Summary
Have you noticed that life’s greatest disappointments come after your greatest anticipation? They’re proportional. In this program, Theresa Ingram shares one of the greatest disappointments in her life - and then, the REST of the story. Don’t miss it!
Main Points
Learning how to experience God's love by "opening the window of our soul"
Closed window: Sin in my life and disobedience to God’s Word keeps me from experiencing God’s love.
Open window: I will live righteously because God’s love is perfected in lives that are pure.
Steps to take:
- Make confession a part of your daily life; keep short accounts.
- Spend time in God’s Word on a regular basis (5-7 days per week).
Closed window: A believer’s learned way of thinking about themselves (self-talk) can keep them from experiencing God’s love.
Open window: I will fill my mind with God’s truth to overcome the negative beliefs I have learned. I will cling to His promises for my life.
Steps to take:
- Evaluate your own thinking patters against Philippians 4:8. Does your self-talk align with God’s truth about you?
- Begin the process of replacing those lies with God’s truth (fix your mind on what is true and honorable and right).
Closed window: A believer who is building the foundation of their life on worldly, temporal things instead of on God’s foundation and eternal things will have a hard time experiencing God’s love.
Open Window: I will surrender my life (all that I am and all that I have) to my Father in Heaven (the only One who is able and willing to give me all things to enjoy).
Steps to take:
- Build the foundation of your life on God’s Word.
- Seek His will in everything you do.
- Choose by faith to surrender (sign over) every part of your life to God each day.
Closed window: A believer who listens to Satan’s lies and accusations about God’s Word and God’s character will miss the signs of God’s love.
Open window: I will pray specifically against the accusations of Satan and refuse to believe his lies. I will ask God to increase my knowledge and awareness of His love for me.
Steps to take:
- Stand firm against Satan’s lies!
- For every doubt, pray a prayer!
