13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Tonight’s Subject “DON’T LET YOUR FLESH CAUSE YOUR DEATH” SUB-TOPIC SOULISH REALM VS.

LED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

NOW I KNOW THIS WEEKEND IS ABOUT WISDOM AND I PROMISE YOU THIS GOING TO BE ABOUT WISDOM

PACE YOURSELF

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW THAT ONE THING OR SEVERAL THINGS COULD HAVE GONE IF YOU RESPONDED DIFFERENT?

PAUSE..... 5 SECS

LET’S TAKE A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE

IAM GOING TO TALK ABOUT ME FIRST BECAUSE EVERYONE IN HERE ARE PERFECT LITTLE ANGELS WHO HAVE DONE NO WRONG.

JUS KIDDIN.

LET’S TALK ABOUT A TIME WHEN I WOULD JUMP DOWN YOUR THROAT THE MOMENT YOU SAID SOMETHING I DIDN’T LIKE TO ME.

YES THERE WAS A TIME WHERE I WOULD CUSS YOU OUT OR BE READY TO FIGHT YOU JUST FOR A SARCASTIC REMARK OR WHAT I FELT WAS DISRESPECTING ME.

I KNOW SOME OF YALL SAYING NOW PASTOR ISAAC YOU’RE SUCH A BIG TEDDY BEAR NICE GUY AND WOULDN’T HURT A FLY.....

19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

DO YOU REMEMBER A TIME WHERE THINGS JUST DIDN’T GO THE WAY YOU THOUGHT THEY SHOULD HAVE?

NOW ASK YOURSELF WERE YOU LED BY YOUR FLESH (YOUR SOULISH REALM) OR BY THE SPIRIT (HOLY SPIRIT) WHATEVER YOUR ANSWER WAS CAN HELP YOU UNLOCK A MISSING COMPONENT OR AREA OF CHANGE THAT IS NEEDED FOR ALL OF US TO MOVE INTO THIS NEXT SEASON.

29  Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,

but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

18  A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,

but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.

32  Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,

and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

11  Good sense makes one slow to anger,

and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCRIPTURES IS:

I find it interesting that the word of God says That creation is waiting on US.

Don’t you find it funny that God says the earth is waiting on US to get our act together.

UHHHH NO PRESSURE JESUS.

Waiting for US to get our IDENTITY in check.

TO ACTUALLY NOT HAVE AN IDENTITY CRISIS.

WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN THE CHURCH?

DISHONOR

FALSE PROPHETS

BUILDING PERSONAL KINGDOMS NOT GOD’S KINGDOM

MANY CHURCH’S SUPPRESS THE GIFTS OF MANY CHURCHGOERS

WHAT AM I SAYING?

DO I RUN AWAY FROM THE CHURCH?

DO I STAY?

IF I STAY WHERE DO I FELLOWSHIP?

WELL ONE COULD SAY THAT THIS IS BIBLICAL PROPHESY COMING TO PASS.

TODAY’S SOCIETY IS DIRECTLY A CORRELATION OF LIVING IN BY THE FLESH.

AS THE ADVERSARY WOULD SAY “DO IS AS THOU WILT”, HOWEVER I DIDN’T COME TO TALK ABOUT him I came to give you 3 things that will change your life by walking by the spirit of God.

Led of the Holy Spirit will take you in Uncomfortable places to test your Trust in the Father

4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written,

“ ‘Man shall not live by bread alone,

but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”

2. Being led of the spirit will lead you to the provision you have been looking for.

7 And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

The Widow of Zarephath

8 Then the word of the LORD came to him, 9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there.

Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath.

And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks.

And he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.”

11 And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”

and we all know how this story ends she started the first oil company and paid off her debt and her and her son lived off the rest for the rest of their days.

Finally

3. Being led of the spirit brings you into the promises of God

29 By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.

31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.

32 And what more shall I say?

For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ.

And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

What am I saying your flesh will

kill your future

take you away from God’s promises

There is no life in the flesh

TODAY MAKE THE DECISION TO WALK BY THE SPIRIT TO SHOW YOU ARE THE

SONS OF GOD

SO YOU WILL HAVE LIFE

SHOW YOU ARE A JOINT HEIR WITH CHRIST THROUGH BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD

20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ.

And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

WHERE ARE THE SONS OF GOD WE ARE THE SONS OF GODS IT’S OUR TIME TO TAKE OUR PLACE AND STEP INTO OUR RIGHTFUL HEIRSHIP
