Overcoming Temptation
Text: 1 Corinthians 10:12-13,
"Wherefore let him who thinks he stands
take heed lest he fall. There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is
common to man: but God is faithful, who
will not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it."
Introduction: One of the perils that
a Christian faces from day to day is
temptation. The word "temptation" can
have two main directions of thought.
Temptation can be a testing, but it also
can refer to an enticement to sin. Any
enticement to sin does not come from
God; rather it originates either from
the world, the flesh or the devil.
The Bible says in James 1:14, "But
every man is tempted, when he is drawn
away of his own lust, and enticed."
Beloved, it is absolutely wrong to blame
God for an enticement to sin. The holy
and righteous God will not entice you to
sin, because He is absolutely and
infinitely holy, that is impossible.
It is not a sin to be tempted. In
fact many Bible characters were tempted
to sin. But it is a sin to yield to it.
You do not have to sin when temptations
come; though a part of living is being
tempted, through the power and help of
God we can say, "No" to every enticement
to sin that comes your way.
Enticement to sin actually comes from
three main areas: 1. It comes from
Satan. He is referred to as "the
Tempter" in Matt. 4:3 and in I Thess.
3:5. He can even masquerade himself as
an angel of light (2 Cor.11:14).
2. It comes from a love of the world.
That is what the Apostle John referred
to in 1 Jn. 2:16 as, "the lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life." Three of the main sins
that come from the world system are the
desire for sensuality, covetousness, and
pride. Dr. Ravi Zacharias writes in his
book ; Deliver Us From Evil: The
constant bombardment of images shapes
the perception of a whole generation and
results in altered beliefs and
lifestyles that make even the aberrant,
seem normal. Have the images of this
world so entered your mind that you see
nothing wrong with them?
3. It comes from man himself. When a
person is saved, they possess two
natures. One is a holy or new nature
that comes from God and the other is a
sinful nature that is separated from God
and enslaved to moral evil. James
1:14,15 says, "But every man is tempted,
when he is drawn away of his own lust,
and enticed. Then when lust hath
conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and
sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth
death.
Lust conceived in the heart brings
forth sin, and sin in turn brings forth
death. Death here has the basic idea of
separation. And by the way thats is
exactly what the Apostle Paul talks
about in Ephesians 2:1 when he says:
And you hath he quickened, who were dead
in trespasses and sin. So, we are
dealing here with separation, not
annihilation. Therefore, ladies and
gentleman while we are dead in our
trespasses and sin we can still respond
to the gospel in a positive way or in a
negative way. We can either reject Jesus
Christ or accept His gift of salvation.
WE can either refuse to go against God
or we can be for God and with God
beloved nothing can separate us from His
love. Amen. The continual practice of
sin leads to eternal death or separation
from God, but never annihilation.
The Bible says that, "He that is born
of God cannot commit (or practice) sin
(1 Jn. 3:9). Why? The holy seed of God,
the new nature, through which the Holy
Spirit operates, is inside of the
believer. I have no problem with people
who are seeking (by the grace of God to
overcome sin) I do have a problem with
people who spend their lives defending
their sins. God may send trying
circumstances to prove our loyalty or to
draw a person back to Himself whom has
strayed. Israel in the wilderness is an
example of that truth. The Bible says in
Ex. 15 that the Lord proved them or
tested them. Deut. 8:16 tells us that
the Lord brings about trying
circumstances to humble us, to test us,
and cause us to do what is right in the
end. Job declared in Job. 23:10, "When
He has tried me, I shall come forth as
gold." This is the same Job that said in
Job 13:15: Though He slay me, yet will
I trust in Him. Beloved, God often
orders our circumstances to reveal our
love for Him, to make us stronger to
resist sin, and to do us good in the
end.
God allowed Satan to test Job, to
reveal the true integrity of Job. Job
would not listen to the devil or do his
bidding. Jesus Himself was tempted in
the wilderness testing. He was tempted
to misuse His supernatural powers and to
worship Satan. Did He fall to the
temptations? No, instead Jesus proved
that He could not sin in the wilderness
temptation. The devil could not deceive
and trick Jesus into sinning.
From 1 Cor.10:13 lets consider
several things:
I. The Reality of Temptation
II. The Regulation of Temptation
III.The Release From Temptation
I. The Reality of Temptation
See the phrase, "Common to man." I
want to make it very clear that
temptation is real. It is not the
product of human imagination.
Temptations are typical human
experiences. Never think that you are
the only one that faces temptations in
life. The Bible says it is common to all
people. Oswald Chambers once wrote:
Temptation is not something we can
escape; in fact, it is essential to the
well-rounded life of a person. Beware of
thinking that you are tempted as no one
elsewhat you go through is the common
inheritance of the human race, not
something that no one has ever before
endured. God does not save us from
temptationsHe sustains us in the midst
of them. The writer of Hebrews says in
Hebrews 2:18: For in that He Himself
hath suffered being tempted He is able
to succor ( help) them that are tempted.
Adam and Eve were tempted in the Garden
of Eden. King David was tempted to have
Uriah killed, due to his sinful desire
for Bathsheba. Job was tempted to curse
God and die. If you recall that is what
His wife urged him to do, after he broke
out in boils all over his body. On and
on the list could go. I am convinced the
experiences of the characters of the
Bible prove that temptation in the sense
of an enticement to sin is a very real
thing.
Let Us See The Many Avenues the Devil
Can Use
1. Desire to steal. Personal
example: Your sin will find you out.
Hey, listen to me; you think youre
gonna get away with it? Well, the One
that holds your breath in His hands. The
One that has the whole world in His
hands knows it. And I would be very
careful with the things you take. God
sees you.
2. Desire for substitutes for God. It
involves a desire to worship the
creature more than the Creator. We are
told to flee or run from idolatry. Talk
about I John 5:21: Little children,
keep yourselves from idols. Idolatry is
anything that occupies the place due to
God. What are you replacing God with?
3. Desire for slander. Slander is one
of the worst sins people can ever
commit. It has a destructive force worse
than a powerful tornado. O, that
profound desire to exalt yourself just a
little higher than your neighbor by
hurting his reputation using malicious
utterance. Beloved, next time when
tempted to slander be reminded of the
words of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians
4:29: Let no corrupt communication
proceed out of your mouth, but that
which is good to the use of edifying,
that it may minister grace unto the
hearers.
4. Desire to seek unfamiliar spirits.
That is a temptation that should always
be resisted. It will ruin and wreck a
persons life. Do not seek that which
can bring you destruction. Brazil is a
country of a 163 million people. This
enormous nation has been heavily
influenced by the African culture, which
has brought satanic rituals and
obviously changed our culture. Ladies
and gentleman, I have seen and witnessed
at first hand the power of Satan in my
country. My father being a minister of
the gospel was many times called to cast
away demons and if you ever wander how
the experience is, let me assure you
that you would be so shocked and
terrified that your life would never be
the same. Let me tell you the number one
method the devil has used to bring
people to seek those unfamiliar spirits
and that is through music. Through music
he destroys lives; through music he
penetrates evil messages into the minds
of the people; through music he brings
people into the kingdom of darkness. Be
careful to what youre listening to;
make sure you are listening to music
that would glorify the name of God. I
have been there, the devil almost got a
hold of me, but praise God, Jesus found
me first.
The Reality of Temptation
II. The Regulating of Temptation
"God is faithful, who will not suffer
you to be tempted above that ye are
able"(I Cor.10:13c).
Temptations and trials come our way
but the Lord has a way of regulating
them, so they will not be more than we
are able to bear through His divine
assistance. We serve a sovereign,
all-powerful God who is still in
control. At times we look around us and
wonder if He is, but I want to assure
you, in spite of the devil and all of
the demons of hell, He is still in
control. Christ is sovereign over the
affairs of nations and peoples. God will
not allow a temptation to come your way
that is more powerful than your ability
through Him to resist; let me repeat
that. Amen!
Note: The Lord will not let us go
through things until we are able to
handle them. When the soldiers came to
take Jesus in the garden, the disciples
fled, and were not arrested. Why? They
were not ready to participate in what
Jesus was about to go through. When they
were finally ready, they all died
maryters deaths except John, who died
on the Isle of Patmos in exile. They
went through persecution, imprisionment,
and countless hardships when they were
finally deemed ready by the Lord to
endure them. No believer can rightly
claim if he sins, that the devil made
him do it. Satan cannot make you sin. A
person chooses to sin. People sin
because they willingly sin. When a
person sins, he or she chooses to sin.
Did I make that clear? How comforting it
is to know that He will never allow more
testing in our lives than we are able to
bear. Remember, He has authority over
the devil.
The Reality of Temptation
The Regulating of Temptation
III The Release From Temptation
"But will with the temptation also
make a way to escape, that ye may be
able to bear it" (1 Cor. 10:13c).
God ensures that there is always a
way out of every temptation that we may
encounter in our earthly life. II peter
2:9 says: The Lord knoweth how to
deliver the godly out of temptation.
Oh, what a blessed promise!
Illustration: When people fall prey
to wrongdoing, they often try to excuse
it. A three year old tried to give an
explanation for being in the kitchen, on
top of a chair, eating cookies. His
explanation was, "I just climbed up to
smell them, and my tooth got caught in
them." How do you like that explanation?
Stop trying to make excuse for your
sins.
Note: Keep in mind, we have the
promise of God that there is ALWAYS a
way to escape that we might be able to
bear whatever it is we are tempted to
do, that is against the will of God.
What are Gods ways of escape? How do
we escape and come out on top when we
are tempted?
A. Removal
Getting whatever is tempting you out
of the way. Its that ungodly and filthy
music. Its that TV program. Beloved,
wake up! It is time to remove these
things from our lives that we may grow
in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Arent you tired of taking
a step back instead of taking a step
forward for the Lord?
B. Running
Joseph in Potiphars House. Wife
tried to force him to have sexual
relations with her. Joseph ran and left
her holding part of his clothes as he
ran. He did what the Bible says in 1
Cor.6:18 to do, "Flee fornication."
C. Relying
The Bible says, "Having done all to
stand, stand." "Be strong in the Lord
and the power of His might." With every
promise of God there is enabling. God
will strengthen us to overcome
temptation to sin, if we will only rest
in His divine power and depend on Him
moment by moment.
Moment by moment
Never a trial that He is not there,
Never a burden that He doth not bear,
Never a sorrow that He doth not share,
Moment by moment
Im under His care.
Conclusion:
Beloved, temptation is a reality. We are
to benefit from every temptation that
comes our way. Even an enticement to sin
from the world, the flesh, or the devil,
makes us stronger as a Christian, when
it is faced and resisted. Every time our
faith in God is exercised it becomes
stronger. Burdens, troubles, pressures
of any kind can bring a blessing. When
we trust in Him moment by moment and
when we give our lives to Him, not
partially, but completely to the One Who
always provides a way to escape.
How are you responding to your
temptations? How you do, will determine
the degree of your spiritual success and
victory.
How To Become A Christian
To become a Christian is to make a
lifetime commitment, but with it comes
the everlasting reward of eternal life
with Jesus Christ and God the Father.
The following is a very brief
introduction to Christianity. After each
statement is a scripture from the Old
King James Version (Old KJV) of the Holy
Bible. I encourage you to verify these
statements with a copy of the Old KJV
Holy Bible.
All are sinners
"For all have sinned, and come short of
the glory of God." Romans 3:23
"As it is written, There is none
righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:10
For the wages of sin is death.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the
gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our LORD." Romans 6:23
What is sin?.
A sin is when you know to do right, but
choose to do wrong instead.
"Therefore to him that knoweth to do
good, and doeth it not, to him it is
sin." James 4:17 Jesus Christ is
the only way to salvation.
Notice the second half of Romans 6:23:
"...but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our LORD. "
"For I delivered unto you first of all
that which I also received, how that
Christ died for our sins according to
the scriptures; And that He was buried,
and that He rose again the third day
according to the scriptures."
I Corinthians 15:3-4
"For God so loved the world, that He
gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life."John
3:16
"But God commendeth His love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us."Romans 5:8
"That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the LORD Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raised Him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For
with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation."
Romans 10:9-10
"For whosoever shall call upon the LORD
shall be saved." Romans 10:13
To become a Christian, pray the prayer
of salvation out loud
PRAYER OF SALVATION
Dear Lord Jesus
I come to you as a sinner.
I know I can't make it on my own.
Forgive me for my sins.

You said,
That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth
The Lord Jesus
And shalt believe in thine heart
That God hath raised Him from the dead
Thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness,
And with the mouth
Confession is made unto salvation.
Thank you Lord for saving me!
I am a new creature now.
I will pray

THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL HOLINES.
SANCTIFICATION.
NOW AS CHRISTIANS WE ARE ADOPTED AS SONS
OF GOD AND WE ARE CALLED TO LIVE IN
HOLINESS. EF.1:4,5.
( IPET.1:14-16)
AS OBEDIENT CHILDREN, NOT CONFORMING
YOURSELVESTO THE FORMER LUST, AS IN YOUR
IGNORANCE; BUT AS HE WHO CALLED YOU IS
HOLY, YOU ALSO BE HOLY IN ALL YOUR
CONDUCT, BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN, BE H0LY,
FOR I AM HOLY.
IT IS A DUTY WITH OUR NEW FATHER STAY
HOLY AND IT IS ACHIEVED WALKING IN HOLY
AND PIOUS MANNER OF LIVING.( II PET.
3:11); NO CONFORMING TO THE DESIRES OF
THE FLESH.( GAL.5:19-23).
PERHAPS FOR THE WORLD , THE HOLINESS OF
THE BELIEVER DOES NOT EXIST, FOR ALMOST
ALL THAT ARE NOT CONVERTED TO JESUS
CHRIST , TO BE HOLY IS AN IDEA ALMOST
REMOTE, IMPOSSIBLE, RIDICULE, FANATIC
AND IS RELATED WITH A BORESOME LIFE..
WHEN WE WERE RELIGIOUS WE USE TO RELATE
THE HOLINESS PERHAPS WITH AN IMAGE, A
PERSON WITH A RELIGIOUS GOWN, A MAN
RETIRED IN A MOUNTAIN OR IN A MONASTERY,
.VENERABLE ADRESS OR OBJECT, A BLESSED
SUBSTANCE, OR A PLACE, WHERE DWELLS THE
DIVINITY, CHAPEL,MOSQUE OR CEMETERY.
BUT THE SACRED SCRIPTURES TELLS US THAT
GOD DWELLS IN THE HIGH( HEAVEN) AND
HILINESS ( IT REFERS TO HIS PEOPLE)
IS. 57:15 FOR THUS SAYS THE HIGH AND
LOFTY ONE, WHO INHABIT ETEFNITY, WHOSE
NAME IS HOLY: : I DWELL IN THE HIGH AND
HOLY PLACE, WITH HIM WHO HAS A
CONTRITE AND HUMBLE SPIRIT, TO REVIVE
THE SPIRIT OF THE HUMBLE, AND TO REVIVE
THE HEART OF THE CONTRITE ONES.
IT IS TO SAY THAT TODAY GOD AND HOLINESS
DO NO T DWELL IN TEMPLES MADE BY HUMAN
HANDES, NOT IN OBJECTSS, BUT IN THE
BODY, THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT OF THE
TRUE CHRISTIANS ,CHILDREN OF GOD, THEY
ARE HIS TEMPLE; THEN, IT IS A LI E TO
SAY THAT GOD IS IN ALL, IN A STONE , A
CANDLE, A CRUCIFIX, AN EVEN IN A SEWER..
THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF ACTS
17:24, 25 ,†THE GOD WHO
MADE THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING IN IT IS
THE LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND DOES NO
LIVE IN TEMPLE BILT BY HANDS. AND HE IS
NOT SERVED BY HUMAN HANDS, AS IF HE
NEEDED ANYTHING, BECAUSE HE HIMSELF
GIVES ALL MEN LIFE AND BREATH AND
EVERYTHING ELSE. AND IN TRUTH THE ONLY
HOLY OF THE HOLIES IS GOD, BUT THE
HOLINESS IS A WAY OF PERFECT SUPERATION
FOR THE MIND, THE SOUL AND THE BODY. ( I
THES.5:23.
THAT BEGINS ONLY WHEN WE ACCEPT JESUS
CHRIST IN OUR HEART AS THE ONLY LORD AND
SUFFICIENT SAVIOR AND WE DEPART FROM
SIN. IT SEEMS A DIFFICULT TASK, BUT HE
PROMISED TO HELP US .
IN THIS PROCESS OF PERFECTION THAT
BEGINS WITH THE FEAR OF GOD, IT IS THE
HOLY GHOST WHO IS GOING TO GUIDE, TO
GIVE US ALL HELP AND THE FORTRESS TO
WIN.
WE MUST PRAY AND READ THE BIBLE, BE
PERCEPTIBLE TO THE VOICE OF GOD TO KNOW
WHAT IS SIN OR NOT A SIN, TO DISTINGUISH
BETWEEN THE HOLY AND PROFANE.. EZ. 44:23
).
THE SANCTIFICATION REQUIRES WALKING IN
CONTINUE OBEDIENCE AND APPLYING THE WORD
OF GOD IN ONE’S LIFE:
IF I STUMBLE, I LIFT ME UP , AND
CONTINUE WALKING ( ROM 8:1 ) . WE MUST
TRUST IN THE WORK OF CHRIST AT THE CROSS
AND RECOGNIZE THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF
PLEASING GOD IN THE FLESH.
WE CAN NOT PLAY WITH THE THINGS OF OUR
HOLY GOD. THE LACKING OF HOLINESS OPENS
THE DOOR OF OUR BEING TO BAD INFLUENCIES
THAT WILL LEAVE US MARKED; AND THE WAGE
WE RECEIVE BECAUSE OF SIN IS DEATH.(
ROM. 6:23)
THE HOLINESS IS VERIFY IN TWO GREAT
STEPS: THE IMMIDIATE AND THE
PROGRESSIVE.
THE IMMIDIATE HOLINESS IS RECEIVED WHEN
ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST IN OUR HEART AS
LORD AND SAVIOR BY FAITH, AND BEING
PARDONED OUR SINS. AS THE FLESH AND THE
SPIRIT CAN BE CONTAMINATED, WE MUST
PERFECT OURSELVES IN HOLINESS.(II
COR. 7 : 1 )
2- THE PROGRESSIVE HOLINESS IS
THEPERMANET WORK THAT ALONG OUR LIFE
,THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES. A WORK OF
TRANSFORMATION AND RENEWING OF OUR BODY,
SOUL AND SPIRIT. ( I THES. 5:23 ) : MAY
GOD HIMSELF, THE GOD OF PEACE., SANCTIFY
YOU THROUGH AND THROUGH. MAY YOUR WHOLE
SPIRIT , SOUL AND BODY BE KEPT BLAMELESS
AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
V-24 : THE ONE WHO CALLS YOU IS FAITHFUL
AND HE WILL DO IT.
WE ARE LIVING IN THE GENERATION OF THE
LAST DAYS AND ONLY THERE ARE TWO KINDS
OF PERSONS: THEY THAT ARE DISPOSED TO
FOLLOW IN COMPLETE OBEDIENCE TO GOD ,
AND THOSE THAT WANT TO LIVE ACCORDING TO
THEIR OWN WILL.
ONLY THE FORMER WILL GO IN THE RAPTURE
OF THE CHURCH.
THIS IS THE TIME TO LOOK FOR THE MOST
POSSIBLE SANCTIFICATION, ( REV. 22: 11 )
MANY CHRISTIANS HAS RECEIVED GIFTS FROM
GOD, THEY ARE USED BY HIM AND THEY MIGHT
BE USED MORE BY HIM, BUT THEY HAVE
RESERVED SOME AREA OF THEIR LIFE THAT
THEY HAVE NOT YIELDED COMPLETELY TO THE
LORD, AND HAVE THE TENDENSY TO BE
ACCEPTED MORE FOR THE WORLD THAN FOR
GOD. IT MAY BE SOMETHING WITHIN THEIR
HEARTS THAT CAUSE THEM BE MORE PLEASED
LIVING FOR THEIR OWN FLESH THAN FOR GOD,
PAYING ATTENTION EVEN TO CERTAIN
VANITIES OF LIFE, AND TO THE DESIRES OF
THE EYES.
THERE ARE BELIEVERS THAT DO NOT GIVE A
COMPLETE TESTIMONY, AND FOR MANY , IT IS
DIFFICULT DISTINGUISH THEM FROM A HOLY
MAN OR A HOLY WOMAN.
THE TREATMENT THEY GIVE TO OTHERS, THE
EMOTIONS THEY MANIFEST, THE PRIDE, THE
INDIFERENCE TO HOLINESS, THE
ARROGANCE,THE ANGER,THE LACK OF FAITH;
IN THEIR SPIRITUAL TESTIMONY AND
PHISICAL APPEARANCE , THEY RESEMBLE THE
NO BELIEVERS TO THE GOSPEL .
THAT IS WHY THE HOLINESS IS MANIFESTED
IN TWO MANNERS: THE INTERNAL HOLINESS
AND THE EXTERNAL HOLINESS.
THE INTERNAL HOLINESS.
TO THE LEVEL OF THE SPIRIT AND THE SOUL,
AS JESUS SAID, IS THE CLEANNESS OF THE
INNER PART OF THE VESSEL. THE FIRST
CHANGE GIVEN IS HE INNER LEVEL. THE
HEART IS TRANSFORMED FOR THE PRESENCE OF
CHRIST IN OUR LIFE. THERE THE HOLY
SPIRIT BEGINS TO RENEW OUR MANNER OF
THINKING, OF FEELING AND OF ACTING.
BEFORE KNOWING THE LORD, WE WERE
AUTOSUFICIENTS,ARROGANTS, IMPULSIVES,
BUT NOW OUR SANCTIFIED SPIRIT PERMIT US
TO HAVE COMMUNION WITH GOD, ALLOWS US TO
BE GUIDED BY THE HOLY GHOST, IS PLEASED
IN LOOKING FOR THE THINGS OF GOD, AND
GIVES FRUITS FOR HIM.
EVERYDAY THE HOLY SPIRIT PUT IN US MORE
BURDEN FOR PURIFYING US AND DEPARTING US
FROM THE THINGS OF THE WORLD THAT CAN
CONTAMINATE US..
THE EMOTIONS ARE CONTROLED IN OUR SOUL
AND ALWAYS THEY TEND TO THE SPIRITUAL.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE BROKEN DOWN BY THE
TESTIMONIES OF THE POWER OF GOD, THE
NEEDS OF OTHERS AND WE LOVE TO SAVE THE
LOST SOULS. SO THE PERSON BORN AGAIN
DOES NOT ALLOW TO BE DOMINATED BY HIS
OLD THOUHGTS AND SENSES.
THE EXTERNAL HOLINESS
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TEACHES US IN THE
NEW TESTAMENT , THAT NOT ONLY THE OUTER
OF THE VESSEL WE HAVE TO CLEAN,BUT FIRST
THE INNER; THIS MEANS THAT THE OUTER OF
THE VESSEL CAN NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SAY, GOD DOES NOT
SEE WHAT IS OUTER; BUT THIS VERSE
MAT.23:26 AND OTHER MORE DO NOT SAY
THAT.
THE HOLINESS MUST BE COMPLETE SO THAT WE
MAY BE IN THE CENTRE OF THE PERFECT WILL
OF GOD. MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD, ALSO
DESIRE TO PLEASE THE LORD IN THE
EXTERNAL AND THEIR PERSONAL APPEARANCE
IS NEAT, CLEANSED, ORDERLY, MODEST , AND
WITHOUT OSTENTATIONS, WITHOUT BEING
SCRUFFY NOR OLD-FASHIONED
THEY DO NOT USE FASHIONS THAT INCITE THE
DESIRE OF OTHER PERSONS TOWARDS THE
INTIMATE PARTS OF THEIR BODIES, NOR
STIMULATE THE EROTISM, NOR PROVOKE THE
VOLUPTUOSITY, BECAUSE WE AS CHRISTIANS
DO NOT SEEK TO AWAKE INSTINTS IN OTHERS,
NOR THE EXALTATION OR OUR OWN GLORY; BUT
IN ALL WE DO , WHAT WE PUT ON , OR HOW
WE MOVE OURSELVES , OUR MAIN MOTIVATION
IS TO GIVE GOD THE GLORY.
THE TRUE FOLLOWER OF JESUS DOES NOT PAY
ATTENTION TO WHAT THE WORLD TELL HIM
TOUCHING HIS WAY OF DRESSING HIMSELF,
SINCE WITHOUT BEING AN IMPOSITION OF HIS
CHURCH HE WILL ATTEND WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS; SO IN THAT WAY HE HONORS IN ALL
THE NAME OF HIS LORD.
THE NEW BORN PERSON IN THE CONGREGATION,
CAN NOT BE INSULTED , CRITICIZED, MARKED
OR OBSERVED AS HE / SHE WERE THE WORSE
OF SINNERS, BECAUSE HIS / HER WAY OF
DRESSING, BECAUSE HER SHORT HAIR, FOR
USING PANTS, FOR USING
EARRINGS,NECKLACES, OR FOR PUTTING ON
HER MAKE-UP; AND IN THE CASE OF MEN
BECAUSE HIS LONG HAIR, CLOTHES SOMEHOW
SUBJECTIVE OR EXTRANGE FASHIONS, SINCE
THIS DOES NOT PLEASE THE LORD, FOR HE
ACCEPTS THE SINNER THAT COMES TO HIM, AS
HE IS.
BUT A TRUE BROTHER THAT WANTS TO BE IN
THE PERFECT WILL OF THE LORD WILL
START,AS SOON AS POSSIBLE , IN ACORDANCE
WITH HIS ECONOMICAL POSSIBILITIES, TO DO
WHAT THE SACRED SCRIPTURE SAY ACCORDING
TO THE CORRECT WAY OF PRESENTING HIMSELF
AS A CHRISTIAN, SINCE THE LORD TELL US ,
THAT ALL CONVERTED TO CHRIST IS A PRIEST
OF GOD. ( REV.1;6, 5:10, I PET.2:9 )
ONE THING IS THE LEGALIZM ( TO BE LIVING
UNDER THE LAW ) , AND OTHER TO SEEK THE
SANCTIFICATION AND THE OBEDIENCE TO THE
MAXIMUN, THOUGH WE BE LIVING UNDER THE
GRACE, AND THAT IS NOT THAT WE SEEK TO
GAIN THE SALVATIOIN BY WORKS.
THIS PART OF THE STUDY OF EXTERNAL
HOLINESS DOES NOT CORRESPOND IN NO WAY
TO HUMAN REGULATIONS OR PRECEPT OF
CERTAIN DENOMINATION, AS THE APOSTLE
PAUL SAID IN COL. 2:20-22 ) : -
THEREFORE, IF YOU DIED WITH CHRIST FROM
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THE WORLD , WHY
, AS THOUGH LIVING IN THE WORLD , DO YOU
SUBJECT YOURSELVES TO REGULATIONSâ€â€DO
NOT TOUCH, DO NOT TASTE, DO NOT HANDLE,
WHICH ALL CONCERN THINGS WHICH PERISH
WITH THE USING,--ACCORDING TO THE
COMMANDMENTS AND DOCTRINES OF MEN?
WE SEE THAT IT IS NOT THAT WHAT WE ARE
CONSIDERING IN THIS STUDY, BUT IT IS
SOMETHING MARVELOUS THAT THE SCRIPTURES
SAYS, THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN ALL
BELIEVER; THEREFORE, HIS HUMAN BODY
COMES TO BE THE TEMPLE OF THE SPIRIT OF
GOD. I COR. 6: 19-20 : -OR DO YOU NOT
KNOW THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS IN YOU,WHOM YOU HAVE
FROM GOD, AND YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN? FOR
YOU WERE BOUGHT AT A PRICE;THEREFORE
GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR
SPIRIT, WHICH ARE OF GOD.
THIS TELLS ME THAT I CAN NOT DO WITH MY
BODY WHAT I WANT OR DRESS THIS TEMPLE AS
I WANT, BUT AS IT IS CONVENIENT FOR THE
TEMPLE OF GOD.
WHAT WE ARE GOING TO PRESENT IS
SUPPORTED IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT.
THE CHRISTIAN MEN :
THE MAN OF GOD THAT WANTS TO BE MORE
USED BY GOD AND WANTS TO BE A MEMBER OF
EXTERNAL TESTIMONY AS WELL AS INTERNAL
ONE, WILL PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORD OF
GOD IN THE FOLLOWING:
LOS HOMBRES CRISTIANOS:
EL HOMBRE DE DIOS QUE QUIERE SER MAS
USADO POR DIOS Y SER UN MIEMBRO DE
TESTIMONIO EXTERNO TANTO COMO INTERNO,
ATENDERA A LA PALABRA EN LO SIGUIENTE:
THE HAIR AND THE HEAD.
EZEQUIEL 44:2O : THEY SHALL NEITHER
SHAVE THEIR HEADS, NOR LET THEIR HAIR
GROW LONG; BUT THEY SHALL KEEP THEIR
HAIR WELL TRIMMED.
I COR. 11:4 : EVERY MAN PRAYING OR
PROPHESYING HAVING HIS HEAD COVERED,
DISHONORS HIS HEAD.-- IT MAKES IT CLEAR
THAT IT IS CONVENIET NOT TO HAVE
ANYTHING ON THE HEAD WHEN PRAYING OR
PROPHESYING.
LEV. 19 27 : YOU SHALL NOT SHAVE AROUND
THE SIDES OF YOUR HEAD,, IT IS TO SAY:
CUTTING YOUR HAIR IN FORM OF CROWN.
I COR. 11: 14 : DOES NOT EVEN NATURE
ITSELF TEACH YOU THAT IF A MAN HAS LONG
HAIR, IT IS A DISHONOR TO HIM?
DYE
THOUGH IN THE AGE OF JESUS THEY ALREADY
HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO DYE THEIR HAIR,
THE SAME LORD SAID THE FOLLOWING : MAT.
5 36: NOR SHALL YOU SWEAR BY YOUR HEAD,
BECAUSE YOU CANNOT MAKE ONE HAIR WHITE
OR BLACK.
THE TATTOO.
LEV.19:28 : YOU SHALL NOT MAKE ANY
CUTTINGS IN YOUR FLESH FOR THE DEAD, NOR
TATTOO ANY MARKS ON YOU : I AM THE LORD.
THE DEVIL IS ACUSTOMING PEOPLE OF THE
LAST DAY THAT THEY MAY TATTOO THEMSELVES
AND MAY RECEIVE MARKS, PREPARING
THEMSELVES IN THAT WAY IN ORDER THAT
THEY RECEIVE THE MARK OF THE ANTICHRIST.
( REV.13: 16 ). CHECK THAT THE MOST
TATTOOES ARE RELATED WITH THE OCULTISM.
HEARRINGS.
JUDGES 9:24,25. : THEN GIDEON SAID TO
THEM, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A REQUEST OF
YOU, THAT EACH OF YOU WOULD GIVE ME THE
EARRINGS FROM HIS PLUNDER. FOR THEY HAD
GOLDEN EARRINGS, BECAUSE THEY WERE
ISHMAELITES. SO THEY ANSWERED, WE WILL
GLADLY GIVE THEM. HERE WE SEE HOW THE
ENEMIES OF GOD USED EARRINGS AND THE
PEOPLE OF ISRAEL GAVE THEM GLADLY FROM
THEIR PLUNDER.
THE CHRISTIAN WOMEN.
LIKEWISE,THE SISTERS THAT WANT TO BE OF
GREATER TESTIMONY AND MORE BLESSED BY
THE LORD WILL PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORD
WITH FAITHFULNESS, DOING IT ALL NOT BY
OBLIGATION BUT HEARTEDLY.
I WAS A FEW UNBELIEVING IN THIS AREA,
BECAUSE I BELONGED FOR 13 YEARS TO A
CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY VERY LIBERAL, SINCE
I HAVE COURSED UNIVERSITY STUDIES AND I
DID MOVED IN THE BUSINESS WORLD AND THE
SO CALLED CULTURE AND SOCIETY; I JUDGED
AL THIS AS FANATISM AND LEGALISM. BUT
GOD SPOKE ME MORE THAN THREE TIMES THAT
IT WAS IMPORTANT TO DO IT.
NOW A DAY IT MOVES MORE THAN EVER
BEFORE,--THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL, THAT
INCITES THE WOMEN TO CLOTHE THEMSELVES
AS THE PAGAN AND WORDLY JEZEBEL DID TO
ATRACT OTHERS TO SIN.
II KINGS 9:30 : NOW WHEN JEHU HAD COME
TO JEZREEL, JEZEBEL HEARD OF IT;AND SHE
PUT PAINT ON HER EYES, AND ADORNED HER
HEAD, AND LOOKED THROUGH A WINDOW.
WE SEE THAT SHE DIED AFTER BEING THROWN
FROM THE WINDOW AND THEN THE DOGS ATE
HER TRIMMED FACE AND THE HANDS THAT SHE
USED FOR SIN, AS GOD HAD PROPHESIED IT
THROUGH ELIJAH.
THE LORD SPOKE TO ME IN THE TEMPLE ABOUT
THIS SPIRIT THAT MAKES THAT HIS CHILDREN
DEPART FROM HOLINESS IN A SUBTLE WAY,
DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF THE VANITY
ANDTHE IDENTIFICATION OF MANY CHRIATIANS
WITH THE CUSTOMS, TRIMMINGS AND WORDLY
FASHIONS.
THE LORD SPOKE US ALSO OF MANY SISTERS
THAT ARE LUKEWARM,THAT THOUGH THEY
CLOTHE THEMSELVES AS HE PLEASES , IN
THEIR INTERIOR THEY YEARN TO BE AS THE
WORLDLY WOMEN.
PERHAPS SOMEBODY SAYS, I KNOW A SISTER
VERY ANOINTED, SHE SPEAKS TONGUES, IS A
PREACHER, SHE PAINTS HERSELF, CUTS HER
HAIR AS A MAN, WEARS PANTS, AND GOD USES
HER...
IF SHE WOULD WANT TO BE USHIER IN MY
CONGREGATION, I WOULD TELL HER, SISTER
YOU ARE NOT OBEYING ALLTHAT THE WORD
TEACHES RESPECT OF YOUR PERSONAL
PRESENTATION.
SHE IS REPONSIBLE OF OBEYING OR NOT. THE
SIN OF DESOBEDIENCE IN A BELIEVER IS
COMPARED WITH THE SIN OF IDOLWORSHIPING.
ONLY THEY THAT ARE IN OBIDIENCE AND IN
PERMANENT SANCTIFICATION OF THE SOUL,
SPIRIT AND BODY WILL GO IN THE RAPTURE
OF THE CHURCH.
EVERY BELIEVING WOMAN THAT KEEPS HERSELF
FULLY SANCTIFIED, MOST CLOTHE HERSELF
WITH HONOR AND WITHOUT OSTENTATIOUS
ADORNMENTS.
I PETER 3:3 : YOUR ADORNMENT SHOULD NOT
BE AN EXTERNAL ONE OF OSTENTATIOUS HAIR
TRIMMINGS, OF GOLD ADORNMENTS OR
LUXURIOUS APPAREL..
I TIM 2:9 : IN LIKE MANNER ALSO, THAT
THE WOMEN ADORN THEMSELVES IN MODEST
APPAREL WITH PROPRIETY AND MODERATION,
NOT WITH BRAIDED HAIR OR GOLD OR PEARLS
OR COSTLY CLOTHING.
THE WOMEN IN THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD IN
HER DAILY CLOTHING WILL ABSTAIN HERSELVE
FROM LOW-CUT DRESSES. SLEEVELESS
DRESSES, WITH PRONOUNCED CRAKS,
MINISKIRTS, CLOTHES TIGHT TO THEIR
BODIES OR SENSUALLY PRONOUNCED, STRANGE
FASHIONS,PANTS, SHORTS, HEARRINGS,
BRACELETS,BRAZALETES, COLLARS, SHORT
HAIR,DYEINGS. MAKE-UPS, AND NAIL
VARNISH.
THE PLOCKED OF THE EYEBROWS.
LOOK HOW CURIOUS,--THE SCIENTIST SAY
THAT THE HAIR OF THE EYEBROWS PROTECTS
THE EYES. FROM THE SUN, THAT WOULD
DETERIORATE THE VISION IF THEY WOULD NOT
BE THERE; BUT WHEN TAKING THEM OUT, THE
BODY WILL TRY TO DEFEND MAKING TO AUMENT
AND GROW IN AN ABNORMAL WAY THE ZONE OF
THE EYEBROWS.
THAT IS WHY EVERY WOMAN THAT SHAVE HER
EYEBROWS TOTALY, DEVELOPS A LUMP GROWN
IN THIS PART INSTEAD OF THE HAIR OF THE
EYEBROWS. BECAUSE OF VANITY WE DO HURT
OUR BODIES, AND WE OFEND GOD. SINCE ALL
HE DID IS PERFECT, AND KNOWS WHY HE HAS
PUT EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE.
THE PANTS WAS A FASHION THAT SHOCKED THE
AMERICAN SOCIETY 40 YEARS AGO, AND THE
MINISKIRT APPEARED AS PART OF THE SEXUAL
LIBERATION OF THE YEARS SIXTY, AND
INVENTED BY A CHURCH.
IN OTHER WORDS THESE ARE THE LAST HAVOCS
CAUSED BY THIS DECLINING GENERATION
INFLUENCED GREATLY AND SUBTLY BY SATAN,
BEFORE THE COMING OF OUR LORD
JESUSCHRIST.
DET. 22:5 : A WOMAN SHALL NOT WEAR
ANYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO A MAN, NOR
SHALL A MAN PUT ON A GARMENT OF WOMAN,
FOR ALL WHO DO SO ARE AN ABOMINATION TO
THE LORD YOUR GOD.
COULD A SISTER WEARING TIGHT PANTS SAYS
THAT WHEN SHE KNEEL DOWN IN A PRAYER
GROUP WHERE BEHIND HER THERE ARE NEW
MALE CONVERTS TO THE GOSPEL, THAT SHE
DOES IT TO THE GLORY AND HONOR OF GOD,
AND THAT SHE IS NOT GOING TO THINK THAT
SATAN IS GOING TO ATTACT THE WEAK
BROTHERS ?
WITHOUT GOING ON WITH INQUISITIVE
PURPOSE TO MEASURE THE LONG OF THE HAIR
OR THE CLOTHING,THE TYPE OF JEWEL,
ADORNMENT,ETC, THAT A CHRISTIAN MAY
WEAR. IT IS A MATTER WHERE THE HOLY
SPIRIT CONVINCES OF VANITY AND LACKING
OF SHAME.
SPEAKING OF ISRAEL IN A SPIRITUAL SENSE
AS TO A WOMAN, GOD HIMSELF ADORNED HER;
BUT HE HIMSELF SAYS THE NEGATIVE EFFECT
THAT THIS HAD IN A PEOPLE THAT IS NOT
HOLY INDEED,NOR OBEDIENT. THAT IS WHY HE
SAYS THAT IT OUGHT NOT TO BE ANYMORE.
EZQ.16:12,13 : AND I PUT A JEWELIN YOUR
NOSE, EARRINGS IN YOUR EARS, AND A
BEAUTIFUL CROWN ON YOUR HEAD. THUS YOU
WERE ADORNED WITH GOLD AND SILVER, AND
YOUR CLOTHING WAS OF FINE LINEN, SILK,
AND EMBROIDERED CLOTH. YOU ATE PASTRY OF
FINE FLOUR, HONEY, AND OIL. YOU WERE
EXCEEDINGLY BEAUTIFUL, AND SUCCEEDED TO
ROYALTY.
EZQ. 16: 15 , 16 : BUT YOU TRUSTED IN
YOUR OWN BEAUTY, PLAYED THE HARLOT
BECAUSE OF YOUR FAME, AND POURED OUT
YOUR HARLOTRY ON EVERYONE PASSING BY WHO
WOULD HAVE IT.
YOU TOOK SOME OF YOUR GARMENTS AND
ADORNED MULTICOLORED HIGH PLACES FOR
YOURSELVE, AND PLAYED THE HARLOT ON
THEM. SUCH THINGS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN OR
BE.
WE CAN SEE CLEARLY THE WHY OF THIS IN
EX.32: 2-4 . SATAN INSPIRED AARON TO ASK
ALL THE PEOPLE THE EARRINGS TO MAKE THE
GOLDEN CALF. ALL THESE ADORNMENTS WERE
AND HAVE BEEN DOORS TO IDOLWORSHIPING.
GOD GRANTED THEM ALL THOSE JEWELS THAT
THEY MIGHT HAVE WITH WHAT GIVE
OFFERINGS, TO CONSTRUCT THE TABERNACLE
AND FOR THE WORK OF GOD. EX. 35:21,22.
WE CAN SEE THAT MUCH BEFORE OF THE LAW
WHEN JACOB IS GOING TO OFFER A SERVICE
TO GOD IN BETHEL, HE MAKES THAT EVERYONE
BE PURIFIED AND COMMANDS TO TAKE OFF ALL
THE EARRINGS FROM THEIR EARS.
GEN. 35: 4 : SO THEY GAVE JACOB ALL THE
FOREING GODS WHICH WERE IN THEIR HANDS,
AND ALL THE EARRRINGS WHICH WERE IN
THEIR EARS; AND JACOB HID THEM UNDER THE
TEREBINTH TREE WHICH WAS BY SHECHEM .
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO INSIST FOR , IN
WEARING SOMETHING THAT THE LORD HIMSELF
WILL TAKE OFF WHEN HE COMES, BECAUSE IT
IS NOT IN HIS PERFECT WILL.
ISA.3: 18-23 .
IN THE BIBLE, THE HAIR OF THE WOMAN IS
CLEARLY DIFFERENCIATED FROM THE HAIR OF
THE MAN. REV.9:8 : THEY HAD HAIR LIKE
THE HAIR OF WOMEN...
THE LONG HAIR IN THE WOMAN ON HER HEAD
AND SHOULDERS IS A SIGN OF SUBMMITANCE
TO THE MAN AND TO THE AUTHORITY OF
CHRIST. 1 COR. 11:10.
LET US PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORD OF THE
LORD, MAY WE WALK IN HIS PERFECT WILL,
AND NOT IN VANITIES THAT PROFIT NOTHING.

THE DISCIPLINE.
HEBREWS 12:5-11. AND YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN
THE EXHORTATION WHICH SPEAKS TO YOU AS
TO SONS MY SON, DO NOT DESPISE THE THE
CHASTENING OF THE LORD , NOR BE
DISCOURAGED WHEN YOU ARE REBUKED BY HIM;
FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CHASTENS, AND
SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES.
IF YOU ENDURES CHASTENING, GOD DEALS
WITH YOU AS WITH SONS; FOR WHAT SON IS
THERE WHOM A FATHER DOES NOT CHASTEN?
BUT IF YOU BARE WITHOUT CHASTENING,
OF WHICH ALL HAVE BECOME PARTAKERS, THEN
YOU ARE ELLEGITIMATE AND NOT SONS. V.-11
NOW NO CHASTENING SEEMS TO BE JOYFUL FOR
THE PRESENT, BUT PAINFUL; NEVERTHELESS,
AFTERWARDIT YIELDS THE PEACEABLE FRUIT
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
TRAINED BY IT.
I- THE DISCIPLINE CAN COME FROM:
1- THE MAN(PARENTS, AUTHORITIES)
THEY ARE MANIFESTED BY SPANKINGS,
SUSPENTION OF PRIVILEGES, LOSS OF
POSSE4SSIONS.
2- GOD.
IT IS MANIFESTED IN TWO WAYS:
-CORRECTIVES CHASTENINGS.
-CONDEMNATION JUDGEMENTS.
THROUGH;
SICKNESSES, LOSS OF POSSESSIONS,
PERSECUTION, VERBAL REBUKES, SUSPESION
0F PRIVILIGES, LOSS OF A BELOVED ONE.
II - COMMENTS ABOUT THE TEXT:
V.6 GOD, WHY THIS HAPPEN TO ME?
BECAUSE GOD DISCIPLINE WHOM HE LOVES.
V-7 BEAR THE DIFFICULTIES AS
DISCIPLINE,- GOD IS TREATING YOU AS
SONS.
THE ADVERSITIES YOU FIND ARE HIDEN
BLESSINGS.
DO NOT USE THE ROD AND YOU WILL SPOIL
THE CHILD.
--SOME PARENTS BELIEVE THAT SPANKING IS
A LACK OF LOVE.-- WHAT AN ERROR!
V- 8 NO ACCEPTING DISCIPLINE IS A SIGN
OF REBELION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY.
V- 9 THE FATHER IS THE HEAD AT HOME. HE
TEACHES HIS CHILDREN TO BEHAVE WELL AND
GUIDE THEM ADEQUATELY.
V-10 MEN COMMIT ERRORS WHEN DISCIPLINING
THEM. GOD DOES NOT MISTAKE IN DOING
THAT. HE ALWAYS HAS A WELL DEFINITE
PURPOSE WHEN DISCIPLINING.
V-11 BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE:
-A HARVEST OF JUSTICE AND PEACE.
-A CORRECT RELETIONSHIP WITH GODAND MEN.
MAKING US MORE USEFUL.
.
MARK 6:36. AND JESUS, WHEN HE CAME OUT
SAW A GREAT MULTITUDE AND WAS MOVED WITH
COMPASSION FOR THEM, BECAUSE THEY WERE
LIKE SHEEP NOT HAVING A SHEPHERD. SO HE
BEGAN TO TEACH THEM MANY THINGS
FOR BEING MORE USEFUL WE HAVE TO:
I- COME OUT . AND JESUS WHEN HE CAME
OUT.
WE HAVE TO COME OUT THAT WE CAN SEE THE
SPIRITUAL NEED OF THIS WORLD.
TO COME OUT : THE ROUTINE,THE COLDNESS,
THE WORLINESS, THE INDIFFERENCE AND THE
INACTIVITY.
II- SEE- SAW A GREAT MULTITUDE
WE HAVE TO SEE HOW NEEDY THIS WORLD IS.
III-- BE MOVED WITH COMPASSION. AND WAS
MOVED WITH COMPASSION FOR THEM.
MAY WE FEEL BURDEN FOR SO MANY LOST.
IT IS NECESSARY TO BE MOVED WITH
COMPASSION FOR THE LOST.
NO HATRED NOR DESIRES OF VENGEANCE.
I- TEACH - HE BEGAN TO TEACH THEM MANY
THINGS.
TO TEACH THEM THE TRUE WAY OF SALVATION
TO DOCTRINE.
ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE NEEDY
SALM 9:18 BUT THE NEEDY WILL NOT ALWAYS
BE FORGOTTENbr>
WE ARE FOGOTTEN:
-BY OLD FRIENDS.
- IN PROJECT IN WHICH WE ARE NOT
CONSULTED..
(BUT BEFORE WE WERE CONSULTED FOR EVERY
THING)
IN RECOGNITION DISTRIBUTED WITH GOD: WE
WON T BE LEFT ASIDE:
1- YOUR PRAYERS IN THE JURY OF MERCY
2-THE NEED S OF YOUR SOUL THROUGH THE
MESSAGE.
3-IN YOUR SUFFERINGS HE WILL BE YOUR
CONFORT.
WE WON T BE FORGOTTEN
II- THE HOPE OF THE POORS WON T PERISH
FOR EVER.
WE RECEIVE DISAPPOINTMENTS;
-IN OUR HOPE OF JUSTICE,
GRATITUDE,LIKING,LOVE
IN OUR TRUST IN MEN.
IN GOD:
YOUR HOPE WON T PERISH FOR EVER.
BUT YOU WILL RECEIVE MORE OF WHAT YOU
HAD WAITED FOR.
AN OLD MAN WAS ASKED WHEN HE WAS GOING
TO DIE,
WHY HE FELT SO MUCH PEACE.. AND HE SAID,
WHEN I AM ABLE TO THINK, I THINK IN
JESUS; AND WHEN I CANNOT THINK, I KNOW
HE THINK S IN ME.
ISA.49:23 ...YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE
LORD,
FOR THEY SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED WHO WAIT
FOR ME
EARTHLY WISDOM VS
SPIRITUAL
WISDOM.
JAMES 3;13-17
INTRODUCTION: THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF
DIFFERNT WISDOMS: THE EARTHLY WISDOM AND
THE HEAVENLY WISDOM.
1-THE HUMAN WISDOM.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HUMAN WISDOM:
A- IT HAS BITTER JEALOUSY.
B- IT IS FIGHTING.
C- IT IS BOASTING.
D- IT LIES AGAINST THE TRUTH.
THE SOURCE OF THIS WISDOM:
-EARTHLY.
-ANIMAL.
-DEVILISH.
THE WISDOM THAT COMES FROM GOD:
iT IS NOT OUR OWN . IT IS SOMETHING GOD
GRANT US.
1- IT S PURE.-IT S CLEAN FROM
SELFISHNESS.
2-PEACEFUL- IT DOESN T DIVIDE, BUT UNITE
MEN AMONG THEMSELVES AND WITH GOD.
3- IT IS KIND. IT KNOWS HOW TO
FORGIVE,EVEN HAVING THE RIGHT TO
CONDEMN.
4- SUBMISSIVE.- DISPOSE TO OBEY, DISPOSE
TO LISTEN REASONS, DESIROUS TO LEARN.
5- FULL OF MERCY. - COMPASSION FOR THE
ONE THAT SUFFERS, THOUGH HE DESERVES IT.
IT IS MANIFESTED IN PRACTICAL HELP.
6- IMPARTIAL. IT HAS CONVICTIONS.
7- SINCERE.-IT DOESN T DISGUISE TO HIDE
THE REALITY.
IT DOESN T GET INTO A COMEDY TO ACHIEVE
ITS GOALS.
CONCLUSION; THE TRUE WISDOM SEEKS THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS THE ONE WHICH
PRODUCES PEACE.. |
