“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“The Benefits of the Cross”
Galatians 2:21
• It was Jesus’ love for you that kept Him on the cross
• You have to own, walk-out, display, and take responsibility for what Jesus did for you on the cross
• The cross is an instrument of death – You must understand what Jesus went through to die on the cross for you
• What do you owe to the person that got you off death row?
• You should be going out of your way to make things happen for the church that Jesus gave His life for
• If you want to see a change in your life – Try to out-work, out-serve, out-help, out-give,
and out-pray every person in the church
• When you get offended, hurt or walk around in guilt and condemnation – You are making Jesus’ death in vain
• The three greatest words ever spoken was – Paid In Full
• The worst mistake you could ever make has already been paid for
• Now God wants you to walk around like you own the cross - You own the blood and truth
• He wants you to own that life and be somebody
• You are not insufficient – Jesus wants you to walk in the authority that He died for you to have – Not hopelessness
• There was a solution before there was ever a problem
• But if you don’t know that you are free – You will continue to act like a slave
• Don’t forget what you are suppose to remember – Don’t forget what Jesus went through
• Don’t remember what you are suppose to forget – It is under the blood - It’s done – Jesus paid the price and you are free

“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“Encouragement for Recovery”
I Samuel 30:1-9 Psalms 18:37 Judges 6:11-13
• Most people have several areas in their lives where they need to be pursuing, recovering, and overtaking all
• Hurting people – Hurt other people
• When you are hurting, you must quickly work on yourself – Because you might do something to hurt someone else even though you don’t mean to
• When going through the tough times of your life – You must find ways to encourage yourself
• Surround yourself with people who are positive and are willing to offer you encouragement
• At some point, you have to stop complaining and start doing something
• There is no overtaking without pursuing
• If you are going to be a pursuer and a over taker – You must have a good attitude
• Your attitude is the behavior and the mood created by something that you have chosen to focus on
• Your attitude is more powerful than your gifts and talents
• Your attitude is the force that determines whether you will – Multiply or decrease, grow or die, attract or repel the company of other successful people
• When you are going through something and you have the right attitude – God will bring people across your path that will help you get to where you want to go
• Your attitude is the power tool used by God to reconstruct your circumstances around you
• When you change your attitude – There will be many things that will leave your life
• What you magnify in your mind – Is controlling your attitude
• When you have a bad attitude – You are a human magnet for every negative thing to come your way
• When you have a bad attitude – The enemy will cause you to do dumb things
• If you can just believe that God is with you – It will start changing your attitude
• The Lord is with you – You mighty men and women of valour
• Change your attitude – Change your life
• If you change what is going out of you – You will change what is happening all around you
• When you have a bad attitude – You deliver yourself into all the negative things that are going on in the world
• Don’t allow your circumstances to have dominance over the Word of God
• Your attitude will decide the entrance or exit of a miracle in your life

“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“Fighting Off Discouragement”
I Samuel 30:1-9 Psalms 42:6, 11
• One of the problems in the church today is - The church has a passive spirit
• God did not save you to just go to church – The church is a filling station
• God gave you the authority in the Name of Jesus - The power in the Blood
• He gave you Dominion – Might – The ability to function in this earth realm
• God gave you armor to function in this hostile world
• There are enemies in the spiritual realm that are fighting against your prosperity: spiritually – physically – mentally – financially – socially
• The enemy is warring against your forward progress
• David was a man after God’s own heart – He was known for war and fighting
• God wants you to be a warrior
• Whether you know it or not – You are under an attack from the enemy
• When you are going through an area that you are being challenged in your walk – You need to ask some questions:
• “Why am I feeling like this?” “Why am I feeling down and out?” “Why do I feel discouraged?” “Why do I feel like giving up?”
• Discouragement is the number one enemy to a believer
• If the devil can make you want to give up – Loose your heart – Loose your courage – You can not do anything
• Discouraged: Being drained of courage – Wanting to give up – Dismayed – Fearful – Depressed – Oppressed – Dishearten – To loose your confidence
• You can not use your faith - When you’re discouraged
• You must keep your eyes fixed toward the hills from which cometh your help
• Because your help cometh from the Lord
• God has given you everything you need to be successful in this earth realm
• You have to exercise your authority
• You can not allow this kingdom to rule your life by what you see or what you hear
• You are a part of a different Kingdom
• You are a new species in Christ Jesus
• Ten things you need to know when you are dealing with the Spirit of Discouragement:
1. Think on what God has done in your life (Exodus 13:3)
2. See God bigger than your problem
3. You have to have faith in what God says (Numbers 23:19)

“Friendship Sunday”
“Confronting the Issue’s”
Proverbs 27:10 Proverbs 27:17
• Sometimes disaster does strike – Situations happens that are out of your control
• Because you have a friend – You don’t even have to go to family members for assistance
• If you have any type of relationship with someone - There will be conflict
• You must be conflict resolution minded in your relationships – You should work through them and not run from them
• Three things you need to know about conflict:
1. Conflicts always have a cure
• There is a resolution, there is peace – There is something that God can bring to cure your marital problems and your interpersonal relationships
2. You can not correct what you are not willing to confront
• Your graduation or you going to the next level will never happen until you confront the situation
3. You can not correct what you are not willing to confront
• You can not help everybody – Even God can not help a person when they are not willing to change
• If the person does not respect the God-Wisdom in you – They will never accept your counsel and you can not help someone who will not receive you
• Here are six Health benefits of Friendship:
1. Increases your sense of belonging and purpose
• The world does everything it can to keep you isolated and separated
2. It boost your happiness
• There are forces fighting against your happiness – God has an antidote called “a friend”
3. Friendship reduces stress
• One of the biggest killers today is stress – Most of the diseases people are receiving is out of stress
4. Improves your self-worth
• A good friend just makes you feel better about your self
5. Decreases the risk of serious Mental Illness
• Psychology Today, states that one out of three people are dealing with some level of Mental Illness – A friend will reduces those issues
•
6. Helps you weather the trauma of Divorce, Serious Illness, Job Lost or Death of a
Loved One
• God designed a full-proof situation to help you through the times when you are hurting the most – God designed friendships
• God has brought friends into your life to help you be a better person
• They have something to add to you – Can you receive it?
• Do you recognize the value your friends are to you?
• The devil fights so hard against you having friendships and relationships
• He does not want you to be sharpened to the level that you can be a serious weapon against the works of the enemy out in the world
• God wants to sharpen you – But it’s not going to be by yourself
• It will be because you learned how to build relationships and listen to them
• God brings you a gift – That gift is called a friend
• You can not get to where you want to go without receiving the wisdom of that friend
• You must come to the place in your life that you recognize the value of friendships
• If you don’t recognize the value or learn to receive wisdom from friendships
• You will always be flipping and flopping in your pursuit of happiness, greatness, and your prosperity – Because you don’t know how to protect your friendships
• There is a connection between friends, a chemistry – An aroma that is released and goes up to God when friends come together
• The same thing happens with churches – God brings you to a church where the “Man of God” can help you
• There is a releasing of the DNA of the “Man of God” into your life – This is all done to help you move up
• Don’t allow the enemy to cause you to get into offense and make you leave the place where you received your DNA
• You must fight off anything that comes against your relationships and friendships

Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All
“Having an Aggressive Attitude Toward the Enemy”
Matthew 11:12 Luke 10:19 Acts 10 Genesis 14:14-16 I Samuel 30:1-6
• Many Christians are living a passive lifestyle
• They are praying and asking God to do something - When God has asked them to do something
• God has commanded you to take your authority, your dominion, to use the anointing or the power of God that He has put upon you to make a difference
• There is an area of your life where God expects you as a Christian to be on the attack – To be violent toward what has been happening to you, your health, marriage, family, children, and your finances
• At the name of Jesus – Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess
• God has given you authority in the heavens and in the earth
• The violent shall take it by force
• Violent: Aggressive – To take power, might, and aggressive authority – Go after it
• You can not allow the enemy to come into your house and attack your family without aggressively dealing with him in that area
• You are called to take care of business – And you must have an aggressive attitude in those areas
• Whatever the enemy is fighting you with – You have the power, or authority to exercise in this earth realm
• Stop sitting around hoping and wishing for something to change in your life
• When you have the authority to change it - You have the authority to make a difference
• Many Christians are praying and putting it in God’s hand to do something
• That is a passive spirit that the enemy loves for Christians to have
• You’re praying for God to do something – When God has already told you what to do
• God wants you to be aggressive in every area of your life
• This is your year to bring back all that was stolen from you
• There were some things stolen from you that you didn’t even know about
• Some things were stolen from your family members who are no longer here
• The rewards are there for you
• Sometimes when you’re going through the tough times and there is no one to stand with you – You can not be mad at the people that will not encourage you
• You must stand anyway and encourage yourself in the Lord your God
• The devil loves to discourage you – He is trying to cause you to give up
• You must believe that God is still on the throne
