Scriptures used:

• Romans 4:1-8
• Mark 9:35
• Matthew 19:16-28

Subject:

• The struggle within the flesh, that there is nothing to justify myself before God.  The faith that I place upon Him is my hope.
• There is liberty in that hope.  It is there for us.
• Trying to justify yourself is misery.  It is wonderful to be free from that.
• Let’s go forth and get people free from that bondage.  They need hope, life, freedom and joy through the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
• Dying to yourself is dying to the flesh.
• How often do we take the word of God and struggle to believe Him again?  That is bondage, not walking in the Power.
• The walls of Jericho looked as though nobody could get through them.  But with the Lord, Israel got through them.  Those who chose to believe were saved.
• We covet people to tell us we did something good.  Our security should be in Jesus alone, and not ourselves.
•  We don’t often realize that the things we want we covet over the things of the Lord that we should desire.   A man does what a man wants to do.  That is listening to our carnal mind.
• When we realize the problem is with us, now we can get free and fight the enemy correctly.
• In the world we feel like we’re missing something.  We know the truth and have to desire the Kingdom of God.  That doesn’t come naturally at all but we have to work against that natural feeling.
• It’s better to find that out today rather than in the future.
• He loves me enough to open my eyes so that I can go to that truth.  Am I going to go that direction, or toward the world’s direction?
• An entire army can come against me and they can’t touch me if I walk in the Lord and believe Him.
• There is no place for fear in the Lord.
• When you serve, you are not going to get showered with things of the world.  It will not happen.  It didn’t happen with any of Jesus’s disciples.
