OPEN IN PRAYER

MESSAGE SUMMARY

Pastor Duaine adds to our WORDS series! He is going to set up the spiritual foundation to understand the power of your words. The spiritual authority of the Lord has also been given to us, because we are made in His image. With the natural way of things bent towards disorder we get to dive into how we can use our authority, as children of God, to create, transform and bring our life into order with the Word!

SCRIPTURES
Ecclesiates 8:2
John 1:1, 10
John 3
Matthew 8
Luke 15

DISCUSSION

1. Pastor Duaine reminds that we DO NOT rush away from the presence of a King. Just like the heavens and the earths were preserved when God spoke them into existence. God, our King, has the power to change your live by the word He speaks, because of His authority, in an instance!
a. Take a moment to think about your time with God, our King. Share about what you would shift/change, if any, to ‘not rush away’ from him?
b. How would you encourage others to ‘not rush’?

2. Words shape everything around us. Logos the word of God or Logic is the full expression of an idea. Christ is God’s full mind expressed!  Understanding that our natural world left unmanaged will always lean towards chaos. God has given us the authority or Christ to transform with our words.
a. Share what new things you’ve learned about your understanding of the power of your words.
b. What are somethings in your life that you need to transform and put in order with your words in prayer?

3. God wants us to do the same as He does and use our words to transform and bring out the potential of things around us, bring things back into order and speak to remove rebellious things in our lives
a. How do you feel knowing you have access to the same power and authority that created heaven and earth? The same authority who spoke to himself to create YOU?
b. Talk about the understanding of being able to partner with God to govern with the power and authority.

CLOSING

Remind and Encourage your group:
• They were born into a Kingdom and Family when they choose Christ.
• They have the power to enforce the royal law of God’s Kingdom and delegate influence.
• They have legal authority to do, everything a son of God should do!
• They are a child of God and that is their badge of authority and the word their power!

Challenge Your Group:
– TO USE THEIR AUTHORITY IN CHRIST!
• We are under God! He backs us when we use His word!
• Anything in your life that is outside of god’s word you have the legal authorization to open your mouth and put law in place!
• Speak like God backs your word!
• Believe when you open your mouth you are creating a president for God’s miracles to manifest in your life.

– ASK GOD TO SHOW YOU CONTINUED UNDERSTANDING ABOUT HIS WORD
• How to enforce kingdom law.
• Reread Matthew 8 about the Centurion and focus on his response to Jesus, “open your mouth and my servant will be healed”
