Love hearing from my very own Lead Pastor John Greenow. Here are the key thoughts from his message about embracing the future
- The future is always being talked about
- As believers we need to redeem the future
- Isaiah 43:11-13 ‘I have declared the future’
- Declare = to bring forward
- We need to align ourselves with what God is thinking/saying
- faith & future are connected
- We can reach in to the future and influence the future by the words that we speak
- Hebrews 11: Jacob blessed Joseph’s sons with Gods blessing, not his own. He spoke over them
- Worship, blessing, declaration, it’s a choice to bless God and others. By these things we reach into the future.
- Sometimes we want a way out while God wants to make a way through it. God is constructing and building a way for us while we sit.
- Claim our inheritance from the previous generation
- Psalm 16:5-6 – heritage/inheritance, he passing down of something from a previous generation. We all have a spiritual heritage
- The boundaries for me have fallen in pleasant places. Key to connected with the future v7 bless the Lord/kneel before Him/worship Him
- Colossians 1:5 – The lines of purpose never grow slack – kept tied & tight to your future by hope
