"Asking of God, the Process" By Brother Andy Giebler September 27th,
2015
Parrish: You know, some
weeks ago, God was speaking to Brother Andy and myself, and He didn’t tell
either one of us that He was speaking to the other one. And, he spoke to both of us at night. He woke me up—I’ll tell my side, and then
Brother Andy can tell his side, as he prepares to come—but He said, “You’re
just not asking for enough.” And the
Spirit was impressing how much God has for us which we leave on the table, or
in the cupboard, or on the shelf; just leave with God what He’s ready to give
unto us. And so, our theme for the
month, is, of course: John 5:17 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in
you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Andy: God is faithful to
prick our hearts, and show us things.
Sometimes it’s not what we want to hear, but… I’m going to go along with that story. I remember God waking me up. And this is all surrounding seeking God. It’s more than just a list on a piece of
paper, it’s more than just the fact that God woke me up. God woke me up for a reason. It hadn’t been the first time, and it won’t
be the last, but this one sticks out in my mind. Because, I remember, there have been times
I’ve woken up and gone back to sleep, and wished I’d gotten up the next day,
knowing I’d missed something. But this
was one of those that God wouldn’t let it go.
God said, “I got something for you, and I’m not letting you go back to
sleep.” It was a feeling of, “You don’t
want to go back to sleep.” Not of
fear—and, sometimes God instills fear; sometimes it’s a fear of judgment, but
this wasn’t one of those. It was, “I’ve
got something for you, and you’re going to miss something.” I got up, and I walked into the kitchen;
1:47, the time on the clock. And, God
impressed upon me, “There are things that I’ve put on your heart. You’ve heard them, but you haven’t done
anything with them.” That’s when God
told me, “Get out some paper, and start writing these things down.” Because I’m only flesh, and I’m going to
forget them. And, that is the beginning
for me on this. A Parrish shared his
experience, as we talked with Chris Ulrich and Jesse about this, ad getting
ready for this message, it’s turned into something a whole lot bigger than
just—we’ve got that piece of paper back there, and that’s a huge tool. That’s something we need, because this
ministry, you know, we’re not going to be in this room forever; we’re not going
to have this number of people. And, it’s
not about numbers; it’s about souls. I
drove by a church building that’s for sale, and I thought, “That’s huge!” You know?
But I know it’s not about me, it’s not about Parrish, it’s not about any
of us, it’s about what God means to do; it’s about what God wants to do for us,
and that’s where it comes to seeking Him. Parrish talked about the woman at
the well. He talked about perceptions,
and I probably won’t do his whole message justice, but, how Jesus put Himself
in that spot. The disciples saw one
thing; the woman saw another, and Jesus said, “Now, this is what I’ve
got.” Not, “This what your law says,”
“This is what your tradition says,” “This is what your interpretation of the
Law says,” “This is what, how you made your law to be says,” but, “This is what
I have for you.” Bow your heads for prayer with
me. God Almighty, I just ask right now
that You would bring all things to remembrance, that You would show me the
things that You would have me to speak.
Let me be out of the way. Let
Your word speak this morning, let Your Spirit have its will. God, let us receive, hear, and understand
what You have for each person here. In
Jesus’ name. Amen. I really enjoyed hearing Chris,
last week, also asking, “What do you pray for?
What did you get?” And those are
blessings. And, Chris, you shared yours
first. You prayed for good weather; God
didn’t give you that good weather.
Sometimes we don’t get what we ask for.
Jesse and Tina shared how her hand was healed. How we’d asked for—we prayed for her
hand. And she told Jesse, “Oh, it
doesn’t hurt anymore. Bob talked about
his thumb, and it happened—over thirty years ago? Bob: “1988.”
Doctors came in, and said, “We’re going to cut your thumb off.” God said, “No, you’re not.” They found his thumb was healthy and alive,
and they didn’t have to take it off, even when the doctors said, “It’s dead;
we’re going to take it off.” It’s
important that we not forget what we ask for.
Bob: “He wrote on the charts, ‘Miracle from
above!’” That’s awesome. So, it’s important that we remember these
things. That’s why we have these two
books in the back; one for our prayer requests, and one for our victories. It’s good to remember those. We can’t lose sight of that. So, we’re talking about asking
God. Asking; the process of learning to
ask God. So, what do I have to do to
hear from God? Going through life,
sometimes it’s like, “Well, what do I need to do?” Or, “What do I have to do? I pray, and sometimes don’t I feel like God
hears me.” We ask the question, “Does
God hear my prayer? Does he even hear
me? Does He want me to ask this? How do I know if God heard?” And, I submit, it’s about faith; it’s about
our faith in God. I’m going to go
through some Scriptures, and we’re going to talk about some things that involve
our faith, and some things that God looks at.
What does God hear? What
properties of a person, of a human, of what we do, does God look for to hear
us? ##7:07## Parrish brought up the woman at
the well. It’s kind of interesting; the
woman at the well, Jesus put Himself there, in her way. She came up to Jesus; she had no idea why
this man is sitting on the well. No idea
whatsoever. All she knew was, she came
to get water, and Jesus is there in her way.
And Jesus is talking about something that she’s never heard of
before. And, sometimes, in our lives, we
wonder, you know, we go through life, and God shows us things. God puts Himself in our way. God puts Himself in a place where we hear
Him. God shows us things, even when
we’re not seeking. The woman wasn’t
going to the well to seek Jesus; she was not looking for living water. That’s what Jesus had for her, but that’s not
what she went there for. She went to get
physical water out of the well to meet a physical need. Sometimes that’s what we’re about; we’re
about finding out our physical needs, going out to meet—we’re going to work,
we’re going to the grocery store, we’re working out, we’ve got to exercise,
we’ve got to sit down and eat; all the things that we have to do in our lives
that re important to our flesh. And, as
we’re about those things, sometimes, God puts Himself in the way. Sometimes, we have to get through
our perceptions of what God’s presenting us with, sometimes. Sometimes we have to get through, just as she
did, “Well, I’ve been taught that this is where we worship. We’ve been taught this way. This is what our fathers taught us.” But Jesus said something totally
different. The Father seeks those who
worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. So,
that’s a big piece on God giving us things.
Sometimes God puts things in our path that we’re not looking for. Sometimes we’re looking, but we don’t
necessarily know what we’re looking for.
Sometimes we’re seeking God, and, when we go to pray—have you ever gone,
and you kneel down, and you say, “God, I don’t even know what to pray about; I
don’t even know what to ask for?” John 3:1-7 There was a man of the Pharisees, named
Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto
him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do
these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be
born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and
be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of
water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again. Sometimes we wonder, “Does God
even hear me?” Because, sometimes Satan
wants to throw that at us, and there’s a little Scripture in Isaiah, and it
says: Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened,
that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear: I
had to kind of argue with God about this second verse, because I didn’t want to
put it in here, but God impressed upon me, “Read that one, too.” Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between
you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not
hear. I want to read from Matthew
6. If you have your Bibles, you can turn
to it. We’re familiar with it; it’s the
Lord’s Prayer. We get several things
that we take out of this whole chapter.
We get a chunk n the beginning that talks about do not your alms before
men (Matthew 6:1-4). And, in the second
part, it talks about when you pray, don’t be as the hypocrites, that love to
stand and pray in the synagogues (Matthew 6:5-6), and we break these out in
separate pieces sometimes, and fail to realize those are part of one long
passage, where Jesus warns us, as far as taking our alms, doing our offerings,
doing things before God, doing the things that we do before God to help others,
to give to others. Do I make a show of
myself when I help somebody out, whether it’s to take somebody to dinner, or
buy someone some food, do I help someone, do I put money in the box; whatever
it is, am I making a show of it, or am I just doing it just because that’s what
God wants me to do? I know we’re talking
about hearing from God, and listening and praying, but that’s all part of this
passage. The next chunk says: Matthew 6:5-6 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the
streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their
reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast
shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which
seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:9 After this manner
therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. And
the next verse says: But it says: Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our
daily bread. What does God like? What does God see in us? We know what we see in people sometimes. Sometimes we have to look around and see
things in people in a different light sometimes. We have to stop and look at people and take
the time to get to know them. What does
God see in us? Isaiah 66:1-2 Thus saith the
LORD, The Heaven is my throne, and the earth is My footstool: where is the
house that ye build unto Me? and where is the place of My rest? For all those things hath Mine hand made, and
all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even
to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word. Sometimes to hear from God takes a
surrender. I don’t like to hear that
sometimes, because I don’t like to surrender.
I have pieces of me that I like; I have ways that I do things that I
think are right, and, you know, I don’t want to surrender them. But, I have to surrender to God. Moving to Matthew chapter 5. We call these the Beatitudes. I just want to highlight these, because these
are things that Jesus is speaking and teaching, and He says, “Blessed
are…” Matthew 5:3-11 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for
they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the
earth. Blessed are they which do hunger
and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall
obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed
are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and
persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my
sake. Let’s turn to James chapter
one. Sometimes we’re asking for wisdom,
and this is a Scripture that’s talking specifically about asking for wisdom,
and how to get that wisdom: James 1:5-7 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of
God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be
given him. But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with
the wind and tossed. For let not that
man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his
ways. Once again, god wants us to be
single-minded. He wants our faith to be
in Him. If I’ve got one foot in the
world, that’s not faith. Because, if I’m
seeking God for something—and this is a mistake we make sometimes as human
beings—go out and get things on our own.
If I’m out in the world, trying to get the things that I think I need,
and asking God for it at the same time, where’s my faith in God? I’ve got one foot in and one foot out; I’m
double-minded. And that Scripture’s
pretty plain, it says, “Let not that man think that he hall receive anything of
the Lord. A double-minded man is
unstable in all his ways. And that’s
something we’ve got to look at day-to-day.
I’m not putting it on any person, “You’re that! You’re this!”
Nah. For me, that’s a daily
thing. Keeping my focus where it needs
to be, because, I have a job; I’m out and about, doing things, and God created
us as pretty amazing human beings. He
gave us these bodies, these minds that have a lot of capability. We can get a lot of things done. I can do a
lot of things on my own; yeah, God gave me that ability, but, just because god
gave me the ability, doesn’t mean he wants me to. I’m getting ahead of myself here. Talking about faith. We look at several places where God healed
people. And, these are just for
reference, so that you can look them up:
In Luke 7, The woman who anointed the feet of Jesus, Jesus said, “Thy faith hath saved thee.” (Luke 7:3-50) The woman with the issue of blood. She pressed through the crowd. She said to herself, “If I can only touch the
hem of His garment.” And at what point
in that story did she get healed? When
she touched the hem of His garment. It
wasn’t hen Jesus turned around and spoke to her, it wasn’t the point when Jesus
did anything; it was her faith. And
Jesus turned around in the middle of this crowd and said, “Who touched me?” And the disciples, I’m sure, had to
look at Him like He was crazy, but the woman said, “It was I.” And Jesus said unto her, “Thy faith hath made thee whole.” (Luke 8:43-48) In Luke 18, another reference, a man asked
for his sight. Jesus said, “Thy faith hath saved thee.” (Luke 18:35-43) And I’m going to read this one in Mark chapter
nine: Mark 9:17-24 And one of the multitude answered and said,
Master, I have brought unto Thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; And
wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with
his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast
him out; and they could not. He
answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how
long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto Me. And they brought him unto Him: and when he saw
Him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed
foaming. And He asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire,
and into the waters, to destroy him: but if Thou canst do any thing, have
compassion on us, and help us. Jesus
said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible
to him that believeth. And
straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I
believe; help Thou mine unbelief. Let’s
take this from the back side: When the father said, “I believe, help thou mine
unbelief.” Sometimes God wants to do
things, and it’s up to our belief. Let
me roll it back to the disciples.
Because the disciples came to Him and said, “What gives? Why couldn’t we do this, God?” He said, “Howbeit, this kind cometh not out
but by prayer and fasting.” Sometime
there’s prayer and fasting. We want to
get things done, sometimes, there are things that we need to ask for. And we’ve heard the question asked, “Why’d
you quit?” Sometimes it’s, we don’t get
the answer right away. The disciples
didn’t get it right away; they didn’t get it at all. They weren’t prepared; they weren’t ready to
receive what God had in that moment.
They weren’t ready for that healing.
Jesus said, “This kind comes out by prayer and fasting.” That, sometimes, is a big piece of why we
don’t get things. Sometimes God wants to
show us things, and fasting is a big piece of that. Sometimes we have to submit ourselves in the
fast, putting aside our flesh, putting aside the things that our bodies think
they need, and presenting ourselves to God, in that time, to get the answer God
has for us. Sometimes I think we’ll be
amazed. Sometimes, when I’ve taken that
time, and whatever else I’ve needed to do, or I’ve taken that time, then God
shows me more than I could have ever asked for.
Prayer and fasting. I
said I was getting ahead of myself. We
talked about sometimes we have things that I want to go get. I think it’s mine to get it, I should get it,
I’ve got every right to get it, I don’t even bother, “God, I’ve got this.” And it seems right. Maybe sometimes I don’t think about it. Sometimes it’s just like, “Okay, I’m going to
go do this.” And sometimes I forget
things that I’ve been told. I’d like to
look at an example in Exodus sixteen.
Moses. God, through Moses, showed
them, “Okay, I’m going to give you manna.”
They complained that they didn’t have anything to eat, the Children of
Israel, and God gave them manna. God
told Moses, “Tell the people, take what you need for today, no more. That’s what they were told to do. Before the Sabbath, you can gather enough for
the next day. So, what did the people
do? “Get a little extra, here, I want
some…” You know. Maybe, “I don’t trust You. I’ll get extra.” And it didn’t exactly what was going to
happen: It rotted, got worms, it
stank. It was worthless. They had kept something that God had said not
to do; they did something that God said not to do, and it rotted. It was eaten by worms. Sometimes we may not see things that
dramatic, but, I know sometimes we do things that God had said, “Don‘t do
that.” A little Spirit over here, “Don’t
do that.” Sometimes God will tell us in
our sleep, in a dream, prick in our heart, “Don’t do that,” and we do it
anyway. And then we wonder why we’re in
the mess we’re in. Then we fall into another
trap sometimes. When I say this, I’m
going to be careful, because I believe that Satan fights against us. There’s no doubt in my mind. But, sometimes, when we go and do things we
shouldn’t do, “Aw, man, the devil’s fighting me on that one.” No! Well, he did fight you on it, but you lost the
battle long before the piece of manna rotted.
You lost the battle when you went and got it and stuck it in your tent
and kept overnight. You lot it when God
said, “Don’t go buy that; you don’t need that right now. Let me bless you.” When God says, “Maybe your attitude’s not
right. Don’t talk to that person right
now.” Or he says, “Go talk to that
person.” When we don’t do what we’re
supposed to do, or do what we’re not supposed to… When we go in to, you know, dive into the
situation and it just blows up, and we wonder what happened. God is faithful to take care of us, but
sometimes we’ve got to listen. I
know this isn’t all exciting and happy right now, but, his is part of the
process of asking God. This is part of
the process of receiving things from God.
I know who I’m talking to in this crowd.
I know a lot of you are warriors that I’ve worked with for a long time,
and I’m proud to be here. But, I know,
sometimes, we need to be reminded. I
need to be reminded. I was studying for
this, this is something I wished I’d studied on more before I started doing
this for a sermon, because God showed me so much. You know, and this is one of the things that
I need to do, and we’ve got a long way to go as a ministry. God wants to do things; God wants to bless
us. So,
am I satisfied with what God gave me?
I’m not going to read all of it, but it’s a story out of Second
Samuel. King David, he finds himself out
on the roof. He finds himself looking
down; a woman taking a bath. Okay, he
probably knew that was what he was going to find when he went up there. But then he made a bigger mistake; he sent
for her. And, he sleeps with her, and
she’s pregnant. He’s got to do something
about it. He’s already made a mess. So, her husband’s out in battle, he (David)
calls to have him (Uriah) come in, hoping that they can be together, and she
can claim the child is his, and they can move on. That doesn’t happen. The man is so faithful, he won’t even go into
the house with his wife. He sleep on the
doorstep. He’s faithful to what he’s
supposed to be doing, because he knows he’s not in battle where he
belongs. So David makes another
choice. He sends him (Uriah) back into
battle in a place where he (David) knows he’s (Uriah’s) going to be
killed. So, he’s already messed all that
up, and now the prophet, Nathan, comes to him.
He tells him a story. He tells
him about a rich man who’s got lots of flocks, and one poor man who has one
lamb. And the rich man has someone come
into town, and the rich man takes the poor man’s one lamb, instead of out of
the abundance of his flock, and takes it to feed this visitor from out of
town. And, as the prophet tells this
story to David, David says, “That man should die.” Paraphrasing here, a little bit. But he’s mad; he’s upset. This isn’t right, this shouldn’t happen. I’m going to read from the Scripture word-for-word: 2 Samuel 12:7-9 And
Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I
anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and
gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I
would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. Wherefore hast thou
despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed
Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and
hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. James 4:1-4 From whence come wars and
fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your
members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill,
and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because
ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not,
because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not
that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?... Now it’s interesting that
all those things are kind of sandwiched in together. We’re taking about fightings and wars, and
lusting to have, and receiving not because you ask not, and then he goes into
adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that friendship of the world is enmity
with God? We like to pull out that one
little piece that says you have not because you ask not, but that’s all
together. I know that sounds like a harsh
judgment in the beginning of that Scripture, but, at the end of that is
something to take joy in. “The spirit
that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But
He giveth more grace. Wherefore He
saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” That’s the key, right there. And, in verse seven: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” And, as I’m wrapping up; we’re
going to have communion. I want to read
one final passage, back in Matthew six.
God is faithful. I could make
this sound like a downer, but I’m excited, because God’s faithful to give us
what we need. I want to share that, I
don’t think I’m anybody, I don’t want to tout myself above anyone else, but, I
have to share some things that God blessed me with. I’ll start just from when I was in high
school. I knew that God put me on a path
to be able to join the military. I
joined the military; I served ten years, and I ended up right in the very
beginning of my military journey, I was able to find this ministry, and, even
more than that, found God’s truth.
Because I had sought God. I knew
I needed to be closer to God; I knew I needed something, and I found it. God put me where I needed to be right after
that. I mean, within two months of
leaving home, I found another home.
Another home where I found the Truth preached. A home where I found people that wanted to
encourage me, people that wanted to lift me up, people that weren’t going to
cut me any slack. I found a ministry
church home. I served ten years on
active duty. I prayed for a wife, and,
you know what? I asked for some very
specific things in a wife and God gave me every single one of them. And, in jobs, I came off of active duty,
actually, I was still on active duty, I was looking for a job, and I made a
phone call. Up in the schoolhouse where
I was teaching, I had put in my resume, I get a phone call, and I practically
got hired over the phone, without even having an interview. I left, over a three day week-end after my
ten years active duty, and walked in the door—I walked out in a uniform, and
walked back in in a suit and tie, teaching for San Diego City College. I don’t have a degree. I don’t have anything but the military
experience, and I was hired that quick.
God blessed me. I don’t ever want
to put myself over anyone who’s had job problems, but I have to give glory to
what God gave me. And I reaped
that. I stayed in the reserves, and I
wound up getting recalled; I wound up in Spain for a year. I’d been married just a little over a year
when I had to sit down next to my wife and say, “I’m leaving for a year.” But, as that year went by, I found out that
the job I was working were cutting people by seniority. By the time I got back, they were cutting
people by seniority—actually, about half-way through the tour, they were
cutting people by seniority well above me, so I would have lost my job had I
have been there. So God was taking care
of me. I came back, walked pretty much
into another job; God blessed, all the way, straight through. Those are things that God has blessed me
with. Now, not everyone has the same
experience, but we all have things that God has blessed us with, and we have to
be quick to give God the glory. I’m
going to keep mentioning that book back there, because when we get
victories—when we put a prayer request in the one book, let’s be sure we put
the victory in the other book. I’m going
to say that over and over again, because we want to give God the glory for
that. And, I said I was going to read in
Matthew chapter six; and this is in that same text, right after Jesus tells us
how to pray. It’s good to read all of
chapter six, I like this stuff, where it talks about lay up for yourselves treasures
in Heaven… Matthew 6:25-34 Therefore
I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye
shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more
than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold
the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into
barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you
by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the
field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much
more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore
take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles
seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for
the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” I want to highlight that. It’s good to go back and read that whole
chapter, because all the pieces n there they all fit together. Sometimes we teach and preach on them
separate, but they all fit together.
Where’s your heart? Where’s my
heart? Where’s my understanding? Am I being humble towards God? As the communion team comes, we’re going to
encourage, let that be the thought as we go into the week. Are we surrendering to God? And we talk about, what is this communion all
about, as we take the body and the blood of Christ? As we remember the sacrifice. I don’t want to take long, but, God wants us
to be humble. God wants us to surrender
to Him.
