The power of a paradigm - Being a line-crosser
SERMON NOTES
mk 4:35
paradigm = the way you are USED TO doing something or the way you are USED to think.
if we are not careful, past successes can blind us from greater successes in the future.
update your paradigm; dont be afraid to move with God into new spiritual paradigms.
dont be a boring person! especially when you are NOT serving a boring God!
the poorest person is one without a dream.
dare to CROSSOVER to something NEWER and GREATER!
dare to be a line-crosser
dare to cross mental, cultural, traditional and spiritual barriers and do something with your life!
God is the God of NEW THINGS! God is always on the move! Dont lag too far behind. "Im behind you all the way!" "Yea! You're so far behind that I can no longer see you!"
e.g. moving in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, contemporary praise and worship, miracles signs and wonders, etc...People are more likely to hear a rich and relevant man tell a lie, than a poor and boring person tell the truth!
conformity is the shortest route to acceptance in the crowd.
dont live on the shallow end all the time, where its safe, where theres low-risk, where you are comfortable, where its predictable and boring!
stop dreaming of an exciting life when all you do is to stay at the shallow end.
crossover! step out! launch into the deep end. where life is exciting! its a whole new world out there, and things are always better on the other side! you will never know until you crossover!
Heb 11:8
1) Cross the line of the UNKNOWN
if you dont dare to try the ridiculous, you'll never experience the miraculous!
in the realm of the unknown, you'll learn to trust God.
life can be predictable and thus, boring! dont live a live of regrets...achieve great things for God!
2) Cross the line of COMFORT
-Heb 11:9, 12:2
Sacrifice your comfortable life to do what God wants you to do.
But before you can do that, you'll have to be able to see (have a vision) of something greater than your own life.
3) Cross the line of the IMPOSSIBLE
-Heb 11:11-12, 6
God delights in impossiblity.
If the things you do are not a big deal, why bother to do it!?!
Your life is boxed, the moment your mind is boxed.
Dont put the Holy Spirit in a box! Faith puts no limit on God and God puts no limit on faith.
a line crosser does what people say is impossible!
4) Cross the line of POSITIVE APPREHENSION
-est 4:14, 16, Heb 11:13
dont wait around for positive affirmation, just step out and do what God tells you is right!
there is no success without sacrifice.
death waits for no one...NO! Success waits for someone...=)
Just step out, just do it! Just obey and follow your God-given dream!
Like Esther, if you fail, you fail. At least you tried something big in your life!
When you present all your academic certs to your future employer....the first thing/impression they get will not be your As or zero Fs...but the first impression will be given when he sees a HUGE and THICK stack of certs!
Better to have your book of life filled with entires, than empty with one or 2 As or 'well done's.
Not that you should fail as much as you can, but at least you tried!
Its better to having tried and failed, than having failed to try!
5) Cross the line of the PULL of the world
heb 11:15-16
the moment you put one leg across the line and attempt to cross e line and do something great, people will bound to pull you back.
they will say, 'dont waste your time', 'ure too young/old', 'what if u fail', 'are u sure u wanna do it?', 'come on, face life man', etc.. -> PS: ppl who pull u back are not your friends anyway.
your faith will make their fears obvious, your strength reveals their weaknesses, etc.
the more you cross over, the weaker the pull of the world is.
-gal 6:9
you become a blessing when you cross the line, dont just talk the talk, WALK the WALK!
dont just dream about your future, MAKE IT!
THOUGHTS
im so excited. today's service was great...i was in tears during praise and worship. the presence of God was so tangible and strong. heard so many healing testimonies from our mission team. indeed God is opening up Asia like never before, and God is showing Himself strong in the end-times! PTL!!! =)
some people think e presence of God is the knowing that God is there...NO!!! its something tangible, something you can feel with your natural senses! if ure not experiencing God in a tangible way, or having encounters or if you dont sense/hear God speaking to you, something is wrong....
thats why we need e Holy Spirit in our lives. With God, ALL things are possible. He can help us do what we cannot do =) im so excited, indeed we ARE crossing over! im so grateful. we have done so many things which man said was impossible. thats wad being a line-crosser is all about! ;) and i believe we are gonna cross an even greater line...an Iconic Stadium, 10-000 seater, a landmark on the world map...in e marketplace, for e marketplace, to penetrate e marketplace!
God has spoken to ps kong and it will come to pass :)) jus keep praying, keep believing, and keep doing! people who never receive breakthrough are people who lose heart. your breakthroughs end the moment your faith ends. the size of your accomplishments is determined by the size of your dream and of the capacity of your actions based on faith! without faith it is impossible to please God. ;) finally, wordpower was tested 2pm today at expo. queued so EARLY! LOL!
