Full Disclosure Soulhouse October 19th

The new series has begun and there was a great atmosphere to launch it. The real question that we always need to ask ourselves after an evening like that is what do we remember? These memories fade quickly and dim to seeming bland with surprising speed.

Remember:
What you see is not all there is.
You are not alone in your battles.
Your prayers are far more powerful than you know.
We do not fight for victory, we fight from victory.
1 John 4:4

When you feel separate from God remember to reconnect. 1 John 1:9....go look it up and memorize. This is one of the keys, one of the secret weapons for living the life.

Here is a real nice tie in from the new song we learned last night (Desert Song):


Verse 1:
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

Verse 2:
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

Chorus:
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

Verse 3:
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

Bridge:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship


Verse 4:
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow


Isaiah 54:17 (New International Version) (I forgot this one in the email, sorry)

17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,

Verses referenced by the song. Truth statements that are good to have in your head.

Romans 8:17 (New International Version)

17Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Romans 8:28 (New International Version)

More Than Conquerors

28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:37 (New International Version)

37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Go ahead read all of Romans 8, it won't hurt a bit.

That is the start of SuperNatural. More to come.

Question...What about scary movies? Entertainment or being exposed to spiritual bad stuff?

Good questions. Each of those ideas is hit on in part week by week but there is a definite emphasis "bad spiritual stuff" as you say in week three: Satan and His Demons. That will be Sunday November 2nd. My short answer I think is to say:"Don't flirt with darkness."

Halloween - is that flirting? or just dressing up, candy and pumpkins?
