GOD'S BLESSINGS OF BELONGING TO GOD AND GOD
BELONGING TO YOU.
OBEDIENCE IS THE KEY TO
GOD'S BLESSINGSBUT
OBEDIENCE IS A STRUGGLE
• Hebrews 3:15 As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."[2]• Hebrews 3:16 Who were they
who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
• Hebrews 3:17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?• Hebrews 3:18 And to whom did God
swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed[3]?• Hebrews 3:19 So we see that they
were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
OBEDIENCE TO THE 12 BIBLICAL HABITS
IS A STRUGGLE.
•SATAN DOES NOT WANT YOU OBEY THE 12 HABITS.•SATAN PLACED A LOT OF ARGUMENTS IN THE MIND.
• 2Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
• 2Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
• Ephesians 2:2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
FOUR THINGS TO DO TO OBEY GOD
1.) LOVE GOD PASSIONATELY
• 1John 5:3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,• 1John 5:3 (TMSG ) The proof that we
love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome.
2.) DAILY RENOUNCE DISOBEDIENCE TO
GOD IN PRAYER
• Psalms 139:23 (CEV) Look deep into my heart, God, and find out everything I am thinking. • Psalms139:24 Don't let me follow
evil ways, but lead me in the way that time has proven true.
• Matthew 6:9 "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,• Matthew 6:10 your kingdom come
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.• Matthew 6:13 And lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
3.) HANG OUT OFTEN WITH CHRISTIAN FRIENDS WHO ARE
SERIOUSLY OBEYING GOD AND HIS WORDS
• Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.• (CJB) Just as iron sharpens iron, a
person sharpens the character of his friend.
NOTE: ATTENDING CELL MEETING WILL GIVE YOU ENCOURAGEMENTS TO OBEY GOD
• Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
• 1Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character.“
• (AMP) Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations) corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character.
4.) DAILY SEEK THE HELP AND EMPOWERMENT OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT TO OBEY GOD AND HIS WORDS
• Zechariah 4:6 (CEV) So the angel explained that it was the following message of the LORD to Zerubbabel: I am the LORD All-Powerful. So don't depend on your own power or strength, but on my Spirit.
• Ezekiel 36:27
And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees
and be careful to keep my laws.
a.) Be Spirit-filled• Ephesians 5:17 Therefore do
not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.
• Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
b.) Attend the Holy Spirit
meeting for regular
empowerment
CONCLUSION:• Hebrews 10:35 So do not throw
away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.• Hebrews 10:36 You need to
persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
