Church Notes from 06/12/24		The Lord Through Pastor Michael

Deut. 8:18
Mal. 3:10
2 Cor. 13:14
Luke 6:38

Bro JK is here visiting from Florida.
Pastor Michael preached with him a lot before.
	He said he was just a saved Gentile dog called to preach the gospel.

Preaching is good but the whole duty of man is to fear God and keep his commandments.
Joshua 10:12 Joshua told the Sun to stand still. JK said to have this kind of Faith.
2 Cor. 3:18
James 1 speaks of the Word of God being a mirror. This is symbolic as being a mirror.
Change means to Trans-form Trans meaning to Cross, Form meaning to Make.
When we repent of sin our spirit is Born again and becomes alive to God.
John 4:24 
John 1:26-28 
1 John 4:17 As Christ is so are we in this world. Present Tense.
2 Cor. 5:17
Romans 12:1
John 53 Now you are clean through the Word I have spoken to you.
Eph 4:23
Saul was changed from a persecutor to a preacher.
How? He encountered the resurected Christ and asked him what to do.
A catalyst: objects at rest tend to stay at rest. Unless an external force will act upon it with a great degree of heat and momentum.
Unless a chemist comes and exerts a greater force upon it. That is what the Lord wants to do in our lives.
Whatever is not of God, (anger, lust, pride, sin) he wants to break it off of us.
There is power in the name of Jesus. 
Enoch in Gen. 5:22-24 Heb. 11:5 
Enoch experienced a change to not walking with God to walking with God. The catalyst was responsibility.
Ecc. 9:10
Gen. 6:5-9
What seems popular does not mean it is Right. 
	Van Halen had a song called "Runnin with the devil" that is walking with the devil not walking with God and he ended up in Hell if he didn't repent.
	
Jeremiah How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

2 Cor. 5:21
Gen. 7
Heb. 11:7

4th Example of we can and will change is Noah.

Matthew 10:28
2 tim. 1:7
prov. 29:25? The fear of man is a snare.
Do not fear man because man can only affect the Body that we take off at the end of life like clothes anyway.

Ecc. 12:13 THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN IS TO FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.

Fear hi Hebrew means to be circumspect.
Circum means round, spect means to see. Meaning we look all around, or be vigilant and be aware.
To be apprehensive. 

Jesus escaped evil because his time was not yet.
We are to fear the Lord and DEPART from EVIL.
If you see some muslims with scimitars coming toward you, don't just stand there. The Bible says to "Depart from Evil". 
Don't just stand there like a deer in headlights. 

When the LORD told Noah I will destroy the world. Noah started to watch all around him and take extra notice around him at the world he said he would destroy.
Luke 8:18 As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the days of the son of man.

Dont be a castaway. preach and keep moving.

Eph. 5 says we need to be circumspect.

Prov. 8:15

Noah loved righteousness and hated evil.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil.
We need to hate evil personally. Dont hate the people but hate the evil.
Warn the wicked. Tell them to repent and beleive in Christ so they wont go to Hell.
The fear of the LORD moved Noah to depart from evil.
	All the devils in the world in the people were comming against Noah. And he didn't yield. 

If it doesn't glorify Christ it's evil.

1 John 2:15 Command: Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. 
	You cant be in the world and in the Word. 
	It is talking about the world's system. The orderly arangement or decoration of things. Paneros means to lie outstreached in the arms of satan. 
	To go into sin is to do that.
	
	The pleasure the devil promises you will fade away.
	1 John 2:6 
	Fear moved Noah to obey the LORD. John 8:29 
	Promotion on job, making 1st million these things mean nothing. Just serve Jesus.
	Christ will keep you free and out of sin if you'll keep your mind on him.
