NOTES TO SELF

Mike and I had the opportunity to go to The Voice of the Apostles conference which is held for three days in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It was an awesome time of refreshing and worship, and a much needed time of learning God's Word in a new and profound way. Here are some of the notes that I took during Bill Johnson's workshop:

1. The Bible doesn't tell us to humble our brother, it tells us to humble ourselves.
2. We, as the body of Christ, have been given and called to the ministry of reconciliation; which means that we don't count their sins against them. By them, I mean other people.
3. We can stand in the place of intercession for those who because of sin, judgement is their portion.
4. Jesus came to show us what one right man can do when He is in the perfect will of God.
5. We are to prophesy according to our faith, while re-defining the nature of God's goodness to the world.
6. There has to be action that is equal to words when giving a presentation of the gospel.
7. Satan undermines revival by poisoning the minds of people.
8. The pathway to idolatry is fear - Israel turned to Baal because Baal promised prosperity.
9. We cannot use human tools to bring about supernatural manifestations.
10. We cannot win the world through a debate on religion, there must be a declaration of power.
11. The questions you have, have no power unless you empower them.
12. Not every battle is worth fighting, some battles are just distractions.
13. If we constantly defend ourselves against others, we may not have the energy left that we need to fight the battle that really matter.
14. Proving to others that we are important is one of those distractions.
15. Do not engage in a fight that is not important to your God-given destiny.
16. I do not need anyone else's approval to be the person God created me to be.
17. Speaking boldly in the LORD bears witness to the signs and wonders of God.
18. The Kingdom of God is within us.
19. Acts 14:1-4, signs, wonders, and miracles of God
20. 1 Samuel chapter 14 , shows us The Effect of Courage
