Anthology
The Greatest Words of God to Man.
::A collection of literary works chosen by the compiler.
- Poems
- Short Stories
- Songs
These are the greatest things that the Lord wants us to know.
He knows we couldn’t handle any more.
His ways are far above ours.
Bible says John 21:25 (NKJV)
25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
The Bible is a sneak peek into God and His plan for us.
Like looking down a telescope and seeing just so much but there is so much more out there.
The Bible is what God has left us. Out of all the books that could have filled the world this is what is left to us.
Didn’t leave us a
- Encyclopedia-but it will fill you with knowledge and wisdom
- Medical journal-but it will heal you
- Wall Street journal-but it will make you prosper
- Mills & Boon-but it will make you cry
- Book of riddles-but it will make you ponder
- Book on Nuclear Physics but there’s enough power to light up every life on planet earth.
- Diary-but you will get to know all about Him
- Time machine-but the ability to touch Heaven
If this is all we have then we better believe that every part of it is important!
It’s been on my heart because we can often not be into our Bible.
We can just hope that we will get by with little snippets.
Like just having coffee with your wife or husband once a week/month. Is like a dead sea scroll you have to blow he dust off.
That’s a catch up not a relationship!
Lord wants a close relationship with Him and He’s given us a blueprint on how that works in his Word.
This Anthology is a collection of the Greatest Words of God to Man.
Pentecostals can often be referred to as being a mile wide & 1 inch deep when it comes to our knowledge and understanding of the Bible.
This year I want us to change that!
I want us a mile wide and a mile deep and fill the whole space with Gods Word and his Spirit!
We are Spirit filled, Bible reading, God believing Christians ready to steam roll the works of the enemy!
Full of Gods Word Power and Authority-Amen!
We need the Word and the Spirit.
One of my mentors said this “Too much Word you Dry up, Too much Spirit you Blow up. Get the mix right and you’ll grow up!”
The Word and the Spirit are living.
You might look at a Bible and think its just paper and ink but it’s alive and will live forever
Isaiah 40:8 “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
Ps 119:89 “Your word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.”
- Gods word like Him is eternal. Its not going to change and its going to last forever..
- There is not going to be a recall on our bibles saying there’s a typo and God got it wrong
Isaiah 55:11 “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
- These are God inspired Words that are still able to accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent them.
How? They were written thousands of years ago.
Hang on a minute!
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
- It’s alive and active!
- Its not in a coma on life support
- Sharp and gets into our soul and our spirits.
We will spend roughly 30 weeks going from Genesis to Maps
- 14 weeks in the Old Testament
- 5 weeks in the New Testament
- 11 weeks going over the Ten Great Doctrines of the Bible.
- We will look at all the major men and women
- All the major events and where they took place.
This is what David thought of Gods word
Psalm 119:130
The Message (MSG)
129-136 Every word you give me is a miracle word—how could I help but obey?
Break open your words, let the light shine out, let ordinary people see the meaning.
Mouth open and panting, I wanted your commands more than anything.
Turn my way, look kindly on me, as you always do to those who personally love you. Steady my steps with your Word of promise so nothing malign gets the better of me. Rescue me from the grip of bad men and women so I can live life your way. Smile on me, your servant; teach me the right way to live. I cry rivers of tears because nobody’s living by your book!
David is crying “rivers of tears” because people were not living by the book.
- Ever tried to build without the instructions?
- When you do it all fits together real easy
Jesus said my burden is easy and yoke is light
- We think we can do it better so we “cast off” the wisdom of Jesus and try and do it all ourselves”
- Jesus is saying if you follow my instructions you’ll find it easy going. You’ll find rest for your souls.
Go by the Book!
Live by the Book!
David had received the revelation that “every word given me is a miracle Word.”
This year you will receive a miracle word from God because we are going to go hunting them.
When we look for His miracle Word
When we receive His miracle Word
When we believe His miracle Word
You and I will find God pouring out His Spirit!
