Remember This
The Holy Spirit now lives within believers to reveal our full inheritance in Christ, igniting holy fire in our souls as we voluntarily yield, obey, and ask the Father with childlike trust.
A Challenge for You
"Father, thank you. Find hungry children here, Lord. Would you find hungry kids here, God, that ask you boldly? You said that we should approach that throne of grace with boldness, with confidence.

We're asking, seeking, and knocking."These are personal sermon notes shared to help you remember the message — not a replacement for Scripture, your church, or your pastors.
