Steven furtick sermon

Offense - Drop it
**************
John 10:10 Enemy objection = destruction
strategy = division
tactic = offense

God drop the charges agst me, bcoz i'm forgiven, i can forgive

Offense built up 1 by 1
How quickly to get over it?
Drop it

Release is always available even though reconciliation is not available.
forgiveness is setting the prisoner free and found out the prisoner is You.

Offense = event
Offended = decision or Choice


Tired of fighting ?
**************
Saul having spear in his hands
David hvg harp in his hand (worship)
Saul spear missed david (arrow cannot hit, bcoz there’s  shield of faith)

Why?
God hands is upon David when David fully surrender  himself to God
His shield was shield of FAITH

Fight not with flesh and blood...
We don’t fight for victory
we fight from victory

Unblock it
**************
When Blame, blocking blessings
Just like complain, leaking blessings

The blessings need to go beyond, don’t stop there. Just like Abraham God bless him thanks.. he S blessings to. others. It doesn’t stop there.

Nothing can stop the purpose of God except our unbelieve!!

We can block God from doing something thru us.

PRAISE UNBLOCKED PRESENCE OF GOD IN OUR LIFE!!
caution: Fear & unbelieve cause blockage in our life.

Malachi tithes, test and see, pour out his blessings that not enough room to contain them.

When faith increase, the generosity to increase also in tandem.

Fix ur focus:
**************

Happiness is not finding the right person but being the right person 

What u magnify, u focus on 

Your spouse or child........

U magnify what they don’t hv or MAGNIFY WHAT THEY HAVE!!

Bring magnify glass to see our self and examine, Any area that God wants us to change.

Magnify 

Not what we are

But who he is!

It’s God job, He knows, He has, to fulfil our needs!

The Blessing of Both (Ecclesiastes-sow morning, night)
***************************************
Both grow together, the seed of goodness and weed.
our job to cnue sow...and don't sort, God will get his angel to sort it. Praise Him in good and bad times, its both. Joseph said its both, pain & purpose.

Genesis 48:14-20

14 But Israel reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim’s head,though he was the younger, and crossing his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh’s head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn. (bless both but not in sequence or norm, His way)

that all things work together for good for those who loves him.

Knock knock: (Acts 12)

**************

Eg.** Peter at the prison, angel said get up..after that then the chain fell off.
Many times, ppl ask why get up? 
Be in a place of rest..
Get up and then the chain fell off. 

Obey then freedom came
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen.
**Peter get up and put the sandals, follow me, said angel (get dressed). like gps, know the next thing..
Faith is getting dressed, even though not knowing where hes going.
Most of the time, we don't know what we are going thru, until the work is done. The gate open by God. Peter walk thru it...WE GOT TO GO THRU IT!
Sometimes, we stand and knocking, it already open, we just have to go thru it! That u stay in the furnace, the gate and still survive.
GOD IS GOING TO GET ME THRU.......IT AND I DONT KNOW HOW.

We must know where to knock when we are in trouble. Knock the same door, aww...!
Peter knows where to knock. MUST KNOCK ON THE RIGHT DOOR TODAY
