#285, On the Battlefield, 08-26-2007, Pastor Mark Boucher

Text: Galatians 6:1-5
Theme: If you’re going to help you must be healthy.

INTRODUCTION:

1. My Father in law in the battle. (1950)
   1. God used fellow soldiers to bring him to safety. They were healthy, caring and courageous.
2. The world of Bible day was full of soldiers, war.
   1. Roman soldiers were scattered across the empire.
3. The Apostle Paul often used military imagery.
   1. He challenged Timothy to “be a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”
   2. At the end he said, “I have fought a good fight …”
4. Paul recognized he needed the help of fellow soldiers.
   1. He wrote a letter to the Galatians.
   2. He spoke about helping one another in the battle.

Let’s look at some battlefields

1. People are going to get hurt, wounded.
   1. Life is not an amusement park.
   2. There is good, evil … light, darkness.
   3. The sin nature and Holy Spirit are opposed.
   4. “For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other …” Galatians 5:17
   5. Sometimes a soldier goes down.
   6. “if someone is caught in a sin” (v 1)
   7. This should not shock us beyond belief.
   8. Abraham and Sarah – used deception
   9. Moses – struck the rock
   10. David – committed adultery and murder
   11. Samson – visited prostitutes
   12. We are all capable of falling.
   13. “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8
   14. “We all stumble in many ways.” James 3:2
   15. We don’t have to fall, even though we stumble.
2. We have a responsibility to help each other.
   1. “The local church is an army base for saved sinners, not a moldy museum for perfect saints.” (When someone falls, we don’t leave them behind.)
   2. The challenge goes out to “you who are spiritual.”
   3. This doesn’t just mean pastors.
   4. Every believer can help restore others.
   5. Your part must just be to pray and stay strong.
   6. What does the Bible mean by restore?
   7. This comes from a word meaning to set a broken bone in place.
   8. This is to be done gently.
   9. Restoration can only occur after repentance.
   10. We must be willing to allow the broken to be set right.
   11. As we restore we are “carrying each others burden” (v 2)
3. We have to first be willing to get help ourselves.
   1. How can we help ourselves so we can bless others?
   2. Watch yourself in the area of temptation.
   3. We are tempted to feel superior.
   4. “If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing he deceives himself.” Galatians 6:3
   5. We are tempted to fall into the same sin.
   6. Test yourself, specifically your actions. (v 4)
   7. Examine, scrutinize, to see whether it is genuine.
   8. Are there compromise activities in my life?
   9. “Compromise won’t kill me” … but it makes you sick, weak.
   10. Am I allowing the fear of God to clean me?
   11. “The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.” Psalm 19:9
   12. Is there anything in my house, room that would bring shame to Christ?
   13. Do I have the boldness to change?
   14. “Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds.” Acts 19:18

CONCLUSION:

I’m so grateful some fellow soldiers saved my father-in-law.

In light of the recent events, I have experienced times of sorrow and heaviness in my heart. This sorrow, however, is not a “depression” kind of sorrow but a sorrow that is driving me closer to God. It is amazing how God uses even the difficult places to comfort us and teach us more about himself! Jesus also experienced grief and sorrow (Isaiah 53), and He knows how to help us. Godly sorrow and mourning have caused me to grasp even tighter to the “things which are above.” If we allow our hearts to draw near to God in these days, we will know that all things are working for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28). God is still sovereign!

The Anointing, Sunday 08-19-2007, Pastor Harv Meppelink

Text: 1 John 2:20-27

The Apostle John wrote what he saw and knew. In Revelation 19:11 we read his words, “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and makes war.” In the last book of the Bible we read alot about war and judgment. At the end of the ages God’s wars will target sin and all who choose to embrace ungodliness. God’s war is declared to be one of justice. He has no other motive or desire than to see the world purified of evil. Today, we see a world of confusion and chaos, but let us always remember, in the end God wins!

Living in Harmony with the Holy Spirit, Sunday 08-12-2007, Pastor Dave McIntosh

Title: Living in Harmony with the Holy Spirit
Text: Zechariah 4:6, John 14:15-17

INTRODUCTION:

• Read the words of Jesus from John 14: 15-17
• Jesus will ask the Father and the Father will give us another Counselor
• “Counselor” = Parakletos = encourager, helper, legal advisor, advocate, one who comes forward on behalf of another, by the side of, comforter.
• He lives with you and will be in you!!!!! (dwell or abide) forever!

TRANSITION:

Listen to what God spoke in Zechariah 4:6 – “This is the word of the Lord…Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.” Might = military strength, power = abilities; but by my Spirit.

• Inside of me & you lives God’s Spirit, how do I live in harmony with Holy Spirit?
• How do I live in relationship with Holy Spirit so that my daily life is changed forever!

Three-Phases of Life with the Holy Spirit

THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ME

1. We are all made up of three parts (Spirit, Soul, and body)
2. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 – “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
3. The Holy Spirit has a special relationship with each part of our being.
   1. Our spirit is first and foremost where we personally meet the Holy Spirit.
   2. The Holy Spirit INDWELLS our spirit when we repent of our sins and ask Jesus Christ to forgive us and be the Lord and Savior of our lives!
   3. Romans 8:15, 16- “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.”
   4. Without the Holy Spirit dwelling in your spirit, any personal relationship with God or Jesus Christ is impossible.
   5. 2 Corinthians 2:14 – “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
   6. Our soul then becomes the next part of my being to begin relationship with the Holy Spirit.
   7. The Holy Spirit desires to FILL my soul. (My mind, will & emotions)
   8. Luke 11:13 – “How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!’
   9. Acts 1:5 – “For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
   10. The Holy Spirit (that dwells in your spirit) wants to fill your thinking with Gods thoughts, your feelings with God’s emotions and your will with God’s will; in every situation of daily life.
   11. Acts 2:4 – “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”
   12. The tongue is the outside evidence in this verse, but what is happening to the soul is what is most important here; filled with God’s Spirit.
   13. The third part of my being; my body, also has a relationship with the Spirit.
   14. The Holy Spirit desires to CONTROL my body.
   15. Romans 6:19 – “Just as you use to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.”
   16. Romans 12:1 – “Therefore I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.
   17. The Holy Spirit in me means all of me (spirit, soul and body) if we resist in any area we are not living in harmony with the Holy Spirit, His power of love is not fully experienced in our lives. (this is what “Mighty in Spirit” means)
   18. Our lives become caught in the cycle of battling God’s Spirit instead of overcoming life’s challenges. HERE IS WHAT I MEAN:

THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADING ME

(The second phase of living with Holy Spirit)

1. Luke 4:1 – “Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil.”
2. IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT LET JESUS INTO THE WILDERNESS FOR TESTING, HE WILL LEAD US INTO TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS.
3. Most people make no connection between the trials, irritations, and distresses of daily life and the fact that they are the tests of the Holy Spirit!
4. 1 Peter 4:12 – “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.”
5. James 1:2, 3 – “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds.”
6. Example: Acts 16: The Scripture says that Paul was kept by the Holy Spirit from going into Asia to preach the gospel. Instead Paul receives a vision of a man from Macedonia telling him to come and minister there. So Paul and his team go there and preach and not soon after they were arrested, stripped, beaten, severely flogged and thrown into prison. (Acts 16)
7. Example: Rev. 2:1011: what you are about to suffer, devil is coming, the Spirit says!
8. If I do not allow the Holy Spirit to penetrate all of me (body, soul, & spirit) I am going to have great difficulty being “Spirit Led” in my daily life, because the Spirit has a very different leadership style than I am use to.
9. Now I understand these are extreme examples, you and I probably won’t be led out into a desert or be severely flogged or thrown into prison.
10. But are you Spirit led today? How do you know? How do you handle “wilderness” times?
11. It is hard to lead others when I’m not letting Holy Spirit truly lead me!

THE HOLY SPIRIT CHANGING ME

(The third phase of living with Holy Spirit)

1. The result of the Holy Spirit in me and leading me is that the Holy Spirit changes me.
2. To be full of the Holy Spirit, led by the Holy Spirit and changed by the Holy Spirit is a life of great power.
3. Ephesians 3:16- “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being.” and V.19 goes on to say; “and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
4. Romans 5:5 – “God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.”
5. Galatians 5:22, 23 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.”
6. The changing of Me by the Holy Spirit is the greatest testimony I have that the power of God is real, alive and available for people today to experience!

SUMMING IT UP

1. This is a life lived in harmony with the Holy Spirit.
2. The Holy Spirit indwelling my spirit, my soul being daily filled with the Spirit, my body under the control of the Spirit.
3. My daily life then being Spirit led (even through the wilderness) and my life being Spirit-changed for the glory of God!
4. Spirit in Me, Spirit leading Me, Spirit changing Me! If you choose this path then I can tell you four ways in which life gets really exciting: For the life lived in Harmony :
   1. All things come from the hand of God (even the bad)
   2. All things are designed for our good (even the bad things)
   3. All things produce Christ like character (especially the bad things)
   4. All things reveal to us the ways of God
5. Nothing in a life lived in harmony with the Holy Spirit is a waste!

CLOSING

1. Re read John 14:15-17
2. James 4:7 – “Submit yourselves then, to God.” (Surrender)
3. The response from us really is to come out of our “fox holes” and personally surrender ourselves to the headship of Holy Spirit.
4. Some of you need to surrender you minds, emotional life or your will; others need to wave the white flag and dedicate your body to the Holy Spirit.
5. I wonder… if there is even one here today that needs to take the most important step and will surrender their life to God, admitting they are a sinner, asking Jesus to give them of their sins, and ask His Holy Spirit to come dwell in their spirit.
6. Wave the white flag (surrender to the Holy Spirit)

PRAY

WE INVITE YOU TO THE 6:30 PRAYER MEETING FOCUSING ON HARMONY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

When Jesus was teaching his followers about their relationship with the Holy Spirit, He told them, “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:25-26). May we open our hearts this morning and allow the Holy Spirit to do His work, teaching us all things that Jesus wants us to know! Oh, Holy Spirit, come and minister today!
