Breath of life
prophecy
goes into valley with dry bones
God tells him that the dead bones can come alive again
God instructs prophet to speak truth to the bones
the bones begin to come back to life just as God said
think life - knowing that God and His Word hold the truth and life
speak life - there is power in our words
LIVE LIFE
1 Thes 5:5-
we are the children of God
let us live life children of God
If you were part of a royal family
would you live in the slums?
would you participate in activities or dress in a way that was not representing who you are? beneath your means and class?
What if your biological parents were both professional athletes and were build like body builders?
mom lifting weights & dad lifting her
wouldn’t it be strange if you were a little runty and scrawny and tripped over your own feet?
it wouldn’t seem right would it?
As Children of God
our Father is the King of kings and Lord of lords
He made everything from nothing
He has no rival - none that compares to His strength and power
He is holy and perfect in all of His ways
The bible says that were were made in His image and likeness
BUT
DOES YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE HIS?
Jesus didn’t fly off the handle in a temper tantrum when He didn’t get His way
He wasn’t out getting smashed over the weekend to help Him cope with the stress of being the Savior of the World
He wasn’t giving into temptation or making excuses for doing so
He lived by the Word of God
AND NOW
He has given us the power of the Holy Spirit so that we (as children of God) may live life as Jesus did!
that’s why 1 Thes says ESV
1 Thes 5:
So our daily activity should come from our new identity
Let us live life like we are children of God
That sounds good but how?
Know that you are not a lone ranger
there is power in Christian community
YOU ARE THE AVERAGE OF THE FIVE PEOPLE THAT YOU SPEND THE MOST TIME WITH...
so the easiest way to change your life is to change your friends
don’t look for people who are like you
look for those who you want to live like
have you ever noticed that we behave differently when we are around different groups of people?
my attitude changes
when I am around faith filled friends it is easier to have an attitude of faith
my posture changes
when I am with people who are living the abundant life then I have more confidence
The desires you feel pulling in the wrong direction are not who you really are // You died remember
remember
living a new life means doing the opposite of what we feel
PROBLEM: many of us are passions slave
Michael Phelps
Bob Bowman- “One thing that separates Michael from other swimmers, is that if they don’t feel good they don’t swim good.
That’s not the way it is for Michael.
Michael performs no matter what he is feeling.
He has practiced it for a long time.”
Phelps said - “For 5 years, 1998-2003, we did not believe in days off.
I had one because of a snowstorm, two more due to the removal of wisdom teeth.
Christmas?
see you at the pool.
Thanksgiving?
pool.
Birthdays?
pool.
Sponsor obligations?
work them out around practice time.
swims good even when he doesn’t feel good
same is true spiritually
the bible isn’t telling us what to feel
it tells us what to do
don’t do what you feel is right
love when you don’t feel like it
Pay attention to your feelings but don’t let them run your life
Your daily activity should come from your new identitiy
I’M NOT ASKING YOU TO PRETEND THAT YOU ARE SOMEONE THAT YOU ARE NOT… I’M ASKING YOU TO ACT LIKE GOD SAYS THAT YOU ARE!
