Bootcamp Series #1 Declutter

Series: “Preparing To Posses The Promises” Sermon #1 “Declutter”

Are there things we can do NOW
to prepare for what’s NEXT.

Two things to consider:
1. No matter where you go There YOU ARE
New view doesn’t mean new you.

2. Knowing what is NEXT doesn’t mean you’re READY.
“I Do” – Not the same as – “I Can”

“The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.” Joe Paterno
“By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail.” Benjamin Franklin

Jeremiah 29:11
“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”

Regret:– sorrow over an unfulfilled ambition.
Second most expressed emotion is regret. Second only to love.
I wish … _____________
If only … ______________

Joshua = Jesus
As Joshua led God’s people to possess the promise Jesus will lead us to possess the promise.

Joshua 1:1-2
After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: ‘Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel.’”

Release
Time to stop grieving. Leave the past in the past!!!
Moses can’t lead you in. Jesus will lead you to possess.

Romans 8:31-32
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

What do you need to UNPACK right now?
What is not going to be a part of NEXT?

Reflect
When God states the obvious He wants your to dig a little deeper.
Push back on unhealthy mindsets.
Something need rooting out!

James 1:22-25
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, …
he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”

You don’t just look in the mirror!
A mirror demands action.
You don’t leave until you are done.
You make changes because the seasons of life are connected.

When I’m Done — Looking Good

You will experience the best of The next season when you do what God has called you to do in this season.

Resolve
To decide firmly on a course of action.
“Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan…”

Philippians 3:13-14 TPT
“I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.
I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.”

The Placebo Effect:— What you believe and expect is a determining factor.
Your actions will follow your thought life.
The mind is powerful.

Let’s get fixed in a possession mindset.
