Religion & Spirituality
Welcome to Episode #89 of the Red Ink Revival Leadership Podcast. Today’s episode is a message by Patrick from a series called Activation. Jesus and the first century leaders spoke often of the transformational power of Activation. What does that mean? When a person simply takes wholistic action upon God’s Word and promises with trust, emotion, and expectancy, a supernatural reaction takes place that leaves the person changed. For many Christians there is a wait and see relationship with God’s promises. But when we choose, rearrange our lives, surrender our hearts and souls, and act upon God’s Word, it will take us from a dead, theoretic religion into a vibrant, energized relationship. The Activation series will help you grasp the vast differences between just reading the Bible as an academic book versus implementing the nuances as a world-changing child of God. This episode takes us into the following: * The Bible was never intended to be an empty caricature of God. * The Word of God is filled with God’s nature, substance, wisdom, and power. * The Word of God is to change every sphere of life. * God intends that His Word will bring radical transformation in a human life. * God never speaks of humans becoming flawless but rather maturing in transformation. * Surrender refers to activations of faith in God’s Word. * Emotional regulation and satisfaction towards happiness has to do with the state of your heart. * Pride is lacking tenderness in surrender to God’s thoughts, ways, and standards. * When obedience costs you something it is experienced by God as worship. * The stages of surrender: watching, considering, repenting, reorganizing. * If you don’t like your life, check your surrender. * Patrick’s story of a lifetime of surrender experiences. * Inner newness of life doesn’t happen in memorizing a new Scripture; it happens in surrenders given in each stage of life. * Great faith to speak to mountains requires a growth-pattern of great surrender even in the smallest areas of life. * Identifying the fears that prevent you from surrendering to all of God’s ways. ▷ Visit our Red Ink Revival website: https://redinkrevival.com https://www.redinkrevival.com/blog/categories/podcast ▷ Connect with Patrick on social media: FB: https://www.facebook.com/redinkrevival FB: https://www.facebook.com/patricknorris IG: https://www.instagram.com/redinkrevival/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/norris.patrick/ LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-norris-4b733412/ ▷ Subscribe to the podcast, then rate, review, and share it!
