Future Quest – The Kingdom, Do You See It? – Day 2
On day 2 my best friend came with me and we hung out in the DJ lounge where a band was playing. Mom wasn’t with us so we were free to go wherever we wanted. At 6:45pm we headed once again into the Sanctuary for another Message. We sang Praise/Worship songs for about 30 minutes and then seated ourselves to hear the ‘Surprise’ Speaker for that day talk to all 300 of us.
His name was Mark Hoffman, the founder of the Church. I took a lot of notes on what he taught us, and although he didn’t make me cry he impacted my life harder then I would ever imagine. This is what I took down;
~~~NEED TO KNOW~~~
*Earth is 24,000 miles around in circumference.
*The sun is 333,000 times in mass that the earth is.
*The Milky Way is only one out of seven million galaxies in the universe.
*Light is the fasts thing on this earth, it can travel at the speed of 186,000 miles per hour and it can go around the earth 7 times in only one second.
All this stuff is amazing and BIG to us, but God can hold all this in between his two fingers, think that’s big?
*Studies from scientists have shown that if our earth was in any other position then life itself could not exist. And although most scientists who study space do not believe in God and Heaven, this is what they are saying; “It is almost like everything was prepared for us!” well DUH! This study is called the Anthropic Principle.
~~~THREE THINGS TO NEVER FORGET AS LONG AS YOU LIVE!~~~
1.) It’s no accident that we are here! God put us here for a purpose! He has a purpose for ever single person who is alive today. We need to find that purpose and the Bible says that God’s purpose for us is that we need to,
*Seek his face (seek Him)
*He promises that we WILL find Him if we really want to. You need to WANT to seek Him in order for you TO seek Him.
*He surrounds us. He is everywhere. He is in the Church, he is in the Hospital with a sick loved one. He is in the forests, in the trees, in Africa, in Asia, he is EVERYWHERE! He surrounds us!
Think about this, we were one sperm that made it out of 999,999,999 others. We made it, you made it, I made it. Think that’s just luck? Just an accident? NO! We were here because he purposely picked us! He picked you! He KNEW you before you were born! He knew you before the beginning of time.
*he knew you
*he set us apart
*he chose you (us)!
*he knows what you will do in life and when you will go up and meet him.
2.) You can make a connection to God fore Jesus! You can get online with God and Jesus right NOW! [www.JesusChrist] www. =
Wherever
Whenever
Whoever
You need ‘MODS’ to get you online with Jesus. Here are YOUR Mods;
*The Holy Spirit
*Bible, prayer, worship, obedience.
*SEAK GOD! Get online with him today!
-- You ALWAYS need a modem
-- When you live ‘online’ with God every single thing is POSSIBLE!
3.) Holiness keeps us on God’ wavelength.
Holiness is…
*Learning to think how God thinks. [WWJD WhatWouldJesusDo?]
*wanting to please God more than people
*Striving to be like Jesus
*Learning to love what God loves and learning to hate what God hates.
What God Hates;
*God hates things that hurt people.
*Pride
*Lies
*Gangs/Violence
*Violence
*Gossip
~EVERY DAY YOUR SOUL IS BEING FORMED!!
~GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!~
Question To Ask Yourself:
*Why are you on earth?
*What s YOUR purpose?
