PRESS IN and PRESS ON

POST MOUNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCE

Questions : 1. How can we live beyond the

daily grind? 2. How can I press in and press

on with God ?

PRESS IN and PRESS ON

1. Know God

The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate, gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin

Exodus 34:6-7

God describes Himself

But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, the LORD has forgotten me”. Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion the child she has borne ?

Though she may forget , I WILL NOT FORGET YOU. See, I have engraved you in the palms of my hands ;

Isa 49:14-16 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD

will receive me. Psalms 27:10

For those whom He foreknew, He predestined to be conformed to the likeness of the Son, … those He

predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified; He also glorified.

Romans 8:28 -30

PRESS IN and PRESS ON

2. A heart like Caleb’s

• Caleb, a leader of Judah • Man with a

different spirit • Followed God

whole-heartedly • Allegiance to God.

(Num 14; Deut 1:36; Joshua 14)

Now then, just as the LORDpromised, He has kept me alive for 45 years since the time He said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the desert. So I am here today, 85 years old ! I am still as strong today as the day Moses send me out; I’m just a vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then.

Joshua 14:10-11

PRESS IN and PRESS ON

3. Hunger/Thirst & Obedience

God sends no oneaway empty exceptthose who are fullof themselves- Dwight L Moody

“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.

Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live.I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. Isaiah 55:1-3

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.Revelation 22:17

Consider carefully, what you hear, He continued.With the measure you use, it will be measured toyou – and even more.Whoever has will be given more; whoever does nothave, even what he has will be taken from him.Mark 4:24-25

Matt 7:24 Everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice …..

Luke 6:46 Why do you call me Lord, Lord and not do what I tell you ?

The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders (Mat 7:24-27/Luke 6:47-49)
