SAved with a purpose!
Acts 26:17-18
17 ‘I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send
you,
18 ‘to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan
to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are
sanctified by faith in Me.’
Paul understood his purpose and that is why we hear so much of him.
Many are called, but will you be the few that are chosen?
Troubles come from within and the outside.
It gets brighter as our eyes are opening.
Our Faith is what separates us from the world and others.
A daily dose of God keeps the devil away.
Mark 16:14-18
14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and
hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be
condemned.
17 “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they
will speak with new tongues;
18 “they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them;
they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
“Sat at the table” meaning Jesus felt at home.
Jesus rebuke his disciple more because of their unbelief then their mess up’s.
We are called to lead others into salvation.
The sign of a believer is to cast out demons, speak in new tongues and heal the sick.
If we are not doing the above then what is stopping us?
HEALING FOR FATHERS DAY
HOW IS YOUR WALK?
Ephesians 5:15-17
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Circumspectly – exactly, accurately, diligently
Hebrews 12:1-2
1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race
that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of
God.
Cloud of witnesses – those who have endured and are walking in Jesus.
Sin – from the obvious evil that we do.
Weight – hindrances and distractions.
Ensnares us – skillfully being entangle to slow down or trip.
Our eyes on Jesus, give us the ability to finish the race well.
1 John 1:6
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the
truth.
Practicing truth (meaning Jesus) is what drives out the darkness from you blind spot.
Fellowship – (Koinonia) intimacy, partnership, joint participation is Christ and us as one.
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
If you are not walking in fellowship with each other, beware of the shadows.
Power in the Blood of Jesus.
Hebrews 10:24-26
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting
one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Fellowship brings the will of God in our walk.
