We are talking about the grace of giving
Paul is sharing two examples with the people
- The Macedonians
- They gave even in their poverty
- They gave of themselves first then their money.
- Jesus
- He gave out of his character
- Though he was rich, he became poor for us
- Perichoresis
- Making room for another to move.
- Movement – Choreography- Jesus did what He saw His Father doing.
- He gave out of his character
- Holy Spirit – Wild Goose
- He is always moving
- There is substance to the Holy Spirit, Acts 19:11
- Handkerchiefs & Aprons given to the sick
- The woman who touched the hem of Jesus’ garment
- Peter’s shadow healed people
- Find out what the Holy Spirit is doing and do it
- Handkerchiefs & Aprons given to the sick
- I Samuel 30 –
- David has to fight the battle that Saul didn’t complete
- we have to fight the battles for the next generation
- David found strength in the Lord (verse 6)
- he returned to worship
- He found what God was doing in the middle of the situation
- God is not reactive, He is proactive
- When we line up with the dance of God we are unstoppable
- God plus one man is never a minority; God plus anybody is always a majority
- Verse 11 – God will use anybody “look for the Egyptian”
- He found what God was doing in the middle of the situation
- he returned to worship
- David has to fight the battle that Saul didn’t complete
- The Church is supposed to be supernatural
- Verse 20 – Don’t be selfish with what the Lord has given us
- If there are a few people who break through, it makes a way for many
