Episode notes
God Takes The Initiative
- God is the initiator who invites people into his rescue rather than people initiating God into their plans.
- J.D. Greear emphasizes that rescue belongs to God and we are responders called into his work.
The Meaning Of 'I Am' Revealed
- God reveals his personal name I AM (Yahweh) to indicate his eternal, self-sustaining nature.
- The burning bush symbolizes God's self-sustaining presence that needs no external fuel.
Pray To Join God's Movement
- Pray and cry out to God because he ties his moving to the prayers of his people.
- Use fasting to increase sensitivity to God's movement, not to make God more willing to hear you.
