Prov 3:5-6 NKJV Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh,

• Be willing AND obedient
  • Once you hear from God or feel that direction from Him, mix your faith with it and take action on it.
  • Remember: Faith ACTS!
    • James 2:18, 26 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
  • Isaiah 1:19 The willing and the obedient will eat the good of the land.
  • Phil 2:13
    • ESV: for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
    • NLT: For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
    • NIV: for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
  • Take it up a level: Do it will ALL your might–don’t just barely obey! Give it your best–give GOD your best
• Do not fear!
  • Sometimes we aren’t willing and/or obedient because we are afraid.
  • But the Bible tells us over and over again, DO NOT FEAR
  • Perfect love casts out fear.
    • John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
    • Hebrews 10:38-39 NIV And, “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.” But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
  • When we understand the heart of our Heavenly Father and we see Him as GOOD – only good! We know that His plans for us are good and if He has good plans for us (Jer 29:11) then we have no need to fear!
  • Take it up a level: Overcome a fear that has plagued your life.
• Trust God and Rejoice!
  • Hear, be willing and obedient, don’t fear, and trust God with the outcome!
  • Rejoice! Give thanks! Revel in the privilege of doing life with the Creator of the universe!

• Luke 18:1 Men should always pray and not lose heart
• Matthew 21:21-22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
• Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life. In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
• Matthew 7:7-11 Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a shish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven, give good things to those who ask Him!
• SUMMARY: PRAYER IS TALKING TO GOD. IT IS A PRIVILEGE. IT’S HOLY. IT’S EASY! TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING IS TO DO LIFE WITH GOD. PRAYER IS ASKING GOD FOR WHAT YOU NEED/DESIRE. WHEN YOU PRAY BELIEVE HE HEARS YOU. BELIEVE HE IS YOUR GOOD FATHER WHO ANSWERS YOU. LISTEN AND RECEIVE THE ANSWERS YOU NEED.
• Take it up a level: add fasting

• The word wait here is the Hebrew word Qavah. It is often translated: wait, hope, or look for. It means to entwine or bind together
• Key Meanings of Qavah
  • To Bind/Weave Together: Literally, it's the action of twisting strands into a strong cord, symbolizing a deep, unified connection with God.
  • To Expect/Look For: It carries a sense of eager anticipation and hopeful looking for God's intervention, not just passive waiting.
  • Active Waiting: It's not passive stillness but a vibrant, expectant posture, like a child straining to see a parent arrive.
  • To Be Intertwined/Joined: It suggests a close relationship, being bound or woven into God's life and purposes.
  • To Trust/Endure: This active waiting involves confidence and endurance in God's character and timing
  • Hope & Expectation: It embodies faith in motion, trusting God's faithfulness even when circumstances don't change, looking for His action.

Endurance: Waiting in qavah builds inner strength, renews the spirit, and prepares for breakthroughs

What word has God given you? (either for the year or otherwise)

• The purpose of the Word of God to us personally can be to
  • Inform
  • Instruct
  • Direct
  • Equip
  • Prepare
  • Encourage
  • Comfort
  • and more!
• When God gives you a word, initially you will receive the instruction or comfort it entails, and sometimes that is the whole purpose, but other times—and more often than not, that word is a tool or a weapon God has given you for what is to come.
• So when things happen (or sometimes it is that things AREN’T HAPPENING), you go back to that word, and you repeat it, rehearse it, and BELIEVE IT! You CONTEND WITH IT for the outcome God promised, and you desire!
• One of my favorite verses is in Acts 27:25 NLT So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as he said
• So what has God said to you? About your year or about your purpose and calling?
• Whatever He has spoken is what you should believe, not what you see or hear or feel…but what HE SAID!
• Ephesians 6:17 says: And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
• So we use the Word of God as our weapon–our sword, and we contend for it in our lives.

• Grace is what you need!
  • Acts 20:32 TPT “And so now, I entrust you into God’s hands and the message of his grace, which is all that you need to become strong. All of God’s blessings are imparted through the message of his grace, which he provides as the spiritual inheritance given to all of his holy ones.
  • Romans 5:17
    • NKJV - For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
    • AMPC - For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
  • 2 Corinthians 9:8 AMPC And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].
• What is grace?
  • Grace is God’s unmerited favor
  • Grace is God’s empowerment
    • 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT: Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
  • Grace is what makes the difference
• Zechariah 4:6-7 NKJV So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ”
