You eat food at nice restaurant you tell your friends, you did not realised you are advertising for the restaurant.
When you tasted Jesus, you are filled with the love of Jesus with so much spiritual food, automatically you will go out and share.
We are 3 parts being. Spirit that contact God. Soul - will, mind and emotion
Will - you choose. Free choice
The spirit part receive the nature of God
The mind is where everyone is familiar with but don’t know how to control this mind.
There is a research that says there are 60,000 thoughts that go through our mind everyday. 80% are negative thoughts.
We can smile today because we have a renewed mind.
Whatever we think of, will bring forth our emotion.
The thoughts is we are renewing our minds through the Word of God.
We are controlled by 5 senses.
Feel is a part of 5 senses.
Peter gave to this spirit man - the hidden man of the heart.
Feed the food for our spirit man.
Getting information about bible does not change anyone.
It is not about learning bible.
Head knowledge puffed up.
Decision affects our lives.
Inherit in the heart of the identity of who we are in Christ.
Each one of us is created in the spirit.
Adam and Eve were created
Body
Able to think
Able to communicate with Him
Our spirit man communicate with God
When you share with someone, is the Holy Spirit talking through you.
This vessel needs to be filled up.
The mind is the obstacle to receive the divine power of God
Have the reality of God’s Word inside us.
The old man has to totally go. The part that cannot see God has to die. When we receive Jesus on the cross, we die with Him.
The things you experience and worry should not be the same as unbelievers.
Jesus said all things become new
We don’t have to have fear and anxiety because we have Jesus. We believe and depend on Jesus.
What are we believing? We are called believers. Jesus has taken our pains, poverty and anxiety.
We can feel the anointing, the presence of God.
When people are seeing the bad in the world, what do we see with our spiritual eyes? We see the Word of God
We are here to develop and grow this hidden man of the heart.
We make decision now through the spirit man.
Destiny is our purpose. Is like the promise of God.
After we receive the Lord there is a life to live here. We live as new creation in Christ. No more the old way.
The new creation is our spirit man.
The old things have passed away. All things have become new.
Jesus came to die for us to live
Jesus’ destiny is the cross.
In the spirit there is a world. If God open our spiritual eyes we will see angels in the spiritual realm.
The devil wants to blind us. A stronghold in our mind.
In the natural you see the person very sick. But renewed mind we see different
Jesus don’t make His decision from 5 senses. He sees from heaven.
God’s perspective is alien to human mind.
Spiritual birth. We are born from above. We have the gene of heavenly God.
We need to renew our mind. Remove all the thinking of the world and put in the word of God
Our destination has changed. We no longer heading towards death.
Everything in this world are under death.
Before the physical death happened, it happen in our mind.
The devil put “death” thoughts into our mind.
When God comes in, everything is life! What is dead can become life!
From young, if just taught bible study, they will see christianity as religion.
Put inside them the truth of loving Father who does not condemn them and died for them. Prayer is just talking.
Paul talked a lot about inner man, inward man.
Live in the spiritual realm of who you are.
You live in the blessing of God.
You will never lack.
Know who your Father is.
When you know your earthly father has millions and millions of dollar, you trust in the provision and don’t worry.
In the spiritual realm, we are never in lack. We work without stress. Sow and reap in the kingdom of God.
There will always be sowing seeds and harvest
When we plant and sow into the right soil we will reap the finances.
Whose son/daughter are you?
We have a supernatural father.
You have identity. You have names
We are joint heir with God. We got inheritance.
Luke 2:42-43 TPT
When Jesus turned twelve, his parents took him to Jerusalem to observe the Passover, as was their custom.
A full day after they began their journey home, Joseph and Mary realized that Jesus was missing.
Luke 2:48 TPT
His parents were shocked to find him there, and Mary scolded him, saying, “Son, your father and I have searched for you everywhere! We have been worried sick over not finding you. Why would you do this to us?”
Luke 2:49 TPT
Jesus said to them, “Why would you need to search for me? Didn’t you know that it was necessary for me to be here in my Father’s house, consumed with him?”
Jesus was talking in another realm.
He was talking in spiritual realm.
The main thing about gathering is we must be in His presence. Consumed with Him.
Jesus knew who He was.
He know whose Child He is
He is God’s Son.
He must be consumed with Him.
Consumed with Him
Luke 2:50-51 TPT
Mary and Joseph didn’t fully understand what Jesus meant.
Jesus went back home with them to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother treasured Jesus’ words deeply in her heart.
The only way to open the spiritual eyes of unbelievers is through the gospel
Jesus went back home and was obedient to His parents.
Blessing of honouring our parents is long life.
We are blessed to have our parents. Orphans cry out and want to hear their mother nag them.
Appreciate your parents and love them.
Luke 2:52 TPT
As Jesus grew, so did his wisdom and maturity. The favor of men increased upon his life, for he was greatly loved by God.
Jesus physically cannot die. Only sin can decay. He chose the will of God.
Judges 4:1-3 MSG
The People of Israel kept right on doing evil in GOD's sight. With Ehud dead, GOD sold them off to Jabin king of Canaan who ruled from Hazor. Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim, was the commander of his army. The People of Israel cried out to GOD because he had cruelly oppressed them with his nine hundred iron chariots for twenty years.
Always cry to God.
He is waiting for you to come back to Him.
Judges 4:4-5 MSG
Deborah was a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth. She was judge over Israel at that time. She held court under Deborah's Palm between Ramah and Bethel in the hills of Ephraim. The People of Israel went to her in matters of justice.
When we represent God we have to be just.
We are not taking sides. We just need to see God’s mind there.
A just God has to punish sins.
Jesus is our Advocate.
Judges 4:6-7 MSG
She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, "It has become clear that GOD, the God of Israel, commands you: Go to Mount Tabor and prepare for battle. Take ten companies of soldiers from Naphtali and Zebulun. I'll take care of getting Sisera, the leader of Jabin's army, to the Kishon River with all his chariots and troops. And I'll make sure you win the battle."
She already heard from God. God will give them the victory.
God’s anointing is upon the person.
Judges 4:8 MSG
Barak said, "If you go with me, I'll go. But if you don't go with me, I won't go."
Judges 5:6-8 MSG
In the time of Shamgar son of Anath,
and in the time of Jael,
Public roads were abandoned,
travelers went by backroads.
Warriors became fat and sloppy,
no fight left in them.
Then you, Deborah, rose up;
you got up, a mother in Israel.
God chose new leaders,
who then fought at the gates.
And not a shield or spear to be seen
among the forty companies of Israel.
How they won the war?
God poured down heavy rain. It was done by God
Judges 5:31 NLT
“Lord, may all your enemies die like Sisera!
But may those who love you rise like the sun in all its power!”
Jesus defeated the devil for us.
David knew whose he is.
Today know who we are in Christ.
If there is something the devil put on you, you just need God to appear.
Today whatever we do, we do as sons and daughters of God
Ms Aung Sung Suu Kyi is the daughter of Myanmar’s independence hero, General Aung San.
He was assassinated when she was only 2 years old, just before Myanmar gained independence from British colonial rule in 1948.
After stints of living and working in Japan and Bhutan, she settled in the UK to raise their 2 children, Alexander and Kim, but Myanmar was never far from her thoughts.
When she arrived back in Yangon in 1988 to look after her critically ill mother.
She was under house arrest for 15 years.
“I could not AS MY FATHER’S DAUGHTER remain indifferent to all that was going on,” she said in a speech in Yangon on 26 Aug 1988.
She went on to lead the revolt against the then-dictator, General Ne Vin.
She was doing it because she knows whose daughter she is.
She gave up everything because of whose she is. She is General’s daughter.
Just like when Jesus said to the natural parents, He must be consumed with Him, in His Father’s house.
Serve because we are our Father’s sons and daughters.
Everything else is for Him to take care of.
He gives us the privilege to be His children. Raise up and take up His calling.
Whichever part, we are His children and we represent Him.
Romans 8:15 TPT
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!”
He gives us the courage to raise up.
Beloved Father.
We are joint with Christ and we inherit all that He has.
Romans 8:16-17 TPT
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.
Romans 8:18-19 TPT
I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us.
The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!
You are all sons and daughters of God. His love, His gentleness and beauty.
Whether we preach or not, it is fulfilling your destiny, touch lives.
Jesus died so that we can raise up to be the sons and daughters!
Romans 8:20-21 TPT
For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin. But now, with eager expectation, all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children.
Romans 8:22-23 TPT
To this day we are aware of the universal agony and groaning of creation, as if it were in the contractions of labor for childbirth.
And it’s not just creation. We who have already experienced the firstfruits of the Spirit also inwardly groan as we passionately long to experience our full status as God’s sons and daughters—including our physical bodies being transformed.
Ultimate destiny of everyone is we know we are sons and daughters of the Mighty God!
We not yet understand our full status.
Romans 8:26-27 TPT
And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.
God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.
Romans 8: 28-29 TPT
So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose.
For he knew all about us before we were born and he destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of his Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like him.
When we do wrong He will correct us in love.
Romans 8:30 TPT
Having determined our destiny ahead of time, he called us to himself and transferred his perfect righteousness to everyone he called. And those who possess his perfect righteousness he co-glorified with his Son
We respond to God’s call and destiny in our lives.
