Welcome to Windber PA's First Assembly of God's The Sermon The Perfect Person by David McGee Page

This is a machine transcript of the sermon. It won't be completely accurate of what's said in the sermon.

The perfect person with a perfect body and I have those a play on what was a pretty woman you now that the from the sixties and modest little, everybody will think of the movie and it was R-rated, I did now. That wasn't what I would say get him out. I was the young Roy or Britain's pretty woman, you know, I'm and you walking down the street at that thing and I'll or we look and artists. Our society arm advertising whatever always time leans toward one who is the most perfect person and what would make a perfect person, so whether it's a model whether it's a man or whether it's a woman, whether it's a teen or whether it's a child. What is what is and who is what makes up the perfect person. The perfect body, while there is the perfect phased, you know that there is the perfect face, and they have a geometrically designed and has the right distance between the eyes and the nose and the mouth in the chin and it just so happens it's me you to believe that went on, but not true. I do not. Just kidding. Okay, so the lead perfect person. The perfect body while we also know that a person who maintains that type of figure or disposition, or whatever, it doesn't just happen. We know that it takes a great deal of love right, eating right, exercise right amount of what you feed your mind, so the perfect person. We can also say the perfect person for what you know from EII, like football. So what is the perfect person for an offense of lineman the wall you will reach of at least thirty three inches is got to be at least six foot six or better is not the province of professional but even some high school players are over three hundred pounds and so you see this type of individual Similac that makes I would have if we had a friend, his son, his arm reach was thirty two inches and he was six foot five and he couldn't be a number one draft for the division one schools because his arm reach wasn't big enough, and if you stood beside the skin. He was huge. Yeah, and I'm thinking you're not big enough and the perfect person solely we look at that as well. What about a quarterback you know what quarterbacks are the only six foot three babies, not six. If the only six-foot. He's too small. We see some of these guys ever cut out and they vow to be fast. They've got to be knowledgeable about basketball. Now there are some big seven footers. There was this guy on the plane we went to the flu, once found was also we're going to also and this guy got on the plane and he literally could not fit in the seat. He couldn't stand up and he couldn't sit in the seat, they had to take him up to the front of the plane and put them in a special seat. He was a basketball player for one universities in Tulsa for all Roberts and he was seven foot you can fit the plane, and so when you look at these individuals, basketball, baseball, football, how about skiing since the Olympics is coming up, what would make the perfect law of slander not made many of you don't know this, but it's a little-known fact that the bobsled was named after one of our members Bob Harris are there is a little-known fact that I just thought I'd bring you up-to-date on that now the bobsled event is named after Bob and I will tell you how it got its name. But anyhow that's a joke. Also, those you documenting things so we all know that it takes a certain mentality and a nod certain physique a certain personality, a sergeant body. So what is the perfect body well, let's read Romans chapter eight versus nine to eleven. But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone of a course who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of God, won't know what were talking about, but for you who welcome him in whom he dwells even though you still experience all the limitations of sin, yet you yourself experience life on God 's terms. It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life the perfect person. The perfect body is the one who has allowed Jesus Christ to move it into their present life, we often are in a concept of looks in any one a look at anyone dress. You now have peace at the one half decent if you want to dress while you want to dressing for success that was one of the other titles I was thinking of for this particular series of messages dressing for success, put on Jesus Christ, but on that means you are allowing Christ to become part of who you are in your and your and I was thinking in the context and perhaps be hello later in the armor of God in all the helmet of salvation, though the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth beneath the shield of faith, the sword of the spirit, the gospel of the feed of peace and all ironed out. We have always put on these things while in this case will looking at how that as a person, we are allowing God to move in and day goes on. He'll do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus bring you all live to himself so as we allow Jesus to move in to our life and as we allow God that this alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves in July, he'll do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus. So when God moves and there's something going on. There's a change going on in our life and we have a whole new perspective about ourselves, about life and about what were going to do what we're going to achieve bringing you alive to himself when God lives in reason you and he dies as surely as he did in Jesus, you are delivered from the dead life with his spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ sold the perfect body is the one that is alive in Christ, where God himself has taken up residence. So God is living in 's and his friends are alive in us out as we experience life on God 's terms. Experiencing life on God 's terms. If the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, there's a big change going on, so an athlete who has a perfect body for their support has often trained daily. No I I think of on skiing in all endure the downhill racers and in all of that and I and and making lots of references to her son, David, but when he was a ski racer and K who will you have no I mean I had no idea how much training goes into racing. I mean, it was a was a constant train and at the time the movement may have changed but that was as many as twenty different moves for one gate yacht your protein. Those gates were there knocking them down. Going back there. There is a there's a whole sequence of events that starts like when the gates in front of you when you're at the previous day. You are not looking at the one you're at, or the one you're going to be you're looking to or three down, you're always planning your most two or three things ahead and Europe for and you are doing this at a rate of anywhere from twenty to forty, forty five miles an hour in the spin, the slalom and you are you are setting that you are leaning back, you are pushing yourself. You're pushing on the details of your skis to propel you forward so that you get it up on the front of your skis to carve your turn to use to get you headed in the next month and propelling yourself around and in exist in your. It is a you be able to see it in slow motion at the Olympics and the margin of difference between winning and losing is fractions of an inch covering the whole hill so an athlete who has perfect body for their sport perfect training. What happens there is. There's a lot of risk involved. They're willing to pay the price. Mentally, emotionally, physically and often they are part of a team working together working in training what you think the body of Christ is the body of Christ is a group of individuals working together entirely different running their own race, but yet part of something that is greater than themselves that we are part of something that is greater than who we are the team that we represent are our body here on price is greater than what the sum total of of the number of people sending them to, and the number of people who are affiliated or associated with the church is greater than all this issue. The body of Christ. Jesus paid the price for us to be redeemed are forgiven of our sins, and we are purchased that he has moved in to our lives. And so we are not perfect and lest we think that we are the perfect body and a perfect ten in oh if you think you're the perfect ten. Wait a couple years and it will come a seven- oh five wait long enough, never mind also. We are not perfect in our spiritual life. We are not perfect in our lives. We are not without flaws, even perfection has its flaws of wanting everything perfect, so we experience all the limitations of my descriptors that we express all the limitations of sin, meaning that we we have our faults. We have our shall I say video secrecy Czar are idiot responses are are things that we do that are just, you know that that's just so you can never say that that's just so you know I will not. They mean that in a good way or a bad way, but the children are perfect. We do not read it. We we have our flaws but was trying to take all of that, which for the crisis, taking hold of us. Our goal is to take hold of what God has taken hold of us. For now, if God 's move into our life, and he has given us abilities and and and touched our lives. He has a purpose for us, so we then are trying to take hold of what God has taken hold of us for the God has moved into our hearts and lives, and in God has a plan and a purpose, and we've got to wrap our minds and our hearts and our our will and our desires around what God has for us. Do when the cheerleading alley as Julia. But whenever Rachel was cheering and competition analysis competitive cheerleading. Remember when she went to Springfield, Missouri to school and graduated started teaching position and she started your training. The kids at this one school to the competitive cheering while maybe Alec and Yamamoto, demonstrate anything sit on it. Be afraid. Okay, but the they the this goal was generally just they stand on the sideline below to buy raw raw chicken in the knee in the Lycos, but that was it. So whenever they wanted a competitive squad OK, so I want to get some range of writing this thing about any some other herself as a mother 's and Rachel had this you know you and maybe not now, but she could do is that she brought in as the this work, but whatever. And there's this guy standing there with one hand and cheese with one foot on his hand has the other foot above her head and doing her chair up in the air, and these kids about fell on the floor. Note that they never seeing anyone in real life. Do such a thing now and so she demonstrated for them. This is what you wanted to, and then I went to camps and they went always other things, and less than a year return the rental of a very competitive squad being the challenge was that individuals had to get their minds around what they were supposed to do, and in our lives. We are trying to get our minds around in our hearts around what God wants us to do so when you see if we are to start with this whole concept. If we are going to be the person that God wants us to be the most important aspect of who we are has to start with our heart. So if we are going to be the ten that God wants us to be. We've got to look at who we are as an individual, and he could not even say what weight women pastor. It's a quarter of twelve and you're just getting started with the heart and then there's the mind and the mouth in the eyes and years and then there's the of the gospel of truth and not the thing the fruits of the spirit and the gifts of the spirit and their unknown entity at all today. That's when I met Rob IVR competitive downhill racer cheerleader football player marketing the best we can be in a few moments. But what were doing is beginning see that God has a platter. No plan why lives in the gut is entered into our lives for a reason piece is status or reason, doesn't it, that if the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life will do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus, God is going to do the same thing in view that he did in Jesus, a coach is going to do the same thing in us the squad that he has done. They have done. She has done in other squads. That's what a good coaches when they hire them to do in the present group what they had done another's, and Jesus is the one who is doing this in order to begin. He begins with a heart so our heart is more than just an organ that pumps blood through the whole system. Anybody here don't have a heart in a hopefully my little joke you have argued that this is one of things. Well guess what, if you don't have a heart that the heart is the seat of the emotions and if your emotions are dead. You're just functioning your heart is functioning, but the emotions that are there are just five debt. So in this case we see the heart is more than an organ. It is the seat of emotions and the heart is where God is at work. Luke six forty five a good man out of the good treasures of his heart brings forth that which is good and evil man out of the evil treasures of his heart brings forth that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks with six forty five so we find then that God is saying it is from the seeds of emotions where everything is what I know what motivates you or your vocabulary want to motivate you for praise complement left unsaid is the way to thought. So we have this seed of our emotion, which is our heart and God wants us to speak from our hearts. Now the idea is gone, has changed the heart. God has changed the heart is the God who raised Jesus on the dad moves into your life. He moves in your life. He starts with heart out of the abundance, so, God changes our hearts middle heart transplants. He changes the heart. The same thing in you than he did in Jesus, he'll do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus, God will do the same thing in us that he didn't Jesus out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Luke chapter six verse forty three and forty four one three forty five and the message Bible. It's in the verse forty five season. If you are not what you say or do that counts your true being brings over into true words and deeds, though you are overflows into words and deeds. So from our heart, our words and our deeds, so we want to have a right heart willing to have the right attitude is of Christ moves into our hearts was into our lives and it overflows and from our hearts. Then we speak. When I can do just the mouth just yet. We want to move to something house next big thing in a strong being the perfect person is that it is our mind. Now if you don't mind, it don't matter you don't have a mind. You don't think we guess what we all have them. We all have our own plots with about all perspectives, and I never brother Mikel used always say don't confuse me with the facts, my mind 's made up, and so a.m. what he was saying is that people would often be that way. They've already made up their mind as to how it should be so don't bother giving me any other facts because I'm not the changed my mind and you he wasn't saying about himself speaking about people in second Timothy one seven for God hath not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. God has given us a spirit. So, when God has moved into our life. He doesn't live in the fear that Ziglar 's fear false evidence appearing real fear is often things that we fear that really are true, so don't think about the fear God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but Boldin, loving and sensible sound mind sensible, sound line is not swayed by lives. James one eight a double mind is unstable in all his ways. God 's ways are past the double minded man is right likened to a ship on the waves shall I do this or should I do that. Should I do this. Should I did than ever have those moments you know, that's why nobody there says not guilty bear the guy the cartoon Yogi bear on the coach get to the fork in the road, take it everything that through begin to the fork in the road taken. So you come to the why goes like this. Which way should I go when you get there, take the road with one while that's where the wisdom and so I can sense up a double minded man is a guy who is constantly not doesn't have a sense doesn't have a sense about what he should do with his life. And when God has moved into our life. God gives us a sense about what we should do and not do. In this sense is based on right and wrong. The sense is based upon that which is true and noble of a good report there be any virtue, being appraised. He gives us a sense about what we should be doing, and some of the markers that throw out options are the markers is a good be good to go to be beneficial if you would be lovely. Is it be pure than the yell one of the address had one of the advantages on it, and we look at it. We make decisions, but even at all of that. The perfect person. The perfect person is not flawless, so we look at some of the roads in sum, the decision was a thousand state will life is in over God as a way of turning things around and whenever we have the perfect person body, you see the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life will do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus bring you a live to himself when it's all said and done, were alive. They were going to live forever. God is more interested in the attitude of the heart than what we do or don't do the soul, the mind of Christ is humbled humble humility is not the format that we everybody wipe their feet on that's not Jesus yell. We often it's important that we get the correct image of Jesus because sometimes we had this guy who can make up his mind that a lot offend anybody could he so humble, while Jesus called people vipers snakes and Whited sepulcher 's, I mean that's about as bad as you can get for some individual whited sepulcher was a really nasty word to use against some individuals because of Whited sepulcher was eight to it was painted white, so you didn't touch it and he told these Pharisees, you are a wide all-white except liquor, full of dead men's bones that was really nasty and anyhow, I just pointed out to them how, how often they were in their concepts and in their life and in Jesus got so upset he upset them the money changers in the Temple and drove around on the web where people will think of you Jesus are doing those things. So there is a time and a season for all things. There's a time of the season to confront evil is the time of the season to confront that which is wrong and is a time and this is a dog off to lead you and guide you, and where Jesus County went into the Pharisees and he said that another verse he went your input into the centers into their homes as the dominate with them in a way of making people feel comfortable in his presence, so he was able to know what he should do the mind of Christ. But this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. This mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus six seventeen take the helmet of salvation, the military helmet helmet in those days was a piece of the metal formed to your head, and I don't know if they had any padding on the inside but it protected their heads from the swords and knives and blows of some sort. Whenever we are protecting how we think protecting there are some thoughts that we don't need to keep them there. Some thoughts that don't originate with God, nor do they originate with us some of your thoughts don't originate when you that originate with the maligned and we've got to be wise enough and are understanding that when Christ is in our heart and our life. Not everything we think is right now. Sometimes we we know we need individuals that the matter what they say they're always right no. If you disagree with them. It's like you know what you doing saying something different than what I'm thinking because you can't be right. As I said no, it's anyhow, that's a whole different ballgame cancel and I think God slots and the answer is yes. How do we think God 's thoughts know the word of God know what the Scriptures say, because in the Scriptures, we have the mind of God revealed to us in the word of God, so that the word of God is revealed to us in the word of God Word of God is read and is and therefore us to think onto New Year's over to meditate on to focus on and allow that word to become part of who we are, so that we come to the fork the road will know which road to take, because there's a direct a directive from God. This is the way walking in that there is an assurance that this is the right path. Well, now the spotlight a few weeks ago with Paul know he knew that he was supposed to go to Rome, but he got on the boat that was going to be wrecked if we would think of that one was a mistake. It wasn't a mistake is exactly what Paul needed to be on the boat sank. You, your point is, while he was assaulted out about Jessie was this mostly on about and about, say, he said to our seventy five people on both any also been witness to violence that they ended up being shipwrecked on policy positively on that book because things go wrong, doesn't mean that that's not the right decision in the right place to go when we have the assumption you know who Jesus was crucified. That was the right decision. He came to be the sacrifice, but this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, but there is a greater plan. The plan I have for myself. There is a greater plan that God has for my life. The one I can think or imagine we can't even imagine the things that God has prepared for us who love him so therefore we don't think big enough because I think God 's thoughts. Yes, the word of God is in our heart and influences our thinking, our actions, our goals we set them, and we gone the direction God has a way of moving, changing the perfect body has good hearing the perfect body has good hearing some people need hearing aids some people didn't have selective hearing. They wanted and then had been an end and having had the addressee to two tell me that my foot. My micron before I came up. It wasn't coming over the PA system, but they could hear me singing in their ear, and I thought I was making them off to something that noticed on a road or hold languages in my head at the past thirty days. I had a singing of God forbade the Romans. Everything but is saying he is here. See here, let him hear what the Spirit says to the church. The Spirit says here in Venice and the revelations to revelation. Now there's no book is not multiple revelations that doesn't call revelations. It's just singular, plural, the revelation of Jesus Christ. Our first chapter two verse seventy F an ear, let them hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches here this to hand it over, I will give to each of the tree of life which is in the midst of paradise here. This is Spirit gave still lost. Chapter two verse eleven here even half an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith of the churches fairness even have to even overcome it shall not be hurt on the second meaning is appointed unto man once the diamond comes the judgment. The judgment is nothing to be feared for the Christian here. This even after the year, letting hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. We listened to what the Spirit is saying and what is the spirit saying its rates in the in the spirit will take his word and make it alive to a heart. But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, was not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won't know what were talking about, but for you who welcome him in whom he dwells even though you still experience limitations by sin. Nobody's perfect. Everybody has flaws. Everybody stumbles and falls, even though you still experience the limitations of sin. You yourself experience life on God 's terms, you experience life on God 's terms. It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life. You'll do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus bringing you alive to himself, God will bring you a live to himself. And when God lives of reason you and he does as surely as he did in Jesus, you are delivered from a dead life. That's the perfect body. You are delivered from a deadline. We are delivered from that which is dead, incorrupt and with this spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ, and it doesn't die, it just keeps on the men. Less than selling the perfect body turn to someone so you know what you're just perfect I have yet just perfect. This is, and those you go yell in your point is that were just perfect in a just perfect and got a few flaws, but no one is perfect. The perfect of the Scripture does not mean without flaws think that's the difference waiting a perfect is without flaws. The perfect of the Scriptures. They were perfectly suited for the task. The goddess given us to do. Father, we thank you for your spirit alive in us for the work of God. We do in our lives. We just turn it all over to you, Lord, knowing that you will accomplish accomplish the work. You will accomplish the task for which we were created, we thank you for the blessings we thank you for how you worked in us and you move through us and Lord you are alive in us. We are grateful. We ask God your blessing now upon our lives upon our work of service, the direction we half our lives have we just ask you to pull all of these things together as we turn our hearts to you, and welcome your presence into our lives. We pray in Jesus name. Everyone said amen, publisherThe perfect person with a perfect body and I have those a play on what was a pretty woman you now that the from the sixties and modest little, everybody will think of the movie and it was R-rated, I did now. That wasn't what I would say get him out. I was the young Roy or Britain's pretty woman, you know, I'm and you walking down the street at that thing and I'll or we look and artists.

So what is the perfect person for an offense of lineman the wall you will reach of at least thirty three inches is got to be at least six foot six or better is not the province of professional but even some high school players are over three hundred pounds and so you see this type of individual Similac that makes I would have if we had a friend, his son, his arm reach was thirty two inches and he was six foot five and he couldn't be a number one draft for the division one schools because his arm reach wasn't big enough, and if you stood beside the skin.

We are not without flaws, even perfection has its flaws of wanting everything perfect, so we experience all the limitations of my descriptors that we express all the limitations of sin, meaning that we we have our faults. We have our shall I say video secrecy Czar are idiot responses are are things that we do that are just, you know that that's just so you can never say that that's just so you know I will not. They mean that in a good way or a bad way, but the children are perfect. We do not read it. We we have our flaws but was trying to take all of that, which for the crisis, taking hold of us. Our goal is to take hold of what God has taken hold of us. For now, if God 's move into our life, and he has given us abilities and and and touched our lives. He has a purpose for us, so we then are trying to take hold of what God has taken hold of us for the God has moved into our hearts and lives, and in God has a plan and a purpose, and we've got to wrap our minds and our hearts and our our will and our desires around what God has for us. Do when the cheerleading alley as Julia. But whenever Rachel was cheering and competition analysis competitive cheerleading. Remember when she went to Springfield, Missouri to school and graduated started teaching position and she started your training. The kids at this one school to the competitive cheering while maybe Alec and Yamamoto, demonstrate anything sit on it. Be afraid. Okay, but the they the this goal was generally just they stand on the sideline below to buy raw raw chicken in the knee in the Lycos, but that was it. So whenever they wanted a competitive squad OK, so I want to get some range of writing this thing about any some other herself as a mother 's and Rachel had this you know you and maybe not now, but she could do is that she brought in as the this work, but whatever. And there's this guy standing there with one hand and cheese with one foot on his hand has the other foot above her head and doing her chair up in the air, and these kids about fell on the floor. Note that they never seeing anyone in real life. Do such a thing now and so she demonstrated for them. This is what you wanted to, and then I went to camps and they went always other things, and less than a year return the rental of a very competitive squad being the challenge was that individuals had to get their minds around what they were supposed to do, and in our lives. We are trying to get our minds around in our hearts around what God wants us to do so when you see if we are to start with this whole concept. If we are going to be the person that God wants us to be the most important aspect of who we are has to start with our heart. So if we are going to be the ten that God wants us to be. We've got to look at who we are as an individual, and he could not even say what weight women pastor. It's a quarter of twelve and you're just getting started with the heart and then there's the mind and the mouth in the eyes and years and then there's the of the gospel of truth and not the thing the fruits of the spirit and the gifts of the spirit and their unknown entity at all today. That's when I met Rob IVR competitive downhill racer cheerleader football player marketing the best we can be in a few moments. But what were doing is beginning see that God has a platter. No plan why lives in the gut is entered into our lives for a reason piece is status or reason, doesn't it, that if the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life will do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus, God is going to do the same thing in view that he did in Jesus, a coach is going to do the same thing in us the squad that he has done. They have done. She has done in other squads. That's what a good coaches when they hire them to do in the present group what they had done another's, and Jesus is the one who is doing this in order to begin. He begins with a heart so our heart is more than just an organ that pumps blood through the whole system. Anybody here don't have a heart in a hopefully my little joke you have argued that this is one of things. Well guess what, if you don't have a heart that the heart is the seat of the emotions and if your emotions are dead. You're just functioning your heart is functioning, but the emotions that are there are just five debt. So in this case we see the heart is more than an organ. It is the seat of emotions and the heart is where God is at work. Luke six forty five a good man out of the good treasures of his heart brings forth that which is good and evil man out of the evil treasures of his heart brings forth that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks with six forty five so we find then that God is saying it is from the seeds of emotions where everything is what I know what motivates you or your vocabulary want to motivate you for praise complement left unsaid is the way to thought. So we have this seed of our emotion, which is our heart and God wants us to speak from our hearts. Now the idea is gone, has changed the heart. God has changed the heart is the God who raised Jesus on the dad moves into your life. He moves in your life. He starts with heart out of the abundance, so, God changes our hearts middle heart transplants. He changes the heart. The same thing in you than he did in Jesus, he'll do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus, God will do the same thing in us that he didn't Jesus out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Luke chapter six verse forty three and forty four one three forty five and the message Bible. It's in the verse forty five season. If you are not what you say or do that counts your true being brings over into true words and deeds, though you are overflows into words and deeds. So from our heart, our words and our deeds, so we want to have a right heart willing to have the right attitude is of Christ moves into our hearts was into our lives and it overflows and from our hearts. Then we speak. When I can do just the mouth just yet. We want to move to something house next big thing in a strong being the perfect person is that it is our mind. Now if you don't mind, it don't matter you don't have a mind. You don't think we guess what we all have them. We all have our own plots with about all perspectives, and I never brother Mikel used always say don't confuse me with the facts, my mind 's made up, and so a.m. what he was saying is that people would often be that way. They've already made up their mind as to how it should be so don't bother giving me any other facts because I'm not the changed my mind and you he wasn't saying about himself speaking about people in second Timothy one seven for God hath not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. God has given us a spirit. So, when God has moved into our life. He doesn't live in the fear that Ziglar 's fear false evidence appearing real fear is often things that we fear that really are true, so don't think about the fear God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but Boldin, loving and sensible sound mind sensible, sound line is not swayed by lives. James one eight a double mind is unstable in all his ways. God 's ways are past the double minded man is right likened to a ship on the waves shall I do this or should I do that. Should I do this. Should I did than ever have those moments you know, that's why nobody there says not guilty bear the guy the cartoon Yogi bear on the coach get to the fork in the road, take it everything that through begin to the fork in the road taken. So you come to the why goes like this. Which way should I go when you get there, take the road with one while that's where the wisdom and so I can sense up a double minded man is a guy who is constantly not doesn't have a sense doesn't have a sense about what he should do with his life. And when God has moved into our life. God gives us a sense about what we should do and not do. In this sense is based on right and wrong. The sense is based upon that which is true and noble of a good report there be any virtue, being appraised. He gives us a sense about what we should be doing, and some of the markers that throw out options are the markers is a good be good to go to be beneficial if you would be lovely. Is it be pure than the yell one of the address had one of the advantages on it, and we look at it. We make decisions, but even at all of that. The perfect person. The perfect person is not flawless, so we look at some of the roads in sum, the decision was a thousand state will life is in over God as a way of turning things around and whenever we have the perfect person body, you see the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life will do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus bring you a live to himself when it's all said and done, were alive. They were going to live forever. God is more interested in the attitude of the heart than what we do or don't do the soul, the mind of Christ is humbled humble humility is not the format that we everybody wipe their feet on that's not Jesus yell. We often it's important that we get the correct image of Jesus because sometimes we had this guy who can make up his mind that a lot offend anybody could he so humble, while Jesus called people vipers snakes and Whited sepulcher 's, I mean that's about as bad as you can get for some individual whited sepulcher was a really nasty word to use against some individuals because of Whited sepulcher was eight to it was painted white, so you didn't touch it and he told these Pharisees, you are a wide all-white except liquor, full of dead men's bones that was really nasty and anyhow, I just pointed out to them how, how often they were in their concepts and in their life and in Jesus got so upset he upset them the money changers in the Temple and drove around on the web where people will think of you Jesus are doing those things. So there is a time and a season for all things. There's a time of the season to confront evil is the time of the season to confront that which is wrong and is a time and this is a dog off to lead you and guide you, and where Jesus County went into the Pharisees and he said that another verse he went your input into the centers into their homes as the dominate with them in a way of making people feel comfortable in his presence, so he was able to know what he should do the mind of Christ. But this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. This mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus six seventeen take the helmet of salvation, the military helmet helmet in those days was a piece of the metal formed to your head, and I don't know if they had any padding on the inside but it protected their heads from the swords and knives and blows of some sort. Whenever we are protecting how we think protecting there are some thoughts that we don't need to keep them there. Some thoughts that don't originate with God, nor do they originate with us some of your thoughts don't originate when you that originate with the maligned and we've got to be wise enough and are understanding that when Christ is in our heart and our life. Not everything we think is right now. Sometimes we we know we need individuals that the matter what they say they're always right no. If you disagree with them. It's like you know what you doing saying something different than what I'm thinking because you can't be right. As I said no, it's anyhow, that's a whole different ballgame cancel and I think God slots and the answer is yes. How do we think God 's thoughts know the word of God know what the Scriptures say, because in the Scriptures, we have the mind of God revealed to us in the word of God, so that the word of God is revealed to us in the word of God Word of God is read and is and therefore us to think onto New Year's over to meditate on to focus on and allow that word to become part of who we are, so that we come to the fork the road will know which road to take, because there's a direct a directive from God. This is the way walking in that there is an assurance that this is the right path. Well, now the spotlight a few weeks ago with Paul know he knew that he was supposed to go to Rome, but he got on the boat that was going to be wrecked if we would think of that one was a mistake. It wasn't a mistake is exactly what Paul needed to be on the boat sank. You, your point is, while he was assaulted out about Jessie was this mostly on about and about, say, he said to our seventy five people on both any also been witness to violence that they ended up being shipwrecked on policy positively on that book because things go wrong, doesn't mean that that's not the right decision in the right place to go when we have the assumption you know who Jesus was crucified. That was the right decision. He came to be the sacrifice, but this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, but there is a greater plan. The plan I have for myself. There is a greater plan that God has for my life. The one I can think or imagine we can't even imagine the things that God has prepared for us who love him so therefore we don't think big enough because I think God 's thoughts. Yes, the word of God is in our heart and influences our thinking, our actions, our goals we set them, and we gone the direction God has a way of moving, changing the perfect body has good hearing the perfect body has good hearing some people need hearing aids some people didn't have selective hearing. They wanted and then had been an end and having had the addressee to two tell me that my foot. My micron before I came up. It wasn't coming over the PA system, but they could hear me singing in their ear, and I thought I was making them off to something that noticed on a road or hold languages in my head at the past thirty days. I had a singing of God forbade the Romans. Everything but is saying he is here. See here, let him hear what the Spirit says to the church. The Spirit says here in Venice and the revelations to revelation. Now there's no book is not multiple revelations that doesn't call revelations. It's just singular, plural, the revelation of Jesus Christ. Our first chapter two verse seventy F an ear, let them hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches here this to hand it over, I will give to each of the tree of life which is in the midst of paradise here. This is Spirit gave still lost. Chapter two verse eleven here even half an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith of the churches fairness even have to even overcome it shall not be hurt on the second meaning is appointed unto man once the diamond comes the judgment. The judgment is nothing to be feared for the Christian here. This even after the year, letting hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. We listened to what the Spirit is saying and what is the spirit saying its rates in the in the spirit will take his word and make it alive to a heart. But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, was not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won't know what were talking about, but for you who welcome him in whom he dwells even though you still experience limitations by sin. Nobody's perfect. Everybody has flaws. Everybody stumbles and falls, even though you still experience the limitations of sin. You yourself experience life on God 's terms, you experience life on God 's terms. It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive and present God, who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life. You'll do the same thing in you than he did in Jesus bringing you alive to himself, God will bring you a live to himself. And when God lives of reason you and he does as surely as he did in Jesus, you are delivered from a dead life. That's the perfect body. You are delivered from a deadline. We are delivered from that which is dead, incorrupt and with this spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ, and it doesn't die, it just keeps on the men. Less than selling the perfect body turn to someone so you know what you're just perfect I have yet just perfect. This is, and those you go yell in your point is that were just perfect in a just perfect and got a few flaws, but no one is perfect. The perfect of the Scripture does not mean without flaws think that's the difference waiting a perfect is without flaws. The perfect of the Scriptures. They were perfectly suited for the task. The goddess given us to do. Father, we thank you for your spirit alive in us for the work of God. We do in our lives. We just turn it all over to you, Lord, knowing that you will accomplish accomplish the work. You will accomplish the task for which we were created, we thank you for the blessings we thank you for how you worked in us and you move through us and Lord you are alive in us. We are grateful. We ask God your blessing now upon our lives upon our work of service, the direction we half our lives have we just ask you to pull all of these things together as we turn our hearts to you, and welcome your presence into our lives. We pray in Jesus name. Everyone said amen, publisher
