Your confidence in life must be based on gods eternal decree

Jan 22God has said many things before and after creation which one applies to your life? How do you govern your life now?
Etenal decrees intervention decree and revised decree
Which decree is operational in your life.
Your confidence in life must be based on gods eternal decree
Eph 1 , col 1:15-19;9-14
What has god decreed in.your favor?
1. God has decreed to set the prisoner free.
From domain of darkness to oingdom ofthe son
Domain-jusrisdiction control capacity ability to enforce law greek. Power to destroy you kingdom of darkness. Natangap at point of conversion. Sinabi before eternity ginawa st preent eternity. We have been set free but do you have a hint pf darkness in your life? Compare to real life prisoners being set free.

2. God has decreed the punishable free.
V.13 it is no longer a judicial issue sins have been paid if a christian lies he sins but he is not punishable. But buhay sa mundo maaring maging impyerno. There is a forgiveness of sins. But does eho have not accepted god will suffer the pits of hell.

3. God has decreed to set the powerless free.
V9-12 alipin ninsatan at ng kasalanan. I can be what god wants me to be. Makes you very powerful.
Flowers live to bring glory to jesus christ just the same as we should be. "for him and by him" for him principle.. Iba nabubuhay para sa blessing hindi sa giver ofthe blessing.

Does god really matter?

Jan 21P vic
God's perfect will in your will.
Makes all the difference in the world
When we fail to see the world the way gd wants us to see it, were destined for despair
When we fail to see the light in the times of darkness as god promised were destined for depression
What we need to be as god commanded were destined for disappointment
When. We fail to see ourselves for who we are in light of gods purpose in us; were destined for destruction.

Deepness how we believe in the word of god.
Spirituslity -the nature of ones relationship with god and how that relationship impacts his entire life
Private momnets with the lord generate powerful spiritual experience: set a definite time to be with the lord
Dr j maxwell if u want to keep moving up to your potential, you can t cling to the security of what you now possess.
Growing in his lordship is the key in discoverin his perfect will
Col 3:23-24
How? Choose that which glorify grieve the lord. Whatever! Not being selective of what to glorify with the lord. "what is the reason why you uave chosen w hat you have chosen? What have you done that glorify the lord? "

Eh 1and 4 sunday preaching

To understan dcorrect spirtuality today we need to know the roots of eternity
Descrbin spirituality
A lifestyle tha relfects you belie in god is and about what god wants to see in your daily life
Our contention
Correc spirituality today is that which traces it roots to what god has said and did in eternity padt
Eph1:3-7
Jesus looks at you and he sees you as perfect
Unarguable conclusions from these verses.
By gods deceee made in eternity past
1. A no. Of people chosen to be holy and blameles
2. Predestined to become his sons
3. Redemeed by his blood and forgiven of their sins
4. Assigned specific blessings in and through jesus christ
Eph 4:1
Eph 1 describes the roots of spirituality
4 dscribes the actual manefestations f this spirituality that is rooted in eternity
This much is true
The specific number to be aave d has a specific spirituality expected of them as gods chosen people matt 7:21
An pagigin spiritual ay nakabase sa sinabi ng panginoon.
The main transistion question

1. This spirituality is described as spiritual walk

2. The spirtualit is described as spirtual work. This refers to quality of his involvemnt for and in the body of christ v.11-13,16 (ministry time) separate from own work
3. This spirituality is described as spiritual wisdom. Thus refers to the quality of his doctrinal stand v.14-16 acts 20:28
We have to mature!

Spiritual maturity: How near you are to the will of god

And your ability to detect the the perfect will of god for you.
Col 1:9-14
Discover perfect will of god
1. Paul askd for the wisdom of God in their lives v.9
Does god allow or want, wisdom is not from us. We need the correct ability to see the situation in the perspective of God. Or the light of god's perspective.
Red sea and egyptian problems. Acquire your wisdom from God.
Council of elders
Through the word of god
Prayer
2. The worthiness of god in their life v10-11
Worthy:The glory of god will be revealed in your life. Pleasing :presence of faith if not bearin fruit not the will.. Not transformed, not enduring, not growing if not perfect will
3. The worship of god in their life v.12 filled with thanksgiving and praise if in the perfect will of god
Worthiness is god shows in the transformation of self. Transformed: Mind lifestyle and heart
Wisdom: making choice

What God wants

Psalm 37

Romans 12
All in for jesus
Story of roger younderlain pete fleming jim elliot nate saint ed mccully
Have you made that decision regarding christ
If not it may be because you still have questions:
"is understanding the mind and will pf God for your life"
Do you love the lord and want to honor him with your life
Hav you asked should i serve more gove mre and stufy more
Even if you have been a follower of christ for many years are these questions still in your mind?
Rom 12:1-2
Basis of. commitment
Therefore i urge you, brothers in. Iew of gods mercy
The apostle paul is commanding christians to action
The command : offer yourself as a pving sacrifice to god
The motivation for thr command; in view god's mercy
God's mercy chap 1-3
Mankinds problem - all are sinners 3:3
God's solution salvation jesus paid it all 4-5
Gods provision sanctification - cleansing power 6-8
Jesus cleansed
God's faithulness soveriagnity - keepjng power 9-11
jewus keeps you forever save
Therefore because of gods mercy

The character of the commitment
Commitment is total amd reasonable
To offer your bodies as living sacrifices..
You were captive of sin! You were a slave to thr world system
Jesus redeemed you out of the slavearket of sin
Commitment is total amd reasonable
Total commitment: to offer your body as living sacrofices
Your body - your entire being (mind body and soul)
Deut 6:5
And so when we think of commitment we fear
What are we going to lose! What we are going to give up! How much we are going to serve! What we are going to have to change!
Reasonable commitment
Holy and pleasing to god -this is your spiritual act of worship
All of life is sacred when we commit our life to God
All we do is an act of worship
1 cor 10:31

The demands of commitment
12:2
Negative command!
The world wants to buy you too!
It offers fame and popularity!
It offer power, riches, sex!
Positive command
Dont be conformed passively by the world but be transformed by the renewing of the mind
How to act flows from how you think

Stop allowing yourselves to be molded by the influences and pressures of this present world we live in
Stop allowing satan and his demons to dupe you, con you use you trick you promise you life and love and power tha t will

Effects of commitment
Then you will be able to test and approve what gods will is his good pleasin and perfect will
Knowing the will of god and knowing the mind of god, comes from knowing the word of god, which renews and cleanses your mind!
Get deeper in the word of god
Nurture alife of prayer and fasting
Br an activr member of your church/fellowship
God knows what is best for you
Gods plan for your life is best for you
So in light of all god has done for you how are you goin to respond?
He eoesnt want more religious rituals
H doesnt want you to earn his affection
What god wants is yoh all of you
Can you say lord jesus im all in, fill in the rest lord
What do you want me to do vocationally
Want me to go
Want me to marry
You can take all lord
My dreams goals futurre
Famil snd possession

What was it about the birth of Jesus Christ

Matt 1 18-25
1. God always has a plan and he always fulfills his plan. He operates within his plan.

We have been pre destined chosen by God to be His people. We must make sure that we are part of this people.

God's will is easy to understand
rom 12:1-2
God has a plan for us!
Discover his will to understand his plan for us.

2. The Lord Jesus Christ purifies us from power of sin.
Task of the Holy Spirit to purify us from our sins.
Because it is displeasing.
Sins removes joy, we are unable to please god and move forward.
We should not complain, we underestimate the competence of God.
He saves us everyday.

3. The holy spirit makes everythung possible for us including the impossible.

Like the conception of the virgin mary.
The lord wil save you from your weakness.

Intepreting john 3:16

All translation of the Bible are word for word...


Interpreting John 3:16:

John 3:16

New International Version (NIV)

 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.


A word in a verse is explained by other words in a verse.


World - whoever is the clue which refers to people
Scripture interprets scripture


Find out if your are part of the people being mentioned "world na mahal mg Diyos" taong mga maliligatas.


Kailan ka ba sinimulan mahalin ng Diyos? Before creation.


Judicial freedom, holy and blameless before God. No more condemnation before you were born. Guaranteed judicial deliverance, we will have relationship with Him. This was made before creation.
God decided to love you with all you have gone through.


Whoever: pinili ng Diyos iligtas.


We are predestined as Christians!
1. God's eternal love is now yours, and it has become everlasting love.
It is true everyday: everlasting love


2. God's judicial favor is now yours.

Romans 8:1

New International Version (NIV)
Life Through the Spirit
 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,



Hinding hindi ka na madedemanda sa harap ng Diyos.


3. God's personal life is mine.
Eternal life is ours! The devil is afraid of you!


Things to remember before Lords supper
Mahal ka ng diyos dati pa man.
