KINGDOM CONFLICT SERIES
TAKE IT PERSONALLY - NO ONE IS EXEMPT__
INTRO : Jimmy Swaggerts fall really rocked my
spirit & caused great alarm - How could it have
happened?
Moral failure, as many since have
fallen - _no one is exempt!
"In a world of loopholes, success often belongs to the clever, the ones who avoid trouble & defeat by exploiting the exemptions.
There is, _
_however, a reality from which no one is emxempt - _
_the reality of sin.
The clever, the spiritual, _
_the young & the old, the affluent & the poor...we _
_are all vulnerable to sins deverstating effects _
_in our lives!"_
Casualties are everywhere: the angry, the
bitter, the depressed, the apathetic, the
fearful, the guilt-ridden, the lonely, the
victimes of broken relationships.
These include
those who willingly sin, thinking they can beat
the system.
The victims are those who are
enjoying their sin for a season, refusing to
believe that _'whatsoever a man sows that he shall
_also reap.'(Gal
6:7)_
We are all vulnerable, all of us.
NO ONE IS
EXEMPT._
__The conflict within and without___
- We have all thought at sometime, 'Satan is
attacking my life'.
Actually, Satan is not
omnipresent & therefore can be only in one place
at a time.
God's word indicates much of his time
is taken up accusing the brethren before God's
throne, day & night (Rev.12:10).
Though there
are legions of demon spirits, they don't normally
have to interact with us personally to create
conflict.
Our _'inner tendancy'_ to sin & the
network of sin around us are sufficient to ignite
the conflict.
Satan is the master of this
network, God's word calls it the _cosmos_(world).
- Cosmos, the world around us, appeals to the
flesh, the world within us.
The N.T. labels this
sin problem as the 'flesh'.
_1 John 2:15-16 Note _
_that the world is defined by the stuff within us.
- _Galatians 5_ talks of this inner struggle common
to all of us, & also lists the results when we
choose to allow the flesh dominion._
_- To gain the victory, first we must know
_ourselves.
Our own weakness often lies in our
_quickness to excuse our sin._
Take a look.
Are there some kinks in your
personal armour._
__Excuses in the conflict___
~* I can't help myself_
~* I've always been this way_
~* I've tried to change, but I can't_
~* I'm better than a lot of other people I know
~* It doesn't hurt anyone, does it?_
~* It's my environment, it overwhelms me!_
~* It's the only pleasure I allow myself._
The habit of sin or 'slips' of life are excused.
It's really no 'big thing'._
_"We weaken ourselves by lacking the integrity to _
_admit personal responsibility for our choices."_
_"Excuses are the anesthetic of Satan that numbs _
_us to the operation of sin in our lives."_
_Illustr - Excusing our sin.__
A plumber left a note on his illegally parked car
which said, "plumber at work inside."
Next to
the note was a ticket & another note which read,
"Cop at work outside."
Like the plumber we may
excuse ourselves & feel quite safe.
Yet, in
reality we are guilty before God & in jeopardy
with Him, & the consequences of sin._
_Illustr - Passing the blame__
A Satisfying way of excusing sin is to pass the
blame.
It starts early in life.
Junior comes
running in from outside, crying & showing teeth
marks on his arm, saying, "Dad, Sally bit me!"
You wisely respond, "Johnny, why did she bite
you?
What did you do to her?" "But Dad, she bit
me", he pleads with great urgency.
"I know, but
