The Power From Heaven: Walking In The Spirit

Galatians 5:16-17 

Walking in the Spirit is living in the conscious presence of the lord Jesus Christ, letting his mind, through the word, dominate everything that is thought and done. Being filled with the Spirit is the same as walking like Jesus did on earth.  

But Fullness presupposes something.  

What? 

Emptiness!

Where Is God When I Suffer?

How Can I Be Sure That God is With Me? 

Richard Burton 

1 King 18-19 

3 Places you can always find God & e ways we can be assured of His presence: 

1.Past places 

1.V.36-39 

2.Providential Places  

3.Private places  

1.19:11-13 

Our tendency is to look for the miracle. If you only look for God in the big things sometimes you may miss Him. Sometimes He is in the small things.  

What Are You Doing Here?

1 Kings 18-19 

What are you doing in your life?  

Three ways to interpret the question:

      What Are You Doing Here? 

Three decisions that Elijah made to put him in the wrong place:

      He listened to the wrong voices. 

      Who's voice are you listening to? 

       The voice of the Devil? 

        The voice of other people?

He went to the wrong places.

      When we are in the wrong places, it negatively effects our testimony.  

He separated himself from the right places.

                                    Revival can start with just ONE person who is 

                                    willing to pay the price, hi get for God to do 

                                    something awesome.

                                    person, revival can be held back by just one

                                    person.
