John 15:8
– How do I “remain in His love”?
– What does that even mean?
We don’t want you to pray any less next week than you do this week in a fast. So how can we keep this thing going? What does this even look like?
John 15:10-11
– Can we assume that a loving Father knows more than his kids?
– If so, can we trust the Father to do/direct what’s right?
Our joy is filled to the degree that we obey God.
- If you’re praying, fasting and reading Scripture, God is going to begin speaking to you.
- The question isn’t if God is going to speak to me.
- The question is what I will do, when He does!
Matthew 28:18-20

JOHN 15:26
ILLO: If I’m a toaster, Jesus is the adapter, God is the outlet, the Holy Spirit is the electricity which makes it all possible. He’s the Power that fuels the toasting of bread.
- But I still don’t have until I put bread in, turn the knob, and push the button down.
Philippians 2:12-13
“The proof of my salvation is my obedience to God.
John 16:5-8
The Holy Spirit prompts me to…
- Repent of sin
- Forgive others
- Leverage more of my life for God’s purposes
- Talk to my friends about my faith
- Love unlovely people
- He’s going to turn up the heat in areas of my life that may be a bit uncomfortable. But, like a toaster, I’m made for that kind of heat and without it, there’s no toast.
Ephesians 1:16-20
