Message Notes:

God wants to DO work in your life, but He doesn’t work alone. He only works in partnership

“For we are laborers together with God”  1 Cor 3:9 NKJV
“For we laborers with God” Aramaic Bible in Plan English
“We are co-workers with God” ISV

Co-workers - A person with whom one works, typically someone in a similar role or at a similar level within an organization.

Its a privilege to have God as a partner - imagine partnering up with Warrant Buffet for your business expansion.

God doesn’t work alone!  He requires your input, your creativity, your effort, your desire, and your faith.

There are 3 categories of people: 
Work without God - rely on their now strength, wisdom, resources and abilities to succeed in life

Expect God to do all the work  - passive in their activity, they say “if its Gods will it will happen”

Work with God - continuously commit they ways to God, they put action to their faith, take risk, bring their input and efforts to work along side with God

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phil. 4:13

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Tim. 4:7-8

If you do the possible God will do the impossible.

“Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."  When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.  So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.” Luke 5:5-7

We work as if everything depends on us and we pray as if everything depends on God.
