12/28/2007 Here are my notes of this mornings message i Listened to by Jason PErcy on how great our God is….
Hebrews 1 God who at various times ,and ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets …God spoke…And remains the same yesterday and forever. You speak to me by your son. Every thing in the old testament points to Christ Jesus! The new testament epistles points us back to Jesus Christ in the old testament!!!!!!!!The same HE NEVER CHANGES! There are no new prophets…
There is no point if everything we do and are and breath does not point us to Christ… You live in me dear Lord. You are the hope in glory.Jerimiah 31 The old covenant: God giving commands… Israel broke his commands.A new covenant with His people…Because you live in meYou have written what you desire for me upon the tablet of my heart! It is in you that I shall find everything I hold dearlyMy strength and refuge God you are indeed Just …It is amazing to me that you chose me to be your daugther I sit in the palm of your hand…
You as a believer do not stumble into sin, but walk right back into it.You called me out of the house of bondage… bitterness ,unforgiveness, anger, drugs, alchohol, porn,…. These are some examples of sin… there is freedom in Christ and He delights to set us free…In Corinthians They were not , not saved they were sinning and being corrected.What do we put in front of Christ Jesus?Is it work?is it family?is it love for others more than God?our motivation, our friends, reading music, worship , ministry our selfish ambitions? what do we put before Him? We probably all have something… what do we idolize?
I fail miserbaly what do I allow to be more important to me than seeking the face of God? We say he is first.. What, though, does that exactly mean? For Christ to be first in our lives…?do you pray or play first? God, Forgive me for the times I put other things in front of you and people.. Anything dear Lord forgive me and help me to stay focused upon you and you alone Father…Anything that Is more important than you is an idol… How do we know what is right for us? only through the revelation of him self through His word…Help me to love you Dear Lord and keep your commandments!!!!Deut24:16Ezekial 18:19 Jer 31:30This message is so simpleChrist says Turn and live the message of the gospel is clear in these passages we are responsible for our own actions.Repent turn and have life everlasting life in Jesus Christ our Lord !
AMEN!!!That is awesome! If you are in Christ you are a new creature! All things have been made new…Everything has become new…. Even if there was something you grew up around you don’t have to do it just because they did it… If one generation of Israel turned away from God turning to serve idols it would take a couple of generations yet for that influence to be weeded out of their children. they were not cursed If I grow up with something all my life and that is all I know Guess what my infuelece will be? but God can break through al of that. AMEN !!!There is freedom in Christ… A repercussion to I doltiry. IF I make any other thing more important than the Lord it will affect my kids. But showing mercy to 1000thds of gerneratians to all those who love me will keep my commandments. What are we teaching our children the most important thing is in life? Not ministry, job anything first but Jesus First. My decision making should always be, Lord what do you desire? upon Your principle… your commandments are not greiveianced…. Oh how I love your law dear Lord!!!!
To obey is better than sacrifice…. I know that was long but the Lord truly is amazing… THe simple message of the Gospel remains… Turn And Live!!!!Amen,
HOpe you were all encouraged!
