The Body of Christ Live!

Summary: People pray like beggars, thinking that they have to do something to earn God's provision. All of God's provision was already provided for us by His son through the cross. As our awareness grows of the residing Holy Spirit, Christ and the Father within us, our attitude of prayer changes from looking to a God apart from us, and realizing that He dwells within us. Our form of prayer begins to be a proclamation of what is already ours. As our Lord taught u s, we proclaim "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done!" Show Notes: * In the scriptures Christ travailed in prayer, there are prayers of appropriation; knock the door is open, you ask, and it is yours. * Prayer initiates with God making all things available to you. * It is not about praying to a God out there and begging or talking to a God up in heaven, but realizing He is within our hearts. * The Lord's prayer is a teaching of how to pray. thy Kingdom come; thy will be done. * Check your relationship with the Father, how deeply is your relationship with the Father? If you have a relationship with the father like Christ does, he said I only do the things I see the Father do. I only speak what my father speaks. References: Matthew 6: 9 -13 9 "Pray, then, in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

John 16: 13 13 But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

James 5: 16 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. A prayer of a righteous person, when it is brought about, can accomplish much. Quotes: * You look to the Lord; open your heart and you receive. that is a definition of prayer * It is the simple things of talking with God, finding out what His will is. * Finding out what God wants and when you speak that, It is going to happen. * We pray with persistence not because we do not have it. We pray with persistence because we are receiving what we ask for and want more. Take Away: " Our Father who art in Heaven", it is asking the Father that should be our first focus. Prayer; Father your will be d one in this situation! There are prayers of appropriation : Ask, and keep asking; Seek and keep seeking; Knock and keep knocking Are you sure what your praying for , God has spoken to you? Or are you wanting something amiss and asking for that?

He has given us all things, why do we pray or act like beggars? "Every promise in the Book is mine…." What are some actions that we can take to show how we believe what the scriptures say? Show Notes: We who believe, He has given us everything pertaining to life and Godliness. He has already provided everything to have a revelation and an awareness of that provision, change your attitude of the way you pray and approach the father. There are actions that we must do to appropriate the provision. How much do we miss because of our unawareness of the Lord and the provisions that are ours? The Holy Spirit will show us the things that we can do. The little things snow ball, a little here, a little there. We want to live by the promises in the scriptures; and the only honest way to do that is know what the scriptures give us as promises.

Are there disappointments with God or situations? Is there a legitimate cause for these disappointments? How do we end disappointments? How do we get faith? Show Notes: Let's talk about disappointments, and how we can help people get past disappointments by eliminating that deception that is creating them. Many times we are believing something or for something that god has not spoken. Faith comes by hearing and hearing from a Word from God. Faith is a gift; How do we receive this gift? When god speaks a Word that creates faith Faith never dies it is eternal as long as that faith is in your spirit and you are feeding it and caring for it and walking in it. Do not try to do something on a human level. Take the time to write it down, what you believe, go through each point and find out what Word from God gave me that Faith. It has to be an experience where God meets you in the Word. Then take action on that Word. References: Romans 10:17 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:4, 9 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, James 4:3 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. 1 Peter 2:24 24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.

James 2:17, 18 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. 18 But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."

Are we interpreting what the scripture says? Or are we getting Revelation? It is the Holy Spirit that reveals Jesus and all that the Father has given Him. Without hunger, there will be no reaching into to get a revelation. "Today if you Hear my voice….." Show notes: • Christianity as a whole has gotten away from trusting in the leading of the Holy Spirit as seen in the scriptures. • It is up to us to open up and receive that same word that is coming by the holy Spirit. • The breaking down of resistance, walls, is the beginning of opening up and hearing from the Holy Spirit. • I loose the Spirits of the people to come alive in a drive to want to know who the Father is, who Jesus is, Who the Holy Spirit is to teach us who they are. References: Romans 8:14 14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. John 14:26 26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. 2 Peter 1:21 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

Quotes: The Holy spirit speaks one word to everybody, it is available 24/7 Our prayer is Holy Spirit speak to them. You have to have a hunger in your heart for more of God. "Today if you hear my voice do not harden your heart" God wants to have an experience with you everyday. Take away There has to be a hunger and an openness to reach in and believe that the Holy Spirit can speak to us, to impart a revelation to us.

How do we see the Lord? Our depictions restrict how He can appear to us. He is so much more that we can imagine. Show Notes: • When Steven was stoned he said He saw the Son of God at the right hand of the Father. • Find a revelation of who Christ is, who the Father is, and not have a false image of who Christ as. • When people do not have a relationship with Him, they draw on history. • We also need to know who He really is. • God said no images. • Seek the Lord to know Him. • Who Christ is, is still unfolding before us. We are still learning what He did for us. • Christ and the father and the Holy Spirit are invisible to us and there is a reason for that. • If you have an image of God, then you lock him in to that depiction of how you see Him. • The liberty of not knowing what He looks like allows God to be to us what He wants to be. References: Acts 7:56 56 and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." Mark 16:19 19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 2 Corinthians 5:14 14 For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; 1 Peter 3:18 8 To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; Hebrews 7:25 25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Leviticus 26:1 1 ‘You shall not make for yourselves idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves an image or a sacred pillar, nor shall you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God. 1 Timothy 6:16 16 who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see.

John14:23 23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. Quotes: We need a relationship of Christ and who He really is. Those who have an image of the Lord on a cross or pictures of Jesus, it is a lack of revelation of where the Lord is. Take away: Find a revelation of who Christ is , Who the Father is and not a false image. No one knows what He looks like, We know He is a Jew. Having a crucifix, or a picture in your mind would tend to create a passivity toward knowing Him. If you have an image of God then you lock Him into that depiction of what you see Him as.

How do we relate to the Lord? What is a relationship with the Lord? God wants a relationship with us more than we want one with Him. Show Notes: • It is talking to Him, a relating to Him, communicating and sharing before the Lord. • The Lord may not answer right away. • You have to start and stay with it. • He will not be real to you if you cannot be real to God. • God wants to impart to you an honesty and integrity. • Ask and keep asking, knock and keep knocking, because He will intentionally act like He does not hear you. • Continue until He responds to you. • He wants a relationship also. • He wants us to be with Him.

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to his servant?" Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us or for our adversaries?" 1 Chronicles 29:13, 14 13 "Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name. 14 "But who am I and who are my people that we should be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given You. Matthew 7:21 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. John 14:23 23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. Quotes: It is the simple things, just open up, say Lord I'm talking to you. He wants you to talk to him as your Father, as your Friend. God, I really want this and I'm going to pester you till I get it. Relationships work together, you can't have a relationship with just one person. It is time for His creation to return to Him. He wants His people, His creation. We are talking about a relationship with the Lord, there is nothing more exciting. Take away: When you have a touch from the Lord , can you honestly say that there is nothing that compares to that touch.

Show Notes: • There is more than just accepting Jesus as your Savior. • The provisions of God are more than we can ask or think. • All you have to do is ask. • Do not let anyone complicate it . • If it is not simple, it is not of God. • Receiving one of those provisions is the Holy Spirit. • Read John chapters14,15,16,17.

Ephesians 4:14-16 14 As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; 15 but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. John 14:16, 26 16 "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
