Church Notes from 01-14-24		The Lord Through Pastor Michael

2 Cor. 9:6-7 God wants a happy giver not a sad giver.
Choose to rejoice as you give.

What we must do biblicaly to grow and increase personaly as a church and as Christ Body.

1 Pe. 2:1-2
Job 8:7 
This week we learn how to increase and grow in the areas the Lord wants to grow us in for his Glory.

To grow in the Lord:
1. Desire the sincere milk the Word of God, the Holy Scriptures the Bible.
2. Be in our mind as new born babes. We must see ourselves as spiritual babies desiring the milk from our Father, the Word of God.
3. Newborn means, 1st Born or just born, a new convert. (have the mindset we did when we 1st got saved. The Bible is the only thing that can keep me alive.) 
   - We need it day by day minute by minute to stay alive.
4. Look to the Father every minute to get new Milk or Word from the Bible. His word will keep us alive in Jesus Christ. 
   - Never think you are too old or know too much to stop reading the Bible. 
5. We learn to desire the Lord as a new born desires milk from the mother. Desire means to yearn for, to dote upon, or intensly crave.
   - We need to intensely yearn for the Milk of God's Word. 
   
The devil might be saying to some of you, that which is discorageing or telling you that you dont desire the milk or word.
Ro. 10:1 
	Ask the LORD to help you desire the Milk of his Word, and you will desire and grow thereby.
	Ps. 27:4
		Narrow your Focus to the desire of the word of God. Set your mind on the Word or God. Don't let anything or anyone distract you
		in seeking the Word of God.

Mark 11:24 Pray and believe & receive that you have the sincere milk of the Word of God. Confess it that you desire the word of God and you will.
Ps. 119:162 Rejoice in the Word of God.
Ps. 96:4 
Ps. 119:148
Meditate on the Word. #2
Ps. 119:42 We are to Trust in the LORDS word. Just trust and do the Word of God and everything will be OK.
Ro. 10:17 Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
Hear the Word as much as you can, it will help you to grow.

Give attendance unto reading. Read the word of God as much as you can.
Pastor when he was young, had a pocket bible with him everywhere, and on a walk man(mp3 player) and had the Word playing all the time in his appartment.

James 1:21-22 With meekness we are to receive the word of God which can save our souls, and DO the word also not to deceive ourselves.
1. RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD, AND
2. DO THE WORD OF GOD (to be not deceived)

Luke 10:38-42
Mary and Martha
Mary sat at Jesus feet and heard his word. 
Martha did not, she did her own things and did not make time for Jesus or Gods Word.

Jude 19-25

2nd Step for Growing in Christ is: Praying in the Holy Ghost. Jude 20
	Build up yourselves on Holy Faith, will make you strong or Grow in Christ.
	
When we pray in the Holy Ghost, another word for it is Praying in other Tounges, as the spirit of God gives us utterance.

1 Cor. 14:4 Praying in a Godly tongue builds our Faith because it requires Faith to pray in that tongue. You are building your
spiritual muscles and becoming a spiritual Sampson by trusting in the LORD and praying in a unknown tongue. 
The devil will lie, because he hates it when people pray in tongues for the LORD.
Pr. 12:18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is heath.
	So the unknown tongues of God are health, and wise to pray in.

1 Jn. 2: I wish that you be in health and prosper even as your soul prospers.

God prays for us as we don't know what needs to be prayed for, he knows how to pray for it too.
The Holy Ghost will pray for us in means we don't know, as we pray in tongues.

Pastor had a sickness or infirmity in his early years. He said devil your a liar, and he sat there and prayed in tongues, 
around 2 hours later he felt two hands lift off of his neck and there was an Evil spirit that was binding him was lifted off of him.

Prov. 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath but grievous words stirs up anger.
Prov. 15:2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
	Praying in tongues will help you rightly divide the scriptures and know what words to say or not to say.
	
Sometimes it is best to stay silent and say nothing at all, and the Spirit of God takes care of everything.
Silence is wisdom. 
When you pray in tongues enough Gods mind can be in place of yours and you will know what to do all the time.
Paul prayed in tongues constantly so he knew how to conduct himself and he had the Wisdom of God.
Let God manifest his mind and power in place of yours in Jesus name. 
Ps. 92:12-15

1. DESIRE THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD OF GOD AND GROW THEREBY
2. ASK THE LORD TO FILL YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST WITH EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN UNKNOWN TONGUES AND GROW THAT WAY
3. BE PLANTED IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD (PS. 92:12-15) 

Mark 3:31-35
God is our father not Satan any longer. When we get saved.
Isa. 53:3 he was a man of sarrows and aquainted in grief. His own family did not understand him. As you continue to put Christ 1st your family will follow aswell.

It's the precense of God upon your life that's convicting them to change.

Why must we be planted in the house of the Lord, away from everything thats not of the LORD?
Ps. 93:5 
Forsake every family that is not serving the LORD Bibically, because the LORD and his house and Kingdom are HOLY. 
Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men and holiness whithout which no man will see the LORD.
Ps. 66:12-13
The LORDs house is the only place where we can pay our vows.
Wealth gained by ill gains will not last (Proverbs)
Ps. 65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causet to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the 
goodness of  thy house, even of they holy temple.

When we dwell in the LORDs house we will be SATISFIED with his house, no longer the devils houses. 

Luke 4:16 on the sabath day the Lord went into the synogue on the sabath day, so we must be in the church whenever the doors are open, as it was Christ's custom.

1. Desire the milk of the word to grow thereby.
2. We must Pray in the Holy Ghost, pray without ceasing (it will pay eternal benefits in your life).
3. Be planted in the house of the LORD. Be there every second as possible and your life will transform as your there with his people.
