#love #victory #weallneedlove #pauldaugherty #sermon SERMON NOTES 1 Corinthians 13:1-13------- If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. --John 13:34-35 – Jesus told his disciples to LOVE each other—this would be how the world recognizes you are my disciples… LOVE is more IMPORTANT… LOVE is the CHIEF thing! ---JOHN 3:16 /// ROMANS 5:6-9 – GOD LOVED us & LOVES US even when we aren’t perfect… LOVED PEOPLE LOVE PEOPLE REALLY WELL…. THE MORE LOVED YOU FEEL BY GOD, the MORE LOVE you will GIVE TO PEOPLE AROUND YOU… THE more you BELIEVE and RECEIVE GOD’s LOVE, the more you’ll be able to GIVE LOVE to others… ---1 John 4:7-8--- GOD IS LOVE. ---Romans 13:8-10--- love sums it all up—the greatest debt to carry… - the standing DEBT of LOVE--- I owe the debt laterally--- I am called to love the people around me the way God has loved me---- are you holding debts against people that God has cancelled for you… ---THE PARABLE of the MAN who owed a TON--- extraordinary forgiveness // MATTHEW 18:21-35-- HOW YOU CAN STAY CONNECTED WITH VICTORY Victory Church Website: http://victory.com Victory Church Facebook: http://bit.ly/2lfgplu Victory Church Instagram: http://bit.ly/2E7Qd48 Victory Church Twitter: http://bit.ly/2lp29pM Paul Daugherty Facebook: http://bit.ly/2BOyCN9 Paul Daugherty Instagram: http://bit.ly/2CiieFH Paul Daugherty Twitter: http://bit.ly/2E9tx3q

#overcomingshame #embracetheembarrassment #victory #pauldaugherty #church SERMON NOTES ---Matthew 1:18-25 --Mary and Joseph's embarassment was an invitation from God to experience MORE in LIFE that could only come from embracing the embarrassing situation...---MARY’s EMBARASMENT led to her GLORY--- Joseph was going to divorce her privately – but GOD wanted to HONOR JOSEPH and MARY PUBLICLY --- there are things you go through that don’t make sense until you get to the other side--- what if the embarassing moment you’re wlaking through right now is to get to a new side of fulfillment, a new level of generosity, a new level of health--- it might be painful now, but if you run from it—you’ll never know what NEW THING GOD is GOING TO DO --------GOD IS DRAWN TO OUR VULNERABILTY---our NEED for HIM… He’s attracted to our WEAKNESS James 4:6 – he gives grace and favor to the humble, but God opposes the proud…-I must decrease- he must Increase- John 3:30- ---a few of the phrases I’ve heard this year in 2020 --- I’m embarrassed to say it, but I’m not doing good, I’ve just made some bad mistakes, things got out of hand, I didn’t know what to do, I lost my job, I didn’t know where to turn… Embarassed= abashed—mortified---blushing---humiliated---loss of self-confidence, anxiously self-conscious, something that impedes your thoughts, your words, and actions… the situation embarassed her so much she couldn’t speak, think, or even make a decision… ----What do you do when you’re faced with that emotional state of intense discomfort we call embarrassment?-----Studies show that a third of us apologize immediately when something embarrassing happens, while 22% of us joke to cover it up, 21% pretend nothing happened, 18% suffer the blushing until it passes, and 6% of us leave the room. But what is the best way to deal with that awkward moment that leaves us shame face and self-conscious? ---OFTENTIMES our embarrassment sends us into HIDING out of FEAR and SHAME— -----Genesis 3:7 – “At this moment, their eyes were opened, and suddenly they felt SHAME…” WHY DO WE HIDE---why do we lie—there’s so much pressure to appear perfect, perfectionism is a lie----we live in such a HARSH world with a society that doesn’t do RESTORATION well, or MERCY well, or GRACE well---- we are such a JUDGMENTAL WORLD- -----The Hebrew word for SHAME in this verse is stronger than “to be embarrassed” – it is bosh, which literally means to be “utterly dejected” and to be “ashamed in front of one another.” It carries a sense of FEAR of exploitation or evil. ----OUR VERY FIRST recorded dialogue and interaction with God literally is a story of SHAME and guilt. ---“Guilt and shame seem similar in meaning, but there is a significant difference. ----Brene Brown defines--- SHAME is the intensively painful feeling or experience of believing we are flawed and therefore unworthy of acceptance and belonging… --Guilt says: You’ve done something bad or you’ve made a bad choice. Shame says: YOU ARE BAD. ---Guilt is about my DO. Shame is about my WHO.”-CHRISTINE CAINE ----REMEMBER---- GOD is WORKING: IN YOU, ON YOU, FOR YOU, and THROUGH YOU during this EMBARRASMENT ---our embarrassment DOES NOT disqualify us--- ---our embarrassment is not our final chapter – don’t accept the spirit of finality—the lie that you’ve failed, you’ve messed up so bad that there’s no future, etc… ---Our embarrassment is often God’s invitation to experience HIS HEALING LOVE ---Our embarrassment needs encouragement that only comes when we get out of isolation – friendship – Elizabeth HOW YOU CAN STAY CONNECTED WITH VICTORY Victory Church Website: http://victory.com Victory Church Facebook: http://bit.ly/2lfgplu Victory Church Instagram: http://bit.ly/2E7Qd48 Victory Church Twitter: http://bit.ly/2lp29pM Paul Daugherty Facebook: http://bit.ly/2BOyCN9 Paul Daugherty Instagram: http://bit.ly/2CiieFH Paul Daugherty Twitter: http://bit.ly/2E9tx3q

It’s a gradual choking… -Every time the victim exhales the python gets a little tighter- spiritual asthma- can’t breathe spiritually… -IF the enemy can get a grip on your mind through ---it will entangle you- it will overcome you until you choose to OVERCOME IT… ---Acts 16:19-32----STRIPPED and BEATEN---the enemy can strip me of life’s trophies but he cannot strip me of my faith, my hope, my love---they can beat the outside but they cant beat the inside---- the bloodthirsty crowd--- a rat infested DUNGEON—a DARK PLACE---what looks like humiliation is often God’s preparation for an acceleration towards your destiny… --Their CONFRONTATION of the DEMONIC STRONGHOLDS in the CITY led to the ATTACKS against them—the anointing attracts attacks from the enemy----when you mess with the devil’s territory there’s going to be a revolt… IT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY!!! What do you do when life hits you suddenly with disappointment, pain, setbacks?? PRISON PLAYLIST INSTRUCTIONS 1----IT’s OK to ADMIT & LAMENT that YOU’RE in a PRISON 2---THIS PRISON BREAK STARTS INSIDE OF ME-- 3---YOU’RE NOT ALONE IN THIS PRISON--- 4--PRAYER PRODUCES POWER in any PRISON the enemy tries to put you in 5---START YOUR PRISON PRAISE PLAYLIST---In Acts 16:25---And at midnight Paul & Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: & the prisoners heard them.” - they began to sing and worship in the jail cell- they decided to light a match in the darkness of that cell- instead of the circumstances dictating their joy & praise- they let their joy and praise dictate the circumstances! 6--YOUR PRISON has a PURPOSE that’s BIGGER THAN YOU HOW YOU CAN STAY CONNECTED WITH VICTORY Victory Church Website: http://victory.com Victory Church Facebook: http://bit.ly/2lfgplu Victory Church Instagram: http://bit.ly/2E7Qd48 Victory Church Twitter: http://bit.ly/2lp29pM Paul Daugherty Facebook: http://bit.ly/2BOyCN9 Paul Daugherty Instagram: http://bit.ly/2CiieFH Paul Daugherty Twitter: http://bit.ly/2E9tx3q

#faithinthewild #languageoffaith #victory #faith #church #sermon #hope #speaklife SERMON NOTES THE MOUTH & TONGUE are mentioned a combined 552 times. THE DIRECTION of my LIFE is HINGING on the WORDS I SPEAK. Proverbs 18:21 NLT "The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” MY COMMUNICATION determines my DESTINATION. Your life will move in the direction of your words??? WHAT are you SAYING? You don’t even realize you’re prophesying where you will go. Proverbs 13:2 "A person eats the FRUIT of their LIPS." YOU can’t live a POSITIVE LIFE with a NEGATIVE MOUTH. Proverbs 12:18 NCV “Careless words stab like a sword, but wise words bring healing.” - THINK ABOUT THIS: Children LEARN the LANGUAGE of their ENVIRONMENT without being explicitly taught…it is a NATURAL LEARNING that happens in the family that kids repeat what they hear, how they hear it, and the style of communication is learned from their parents. WE can do more damage with our words than any other part of your body. Our tongue is the most POWERFUL part of our BODY. JAMES 3:1-9 3 ways to USE THIS LANGUAGE 1. The WORDS YOU SPEAK over YOURSELF: James 3:4-6 (MSG & NIV) "Your words are like a RUDDER on a SHIP" In a world full of hate, violence, negativity, hopelessness, fear, doubt, skepticism, doubt, etc, watch your words. Spread hope like fire. James says, "Your mouth is like a spark that can light a forest on fire." What are you RELEASING into your FUTURE, into your PRESENT, into others around you? I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR. "If you don’t speak to your mountains, your mountains will speak to you!" 1 Samuel 30:6 "ENCOURAGE YOURSELF in the LORD" Psalm 42:4-5 WHY AM I DISCOURAGED? PUT YOUR HOPE in GOD. 2. The WORDS YOU SPEAK over OTHERS (Eph.4:29). Our words have the power to BUILD UP or TEAR DOWN. We can help people FULFILL their destiny with the words we speak to them. We have the power to stop people from ending their life, stop husbands from leaving their wife, and stop conversations that are headed for strife. The power is in our WORDS. 3. THE WORDS YOU SPEAK OVER your CIRCUMSTANCES-. CHANGE THE NARRATIVE. Speak the confession: speak life over yourself, over others, over your future. Declare. Prophesy. (1 Kings 18:41-45) SPEAK BY FAITH. I HEAR THE SOUND of a MIGHTY RAIN. Elijah is speaking by faith. Nothing on the outside says there’s rain but he is stirring up the HOPE and FAITH he has in GOD. He’s declaring God’s WORD in the RIGHT NOW. Never allow your present circumstances to name your permanent future! THINGS can turn around!

#movementislife #faithinthewild #victory #covid19 #faith #church SERMON NOTES Hebrews 11:1-12:3 2 Kings 7:1-16 In less than two generations, physical activity has dropped by 20% in the U.K. and 32% in the U.S. In China, the drop is 45% in less than one generation. Vehicles, machines and technology now do our moving for usYou have to STAND HEAD ON and FACE THIS VIRUS with FAITH if you’re going to make it--- DON’T BACK DOWN--- START MOVING FORWRAD! Fear is an ILLUSION. Scientists and doctors and psychologists have discovered that MOVEMENT truly is LIFE – it literally changes your mental and emotional and physical state for the better--- the more the move the less depressed you are, the more you move the less arthritis affects you…Humans are meant to move… The body contributes far more to our lives than just physical attributes such as strength and endurance - it plays a major role in emotions, learning and relationships. The body is intimately involved in all our thought processes, understanding, emotions and decision making. The mind and body are inseparable… ---IPHONES and SMART PHONES started TRACKING OUR MOVEMENT to sort of TRACE where the VIRUS might be… THERE have been multiple articles and news pieces trying to DISCOURAGE MOVEMENT--- trying to get people to stay home as much as possible---- ----CONTACT TRACING--- where have you been, what’s your movement been like, who have you talked with, who did you get close to? WAYS TO MOVE 1---MOVE with FAITH---Hebrew 11:1-30 -- 4 lepers, noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, paul, esther 2---MOVE with OBEDIENCE – if GOD told you to do it, then do it—don’t wait – LOT and his wife and family--- Genesis 19:12, 16-26---GENESIS 22:1-19 --- move with obedience—GOD will provide 3----MOVE with COMPASSION--- 2 KINGS 7:6-17 // Matthew 9:36, Matthew 15:32, Matthew 8:3, Matthew 20:34 ----WHO CAN YOU LOVE----WHO CAN YOU REACH----WHO CAN YOU SERVE… ??? WE CAN’T KEEP THIS TO OURSELVES--- we’ve got to share this---someone needs what you have--- a neighbor-- 4----MOVE IN SURRENDER--- God is more impressed with surrender than success--- sometimes the best move to make is a move of humility, a move of repentance, a move of hands raised, a move of apologizing first--- watch AS GOD EXALTS THOSE WHO HUMBLE THEMSELVES…. James 4:6 – he gives grace and favor to the humble, but God opposes the proud…-I must decrease- he must Increase- John 3:30 MAKE YOUR MOVE----- HOW YOU CAN STAY CONNECTED WITH VICTORY Victory Church Website: http://victory.com Victory Church Facebook: http://bit.ly/2lfgplu Victory Church Instagram: http://bit.ly/2E7Qd48 Victory Church Twitter: http://bit.ly/2lp29pM Paul Daugherty Facebook: http://bit.ly/2BOyCN9 Paul Daugherty Instagram: http://bit.ly/2CiieFH Paul Daugherty Twitter: http://bit.ly/2E9tx3q

#Victory #faithinthewild #ManAfterGodsOwnHeart #David #Courage SERMON NOTES | BUILDING A BRAVE HEART Scriptures: 1 Samuel 16-18 1. WILD FAITH grows in the SECRET PLACE - DAVID’s COURAGE was BIRTHED in the SECRET PLACE. He was ALONE with GOD. HOW you TREAT the PRIVATE BATTLES will PREPARE you for the PUBLIC BATTLES. 2. YOUR FAITHFULNESS TODAY BRINGS FAVOR TOMORROW. 3. SEE GOD through what GOD’S WORD says about HIM. 4. SEE YOURSELF through what GOD’S WORD says about YOU. YOU’VE GOT TO WIN ON THE INSIDE FIRST. The battle is between the ears...Win the FIGHT in your mind! 5. SEE YOUR PROBLEMS through what GOD’S WORD says about THEM. Goliath represented a significant threat to the security of Israel but he also represented something else as well...OPPORTUNITY. Wherever there is fear there is also opportunity. Great fear to the masses is great opportunity to the warrior. 6. BE YOUR BIGGEST ENCOURAGER. Remember what God has helped you with in the past. Remember the miracles. (1 Samuel 17:33-37) 7. ROCK WHAT YOU GOT. Saul wanted David to wear his armor to be like him, to think like him, to use his style, his weapons, his ways...but DAVID wasn’t about to forfeit his uniqueness. 8. TALK BACK TO THE GIANTS. Use your voice to SHOUT, SING PRAISE to GOD, tell the DEVIL he is defeated! (1 Samuel 17:41-48) 9. Attack the Giant Quickly (1 Sam.17:48-50) The longer we wait to defeat that giant, the bigger it gets. 10. REALIZE every VICTORY leads to another BATTLE...BUT GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN YOU THE VICTORY. MAYBE THE GIANT wasn’t the REAL TEST AFTER ALL, maybe the HIGH STAKES test was FACING a GREAT BATTLE after the giant. Saul’s Heart vs. David’s Heart Fear of man -------------- Fear of God Worrier -------------- Worshipper Thirsty for man’s applause ------------- Thirsty for God’s presence Paranoid ------------- Peaceful Raging with jealousy ------------- Oblivious of his extraordinary confidence Self-preserving ------------- Servant leader RUNNING FROM the Giant ------------- RUNNING towards the GIANTS Faithless -------------- Faithful HOW YOU CAN STAY CONNECTED WITH VICTORY Victory Church Website: http://victory.com Victory Church Facebook: http://bit.ly/2lfgplu Victory Church Instagram: http://bit.ly/2E7Qd48 Victory Church Twitter: http://bit.ly/2lp29pM Paul Daugherty Facebook: http://bit.ly/2BOyCN9 Paul Daugherty Instagram: http://bit.ly/2CiieFH Paul Daugherty Twitter: http://bit.ly/2E9tx3q

#FaithInTheWild #Victory #Covid19 #EndTimes #BibleProphecy SERMON NOTES “Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.” – Billy Graham DANIEL 6:1-23 --- Daniel understood the importance of prayer. He realized that prayer was the source of his strength, wisdom, insight and favor for his life. DANIEL---WASN’T SWAYED- The Fear of Man ---Because Daniel feared the Lord, he had no fear of man. God’s opinion meant more to him than anything else. Daniel was up against a lot--- a totally different culture, prejudice against his background, an ungodly land and an ungodly King. ----But Daniel didn’t retreat to the hills and hide in a hole. ---“The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.” – Oswald Chambers // ----It is only the fear of God that can deliver us from the fear of man. John Witherspoon Daniel 6:10—Daniel heard about it, realized it was the haters—went up to his room- faced Jerusalem with his WINDOWS OPEN and PRAYED 3 times a day just like he usually did! ---Daniel knew JERUSALEM had been BROKEN DOWN----yet he had not lost hope in God’s plan for Jerusalem---What is your JERUSALEM—What are you praying for, standing for, believing will change? Marriage, family, son, children, job, etc…KEEP ON PRAYING----PRAYER releases HEAVEN’S HELP---- pray before you go through the TRIALS... Daniel was a PRAYER- WARRIOR--- your private prayer life affects your public battles. -----LOVE JESUS with my WINDOWS OPEN—I’m gonna serve GOD with my WINDOWS open—I’m gonna praise God with my WINDOWS OPEN... . ---PRAYER is the ARMOR of a soldier—prayer will raise up a bowed down head- pray your way out when your down to nothing, when your surrounded by bills, surrounded by haters, surrounded by accusations--- the child of God can see more on his knees than the enemy on his tip toes... What lions are surrounding you? ---THE LION OF FEAR--- --The Lion of Defeat --The Lion of Accusations --The Lion of LACK --The Lion of Loneliness --The Lion of Shame --The Lion of OFFENSE --The Lion of Apathy ---THE LION OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HOW DO YOU SURVIVE THE LIONS IN THE WILD:: 1-----Don’t PANIC-- “IT TAKES THE HEART OF A LION to STAND AGAINST the MOUTHS of LIONS” ---- “Do not be afraid for I am with you…” Isaiah 41:10 //// I can imagine Daniel just going right there in the middle of the lions and falling asleep—all the forces of darkness cannot take me---DANIEL wasn’t AFRAID--I don’t know what the FUTURE HOLDS, but I DO KNOW WHO HOLDS MY FUTURE! 2------Don’t RUN--- Don’t turn your back. “When you have done all to stand, stand therefore.”-Eph. 6:13-14 stand your ground & FACE THE LION. These lions don’t stand a chance against the LION INSIDE you- the LION of the TRIBE of JUDAH! You are a THREAT to the ENEMY- REMEMBER who you are! RISE UP oh men and women of God! God shows up when people stand up! --Your stand for God leaves a legacy for others to follow. WHY ARE WE RUNNING FROM LIONS that are SMALLER than the LION of the TRIBE of JUDAH who LIVES IN YOU… 3-------Make some noise! (SIMILAR TO PRAISE, WORSHIP, AND PRAYER) GIVE GOD PRAISE—the enemy hates to see a BOLD LOUD GENUINE CHRISTIAN… ---When lions charge, they go straight for the face and throat (THE ENEMY WANTS TO SILENCE YOUR VOICE). PRAISE is ESSENTIAL. 4--------STAY ALERT--- 1 Peter 5:8, “Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.” ---Lions are primarily nocturnal. They are more prone to attack at night. If you are in an area of high lion density, maintain a night watch so that you aren’t caught off-guard. 5-------Fight back if he charges. Eph 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…” Never back down. The only way to win is to give it all you’ve got and let him know that you are not someone to mess with. Fight with God’s word---speak it, live it, meditate on it- prayer, praise, love, perseverance, peace… FIGHTING the enemy is about PERSEVERANCE doing the right thing—don’t quit, don’t throw in the towel… --Daniel 6:19-23-The next morning King Darius came in and said OH DANIEL---I don’t have time to talk about my enemies- I’m OK king- my God showed up—if it had not been for JESUS—after all the things I’ve been through, after all the things that happened against me, all the enemies that tried to bring me down, all the threats and accusations- IM STILL HERE, I’m STILL HERE HOW YOU CAN STAY CONNECTED WITH VICTORY Victory Church Website: http://victory.com Victory Church Facebook: http://bit.ly/2lfgplu Victory Church Instagram: http://bit.ly/2E7Qd48 Victory Church Twitter: http://bit.ly/2lp29pM Paul Daugherty Facebook: http://bit.ly/2BOyCN9 Paul Daugherty Instagram: http://bit.ly/2CiieFH Paul Daugherty Twitter: http://bit.ly/2E9tx3q

#ConfrontingConfusion #Sermon #Victory #PaulDaugherty SERMON NOTES CONFRONTING CONFUSION----wisdom in the age of outrage ---- In 1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” ---WE ARE navigating UNCERTAIN TIMES--- we’ve never been through this before… WE need WISDOM--- we need GOD’S HELP--- we need HIS GUIDANCE--- WE are NOT IN CONTROL… ----CONFUSION IS NOT A SIN---but it can lead to SIN---- confusion is a work of the enemy to try to---WHAT CONFUSION DOES----distracts, distorts, depletes, discourages, and ultimately detours our life away from God’s purpose… ---BIBLE EXAMPLES of PEOPLE who LIVED in CONFUSION----- King Saul, King Herod, Cain, Judas, ---PEOPLE who EXPERIENCED CONFUSION but OVERCAME IT-----Moses, David, Peter, Thomas, Paul the Apostle, 5 WAYS TO CONFRONT CONFUSION 1---CONFRONT YOUR THOUGHTS---- 2 Corinthians 10:5 -----"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." ----GET YOUR MIND BACK --- it’s time to EVICT every thought that’s TAKING UP SPACE IN YOUR HEAD that’s not from God. –MOVIE IN MY MIND—entertaining imaginations that aren’t true—believing suspicions that aren’t true---people whispering, people laughing, assumptions, etc… ---YOU ARE THE DIRECTOR of that MOVIE in your HEAD--- you have the power to STOP THE SCENE--- CUT IT OUT--- edit it---and stop giving so much power to it over you… 1 Peter 5:8 “Be alert and of sober mind.
