God Will Surprise You
Lance Wallnau
Sunday November 15, 2015
Theme –
Occasionally, troubling events in life can cause us to question our purposes
and destinies, and threaten our positive outlook on life. However, these
events are part of God’s shaking the heavens and earth, and should be
understood as opportunities to be used by God.
· The Mother Flame
o Similar to what happens with the
Olympic Flame, God keeps burning a perpetual flame of destiny for each of us.
o We should prayerfully approach God
to ensure we can take advantage of God’s work on the planet.
· Pray for influence
o We sometimes pray for our own
perceived necessities, instead of understanding bigger issues through which God
is working.
o God takes what Satan does, and uses
us in the midst of it, to help fulfill His purpose.
o We should be praying to perceive the
empowering meaning of how God is working through troubling events.
· A philosophy to embrace chaos
o Romans 14:17 – “for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but
righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
o The world may be getting worse, but
we can get better.
o What we believe about our
experiences shapes our perceptions, environments, and decisions.
o If we can perceive the events of the
world through God’s Word, we can powerfully understand and interpret what is
happening.
· There is more than one heaven
o Genesis 1:1 – “In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth.”
o The “shaking” of the world is not a
problem,it is a promise.Hebrews
12:26-27 – “whose
voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised saying, “Yet once more I
shake not only the earth, but also heaven. . .that the things that cannot be
shaken may remain.”
o The shaking that is currently taking
place on earth is a result of the heavens also being shaken by God.
o The shaking that is currently taking
place is happening in order to remove the things on earth that are preventing
the Kingdom from being manifest.
o This shaking provides an opportunity
for us – who remain firm and standing – to be used by God.
· Look up
o Heaven is in the process of invading
earth.
o Luke 21:26-28 – men’s hearts are
shaken by what is happening on the earth. But, Jesus tells us this is a
result of God moving, “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift
up your heads, because your redemption draws near (v.28)”
o When God speaks, everything that is
out of order is shaken up, while everything that is established in the Kingdom
stands firm.
o Everything that was created was
created by God and for God. “For by Him all things were created that are
in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or principalities or powers.”Colossians
1:16. See
alsoJohn 1:3 andRomans 11:36.
o We need to pray for agreement into
what God is doing, so that we can gain perspective and encouragement.
o This prayer movement will provide
opportunities for each of us to be used by God to reveal how He is manifesting
on earth.
o Get in a prayer flow with others,
and get in agreement to understand what is happening on the planet and to be
used by God.
Reflective
Questions for Guard the Fire in Your Life
1. Lance
Wallnau indicated his own prayers sometimes focus more on his own immediate
needs, rather than on gaining understanding about the bigger issues of how God
is moving on the planet. How much of your prayer time is devoted to
gaining a heavenly perspective? If you do pray for a heavenly
perspective, do you also pray for insight into how you can be used?
2. On
the surface, there may seem to be a conflict between the peace & joy
referenced inRomans 14:17 and the shaking of the earth
referenced in Hebrews 12 and Luke 21. How can peace and joy coexist with
the earth’s shaking?
3. Why
is it best if we can organize ourselves into prayer teams to pray for
perspective, instead of just individually doing so?
4. Can you explain why the shaking of
the world is not a problem but a promise?
