Who Christ is OVER us and BEFORE us
By Jeremy | January 26, 2010
Pastors Prayer Summit, Session 4
Facilitated by David Bryant and Steve Millazo
Augustine:
“He who has Christ has everything. He who has everything but does not have Christ has nothing. He who has everything plus Christ has no more than he who has Christ alone.”
A Christ-awakening is beginning in Rahway State Prison. 200 inmates gather for prayer and worship each work.
Colossians written to the smallest church in the smallest city. Paul had never actually been there, yet he writes such a grand portrait to reveal “the mysteries of Christ” (Colossians 2). Paul understood that it’s not the size of the congregation that matters for the advancement of the Kingdom. It’s the size of our vision of Christ.
Isaac Watts hymn “I Sing the Mighty Power of God.”
OVER us:
As the King OVER all creation and the Cosmos
As the Lord OVER the unfolding and outcome of history
As the Sovereign OVER all nations, languages and peoples
As the Ruler OVER all authorities in each sphere of human endeavor
As the Master OVER all heavenly hosts and demonic forces
As the Head OVER the one Body of Christ in Heaven and earth
BEFORE us:
As the one who goes BEFORE us into the new creation of God
As the one who goes BEFORE us into the holy presence of God
As the one who goes BEFORE us into the grand promises of God
As the one who goes BEFORE us into the eternal triumphs of God
Testimony Steve Millazo, Pastor Bethlehem Assembly of God
Death has been close to me. Dad died at 4. Mon was a 26 year old widow with 4 kids. Stepdad died at 14. Both sisters-in-law died of cancer within 8 weeks
At 19, survived a near fatal car accident. Met Jesus afterwards
In August 2009, survived a jet ski collision. This time had confidence where he would go if he didn’t survive.
God has gone before us, along with the hosts of heaven… This is the hope that I have… Christ died and He rose and He’s coming again, and death CANNOT separate us from the love of God.
