Who's on First?

Who is really in charge of your life? To act outside of Jesus' lordship is a sin. 

Even after we surrender the lordship of our lives to Jesus, we continue to struggle with Him over the control of our lives.

We must be sure that Jesus remains Lord. Jesus willingly came to earth. 

We too must want to obey. 

Remember that forced obedience is disobedience. 

Is Jesus your Lord, really? 

That one decision settles the possessions issue.

If Jesus is Lord, He is Lord of your stuff. 

How can we ask God for provision when we disobey Him by stealing from Him. Ask what do you want done with your stuff, Lord? 

Whoever or whatever is #1 in your life is your Lord. 

Whoever is #1 determines where you go, what you read, and what you look at.

It settles the provision issue. God does not give us what we need from our prospective, but from His. 

God stretches past our comfort zone into the unknown to reach people.

We are not to focus on our provision but on our mission.

Sometimes we confuse God's will with our will.

Asking for things outside of God's plan will harm our faith when God refuses to answer.

God's will can only be discerned by what God has said in His Word and the Holy Spirit.
