“Healing Patterns”

By Pastor Warren Richardson

---

JAMES 1:12-25(NKJV)

GOD WANTS TO DO SOMETHING NEW BUT HE WANTS TO PUT IT IN SOMETHING FRESH!

IF GOD IS DOING SOMETHING NEW HE’S NOT GOING TO DO IT IN OLD VESSELS.

HOW DO YOU STAY FRESH? GRATITUDE AND HUMILITY!

PATTERNS = DESIRES PRODUCE ACTIONS IF ALLOWED TO GROW THEY BRING DEATH.

1. IF THE DEVIL HAS A PATTERN WELL, GOD HAS ONE ALSO

   • PHILIPPIANS 2:13(NLT) “FOR GOD IS WORKING IN YOU, GIVING YOU THE DESIRE AND THE POWER TO DO WHAT PLEASES HIM.”

   • “A PATTERN FOR GOD”

   • THE KEY TO THE WHOLE SITUATION IS WHO STARTS THE PATTERN!

   • SIN IS TRYING TO FILL A LEGITIMATE DESIRE IN AN ILLEGITIMATE WAY.

2. THE PATTERN THAT STARTS WITH GOD WILL ALWAYS END IN POWER.

   • PROBLEMS ARE A BY PRODUCT OF THE PATTERN!

3. YOUR PATTERNS ARE PROPHESYING YOUR FUTURE.

   • YOUR PATTERN IS PROPHETIC

4. ITS NOT THAT THE PROMISES OF GOD AREN’T WORKING IT’S THAT YOUR PATTERNS ARE.

   • GOD IS SAYING DON’T WRESTLE WITH ME OVER YOUR PATTERNS. GIVE ME YOUR PATTERNS AND I’LL CHANGE YOUR NAME.

   • THE STORY OF JACOB WRESTLING WITH GOD IN GENESIS 32:22-32

     • THEN THE MAN SAID, “LET ME GO, FOR THE DAWN IS BREAKING!”BUT JACOB SAID, “I WILL NOT LET YOU GO UNLESS YOU BLESS ME.” GENESIS 32:26(NLT)

BE BLESSED AND BE HEALED!
