notes from this weekend

The weekend was about Luke 8

She asked a question when she first came out? "Why the Word?" Why do I study the Word? Why hear the Word? Because we need to be men and women of means spiritually... We need to have something to offer a dying world...


We need to be on the Narrow road without having narrow minds. In Chapter 8 of Luke it starts out with women who heard the Word and acted on it.

Beth said her whole mind was broken from her upbringing and the study of the Holy Scriupture is what healed her mind!!! Halejujah!

Luke 8:8 says that the seed could produce a 100 fold harvest in a life - Maximum Impact in a life

Genesis 26:12 says that Isaac reaped a 100 fold harvest because God had blessed him.

Galations 7:29 says that the children of the new covenant are blessed by the promises gave to Abraham

This 100 fold blessing is not a random number. God does not want 100 fold more work or for us to be exhausted... We have 5 minutes on this planet in light of eternity. We need to hhave this 100 fold mindset if we are going to have an maximum impact. Sometimes it comes from breaking up the unplowed ground like in Hosea 10:12

7 Phrases that We would allow God to have 100 fold harvest for the glory and Fame of God

1.Treasure the Wonder of the Word
-v. 10 been given the secrets of the Kingdom of God. We are children of the Most High God! We are able to receive revelation.... AMAZING!!!! We can recieve His very life breath Breath...
-the God of the Universe wants to share His heart with you and I and it is progresive revelation. It keeps getting more and more and more!
-we need to anticipate on seeing greatness out of His Word... II Timothy 3:16-17, All Scripture is God breathed. The same breath that He breathed into Adam, He breaths into us when we inhale His Word

This Word "Thoroughly Equips"

Thoroughly = now, just now, lately
Equips = sufficent, compotent

God is soooo gracious in putting us in a generation that fits us to everythiing about us. He equips us to do His will

v.12 is the 1st of 2 hearers - those who hear but never believe becasue the enemy comes and steals the Word

2.Protect Your Heart

The devil's all about "that they may not" Luke 8:12


Christ is "That they may have" John 10:10

HIDE THIS WORD - the word that He gives you in your quiet time


the devil is all about the NOT

Jesus SOWS HIS WORD.... the greek word for sows is the same one in Luke 8:36 when Jesus "cures" the demon possesion. SOZO is the word...


Faith and freedom are inseparable! What do I believe about what God can do in my life????


THAT WAS ALL JUST ON FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!

more to come....
