WEDNESDAY NIGHT’S IN THE AUDITORIUM WITH PASTOR AT 6:30
Igniting Kingdom Prayer with Dr. Tony Evans
Take any home appliance—a fridge, a lamp or a computer—and strip it of its access to electricity. Suddenly, all of these objects become significantly less capable of doing what they were designed to do. If you are a believer in Christ Jesus, you’ve been given a power called kingdom authority. But unless you’re plugged into the original source that is our heavenly Father, you’ll find yourself unable to utilize its benefits. In Igniting Kingdom Prayer, Dr. Tony Evans will discuss all there is to know on Kingdom Prayer: the link God has given us to tap into the power He has provided.
This week Touching Heaven to Change Earth (2 Chronicles 15:3-6): Many people find themselves attempting to mop up messes in their lives only to find that the source is an endless drain of trials that won’t stop. But instead of trying to clean up the problems in vain, Tony Evans says you first need to deal with the root. Once you discover the spiritual side of how the world works, you’ll find how your approach to challenges will start to change.
Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Hebrews 12:2, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
What do we see?
What is our vision?
What is our revelation?
Without vision, there is no proper incentive to apply the cross, and there is no real application of the cross in its full significance.
To experience the proper subjective application of the cross, we must be filled with heavenly vision.
To be a person with vision is to be a person under God’s economy.
It is to be one who lives according to the divine destiny over his whole being.
This destiny is that we would be completely conformed to the image of God’s Son.
Even our bodies will be conformed to the body of His glory.
Paul was under this vision of God’s economy.
We need the clear vision of God’s economy over our being to apply the cross.
I have to see that my being–my mind, emotion, will, and body–has only one destiny, which is to be saturated and filled with Christ Himself.
By this saturating and filling, God becomes my portion.
Because my being has only one destiny–conformity to the image of God’s Son–God is causing everything to work together to this end and goal (Rom. 8:28).
This is God’s economy.
So if I am a person who is clear about God’s economy, I will readily apply the cross inwardly to anything that challenges that economy, anything of this self that has a controversy with the Lord.
This includes the self in any relationship with any person.
This includes my private life, my daily living.
My stubbornness, my impulsiveness, my mind–anything in my being that opposes God–has to bow.
It has to be terminated, because I am under the vision that my being has a destiny to be conformed to the image of God’s Son.
My god is not my belly (Phil. 3:18-21).
My God is God Himself.
Until Tomorrow
