BIG IDEA: God wants you to build Him a house IN YOUR HEART

- Take responsibility to build something
- Expect a divine encounter
- Embrace personal transformation

- Engage the MIND
- Engage the HEART
- Engage the SOUL

BIG IDEA: YOU CAN BE PHYSICALLY CAPTIVE, YET SPIRITUALLY FREE
- WE NEED TO KNOW HIM
- WE NEED TO KNOW HIS HOPE
- WE NEED TO KNOW HIS RICHES
- WE NEED TO KNOW HIS POWER

- "YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID, 'EYE FOR EYE, AND TOOTH FOR TOOTH" MATTHEW 5:38
- BUT I TELL YOU, DO NOT RESIST AN EVIL PERSON. IF ANYONE SLAPS YOU ON THE RIGHT CHEEK, TURN TO THEM THE OTHER CHEEK ALSO. MATTHEW 5:39
- AND IF ANYONE WANTS TO SUE YOU AND TAKE YOUR HEART, HAND OVER YOUR COAT AS WELL. MATTHEW 5:40
- IF ANYONE FORCES YOU TO GO ONE MILE, GO WITH THEM TWO MILES. MATTHEW 5:41
- GIVE TO THE ONE WHO ASKS YOU, AND DO NOT TURN AWAY FROM THE ONE WHO WANTS TO BORROW FROM YOU. MATTHEW 5:42

- DIVINE VICTORY REQUIRES DIVINE AUTHORITY
- MY ACTION: BE CLOTHED WITH GOD'S POWER
- POWERFUL TESTIMONY TYPICALLY COMES WITH PERSONAL SCARS
- MY ACTION: ENDURE PAIN WITH PERSEVERANCE
- THE PATH TO THE PODIUM CAN BE VERY PUZZLING
- MY ACTION: TRUST GOD AND HIS PROCESS

- We need to govern the HARDENED heart
- We need to govern the BROKEN heart
- We need to govern the IMPURE heart
