BORN4This – Week 1
Welcome to our new series at igniteYOUTH - the BORN4THIS series.
In this series you will learn that you were born to walk out of your door each morning expecting God to use you to deliver a miracle. You were born to be a delivery agent for God by delivering miracles for Him every day of the week!
What if you missed a miracle yesterday? A miracle that Heaven wanted to do through you to significantly change someone’s life for the better – maybe even your own life? How would it make you feel – turn to someone next to you and share in 10 seconds how you would feel is that happened?
Where do you live most of your life?
Natural…Naturally-Supernatural…Supernatural Some people are just natural (they do good deeds, but don't need God's help as they are just doing good as they feel like it); some people are all Supernatural (it seems like they are always experiencing miracles, are never sick and make other people feel less than real Christian) while other's live Naturally-Supernatural (they take the best of both worlds and go about delivering miracles for God in a natural way).
God wants you to live in the Land of Everyday Miracles – where I regularly deliver miracles to meet people’s needs so that God can enter their lives.
You must be thinking – what is a miracle? A miracle is when I act on God’s nudge to meet a need in someone’s life. Give some examples.
Last week we completed our Bringing Heaven To Earth Series. We learnt that heaven is not just a place that we are going to when we die, nor is it just a place in which worship takes place 24 hours of every day.
If you read Isaiah 6:1-8 you will discover that God is actively involved in what is going on down here on earth and he is looking for volunteers to help change things. He wants to use us to bring miracles to people.
There are seven keys to delivering miracles for God! (1) The Master Key; (2) The People Key; (3) The Spirit Key; (4) The Risk Key; (5) The Money Key; (6) The Dream Key; and (7) The Forgiveness Key. When you deliver a miracle there is so much going on – you are dealing with a person, you have to take a risk, you need to know whether or not to give something to someone, what part does the Holy Spirit play, etc.
This week we are just looking at the first key: The Master Key. How do we partner with God to deliver miracles? We must use the Master Key. The first key is to ask with all your heart to be sent on a mission to deliver God’s miracles. You have to enter the throne room of heaven and ask to be sent on an assignment to deliver a miracle. When we ask this, God matches us up with people that we can help.
How do we ask to be sent on a mission to deliver miracles? 1. Enter the throne room of heaven - Picture yourself walking into the throne room where God the Father sits with Jesus at His right hand – see it as an actual event taking place in heaven.
2. Volunteer to be Sent - as a delivery agent - Tell God that you are available to be used by Him and that you want him to choose you!
3. Commit to Act - when you are nudged by God - Say something like: “As you lead, I will respond!” Let God know that when he leads you will respond. Decide in advance to act!
4. Expect to be used by God to deliver miracles. You will experience fear so exercise faith by committing to God. Say something like: “I trust you to deliver the miracle through me. Thank you that I can fully depend on you.”
Activation: Guided journey into the throne room – lead youth through a journey in their minds into the throne room and walk them through the four steps.
Leave the throne room joyfully as someone who has been sent by God on a mission!
