Joshua 1:8
Psalm 1:1-3
1 Corinthians 15:57

Pastor George asked us: What else does God have to do to prove that he's real?

Over the past 6 years, God has been doing something in us to bring us to that appointed place in Him. The promises of God are "Yea" and "Amen". They are absolute, guaranteed and cannot fail. Everything God has promised can come to fruition in our lives.

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" - Numbers 23:19

Too many of us come and go to church, yet are living beneath our privilege. Victory is ours if we want it. If we want to experience that ever expanding realm of abundant power, glory and provision, it's ours if we want it.

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us..." - Ephesians 3:20

Satan wants us to feel defeated. Do you want to be a Next Dimension dweller? Well, talk is cheap. The telltale sign of what we truly want is seen in our daily choices! We either live God's way or our way... put God first or ourselves first. There are no shades of grey when it relates to who comes first in our lives. Any talk about wanting to experience God's best, but still putting ourselves first, is just cheap double talk. How do we live at home and at work? How do we treat others throughout the day?

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" - Joshua 24:15

Honor God and He will honor you. If we dishonor God, we allow ourselves to be cursed as Adam and Eve were. We need to get out of our comfort zone and into the Kingdom Zone! Honor God and worship Him with your life.

Those who are faithful in little, are faithful in much. Be a good steward over what God has blessed you with.

To be a good steward, you must:

• Show God that He's first. Tithe off the top!
• Budget some money to spend on yourself.
• Pay your bills.
• Open a savings account and invest.

In closing, Pastor George gave us a list of ways to walk in Victory with God:

• Accept and believe in God's Word.
• Meditate on God's Word day and night.
• Obey the Word
• Speak the Word, it's your sword!
