Whats Next?

Gratitude is a posture of humility.

Expectation is an expression of faith

Luke 14:28 ESV

28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?

Faith = the expectation though not yet seen… (Desire) Prophetic

Count the cost – Wisdom

There is a faith in casting vision. There is Wisdom in walking it out.

We may not see all of our desires come to pass. But that does not stop us from imagining with God!

We may just be imagining for the next generation!

Desire and Walk Out (Given)

Whatever platform necessary to see people transformed by Jesus

We will stop only of sin to see people transformed by Jesus

Desire (Prophetic)

Desire the heart of the Father….

Speaking the Word of God is prophetic…

God only speaks prophetically…

Any time we use His words we are speaking prophetically…

1 Cor 14:3 (NKJV)

But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

1 Timothy 4:13

Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.

Edify (Coach)

2 Timothy 3:16, NLT: “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.”

Exhort (Cheerleader)

Hebrews 10:24

and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,

Encourage/Comfort (Water Table)

Hebrews 3:13

But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
