The Rock San Diego – 1/11/09 – Time Potential

• God has given you time potential 
• Potential of time, talent and treasure
• Consider your potential not in worldly perspective, but from God’s perspective
• You will be judged based upon what you did with what God gave you
• You will be graded based on your personal potential (what God has given you)
• To whom much has been given, much is required
• Before you were born, God knew you, and He knew how He wanted to use your gifts and talents
• Chronos time = the duration of something
• Hairos time = a moment, an event
• In heaven, your chronos time and your hairos moments are the same…
  • He sees it all now
  • A thousand years is one day and one day is a thousand years

1. Because in heaven chronos and hairos times are established, we can plan accurately

• Reclaim the power of your time!
• If you can get in touch with God, He can give you your future
• There are some things that you have never seen and never heard that God wants to reveal to you now
• Ask God to show you yourself
• The Holy Spirit is there to assist you in making the right decision
• Let God guide your decisions.  If you don’t get an answer, keep asking and obeying.
• If you’re not good at something, maybe you’re not supposed to be good at it

2 – Because in heaven chronos and hairos are combined, our time can be accelerated

• Joes 2:25 – I will restore what the locusts have eaten in your life
• God can catch you up – relationships restored, physical restoration

3 – Because in heaven chronos and hairos are "now" in the eyes of God, chronos time can be converted to hairos time

• Your life can be one special moment 
• Your whole day – each second – is a hairos opportunity
• You can create hairos opportunities
  • Pray, thank someone, tell someone they are a blessing
• Acts 17: 24-38

4 – Because in heaven chronos and hairos are protected, we can be confident that we can finish what God has established us to do

• There is specific work that God will appoint only to you
• As long as you’re obedient, no one can take God’s appointment for you
• Follow the crumbs and you’ll get there
• Even "bad" moments can become hairos moments
  • Praise God for each moment and look for the opportunity to learn
• Find your ‘sweet spot’ where you can’t wait to wake up in the morning

5 – Because in heaven chronos and hairos are final, it is time for urgency

• Jesus Christ is coming back and you will be judged
• We are diamonds – we have no light in ourselves – our job is to reflect God’s glory back to Him
• He doesn’t want your power, He doesn’t want your ideas… He wants His 
• MAKE EVERY MOMENT A HAIROS MOMENT
• You needed saving because who you were was not good enough
• Satan will give you every reason that exists to continue to float through life

• At the beginning of each week, make a list of things you will do / accomplish in the coming week.
