Growing With Intent: Part 1

Main Point: Grow with intent. Be purposeful in strengthening your relationship with God and you will grow spiritually.

3 Helpful ways to grow with Intent:

1.Run to the Cross – Sin is dealt with at the cross.

2.Put yourself in situations to experience God – Be intentional about being were God is.

3.Don’t be afraid to get uncomfortable for God’s Kingdom – Stepping out of your comfort zone is where you will see signs and wonders.

Run to the Cross:

1 John 1:9-10. God is faithful to forgive us when we repent.

Proverbs 28:13. Those that conceal their sin will not prosper but those that confess and forsake their sin will have mercy.

Revelations 3:19. Be earnest to repent. God disciplines those he loves.

Put yourself in situations to experience God.  

Church, worship, prayer, bible reading, tithing, serving. As you experience more of God you will grow and mature.

Hebrews 10:24-25. Encourage one another to Love and to good works. Do not forsake to assemble together.

Ephesians 5:18-21. Be filled with the spirit and join together in song and thanksgiving to God.

Don’t be afraid to get uncomfortable for God’s Kingdom.

John 15:16. We did not chose God but God chose us to bear fruit, and as we bear fruit, God gives us what we ask.

Pastor’s Thoughts:

Look at it this way. If you need God to intervene for you (any prayer request), then seek for opportunities to bear fruit even if it gets you out of your comfort zone.

It is when you step out of your comfort zone that you will see signs and wonders and the supernatural hand of God move on your behalf.
