Topic:
Assures them they don’t need to be frightened, he is not a ghost. Addresses their doubts by showing them his hands and feet. He ate something to show he is still human. He opened their minds to understand the scriptures. He tells them to wait on the Holy Spirit who would fill them with power.

Learning Agenda:
Lessons from Bloggers
Noone falls into a life of sin, they have to choose it.
When you meet with a mentor, nover go into the meeting without having a list of questions you want to ask ? Maxwell told Perry Noble "I will mentor you, but you ave to ask the questions ?"
Vision doesn't come through a committee, a conference, books, excellent ideas can come from these, but a white hot, hell charging, world changing, and people inspiring vision comes from intentional and uninterupted time with Jesus, in His Word, seeking His face through prayers and staying connected with the Holy Spirit throughout the day.

Prayer:
Lord, Thank you for your goodness, thank you for the mercy you give to your people. Thank you for grace. We thank you that through Jesus mercy replaces justice.
I pray today that your kingdom, your rule on earth and your reign would come on earth in my life as it is in heaven. Show me how to allow you to live through me today. Enable me with all the empowerment of heaven on the earth.
I pray that you would take care of all our financial needs God. Help us to pay all of our debtors. I pray your hand would be on my children today. Reach out and make yourself known to them. Speak to their minds your thoughts. Show them how your ways are different from the ways of this world.
I pray your encouragement to be upon Chris, Tim, Justin, Brandon, and Clayton today as well as Rebecca, Missy, Heather, Greg, and Nicole.
Lord keep me in a mindset of prayer all day.
