1/16/2021 Seventh Day Baptist Edgewater, FL Pastor Keith “Put Off the Old and Put on the New Man” Colossians 3:1-11

 

It is possible to get caught up in the idea of being a Christian and forget to love Jesus. We can get caught up and love the good works, the idea of going to church and leave our first love, Jesus. Don’t get caught up in Christianity, the acts of it and not love Jesus and have a relationship with Him. Christianity without the love of Jesus is like being married and not loving your spouse. You say I can be married without a wife.

We have to be all about Jesus, with Jesus, in Jesus and for Jesus. We are to seek things that are above, look up to Jesus and not be concerned so much about things on the earth. We need to look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our Faith. Look to Jesus who died on the cross, rose again and is now sitting on the right hand of God in Heaven. Keep your eyes and thoughts on Jesus. This whole life down here is like street traffic we go through on our journey to Heaven and Jesus.

We should invest our time and energy in things of God and the home we have with the Lord Jesus. We have a new life in Jesus so take off the old self that died and put on the new self that we got through Jesus. Stop doing the old self things like anger, wrath, malice, bad thoughts and evil words out of our mouth. Put off our old practices and put them in the garbage can. Put them out of our minds. We must put them off. Don’t get caught up in greed and lust because now we love Jesus. We do this not just because it’s in the rule book but because we love Jesus.

The new you is being made new again with the knowledge of Him that has created you. It’s like we are going back to the book of Genesis. We are remade into the image of God. We are to be a picture of God’s nature. It is like when a son looks like his dad and acts like his dad. Jesus is God’s image and He came to renew us into God’s image. We are all in Jesus Christ because He is all in all no matter your race, gender or economic status. There are no dividing lines and in Christ Jesus we are one! When people see us, let them see our Heavenly Father in us.

Amen

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
