Over the mountains and through the city to Generation Unleashed we go....


Saving POWER. 
"I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes." Roman 1:16


 [night one]
The presence of God definitely could be felt last night. There was no denying it. It's like Monique said, the presence of God is so undoubtedly there, the only way you can miss it is if your willing to enter in to it. Pastor Ponch spoke tonight about the tipping point, the tipping point for break through.

Saving power- a divine work of the cross that can turn the sinners life of worthlessness into a priceless work of absolute greatness.

Without Christ, our life is purposeless. Greatness is in me because of Christ's living word in me.

Three Keys to Breakthrough modeled by Paul
 1. He was not ashamed.
"I am not ashamed, because I know the things Christ has for me."
Mark 16:15, 1 Corinthians 10:13
2. He understood the gospel message
Truth and revelation of what Christ has brought- freedom.
John 3:16
God- wants relationship with man
Man- free will
Problem... All sinners
Solution... Jesus came and died on the cross.
3. Power of Christ- saving power
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you." Acts 1:8
Releasing the power of God- Luke 4:18-19
 -preach the good news
-proclaim freedom (pray for people in bondage)
-recovery of sight (pray for healing) Mark 16:17, Is. 53:5 ...Reach for God before Advil.
-release the oppressed (love the oppressed with God's love)
-proclaim the year of the Lord's favor (take the opportunity to preach and you will see God's saving power)

Eph. 5:1
1 Cor. 13 all about love
the word of God and prayer- where break through is set in place
Predetermined Purity.
purity is not simply virginity.
purity is walking in accordance with God.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
Purity-state of being umixed and undefined. To be innocent and blameless. To be free from any pollution or contamination.
purity proclamation- Today, I choose to live a pure life. I reject a life of sin, shame, and selfishness. I choose to live a life set apart for Christ.
Purity must be predetermined.
Gal. 5- FREEDOM.
Purity is the battlefield of our generation.
-the way we dress
-talk
We need to know where our battlefield is, so we can predetermine a strategic and effective plan to fight it.
1Thess. 4:3-7
Purity is first a thing that starts from the inside. It starts with the word of God- living and active in you. That is the way to overcome. Then you must let the purity on the inside show to the outside.
Possessing Purity:
-we are called to possess purity.
-possessing purity is first internal/non-tangible
-possessing purity is also external/tangible
-possessing purity is inside-out
Four Keys to Possessing Purity:
1. Guard your eyes!
2. Guard your mind! (Romans 12:2)
3. Guard your heart
mind is a battlefield, heart is where your treasure is stored.
Serve God out of a doctrine of "yes". Yes to God, not no to the world. Relationship not religion.
4. Guard my ears
flee temptation.
"A little Poop in the brownies"

A generation in Crisis
[WAR ZONE]
Eph. 6:10-12
Learning comes from application
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1 Cor. 1:18-Saving power
When you stop focusing on yourself and start focusing on Christ and his saving power, lives WILL be saved.
A power-tool is going to be useless unless it is connected to a power source. Our power source is God.
His SAVING POWER in me will:
-Save me.
-deliever me.
-heal me. Mark 16:18
-empower me. John 17:18
