It will take me a while to digest all of it, so for now I’m just collecting my notes (from him and Promise Keepers) here [Read More] for future reference. Note that some of these are more my reflections rather than direct notes from the speakers…
A. I feel Shame because:
B. I experience Judgement because:
C. I will Repent in order to
God’s redemptive process
Generations of Civilizations
In order to win freedom:
I. Spheres of Responsibility
A. Personal
B. Relational
C. Topical
II. Listening to God [John Dawson]
Blessed are those who hear and observe.
Don’t deny common sense, but sometimes transcend it
Seek God versus [being forced to] run into Him
Only trust impressions that align with:
Seek today’s manna
Gifts are given for the purpose of encouragement [self and others]
Don’t seek a method, seek God
Three voices: God, flesh, devil
We have authority to silence the devil
Must die to flesh to silence it (blank check)
III. Discovering Purpose
Men yell, Women scream [Brad Stine]
Men with purpose make history
History creates pessimists; optimists create the future [ENP]
[Samuel Rodrigues?]
Praying for his son when dropping off at school [with a kiss, even in High School]
Because God’s power is in him.
The purpose of God is greater than the brokenness of Man
IV. Becoming Awakened [Wellington Boone]
Ephesians 6:10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”
Challenges are not cause for fear
Home first
make one woman happy
blow her mind
Genesis 1 – reason we’re alive: live for God
Go from sin management to inner transformation
Leave a pure seed for the next generation
Must “run our heart” right to “run our homes” right
Authentic authority vs. abdicating responsibility
Wife takes your name, shares your destiny: spiritual leadership
But, where’s the cross?
V. Living Awakened
Take God to Work
“You cannot spill what you do not carry”
Jesus did “work” in 122 of 132 places, 45 of 52 parables
all but 1 of the heroes in Hebrews 11 were “workers” not priests
Holy Spirit like ‘Remote Desktop ‘
Increase our value at work by out-serving
Acts 13:36 “accomplished God’s purpose in His generation”
You are bigger than your job description
Epilogue: Hearing God [John Dawson, again]
“Self-Pity” = “Diet Joy”
There are many possible objectives for all of us
but specific inheritances and jurisdictions for each of us
God has the answers
We supply (find?) the questions
God is a God of completion
Inhabit Christ vs. merely Imitating Christ
