RECONNECTING WITH YOUR AMAZING PURPOSE

Crazy Happy - Part 6 of 9

May 9, 2021 | Gabe Kolstad | @gabekolstad 

So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. -2 Thessalonians 1:11 (NLT)

The Problem: DISCONNECTION
The Solution: Learn to DANCE again

God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. -Matthew 5:8 (NLT)

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: Goodness... -Galatians 5:22 (NLT)

“Goodness” is GOD-LIKENESS; 

 

We become people of goodness

 

When we follow God’s PROMPTINGS

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. -Galatians 5:25 (NIV)

Luke 10:25-37 - The Good Samaritan

4 STEPS TO DANCING AGAIN:

  • RELEASE

  • RECOGNIZE

  • RESPOND

  • RELY

(Jesus) gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

-Titus 2:14 (NIV)

For Reflection & Discussion:

  • Have you ever witnessed someone being totally tuned in and connected to God’s promptings, and then following through? What about them inspired you? 

  • When you think about what knocks you off course most often during the day, which one is worst: (1) The world, (2) The flesh, or (3) The devil?

  • Is there a prompting God has been bringing to you repeatedly? Are you willing to share it with someone? Are you ready to take action and trust God to lead you?
