The Early Risers Conference (TERC): July 2010

Calling Things The Way They Should Be, Not the Way They Are:

Friday, July 30, 2010

God Did It First:

In Romans 4:9-18, we see that Abraham understood the characteristic of God as the One who "gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did." Therefore, he trusted in God and believed that what God said he would be (the father of all nations) would surely come to pass.

It is God's nature to look upon a non-existent thing and bring it into existence. That's what He does as a creator and as the ultimate architect. As children of God, we are to embody this principle. In Genesis 1:1-4, we find that God looked upon a desolate earth and still said "let there be light."

When God Speaks

Proverbs 8:34 : "Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and receives favour from the Lord."

(Genesis 3:8) :And they heard the voice of the lord God walking in the garden in the cool of teh day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the lord God amongst the trees and the garden.

(Genesis 17:1) God appeared to Abraham at 99 years of age, telling him to walk upright before him..

John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me"

How God Speaks

Holding Back

Friday, July 16, 2010

Some of us have things in our lives that we still hold on tightly to which stunt our growth in Christ. It could be doubt, anxiety, self-pity or secret sins. It is something that you find yourself repeatedly doing in moments of weakness and especially when you are alone, by yourself.

Mind Your Mouth

Friday, July 9, 2010

Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.
(Psalm 141:3)

The Bible talks a lot about our lips, our speech, and the power of words. Did you know the word "lips" is referred to over 100 times in the Bible? ("Tongue" over 100 times, "words" over 500 times, and "mouth" over 400 times.)

Words can uplift (Prov. 16:24) and destroy (Prov. 15:4). Words can trigger anger or defuse it (Prov. 15:1). God detests lying words (Prov. 6:16-17, Ps. 12:2-4) but seeks those who speak the truth (Ps. 15:2).

Luke 10:2

"2And He said to them, The harvest indeed is abundant [[a]there is much ripe grain], but the farmhands are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

As we learn through scripture, prayer is our method to commune with God. As believers we must establish and maintain a consistent prayer life to build our relationship with God. During prayer, it is our opportunity to share any and everything, make any request, settle any concerns, ultimately lifting all our burdens to him. But this is also an opportunity for us to listen, wait to hear from Him, receive guidance and instructions to steady our walk with Him. Thus, the purpose of prayer can be narrowed down to three basic actions.

3 Actions of Prayer are to:
1. Communicate with God
2. Listen to God
3. Change things in our lives
