God Never Forces Us
we must choose
not in bondage
total liberty - all things are lawful
answers and guidance in KJB rightly divided
yet He still has guidelines for expediency
must edify
not cause someone to stumble
not be under the power of
not an occasion for the flesh

Our Own Flesh
'their' flesh
health - personal & others
music
debt
spending for 'new'
styles of fashion
attract others / glory of flesh
love of money

Our Love for Positive
Enjoyable / Comfortable
signs of 'God'
healing always good news - no matter what
miracles prove 'God's' existence
wonders are 'wonders'
ALL LIES

Satan Hinders
he works on our flesh with sin
god of this world
daily interference
|
Time and Leaven
little by little
we eventually give in to battles over time
we get worn out
we can't handle the small battles now
we finally faint
depart from the faith
turn aside after Satan
err concerning the faith
forsake Paul - be a Demasite
troubled AND finally distressed
perplexed AND finally in despair
persecuted AND feeling forsaken
cast down AND allowed to be destroyed
|
Pride
must admit past folly
must admit doing right wrong
called to change lives
must crucify flesh again, & again
must despise & destroy magnificence of religion, idols, etc.
you will have tears with what you come to know

Curbs of Crooked and Perverse Nation
back to uncivilized culture & worthless society
rolls of family changed
family virtually destroyed
all a preparation for anti-Christ coming which means Tribulation doctrine,
not Paul's!
created need & love of money
greed
religion - supported by anti-Christ's soon arrival

Avoid / Withdraw / Have No Company
Be not Partaker / Reject
Neither Give Heed / Cast Off
Rebuke / Reprove / Mark
Have No fellowship

makes you take a public stand
denies flesh
the hardest challenge for all of us
but also has the potential of destroying the work of God just because you
can handle the 'meat'

But We Are Delivered!
But now we are delivered from
the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve
in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Romans
7:6
Who delivered us from so great
a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will
yet deliver us; II Corinthians 1:10
For we which live are alway delivered
unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made
manifest in our mortal flesh. II Corinthians
4:11
Who hath delivered us from the power
of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians 1:13
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom
he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath
to come.
I Thessalonians 1:10
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto
me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but
out of them all the Lord delivered me. II
Timothy 3:11
Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me,
and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and
that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth
of the lion. II Timothy 4:17 |
