You ever feel like serving costs more than it's worth? Like obedience is inconvenient… and forgiveness feels unfair? This message from Pastor Derek flips all that upside down. Because in the Kingdom of God, the path forward is found in going low. ✔️ Serve even when it's hard ✔️ Forgive even when it's undeserved ✔️ Obey even when it's inconvenient Jesus didn't come to be served—He came to serve. And if He did it, we can too. This week, choose the posture that unlocks reconciliation, faith, and purpose. Just do it.
The next essentials in decision making are learning how to listen to God's voice. It is easy for us to pick up this block and run with it to decide what we are going to do. However, that could lead to some foolish decisions. This block - Prayer and Prompting - Listening to God's voice - comes last because we want to make sure that it is built on the foundation of God's general will and searching out his specific will in our current decision.

To be a channel of God's Spirit bringing Heaven to earth, we must (1) COME to God and honour Him with praise, thanksgiving and worship (Matt 6:9), then (2) RECEIVE His Spirit and words into our heart by faith (John 7:37), then (3) RELEASE His Spirit from our heart into the earth by our WORDS of faith (Matthew 6:10, 12:34-35, John 7:38). After (1) coming to God, (2) we believe we receive the promised blessing into our heart, and then (3) we release it into the earth by confessing it with our mouth unto salvation - the manifestation of the promise (Romans 10:10). After (1) submitting to God and (2) receiving His words, (3) we can speak His words from a place of authority, causing His Kingdom to come into the earth, and forcing the enemy to flee from us (James 4:7), thus bringing His will to pass.

We are to pray God's Kingdom (righteousness, love, joy, peace, life in the Holy Spirit - Ro 14:17) to come from Heaven to earth. So we are a Channel between Heaven and earth, connected to God in our spirit and to the earth in our flesh, through which His Spirit flows to bring His Kingdom into the earth as we pray.

This illustrated message describes Jesus' Prayer at Gethsemane ('Oil Press'). This place was chosen to give a picture of what He suffered & accomplished here by submitting to God's will. Just as in this Cave in a Garden, olives were pressed 3 times to release their oil, so Jesus was pressed 3 times to release the Oil of the Spirit to us.

We primarily express our will (authority) through the words we choose to speak. As a Pilot establishes a ship's course by controlling its rudder, so we establish the direction of our lives by our tongue (James 3:4). We bring our lives into submission to Jesus our Captain by (1) saying: "Your will be done", and (2) aligning our words to His revealed will (Word).

The Prayer of Dedication: "Your will be done" is essential to receiving Guidance from God. Derek & Hilary share 8 Principles of Guidance: Realise (1) if you trust in yourself you will mess up, (2) God has a good plan (perfect will) for your life, (3) He is guiding you, (4) as a child of God, you can hear His voice. (5) Do God's revealed will diligently. (6) You must WANT God's will. (7) Pray for Guidance. (8) For big decisions take special time out to seek God.

What we dedicate to God, He will consecrate (possess with His Spirit). There are 2 kinds of Prayer of Dedication: (1) When God's will is known, we pray: "let be unto me according to your word" (Luke 1:34-38), and (2) when His will is unknown, as we pray: "Your will be done", His Spirit aligns our thoughts and desires to His will.

The Purpose of Prayer is not to establish our will, but to release God's power and blessing, so His will is done on earth as in Heaven. This starts by our submission to His authority: "Thine be (1) the Kingdom (authority), (2) the Power (in the Holy Spirit), and (3) the Glory (the manifestation of the power in answered prayer)" (Matthew 6:13).

When we come into God's Presence with praise and thanksgiving, we meet His authority, requiring us to bow (submit) our will to God, praying: “Your Kingdom come. Your will be done.” This positions us to receive His grace for ourselves, and to be a channel of His grace to others through our prayers (Romans 14:17).

Jesus teaches us to pray, "Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." I. We pray for God's will to be accomplished. II. We pray for God to make us able and willing to obey his will in all things. III. We pray for God to make us able and willing to submit to his will in all things.
Jesus teaches us to pray, "Your Kingdom Come." What are we praying for? I. We pray that Satan’s kingdom may be destroyed. II. We pray that the kingdom of grace may be advanced. III. We pray that ourselves and others are brought into it, and kept in it. IV. We pray that the kingdom of glory may be hastened.
6.23.19Luke 13:20-21Matthew 6:10Whenever God has transformed a community He’s always caused a people to rise up and invade the places their lives touch with His hope and love much like yeast does to dough. As Jesus invaded the world with hope and love we are to invade our world with that same hope and love. The message of Jesus' love and hope is to not be localized and limited to church buildings or Sundays. It should and must be in every nook and cranny, every street and home, every child and adult, every business and school, every level of society, every place where life touches. Dream and pray about, think of ways to bring the Kingdom to the places your life touches. Use what you normally do, like eating, shopping, playing, living and invade those places with the love, hope, joy, forgiveness, peace, and grace of Jesus.

We are all called to the Ministry of Intercession. Christ ever lives to make Intercession (Hebr 7:25), to release the blessings that He procured for us by His intercession for us on the Cross. As His Body we share in His present priestly ministry. He needs us to do this for He has given us authority in the earth.

Matthew 6:10 If you could have anything in this world, what would it be? If you could change one thing in this world, what would you change? For most of us when we think about these things we have some ideas that immediately come to our minds. We all have things we want. But this morning Jesus teaches us that the best thing for us is to recognize that what God wants for us is better than what we want for ourselves. This morning we learn to pray, "Your Will be Done."Support the show (https://pushpay.com/g/hillsidechgr?src=hpp)

Prayer expresses our hearts: are we the subject or the subjects? Who do we live to please?
The dictionary defines citizenship as: The character of an individual viewed as a member of society; behavior in terms of the duties, obligations, and functions of a citizen. In brother Abel's message he reminds the body of our citizenship status in the Heavenly Kingdom. When we walk down the street strangers should want to stop in their tracks and ask us what's different in our actions and demeanor because we live our lives according to God's word. Own your citizenship friends, guard it with your life because the Kingdom of Heaven will be established here on earth as it us in Heaven; will your citizenship status be up to date when that time comes?
