God speaks in many different ways, and we cannot create a formula on how the Lord relates to His people. The unique way that God interacts with individuals is to be celebrated! The church has a tendency to to take a promise of God say that it is for a future time. This behavior causes us to have no responsibility to partner with God to bring His promises into reality. Our humility allows God to trust us with the rich promises He has for us.

Can we as believer's influence the decisions of God? How did David and Mary pull a promise that was intended for future generations into their own time? Kris poses the question "what has been predetermined by God?"

We are the hope of glory, commissioned to co-partner with God to bring hope into the world. Abraham and Sarah received a promise from God that was inconceivable in their old age. However, through their belief and hope in the promise of God, they conceived a child. Hope helps us to believe the promise of God when areas in our life are unsatisfied. We hope for what we cannot see, and persevere until it passes.

The church is in need of fathers. To find a spiritual father you must first find yourself. If you have not learned to be a son than every father will disappoint you. You will learn how to be a son by grabbing ahold of your identity in Christ. Jesus was a great son. Jesus broke down the dividing walls that separate us from our destiny, identity, & fathers and mothers.

In Luke 2, shepherds were watching sheep when suddenly heaven invaded earth and pronounced something that was incomprehendible. A pronouncement was made which provided a new lens through which to see reality.
Jesus shed his blood to make it possible for you to live under a continuous throne room experience. Sometimes we get promises that come in infant promises. We play a certain role when God deposits a possibility to us, and we have a responsibility to nurture it. We need to be pregnant with promise.

Renewing of your mind is key to personal transformation. One of our most marvelous touls is joy. Joy is supernatural in the midst of a crisis. In the world feelings follow action. When you host the presence of the lord, you get more done on accident then you ever did on purpose. The things that concern you has a seed for kingdom explosion.
The kingdom says the seed will produce what i need and a renewed mind sees the oak tree in the acorn.

We need process to come into the promise. In Exodus 23, God said that He would not drive out the Israelites enemies in one year so that they will take possession of the land and grow in their ability to manage the land He had given them. There is an enemy in any land that has a promise. To have a public ministry, you first need to have a private victory. Everyone needs a wilderness experience. The devil waits for an opportune time until you are weak and in your weakness, He is strong. The goal of wilderness is not to destroy you, but to destroy your enemy.

You need to draw near to the voice of the Lord for your sake, not to minister to others. In 1 Kings 18, Elijah humbled himself before the Lord in prayer and seven times asked the servant to look for a cloud as a sign of God answering his prayer. On the 7th time, there was a cloud the size of a man's hand, but that was all the encouragement Elijah needed. Elijah was leaning into the Lord and didn't need great signs to believe God.
We need to find a realm in life where there is no cloud in the sky and then become possessed by promise!
