SPEAKSOF THE PRESENCE OF GOD
1
“Because you have made the Lord, who
is my refuge, Even the Most High, your
habitation.”(Psalm 91:9)
2SPEAKS OF THE PURPOSE OF GOD
“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the
laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest
to send out laborers into His
harvest.”(Matthew 9:37-38)
3SPEAKS OF THE POWER OF GOD
“And He said to them, "Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature…
And these signs will follow those who
believe…they will lay hands on the sick, and
they will recover.” (Mark 16:15-18)
God wants to do a new thing in all of our lives
as we head into this Year 2014. New
Beginnings start when we realize that we are
powerless to change ourselves, but we look
to God for an encounter with Jesus that can change us forever.
There was a man there who had been sick
38 years
Verse 5
On Numbers:3 = God; 8 = New
Beginnings. Encounter God, new
beginnings!
Three things we learn about Jesus:
Verse 6
1 He saw him lying there –
jesus is the god who sees – he
sees you!
2He KNEW how long he had been in that
condition – He knows &
understands your condition.
3He SPOKE to him: “Do you want a new
beginning?” - When Jesus
speaks to your situation,
everything changes.
The sick man made excuses. He had been powerless to
change Himself.
Verse 7
Jesus said, “Get up!”
Verse 8
immediately the man
became well.Verse 9
“Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
John 5:14
Jesus said, “Go and sin no more!”
Verse 14
New Beginnings start with an
encounter with Jesus, but then
we need to choose to change
as well.
HOW TO GET READY FOR
NEW BEGINNINGS

mistakes, broken
resolutions!

destiny in God – NEW
BEGINNINGS!
