Pastor Jordan did great

1 Peter 5:5 NKJV

5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

Humility conducts the grace of God like copper conducts electricity

Pride creates a resistor in your life

It impedes the flow

Goes from there to destruction

Humility creates the conductivity God’s grace in your life

Humility opens the flow of God’s grace

Watch how quickly the grace flows with humility

Go from a prodigal in a pig pen/ to a party pretty quickly

We must submit to God’s way of doing things

it creates the capacity for his Grace in our lives

Our Core Value for this week is:

Health

2 Peter 1:3 NKJV

3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

Priority

● Everything we need is found in Him. How we treat and lead others is a direct reflection of our relationship with God. We prioritize our relationship with God daily so that it brings health to every area in our life.

Are you Healthy?

Not are you not sick

Are you healthy

A lot of people look at health as the lack of sickness

It’s so much more than that

Health is attractive:

Health in your personal life

in your marriage

in your family

it’s attractive to people around you

The problem is in a highlight real society most people look healthy

But when you get to know them truth is exposed

Pastors that can build big churches/Leaders that build big business

charismatic

people are attracted to them

they are good salesmen

Addiction

You cannot Fake health

You cannot fake endurance

Health not Laws

The whole goal of our core values, leadership standards

Not that there is just Rules

Even though it’s called the house Rules series

It’s so you are healthy

Heart changes

What does it look like to be Healthy?

This is two fold

Spirit/Body

1. Sometime getting Healthy looks like cutting stuff out

Laying things down/Like pride be teachable

Picking things up

Sometime healthy looks like a crucifixion to your flesh

Telling yourself no

Telling your body no

Hebrews 12:1 NKJV

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

The writer of Hebrews:

sporting references are often used in the Bible

Paul talks about running the race with endurance

In order for us to finish the race that God has for us we have to be healthy

1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV

23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

CUT ON MY TOE

Last week you might have had to dig stuff out of you soul

Out of your mind

Out of your life to get healthy

Galatians 5:17 NKJV

17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

2. The Spirit man Has to be calling the shots

Who’s calling the shots?

Your routine?

Your relationship?

You spend hours on your physical health, how about you start working on your spiritual health

Athletes- freak athletes

Actors

Physically fit/Spiritually scrawny

Walking around all billy bad

getting wrecked by the devil

Getting wrecked by their flesh

Spiritually emaciated

POW getting released from Prison

Vietnam vets here

3. What you feed grows

You have to eat the right foods Daily

Daily Encounters

Psalm 1:2 NKJV

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

● We set aside time daily to meet with the Creator of the universe. We seek to know Him more intimately every day. Our delight is in knowing God.

When you switch to eating the right foods:

your energy gets better

your outlook looks better

your attitude changes

YOUR CRAVING CHANGES

When get in God’s word your desires will change!

Your outlook with be different

YOUR spirit will tell you when you’re eating the wrong things

4. Health is the key to longevity

1 Timothy 4:8 NKJV

8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

Bodily exercise does profit

Get healthy

Go for a walk

Get off your phone

Play a sport

MOVE!!!!

Rest is just as important as training too

Someone of you have been on permanent rest with your walk with God or excercise

1 Corinthians 9:24–27 NKJV

24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

Be competitive with your relationship with God

Doesn’t mean you have to tell everyone how hard you work

But outwork everyone

5. To be Healthy you have to be disciplined:

Both spirit and in truth

How much of us feeling bad mentally or spiritually comes from

lack of sleep

bad nutrition

lack of exercise

How much your diet affects everything in your life

This week

6. The enemy wants to sideline you

Focus on your injuries

Triathlon

Proverbs 24:16 NKJV

16 For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.

Get back UP

Your setback is God’s set up for your comeback! -Author

Have you let something sideline you from being spiritually healthy? Has an injury kept you from running the race?

Time to get back in the game this morning

Heart Health is the most important

2 Peter 1:3 NKJV

3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

John 3:16 NKJV

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Romans 10:13 NKJV

13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Sinners Prayer:

Father God, I give you my life

I give you my heart, I give you my all

I repent today for my past

I thank you my sins are forgiven

I believe in Jesus and that he died on the cross and rose again

I make you the Lord and Savior of my life

I love you God

In Jesus name amen
