Sermon Notes
When you fast, pray, and worship, you are sowing today for what you want to see God do tomorrow. Seed the clouds for future generations.
Key Scriptures:
I Kings 18:41-46; Zechariah 4:10; Zechariah 14:17
Key Points:
- Check again. Even if nothing seems to be happening, it doesn’t mean something isn’t going on behind the scenes. Keep checking again and again until you see the miracle.
- God’s Word is your daily bread. If you only read three chapters of the Bible a day, you will read 92% of the Bible in a year. God is sending you letters every day through His Word; read them! Seed your heart with the Word of God and then open your mouth and make prophetic declarations concerning your year. If you sow seeds into the clouds, the cloud will grow!
- Make a prophetic declaration. When you make a prophetic declaration from God, other people will accuse you of being crazy. But if you can do it on your own, it’s not a dream God can get involved in.
- Get a vision. Don’t let your age stop you from dreaming. What you’re doing while you’re praying and fasting will go to the third and fourth generations after you.
- You are a living epistle. Your testimony is someone else’s prophecy. You are where you are because someone else seeded the cloud for you. The more you worship, the more God’s rain will fall upon you, your children, and your children’s children.
- Seedbeds are being sown. Every move you make, and every risk you take, is setting the stage for someone in your family to take the same steps of faith you are taking. No matter how small it seems to be, little is much in the hands of God. People tend to think about here and now, but God thinks about nations and generations ahead.
Final Thoughts:
You are not wasting time when you pray and fast. You are seeding clouds for future generations. What kind of seeds are you putting in the clouds over your family?
