Priscilla Shirer Simulcast - Notes


I attended a Priscilla Shirer Simulcast, April 6, 2019, at the Corinthian Church in Fairbanks, AK.
Here are my notes from the simulcast.  

  • God created the universe so why do we worry - He’s got us in the palm of His hand. 
  • God is preparing us for our future.  He reminds me who I am (daughter of the King), no matter what labels I live under.
  • PRAYER is the key to unleash heaven on earth.
    • The impossible is where God starts. 
    • Expect the unexpected 
      • Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ASK or THINK according to the power that works in us - TO HIM BE GLORY in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen  Eph 3:20-21
    • (Ask God to preserve that teenager so satan cannot touch them…continue in prayer. )
    • There’s no other hope I know
  • Going Beyond - John 15
    • ABIDE in the vine (Jesus)….
      • Align, hang out with, enjoy the company of, stay, remain, be immersed in. 
        • Don’t be a dipper (tea bag). Strength comes with remaining (leave tea bag in cup). 🙂 
      • We can’t shortcut this principle of abiding. 
  • Before going to the garden of Gethsemane (sorrow & death, bad times), Jesus took his disciples through a vineyard (grapes a place of prosperity and good times).
    • Grapes don’t grow in Gethsemane
    • When in Gethsemane it aligns us to God.
    • When times are good (enjoy the grapes NOW).  Learn how to see God’s fingerprints in your life.
    • Life can be  hard - Life happens
    • We’re either in the storm, going into the storm or coming out of the storm.
      • Choose to remain in the vine - stay focused.  “I am the vine, you are the branches”  John 15:1
      • Stay connected and receive from the vine. A place of resting and receiving
    • Be sure you’re connected to the TRUE vine 
    • Everything that comes into our lives has gone through God. He’s ordained it or has allowed it. 

  • The Holy Spirit:  When Jesus left the disciples (ascended into heaven), He didn’t leave them alone.  He sent the Holy Spirit to reside in them (in us).  He will never leave us or forsake us.
    • He is IN us. 
    • He gives fruit in our lives 
      • internal fruit, external fruit and gifts
    • We are pruned for more fruit.  Not more popularity, not more wealth, but FRUIT!
      • Fruit is the only thing that will last   John 15:16
        • It’s visible/tangible
        • Identifiable with the source
        • has a purpose to be enjoyed by others, to build up others. 
      • Submit to pruning
    • God positions us to thrive
    • We  can be flourishing (impressive) but not fruitful.
    • Seek the applause of heaven more than people.  

  • The Word
    • God speaks to us through the Word.
    • We need the Word hidden in our hearts and in our mouths.
      • Speak to things not as they are but as they should be (will be).  
    • Watch your words.  Satan attacks what we say: negativity, complaining, criticism.
      • There’s a bird that makes a squawking sound which attracts the eagles (eagles would kill the birds). As these birds matured they learned to take a rock in their mouths which would stop them from squawking….hence they were not attacked by the eagles. We need to put The Word in our mouths to stop complaining, etc….to stop satan  from attacking our words.  
  • The 5 P’s of Bible Study
    • Position yourself to hear from God. Expect to hear from God
    • Pore over and paraphrase major point.
    • Pull out spiritual principles
      • What is this showing me about God.  Know God so you won’t be deceived by satan.
    • Pose the question.
      • Am I living what I’m reading in the Word?
      • When you start asking questions, the Holy Spirit will start giving you answers.  
    • Plan obedience and pin down a date.
      • God speaks to be obeyed.
      • Set a date to obey rather than saying “someday I will"
      • 1 Cor 15:58 
  • “Set the Table” for meeting God. I love this thought….setting a beautiful table, being prepared, excellence in our church services, and in sharing with others.   
  • Stay and weather the storms.  Remain steadfast. Stand our ground until Jesus returns. Remain faithful.
    • 1 John 2:12-14, 28
    • Be steadfast - not perfect
    • As little children, have a relationship with the Father, know the Father
    • As young men, overcome the evil one.  Resist evil.
    • As parents we’re in a position of influence. Impart the Word.
    • Older women, teach the younger.
    • In all the different stages of growth.....
      • Remain
      • Stay
      • Align
      • Be consistent
      • Be faithful
      • A-B-I-D-E
