Look Up!
Notes from today's service.
1. Luke 21:28
Look up for our redemption draws nigh.
Jesus tells us to look up in these last days when perilous times are upon the earth.
2. Men of God in the bible who "looked up"
David looked up to hills and got a revelation that his help comes from God. Psalm 121:1-2
Stephen looked up and saw the heavens opened and Jesus sitting at the right hand of God.
Abraham looked up at the stars and did not consider the deadness of Sarah's womb
3. Looking down, we are faced with:
Our circumstances
our limitations
men's faces
the glory of the world
our weakness
our own abilities
our bills
our past
our mistakes
4. The devil tempted Jesus:
to look down at His empty stomach
to jump down the mountain
to look down on the glory of the kingdoms of the earth
5. the devil wants us to look down. The Word of God wants us to look up!
6. We can look up to by reading the Word of God and believing what God says about us.
The Word says we are seated in heavenly places with Christ, far above principalities & powers....
7. Isaiah 40:25-26, 28-31
Looking up will cause your strength to be renewed, you will be focused, encouraged
8. Joel 2:28; Ephesians 3:20
Looking up will cause you to dream big dreams
God wants us to dream big dreams. He will surpass your biggest dreams!
9. The Kingdom of God is in levels. The Word wants us to go from glory to glory. So start
somewhere.
10. God is interested in establishing you. He wants to bring your dreams to pass and give you new dreams.
11 . Pick up your discarded dreams! Anything that is causing us to dream small is not God! God wants us to progress until we dominate our circumstances to be so blessed where people can SEE it! Malachi 3:10.
12. Romans 15:13. Hoping in God will fill us with joy and peace in anticipation of our breakthrough. You cannot hope while looking down. You must look up to hope. The things around us do not inspire hope so look into the Word of God for your hope! Romans 8:24-27. Our God is a God of hope.
13. Do not postpone your hope! Hope deferred makes the heart sick. Proverbs 13:12. Postponed hope causes discouragement.
14. Don't wait to get your overdue dream to come to pass. Luke 13:10-17. It is God's desire to fulfill your dream today!
15. Haggai 1:2-11. Dream killers : things that postpone dreams.
our confession:- "the time has not yet come"
disobedience:-
16. 1 Kings 17:3-9. Don't restrict God: God is your source. Not your job. Stop praying for the dried brook! Let God show you a new stream. You are the Elijah of the story. You are not the widow. Stop waiting for your prophet to show up. As a son of God, you are anointed to bless others and cause them to prosper!
Look up saints! Look up for your victory! Look up for your deliverance! Look up for your redemption draws near.
Prayer requests:
- every overdue dream, be birthed now!
- new streams of income, open up now! Show me my widow of Zarepath.
- Lord cause us to dream again. Send us new dreams.
