Sermon Tone Analysis

* *

*Isa 61:3*

*3 *….that they might be called* trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, *that he might be glorified.

* *

*Rom 7:23-25*

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against *the law of my mind(spirit~/soul)*, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So then *with the mind(spirit~/soul) I (have chosen) myself (to) serve the law of God*; but with the flesh the law of sin.

(KJV)

 

·      *Whatever we have our minds(spirit~/soul) set on we will have in our lives!

*

* *

*Rom 8:5-13*

5 Those who live according to the sinful nature *have their minds(spirit~/soul) set on(in agreement with) what that nature desires*; but those who *live in accordance with the Spirit* *have their minds(spirit~/soul) set on(in agreement with) what the Spirit desires.*

6 The mind of sinful man is death, but *the mind controlled* by the Spirit is life and peace;

7 the sinful mind is hostile to God.

It does not submit to God's law, *nor can it do so*.

8 *Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God*.

9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you.

And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation-- but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.

13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,

 

*Matt 22:37*

37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your *heart* and with all your *soul* and with *all your mind*.' (NIV)

 

·      *Unless we do with this dedication, we will not make it!*

*Mark 8:27-38*

27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi.

On the way he asked them, "*Who do people say I am?"*

28 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets."

29 "But what about you?" he asked.

"*Who do you say I am*?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.

32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter.

"Get behind me, Satan!" he said.

"*You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."*

 

·      *Here in Matthew we have recorded something else what Jesus said to Peter!*

 

* *

* *

*Matt 16:17-19*

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, *Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.*

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And *I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven*: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

(KJV)

 

·      *WOW can you see what is in these verses?

Jesus is saying that if we grasp this way of thinking, this way of getting revelation knowledge from God we will have the keys to the kingdom of God and by this principle God will build his Church and Satan cannot stop it!*

* *

1.   Stop receiving revelation from flesh and blood and get it from the father

2.   Upon this foundation(of revelation knowledge) He will build his church

3.

He will give us the keys to the kingdom

 

·      *How do we get the mind to obey the word of God?*

 

*1.

**Develop the Fruit of the Spirit!*

*2.   **Change what we will feed into our minds.*

*3.   **Make a decision based on the revealed knowledge of God.*

*4.   **Bring our mouths into line with our decisions*.

*Develop the fruit of the Spirit!*

* *

*Gal 5:16-25*

16 This I say then, *Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh*.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But *the fruit of the Spirit* is* love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith(fulness**)**,*

*23 Meekness, temperance*: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

(KJV)

 

*1 Cor 13:4-8a*

4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;

6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

7 bears all things, *believes all things*, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails….

·      *This is a statement about love NOT how love should act but, how love acts! *

·      *So is the fruit of the spirit!

You do not go to a fruit tree each year and remind it to produce fruit, do you?(Gen.1:11)

*

·      *Most of us do not sin consciously!

We do it many times without thinking, because like Paul in Ro.7 we have found a law, one that produces sin in us, all we have to do is yield to it.

Just like this we can have another ruling Law in us, the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, We can be fruit led too.

*

·      *A THOUGHT: New fruit is produced by planting seed, Like fruit is produced by planting branches(taking from the vine itself).*

* *

*Matt 7:16-21*

16 *Ye shall know them by their fruits*.

Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

* *

*Matt 3:7-11*

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 *Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance*:

9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore /every tree/ which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

 

·      *You will only produce what you are, not what you know*!

* *

*Matt 12:33-35*

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for *the tree is known by his fruit.*

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?

for *out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.*

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.(KJV)

*Change what we will feed into our minds.*

·      You can never go further than what you feed into your mind.
