[Sooyoungro] 기본기 테스트에 통과하라 (tran: Pass through your basic skill test) by Pastor Kyu Hyun Lee

Date: September 1, 2014

Scripture: 1 King 17:1-7
Title: Pass through your basic skill test
Speaker: Pastor Kyu Hyun Lee
Lesson: 

Calling needs to be clear.  Your calling is about your identity.

Your own way vs. God's way: God's way is always better!

Basic skill training

1. training of being alone- this training is about internal self, requiring your spiritual power; God wants you to meet with Him through loneliness; sometimes, you would need to be left alone intentionally and temporarily; meet with Him at the end of your solitude: you need to face with Him alone

2. training of material power- 

Once you overcome material power, spiritual authority will be established.

Need to go through these trainings severely!

God wants you to lean on Him regarding those two areas. 

God is the way not making a way!; don't try to find ways by yourself.

God requires obedience from you, asking you to trust Him in all situations with no conditions

Live a truly simple life!

The sovereignty of your life is in Him. 

My Takeaway: 
I will practice leaning on Him in terms of my solitude and materials.
