Facilitation Questions

1) Did we ever feel that the Lord is demanding from us?

• What happened?
• How did you feel?
• How did you recover?

2) March 12th 2017 Sermon References

• Luke 10:38-42 (Mary & Martha) Mary drew from the Lord, as a result at the right time, she was the only one who prepared him for burial. Note that she was not present at the tomb, she believed that He would rise again. In order for us to be good servers, we must draw from Jesus. He would not let anyone take that away from Mary, neither will He let anyone take that away from you. From this drawing, out of the overflow, will be the grace and anointing to serve.  

• Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to have service rendered to Him, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for (instead of) many.

• Exodus 21:1-6 The law of the Servant

• Luke 9:51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, ( Jesus can go to heaven, His time was up. Like the servant in Exodus 21. Instead, He chose to go to Jerusalem for the final time )

• 1 Chronicles 17:10 ... Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a house.

3) What happens when you allow the Lord to serve you?

4) Knowing we have nothing to offer, we become the best servers when we receive from Him.

5) All of us are good receivers who allow the Lord to serve us!

The Anointing Within

John 14:26 New King James Version (NKJV)

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Its interesting to see the word Helper here is the Greek word parakletos. Which in different versions of the bible is translated Comforter, Helper, Advocate and Counselor. 

From the Amplified, Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby). The notes says Gr Paracletos, one called alongside to help.

Also from the Amplified, The Holy Spirit is sent by Abba in place of Jesus, to represent Jesus and act on Jesus' behalf. His role is to function as Jesus. SO, the Holy Spirit is with us as if Jesus is with us though not bodily.

The Holy Spirit teaches us ALL things and reminds us of all things that Jesus said to us.

This is our reality,

That the Holy Spirit our Helper, will teach us ALL things..

English, Chinese, Maths, Science, Arts, Relationships, Finances, Health, How to clear a toilet, etc etc...

AND at any time, He will bring to our remembrance all things that He has taught us before...

SO, whenever we need help, at work, during our exams, our Helper will remind us all of the things we learnt before.

Praise the Lord, He lives in me.
