Don't Jump Ship
Can we celebrate Jehovah Jireh! The God who sees and the God who provides.
This year, 2025, is the year we Engage with God and Engage our Faith.
Engage with God and Engage your faith.
We are going after the detached, the drifted, and those who Don't Know!
Luke 19:9-10 “9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of
Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Our focus in 2025 is to ENGAGE!
Pursuit – to hunt, track down, go after, to seek with great intensity. From Heaven to Earth for You!!!
You will never have a heart for what you do not pray for.
As Jesus is about to depart he doesn’t leave us abandoned but gives us an introduction and also an
invitation. This invitation proves he is in a never-ending pursuit of proving his commitment to us.
John 14:16-17
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you anotherHelper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit
of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for
he dwells with you and will be in you.
John 14:25-26
25“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom
the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have
said to you.
John 15:26-27
26“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds
from the Father, he will bear witness about me. 27And you also will bear witness, because you have been
with me from the beginning.
John 16:7
7 “Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the
Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.”
As you get to know Holy Spirit, the objective is not a casual meeting but to connect, stay coordinated, and
work in cooperation.
You can only access the power once you are in a relationship with the person. The depth of the
relationship determines the amount of authority you operate in.
Could we be out of coordination and not in cooperation with the Holy Spirit because we haven’t properly
used the information?
Our relationship is like we are putting together a project without reading all of the instructions.
Most of us have always been taught that Jesus's last words were in Matthew 28: "Go into all the world.”
The truth is that the last words of Jesus were in Acts 1.
Acts 1:4-8 “4And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the
promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5for John baptized with water, but you will be
baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to
Israel?" 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own
authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."His last words were:
o Jesus said, “he ordered them not to depart.”
o Jesus said, “Wait for the promise.”
o Jesus said, “Not many days from now, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit”
Could we have missed our meeting because we’ve been taught to “Go,” when Jesus said to “wait.”
Because we missed the meeting, The Helper has become our Life Raft when He has the power of an
Aircraft Carrier.
Life Raft - a raft usually made of wood or an inflatable material and designed for use by people forced into
the water in emergency situations.
Today’s life rafts are usually equipped with a beacon or homing device so search and rescue can find the
location. The thing about a life raft is that you never want to have to use them.
The United States has 11 large nuclear-powered CATOBAR fleet carriers — each carrying around 80
fighters — the largest in the world, with the total combined deck space over twice that of all other nations
combined.
• Speed is a crucial attribute for aircraft carriers, as they must be able to be deployed quickly
anywhere in the world and fast enough to evade detection and targeting from enemy forces.
• High speed also increases the "wind over the deck", boosting the lift available for fighter jets to
carry fuel and ammunition.
• To evade nuclear submarines, the carriers should have a speed of more than 30 knots (35 mph;
56 km/h).
• Aircraft carriers are among the largest types of warships.
• An aircraft carrier must be able to perform increasingly diverse mission sets. Diplomacy, power
projection, quick crisis response force, land attack from the sea, sea base for helicopter and
amphibious assault forces, anti-surface warfare, defensive counter air, and humanitarian
aid & disaster relief are some of the missions the aircraft carrier is expected to accomplish.
• Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers can operate at sea for extended periods, typically 20 years
without refueling, with a predicted service life of over 50 years.
• An Aircraft Carriers can hold up to 6500 people.
• Aircraft Carriers are one of the most powerful forces in the military.
We have an unstoppable force given to us from heaven. He is the Holy Spirit and wants to be your
Aircraft Carrier.
The amount of access I give Him determines the amount of assistance He supplies. He is my Helper!
Do I trust who Jesus has introduced me to?
