Calvary Christian Center G-12 Administration – Life Notes Church Anniversary Dr. Earl Johnson 03/17/2013 “In The Beginning” “Everything In Life Has A Beginning” Psalm 119:104 Genesis 8:22 Genesis 1:14-16 Proverbs 8:10-13 • The problem that you have now is not the real problem • God is having you to examine your problem – So that you can see the opportunity that the problem brought • Stop looking at the problem and saying “I have a problem” • You should look at world affairs through the eyes of the Word of God • Through your precepts you get understanding • When everybody is preaching doom – You need to know that in the doom, there is a misunderstanding of “Glory” • As a believer, you have the opportunity to see the “Glory of God” rather than the doom • It’s where you choose to do it • God has done everything at creation • Creation became the foundation • Righteousness of God is the spiritual foundation for all existence • It’s God who did it – He laid the foundation – What more could He do? • The Righteousness of God is a standard by which God relates to you • God always takes care of the Righteous – He always provide for them • The Righteous are those who are in right standing with God • Right standing with God is achieved through Jesus • If you get knowledge – It will bring riches • You should not pursue riches – You should pursue wisdom and knowledge • There are many creations that must come into this world • God will give witty ideas to the believers first • Many believers are sitting on ideas that could make them wealthy • You must listen – You must hear – And you must get a pattern of obedience in your life • God hates a “forward mouth” • A “forward mouth” – is a mouth that speaks opposite of what God says • You “say” what God “say” • You should hate what God hates, and love what He loves • Always remember that there will always be :seedtime and harvest” • If you plant – You will reap • There is a life cycle for what you plant – Stop trying to see what’s growing and keep planting • The light in the firmament is for four things: 1. Signs – A distinguishing mark, warning, symbol 2. Seasons - An appointed time, place or meeting 3. Days 4. Years

"Why should I Tithe"?

Calvary Christian Center G-12 Administration – Life Notes Pastor: Phillip G. Goudeaux Jr 02/17/2013 “Winning The Lost At Any Cost” “Why Do/Should I Tithe” Romans 4:18-21 Mark 4:14-19 Hebrews 11:1,6,33; (1-33) Genesis 4:1-7 • If you want to be blessed by God, there are some things you must do • You must obey His Word in the area of tithing • Tithing represents to God who is in ownership • God gives you the free will to tithe or not to tithe • Tithing is ten percent – God really owns it all, you are just giving back to Him a tenth • You should tithe because you appreciate God and because you want to please Him • If you want to please someone - You will go out of your way to please them or do what you can for them • Tithing is pleasing God Four key things you must be willing to do: 1. You must be willing to take bold actions without understanding • God will tell you to do something and you must be prepared to do it 2. Be willing to pursue wisdom • Every wrong decision you make is due to a lack of wisdom • Wisdom comes through the Word of God 3. Be willing to fight negative thoughts • The enemy is going to do everything he can to throw negative thoughts into your mind to stop you from being successful and victorious • Satan’s job is to pollute your mind with negative thoughts to cause you to doubt God’s ability, power, and willingness to show up on your behalf • You must cast down all negative thoughts 4. Be able to stand up under pressure • When you get pressure, you need to lift your head and shout your way out • You must put some pressure on the enemy • Pray more, give more, and go out and win some souls • The number one thing that Satan does to rip you off – He uses offense • Grow up and start letting people dictate to you • As you start trying to get your life together – The enemy is going to fight against you • If you want to lift more weight – You must put more weight on the bar • The enemy wants to choke the Word in you - He does not want you to be under the Word • He wants your life to be fruitless • If you are going to live a victorious life – You can not consider the circumstances around you • The circumstances will come to dictate to you because they want to kill, steal, and destroy • When you are going through circumstances – Began to praise and give God the glory for your victory • The enemy is fighting against you because you have some faith that he wants to steal from you • Faith is not just believing – It is acting on the Word of God • Acting on the Word releases the power of God on your behalf • You don’t have to see it to know that you have it Some things your must do this year to have the greatest year you have ever had: 1. Hear the Word like you have never heard it before 2. Dream like you have never dreamed before 3. Believe God like you have never believed Him before 4. Pray like you have never prayed before 5. Obey like you have never obeyed before 6. Sow like you have never sown before 7. Praise God like you have never praised Him before • God has principles and ways that He wants to bless you • God will not allow you to manipulate Him • God wants you to do what the Word says • When you take the key of faith and put it into the ignition of God’s Word – Things will start happening in your life • It will only happen when you do what God tells you to do
