your Lord and Savior…Turn from being a sinner, to being with him.

Get Eternal Life • Man in the Garden had security in God, and did what he needed to

do to take care of the earth, under God’s direction. God took care of man.

• But Sin, independence from God, caused Man to lose their security and relationship with God.

• This affected everything about Man, even his relationships. They could not come to God.

• But God sent his son Jesus, so that man doesn’t have to die in his sins, he can be with God for all eternity and God can be with Man forever.

• To believe, Ask, Believe and Confess. When you pray, believe that you receive, and you shall have it. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord.

Discover who you are

• When you arrive in God’s Kingdom, you are a baby. You need to grow in God, the milk.

• As a child, you need to discover who you truly are by faith. • Learn to be secure in God’s Arms. • The more you grow, the more freedom you get. • Grow in the Word of God • Know All about God • Be the Person God has called you to be. • Discover your talents, gifts, etc• Discover the personality God has already given you at birth. • Be Casual and Cool.

Remove Pride

• Your life is not your own anymore • Do not try to do things yourself, it will make

things worse. • Pride will separate you from God inside. God

will still be with you, but you will not feel his security.

• Jesus is Lord.

Be Confident

• Have Faith in God • Believe God will do what he said he will do,

and he is who he is • Confess what you believe• Demonstrate it • Endure • Know God’s got your back. • Show the same love to others

Serve God…Serve Others

• Obey God• Do what God you to do. • Serve Others out of Godly Character and Truth • 1 Corinthians 13

God made others that way too

• God created you and everyone very unique• No one is better or less than anyone • God wants you to use your talents • God doesn’t want you worrying or envying

other people, just worship God, and do what he called you to do.

• God doesn’t want you so focused on other people so much, he wants you focused on him.

Obstacles

• In this world, there is trouble• You will make mistakes, due to your flesh • Need to rely on the spirit, not the flesh • People will come your way to steal your

security. • Things will try to make you feel bad. You have

to overcome them. Here are some examples.

People• People are going to try and control and manipulate you. • People will try to make you feel bad • People will want you to support them • You will want people to make you happy, support you• People are going to have other friends than you. • People will want to determine things in your life. Do not let them have authority. • Satan will make you look at people to make you feel unworthy. • Satan will make you want to be liked by everyone. That isnt true. • People will want to step on your boundaries, you just have to deal with them in a

loving way. For example, if someone harasses you, tell them, hey, I see you are harassing me, I understand you are hurting, but I cannot let people harass me. Can you please stop?

• For example, I see one of my friends talk to her best friends. I realize I am only a baby friend with her.

Once I am Saved, Am I always Saved?

• Yes. But if you do not want to develop your faith, you are going to miss out on all of what God has for you.

• Develop your faith so you can be all that God has called you to be. • Keep walking by faith, since the final destination is home.• Keep Confessing Jesus is Lord and being a witness • Like Baseball, you run around the bases until you get home.• As long as you believe in Jesus and you walk by faith, you have

nothing to worry about. You cannot lose your salvation. • However, if you renounce Jesus, you will forfeit your position in

heaven. You will still go to heaven, but you will not rule and reign.

• So Yes, once saved, you are saved. Just keep walking by faith.

• Have fun with others, and enjoy each other. • RELAX.
