Tim Davies takes a look at the first three chapters of Genesis to conclude that we were made to be fruitful and to have fruitful relationships. Adam and Eve were deceived to believe that what God had given to them was not enough and that they needed more. They failed to realise that the fruit should be given and not be taken. Receiving the fruit that God has given to us leads to freedom and intimacy; however, if we take fruit that is not rightfully ours, our selfishness leads to shame and nakedness. If we want to be fruitful, we need to keep in step with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5) and develop that relationship above all others. -------- For more information about Breathe New Life Church or if you'd like to make a decision to follow Jesus, visit our website here: https://breathenewlife.church/becomeachristian

It’s easy to say we follow Jesus, but are we actually keeping in step with Him? Galatians 5:25 reminds us that if we live by the Spirit, we need to walk with Him too—paying attention to His leading, making choices that reflect His heart, and trusting His direction. In this episode, Ash Couchman and Kate Willcox unpack what it looks like to stay close to God, even when life tries to pull us in a different direction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the Book of Galatians, we are reminded that true freedom in Christ isn't a license for self-indulgence, but rather an opportunity to love and serve others. This passage challenges us to 'walk in the Spirit,' a call to actively pursue God's guidance in our daily lives. By doing so, we are promised freedom from the pull of our sinful nature.

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! (Galatians 5:22–23 NLT)   The mood of John 14 was somber. Jesus was preparing His disciples for His departure. They were understandably dejected and upset. Jesus lifted their spirits with a promise: “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you” (verses 16–17 NLT). In other words, hang on. Something big is coming. God's going to send the gift of the Holy Spirit.   In the Book of Acts, we see the fulfillment of Jesus' promise. We see the powerful working of the Holy Spirit in the lives of ordinary people just like you and me. Ordinary people were able to do extraordinary things because they possessed a power beyond themselves. They possessed the power of the Holy Spirit.   Some people say it's really hard to be a Christian. I disagree. I say it's impossible to live the Christian life. It's impossible without the empowerment and help of the Holy Spirit. We need His power in our lives. We can't live the Christian life with only our own willpower. We live it with the Holy Spirit's power working in us. In Philippians 2:12–13, Paul says, “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose” (NIV). So we do our part, but ultimately, it's the Holy Spirit who does the work through us.   Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5 NLT). But Paul said, “I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13 NLT). With our power and strength, we can't overcome anything. With the Holy Spirit's power and strength, we can do all things through Christ.   The Holy Spirit doesn't just empower us; He also changes us. They say if you live with someone long enough, you start to take on some of their characteristics. That's certainly true of the Holy Spirit, who lives inside all believers. His presence plants spiritual seeds in us. If we nurture them, they produce fruit for everyone to enjoy, including love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These qualities make us better servants of Christ and better people. They draw others to us and open doors for sharing our faith.   One of the amazing truths about the Holy Spirit is that we can be filled with Him again and again and again. Every morning when we wake up, before our feet even hit the floor, we can pray, “Lord, fill me with the Holy Spirit today.” And He will grant our request.   We give thanks today for God's Holy Spirit, who empowers us, guides us, produces fruit in our lives, and never leaves us. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Only The Holy Spirit Can Help You Live In Freedom

God wants you to live in freedom in every area of your life. But you need help: the help of the Holy Spirit. The greatest declaration of freedom comes from the writings of the apostle Paul, in the book of Galatians 5:1 which states: ‘It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.'   The book of Galatians, which has often been described as the Magna Carta of Christianity, proclaims that all true freedom is rooted in Jesus Christ, through following His teachings and by knowing Him. That freedom, which begins with us experiencing personal spiritual freedom, leads to many other freedoms in life and in society. But it is within the church, the Christian family, that the battles of freedom must first be won. To set others free, we ourselves must first be free. We can only share what we have experienced.    In the first four chapters of this book the apostle Paul highlights a major killer of freedom, namely so-called religious Christianity or legalism. In the early church there were powerful religious groups who insisted on following Jewish traditions and practices like circumcision. Paul however even more strongly insisted that all true faith is based on Christ alone. Only though Christ's death and resurrection we can be forgiven for all our sins and freed to live a new life as sons and daughters of God, rather than as slaves. That's God's plan and vision for every Christian. But how do we live in the freedom that Christ has provided for us? How can we avoid the big trap of always trying to live right through our own actions and strength? The answer is that we need to recognise our need for the help of the Holy Spirit. Only the Holy Spirit can help you live in freedom.    Galatians 5 continually emphasises the importance of living in the Spirit, because no Christian and no church can live in freedom without the Holy Spirit. The church is a spiritual entity. The church is engaged in spiritual battle. Every Christian and every church must therefore be filled with the spirit. Everything that will be achieved will be achieved through the Spirit (Zechariah 4:6). Human gifting, logical thinking, natural resources and religious traditions will accomplish nothing without the Spirit. On the other hand, we may feel weak and lacking in many areas, but with the Spirit we can accomplish great things. That's why the apostle Paul says we must ‘live by the Spirit.” In this chapter we see some big lessons about the importance of the Holy Spirit.   1. Only by living by the Holy Spirit can you overcome sin (Galatians 5:16-21)  2. Only by living by the Holy Spirit can you become more Christlike (Galatians 5:22-24 NIV & AMP)  3. Only by living by the Holy Spirit can you keep in step with the direction of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25-26).  Apply  1. Only by living by the Holy Spirit can you overcome sin (Galatians 5:16-21). We are called to live by the Spirit turning your back on a lifestyle that is contrary to a lifestyle of the Spirit. Martin Luther spoke of a three-fold battle in the Christian life. The Christian is locked in mortal combat with the world, the flesh and the devil. The Apostle Paul makes clear the total contrast between living life by the Spirit of God or one according to the sinful nature. He clearly outlines the ugly works of the flesh. Uncontrolled sexual and physical appetites: sexual immorality, purity, debauchery, drunkenness, orgies and the like; Uncontrolled ambitions: selfish ambition, jealousy, envy, factions; Uncontrolled temper: hatred, discord, fits of rage, dissension; Uncontrolled spiritual rebellion: idolatry and witchcraft. Remember when Paul writes about these sins, he is writing to a Christian church and telling them that they can't have sexual sin in their lives, they can't have hate and anger in their lives, they can't be rebellious, and they can't be doing the work of the Devil. Someone may claim to be a Christian or a good religious individual. They may have been on the church board or sung in the church choir but in reality, the person who continually practices these sins will not inherit the kingdom of God. The Bible could not be clearer on this. You cannot and must not live in contradiction to the Word of God.   2. Only by living by the Holy Spirit can you become more Christlike (Galatians 5:22-24 NIV & AMP). When the Apostle Paul says, ‘live by the Spirit,' He is outlining an alternative way to live. The Christian disciple, and the Christian leader, is to live a life controlled by the Holy Spirit. If we want to live free as children of God, we need to have the evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It's not enough to say we are Christians; the fruit of the Spirit means that we must have Christlike characteristics in our lives. Every day people must see the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, especially our families, close friends and colleagues. We cannot just be religious by simply talking about Jesus, saying that we will pray for people or serving in the church. It must be increasingly obvious every day that we have the good fruit of the Spirit in our lives. Ask yourself, am I becoming more: Loving, Joyful, Peaceful, Patient, Kindness, Full of goodness, Faithful, Gentle, and Self-controlled. If you are struggling in any of these areas, then you cannot accept that this is normal behaviour for a Christian. It's a sign you haven't died to your flesh, so you need to come to the cross and crucify or put to death your passions and desires and your ego and image and live a new life with the help of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wants to help us in our weaknesses and He is the only one who can help you change even in the areas that seem impossible for you to change. For when you live close to the Holy Spirit all this beautiful fruit will be seen in your life.  3. Only by living by the Holy Spirit can you keep in step with the direction of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25-26). The Holy Spirit, like the wind, is always moving. He is always wanting to guide us and direct us just like He directed the apostle Paul to city after city. The Holy Spirit wants to continually lead us so that we never fall back into old ways of pride and provoking and being jealous of one another. Living in the Spirit means that you begin to know the Lord more and more as you read His word and listen and obey the voice of God. When you keep in step with the Holy Spirit you will no longer make decisions based on emotions or on what you think or what you feel or what the media or your friends say. Living in the Spirit means that you are no longer independent of God's will for your life, doing what you want. Rather you will be confident in your growing relationship with the Holy Spirit to walk close to Him in every situation and circumstance, especially when making significant decisions. Dr Yonggi Cho, founding pastor of the world's biggest church, described the Holy Spirit as his ‘senior partner', saying ‘without fellowship with the Holy Spirit there can be no spiritual life, no faith with power and victory.' We too need to constantly develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit, listening to His voice, being sensitive to His direction and moving in step with Him. The Holy Spirit wants to come and be a key friend and partner to you. As you learn to live by the Spirit you will become a great disciple and a great leader. Maybe you are still struggling with the desires of your flesh or struggling to leave old habits. Today repent of your sins, fully surrender your life to Jesus and ask the Holy Spirit to help you.

Overcoming Lust in the Power of Jesus' Name • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give In today's world, lust is pervasive and persistent, infiltrating our lives through various mediums. The Bible warns us of the dangers of lust and provides us with the tools to overcome it. As Christians, we are called to live holy lives, free from the chains of lust. Today, we will explore why lust is so pervasive and how we can overcome it through the power of Jesus' name. 1. Lust in the Present Age: 1 John 2:16 (NKJV):"For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world." 2. The Consequences of Lust: James 1:14-15 (NKJV):"But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death." 3. The Call to Holiness: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 (NKJV):"For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God." 4. The Power of the Holy Spirit: Galatians 5:16-17 (NKJV):"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish." 5. Renewing the Mind: Romans 12:2 (NKJV):"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." 6. Guarding the Heart: Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV):"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." 7. Fleeing Temptation: 2 Timothy 2:22 (NKJV):"Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." 8. Setting Our Minds on Heavenly Things: Colossians 3:2-5 (NKJV):"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God... Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry." 9. God's Faithfulness in Providing a Way Out: 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV):"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." 10. Living by the Spirit: Romans 8:12-13 (NKJV):"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live."

Proverbs 16:32 It's good for us to ask the question: “What matters most in life?” Time and again the book of Proverbs helps us to think through this question. Many people would assume that it is good to be powerful, to have control of people and even whole communities. But the writer observes that it is far more important to have patience and self-control than great power and influence. He is talking about what the New Testament describes as the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The Bible never suggests that it is wrong to have wealth or power. If either of them have come your way, give thanks to God! What matters is that we keep them in their proper place. They are nowhere near as important as living for God with the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control that he gives to all those who walk in his ways. Money and power come and go. But the fruit of the Spirit is of a completely different nature, being as eternal and indestructible as God himself. As ever, the focus of Proverbs is on helping the reader to live life to the full. The writer's many severe words of warning always have the intention of helping the reader to avoid pitfalls and disaster. He sees living for God as the most exciting and desirable way to live, which not only brings blessing to us as individuals but to all those around us as well. Choosing God's way is often not the easiest path but it's always the best. Question Be honest: What matters most to you in your life? Prayer Thank you Lord that you love me so much that you share the unvarnished truth with me. Help me to seek the fruit of your Holy Spirit before anything else. Amen

August 21, 2023 Daily Devotion: "Complete Dependence with God" Ezra 4:1-3 New International Version 4 When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a temple for the Lord, the God of Israel, 2 they came to Zerubbabel and to the heads of the families and said, “Let us help you build because, like you, we seek your God and have been sacrificing to him since the time of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here.” 3 But Zerubbabel, Joshua and the rest of the heads of the families of Israel answered, “You have no part with us in building a temple to our God. We alone will build it for the Lord, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, commanded us.” The Israelites had returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. But many opposed their efforts, and were, in fact, quite clever. First, they offered to help. What better way to cause things to go wrong than to get involved in the work? When their aid was rejected, the enemies set out to discourage and scare the Israelites. They were successful in stopping the work—temporarily. But “the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews,” and the work was finally able to proceed (Ezra 5:5). The Lord took care of the mountain of opposition before them. What that means is, sometimes He will remove the problem; at other times He'll walk with us through it. But either way, He wants us to depend on Him. This means choosing Patiently, Wisely guide others toward godliness. Follow scriptural principles, Have divine contentment in our current circumstances. Do God's work His way. Our work should be characterized by dependence on the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16). While that mindset is countercultural, it's the only way to live as a child of God. Seek out others who regularly try to follow the Spirit's leading, and spur each other on to live it out. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gerzon-etino/message

Christian Ethics and the BibleA. The Bible and ethics. See J. Douma, Responsible Conduct (Presbyterian and Reformed, 2003)Bible at completely true in all it affirms, the standard for truth (sola Scriptura), and applicable to all of lifeBible as a guide (Psalm 119; 2 Tim. 3:15-16), the ultimate authority.Bible as a compass, provides and orientation, but not specifics on some matters; a way of life (Proverbs [wisdom and folly], Ecclesiastes, Deuteronomy 30)Bible as a source or moral and immoral examples, narratives (Historical books of OT; Jesus in Gospels, Hebrews 11)Two errors in appealing to the Bible for ethics:1. Biblicism: the letter of Scripture without context and sense of placement in redemptive history. 2. Latitudinarianism: Scripture shorn of authority, diluted, distorted by contemporary tastes, preferences, orientations. Theological liberalism. See Nadia Bolz-Weber, Shameless, “progressive Christianity.”II. Three categories of lawCeremonial lawCivil law - When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof (Deuteronomy 22:8)Moral law: Ten CommandmentsIII. Three Uses of the Law (Calvin, Institutes, book 2, chapter seven)A. Constraint on evil (1 Tim. 1:9-10): barricadeB. Condemnation of sinners, pedagogical use (Galatians 3:24): mirror Lutherans emphasize this as the primary function.C. Guidance for the godly (Jer. 31:33; Romans 15:4; Heb. 10:16): yardstick IV. Uniqueness of Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-18; Deut. 5)A. Sinai Event itself occasioned by special signs (Exodus 19)B. Torah within the Torah: “summarily comprehends” the moral law (Westminster Larger Catechism)C. Emphasis on the Ten Commandments throughout Scripture D. Justification and sanctification V. Understanding the CommandmentsA. View in light of (1) original situation and (2) larger canonical setting, particularly the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7)B. Two tables of the Law (see Matthew 22:37-39)C. Eight principles for interpreting the Ten Commandments: Westminster Larger Catechism.Consider three1. What are the duties required?2. What at the sins prohibited?3. What are the blessings of obedience?VI. Pursue virtue; avoid vice (Matthew 5:1-16)A. Fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5)22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other (Galatians 5:22-26)B. Gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12-14)C. Don't let the gifts get ahead of the fruits: God's work in you is prior and more important than God's work through you (ministry)D. Works of the flesh (Galatians 5)19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21).VII. ConsequencesA. Do as much good as you can for as many as you for as long as you can without breaking God's law or grieving the Holy Spirit.B. Blessings for obedience to covenant (Deuteronomy 8, 28, etc.)C.

Recap Title: How To Have The Most Fruitful Life Series: Discovering The Real Jesus Key Text: John 15:1-17 Key Message: The God of the Bible is the God who wants the world he created to be fruitful. God wants every person on earth, every family and every church to be fruitful. Time and again in the scriptures we see how the blessing of God caused individuals, families and communities to flourish, often after times of great difficulty (Genesis 1:28; Genesis 12:2-3; Genesis 15:5-6; Genesis 49:22; Psalm 107:37-38 & Colossians 1:6) As we continue our series on ‘Discovering the Real Jesus', we see that Jesus Himself gave some important teaching on fruitfulness in chapter 15:1-17. He begins in verse 1 with one of the seven famous I am statements found in this gospel. John 15: 1 says: “I am the true vine….” Jesus is using the picture of a grapevine, where a single vine supports many branches and produces many grapes. In the Passover meal the fruit of the vine symbolised God's goodness to His people. Fruitfulness is dependent on relationship with Jesus (John 15:1, 4-5, 7, 9-14, 17; 2 Timothy 3:16; Colossians 3:16; Galatians 5:22-23) Remain connected with Jesus Remain in His word Remain in His Love Fruitfulness involves a process (John 15: 1-2, 6; Hebrews 12:11) Cutting off Cutting back Fruitfulness will bring great results (John 15:5, 8, 16, Acts 11:26) Abundant fruit Lasting fruit Apply For many people relationship with God is the very last thing that they would consider if they want a fruitful and fulfilling life. Rather they would focus on romantic relationships, business relationships and the pursuit of sex, money, power, pleasure, position, drink and drugs. However, you can never have a truly fruitful life if you keep God out of the picture. What Jesus is teaching here is very simple; you need to be connected to God if you want life. Christ is the root and source of life. The branches are the followers of Jesus. But it's not enough to just become connected; you need to stay connected and this is the emphasis of the teaching Jesus gives here. Remain connected with Jesus - (John 15:1, 4-5) - The word “abide” or “remain,” which is from a Greek word meaning to abide, dwell, live, remain. The thought here is of ongoing relationship and continuity. All relationships need constant attention. We need to stay close to God in the face of many things that can pull us away. Are you connected with Jesus? Do you need to daily develop your relationship with Jesus? So that His life can flow to us and through us. Remain in His word - John 15:7 - Each time Jesus Himself was tempted by the Devil He came back at him with the words of Scripture. (2 Timothy 3:16; Colossians 3:16) You must not ignore the Bible or be complacent about reading and studying it. If you want a fruitful life, a fruitful family, a fruitful church, then the words of Jesus must be constantly in our hearts, our minds and speech. Do you study and rely on God's word? Do you understand and believe that once we learn and trust the word of God, we can experience a completely fruitful life. Remain in His love – John 15:9-14 - Love is at the very heart of Christianity and must be very evident if we wish to be fruitful in our lives, homes and ministries. The fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Here Jesus commands us to love others as He has loved us, starting with the love amongst Christian brothers and sisters. Love is not an option. It is something Jesus repeatedly insists on. If you want to have a fruitful life, then you must love God and love people. It's as simple as that. So, fruitfulness is dependent on our relationship with Jesus. Do you have God's love at the centre of your life? Do you see yourself as His child and see God as your father? Fruitfulness involves a process - Fruitfulness is not automatic. Just like the necessity of being formed as a disciple, so each Christian needs to go through a process to be productive. Cutting off (John 15:1-2, 6) - God wants to cut out those things in our lives that stop us being productive. Sinful actions, wrong habits, bad attitudes, ungodly relationships all have to go if you are going to be in the right condition to be used by God. Throughout history all spiritual revivals begin with movements of repentance when there is a cutting out of what is unfruitful and unfaithful. Cutting back (John 15:2) - Fruitful branches are cut back, often dramatically, to produce further growth. Pain, sorrow, sickness and suffering, loss, bereavement, failure, disappointment and frustrated ambition are some of the ways your life may be pruned. But actually, you can grow in your relationship with God and dependence on God through these times. (Hebrews 12:10-11) God's pruning in your life is to get you prepared for greater blessing. Fruitfulness will bring great results - We can see far greater fruitfulness than we may imagine in our personal lives, in our families and in the church. Here Jesus was addressing his disciples and enlarging their vision about what would happen when they lived close to him. Abundant fruit (John 15:5, 8) - Jesus had shown the disciples how to feed the multitudes. But it was on the day of Pentecost when 3000 people were added to the church that the disciples understood that they too would now minister to very large groups of people. Lasting fruit (John 15:16) - Acts 11:21 we read of how a great church grew quickly at Antioch after some ordinary Christians had shared the good news of Jesus. These new people didn't drift away but were consolidated in their faith. Verse 26 says: So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.' Do you want to live the most fruitful life? Do you want to see greater fruitfulness in your family and in the church? Make sure you have a close relationship with Him, let Him prepare you and increase your level of fruitfulness that will show that you are a truly a disciple of Christ who will bring great glory to God.

Isaiah 58 seems to go further and suggest that, fasting is both denying the desire of the flesh, as well as defying the desire of the flesh. Defying the desire of the flesh means, we deliberate choose to go against the flesh, doing what is opposite to the desire of the flesh. The flesh breeds self-centeredness, we give to bless others, “if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.” (Isaiah 58:10). The flesh is inclined to contention, quarrels, strife, envy, lust, etc – the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). However, in fasting, we deliberately choose the way of the Spirit, love, patience, peace-making, goodness, etc (Galatians 5:22-23). Fasting is to deliberately yield to the Holy Spirit. In order to defy the desire of the flesh successfully, 2 things we need which we can learn from the example in the life of Jesus. Before Jesus was led to the wilderness to face the devil's temptation, He was baptized and was filled with the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16). Secondly, when Jesus was tempted by the devil to yield to the desire of His flesh – hunger, He used the word of God to answer. Jesus did not merely quoting Scriptures from His time of meditation, but He in fact lives in the truth of God's words. He has made up His mind to submit Himself to the authority of God's word, “every word that comes from the mouth of God”. In fasting, we defy the 2 things from our flesh. The flesh is at enmity with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:17), and the flesh is rebellious towards God's will. We defy these desires of the flesh by choosing to be filled by the Holy Spirit, to be led by Him and to be intimate with Him. We choose to meditate on God's words, seek the revelation of God's truth through His words, and yield our lives to His words. All these take effort! That's the fasting that leads to: And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in. (Isaiah 58:11-12) Prayer Focus Ask the Lord to reveal to you how you have acted in your flesh in any way which resulted in pain, broken relationships, failure, losses, etc. Repent and ask for the Lord's forgiveness. Pray for the rebuilding of ruins in your life, your family, etc which are the consequences of your sins, generational iniquities and works of your flesh.

How To Spot A Real Christian

The King's Church International Audio Podcast

How do you spot a real Christian? How do you know if someone is truly walking the walk as a follower of Jesus Christ and not just talking the talk? Christians are Christ ones. The Greek word 'Christianos' meaning "follower of Christ", comes from another Greek word 'Christos' meaning "anointed one". The term 'Christian' stuck, not least because the first disciples were happily and unashamedly identified with Jesus. No one could doubt that they were committed followers of Christ. And that should be the same for every Christian today.But we need to ask ourselves an old question: ‘if you were arrested for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you?' We see in Acts 11:19-26 and Acts 13:1-3 some key characteristics that caused these believers in Antioch to be called Christians.1. Christians are good news people (Acts 11:19-21; Luke 2:10-11; Luke 4:18; Matthew 4:23)2. Christians are good people (Acts 11:22-24; Galatians 6:22)3. Christians have a good grounding in the Word of God (Acts 11:25-26; John 14:23; Matthew 7:24)4. Christians are on a mission to change the world for good (Acts 13:1-3)ApplyDo you confidently share the good news of Jesus? The Christian message got a large following in Antioch because the disciples were very positive in their approach and message (Acts 11:19-21). The Bible makes clear that while negative religion is bad news Jesus is very good news (Luke 2:10-11; Luke 4:18; Matthew 4:23). The first Christians, like all of us today, lived in a world where there was so much bad news. Yet we see here in the book of Acts that even when they were persecuted, they could not and would not stop sharing the good news about Jesus. They never wasted their time in fruitless debates or on general talk about religion. They confidently asserted that:• Jesus was God in approachable human form, the Promised Messiah come to earth;• Jesus loves all people unconditionally;• Jesus is a miracle worker who can heal people's hearts and bodies;• Jesus can forgive people for their sins and free them from guilt and occult power;• Jesus really was crucified but that He came back to life as conqueror of death;• because of that central event of the resurrection, Jesus gives us all the certain promise of eternal life so that we don't have to fear death; and• we too can know the power of God that raised Christ from the dead and become citizens of his joyful, holy and unshakeable kingdom.They gave people a message of enduring and eternal hope that inevitably comes with faith in Jesus. When people hear the good news and see it shining out of the lives of real Christians there is often a very enthusiastic response. Amazing things happened here in Antioch when the first Christians shared their faith and went to those of different nations and backgrounds, Greeks as well as Jews (Acts 11:21). Today people are far hungrier for the good news of Jesus than you may imagine. Is your life an example of how real Christians are good people? When these new Christians needed to be strengthened in their new faith, Barnabas was the man the church in Jerusalem sent to help them because he was ‘a good man' (Acts 11:22-24). People could see he was a genuine man, full of the Holy Spirit, who encouraged people and built them up, not put them down. He was a man of faith who visualized how all these new Christians could continue to develop as faithful and wholehearted disciples. Now sometimes, for different reasons, we back off from saying Christians are good people, but today there are those who increasingly take every opportunity to criticize and even demonize Christians as bad people. So it's time that we were more bold in declaring that real Christians are good people. A real Christian is a good person in a world where there are a lot of bad people (if someone claims to be a Christian but continually speaks and does bad things then they are not a real Christian). A real Christian, like Barnabas, will be full of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 6:22). When people come into contact with a real Christian they should soon recognize, whether or not they agree with Christianity, that the person standing before them is basically a good person. Even though every Christian is of course a work in progress, we should aim as John Wesley put it to: 'Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.' Do you have a good grounding in the Word of God? For one year Barnabas and Saul faithfully focused on giving sound scriptural teaching so that the many new Christians would have a solid Biblical foundation for their faith (Acts 11:25-26). The early Christians didn't just witness miraculous signs and wonders and live on exciting testimonies, important as all this was; also like the disciples in Jerusalem in Acts 2:42 they were ‘devoted to the apostles teaching.' A real Christian will love the Scriptures because they speak of Jesus and help us know God and hear from Him (John 14:23; Matthew 7:24). As the great preacher C.H. Spurgeon put it, a well used ‘Bible that's falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn't.'Are you living out your mission to change the world for good? The first Christians believed that positive and lasting change in the world starts with change in the heart when people turn from their sins and follow Jesus. And that's the message the church at Antioch were determined to spread throughout the great cities of the Roman empire and the nations of the world (Acts 13:1-3). This was when the spread of gospel went into turbo mode as the apostle Paul began his epic missionary journeys that would eventually lead him to declaring the gospel in Rome itself. Today every real Christian can be easily spotted because they are on a mission to change the world for good and for God by going and making disciples of all nations.

Scripture Reading: Revelation 11:3-5 “I will appoint my two witnesses and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” Revelation 11:3 The “two witnesses” in this story represent the place and the purpose God gives to his church and, by association, to every person who has faith in Jesus. The church is a witnessing community—this is who we are and what we do. We witness to each other and to our communities how life is to be lived “in step with the Holy Spirit” (Galatians 5:25)—“to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly” with God (Micah 6:8). We do this because Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth. . . . You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:13-14). We are his witnesses. We need to let this identity define us. There is a persistent notion limiting God’s claim on who we are. We have learned to look to preachers, missionaries, chaplains, and evangelists as full-time kingdom witnesses. But God makes no such distinctions. All who come to Jesus in faith are recipients of the Holy Spirit, who sends us into the world as witnesses (Matthew 28:19-20). Roofers, students, nurses, teachers, miners, chefs, volunteers—all people—are sent to share the good news of life made new in, through, and for Jesus. The “two witnesses” are not dressed in the latest designer clothing. God dresses us in sackcloth. This is a subtle but firm reminder that we need to drink from the same well of repentance and forgiveness as everyone else does. We witness in humility, not self-­righteousness or pride. Thank you, Jesus, for the honor of being your witnesses. Please keep us humble, we pray. Amen.

Jesus didn’t say, “Earn this” from the cross. He said, “It is finished.” The message of Jesus is a message of Grace. And so many people and Christians don’t really understand what Grace really is… and so they go through life aiming at the wrong targets and they feel shame and condemnation and live under a fear of failure?…They live performance-oriented, perfection-driven lives and they end up discouraged and depressed, because they feel like they can never measure up… no matter how hard they try, they just can’t seem to “earn this”…And so lets be clear this morning… You can’t earn this. God’s love, God approval, God’s favor… You can’t earn it…. But you can have it… By grace through faith.Grace= the unmerited, undeserved, unearned kindness and favor of God. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Isaiah 64:6Our best efforts apart from Jesus are worthless.Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.Grace is when you get what you DON’T deserve.John 10:10 I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].Romans 3:24 All are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Galatians 4:4 When the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.By Grace We Have Been AdoptedGalatians 4:4&5 God sent forth His Son… that we might receive the adoption as sons.

A slave has a master.A son has a father.You’re an HeirGalatians 4:7 You are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Romans 8:17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,We have to understand and believe based on what Jesus has done, so we can walk in all that Jesus has won.You don’t have to earn it, but you do have to endorse it, you have to believe it and stand for it.Holy Spirit Galatians 4:4 When the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons,God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son nto your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” NOTE TO SELF: I CAN’T EARN THIS

We can't live God's way on our own. We need a helper, a friend, a comforter, a guide. We need to know how we can come close and stay close to Jesus. This is why we need to Live By The Spirit; the Holy Spirit is all of these things. Jesus said that when He returned to heaven the Holy Spirit would be our helper in our daily walk with God and our daily work for God. In this new series, let's discover how to Live By The Spirit as instructed in 1 Corinthians 3:1 and Galatians 5:25.Further Scripture: Galatians 6:1, John 15:26, 1 Samuel 2:21Key Points:* We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 4:31)* We need to stay close to the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30, 1 Thess. 5:19)* We need to keep in step with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25)Apply The Word:What atmosphere do you live in? Do you live in the presence of peace or distress? Do you live in the presence of joy or sadness? Do you live in the presence of love? What happens if you measure your environment by the fruit (Galatians 5:22-23)? All of us live in a real world; a world that is both physical and spiritual. Just as we have to choose what physical environment we dwell in, we have to choose what spiritual environment we live in; either the spirit of darkness or the Holy Spirit, and the spirit of light.We need to live by the Holy Spirit not just occasionally, momentarily. Not just at a small group, service, or conference. We need to live by the Spirit every moment of every day.We need to choose today to live in the atmosphere of the Holy Spirit, which we can measure by our experience of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). If we aren't experiencing that fruit, we need to change our spiritual environment to live by the Spirit. Spend time in prayer asking the Lord to open your eyes to the spiritual environment you live in and fill you completely with the Holy Spirit.

Every one of us is born into moral and spiritual destitution. In case you’re wondering what “destitution” means, here it is: “poverty so extreme that one lacks the means to provide for oneself.” Really we’re worse than destitute. Listen to how Paul put it:“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins…” (Ephesians 2:2) Dead? Yes, dead! You can’t get any more “destitute” than that!But the follower of Jesus has been restored. We are not only forgiven; we have been “raised us up with Christ and seated…with Him in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 2:6). We’ve received not only provision; we’ve received resurrection power!And to top it all off, we’ve been given His Spirit to constantly abide in us. He (the Holy Spirit) is not only our constant “traveling companion.” He is the “river of life” Himself! Remember this precious proclamation made by our LORD on a Jewish feast day some 2000 years ago that “rivers of living water will flow” from within all who believe in Him? Those rivers are embodied by His Spirit! And whether we know it or not, those rivers are alive in us!As a follower of the risen Messiah, you have a well inside of you. You have a never-ending stream of living water flowing inside of you. That’s right: YOU! “All my fountains are in You.” When I became a follower of Jesus, He took all my fountains (that is, the “streams” in my inner being of hopes, dreams, personality, etc.) and made them tributaries to flow into His fountain. And His fountain is a source of resurrection power not only for me but for the world around me!Take time today to submit to the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25; Jude 20). Let Him harness your inner fountains into the flow of His fountain—and expect your life to be transformed into a fountain of resurrection power for the world around you!Read the full devotion at https://devotableapp.com/daily-devotion-psalm-36-9-the-fountain-of-life/

Day 7 – Acquiring Spiritual Joy “Means for acquiring Joyfulness: 1. Ask the Lord for joyfulness. Joy or cheerfulness is the second fruit of the Holy Spirit [Galatians 5:22]. Blessed [John] Berchmans [1599-1621] was always so joyful that many called him Saint Leto [joy] and Saint IIario [laughter]. Joy was a grace he daily prayed for at Mass. 2. Think frequently of the Lord and thank Him for the goods that we possess and hope to possess. For example, thank him for the grace of God that we possess, and for the Paradise that we hope for. Let us go often to take from the Angels and Blessed above, an air of joyfulness, thinking that from now on we are citizens of Heaven and fortifying ourselves in Christian hope. 3. Perform good deeds with holy readiness and simplicity. Do things with good intention. Do them immediately, without reasoning too much on them, becoming over-reflective. Rather, cut off all ruminations, saying to oneself: ‘I should not dwell on this, one needs only to do what is good.’ Likewise, it is helpful to act with holy freedom of spirit, despising every fear that is not founded on offending God, not waiting for tomorrow that which you can do today.” The post A Novena in Honor of Ven.

Series: Unhindered Sermon: Unhindered Through Church Struggles Scripture: Acts 6:1-7 Date: March 24, 2019   He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ - with all boldness and without hindrance! (Acts 28:31, series verse) LAST WEEK'S WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Give that biggest fear to God and take an action step toward being unhindered by it. Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.  Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables.  Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word."  And the saying pleased the whole multitude.  And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.  Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.  (Acts 6:1-7) How God can use church challenges to unhinder us: Growth includes struggles "I'd rather be a part of a growing church with problems than a dead church that has none."  -Adrian Rogers The devil has tried to destroy the infant church by persecution from without, then by deception within, and now by sowing seeds of dissension from within. God does not play favorites. "Murmuring is a half-uttered, half-concealed complaint - not that a person comes out and says to the right person, at the right time, in the right spirit, for the right reason, that something needs to be done."  -Adrian Rogers Guidance necessitates the Spirit How does God want us to handle the challenges? Purpose (Acts 6:2, 4) People (Acts 6:3) Good reputation Full of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) Are you going to be a help or a hindrance? Growth occurs in struggles

One of the things in your life that will continually need rescued is your relationships.   Relationships are all about connection.   Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NLT) Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble [Encouragement]. 11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone [Closeness]? 12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer [Value]. Three are even better, for a triple- braided cord is not easily broken. A Relationship Is A Living Thing And It Needs Continual Nurturing Or It Will Die! The First Relationship That Needs Rescued And Continually Rescued:   Your Relationship With God!   2 Things That Are Necessary To Have A Healthy Connection With God! 1. Time With God In His Word! Read On A Plan. 1 John 5:14-15 (NASB)  This is the confidence [boldness] which we have toward Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. 2. Time With God In Prayer! Pray On A Track The 4 Pillars of Prayer! 1. Worship Psalm 100:4-5 (NASB)  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. 5 For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness to all generations. 2. Repentance Check Your Love Life  [Gal. 5:6 - Faith works by love] 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NLT) Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.   3.

Message #320 "The Responses to the Gospel, Part II" - Acts 13:44-52 Sunday, April 22 2018 Here in the closing verses of Acts 13, we examine the rejection of the gospel by those with whom Paul and Barnabas shared Christ. We ask how should we respond when the word of God is rejected? When people reject the gospel, how do we stay encouraged? Opposition to the things of God that springs forth from envy - Matt 27:18; Mark 15:10; John 12:19 Responding to those who reject the gospel - Luke 6:22-23; Matt 5:11-12; We should expect to suffer for the name of Jesus - Acts 9:16; Acts 5:40-42 And yet as we abide in Christ (John 15), even when the gospel is rejected we can bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) Staying encouraged when the gospel we live and share with others is rejected, is the fruit of being rooted in Christ and having His word define our expectations and interpret our experiences. See Rom 5:1-5; 2 Cor 8:1-5; 1 Thes 1:6-10 We can be encouraged because we know the purpose of God in allowing rejection and trials. See 1 Peter 1:1-9; 1 Peter 4:12-19 Related verses: 2 Peter 3:18 Psalm 42:2 Mark 4:15 1 Peter 2:2 Deuteronomy 8:3 Matt 4:4 Luke 4:4 Calvary Chapel Reston Station 1950 Isaac Newton Sq.

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music

Tragedy changes the way we see things. Most often in the midst of tragedy, what is MOST important rises to the surface. Unfortunately, that clarity is often temporary when the "new normal" takes over. Meredith Andrew's song, "Spirit of the Living God," calls on the Holy Spirit to change "what we see and what we seek." My prayer is that it will be a permanent correction. We see glimpses of truths related to the Holy Spirit in Galatians. We'll sit there this week. On this episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Refer to an overview of the book Study a topic Narrow the area of Scripture and read in context The Color Method Observation Complete a word study Having a Biblical worldview (and what that means) Another episode where we learn specifically about the Holy Spirit - Episode #73 Favorite overviews provided by The Bible Project - The Bible Project: Galatians on YouTube New BITE!

In Galatians 3 Paul begins a series of arguments posed to the churches of Galatia and the false teachers, a Messianic Jewish sect, who insist that Gentile Christians be circumcised and follow Jewish festivals and food laws. His first argument, verses 1 - 5, appeals to their experience in receiving and witnessing the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. After he questions them about their former experience in receiving the Holy Spirit, he asks why would they feel the need to doubt their new identity in Christ through believing the Gospel. The fog of faith had settled and they began to doubt the simplicity of faith in Christ. They were eager for Jerusalem's validation, thus coming under the spell of the sect who sought to bring them back under the Law. The presence and purpose of the Holy Spirit is to make Christ present, to empower and transform God's people for mission, and to bring conviction of sin, revealing Christ as Lord and Savior of the world. Moving forward, our aim is to intentionally honor the presence and purpose of the Spirit in the work of salvation, to be truly Trinitarian and full recipients of the Promise to Abraham. We shall ask and expect that signs will follow the preaching of the Gospel. Holy Spirit, come and empower your Church ... for mission as much as renewal. May renewal be unto mission for the lost and the least. Questions: Does your understanding of salvation include experience with the Holy Spirit? (Consider Galatians 3:1-5) How do you handle the fog of faith? Do you find simply trusting God challenging?

WHO ought to be filled with the Holy Spirit? (Ephesians 5:18 ESV) II. WHEN should we be filled with the Holy Spirit? (Galatians 5:17 ESV) II. WHY do we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit? (Galatians 5:16 ESV) a. Because the Scriptures command it b. Because victory over the flesh requires it IV. WHAT does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? (Acts 4:7-13 ESV) V. How are we to be filled with the Holy Spirit? (1 John 1:12-16; 2 Corinthians 3:18) a. Foundational PRINCIPLE-we must meet certain conditions b. Relational PERSPECTIVE - Active passivity c. Spiritual PROCESS Occupied with Christ Know & Obey God's Word (Col. 3:16-17) Yield yourself to God (Rom. 6:13, 16, 19; 12:1) Confess & forsake sim (1 John 1:5-9, Prov. 28 VI. WHAT are the results of being filled with the Holy Spirit? (Ephesians 5:18-21 ESV) Fellowshiping (Horizontal) Worshiping (Vertical) Thanksgiving (Vertical) Submitting (Horizontal) Being 'filled' with the Holy Spirit.. or being 'empowered'…ought to be the 'normal' and 'continual' experience of every believer. The key to being filled with the Holy Spirit is to be completely 'occupied' by Christ and totally 'engaged' with Christ.
