Acts 15:28-29

Your body is valuable to the Holy Spirit. (Created. Healed. Resurrected. Rewarded. Habitat. Purchased)

The Holy Spirit has no intention of burdening your life.

1. Don’t go swimming if you are bleeding.

[It’s hard to have high standards with low self-esteem]

Low self-esteem dishonors God. [Painting by Lana]

Low self-esteem produces low standards.

Low self-esteem attracts sharks.

Solution: Your worth is determined by how you are loved, not how you look.

Psalm 139:14

Example: 2005 Chrysler 500C.

Joseph story: he got dreams while wearing colorful garment….people get nightmares wearing insecurity

2. You can’t walk far with baggage.

[Purity is a burden to those with emotional baggage]

Emotional baggage is hurtful, unfair things done to you by people very close you.

Don’t stain your future with the dirt of rejection from the past.

Rejection at birth, childhood, closest friend, betrayal, abuse, abandonment.

Solution: God can only redeem what He heals. He can only heal what you release.

Wounds, scars, and stars. Wounds neglected become wounds infected!

3. Raise your value by getting rid of salvaged title.

Lazarus came out of tomb but was clothed with grave clothes - insecurity, hurt, and shame.

If you don’t know that Jesus does not condemn you, you can’t go and sin no more!!!

Can be fixed but value drops because salvaged title!

Forgiveness does not give you salvaged title. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Cross stripped Jesus of good garment, so that it can strip you of your grave clothes.

Grace is not license to sin, it’s power to walk in purity!

Don’t lower your price, don’t settle for less, don’t accept problems as result of accident.

Salvation and righteousness is what you have to wear - conscience….
