2 mirrors/the process

Romans 8:14–17 NT:TOG
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For you have not again received the spirit of bondage, that you may fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are the children of God; 17 and, if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together.
Romans 8:14-17
Romans 8:14–16 NT:TOG
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not again received the spirit of bondage, that you may fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are the children of God;
- 16
passion translation (explain why)
The MATURE children of God are those who are moved by the IMPULSES of the HOLY SPIRIT. And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. BUT you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of TENDER AFFECTION, “Beloved Father!” For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he WHISPERS INTO OUR INNERMOST BEING, “YOU ARE GOD’S BELOVED CHILD!”
And since we are His true children, we qualify to share ALL HIS TREASURES, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that he is and all that he has. We will experience being CO-GLORIFIED with him provided that we accept his sufferings as our own.
4 things from these Scriptures we are going to talk about:
Being led by the Spirit of God / love is the key / impulses of the hs
Full acceptance of God / relation to family of God
Beloved Child / understanding His love / taking it in and release out -grace
Joint heirs with Christ/partakers of His treasure - miracles, joy, vision
Mature children - sons and daughters - where are you in the process of being a mature son or daughter of christ ?
2 mirrors -
one mirror is being a son and a daughter Kingdom Culture
one mirror is being flesh/united with enemy World Culture
every day you are reflecting one of these mirrors or both depending on the day depending on the circumstance
son and daughter mirror is flesh/enemy
led by the Spirit of God led by flesh/me or devil
intimacy with Spirit
how do I do this:
heavenly minded earthly/fleshly minded
Maturing in Christ is a matter of self control, obedience, faith, holiness,
not maturing is a matter of self control, obedience, faith, holiness also
world conscious me conscious God conscious
2 umbrellas - everyday you are cover yourself by one umbrella or another
one umbrella = walking in the word/Holy Spirit
second umbrella = walking in flesh/promptings of enemy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
we have a good Pastor who has taught us about holiness, faith, etc. so I am not going to talk about those in detail but I am going to tell you they are involved in everything you do every day.
What does it mean to be a son or a daughter of God?
led by the Spirit of God - walk in the love of god at all times
this is a choice
this group probably already knows adultery is sin
when I read something in Scripture it is my choice to do it or not
this group - big sins vs little sins (all are big sins and separate us from God
big sins - adultery, addiction, sexual sins, violence, robbery, murder
other sins - bitterness, gossip, hate, pride,
Moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit:
So where are you at in the process of being led in love by the Spirit of God?
for yourself, friends, spouses, relatives, a driver who cuts you off?
Where are you in the process of being a servant of God?
Are you a living testimony of who Jesus is?
Where are you in the process of sharing in Jesus’ treasures?
flesh
Where are you in the process of experiencing Co-glory with Him?

Being Led by the Spirit of God
Romans 8:5 NT:TOG
5 For those who are according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Romans 8:5-
Romans 8:5–9 NT:TOG
5 For those who are according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. 7 Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can it be. 8 Those, then, who are in the flesh, can not please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now, if any one has not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
we already know we have to read and stay close in communion with God Learning to hear his voice is imperative as a person in process one way to distinguish the voice of god is to know that it is always a voice of unity and love and never ever goes against gods word
Romans 8:5
These scriptures tell me that my mind is constantly going to be in battle
so to be led by the spirit of god I need to have a relationship with god and the closer we get the more the Spirit of God leads us
which means i have to know the person of the Holy Spirit
Those who are MOTIVATED by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. but those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities. (what pleases God)
better known as promptings
For the mind set of the flesh is death, but the mind set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.
But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things (passion says Spirit of Holiness)
John 16:13-15
John 16:13–15 NT:TOG
13 But when he, the Spirit of the truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; but what he hears, that will he speak, and he will show you things to come. 14 He will glorify me; for he will take of mine, and show it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are mine; for this reason I said, that he will take of mine, and show it to you.
In fact, the mind set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to his direction, because it cannot! For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh.
The Spirit of God wants to lead you into truth - Jesus is the word and he is truth
Spirit of Truth will glorify Jesus, he longs to Please Jesus and all he knows to talk about is Jesus All he knows to show you is Jesus All he wants is for you to be transformed into Jesus
Take of mine ????
Book of Acts talks alot about the Sprit of God leading the disciples and lay people in the direction of truth
1 Corinthians 2:10–12 NT:TOG
10 But God has revealed them to us through his Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of man, but the spirit of man which is in him? Even so, the things of God no one knows, but the Spirit of God. 12 And we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God:
Passion translation:
For we did not receive this world system (world culture) but the Spirit of God so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us. And we articulate these realities with the words imparted to us by the Spirit and not with words taught by human wisdom we join together Spirit revealed truths with Spirit revealed words. Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit
Galatian 4:6 He sent forth
walk in the Spirit
how do I do this: world culture verses kingdom culture which is what the Spirit wants to lead us in
Gala 5:22 fruit of Holy Spirit (come back to)
If i concentrate on the flesh Im going to live in the flesh if i concentrate on the Spirit i will be in the spirit
how do I do this: world culture verses kingdom culture which is what the Spirit wants to lead us in
SPIRIT SOUL BODY

II Spirit of Full acceptance, enfolding you into the family of God
He asked who are you looking for and jesus said I am he He had just been in tremendous agony praying bc he knew his time had come
the soldiers fell to the grown when Jesus said I am he - (john)
Power in Prayer - and Obedience
SPIRIT SOUL BODY
Peter ready to fight for Jesus
God conscience intellect world conscience
intuition mind (thoughts) physical (flesh)
Cut off the guards ear Jesus corrects Peter
5 senses feelings (emotions) 5 senses
so peter had a way of thinking that was not in the mission of
going from flesh to Spirit means i have to be AWARE of ME!
God’s Law/Bible behavior (will) man’s law
God but a world conscious way of thinking even tho Peter was the one Jesus asked who do you think I am and Peter said you are the Christ
Communion Self awareness Communion w/m
with God
leads to life Leads to death
belief system =- thought patterns - feelings/behaviors
when we are wounded in life it sets the stage for us to have an incorrect belief system examples - dad alcoholic - hard to relate to god as father
Romans 8:5-9
church hurts from last church we attended - not a trusting person
Romans 8:5–9 NT:TOG
5 For those who are according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. 7 Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can it be. 8 Those, then, who are in the flesh, can not please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now, if any one has not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
holy spirit wants to lead us out of these hurts and give complete healing
(prayer chair and brent - signing over me)
So being led by the Holy Spirit means i have to look at my motivation - is this a being in love thing - any other motive is wrong really pleasing God with this or am I pleasing my flesh? The Holy Spirit only works and speaks out of Love - Jesus kind of Love Not like the worlds SOMETIMES THAT REQUIRES A SACRIFICE ON MY PART
Three types of people
those who live in condemnation alot
those who live in alot of opinions as to how things should be
those who understand who they are in Christ and conflict is done in love for the benefit of unity
we are all off balance and need to get balanced in God
I want to challenge you - know who you are Know why you do what you do The first step in any process is AWARENESS
WHOSE KINGDOM AM I BUILDING
WHO AM I ACTING LIKE
THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS WILL CREATE A BEHAVIOR
Justification of what you do is not the motive of love - it most of the time is for your own flesh!!!
says to set your mind on things above not earthly things
Passion translation of
Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves but those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities for the mind set of the flesh is death but the mind set controlled b y the Spirit finds life and peace
In fact the mind set focused on the flesh fights gods plan and refuses to submit to his direction because it cannot! no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by flesh, but when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit.
Spirit of full acceptance and being a beloved child mean i Have to understand that God loves me That no matter what happens to me he has me That no matter how I mess up (heart is towards him) that he will help pick me up and comfort or love on me he is my beloved and i am his
intimacy with the Spirit of God brings me into full acceptance mentally i think kingdom instead of worldly or fleshly
II Spirit of Full acceptance, enfolding you into the family of God
II SPIRIT OF FULL ACCEPTANCE
II Spirit of Full acceptance, enfolding you into the family of God
III BELOVED CHILD
Philippians 2:12
This is where condemnation and conviction take place in a person And grace
Philippians 2:1–12 NT:TOG
1 If, therefore, there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort arising from love, if any participation of the Spirit, if any affections and mercies, 2 fulfill my joy, that you be of the same mind, having the same love, of one soul, of one mind; 3 doing nothing in strife and vain glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Consider not each one his own gifts, but each one also the gifts of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not think it an act of robbery to be equal with God; 7 but he divested himself by taking the form of a servant, and being made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient even to death, the death, indeed, of the cross. 9 For which reason God has highly exalted him, and, also, bestowed on him a name that is above every name; 10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those who are in heaven, and those who are on earth, and those who are under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 So, then, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

first lets reread the 5
But you have received the Spirit of full acceptance, enfolding you into the family of God.
an orphan is someone who doesn’t have a place of belonging No family
enfolding you into the family of God
WE ARE A FAMILY WE ARE A FAMILY WE ARE A FAMILY
some of you did not have a good earthly family to know what a Godly family should look like so your wounds and your belief system has to change You are a work in progress But God gave us a spiritual family what is sad is when our spiritual family acts like our earthly family with condemning, hurting, opinions and words that hurt.
Unity is in the Kingdom of God
words can heal or scar
words can tear apart or bring close
remember the thoughts feelings behaviors
where is grace in any of this grace is a kingdom principle and it isn’t just for
me to receive it is also for me to give
A. work out your own salvation
Passion translation philippians 2;1-12
Look at how much encouragement you’ve found in your relationship with the Anointed One. You are filled to overflowing with his comforting love. You have experienced a deepening friendship with the Holy Spirit and have felt his tender affection and mercy. So I’m asking you, my friends that you be joined together in perfect unity-with one heart one passion, and united in one love. walk together with one harmonious purpose and you will fill my heart with unabounded joy.
be free from pride filled opinions, for they will only harm your cherished unity. don’t allow self promotion to hide in your hearts but in authentic humility put others first and view others as more important than yourselves. abandon every display of selfishness. possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests. and consider the example that Jesus, the Anointed One, has set before us. let his mindset become your motivation
motivation - why i do what i do
See, we are on a journey with Holy Spirit It takes time to become kingdom minded when we live in this world that is part of the process to everything kingdom oriented but it doesn’t change 4 things:
1. that i am a son or daughter who has all the benefits of the kingdom
2 that gods word is still truth and the Spirit of God wants to lead me into
Godly truth so i Understand I am a son and daughter
3. that i need to give grace for others as they journey in my family of God
If I am enfolded into this family I have to let others work out their own salvation within my family I cant judge everything they do Unity is the key Unity of the family of God brings everything heavenly to earth UNITY
WHAT WAS THE MINDSET OF JESUS
saved by grace
Garden of Gethsemane - he sacrificed himself for us
he took the shame and humiliation of the cross for us
his minset - not my will but your will Father
Our will is our behaviors thoughts feelings behaviors
Jesus took all of him and laid it down for all of us
Jesus was known for Love and obedience What character traits are you known for?
These scriptures say that I have received the Spirit of Full Acceptance enfolding me into the family of God never am i orphaned
These scriptures say that I have received the Spirit of Full Acceptance enfolding me into the family of God and since I am adopted into this family, I have a responsibility to the family to put on love and walk in it just as jesus did
motive of my heart that is always pure is love
1 Peter 2:7 NT:TOG
7 To you, then, who believe, is this preciousness: but the stone which the builders rejected, has become the head of the corner,
1 Peter 2:7–8 NT:TOG
7 To you, then, who believe, is this preciousness: but the stone which the builders rejected, has become the head of the corner, 8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense to the disobedient, who stumble at the word because they are disobedient, to which stumbling they were also appointed.
Luke 12:52 NT:TOG
52 For from this time forth there shall be five in one house at variance, three with two, and two with three.
unity based on love -
brethren to dwell in unity
John 17:23 NT:TOG
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
I in them and you in me - so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me
John 17:23 NT:TOG
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
why do you think the devil fights so hard for the family of God to have unity and love one another - bc Jesus said it would be a way the world would know that God truly sent Him
John 17:22–23 NT:TOG
22 And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one; 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
We are a different people - We are of a different kingdom
Isis gets recruits by causing hate and getting peoples attention thru what they dont like about our government
The world is fighting and hating each other
this group rises against that group
Where are we as showing the love of god in unity in the church
Pastor said not long ago that we have swung way over to this side with showing love but its love outside the church What about the love inside the church
Christians rising up against christians and all bc of opinions Well I think it should be ............ What did you think about ................
when you start wondering what opinions others have you really want to share your opinion BE CAREFUL WE ARE A FAMILY AND THIS FAMILY IS DIFFERENT
so how do we give grace to one another and how do we love one another
Ephesians 4:3 NT:TOG
3 earnestly endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
d how do we love one another
1. seek first God and do it his way
2. self control
3. boundaries
III. Beloved Child
self control -
where are you in the process of character bc this fruit is the character of people
Luke 6:31 NT:TOG
31 And as you would that men should do to you, do you also in like manner to them.
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called; with all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, bearing with one another in love, earnestly endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been called in one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one immersion; one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in you all.
III. Beloved Child
never am i orphaned
an orphan is someone who doesn’t have a place of belonging No family
India = experience
God is telling us that no matter how alone we feel we have a family No matter if my dad here was good or bad, i belong
I am enfolded in to a family - ( to hold within limits or to embrace)
and its not just Jesus who holds me its Gods family / my community / my church family
IV. Joint Heirs with Christ
Bc I am a joint heir i have privileges on this earth
Ephesians 3:20 NT:TOG
20 Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to his power which works in us,
All that we ask or think- kingdom minded again
if we ask but in our thinking say it wont happen for me its not unity
i am a son or daughter of the king his kingdom is different all he has he has given to me His treasures are my treasures
John 14:12-
John 14:12–15 NT:TOG
12 Verily, verily I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do he also shall do. Even greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father; 13 and whatever you ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 15 If you love me, keep my commandments;
Jesus said the works he did we shall do
signs and wonders are all thru the bible Jesus healed people and people knew he was different
Jesus showed love, mercy, goodness and faith
Jesus prayed
He knew the Word so He could tell others how the old and new testaments came together
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus .
We fight from a place of victory we are seated with Christ in the heavenly realm We are a different kingdom - we reign with him we live in constant expectation of his works, his ways, his coming
We don’t strive to get victory we are victory we fight from a place of victory bc we are his and we have another kingdom here on earth
Jesus never lived in reaction to what the devil was doing he just responded to it
what would it be like to live as thou heaven is on earth
Jesus touched every part of culture, we are not called to imitate the world but to shape it to create the culture that the world lives in
John tyson
