Sermon Series: Healing Secrets of the Ages

Sermon Title: What You See Is What You Get

Message delivered by Rev. Sheree Thompson

Scripture: Matthew 6:22-23

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.”

Key Idea

You must train your imagination to see what you desire to experience.

Point #1

What is Imagination?
The faculty of mind that images and forms;
The power to shape and form thought.
 Through this faculty the formless takes form.
The imaging faculty presides at the nerve center between

Point #2

“In picturing health in the body, you are not trying to put something into the body that is not already there. You are not trying to force the body into a mold of your own making. Instead, you are claiming and releasing the potential perfection, the ‘imprisoned splendor’.” (Pg. 136)

Point #3

“The power of the imagination must express in one way or another, but it is always at work, constructively or destructively.” (Pg 155)

Your Soul Work – Create a Wheel of Fortune

1 Draw or trace a large circle on a sheet of paper or poster board. Draw or trace a small circle in the middle. Then divide the circle into four parts using straight lines.  Your picture should look like a wheel with spokes.
2 Decide on four areas to focus. You can choose from business, family, spiritual, social, relationships, finances, health, or any focus you desire.
3 In the center, add an image that represents God to you or write your spiritual name like, I am love, or I am power.
4 Find one or two pictures that show the results of what you desire to achieve in those areas of your life.
5 Write an affirmation at the bottom, like, I gratefully receive my good now. Or, This or something better, thy will be done.
6 Look at the wheel every day for 30 days. Be sure to look at it lovingly and calmly.

Sermon Title: The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity

Sermon Thesis: Vessels for Your Prosperity – Law #2: Setting Goals

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:8

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. (ESV)

And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work. (NRSV)

What is Prosperity?

  • A vitally alive body that provides a comfortable home for the spiritual beings that we are
  • Relationships that are satisfying, nurturing, and that work all the time.
  • Work that we love so much that it’s not work, it’s play.
  • All the money you can spend.

Spiritual Laws

Spiritual Law #1: First, you must tithe faithfully on every dime you receive. Act like God is your all sufficiency in all things.

Spiritual Law #2: Set Goals Your dreams are the vessels to catch the abundant good that comes when you are in the flow.

Key Point: What is Directed Faith?

Having directed faith means having a heart-felt specific desire, coupled with a deep and abiding trust in the goodness and generosity of God, and therein lies the magic and power of setting our goals. (Pg 91-92)

Scripture: Mark 11:23-25

Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and if you do not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you.

So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (NRSV)

Elements of Goal Setting

  • #1 Cast aside your limitations
  • #2 Open yourself up to possibility
  • #3 Be Specific

Your Soul Work

  • Write a list of what you desire to have, do and be. Don’t judge. Don’t be practical.
  • Read the list and put a start next to your top 5 or 12.
  • Choose ONE or TWO – What changes might you need to make to achieve the goal?
  • Choose the date you desire to achieve your goal.
  • Add it to your daily routine (Read it 3x in morning and evening. Act like it’s done)

Sermon Series: The Three Dimensions of Christmas

Sermon Title: Say Yes!

Point #1

Take responsibility for the Christ child.

Point #2

Open your mind to a divine idea.

Point #3

Willingly follow Spirit’s guidance.

Key Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25

Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be pregnant from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to divorce her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Look, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means, “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son, and he named him Jesus.

Winning Move #1

Forgive it.

Winning Move #2

Forget it.

Winning Move #3

Let God love you.

Key Scripture: Luke 6:38-39

Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Scripture: Romans 6:12-14

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies, so that you obey their desires. No longer present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
