I Will Conquer Pt.3 Whatever it Takes
Mark 5:21-24 NKJV
21 Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. 22 And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.
Mark 5:35-43 NKJV
35 While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” 37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38 Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly. 39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.”
40 And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement. 43 But He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.

When you look at your life and you compare it to the vision of what you thought it would be at this age of where you exist, are you happy where you are now? What would your life looked like if you would’ve set your intentions and committed to bringing that vision to pass. Would things be any different than things are right now? Having intentions is what we’re going to look at today. We’re right at the edge of possibilities and were going to learn the structure to pushing past the stress and strongholds that pull us into our past of giving up living and start now to work on a new ending for our life.
Gen 8:21 21 And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination[a] of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
II. SPIRITUALLY RECOGNIZE WHERE TO MAKE YOUR REQUEST
- Your Power Must Submit to His Presence

- Intentions come from within your mind.
- Intention is a covenant that you make with yourself of something your going to do or not do. Some goals you’re going to accomplish.
- To compromise this covenant is to compromise your integrity. Intention is a private dialogue that you have with yourself about something you’re going to do, become, or be.
- Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.“Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

- One conversation can change your destiny
- So we can conclude then that intentions are private promises that you have made to yourself that impact your destiny.
- So where you break strongholds is the intentions you make and keep to your dreams and visions.
- When you keep letting yourself off or not keep yourself accountable you will stay in the cycle of Strongholds. 10 20 years go by and you’re still there in regret “If I only would have let it let me go”. Jesus wanted to maximize the disciple’s potential.
- Intentions never have a plan b only have a plan a
- Hebrews 12:2-3 2 looking unto Jesus, the [a]author and [b]finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
- We give up and Faint in our mind because it’s taking to long.

- Many are so close to our dreams then we give up. We say if this doesn’t work I’m going to do this if that doesn’t work I’m going to do that. We are like the children of Israel where we wonder around the vicinity of success never crossing over into the Promise. The promises God has made are non-negotiable. Sometimes they seemed delayed
- Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Philippians 3:13-14 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Intentions put you in a position where going back is impossible and you are in a place where the only option is to win, succeed, prosper, conquer. With God nothing is impossible.

- Commitment grows out of intentions. Commitment is what transforms intentions into reality. It starts with a vision then it’s the mental energy that you use to convert that intention into action. I have to do this no matter what happens.

- It is the intentions that move you passed emotions
- It is the intentions that help you to push through when you are disappointed or betrayed
- It is the intention that gives you the discipline you need to come out and follow through.

Conclusion
Here’s the last thing nobody can intend for you. Nobody can commit for you. This is what you must do for yourself.
Think back on those moments when things could have turned out better if you only were committed to your intention. The place where you could have swam instead of sinking. What would your life be like right now? So when you look at your life and compare it to where you thought you would be right now, are you happy with your life, your financial state, your social state, and your spiritual life? If the answer is no, listen to me closely. Nothing is gained in regret that you could’ve did in the past. You cannot go back to the past to have a new beginning, but you can start now to have a new ending. What does that end look like? If you can get a picture of what that looks like and say I intend to …… heaven will provide the opportunities but you have to be intentional in pulling down casting down imaginations. No more plan b’s it’s only A because it’s what I say.
