

we could look at the principles that govern

MIRACLE-FAITH as CATALYTIC RECEPTOR?
