Pastor Weiner's Message

***Please read First Day of Group before reading this message. Thank you.***

The morning with Pastor Bob Weiner.

Genesis 1:26-28: Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.' 27 So God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female. 28 God blessed them, and god said to them, 'Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth."

We are called to raise up the world charges and be history makers.

Galatians 3:29: "And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, heirs according to the promise."

God made a covenant with Abraham. Every nation shall be changed and raised up.

When we think of the nations we shall pray first on the nations, then separate countries, then America, then states, then others, leaving ourselves last. We should never pray for ourselves first. We should be lifting up the nations, looking to the Kingdom of God. It's not focus on the family, it's focus on the Kingdom of God. We shall go to Him for everything.

What is the greatest inheritance we can leave our children?
The nations, through the kingdom of God.

Psalms 2:8: "Ask of me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession."

Deuteronomy 8:18: "But remember that the Lord your God gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant He swore to your fathers, as it is today."

Your children are your arrows.
Train up your child the way they should grow.
Revival

Restoration of the New Testament Church

Pastor Weiner had suffered a heart attack at the age of 38. He is now 60 something. When he asked the Lord why he had suffered a heart attack after being loyal and faithful to the Lord and doing all that he had been led to do; the Lord answered, "Because of pride." What? I'm not prideful he thought. Then the Lord told him, "You have placed the whole burden of the church upon your own shoulders. Taking the burden is the highest form of pride."

If we are taking on more than the Lord has told us to do; if we are taking on what we want and not what he wants; if we are trying to do it all; we are being prideful.

Get rid of that bondage. Delicate, let others help. Listen to what the Father tells you to do. Do not go it alone. It doesn't work. Look at what can happen when we don't listen.

1 Peter 5:5-7: "Likewise, you younger men, be subject to the elders. And all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. 6 Humble, yourselves therefore under the might hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, because He cares about you."

Greater grace goes to the humbled. Humility casting all your cares and worries to Jesus because He cares for you.
We are reminded that our faith is not big enough for Him. Raise your faith another step higher.
If you are worried about losing 20 % of say your house, why are you worrying when you have gained 150%. Quit worrying. Cast all your cares up to the Lord.

Are you taking on more than you should? Are you not following His instructions?

Get rid of anything that is not necessary in your life. To to a higher faith!!!

Do you have a little faith, or a big faith. Fill up your tank with faith.

1. Choose whether you have little faith or big faith.
2. Have faith
Romans 12:3: "For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one."
3. Exercise your faith muscle. Get rid of all the garbage in your life.
4. Walk by faith not by sight.

You must take your thoughts to a higher faith.
Thoughts = Hope
Hope = Faith
Faith = Success & Results

Thoughtless = Hopelessness
Hopelessness = Faithless
Faithless = No results, no success, nothing pain, agony, etc.

Everything starts with your thoughts.
Move your thought life up. Don't settle for less than 9.5 % or less. Take every thought captive.
Receive an apostolic gift of faith.

His youngest daughter Evangeline Weiner has written a book called: The calling of a Generation.
She's also filming in another country, but for the life of me can not remember for sure. Sorry.
Of course this isn't all that Pastor Weiner had said. He talked to fast to get it all. Wish I had taken my voice recorder with. Hope you all got something out of this. It was really good, and we all had a wonderful experience.

Glorifying God in Our Christmas Shopping

Yeah, I'm able to get on here and do a post tonight. I should really be in bed though, as I have to be back up early and then off to the church. :)

I just wanted to share another good message I came across. It's a littel late for this one, but there are still some that have shopping left to do. Besides, I think the message is important whether it be Christmas shopping or normal shopping (what ever that is). ;) Define normal! J/K

The message comes from Tony Reineke at Christianity.com

The title of the message is; Glorifying God in our Christmas shopping. Some of you may be thinking how in the world can one glorify God when shopping. Easy, be frugal when shopping. Only get those things that are beneficial and hold meaning.

Tony gave three questions he asks himself when buying gifts:

1. Does the gift serve the soul of the recipient?
2. Does the gift promise life transformation?
3. Does the gift encourage faith?

Those are three very good questions to ask. Instead of getting someone just any old thing, or something you like rather than thinking about the needs of the person.

This subject has a lot of meaning to me due to the fact I used to be a spend-aholic so to speak. I loved to go shopping, and bought things I wanted and for others as well. It didn't matter if it was "needed;" I just knew I liked it and wanted it, or liked it for someone else.

Now I do not like to shop, as I know it is real easy for me to slip back into that rotten habit. But...I've learned that by praying, asking to be filled with the Holy Spirit; for guidance, and for the Lord to walk with you, you will be led to do the right thing.

33 "But seek first the kingdom fo God and His righteousness, and all these things well be provided for you." Matthew 6:33

7 "Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8

9 "As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart anda willing mind, for teh Lord searches every heart and understands the intention of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake hHim, He will reject you forever." 1Chronicles 29:7
