Slide 1
The starting point, the ending point and the most important
POINT in between, is for you and me together to LIVE with and in a
REVELATION of the love of God.
Slide 2
When the love of God is working in us then FAITH can work -
because FAITH only works by love! Galatians 5:6 For when we place
our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised
or being uncircumcised. What is important is only faith that works
by love.
Slide 3
Faith, that is, receiving faith, growing in faith, and walking
in faith doesnt just happen. It is a battle! And the bulls eye that
Satan is always targeting is our faith. Not our saving faith in
that speaking of our salvation. Rather, believing faith our ability
to believe in the goodness and love of God.
Slide 4
1 John 5:4 and this is the victory that has overcome the
world-- our faith. 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith;
take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you
made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Slide 5
QUESTION: What was the Holy Spirit trying to communicate to the
young pastor Timothy? What fight? ANSWER: The fight of faith. The
next phrase seems to indicate what the fight is all about: take
hold of eternal life.
Slide 6
z John 1:4(NLT) The Word gave LIFE to everything that was
created, and his LIFE brought light to everyone. John 1:4 (ESV) In
Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Slide 7
The call of the Spirit was to lay hold of JESUS! John 10:10 The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they
may have life, and have it abundantly. Zoe - Life The God-kind of
life.
Slide 8
This is what this FIGHT is all about. We are fighting to lay
hold of the God-kind of life in our bodies, our finances and in our
relationships. This is where the battle is. John 6:63 It is the
Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I
have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
Slide 9
It is the Spirit that makes alive. It is the Spirit who gives
Zoe. The FIGHT is engaged WHEN you begin to lay hold of LIFE. When
the enemy senses you are going after LIFE he goes all out.
Slide 10
Jesus said, The thief comes to steal LIFE (John 10:10) This is
where the FIGHT is happening. It is a FIGHT against darkness. And,
you have to LAY HOLD of it.
Slide 11
From the root: : To lay hold of, take possession of, overtake,
attain, to lay hold of or to seize upon anything with the
hands
Slide 12
Luke 8:40 And as Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him, for
they had all been waiting for Him. 41 And there came a man named
Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at
Jesus feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house;
Slide 13
Mark 5:22-23 One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came
up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet and implored Him earnestly,
saying, My little daughter is at the point of death; please come
and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live.
Slide 14
Luke 8:43 And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years,
and could not be healed by anyone, QUESTION: WHAT ARE THEY AFTER?
What is this father after? What is this woman after? ANSWER: LIFE!
In Him was LIFE!
Slide 15
If you are a son or daughter of God - JESUS is INSIDE of You!
Just as North and South are in the same line - just at opposites
ends - so are faith and fear. The enemy of faith is fear. Fear and
faith are both spiritual forces. They are both faith. One is faith
in God and the other is faith in death. Because all fear is
ultimately fear of death. For example: You're not afraid of flying
your afraid of dying.
Slide 16
Where fear is tolerated our faith will be contaminated. The
enemy of faith is fear. Fear is a spiritual force.
Slide 17
2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of
fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (YOU) have
not been given a spirit of fear
Slide 18
The spirit of fear is the spirit of the devil, which is also
the spirit of death. Fear connects to the spirit of fear, which is
also the spirit of the devil which is the spirit of death. Job
said, "What I have fear came upon me..." (Job 3:25)
Slide 19
SO WHAT? How Do I fight the battle for (eternal) life? 1. We
FIGHT the fight and lay hold of eternal life by what we say and by
what we don't say. It has everything to do with the power of our
words.
Slide 20
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit. Genesis 1:1 In the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth...
Slide 21
God's spirit was moving - but nothing happened until God spoke!
Jesus was given the Spirit without measure (John 3:34,35) because
He spoke only the Word. And when the Word gets down in our spirit
and we speak the Word HE WILL GIVE US THE SPIRIT WITHOUT MEASURE
TOO!
Slide 22
Only when the word it is spoken, does it come to past. WORDS
ARE FIRST. We live in a word created, word-dominated world. You can
choose the words you use.
Slide 23
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to witness against
you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing
and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and
your descendants, Words are not primary for communication. Words
are primarily the way we execute authority.
Slide 24
2. We FIGHT the fight and lay hold of eternal life by living in
the awareness of who we are and who we are not. We are exactly like
Jesus (1 John 4:17)! We are sons of God (John 1:12; 1 John 3:2;
Galatians 3:26). We are joint heirs (Romans 8:17)! We are the
righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). We are loved by Father
God as much as He loves Jesus (John 17:23).
Slide 25
Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who
are in Christ Jesus. NOW! Now means now!
Slide 26
3. We FIGHT the fight and lay hold of eternal life by fighting
and winning the battle in our mind. In other words, how we think,
will determine our victory or loss of victory.
Slide 27
Colossians 3:1-4 If then you have been raised with Christ [to a
new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and
seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is,
seated at the right hand of God.
Slide 28
2 AND SET YOUR MINDS and keep them set on what is above (the
higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. 3 For [as
far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real]
life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, Who is our life,
appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of
His] glory.
Slide 29
We are no longer servants and we are sons! We re joint heirs!
We must THINK like WHO we REALLY are! 4. We FIGHT the fight and lay
hold of eternal life by taking the time to trace back where FEAR
GAINED (GAINS) ACCESS to our lives and surrendering that ground to
the Lordship of Jesus.
Slide 30
Mark 4:13-20 And He said to them, Do you not understand this
parable? How will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower
sows the word. 15 These are the ones who are beside the road where
the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and
takes away the word, which has been sown in them.
Slide 31
16 In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on
the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive
it with joy; 17 and they have no firm root in themselves, but are
only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because
of the word, immediately they fall away.
Slide 32
18 And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the
thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, 19 but the
worries of the world [FEAR], and the deceitfulness of riches, and
the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it
becomes unfruitful.
Slide 33
20 And those are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good
soil; and they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty,
sixty, and a hundredfold.
Slide 34
All doubt, all depression is fear- based. And, the revelation
(not information) rather, revelation of the love of God will cast
it out. When you trace it to its lowest common denominator fear
results from man trying to meet his own needs without God. It is
the absence of faith.
Slide 35
Faith in God is faith in His life. Whereas, fear connects with
the spirit of fear which is the spirit off death which is the
spirit of the devil. Just as FAITH comes by hearing, and hearing by
the Word of God, so FEAR comes from hearing, and hearing from the
lies of the devil (that is, whatever violates what the Word says.
(Healing, provision, etc.)
Slide 36
Perfect love (that is the knowledge of, the revelation of) cast
out fear. 1 John 4:18 (NIV) There is no fear in love. But perfect
love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The
one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Slide 37
The starting point, the ending point and the most important
POINT in between, is for you and me together to LIVE with and in a
REVELATION of the love of God. WHY?
Slide 38
When the love of God is working in us then FAITH can work -
because FAITH only works by love! Galatians 5:6 For when we place
our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised
or being uncircumcised. What is important is only faith that works
by love.
Slide 39
Romans 8:2 - I am FREE from the law of the spirit of death
Satan gets footholds of fear in our lives when we give into sin.
This is one of the reasons not to give into sin.
