BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD - SERMON

BE STILL

What does the word Be Still Mean?

Be Still = Let Loose… , Forgive ..., Allow it to…, Free from You...

We have to keep moving in Gods GENERAL WILL?

HOW MANY KNOW GOD’S WILL FOR THERE LIFE.

1 Timothy 2:2–4 (NLT)

2 Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and pleases God our Savior, 4 who WANTS(WILL) everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.

1 Peter 2:13–16 (NLT)

13 For the Lord’s sake, submit to all human authority—whether the king as head of state, 14 or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right.

15 It is GOD’S WILL that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. 16 For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves (servant-KJV), so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.

CULTURAL INFLUENCES

1 Thessalonians 4:3–8 (NLT)

3 God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. 4 Then each of you will CONTROL HIS OWN BODY and live in holiness and honor—5 not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways. 6 Never harm or cheat a fellow believer in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before. 7 God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives. 8 Therefore, anyone who REFUSES to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is REJECTING God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

1 Thessalonians 4:3 KJV “3 For this is the will of God, even your SANCTIFICATION, that ye should abstain from fornication:”

Am I doing the the things that PROMOTE sanctification?
