ATF Part 4 Sniglets

Sniglets
· How do we get our voice out there?
John 12
· 49 I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it.
· Go into the entire world & preach the good news.
· God so loves, He wants to reintroduce you to that strength & power.
1 Corinthians 13
· 1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
· Whenever you speak, do it in love.
1 Corinthians 16
· 14 And do everything with love.
Ephesians 4
· 15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.
· God told us how to say it, how can I best reach those around me?
· How do you get people to listen to you?
· Who do I listen to?
· The world has nothing to say, but says it so well.
· The church has everything to say, but says it badly.
Jeremiah 1
9 Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said,
"Look, I have put my words in your mouth!
Luke 21
· 15 for I will give you the right words and such wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to reply or refute you!
· 1) Is my voice motivated by love?
· 2) Is my message relevant/relatable?
· 3) Is my message what the world needs to hear?
· Ephesians 3; 20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
· Jesus wanted to put them in the middle of the miracle.
· In your school, every time you dream the dreams of God, you reflect God’s light.
· We were born to dream, made in His image, & everyone has the potential to dream.
· Your dream is your voice; there are a lot of forces that want to kill us (our dreams).
· Every time we watch TV or movies we’re participating in someone else’s dream.
· Culture hypnotizes us; it causes our reading to be "dumbed down".
· And they really represent dream killers, distractions from our dreams.
· 98% of people follow somebody else’s dreams while only 2% of people actually shape culture.
· What is your dream?
