KEVIN PULL UP PHILLIPIANS 3: 12-14
SCRIPTURE:
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
SERMON:
IN OUR TEXT WE FIND APOSTLE PAUL SPEAKING TO THE CHURCH AT PHILIPI
IN VERSE 14 ( PUT 14 ON THE BOARD) PAUL SAYS HE
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH TONIGHT WE MUST UNDERSTAND WHAT PAUL MEANS BY PRESSING TOWARD THE MARK.
THE WORD PRESS IN THE DREEK IS “DIOKO”
DEFINED AS: To impel”: a. “to set in rapid motion”; a carriage
THE MARK IS SALVATION!
THE HIGH CALLING IS REVELATION OF OUR POSITION OF SALVATION WHILE WE YET STILL HERE IN THE EARTH.
( IN HIM) WHICH MEANS WE ARE ALREADY SEATED IN HEAVEN!!!!
1. DOES ANY ONE IN HEAR KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A MANUEL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE?
LET ME REPHRASE THAT HAS ANYONE HERE EVER DRIVEN AN OLD SCHOOL MANUEL SHIFT TRANSMISSION COMMONLY REFEREED TO AS A STICK SHIFT.
SEE TO DAYS CARS HAVE LIGHT THAT COMES ON TO TELL TO WHEN TO CHANGE GEARS.
BUT OLD SCHOOLS YOU USED TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE ENGINE TO DETERMINE WHEN TO CHANGE GEARS.
BECAUSE IF YOU MISSED THE TIMING THE CAR WOULD SPUTTER AND LOSE SPEED.
AND THE LORD IS SAYING THAT A LOT OF CHURCHES AND BELIEVERS ARE STUCK IN THE SAME GEARS IN THE SPIRIT OR MISS TIMING THE SHIFTS OF GEARS IN THE SPIRIT WHICH IS CAUSING THEM TO SPUTTER AND LOSE SPEED AND MISS THE BLESSINGS GOD HAS FOR THEM.
AND THIS IS KEEP
AND PAUL HEAR IN PHILIPPIANS IS TELLING US ABOUT HIS SPIRITUAL HIS GEAR CHANGING!
AND THE LORD SAYS THAT IF YOU CAN DUPLICATE THE GEAR SHIFT THAT PAUL DID WE WILL GET THE RESULT THAT PAUL GOT.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
FIRST GEAR: PAUL SHIFTED FROM HIMSELF :
WE HAVE TO PUT OUR TRUST IN GOD!~
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
2. PAUL SHIFTED FROM: DOCTRINE AND TRADITIONS OF MEN!
WE HAVE TO BE LEAD BY THE SPIRIT
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
3. PAUL SHIFTED FROM THE CONDEMNATION OF THE LAW TO LIVE IN THE CONVICTION OF THE SPIRIT WITH THE CONFIDENCE OF THE FINISH WORK OF CHRIST.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
4. PAUL PLACED HIS VALUE IN HEAVEN NOT ON THE THINGS OF THE EARTH!
PAUL PLACED HIS VALUE IN HEAVEN NOT ON THE THINGS OF THE EARTH!
WE HAVE TO PUT OUR VALUE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!
PHILIPIANS 3:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
5. PAUL SHIFTED TO AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST!!!
PAUL SHIFTED TO AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST!!!
WE HAVE TO KNOW CHRIST IN THE SPIRIT LIKE ADAM KNEW EVE IN TE NATURAL
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
6. PAUL HERE DEFINES THE SANCTIFICATION PROCESS OF CHASING AFTER GOD!
WTW:
WHEN DRIVING A STICK YOU HAVE TO DO THREE THINGS!
THAT WE ALSO HAVE TO DO IN THE SPIRIT FOR GO TO CHANGE THE GEARS IN OUR LIFE AND CHURCH.
HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL!
WE HAVE TO HOLD THE STERING WHEEL OF FAITH
PRESS THE GAS:
WE HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PAST OUR FEARS
PUSH THE CLUTCH:
WE HAVE TO PUSH THE CLUTCH WHEN WE HEAR HIS VOICE
ONCE WE HAVE DONE OUR PART GOD WILL SHIFT THE GEARS TO SET US IN A RAPID MOTION
