Power Relationships! II Kings 2:1-15 NKJV A WRONG CONNECTION CAN DELAY YOU IN REACHING YOUR GOD-GIVEN POTENTIAL, AND YOUR GOD-GIVEN DESTINY. GOD CHOOSES TO USE PEOPLE TO GET YOU TO YOUR NEXT PLACE. EVERYBODY CAN'T GO WITH YOU TO EVERY LEVEL THAT YOU ARE GOING TO. THE POWER RELATIONSHIPS THAT GOD BRINGS INTO YOUR LIFE ARE GOD'S BLESSING FOR TRANSITION. THE DORMANT POTENTIAL THAT IS IN YOU, CAN BE UNLOCKED, IF YOU GET AROUND THE RIGHT PERSON OF GOD. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE, WHO KNOW SOME THINGS THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW. NOBODY GETS AN ANOINTING WITHOUT GOING THROUGH SOME BATTLES. YOU HAVE TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO EQUALIZE AND MINIMIZE. IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, I CANNOT GET FROM….UNTIL, I HAVE FIRST, SOWN INTO. GILGAL: WHICH MEANS THE PLACE OF SACRIFICE. IT WAS THE PLACE WHERE THE FLESH WAS CUT. POWER RELATIONSHIPS, ARE THERE TO CUT YOUR FLESH. A POWER RELATIONSHIP, HAS A GOD-GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY TO GET YOU TO YOUR DESTINY! THE NEXT PLACE THAT THEY WENT WAS BETHEL. THE MEANING OF THE WORD BETHEL IS THE HOUSE OF GOD. IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, IT IS EXPANDED TO MEAN THE HOUSE OF PRAYER. PRAYER IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS THE POWER OF BRINGING EVERYTHING BACK INTO ITS PROPER PERSPECTIVE. PRAYER IS ALWAYS, ABOUT WHO GOD IS, RATHER THAN, ABOUT WHO YOU ARE!! JERICHO, MEANING WALLS OF PROTECTION. IT IS NOT THEIR DESTINY THAT IS AT STAKE, IT IS YOUR DESTINY THAT IS AT STAKE. YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S GONNA GET HURT, NOT THEM, IF YOU DON’T PROTECT IT. THE JORDAN RIVER IS A PLACE THAT REPRESENTS SEPARATION, DEFINITION, AND TRANSFERENCE. SEPARATION: YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOUR MOMENT OF DESTINY. THE TIME OF SEPARATION HELPS GOD TO BRING FOCUS INTO YOUR LIFE. IT HELPS TO BRING CLARITY IN YOUR HEART, AND IN YOUR MIND, SO THAT THE POWER RELATIONSHIP CAN BE DEFINED. THE QUESTION IS NEVER, HOW DO THEY VIEW IT? THE QUESTION IS ALWAYS, HOW DO YOU VIEW IT? IT WAS THE MOMENT OF DEFINITION. A MOMENT THAT DISTINCTLY AND CLEARLY DEFINES THE RELATONSHIP. AN IMAGE FORMED BY AN OPTICAL SYSTEM. TRANSFERENCE: YOU DO NOT GET FROM THAT PERSON GOD PUT IN YOUR LIFE, WHAT IS FOR YOU, UNTIL THEY-----GO UP! THE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU TONIGHT, IS THAT WHEN JESUS WENT UP, TRANSFERENCE TOOK PLACE TO YOU AND ME!
