Speakers:

• Steven Atherton
• Robin Atherton

Scriptures used:

• Revelation 12:11

Subject:

• We should overcome by the blood of the Lamb.  We apply it and stand up in His sufficiency.
• Be led of the spirit and not of the flesh.
• Have we been bought with a price or are we still on our own?
• We choose to walk by faith and not by sight.  We have to stand up and trust God no matter what it looks like.
• Let God arise?  Who is going to let Him arise?
• We need to die to ourselves and let Him be glorified.  He is longsuffering but don’t take advantage of that.
• Chastening someone and knowing the person can still stand, is the greatest compliment to that person.
• Take God at His word no matter how we feel.
• God’s voice is way different than our voice.
• If you want to hear the voice of the Lord, you have to realize it is not what we want to hear, it will never justify us!
• Nothing justifies us but the blood of the Lamb.
• We have to cast everything down if we are to be a Christian.  Every morning every single task is bigger than us.  Ask the Lord to make us sit in heavenly places.  Ask for mercy, walk in it and it is of Jesus Christ, not you!
• Cast every hindrance aside.   Don’t blame others to justify yourself.
• What makes you believe you are saved?
• We need to ask the Lord to cast off our unbelief and put on the mind of Jesus Christ.  The enemy does not have to win.  We have the tools to work with.
• We have to cast off pride and humble ourselves.  How can you enter in by the blood of the Lamb when you think you’re something.
• They loved not their lives unto the death:  The different experiences we like to have in our lives, life well lived, pride in full fruition, the world exalts them, it is nothing but vanity and death.
• When you die to yourself, there is nothing you have any plans for other than serving your master.  The mind of a servant never thinks of himself.  He is grateful for another opportunity to serve.
• Jesus never shooed away the people asking things of Him.  The heart of a servant.
• Inconvenience is the voice of pride.
• Don’t kid yourself that you are doing this verse (Rev. 12:11) when you’re not.
• In Acts Stephen caused God to arise.  Jesus stood up and the heavens opened and the people saw Him.
