Notes:
-Every environmental will perpetuate itself
-Every House is incubating something
-Zacharias & Elisabeth had a home ripe for a blessing (son)
-John the Baptist was going after changing homes, preparing the way for Jesus to affect EVERY home
-we need to change our hearts on the inside, not just outside
-We must start with changing our own house first!
-Goal: Get fire burning at home and KEEP it burning!!
-A healthy house has these things:
1. Unconditional love
2. Freedom with responsibility
3. Disagreeing without being disagreeable
4. Expectation to be powerful
5. Selflessly living for others while stating your own needs
6. Fun!
*What is your home ripe for? How will you cultivate it? How do you respond to disaster/blessing?
*What unhealthy ecosystem is in your home? What need does this meet for you? Repent. Ask God to exchange it for something!
