Pablo Pt. 1: By God Through a Friend
Posted by admin in All Podcasts, Legacy Archive, Pablo on August 28, 2017
Acts 9:8-20 (KJV)
Jesus left Paul blind. Why? He wanted him to see that you need Jesus in your life, but you also need people who love Jesus in your life in order to fulfill the plan in your life in order to fulfill the plan God has for your life.
A friend
Could it be that the vast majority of the healing that takes place in your life comes BY God THROUGH a friend?
The thing that makes friendships great is the same thing that makes them dangerous. You drop your guard. Acceptance leads to influence.
Warning Signs:
When you say “I’ll listen to that, I’ll go to that, I’ll watch that, but I’m not going to participate in that.”
When you hope that people you respect the most don’t find out where you’ve been, what they’ve said or who you’ve been with.
When you catch yourself lowering your standards to gain approval by them.
When something that was off limits before, suddenly become an option.
When you see they are not moving in the same direction as you and they don’t desire to.
They love Jesus
You can talk about Jesus with them.

Invite Weekend: From Saul to Paul
Posted by admin in All Podcasts on August 21, 2017
Acts 26:9-18 (MSG)
How can you achieve more success?
Who are you?
Who would other people say that I am?
Mathew 16:13-14 (KJV)
How would you define you?
Religious
Wise
Passionate
Right
Terrorist
Acts 26:15-16 (MSG)
When people act a certain way or have a life event happen to them, we often change their definition. We attach labels to lives.
Lie=Lair
Mean=Mean Person
Addiction=Addict
Steal=Theif
Abused=Victim
Loved one die=Orphan or Widow
I did it to Paul. He cause terror so I labeled him a terrorist. His action changed his definition.
God doesn’t see things this way. Our actions in His eyes don’t change our definition. In essence He says, “That may be what you did, but that’s not who you are.”
Paul ask: Who are you Lord?
Jesus: I am the one you are persecuting, now up on your feet, let Me tell you about this amazing plan I have for your life.
Who are you?
I am loved by a God who has an amazing plan for my life.
1 Timothy 15-19 (MSG)

Proverbs 4:10-18 (KJV)
Proverbs 4:26 (KJV)
The sooner you evaluate your path the better off you will be
Evaluating your path regularly leads to safety and increases your likelihood of hearing from God.
The biblical record shows that Jesus wove into the fabric of his every day life the disciplines of prayer, solitude, reflection and worship. When faced with major decisions,His pattern was to withdraw from the crowds around Him and devote time to solitude and prayer.
Jesus practiced the power of the pause. He would pause and then take purposeful, intentional action.
