Notes
Transcript
Telos: Our past is buried in baptism.
Information
Selfies- Moments in time that are captured for future remembrance.
The old nature robs us of our strength, joy, and peace.
It is our kryptonite.
Kryptonite= Something from Superman’s past
You are NOT your past. You are who and what God says you are in His Word.
There is an internal and external war going on in the life of every born-again Christian. There is a war over our true identity.
We bury the dead, because it draws predators and disease.
In Revelation 12:10, Satan is called “the accuser of the brethren” “who accuses them day and night before God.”
Mind, Emotion, and Will
Your Conscience is God inspired, your mind is life inspired.
Is. 55:9-11
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
Inspiration
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Revelation
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Application
Be Baptized!
Declare your demarkation
Demand your mind to dwell on New Life, not on what is dead.
Transformation
My Declaration is:
I choose to walk out of my past into my future.
I choose to be free from my past sin and healed of its scares.
I will not be defined by my past but by God’s Word.
I am who He says I am.
I will study God’s Word to find out who He is and who I am in Christ.
I believe His Word over my feelings, my memories, my mind, and my past.
I’m walking into the future He has created me for, and I’m bringing my children with me.
1 John 3:20 – If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
