Subject:
- We have grace for when we fall short here on earth.
- If you’re doing things as unto the Lord the Lord gives you instructors.
- Shed yourself of that which is holding you back; then go forward again. If you keep doing that you’re going to start to build a testimony; folks are going to see that there’s something different.
- The church isn’t just a place you show up; get all clappy clappy; think you’ve arrived: it’s the training ground, you find out what the Lord would have you do. Then when you go out into the world you’re leaving a launching pad; you have the tools you need. While you’re out in the world and you share the love of Christ, you then invite them to receive that same training.
- Are you here because you want the inheritance of Christ? If so, then do what He says.
- You need to push yourself to do it as unto the Lord. If you do that, you will stand. You will have that testimony, that experience.
- When you do things heartily as unto the Lord; the Lord will be in everything you do.
- Start doing the things on our plate as unto the Lord, you don’t know what that is going to minister unto other people.
- When you think things are hopeless and there’s no chance, that’s a lie.
- The redemption, forgiveness and grace come right away.
- Operate in what He would have you do; anything outside of that is garbage.
- When our heart is purged we become free from that stuff.
- In that purging process: who are you going to trust? Are you even going to submit yourself to the Lord and go through that process? The process is for your good, so you’ll survive.
- What do we do with the correction? Do we seek to justify ourselves or blame those that brought the correction? Do you submit yourself or do you get angry?
- There is no hope outside of Jesus Christ.
- Recognize Him and who He is and what He’s able to do.
- Are you going to be the branch that doesn’t bear fruit and He takes you away? Or are you going to bear fruit and allow Him to purge you?
- If you’re not operating in Him you’re of no worth, it’s not going to do anyone any good.
- Don’t resist Him anymore; allow Him to do the work in you.
- He can’t accept you if you’re going to reject Him.
- If you have decided to doing things heartily as unto the Lord you’re ready in season and out.
- When you’ve confined your mind to do whatever you’re doing as unto the Lord, you’re life starts to minister to people: Sometimes you get a chance to say something about it.
