“Is There Not a Cause”

I Samuel 17 Titus 1:5 Acts 28 Acts 16 Job 13:18 Psalm 9:4

• Goliath had the children of Israel paralyzed - They were afraid of Goliath

• Therefore, they were not doing anything or winning anyone for God’s kingdom

• Satan had them bound because of the “wolf ticket” he was selling them

• He was doing all he could to keep them from going ahead

• The enemy wants to put you in a box – He wants to restrict you – Limit you

• Hold you back from your potential – From being able to be the man or woman that God wants you to be

• Until we learn to get on God’s program – His plans – Do it His way

• We will never be able to move past the shackles of our past

• The restrictions, limitations, or the things that hold us back from obeying God

• We will never be able to experience the greatness of God in our life

• Satan knows that if he can keep you bound with fears and intimidations – He will always keep you under his foot

• Somewhere, we have to be able to start running with cause

• When we get cause in our lives – We will start causing God to show up in our lives in a greater area – Cause causes God to show up

• That is why the devil fights you from getting cause in your life

• He does not want you to have a purpose – A reason why you are here

• God did not just save us for ourselves – He saved us for everybody else out there

• Many people who say they are Christians – Are no threat to the kingdom of darkness

• Many Christians go to church just for the sake of going to church

• It is not just about going to church

• If you are going to church and you are not helping to build God’s kingdom - You are not in the will of God

• You need God to show up on your behalf – You want God to bless your life

• Why should God show up on your behalf when you are doing nothing for Him?

• He gave everything for you and you are doing nothing for Him

• You are not building His kingdom

• Not being a witness – Not discipline anybody – Not making a positive difference in other people’s lives

• Whenever you start running with cause, somebody will try to make it appear as if there is something wrong with you

• If you make up your mind that you are going to run with cause, you are going to do everything to please God

• The devil is going to send somebody into your life to try to snatch the cause from your life – Is there not a cause?

• For this cause, each of you have been brought into Calvary Christian Center

• None of you are here by accident – God has you here for a cause

• God did not bring you here under a Man of God that has a cause without you having a cause - God has you here for a cause - Run with cause

• God wants to use you beyond where you have ever been used before – God wants to bless you beyond where you have ever been blessed before

• Cause: That which produces results – To motivate – To bring about – To make it happen – Cause is a good work - Cause brings honor to God

• If there’s going to be a difference, it will happen when you pick up God’s cause

“The Year of God’s Great Abundance of Grace”
“Friendship Sunday”

Proverb 18:24 John 11:5, 35 - 36 Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 1 Corinthians 13:5

• A friend that sticks closer than a brother happens when - You come into covenant relationship with that person

• Five different levels of friendship

• Friends, they are your friends – But you have no relationship with them

• Highest = Covenant - Lowest = casual acquaintance

• Twenty-five percent of Americans have no one to confide in - No relationships

• There has been a thirty-five percent decrease in friendships in last five years

• Most people are too busy – They do not want to go out their way anymore

• Fifty-five percent of Americans say they have no one they can trust

• That is a miserable life – You got to have somebody to have a relationship with that you can trust

• You have to take time – Just like “Build a bear” – Build a friend

• If you are a hermit right now, and you want to just live long - Get a friend - Some one you can confide in that can help you to live long

• Friendships have been attacked – The world fights hard against friendships

• We have all had difficulty in relationships - That is a big issue

• Some people can not bounce back after a difficult situation

• Why do we have difficulty in developing healthy relationships?

• Because of our perception – How we perceive people

• Our expectation for people might be too high

• Some enter relationships with the wrong motives

• Some put people into a box – When the box gets rocked – They say good-bye

• Some can not have a relationship because they have too many issues

• People use to speak to you when you would pass them on the street – If you knew them or not

• Do not be anchored in to your past pain, past hurts, or past mistakes

• God wants to bring a new person into your life to help you – True friendship

• You can not help correct what you will not confront –Let go of the past

• Faithfulness and loyalty are the two keys to true friendship

• It is better to have a friend close by – Than to have a brother far away

• Relationships – Friendships – Are very important to you - If it does nothing except make you live longer – Some of you want to live longer

• The enemy wants to make it more easier to walk away from relationships than to stay in one – It takes time to be able to get into relationships

• Relationships don’t just happen – We have to build them

• In every relationship – There are some challenges

• 101 Principle – You’ll find one percent of something wrong with a person

• Most relationships are broken up over one percent of something

• Focus on finding something good about a person – Then put one hundred percent towards that good

• Expand your borders by building more relationships – That is what G-12 is about

• Relationships takes – Time –Effort -Sacrifice

• You will never do much until you get hooked up with God’s cause for you

• You are where you are today for this cause – David was driven with cause

• Most people have a heart to serve God – They need a good butt kicking to get them moving

• How can we let the enemy control us, so we have no cause – Is there not a cause

• We can not let the world around us stay in darkness – This is the cause

• The church is the only thing that will make a difference to the world

• The dope-pushers, the recession, and the down and outers - They all need help

• The church is the only thing that can pierce the darkness

• We must get off of our rusty dusty ( behind ) – We have to think of the cause

• Think about souls – God is looking for men and women driven with cause

• God is always thinking about souls – The enemy is always thinking about souls

• Jesus is the cause – He is the way – The only way - The only one

• Many believers try to live their lives without a cause - Is there not a cause

• Depression and suicide is taking over many people today – Because they have a
no cause

• If people have a cause - Depression and suicide will fall off of them

• When you want God to do something for you – God will say “Is there a cause?”

Witnessing

"Witnessing"

  • Open in Prayer
  • Song
  • Testimonies
  • Prayer of Three

Exodus 32:29
29: For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
• There is a shift taking place in the church. God is blessing His people through consecration.
• Consecration means we are devoted, dedicated, and giving it all to Him.
• There are different times that God calls for consecration to receive blessings.

I Chronicles 29:5
5: The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?
• When God built the temple, everything was dedicated to Him.

Proverbs 23:26
26: My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
• God wants our hearts. We have to give our hearts to Him.
• We have a choice where our heart goes.
• The heart and attitude of the heart go together.

Proverbs 4:20-23
20: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
• The measure of the heart given will determine your blessings.
• How much of our hearts have we given to God?
• We need our hearts to be in line with God.
• The measure of your heart given will determine your destiny.
• The measure of your heart given will determine your blessings.
• God is only held back by the amount of our heart we give Him.
• Everything is targeted at our hearts: music, videos, movies, books, etc.
• Where your heart is – your treasures are.
• God wants us to learn from each other.

Romans 12:1
1: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
• Beseech means to beg, plead, to cry out.
• Brethren means, he is speaking to the saints, not to heathens.
• Present means to yield to your heart.
• Sacrifice is what God demands.
• God made a sacrifice when He gave his Son.

Genesis 22
• Abraham had to pass the test. He had to: 1) leave his father; 2) believe God was going to bless him with a child, and 3) when Isaac was between 18 to 21 years old, God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac.
• Sacrifice demands for us to give up something we love for something that is greater.
• People want a blessing without sacrifice.
• God wants us to sacrifice to bring the next level of prosperity. It is the order of God.
• Many want the next level of blessings without the next level of sacrifice.
• Our flesh doesn’t like sacrifice, our soul doesn’t like sacrifice, and even sometimes, our spirit-man will fight against sacrifice.

I Kings 17:9
9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
• The widow woman was in a major recession.
• God sent the man of God to bring her out of her crisis, but it was not going to happen without sacrifice on her part.
• The water did not cost her anything.
• The cake did cost and it was a sacrifice.
• Sacrifice is another form of consecration.
• In order to get to where we want to go, it requires sacrifice.
• God brought a supernatural blessing to the widow woman.
• Some people never get the greater blessing because they don’t understand sacrifice.
• Our first sacrifice to God is ourselves.

II Timothy 2:21
21: If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
• If you ever want to look for an excuse you will find one.
• We don’t become a vessel of honor until we consecrate, sacrifice, and become meet for the Master’s use.

  • This is your time – You are in it now – Get a Revelation
  • You can’t rise above your revelation of  grace
  • There is a grace difference  - God’s unmerited Favor is only one facet
  • Grace is also God’s ability or power to assist you to do what he has called you to do
  •  God will give you the grace to live right - In faith – In Power – In favor
  • We live by faith not by sight – We forgive so that we are forgiven

  •  The devil is a dream killer - The devil is a vision stealer
  •  God is bigger than any of your circumstances - God is bigger than what you are going through
  • Faith will look past the right now – Faith can see the future
  • Will God find faith when he comes? – Is there their faith in your house
  • Favor is never an accident - It is always a deliberate act
  • Activate your faith today- Faith has to do with the heart
  • Grace is never an accident it is activated by faith  
  • You work the grace given to you – Like you work the word – By faith
