Church notes 5/17/2020 Elevation church

Isaiah 4:1+2
In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, "we will eat our own food and provide our own clothes; only let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!"
In that day the branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel.

FLEX SPACE

God is using the shut down to show off..
Do you see Him?
Do you hear Him?

Bade news is a setup for a blessing.

when we say "God make a way"
we don't get to define the way He makes it- Steven Furtick

leave a space open to be flexible for growth.
if you don't have space to grow, you need to get rid of whoever'd taking up the flex space.

excuses keep us from expanding.
Psalm 22:3
Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Isreal praises.

God lives where praise does.
Just because you don't sing well doesn't mean God can't use you.
If you believe that, you've been listening to the wrong voices.

Captivity is an opportunity.
Being stuck where we are is a blessing.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

It may take our entire lives for us to make sense of things, but it's not wasted.
Philipians 1:20
I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

You need to expand you expectations to include what you did not plan for.

Old song- the name of the Lord is
a strong tower
the righteous run into it
and they are saved.

Hail hail Lion of Judah
how powerful you are
glory glory to the Lamb
You take me into the land
we will conquer in your name
and proclaim that Jesus rains!
