WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR IN THE FAITH

2 Corinthians 13:5 (King James Version)
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

INTRO:

I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ALWAYS TRYING TO BE:

  • SOME ONE THEY NOT
  • SOME THING THEY ARE NOT

ITS GOOD TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE

  • IF YOUR SAVED — YOU’RE A CHILD OF THE KING
  • IF YOUR SAVED — YOUR ‘RE AIR TO THE HEAVENLY INHERENCE
  • IF YOU SAVED— YOU’RE A PILGRIM HEADED FOR HEAVEN
  • IF YOUR LOST IN SIN —YOU’RE A CHILD OF THE DEVIL
  • IF YOUR LOST— YOUR AIR TO PAIN AND SUFFERING
  • IF YOUR LOST—YOUR SINNER HEADED FOR A HORRIBLE PIT

WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR IN THE FAITH

  1. YOU STOP BEING CONTROLLED BY THE DEVIL

JAMES 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

  1. AS LONG AS WE ALLOW SATAN TO RULE ANY PART OF OUR LIVES
  2. HE WILL TRY TO (CONN) YOU ANY WAY HE CAN
  3. OFFER YOU YOUR WEAKNESS — THINGS YOU SEE
  4. OFFER YOU YOUR SATISFACTION— THINGS FELL GOOD
  5. OFFER YOU YOUR IMMORTALITY—THING TO LIVE LONGER
  6. AS LONG AS WE ALLOW THE WORLD TO RULE ANY PART OF OUR LIVES

[Matthew 6:24]:No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

MAMMON -Wealth, the god of materialism. the Lord personalizes mammon

  1. WHEN YOU AND I START MAKING STUFF YOUR GOD
  2. SERVE THE GATHERING
  3. SPEND MORETIMEBUILDING BIGGER BARNS TO PUT IT IN
  1. SUBMITTING TO GOD

[Matthew 16:24]:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

  1. TO FOLLOW CHRIST IS BY CHOSE
  2. TO FOLLOW CHRIST IS BY LOVE
  3. TO FOLLOW CHRIST IS BY KNOWING YOUR NOT YOUR OWN BUT GODS

WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR IN THE FAITH

  1. YOU START LIVING FOR THE LORD

II COR. 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

  1. EVERY THING YOU DO GOOD OR BAD YOU WILL STAND BEFORE GOD FOR
  2. NOT ONE BELIEVE WILL BE EXCUSED
  3. WILL BE JUDGE BY CHRIST HIM SELF
  4. EVEN THOUGH ARE SIN ARE FORGIVEN AND ARE NOT JUDGED ON THEM WE WILL BE JUDGED ON WHAT WE DO WITH THE SPECIAL CALLINGS GOD HAS ASK US TO DO
  5. WHETHER THEY BE GOOD OUR BAD
  6. YOU KNOW THAT THE LORD WILL REWARD YOU
  7. FOR SERVING HIM GOOD
  8. YOU KNOW THE LORD WILL TAKE AWAY FOR SERVING HIM BAD

WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR IN THE FAITH

  1. YOU SEE THE VICTORY IS THROUGH THE BLOOD

I COR. 6:20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

  1. BECAUSE OF CHRIST :
  2. WE CAN ENTER THE HOLIEST OF HOLY
  3. DRAWN NIGH UNTO GOD
  4. COVERED GODS SHIELD OF MERCY AND GRACE
  5. IN OUR SELVES WE CAN DO NOTHING

PHI . 4:13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

THERE STILL POWER IN THE BLOOD
