Dancing The Journey: Week 3

Character and Nature of God

I found it very interesting that the Bible doesn’t try and prove the existence of God. From Genesis 3 - Revelation 21 is all about redemption.

God is a gracious God and we need to let that characteristic show through us. The better we know God the more peaceful you will be in hard situations.

God sees and knows everything we do! He understands better than we can about what we are going through!!

God calls himself MY provider! I love that!

The Devil won’t attack your strong points!!! That was such a good reminder for me.

God is Love, Anger, Just/Righteous, Holy and Compassionate. He has all these characteristics at the same time he doesn’t ever just have one of them. I thought this was just a good point and good for me to see because sometimes I get so caught up in one or two of the characteristics and don’t fully comprehend or appreciate God for ALL his attributes.

When God calls you to do something HE WILL MAKE THE WAY!!!

Dreams and Visions

Praying “In The Name Of Jesus” makes a difference.

We are like Simba in The Lion King.

We don’t have a big roar but are daddy behind us does!

Where we are weak God is strong.

Jesus goes before us! He is there before we pray, have a quiet time or evangelize.

Persist in prayer! God’s will is for break through! Pray with AUTHORITY!!! Our prayers have POWER!!!

It’s not our job to convert people! Our purpose is to do the will of the Holy Spirit!

Outreach

Outreach was great! It was awesome to just be able to build fellowship with the teenagers in the town! I think we were really able to show Christians in a good light just by hanging out and talking with them and not condemning them but showing Jesus’s LOVE.

Summery

This week was very interesting! I felt like I learned a lot of things I didn’t know about the Holy Spirit and healing! I am so excited to see what the Holy Spirit has to say to me. The lecture has really encouraged and challenged me to take time to sit and listen to what he has to say.

The Memory Verse

Psalms 145:8-9

The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The LORD is good to all; he as compassion on all he has made.
