It is a great good to be given over to the will of God. Then the Lord alone is in the soul, and no other thought, and she prays to God with a pure mind. When the soul is entirely given over to the will of God, then the Lord Himself begins to guide her, and the soul learns directly from God.

A proud man does not wish to live according to the will of God. He likes to direct himself, and does not understand that man does not have enough understanding to direct himself without God. 

- St. Silouan the Athonite

Eternal life is not just about sins forgiven

It’s about UNION WITH GOD

If you continue to walk in Sin

You cannot be in Union with God

Return to Him!

Walk In JESUS 

Rest in Grace

Go and Sin no More

Enjoy Fellowship with the Father

You’re Soul is thirsty! For Him 

Stop trying to fulfill yourself in the World!

Ephesians 6:23-24

Peace be to the brethren, 

and love with faith, 

from God the Father 

and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Grace be with all them 

that love our Lord Jesus Christ 

in sincerity. 

Amen.

Tell truth and let God do His own work

Do not have a goal to persuade people to be saved

Have a goal to tell the truth 

In hopes that God may grant them repentance 

We do not save….

The Spirit does that

It is Faith not persuasion!

We don’t want a behavioral change

We want a heart change 

Only the Spirit of God saved men. 

2 Timothy 2:24-26

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; 

but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; 

if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Saved?:

Are you born again-

do you want HIS Will-

are you willing to let Him have His way in your life? Repent, Surrender, Abandon, and Obey in His power. 

Check your heart and see if you are in the faith. 

Lessons from The Apostle and Disciple Judas:

Was called by Jesus 

Walked Daily with Jesus 

Got Spirit Power

Did Miracles 

Did what Jesus told him

Still wanted his own way

Stole and betrayed

Did not go to Jesus to repent

Did not have heart change

Beware:

I bet Judas thought he was saved. 

If Judas believed in Jesus….

what does God mean by belief???

Takeaway:

Life is not about being in a “Christian“ club. It’s is about Loving the Creator of ALL things and Giving Him Glory by being all He calls you to be. All for His good pleasure because he created you and made you for himself. 

He wants to recreate your soul for his dwelling. 

Sin is not a popular topic in today’s culture. It is much more chic to speak of psychological complexes, childhood trauma, and social conditioning – anything that remits personal responsibility. Although external influences do affect human actions, habits and personalities, the overwhelmingly clear lesson of this passage is that sin matters. Sin is purposely choosing to do evil, to break the moral law that God built into human nature as a natural guide to happiness and fulfillment. And sin has dire consequences.

Proverbs 8:13

The fear of the LORD 

is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, 

and the evil way,

and the froward mouth, do I hate.
