Grace Family Fellowship
During this sermon, Pastor David reminds us through the Word of God the times ahead are promised to become more difficult, but we cannot wimp out! We must grow stronger in Christ and allow God to fight for us! We were sent, as believers, with the same arsenal that Jesus was sent with. ANOINTING!
Philippians 4:19 NASB1995
Romans 13:14 ESV
I. God Has Warned Us in His Word
The coming years are going to become harder to grow in the Lord, not easier! So we must believe and draw closer to God!
A. The Warning:
Matthew 24:12 NIV
Revelation 3:15-17 NLT
2 Thessalonians 2:3 KJV
Luke 18:7-8 NIV
B. We must take our Spirituality Seriously!
The devil knows our weaknesses and he will try and exploit them. This is a very effective tactic of our enemy, so we must constantly rely on God and draw our strength from God, in Christ!
Dial your Weight illustration...
II. Puny when thought Strong
A. Satan IS Puny!
Psalms 89:6-7 NLT
Satan is mighty good at revealing our weaknesses and using them against us... But if we will Pray, Know the Word, Lead in spiritual things, and have Old time Fire with a New time Desire... In Christ, we CAN overcome!
B. You And I Are STRONG in Christ!
1 Samuel 17:32-37 NLT
Notice that David referenced back, for the sake of the king and for his own sake, to times in his past when God came through for him and helped him when he knew he was not strong enough. He makes a public declaration that it was the LORD who was the strength behind these victories!
1 Samuel 17:41-47 NLT
Jesus sent us forth as believers, with the same ammunition that His Father sent Him with !
We have the same Power and Authority "ANOINTING" that Jesus had and has!
John 17:18 NLT
John 20:21 NLT
Often satan can get us to focus on our weaknesses... OKAY, turn that around. Embrace that you are weak, and let GOD Transform your weak, into His unlimited STRENGTH!
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NLT
