A baby has to grow and mature
God didn't just call pastors, etc... He has called all of
us
Accountability applies to what you have done AND
what you haven't done
No compromise
We are no more immature, like children
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly
“I am perfectly in place in the body of Christ”
As each part does its own special work, it helps the other
parts grow
“Keeping my thoughts under control” (Philippians 4:8)
If somebody don't like something,that you done or
something about who you are... they don't have
to... it's okay
Yesterday's issue was clarified
just now... Don't think about that which is impure, or of ill
report, etc.
I should not let anyone or
anything frustrate me
I can do something about being
frustrated
God don't intend that we
have any
frustration in any
area of my life, nor in any single instance
This was good, that was good,
and all of a sudden.... NO, NOT all of a sudden... Whatever
happened was over a period of time. Little, seemingly unnoticed
things led to and built up this “all of a sudden” condition,
or situation
We need to develop our
spiritual awareness
Job 37:14
– Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God
Psalm 46:10
- Be still and know that I am God
Hebrews 6:12
– Be not slothful... not just slow, but also sloppy – but
followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the
promises.
Faith comes by hearing the
Word. If I am distracted, HEAR more Word
No longer say, “what are you
going to do”... it used to be something I said often, during
circumstances when results were not as expected
|
He knows what I have need of
even before I ask about it
We call those things that be
not, as though they were
Sometimes I feel all alone... I
am NOT alone at any time
my spirit never sleeps
If I am easily distracted, my
prayer time and study time will suffer
In all my ways acknowledge
Him.. He will direct my path – THAT'S what I'm gonna do
“thank you, Lord of
growing me up quickly
Proverbs 28:20
– a faithful man shall abound with blessings
Acknowledge the “checkpoints”
- “reset the compass” - read the word, it is the checkpoint
and the compass
Deal with the issues in love...
speak the truth
If I yield to the flesh, I will
miss out on the blessing
Ephesians 4:15
– speak the truth in love – I will grow Spiritually in Christ
I need to be able to
concentrate and focus
Exercise discipline over my
flesh
I need to pray on my knees. I
cannot pray laying down or standing up, not even sitting... I
must pray ON MY KNEES
Speaking is attached to my
spirit – it is much more than talk – it effects every aspect
of my life – it effects what I do
The flesh is a follower, the
spirit leads
The
flesh isn't meant to lead
There is
a real battle between the flesh and the spirit
Matthew 8:5
– Speak the word only, and the miracle will occur
When we make Jesus marvel, we
have got something going on!
When we submit to God's
authority, and the authority of His word, we will understand on a
greater level the authority of truth when spoken from our mouth
We are like Jesus
We are under development,
spiritually
