The Unfolding Relationship With The Lord

SUMMARY:

Finding and accepting the Lord is not a one-time experience. There can be so much more than the salvation experience. Believe that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him and tell Him you want to know Him. Submitting your life to the Lord can be a turning point.

SHOW NOTES:

• 
  

  Developing a relationship with the Lord is an unfolding experience.

  
  

• 
  

  A person must empty out to life on one level in order to open up to life on a new level.

  
  

• 
  

  Many believers have a mental acceptance of Jesus Christ, but in order to get out of the reasoning process, they must enter into a flow of revelation.

  
  

• 
  

  The growth and development of a believer who is hungry for a walk with God, must come to a point of giving his focus to know Him.

  
  

• 
  

  He is your creator. He wants to know what is in your heart, what is in your mind. Talk to Him.

  
  

QUOTATIONS:

• 
  

  If you want to walk with God, “you must take up your cross daily and follow Me.” So there's a dying out to self that's required in your coming into the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

  
  

• 
  

  I think another key to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the beginning of it anyway, is revelation. You must have a revelation of the Lord.

  
  

• 
  

  The Lordship of Jesus Christ is not a one-time experience. It's a beginning.

  
  


• 
  

  It goes from experience to experience where we realize how deep Christ being our Lord really is.

  
  

• 
  

  Every experience in God is expandable.

  
  

• 
  

  The Lordship of Jesus Christ will be there to inhabit those that cry out to Him.

  
  

• 
  

  A lot of our time that we spend before the Lord, He wants you to open up to Him, to talk to Him.

TAKE AWAY:

The Lordship of Jesus Christ is a growing process of one who is submitting his will to the will of the Father. Discovering that will comes in the interaction of a believer with the One he accepts as his head, Jesus Christ. This is not simply an individual experience, but it contributes to the bigger goal of manifesting Christ as Lord over the whole earth.
