Notes:

  • Hebrews 6:12 KJV When people see us, they should see Jesus. No sloth. Faith and patience. Having done all to stand is a picture of patience. Aggression in the Word is using the Word. Believing is an action, doing something. Speak it and apply it. Meditate on the Word.

  • Ephesians 6:10-13 Be empowered in our union with Him. Draw strength from Him. When negative thoughts come, speak faith, using the Word of God. Put on all of the armor, not just some of it. Our problem is not with people. Our wrestle is not with flesh and blood. The enemy is subtle, slick, sly. Don't let somebody else change your attitude. Stay attentive on your own responsibilities and duties.

  • James 1:22 Being a doer of the Word results in a blessed person. Believing means DOING. I am a doer of the Word. God wants to meet EVERY need in my life, spiritually, physically, mentally, etc.

  • Picture of Grace: Jesus seeing me fallen in the mud, embracing me, lifting me out of the mud, and cleaning me up.

  • Don't worry if you are not there yet. It's a process. Stick with it, you will develop.

  • Police need only radio in, and backup is on the way! We have this authority with God's power. Help is on the way!

  • Matthew 5:48 Be complete, developed, mature.

  • Character is very important in our lives. Don't exaggerate details. Don't deceive people. Speak the Truth with love. Stretching the truth is lying. Lying is not cute, nor is it funny. The truth will make us free. There is no white lie. A believer has two choices, either speak the truth or don't even open your mouth.

  • Philippians 4:8 Think on these things...

  • Read Proverbs

  • No matter how young, or uneducated a person is, reading the Word of God still works!

  • 2 Corinthians 1:20 KJV Parallels of growing up physically, mentally, and spiritually. Spiritual growth is not limited to time. Stay with it until you get it.

  • Mark 4:14 Sow the Word in your heart and you will mature quickly in your spirit. Take the time. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

  • Ephesians 4:11 NLT Five Fold Ministry. I am blessed to be a blessing to others. Speak the Truth in love. Growing... growing... growing. Maturing, developing, growing. The idea is to be like Jesus. We have spiritual ability and capacity to be just like Jesus.

  • Luke 6:40 We will be like our master. We can be complete, mature, whole. We are learning from the ones who have an impression on us. Who is my master? Who do I adopt my behaviors, thoughts and beliefs from? Who is my master? Jesus is our standard. The Word of God is our standard.

  • Galatians 3:13 We receive the promise by faith and patience. The enemy tries to cause people to believe that the curse is greater than the blessing. It is not so. The blessing frees us from the curse.

  • John 14:7 People should see God through our lives. Peace, joy, wisdom, all of the fruit of the Spirit should be seen in our lives. This should attract people.

  • Never say, “well, you know, nobody is perfect.” It's not truth. Now we know what perfect means.
