Full “Send” Ahead - God Cares for You

Be Sent by Going Full Send ahead - God Cares About You

What Does it Mean to be Sent? I’ll give you 5 Examples to Start with

1. All People called by the name of Jesus, are being sent.
2. We are all Ministers 
3. We are all Called - if you know that Jesus is Lord
4. If you have a Deep Love for God and a Desire to Serve him
5. Identify which part of the Body of Christ each of us has in the Church 

In Ephesians 4:11 it says “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers.”

Meaning God Gave some People the Gift of being an Apostle, some People the Gift of being a Prophet, the Gift of being an Evangelist, the Gift of being a Pastor, the Gift of being a Teacher. Used to Equip Believers for the Work of Ministry so that the Body of Christ can be Built up. Leadership within the Church is a Gift from Christ, not a Position of Authority. 

Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive Power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the Ends of the Earth. 

Meaning the Mission and Purpose of the Church. Promising the Powers from the Holy Spirit as we become witnesses for Jesus. God gave his Spirit, To advance his Kingdom through us.

 

Meat and Potatoes time - What are the 7 Powers of the Holy Spirit?

2. Sending of the Church into the World
3. Understanding that came to People Speaking Languages from all the Nations
4. Unifying of People for a Common Purpose

We don’t Show up on Sunday’s to watch someone Preach every Sunday, or come for some Goood Ole Coffee. - God Gave Gifts to the Church 

Apostle - Equipping Saints 

We are all Ministers - Called by the Lord in the Name of Jesus 

Staying on a Coffee Subject 

Sunday a Good Friend of Mine, happen to have told me about a Good Ole Coffee Filter.

Starting with Sharing the Gospel, 

Start with a Filter 

Add some Coffee and then Hot Water 

We don’t like having Coffee Grounds in our Coffee that’s Gross

We need to Filter things we See, Hear, Hear, and Put in Our Minds

Sometimes we Hear something Mean, doesn’t mean that we should say it

We Protect Ourselves with Our Bibles (Psalm 119) (Longest Chapter in the Bible)  

States the Importance of Obeying and Meditating on God’s Law, Precepts, and Testimonies. A Heartfelt Expression of Love and Devotion to God’s Word. 

Instead of Praying for Revival - we need to Start Praying for Workers that will get through the Heads ; whom are called by the Spirit of the Lord ; Whom are Called to Live on Purpose.

1. Where we can Pick up our Cross and Walk Daily 
2. Jesus Never Fails, Never Gives Up, Never Forsakes you 

1. Pray for Labors in Christ & be One
2. Be Sent and Called to Pray for More
3. Uniquely Gifted to Impact

We need to be like Paul and Silas - They Traveled to Spread the Good News, and when the Holy Spirit said no, they Listened until they were Given Further Instructions. They found Women Praying - Praying to the Lord of the HARVEST Faithful into the Field, that the Lord Produces the Harvest. 

Paul and Silas - were Faithful to Minster 

They Redirected their Uncomfy Agenda, to Drop it Like its Hot

Following the Leading of the Lord

We need to Start Living like we’re Sent: Calling to Impact the City, Homes, Vision in the Middle of the Night, To Drop it like it’s Hot. - No Perfect Plan or Clarity

Take a Step - Get out of the Old - Reckless - But God has Called you to Greatness!

| God Cares | Glorify Bible Study 

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 “(18) Flee from S***al Immorality, All other Sins a Person commits are outside the Body, but whoever Sins Sexually, Sins against their own Body.(19) Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; (20) You were bought at a Price. Therefore honor God with your Bodies. 

In a Culture that Often Devalued the Body, Paul Reminds believers that their bodies are sacred, temples of the Holy Spirit. His Message re-defines how we see ourselves: not as Disposable, but as belonging wholly to God.

Paul Reminds us that Our Bodies are not mere flesh but “Temples of the Holy Spirit” (Verse 19) the Place where God himself Dwells. In Contrast to Our culture leaning towards objectifying the body and obsessing over outward appearance, he offers an Integrated, Empowering Vision of the Human Person, one where Our Bodies, whatever they Look like, are Valuable and Sacred… and must therefore be Treated with Care. Our Bodies are not Machines or Means to an End; They're Creative Brilliance, Designed to make the Invisible God visible through Our Lives. 

Honoring Our Bodies, then, isn’t about Chasing Perfection or Meeting Worldly Ideals. It’s about Honoring the One who made us. When we care for Our Bodies as God Does, we tell the World and Ourselves that Our Lives matter, and that Our Creator Values every Part of us. 

This Truth Transforms Even Our Most Ordinary Routines. Whether washing Dishes or Changing Diapers, every “Mundane” Physical task becomes an Opportunity to Worship. When we do them with a Purpose and Care. we echo Jesus; sacred words: “ This is my Body given to you” (Luke 22:19) Our Bodies, in their Simple, Everyday Use, become echoes of Christ’s Sacrifice. This is why Paul says our Greatest Spiritual Worship is to “Offer our Bodies as Living Sacrifices” (Romans 12:1) 

Ask Yourself Today: How can I Honor God with My Body? What Small acts of Care can I carry out to Reflect His Love? It could be as Simple and as sacred as Drinking enough water or Getting enough Sleep. 

Now Let’s take a Dive into this Awesome Book

“ The Fullness of God - By Andrew Wommack”

(Page 62-70)

“Every Person in the Bible who ever did anything Glorified God. They put more Value and Worth on what He said and His Plan for their Life. They Simply Loved God More than they Loved themselves. That’s the Key. 

You Need to get to the Place where you Value the Things of God more than you Value your Things. When the Lord is Worth more to you than even your own Life, then that Christian life becomes easy. 

Psalm 37:4 - Take Delight in the Lord and he will give you the Desires of your Heart

This doesn’t mean that he’ll just give you anything you want. It means that God will put His desires in your Heart. When you’re Delighting yourself in the Lord - when you’re valuing and esteeming Him more than anything else - you can do what you want to. Why? Because your want - tos will change. If the Lord wants to send you to the Deepest corner of Africa - and you’ve been Delighting yourself in Him - you won’t be happy anywhere else. You’ll love it! 

Psalm 69:30 - “I will Praise the Name of God with a Song, and will Magnify him with Thanksgiving.” 

In Order to Glorify God, you need to be Thankful. As you are thanking Him, you’re reminding yourself of what He has said and Done, which Magnifies Him. As you think of the Lord in this way, He becomes Bigger and More Powerful in your Life. In order to Truly and Magnify and Glorify God, you must be Thankful for what He’s done. 

Being Thankful Involves Memory and Humility. You can’t be Thankful without Remembering the Good things that have been done for you. God Commanded you NOT to Forget because He knows you will if you don’t make a decision to remember. That’s why the Lord instituted the Different Observances in the Bible like Communion, Passover, and Other Feasts..

 This was also why they made Memorial Markers and Piles of Stones. It was to Stir the People up through Memory. Your Memory is one of the Most Powerful Faculties you have. 

In Order to Maintain the things that God does in your Life, You’re going to have to be one Thankful Person. You Need to Constantly go back and Rehearse your Victories and the Encounters you’ve had with Him. 

Are you Glorifying, Remembering, and being Thankful for what God has Already done in your Life? Or are you just Driving Down the Street hoping that the Devil doesn’t put a temptation in your Path because you don’t know if you’ll make it? There’s something Powerful about going back, and rehearsing your Victories, and being Thankful.
