  1. Strengthening the Fortress Louis G. Hulsey October 24, 2012 Casa Grande, Arizona

  2. A Community of Believers • Living Waters Church is a community of believers. • Our church is a community like a tiny city. • LWC is like a tiny nation. • We are in a real war. • Satan is trying to destroy us from without and from within.

  3. A Tiny Nation • We can be in peace and harmony or we can have internal strife. • What is the state of our tiny nation?

  4. What are our strengths? • We have good worship. • We have good knowledge of Scripture. • We have good music. • We have many skills and some resources. • We have a vision.

  5. What are our weaknesses? • We have no money. • Many of our families are poor money managers. • We do not have Kingdom order in our homes? • Our children are receiving inferior education and training and will not be prepared to face the future. • Our children are victims of the “dumbing down” of America. • We have only some Kingdom order in our church.

  6. Our Economy • How about the economy of our tiny nation? • Our economy is in a terrible condition. • We are not prepared for war. • How can we win a war if we are dependent on our enemy for support?

  7. What We Must Do • Things we must do to survive and overcome. • Seek the Lord for a continued outpouring of His Holy Spirit • Cleanse our houses and families. • Set our homes and families in Kingdom order. • Have family devotions every day. • Protect our children from evil and train them with all the skills we have. • Teach our children to be extremely polite to each other.

  8. What We Must Do • Seek unity in the church. • Teach every person to become financially self-sufficient. • (Just because you were poor when you came to this church is no reason to stay that way.) • We must turn our skills and assets into money. • We must find needs in the world that we have resources to meet those needs.

  9. What We Must Do • We must turn our time into money • We must develop more streams of income. • We must live within our means. • We must not borrow money. • We must seek to become debt free. • We must seek to become drug free.

  10. What We Must Do • Proverbs 24:27, “Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.”

  11. Be Faithful • Luke 16:10-12 LITV • 10, “He faithful in the least is also faithful in much. And he unrighteous in the least is also unrighteous in much.” • 11, “Then if you were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust the true to you?” • 12, “And if you were not faithful in that of another, who will give to you that which is yours?”
