Something to Hold To- 1 Peter 2-1-3

Immature person always want they have the clips of what an exciting like look like but never the substance of the light that it took that we drove by a proper diet verse 3. If so be he had tasted somebody says taste and see that the Lord is good. The word of God is the source of your growth.

Find that they are many individuals fact. There are many who are going through difficult times of some of us might have said I'm going to throw in the towel on that one up that particular test. I don't think I need to take on skip over that one and maybe when the next one come around I will do that test but the reality is this no one can escape chest. Whether you are in an academic setting or whether you in life test will find trials will find a relationship at your job. They'll find you at your school. They'll find you all kinds of ways. People are going to text you and you going to test yourself because there's some things that we all wrestling with one the inside and sometimes what about biggest close is the things that we think about ourselves because of things that we have gone through and I own lives and so darling stuff in our mind overcoming Yeah, I did. So we have opportunity for plenty of test for the last few weeks. We've been talking about this idea of a lively. Hope we have come from the book of Peter 1st Peter to be specific. And in this first book of Peter, we first of all talk about the idea of a lively hope that the hope that we have is one that has substance in purpose to it as a hope that gives birth to life is a hope that helps to sustain us through difficult times. It's that type of boat but not only talk about a lively. Hope we talk about what we would call it investigated. Hope in other words. We just didn't Embrace something that somebody said he had to look at it for myself and I really have in mind with this idea but usually related to this investigated. Hope is it something has to do without young folk whose mother and father? Play light. And at some point in time they leave out of these hallowed Halls. If you will this these nice Sanctified choose if you will do and they find themselves in a secular environment and now it was time for your face to be your favorites to the mama and daddy still. So unless you've investigated it for yourself. You don't know for yourself that is your face know where you might have been riding on the coattails of Mama and Daddy's baby. But when you got out there you find out you had to defend your faith for yourself. So you had you investigated claims of Christ for yourself to make sure that it was a mess. So we moved from that damn chain right on into last week. What we dealt with last week had to deal with those three words. And the first we talked about words that had to deal with the fact that we have been Sanctified. We've been set apart that we will kill those type to think you had to deal with those things that came out of what was what first Peter was dealing with and then finally he dealt with God's enduring God's word. That is God's word is substitute God's word is eternal that when everything else fails as Peter says he said this way he says for All Flesh is grass and all the glory of man as a fiberglass the grass withers and the flowers They're off all the way. But the word of the Lord endureth forever. This has to be that the message that is priest and this has to be the message that's received because that message is the message that will help us get through all of our time the hold on. Hold on.

But when you going through difficult times you need.

to hold onto to get you through. Next day the next few moments that you spoke. You did not study because that father we know we have a sure Foundation upon which we can stand. So God Lord that you speak to your people that you encourage our hearts and father for that one. That doesn't know your father. May you encourage them today make that decision to follow after you claim you as the Savior and then Lord we ask you today in Jesus idea of What it means to go through a difficult time.

Is the parent that the government? is prosecuted

that they don't believe that Jesus is King off that Jesus is for Don Cherry. Oscar is King because low is King. That means that all those who don't subscribe to that. Under the boot give you will the law that Peter has to continue to encourage the Saints to have first of all hope that is an expectation. That is a better outcome of their present situation and you try to get them to keep hope alive as it going through a difficult time you trying to get them to hold on not only two. Not just for the fact that they're alive, but the fact that they can't get through the next day and that the god that they have trusted from have not Forsaken and that he's ready he's able to keep them over against that day. He is able to do that. And so he's encouraging them over and over and over again. Can we come to this time? What do what Peter says here? Is this right here. He said look now you folk saying. We saw that the last time you woke up you are born again to a lively hope so, you know that you're supposed to be saved and there's certain things that saved for stew and sister something to say for certain things that same photo.

even in the midst of difficult time

The way we find out how much Jesus sent us is when you do something to us in the Mist about difficult time.

Trying to take you for that. Jesus is in you as I was saying yes to being persecuted. Yes. The government is going after you and yes, this is acting a fool but you are supposed to be a mature or you should be a mature Christian so uses this connective word hear that goes back to if you will he goes back to the first a particular set of thoughts that he had about God's enduring work. He says where's for That word means based on the fact.

All Flesh will fail Goodbye forever based on the fact that you have been purified from these things. He says you are to your own self lay aside all malice the other things but there's a reason why he mentions these five things these five things. That means that you're not living a life that manifested you convert.

These things speak of an imperial life. Now. You've been purified when he goes back to the previous version. But if you do not think you're doing these things in manifest that you are not Psychopaths. Okay, and they speak of A Life That's ruled by people who are born again blood born and baptized if you will they have a problem with

You know and you give me talking to me.

Forgiveness intention one another and find resolution. You have to let go of one or continuing practicing the other one and you continue to practice fractionator.

the best thing to do is to protect individual

This is not even your head out there, but they mad fast like that's unconverted. They speak about en Pure Life That's Good by anger instead of Grace as we need to hold on to as we are navigating through our situation. The First Security gives us is to lay aside unconverted by staff. You say something about malice. What person said that malice is congealed anger, you know what you waiting for the opportunity to get back to the body it manifests and unforgiving spirit. That's just waiting for an opportunity is Insidious as Sinister is planning and strategizing you can get back.

And Christians shouldn't have it because it's only one. First in the Bible says that he wants about seeking whom he may devour it sold the practice that means that we are making our self or change a map pictures of with you as a preacher. I have never had as much stuff happened to me has those individuals who are preachers that went out to me. Why are you riding in planning because of something because of some excess that they feel that you had that they don't have to use the word all and it was meaning all and all of it. That means that any type of Iteration any type of manifestation any type of mutation is going in your mind. He said put that to the side and it's in the middle of the variables means that God is not going to do it for you to Mentor you described as right now, get some things. Because that's when they grow up.

And always had to clean up so he just put the shovel in front of you. Show me a picture of a broom when I get to work.

From that point forward you what he expected it to be carried out when he returned. He didn't say when it going to return when he got that because

So Peter says that in the midst of saw one of these and we have to do is we have to mentor and part of that is be at the last side and unforgiving spirit also evil evil here. He's mentioned it here as dial. I just got out. It's a deliberate watch. This is a deliberate and buying through which we tried to see in people. My goodness, can I get a snapshot today?

They do this by Brothers sword sword Soul Sister Servants of God bless. You have a smile upon him.

Because I know what they doing today pimping you in the world.

Dial that conversation. You said a man in whom there is no guile. So you owe me so that I can be favorite biscuits and you see people do it all the time in the church.

This is guile and Annette has to do with what we talked about the fake protocol of peyote in love. So evil. Dial but then the next one is Envy Envy Envy. I want to think that I know it about this is something just something about Envy that's that's really fascinating you to have something somebody else has for you, but you're already married to her but you upset because she's not responding where you want to hear the person. He likes her because you don't have her. Oh Lord, swimming in Sinister, but it is about the idea of being.

You know, it's the kind of has a long reach the shows up later on. All of this Peter is talking about is us with Tori. In the mission that said he moves on here when he gets two verse number to the person encouragement is the last side unconverted fight Lifestyles. But secondly, he tells us to hold on to something that is to embrace proper nourishment.

Christian life is about progress. It's about rolling Ford. It's about us. It's about maturity. It's not about staying in the same place you are it's not a point where you always not only accumulated information, but you're applying it's not it's not the age. It's the mileage. because a person who doesn't mean that they but you in places where you need to happen to people with when you were being persecuted you need for a sound like Where you a marriage you need people? Who are they have a sound mind if I share a man is such that it is watch the skinniest Ernest. Okay. Is it about immature your newborn baby? But it's anger is earnest that is desire. That when we were born we were raised without the sky girls.
