Reference Scriptures: Matthew 25: 35

IT’S A SEASON THING NOT A CHURCH THING
IT’S A KINGDOM THING NOT A CHURCH THING

     Prayer works because it changes the plans of the enemy!
     You can absolutely be in the church but not in the kingdom of GOD!
     It’s a Growth Season, sinners are about to be saved.
     How do we access church? We  go after souls...we should never just be satisfied with the appetizer but the main meal. Souls coming in and out of church is not the goal, but souls being saved, sanctified and filled with the holy ghost.
     Its time to grow and go to the next level! We are not a club but a soul saving station.
     The question is Do we qualify to be a church?
     Are we reaching out to people that are in need of JESUS?
     It’s Not the worship, but the outcome of the church, not the income.
     Worship is not the problem, its WORK-SHIP that is the concern. 
         As ministry is built, we need to pay attention to Matthew 25:35-37

     We have  A greater work to do in regard to soul winning
God’s kingdom is orderly and the church should flow orderly as well.

IT’S TIME TO GROW…..

     We should not be talking about church growth if the people in the congregation are not growing.
     It’s about External and Internal growth...we need to take authority over our own personal growth. We are not a dead church, we are a growing church, we are a praying church!

     It’s time we directly deal and examine who we are within not without….God is always looking within you, not at others. You must take the thing (whatever that is) out your own eye first and then you will be able to assist others!

     There are Basic Principles that must be established before you can grow, it’s called CONSISTENCY  Luke 6:46

     We must get Consistent about our Work-Ship

     Why call me Lord, Lord and do not the things GOD commands?
     Why lift me on high and disobey the very principles of God?

      We must be reset, in the spirit realm, so God can be pleased with us.

     Stop calling me Lord If you are not going to do the things that God has asked. Walk in the word and revival will begin. Don’t call me Lord unless I am Lord of your life.
     Personal and Individual growth….the total is the sum of its parts...don't expect total growth unless all the parts are growing.

     We Must take a hard look at ourselves...what is it that I must do to be the best person I can be for GOD!
     First Key is prayer….why call me Lord, Lord and you don’t even pray…..prayer becomes the consistent behavior of people who recognize that Jesus is Lord.
     We must be on one accord in prayer, because it is in prayer that GOD gives us the opportunity to talk to him. There is a window of time to speak with God. Often times we stand God up, that's why we have not seen blessings and miracles.

     Old Church experienced many more miracles because they prayed and fasted often or consistently!!!!!

     The spirit of GOD calls revival, the power of God drives revival, not human beings.
      In order to get closer to God, we have to get in the prayer closet

HOW CAN GOD GIVE YOU A PASSION FOR SOULS AND YOU DON'T HAVE PASSION FOR GOD. PRAYER IS THE KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     Can we just sit awhile in prayer to hear what God says. Prayer is not a Wish list but a Will list.  Prayer is not asking for what I wish God will do, but what I will God to do, because thy kingdom come, thy will be done! Thy will be done Thy will be done Lord…..we have placed our wants in front of God and not his Will…

     Don't want part of his glory, but the whole glory of God! Like never before we must come together in prayer (personally and then corporately)
     How do we expect something from God that we don’t qualify for? Its something when you know your approved by God
     God’s will be done in______________________life. You defer the problem, when you don’t come with a worshipful attitude….
     We are so distracted that we become less dominant in the world, when we should actually become more dominant.
     Until we return to a consistent prayer life, the will of God will become more exposed and lubricated.

Prayer is the gateway to the will of God and is fundamental to our development.

Mark 9: 17
The type of illness is not important in the scripture
the issue is that something happened within the community that the church could not handle. they walked with Jesus but did not put themselves in a place where they KNEW JESUS….
The disciples could not fix the problem, so they found Jesus, and he healed the problem!

What is the church doing? How can you be in a position that you are not qualified for?
We have apostles, preachers, pastors galore, why are we not able to fulfill the purpose of the church.
The Fundamental issues is that  the church is trying to imitate the world; the church  lacks standards.
When you pull out a  bible in the natural, the devil runs in the spirit! Can you imagine what happens when you pray?
God is not going to turn it around, until we turn our plates down and pray! We have to pray!

John 14:12
Greater works shall you do because Jesus goes unto his father.
The agreement is that we cant do anything without God.
You can't do greater things by yourself.

Mark 9:21, 29
And he said unto them, this kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

The disciples could not heal people because they were not on the right  level. Prayer is the key and prayer must be done in agreement! The enemy gets everyone to be disconnected because disunity destroys agreement. God wants unity. Faithfulness is the key.
