DWELLING IN GOD or GOD DWELLING IN US
DWELLING IN GOD or GOD DWELLING IN US
INTRO:
We have established that our biggest problem is not our inability to be strong enough or wise enough, skilled enough to navigate the shaking and trouble that we face on a day-to day basis. We now see that what we are standing or sitting on is what’s shaking. This is takes us to something far more basic than getting the right “thing” for the job.
Our minds are often shaken because we don’t have good anchor points that keep us steady when things don’t make sense or simply overwhelm what is NORMAL. Dont push the button.
The breakers and dunes on a shore are built to withstand a hurricane.
The breakers and dunes on a shore are built to withstand a hurricane.
Do we see the need for strong foundations. YES
getting it done though feels like wiley cayote trying to catch roadrunner. We accept that we need to trust God more etc… but we ignore the fact that we trust ourselves more.
At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
for our God is a consuming fire.
These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.
These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,
but I actually think my ways are better at achieving whats needed
“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.
Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.
“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
is 55:
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
how many join the army expecting to stay polishing guns.
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
its a bit like a chicken and egg thing.
Before we crack this series open, we have to settle a few things so we define things clearly and don’t just muddle them all up.
Dwelling in the bible is most often based on the concept of being seated in firmly or residence. It also has the idea of the weight of God’s glory.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
The PASSOVER.
The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
