NEGOTIATING WITH GOD

Genesis 18:17-33

Many things about the physical realm reflect the spiritual possibilities in the Spirit realm.
Truths are parallel.
This is part of what parables show us.
Parables are fictional stories, that reveal a moral or spiritual truth.
Jesus used parables to communicate spiritual truths on an earthly level.
The reason for Jesus teaching in parables was to make deep spiritual truths, particularly about God's Kingdom easy for people to understand.

If we negotiate in the physical realm, we negotiate in the spiritual realm to.
Isaiah 1:18 shows us negotiating with God is possible.
The word 'negotiation' is a word associated with business.
Every child of God is a spiritual business man or woman.
We are here doing business for God, that's why God doesn't take us to heaven immdiately we give our lives to Jesus Christ. Luke 19:13

God leaves us here on earth to use the gifts and abilities He has put in us. 1 Corinthians 12:7-8
And one day we will give an account to God of how we have done 'business' for God.
Every child of God is a spiritual business man or woman.
Successful business men will tell you that the ability to negotiate is an vital factor in business.
"In business you don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate"
In our spiritual walk we can negotiate with God.
People who can negotiate with God get more out of God. It's the reason some sons and daughters of God have more to show than their brethren.
Isaiah 38:1
Prayer is the major way we negotiate with God.
The Word of God is our spiritual business manual
God's Word shows us what we can have and what we can ask. Romans 12:2
We discover from the Word what we can negotiate for.

We negotiate with God in prayer by:
1) Asking Questions-  prayer time is also a time to ask God for what we want and to as God questions about life and issues. Matthew 7:7
2) Seeking and Knocking- What we seek in life and prayer is what we get. Matthew 7:7
3) Speaking God's Word back to Him- Speaking God's Word back to God CAN guarantees His attention.
4) Interceeding- Abraham was negotiating with God through intercession. Genesis 18:17-33

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
