Tremble at His Word - Part 6
Hebrews 12:1-3
Isaiah 66:2 , tremble at His Word
Do all things without complaining and disputing
Please the Father not the flesh
Obey God immediately, when it's doesn't make sense, when it doesn't benefit you ... even when it is painful
Self denial
We all have tasks, things we start , that are left undone
Is it possible to reach the full potential without completing it ?
Jobs left undone, we all have things,
Life comes and our attention takes it away
If you start something, you need to complete it
We are a part of an incredible large project that God started and we are a part of that
He gave the responsibility to humanity to build it
There is a building of the kingdom of God, a huge responsibility
We have been adopted into
#5 Obey God to Completion
1Samuel 9:21
The story of King Saul
Before he was King, before he had the responsibility of King
Samuel speaks to bring out insight , Saul shows humility , Saul was hiding from the anointing. Yet Saul lost the Holy fear that he once had
1Samuel 15:4
Saul did 99% of the job, and Gods response was he was sorry he made him King , he didn't finish the job
For rebellion is like the sin of witch craft and stubbornness as bad as worshipping idols
Obedience is important to God
What is sin? Instructions negated
1John 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Sin can also have inaction when it is an affront to God
Saul did not place holy fear at the top of his completion list
Why do you focus on the little and not the complete task
Obedience is from beginning middle to the end
God uses such strong language
Proverbs 4:23
Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.
God knows the heart
The heart governs all aspects of man, all issues flow out of the heart, the seat of the will
From the fountain of your heart flow all
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
God knows the heart and man doesn't
1Samuel 15:15 Saul is confronted by Samuel
Saul lacked Godly fear, in fact he feared man
Doing what seemed right in his eyes
A process that turns a heart away from God is slow, a slow process.
Obedience in completion, finish what God has in-trusted in us
What in meekness and humility
Hebrews points us in a direction , author and finisher of our faith
Jesus said it is finished
If we can run the race in patience
Luke 17:10
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
Obedience to completion, when done all it is finished
