Main points from this week's message:
Making Room for a Miracle
Main Point: NAMING A NEED IS NOT THE SAME AS NAMING A POSSIBILITY
“Faith BEGINS when we ENGAGE something that is not… and start calling it possible!”
Talk-it-Out: One of the best things you can do to make room for a miracle is to not linger on the problem. How can you turn a problem you’re facing around that leaves room in your mind for the possibilities?
Main Point: MAKING ROOM FOR A MIRACLE ALWAYS STARTS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
“Because what you have is everything you need to do what God is calling you to do.”
Talk-it-Out: It is easy to focus on what you don’t have rather than what you do. With the vision or dream you are believing God for, what might you already have in your hand, what gift or talent do you have that could be the catalyst for your miracle?
Main Point: PREPARATION MAKES ROOM FOR POSSIBILITY
“Prepare yourself and your day will come.” - Abraham Lincoln
Talk-it-Out: It isn’t necessary to have great faith. All you need is a little to open up the possibilities for your miracle. What can you do to prepare for your miracle? (Do you need to do research for the book you want to write? Do you need to go back to school? Do you need to go to Growth Track or host a Life Group?
Main Point: Jesus said if you have faith as small as a mustard seed we can say to a mountain “be removed” NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
Talk-it-Out: Have you been afraid to ask God for the impossible? Are you willing to make room in your mind for it?
Main Point: When we present a request, it forces us to engage the possibility… think beyond the problem and lean into the possibility.
Talk-it-Out: What are you believing God for?
WRITE-IT-OUT
Write down a new vision for the possibilities in a need or request you have. Is there an idea you’re suppose to pursue? A business you are suppose to start?
LIVE-IT-OUT
This week, give your request, your heart’s desire, your dreams, to God in prayer.
