Heaven’s Draw
1. Highlights
-It is not just what you say but what you do that really matters.
-It is not what you Do but What you do that really matters.
– God wants both authentic knowledge and authorized actions.
-The wrong question is, “Are you for us or against us?” The
right thing to say is, “We are here for you.” We want God to bless our
endeavors instead of asking God how how can I be of service to Him?
-Obedience always costs something, but it always gains something.
2. Discussion Questions
-What promised land, victories, promises and provisions has
the Lord promised to you that you have not taken yet?
– Discuss the difference between authorized and
unauthorized actions when it comes to our relationship with God.
– What is God calling you to do that you are not
comfortable with? What do you believe the potential outcome of that
obedience could be?
3. Key Scriptures and Quotes
-“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your
name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never
knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (Matthew 7:21-23 NIV)
-“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have
been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many
things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ (Matthew 25:21 NIV)
-Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who minister by night
in the house of the Lord. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and
praise the Lord. (Psalm 134:1, 2 NIV)
-If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his
commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above
all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and
accompany you if you obey the Lord your God: (Deuteronomy 28:1, 2 NIV)
-“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he
will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—
(John 14:15, 16 NIV)
-Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing
in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him
and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” “Neither,” he replied,
“but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then
Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What
message does my Lord have for his servant?” The commander of the Lord
’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are
standing is holy.” And Joshua did so. (Joshua 5:13-15 NIV)
