Conflict : Man vs Self 2
like conflict and your hands up like I do man sign me up. Put me in coach. I'm ready to play right now. Conflict is rough and it's sometimes hard to navigate because we have these things called emotions that get involved and intention arises and we've been talking a lot about internal conflict. Last week I shared with you. The only reason why there's internal conflict within ourselves is because of one reason it is because we're double-minded in area.
The Bible says a double-minded man or woman. is unstable in all their way and I believe we gave you three types of instability where it can be measured at it was where Mentally, unstable emotionally unstable and physically unstable. And when any of these areas in our lives out of whack we lash out. You guys know what I mean? Think about this for a moment. You have been sick or you had a headache and then someone came and bothered you. What did you do? How do you respond? How did you react?
You got a little bit of a growl to yourself. What about when you're feeling emotionally unstable? And that person just comes along and pushes the button one more time.
And then finally we talked about. mentally unstable
This is the place where we use a break downs at.
We're going to talk about the remedy for those things and how we can overcome internal conflict before we go on. I want to share this video with you.
I grow my hair out. Not sure if I like it.
I'm Your Shoulder Angel Stacy here allow me to do.
No complications today.
Stacy I sense that you have been telling you.
It's so bad. It's almost beautiful. But ultimately still just very bad in the back. Okay, so do I tell the truth no, I mean
Maybe you could just buy her.
I'm Your Shoulder Angel.
brace yourself Stacey
madam
There aren't any more of you are there. I don't want to Russian nesting doll thing going on.
There it is.
Watch the Halo.
So this is what it's like.
What exactly is that woman has a veritable Abomination on her head?
Genesis AC it's almost always the correct response to these kind of things.
You're good.
Yeah, I mean but sometimes in our lives we feel just like that we have this internal battle go on that we don't know which or what to say or how to respond to it. I'm hoping by today. You have a little bit more tools to become a quick. In this area. I need two volunteers.
I hope I made enough this time.
Usually with internal conflict it comes from two places and two places only you either are moving in. A spirit or state of Love or you're moving in a spirit of state of fear? How many you help my slice today?
When you are in a state of fear. You can no longer think rationally. You think he'll rationally and it's all based on a drenalin and self-preservation. You're looking to just Preserve yourself whether it's in a conversation or any physical battle. It's all about defending yourself. And then that place there's no more rationality. You're just thinking I need to survive for the next moment and you will lash out if that's what you need to do to survive. You will walk out if that's what you need to do to survive and you'll either do this other one, which is very common. I found out you'll Stonewall. Do you guys know what that means? It's where you completely just shut down everything. You don't say nothing and your skin people say are you okay? And you just look at them and say I am fine.
And it sounds like a good answer but at the root of it, there's this thing called in different that your living from and it's all in fear to preserve yourself.
The way that you speak to yourself. either build the prison walls or pave the road to your freedom. Your internal talk to yourself. It is highly important. to know What God Says and what God is going to say to you and wants to do. Did I run out again gym? Oh my goodness. Okay for you three, I'm sorry. If you want. If you want these notes, I will give them to you come see me afterwards.
I'll look at the scripture found in Timothy. It is said that 2nd Timothy 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity of coward.
lalalalala, lalalalala
Or craving and cringing and fawning fear, but he has given us a spirit of power and a love her.
In a well-balanced mind in discipline and self-control. There are only two major spirits and everything else operates out of those two.
Let me see it like this. There are only two major states that you can be in. Ohio
yes, you can either live in fear or live in laws. And what happens is when you live in fear your functioning doubt and when you live in love your function in face.
And God saying I gave you a thing called the spirit of God and he's a person who lives in you and he wants to give you a sound mind. He wants to give you power any self-control. You don't know how to activate in him. Chances. Are you're going to live outside of that?
Most of the way that we function is because of how we grew up.
Most of the way that we think is the mindsets we learned from our parents.
You're my favorite thing to do is. chew gum flavor it is. I just really like chewing gum. No, my dad was here and he's not. He would tell you he was a human have in his truck a pack of gum. And you know, I was a young child so you know what I did, right? I went in this truck and I chewed his whole back of gum at one time.
And the Lord said it was good.
And he always with you Doublemint gum. Ann and I will chew it up to when I got older guess what I have in my car.
I just took my son to do.
They going my car my truck and they chew the whole pack off.
Melissa my check what I did to my dad my sons weren't around.
something's our integrated in us at Avaya logical level.
In some ways that we function because of our parents our forefathers function that you might say tap. Is this biblical? Yes. Let me tell you it was his Man by the name of Abraham. He goes to a place called Egypt his wife whose name was staring at the time was beautiful. And he's a neat job. So we tell Sarah I listen. How did your my sister because if they find out you're my wife they made to me to have you.
Fast forward Abraham has a son. His name is Isaac Isaac grows up. He marries this girl named Rebecca. They go to Egypt.
What do you think they did?
Tell them you're my sister because if they find out you're my wife, they may want to kill me for you. They do the exact same thing that their parents did.
Now, I don't know if Abraham told Isaac got someplace to them and stuff and made them sick and man.
Some of the things in ways that we function is because this is how our parents function whether we were around or not.
Come on, how many you guys sit out never be like my parents and how many of you act just like your parents? What happened?
do when you Receive God you get a brand new heart.
You have a brand new heart God's like dude. I want you guys a function on a spiritual level like I function. But the only way you can possibly do that. Is by receiving me? And having me inside.
How many people know the scripture that the heart is deceitful among? Who knows that? A quote that for me to put it out loud.
little bit louder
How many people believe that?
The scripture how many you believe it? I need the heart is deceitful among all things. So God came up with a plan because your heart is deceitful. You know what he says. Going to the scripture. and a new heart will I give you a new spirit what I put within you and I will take away the Stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of
Some of the problems that we have with our thinking being Believers is that we are quoting a scripture here that says the heart is deceitful among all else, but we never make it to the next phase where God says I'm giving you a new heart. and so we function in a place of an old belief system and not stepping into a new belief system is separated by testament old testament law and Prophets the New Testament Grace forgiveness truth Jesus Christ. old creation, New Creation
Make slime.
And just a verify this a little bit more sent it multiple times in Scripture. It says this therefore if any person is engrafted in Christ, the Messiah he is a new creature a new creature altogether.
That your new is step one. Break this down the steps.
Isn't it says the old previous moral and spiritual say that moral and spiritual? How are you going to be a spiritual being with some nasty morals? Uno tops talking about holiness
How are you going to do that? How are you going to function and live like that. Said? I need you to switch your moral compass over to the state of your spiritual being.
Spiritual condition has passed away behold the fresh and new has come next.
Most of the issues in our lives is because we're Believers how many people know they're going to heaven. How many people really don't know? Are you in for that? Cuz there's going to be salvation. Yay.
But what happens if we receive a new heart, but we have this thing called Old mindset and it produces toxic habits. Show the world and the way the world thinks wants to get you to change your Habit to change your mindset put in the Kingdom. That does not work.
It doesn't work at all.
God wants to give you a new heart and then through his word give you a new mind.
Looks like we scripture it back this. It's amazing found in Philippians 2:1 straight. Look at how much encouragement you found in your relationship with the anointed one. You are filled to the overflowing with this company. 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 friend that you join together in perfect Unity with one heart one passion and United in one love walk together with one harmonious purpose and you will feel my heart with unbounded joy. Be free from pricefield opinions for they will only harm your cherished Unity self-promotion to hide in your heart. But in humility put others first and view others as more important than yourselves. next one abandon every display of selfishness Possessing a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interest? I consider the example that Jesus the anointed one has set before us let his mindset become your motivation pause. If you have the King James, it says let this mind that is in Christ Jesus and you also I like that word let What does that mean?
please.
Someone knocks at your door. You can either open it. Or close it or keep it close actually. Are you saying in her face she can open it then slam, and you can do that, too.
Plumbing, you know, that's your choice.
That is your choice to do that.
He's saying to us that your mind letting Christ mind become your mind is a choice. Some of the reasons they're so much dysfunction in the body of Christ is because we're not allowing Christ's mind to be an us.
Just because you're going to heaven doesn't mean you're living like it.
And that was a tough thing. Wasn't it need to I need some water for that one.
is coffee actually
Just because you had your ticket to the train doesn't mean you're riding it.
Some of the issues is that we we know we're going to heaven but we have get there without having to come into us. Like John lives in her heart, but we haven't let him fill their minds yet. next life
and it says let his mindset become your motivation next slide know. What was his mindset existed in the form of God that He gave no thought to season equality with God as his Supreme price.
Instead he emptied himself of his outward Glory stop.
You want to take on the mind of Christ you have to do something. Empty yourself of your outward. Come on Glory.
I was at the gym the other day with Justin you're here, but your head up buddy. Justin has finally out Lifted Me. My Eagles hurt. Tremendously I cried when I drove home.
He said he did a really good job proud of you.
No, we missed the whole lot didn't we Justin? Do you know how many people I told what I've been what we've been steel today.
You know will knows in my wife knows that's it.
What is the point of bragging to everyone but how much I lifted? Do you know why? to boost my ego, dude
someone tell the whole church hoorah What Christ is saying? He said what it's saying is I want you to empty yourself. All these things that can bring you glory.
That will boost your ego. Chrysler actually said I need that ego of yours to die.
Who doesn't like getting there you go massage? Come on, does it make you feel good that it? We should feel like someone said that a boy to you. Or that a girl will be will be politically, correct.
Jesus reduced himself to a form of a lowly servant. He became human didn't go around bragging. Hey, you guys know I'm God by the way, I'm God. like yeah because he knew all things you probably would have said it like that man.
my God
X life He humbled himself became vulnerable choosing to be revealed as a man and was obedient to a perfect example even in his death a criminal's death by crucifixion. He became so humble. He didn't clean. Right. I had to learn everything.
He said I want this mine said to be and you have your Christ mindset is a conscious choice.
For the Bible's full of them shoes this day who you will. Because God saying you have the power of choice. When you no longer have your options in choice you no longer have free will. Oh snaps.
When you no longer have options in toys you no longer have free will.
That's why the Bible says who the son sets free is. And he freely gave you free will even as a Christian. Even as those who are believers in Christ. Jesus gives you the free will to choose him and not use him and if you don't choose him, he says there's also an option work my grace covers with Mercy that you can choose me again because he's the god of second and third and fourth chances. I know that. My Bible tells me that if a righteous man fall seven times and gets back up. He still righteous. He's only a righteous when he chooses not to get.
the Bible says that if my brother sins against me 70 times.
77 * 7 * and one day someone pushes that but
I know you hit the drums hard.
two-fisted art
imagine that happening to you and one day and Jesus is saying you need to forgive them. scripture No, Jesus is commanding man to do it. It's evident that Christ himself is willing to do it also. because she became a man sex life
You have your feelings I want to say this sea change the way you believe you will change the way you will think different. A lot of us try to think different to be different but God says I want you to be different that way you can think different.
Have I don't know about this. Let me share this with you. That's why I said you became a new creature. You became new and you need to reason with hang yourself that you are new. You need a reason within yourself that you have a new heart.
Be in the new heart you give me like I have a new heart to what does that even mean? Reporter world, is that even mean dude? I have a new heart gone. The what do I feel this way?
Never felt that before.
How about being a Christian and still want to cut someone out? Oh, no, no, no. No, we can't do the same with me there.
It's called the ministry of slapping people over boy Hallelujah. Call Barry. Got to guard your heart. Not your face.
It requires. durability Let me see a change requires vulnerability. God himself said I need to change things on earth so he became vulnerable.
But look at. Almighty became so vulnerable. People said mean things to him. They hit him. He was in Arms Reach and he got mactan last he was a vulnerable and the only way that we have an honest assessment of ourselves.
We don't like being vulnerable. Come on.
cuz judgement
Christ became so vulnerable that he he gave himself over to the Judgment of those who were on righteous. Did he not? Bible tells me that he suffered a criminal's death as crucifixion on the cross. I guess he spoke. No Angry self exalting word against them. It requires an honest assessment of how am I really doing?
How is my heart?
You got to ask yourself. Why am I feeling this way?
But I'm going to say the last part change requires work.
It is easier to stay the same.
been to dead lifts 400 lb
Niall has been stressing the other day.
It is easier. Think about this.
It is so much easier to beat the Twinkie. Then the walk on a treadmill.
Would you say?
Yeah, I was like counterproductive.
Spray some Twinkies spray so you can you know. What is so much harder to change change requires work? See when the Bible says let this mind be in you that is in Christ Jesus how many people know God says this is some work for you guys. I took care of the hard part. I gave you a new heart my son hung up there so you can have his spirit inside you turn the mind of Christ to be in you. a black requires change another word for changes repentance repentance simply needs to change the way you think.
big slide
When you get born again, you start on this journey of a new way and you're like I know if something is new inside and maybe the first years like Newlyweds.
How did you guys but you guys are both sitting in the same section? like wow You want to get married sitting in this section? It seems to be working over here.
Forget throwing bouquets come to church.
There's this honeymoon phase worth. You still don't see the dysfunctions in him and she doesn't see the dysfunctions in you and you're always in her out huizar nothing because it's glossed over and this thing called. Chile
And what happens if you're married, you're going to know how do you move the first year is amazing. put all of a sudden the emotions kind of Rebel Wild
I think you're looking at this person like you when you do that really annoys me.
And they're looking at you. Will you kind of annoy? Me too?
And your Christian Life it's like that. You can save your life as a rider. Yay. Holy Spirit lives in you. I know that I know that I know I'm going with God cuz he's in me the next minute, you know posters like I don't like that.
I don't like when you do that. You might say it just like that.
Google where is Lee's like I don't like that. I don't like that and I don't like that that has to go now.
In the name of Jesus, come on.
Until we get into this place over. We know we have a new heart cuz we're believe in the right way, but then we have this thing called new and old mine sets health and toxic habits in our own life. These are areas of conflict within ourselves.
You know that your new but when that person does that you still want to cuss them out.
If you come at you and say this is brother or sister Bible says let no corrupt word. Come out of your mind. You rated Let It Go a lot of that scripture at you. We're just like its Minister has to be in there somewhere Ministry or what happened.
Could you learn to turn this chica lot?
I miss forms in you talk to Cabot's. How do you break out of that? How do you break out of these old mine sets that conflict with the spirit of God lives in your new heart.
pick slide
What am I say slide? I just want to say it's electric. I really do can't help. List of fine with an old mine sets are there are Lies We believe about God ourselves and others. That produce a toxic attitude and action within ourselves in a toxic belief and action in the whys of others. Let me explain a little bit more you have an old mine said it's from a false belief system and some of these false belief systems within yourself to experience emotions that have traumatized you in life and they end up blocking you from functioning as a child of God.
No, I wasn't up front. We got these papers out there, you know. I got no gymnos on time, but we got out in the front at this Creek beavers do a special thing. Is the only time you say this word in church? What do they build?
Tell me you guys are guys waiting for that. shame
That's what they build. I want to dance do. big block the water from flowing some of these emotional experiences of our past have blocked the life Wells water within us from flowing outward and affecting the world around us including ourselves because we have too many fevers that built dams in US.
Oh, yeah. Yes, I would say. 65 and 70% are from your past. time you were a child and then the other percentage the 25 or maybe the 40% or 35% is from your adult life when people push that button and then you were responding out of a place of fighting with Their past and not with them in front of you. No, that was out of work, but just internal. When you find yourself in an emotional tizzy internally, you must ask yourself. Why am I feeling and why am I function this way, or why do I want to
and I promise you it's linked to a false belief system that's producing at false mines that are old mines at the Yacht next line. The only way to get free from this is by supposing the lies that will bring healing to the soul aligning heart and mind together.
Is there scripture for that won't give you scriptures. You ready for this? that word the Bible says Be You perfect as your father in Heaven is when we hear that worked perfectly freaked out right to be perfect. I can't do anything for the best that you could as hard as you could and it still came out like And there goes your self-worth. Down the toilet called life. Come on. That Word Perfect is not your doing everything perfect the Bible when you translate it back to the original contest it mean
whole As your father in Heaven is called he's hold. What do God. He's wholly.
I think you think is in Chinese. Do you know holy?
He said I want you to be so aligned and holding me that that in you you function from a place of wholeness where your heart in mine are aligned and it creates a new habit. in your life
That's no longer toxic.
in Proverbs
Solomon's riding and he's talking and he says my son attend to my words consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from you your site keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all Village and above all that you guard. for out of it flow the Springs of What do beavers try to Dam up?
Where do water slow from?
the hearts the heart and your stomach
for out of it flow the Springs of Life next line.
in your heart
That's weird life flows from it starts flow from that's where you function from. Like when Holy Spirit lives your heart.
theme song with the Bible Romans 5:5
Thank you. Hope makes is not a shame because what the love of God is spread. We're in the love of God is spread in our by who? So where does Holy Spirit reside? And what's his job?
the spread love man and you
because you know is if you can get that functioning there then you believe different if you believe different you'll think different and in order to think different. God gave us a guidance book.
Can I see change was hard work how many people struggle memorizing scriptures?
For that reason how many people remember I scriptures?
Don't look in this room. This is no condemnation Zone, but I only see one hand off.
Follow Me Jesus. We want to be more like you. Did you read memorize what I said? Please make me more like you have you memorized it because let me tell you my words are life because my words because the lamp to your feet and a light to your path know if you want to know something here that when you begin to think anyway, you create new Pathways in your mind. So you have a new way of traveling in the mental in your mind. And therefore there goes A, New Path.
When did God fought that deep when they wrote that? I bet it did.
But if we're not willing to memorize what he says so that we can begin to meditate by word have I hid in my heart that I may not sin against you can we're going to cost you lie saying God. I want more and God's going to say you're not using what I gave you. ouch
Are you be real serious about it? And you don't snot Bubbles and everything? What are you going to say? Are you using what I gave you? It always love one person put their hand up for memorizing scriptures. So that way you were meditating on it.
The pastor you don't understand something. I got the Bible app and in my Bible app, there's a first of the day. And I read it.
That's fine and dandy, but do you remember what your reading? Nobody makes me feel good that I read it. Come on, man. I told you change is hard. If you want to get over your internal conflict, then you have to begin to say God. I'm willing to do whatever it takes you have for me.
Because if you can get his word here you begin to take on the mindset of Christ. So the biggest thing Satan doesn't want you to do is remember what God has said instead. He wants you to remember the lyrics of Lady Gaga.
Every time I'm in the gym like what is this?
because if you can remember lyrics about nothing and then you say it's hard to remember God's word.
Can we just say this and be okay with it God I'm lazy.
ouch
cut that's not nice. It wasn't a fuel good sermon, son.
This should we produce a harvest of a hundredfold.
We have to begin to set our minds on what Christ has and believe it so that we can live this thing out.
And that there's less dysfunctions in our lives. Let me give you my next life.
the next one
Psalms 119 9 through 10 if you can have time break that down.
How are you going to hide something in your heart that you're not even putting in your mind?
Sundays are wonderful. But this should only be your encouragement and your equipping Center. This should not be the place where you're getting all your breath from.
a lot of the struggles in our own personal lives or some because we're not putting God in there and our mind.
I'm guilty of you guys. I'm not hard it is for me to tell you this. I'm like kicking myself in the rear.
Why? Cuz it's very interesting for me to watch Superman beat up someone.
God wants to unlock your potential.
And the only way that you unlock your potential. Is through him?
You can try on your own. I'm not going to go too. Well, Missy look what I built and succeeded at another happened with this one guy. They never can answer.
anyway crazy Are you made it to this kind of a rough message here, but I want to let you guys know something don't you guys are put this in your heart and hide it in there deeply why you are not a work in progress.
You are a masterpiece coming to life.
It's not a condemnation thing. You're not a work-in-progress. It was I just a work-in-progress. I got everything all messed up now. God's masterpiece, like God's thought about me so much. He numbered my hair. Show me the planet Earth to say.
So that threw me in my personality within me that lives around me would be affected in touch in a way that I can only do in Christ. The same is true for you.
You are a masterpiece coming to life. And if you think about yourself that way you'll drop all the dead weight.
That holds you back from being that masterpiece. Is the scripture that follows that I wrote on the back of some of your notes does that we are God's workmanship or another work. We are God's Masterpiece. And he's the one in us that Will's into do.
That way there's no boasting in my own self, but it's all the glory to God Alone.
so in a nutshell
