More from my notes

All that I've been learning these last couple of weeks are in these notes. It might be hard to figure some of them out without hearing the whole message, but I hope you can get a glimpse of the amazing stuff I'm learning. I feel like God is becoming so much more alive in me as I discover who He is and who I am as a daughter of the King!! That's what it's all about: REALLY knowing how wonderful He is and then discovering that He wants to spoil us with His love.
I hope these notes encourage you to live more alive in Him!!

Every problem in this world goes back to people not knowing how much God loves them.
When Paul was in jail, he started praising God. That’s when God performed a miracle! Sometimes people get healed in the middle of worship time.
Love established true identity, challenges lies, and empowers us to focus on our calling.
Bill Johnson’s prayer was “I want more of You at ANY cost.” That’s when God came.
You’re hungry for God, He’s hungrier for us.
If you don’t live by the applause of men, you won’t die by the criticism of men.
Serving God should be fun!!
God doesn’t need our help to be good. He just needs us to allow him to be good.
The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is inside of us. We just need to be aware of that.
There’s no such thing as a hard place when we figure out what God’s doing and open up the heavens in that place.
We are millionaires in the Kingdom of God but we don’t know it. Satan is using what is ours.
Someone asked the question, “Why doesn’t God heal everyone?” Kris answered, “I don’t know. The number of miracles here has increased, but there are still people that don’t get healed. It’s still a battle... I’m just teaching the bible.”
We can’t make God love us more by DOING anything. He already loves us more than we know.
Joy helps us to diagnose our life correctly. Joy makes your faith alive. Joy leads us to the face of God. When you’re happy, you can love anyone.
Our call in life is to be a branch attached to God. (John 15)
Be controlled by the kingdom in you, not by the environment around you.
When fear comes, we react. For example, when our economy is bad, we get scared and stop spending. That causes the economy to get worse. Instead, break the cycle and give more to God.
If we don’t believe a miracle can happen right now, what is keeping us from believing that?
Jesus is better than Santa Claus!!
We don’t need to wait until we’re perfect for God to use us.
God wants to work through us more than we want Him to work through us.
When you hear God, act before you have time to think.
It’s love for the other person that releases the miracle.
