John 15: 9-179 As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide

in My love.10

If you keep My commandments, you willabide in My love, just as I have kept My Fathers

commandments and abide in His love.11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may

remain in you, and thatyour joy may be full. 12 This is

My commandment, that you love one another as Ihave loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this,

than to lay down ones life for his friends.


3/21



14 You are My friends if you do whatever Icommand you. 15 No longer do I call you servants,for a servant does not know what his master isdoing; but I have called you friends, for all thingsthat I heard from My Father I have made knownto you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose youand appointed you that you should go and bearfruit, and thatyour fruit should remain, that

whatever you ask the Father in My name He maygive you. 17 These things I command you, that youlove one another.

For Those Who Run Part 6 The past few weeks have been full of challenges concerning the way

you think, the condition of our mind and revolutionary action in aoverview of a system. The system or culture of this world hasinfluenced the church and now it is time for the church to influencethis system.

It is the way it is supposed to be, Matthew 5:13

13 You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shallit be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out andtrampled underfoot by men.

I want you to think in terms of influence.. The power to change

perception, minds, cities, countries and the world. The ability toimpact decisions and actions of any culture lay in the hands ofinfluential people. We are the commissioned people of influence, thesalt of the earth.


5/21



I ask myself this question, Are we trying to dosomething by and of ourselves? The answer is no,then if no is the answer, who are we working with? The answer is Jesus

Im going to be incorporating this section ofscripture for the next few weeks as we look atGods system. I am not going to focus on whatthis culture is doing in these areas but rather how

they have influenced the church and the comingspiritual revolution that we, the church, are goingto be a part of.


6/21



Are you expecting a change? The definition ofinsanityis to continue to do the same thing andexpect a different result.

Prayer + Fasting = Humility or Positioning Humility + Co-Laboring = Exaltation of the

Kingdom

As we continue to move forward I want you to

embrace this thought, If it matters to you, it matters to

Him.


7/21



Our opening text states some very obvious

things, joy, extravagant love, remaining fruit,

selection, and status..

The area of status

1. Servants dont know what their master is doing.

They are task oriented and obedience

minded

2. Jesus changes the status of the church in this

statement when He says that they are no longerservants but now friends


8/21



Friends are more concerned with disappointing

than they are about disobeying.

Friends move from what I do for Him to how is

what Im doing affecting Him

Friends create an environment for Gods love and

the passion of His heart moves and transforms

our heart.

Mary and Martha give us the paradigm through

which to view Gods heart.


9/21



Mary was simply learning how to serve from

His presence, instead of pleasing Him from her

service.

Mary wasnt lazy, serving from His presence

simply meant she was fixing the kind of

sandwich Jesus ordered.

Love will always accomplish more than

workers.


10/21



God has always been in the business of working with Hiscreation. He didnt have to create man, He did so becauseHe wanted a relationship with them. The two componentsof all relationships are time and communication.

God wants us to be involved in the demonstration of Hiswill.

Adam

Moses

Abraham

When Gods will has been revealed to us, He is expecting usto come into the counsel of His will..

John 16:23-24 (New King James Version)

23 And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most

assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in

My name He will give you.24

Until now you have askednothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that

your joy may be full..

I have found that I am asking for things in this systemto sustain me instead of asking for Him who is over and

under all that is in this system.

Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, then all the thingsI need to sustain my natural life will occur!!!

John 15:7-8 (New King James Version)

7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in

you, you will[a]

ask what you desire, and itshall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is

glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will

be My disciples.

Desire


14/21



Remember, If it matters to You, it matter toHim

Lets go back to last week and the new mindset of prayerthat we are embracing.

1 Kings 8:15-17 (New King James Version)

15 And he said: Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, whospoke with His mouth to my father David, and with Hishand has fulfilled it, saying, 16 Since the day that I broughtMy people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city fromany tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My namemight be there; but I chose David to be over My peopleIsrael. 17 Now it was in the heart of my father David to builda temple[a] for the name of the LORD God of Israel.


15/21



Listen to this,

God didnt choose a city, He chose a man, and

the idea for a temple was in the heart of aman.

God embraced the creativity and idea of David

because of Davids heart and passion for Him.

God said in those verses, The temple wasnt

my idea but David was my idea


16/21



You and I are Gods idea for changing this

world and the cultural behavior that has

brought them to shame.

De Sire Of Father

Translates to all desire has a father, it is my

concern that the father of lies has tried and

create the wrong desires in the hearts of Gods

covenant people.


17/21



1 Where do wars and fights come from among

you? Do theynot come from your desires for

pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust

and do not have. You murder and covet and

cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet[a] you do

not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask

and do not receive, because you ask amiss,that you may spend iton your pleasures.


18/21



4 Adulterers and[a] adulteresses! Do you not know thatfriendship with the world is enmity with God?Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the worldmakes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that

the Scripture says in vain, The Spirit who dwells in usyearns jealously?

Why use the marital terms if we are not in a covenantrelationship ?

Song ofSolomon 7:10 (King James Version)

10I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.


19/21



Psalm 37:4 (King James Version)

4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall

give thee the desires of thine heart.

Proverbs 18

1

Through desire a man, having separatedhimself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all

wisdom.


20/21



Proverbs 13:12 (King James Version)

12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but

when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. Proverbs 3:18 (King James Version)

18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold

upon her: and happy is every one thatretaineth her.


21/21



Genesis 3:6 (King James Version)

6And when the woman saw that the tree was

good for food, and that it was pleasant to the

eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, andgave also unto her husband with her; and he did

eat.

When our desires arent Gods desires, then oneof the major components of our purpose and

calling becomes tainted.. Wisdom.
