Lecture Notes Week 6

Know your designer- live your design- soar into your destiny

God has a plan for us and we are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image. His calling over your life is already present. Meaningless work will rob you, not overwork. The design of God has been here all along. Don't close your eyes to your potential. You will be tested.

The safest place to be is in the will of God. worry is control: rest in Him and obey.

Can we dream with God? YES

First, we need to understand the Lordship- surrender all and serve Him!

God invites His children to dream big WITH Him. delight in the Lord and pay attention to what is being put on your heart. Dream Big for HIS Kingdom. We are called to take dominion, learn the culture- learn the language- and make a change in the nations.

Don't, underestimate the seeds Yahweh planted in you. Refine your character and push your calling farther. What has God created you to do? You do not need permission to put it into action!

What is Lordship?

Jesus is Lord because he is undeniably trustworthy. When God speaks to you, He gives you grace to go the way! I want to be born again, out of religion and into relationship! How will we change the nations if I can't lay down my day-to-day? If Jesus is not lord, something else is. Be confronted by your flesh. Stay obedient to the little, and see others through the lens of their creator. Lean into his strength and don't lead by your own strength. Lordship is difficult because we don't want to pick up our cross, submission is not passive.

"These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught. (Isaiah 29:13)

Do not turn and retreat; stand firmly on his word and put on his armor. When you relinquish, He will restore. Let the lord be the lord of your life.

I know for myself I definitely struggle with this. I would always feel like I needed to know why, have control, be in the right, have authority over my finances, and I felt like I had a right to be understood. But I felt called into laying down my presumptions of what I thought was the best way. I need to yield to Him and trust His character and nature. To yield to him even when I don't see why.

Worship YAWEH in spirit and in truth. Build your history with God through scripture. Be concerned for the foundation, you carry in your temple. You can not walk in your ministry if you do not first submit to the Lord. Hear and obey- the word of the Lord is my credential. You can not have resurrection without first the passing. Live for the moments that stretch you in Jesus.

Pray hard prayers - Psalm 139!

Be a disciple first and build the kingdom of God by partnering into true discipleship and creating WITH the creator. You can be a missionary and not a disciple but you can not be a disciple and not a missionary. The mission is to create disciples.
