Notes
Ephesians 3:20 NLT
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Luke 8:22
22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out.
1. On A Certain Day
not just a special day the greek says this was an extra ordinary day
this was a day not like any other
we are never a same o same o people
this is not just another year
not just another day
or season
life is a package of Days
God want us to recognize the uniqueness of each moment
Here we see the Holy Spirit saying i want to show you an extra ordinary day
A day by day awareness uniqueness of what i have given you each day
Starting with God in first place at the center
Let us go to the other side
2. Hear What He Is Saying About Today
many times we are trying to take our plan to God and say ok God here it is bless it
Friends when you do what He tells you to do the blessing is on His plan
John 10:27
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
They hear and heed it
HOW DO YOU HEAR MORE CLEARLY?
Romans 12:2
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Oh! Give me Samuel’s ear, an open ear, O Lord! Alive and quick to hear each whisper of thy word. Like him to answer to thy call and to obey thee first of all!
Luke 7:28
For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
If you can learn to listen God will use your life in such a magnificent way
3. Harken
Think of what I would of missed if I hadn’t followed that whisper
Luke 8:22
22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that He got into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. 23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”
What happened on the other side
all these things happened on the same day
He Commanded a tempest to cease
The storms are out there
Your not going under you are going over
You have Jesus in the boat
The Demoniac set free
Woman with an issue of blood healed
A dead girl was raised from the dead
Here is my point
Not Just another ordinary Day
Gods life in you to put you in unique situations to do things that are extra ordinary designed to change the fabric the texture of the days and lives of people
if you will just become conscious of the life of God in you
We are agents of Gods life
You may not have four things like this all happen in one day
Can you imagine if all Gods children walked out each day with a matter of certainty
today is special
today is unique
today I will follow
It may not happen in exactly the same way but
Life comes instead of death
Strength instead of weakness
Peace instead of turmoil
Because we live listening to his spirit
doing what He says
Growing in effectiveness
As we live in the moment
Things don’t get changed in this world unless we hear from God
And in faith respond
2 Corinthians 6:2b
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Ephesians 3:20 NLT
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture, you can change a person’s life.
