GOD'S WILL AND THE CHURCH
Sister Wanping sharing...
- God is always at work in and around a church.
- God pursues a continuting love relationship with His church that is real and personal.
- God invites a church to become involved in His work.
- When a church sees where God is at work, that is their invitation to join Him in what He is doing.
- God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church.
- A church will face a crisis of belief when God invites them to become involved in a work only He can accomplish. Faith and action will be required.
- A church will have to make major adjustments in order to join God in His work.
- A church is totally dependent on God for accomplishing tasks of Kingdom value.
- Apart from God a church can do nothing of Kingdom value.
- As a church obeys God, they will come to know Him by experience as He does wonderful things through them.
- We are in the race to become more like Jesus.
- We as brothers and sisters in Christ, need to encourage one another.
- It's tough to be a Christian so we need support by one another.
- You cannot find your purpose in the church unless you find the purpose in God.
1 Corinthians 12:7
- Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
1 Corinthians 12:18
- But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11 (The Message Bible)
- God's various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit, and to all kinds of people! The variety is wonderful:
- wise counsel
- clear understanding
- simple trust
- healing the sick
- miraculous acts
- proclamation
- distinguishing between spirits
- tongues
- interpretation of tongues.
All these gifts have a common origin, but are handed out one by one by the one Spirit of God. He decides who gets what, and when.
- There is a purpose for us in the church.
1 Corinthians 12:25-26 (The Message Bible)
- The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don't, the parts we see and the parts we don't. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance.
- When one person hurts, the rest suffers. That's how the church should function.
- We need to love the church.
- Sometimes we run out of love coz of disappointment. That's not God's love, it's human's love, like limited.
- If we tell the truths to one another, they will also learn the truth.
Hebrews 10:24-25
- And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
- This meeting is about we gather together to fellowship n talks about God.
- We cannot use the wrong thing to fulfill the assignment.
- God will look at your relationship to fulfill His assignment.
- Sometimes when we says we are fine, but actualli we are not.

EXPERIENCING GOD THROUGH OBEDIENCE
Brother Rixiang sharing...
- Be a Jesus freak, you need to obey God.
- Obedience is a cause => the value of inputs that has been used up to produce something.
- Obedience is believing and trusting in God. 100%!!!
- You need to pay a price to obey God.
The importance of obedience:
Deuteronomy 28:1
- If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.
Deuteronomy 28: 8
- The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
The importance of disobedience:
Deuteronomy 28:15
- However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you
Deuteronomy 28:20
- The LORD will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.
- Obedience is not a set of rules to follow or abide.
- God gave us 2nd chance.
1. Need to adjust your life out of comfort zone.
John 14:23
- Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he
will obey my teaching. My Father
will love him, and we
will come to him and make our home with him.
Will => decide, choose
- Put God 1st!!!
- God wil work when we decided to come out of comfort zone.
2. The cause of being a servant of God.
Luke 6:46-49
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."
SERVANTS DON'T ASK QUESTIONS. YOU JUST DO IT!!!
- Focus can kill
- You will have power if you focus on God.
- If you are facing conscious then you are not Glorly conscious.
3. You need to pay a price to obey.
Genesis 22:1-13 (You all can go read yourself, i wont post it out coz it's too long.. ^^)
Genesis 22:15-18
- The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
- If Christianity is not going to cost you, you are wasting your time.
- If you don't want to leave Him, some others will!!

ADJUSTING YOUR LIFE TO GOD
Pastor Daniel sharing...
Ephesians 5:15-17
- Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.
- Don't be careless but be careful.
250 millions x 250 millions of stars
Elpha centauri => smallest star
- It is a pleasure to be love by God.
Luke 9:23-24
- Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.
- You've got to make a major of adjustment.
- Adjust your life to God.
- You cannot stay where you are to go with God.
- Christian cannot be racist.
Means cannot hate other races. =)
- If you want to do the assignment, you've to make adjustment.
2 Corinthians 8:9
- For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
- There is no way of obeying without adjusting!
Matthew 6:24
- "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
- If you never put God in the first place. Everything will be out of place.
Will you give up everything for God?
- Every adjustment that God make is a good adjustment.
Kinds of adjustments
- In your circumstances
- In your relaionships
- In your thinking
- In your commitments
- In your actions
- In your beliefs
- Absolute surrender
- Your life is the ministry.
- Everything goes back to your attitude.
- If we want to be real christians, you have to be committed.
- Committed and involve is 2 different things.
- Christian cannot be mediocre.
mediocre means middle of the rock.
- We give our life to little or nothing even though we don't know what is the little or nothing.
Jim Elliot: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
Bob Pierce: "Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God."

CRISIS OF BELIEF
Pastor Daniel sharing...
Hebrews 11:6
- And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
- Crisis of belief is a y-junction that demands that you make a decision.
God want us to respond:
1. By Faith
Hebrews 11:1
- Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
2 Corinthians 5:7
- We live by faith, not by sight.
John 14:12
- I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
- Faith is confidence that what God has said will happen. Sight is an opposite of faith.
- Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible.
FAITH BEGINS WHERE MAN'S POWERS END.
- Show faith by obedience.
- Obedience indicates faith in God.
- Disobedience often indicates a lack of faith.
Mark 10:27
- Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
- God's assignment, only God can do it.
- We need to be aware how God speaks to us.
- God will not ask us to do something that is within our control.
- What you believe about Him will determine what you do.
- He wants people to know Him through us.
Daniel 3:28-29
- Then Nebuchadnezzar said, "Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way."
The reason much of the world is not being attracted to Christ. Why?
- God's people lacks that faith that only God can do.
"lift Jesus higher" means let the world see Jesus at work.
- Let Christ be lifted up-not in words but by actions.
2. By action
- Be responsible for our own spiritual life.
- Faith requires actions.
