The More Than Enough God

The word thank you is God's password into God's presence(MSG).

Psalm 100 (NIRV)

Give thanks as you enter the gates of his temple.

    Give praise as you enter its courtyards.


    Give thanks to him and praise his name.
 

If God walked up to you and said "where do you need my help?"  

What would you say?

2 Corinthians 9:8-11 The Message (MSG)

8-11 God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. 

As one psalmist puts it,
He throws caution to the winds,
    giving to the needy in reckless abandon.


His right-living, right-giving ways
    never run out, never wear out.


This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you.

He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God.  

God uses our prayers to do His work in other people's lives.  

The Holy Spirit asks "why don't you ask me for more?"  

You don't ask me for enough.  

We know that God is a God of miracles.  He gives us more on this side of heaven or the next.  

Pray for more for other people.  

More power.  

More presence. 

(2 Kings 13:14-19) 

Ephesians 3:20 (MSG)

20 God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!

He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.  

Lord, thank you so much for removing our shame and making us free in Jesus Christ.  

You knew our story, but you saved us anyway.  

You heal us.  

You keep pouring your goodness upon us.  

We love you and give you praise.  

There is a part of praying which is fighting. 

ARC is launching 21 churches tomorrow.

Columbus, Ohio, Garland, Texas, Humble, Texas, New York City, Jacksonville, Florida, Napa, Idaho, Brentwood, Tennessee,  Greenville, South Carolina, Kansas City, and more. 

We ask for favor.  

No issues.  

Protection.  

The marriages of the Pastors.  

Their families.  

That their legacy of ministry will continue.   

We are giving for the storm impacted areas.  

Weather does not beat Jesus.  

Jesus beats the storms every time.  

Lord, put the local churches on display. 

Bless the teams from Highlands who are going to help. 

May we carry the name of Jesus in every situation that we're in.

God we jump into another Sunday.  

It will be a day where lives get changed.  

Whole families.  

Help everyone who participates with us in helping people.  

Depression will not rule the day. 

Jesus, you will rule the day.  

Use our words that are spoken throughout be anointed by, you, Jesus.

We want more people.  

More services.  

More people in the services.  

More of your presence.  

Send us hurting people.  

Please give them the grace that you gave us.  

Help us to see their potential.   

We can never go too far to out run the love of Jesus.  

You've given everyone of us the potential and influence to reach people.  

You want us to have more presence.  

More freedom.  

More Purpose.  

To make a difference.  

Father, thank you that you are the God of more.  

Not how we've asked it.  

But you are the God of more who answers beyond what we ask or think.  

We believe the name of Jesus is right and true and we make this request to you Father in Jesus name.
