3. PRODUCTIVE VERSE DO
a. Not Gripe about or think about – DO!!
b. Verb – word of action;
c. Christianity is not sitting it is striving
d. avg. Church Mbr has taken Eph 6:12 & emasculated
For we wrestle not - against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
4. PERVASIVE VERSE ALL
a. not some or most – ALL!!
Genesis 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD?

Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, You have made the heaven and the earth by Your great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for You:
5. PRECISE VERSE THINGS
a. every situation – every relationship – every “thing”
b. whatever you face put its name in place of “things”

6. PROVISIONAL VERSE THROUGH
a. small word –en = fixed position & instrumentality
b. only through a certain path and instrument
7. PERSON VERSE CHRIST
John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
