Cleanse Your Cup

JESUS LOOKS UPON THE THOUGHTS AND INTENT OF OUR HEARTS

Matthew 15:8: This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Jesus doesn’t care about the traditions of men
He is looking at our hearts
We can say one thing with our mouths
But the Lord looks at our hearts

WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS WILL COME OUT OF OUR MOUTHS AND IN OUR ACTIONS

Repentance and Change is important
WE CAN’T FOOL GOD
Not only repenting but allowing the Lord to change us
Allow the Holy Spirit

Are we prepared to allow the Holy Spirit to strip away the grunge and coated on the mess in our hearts?

Are you tired of comparing yourself with others of the faith because they seem to have it all together, and you’re just pretending?

Jesus still looking at the same heart we gave HIM
Give Him our full affections

PREPARE TO MEET THE LORD

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:58

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Hebrews 12:14

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2

WE ARE CLAY IN THE POTTER’S HAND: JESUS IS THE POTTER WE ARE THE CLAY

2 Corinthians 4: 7-12 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

The Bible shows God took the dust of the earth and breath life
He breathes His life in when we became born again
Its Jesus in us. He shines through us (AS WE ALLOW HIM)
His Light should shine through us

OUR TREASURES SHOULD BE STORED IN HEAVEN SCRIPTURES

Treasures are not necessarily evil in themselves.
What Jesus was warning against is the improper value that we place on the treasures.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF SOMETHING HAS BECOME A TREASURE?

If you don’t think you can live without it, it might be a treasure!
If it brings you great pleasure and satisfaction, above everything else, it might be a treasure!
You might give up other things, but not on that thing that you treasure

IF IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE, IT IS A TREASURE!

Matthew 6:19 – Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

1 Timothy 6:17-19 – Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

Psalms 119:11 – Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Now, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.

Our Earthly House

By Pastor Dennis Williams

Our Earthly House

Read Mark 5:1-6 The Gadarene Demonic shows the power of the Human Will

The Will that was given to him by God
Nothing could keep Him from coming to Jesus Christ
“He ran and worshiped Jesus”
Possessed with a Legion of Demons

But Bible says we can be taken captive at HIS Will

2 Timothy 2:25-26 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

WE HAVE THE INWARD STRUGGLE OF THE SINFUL DESIRES OF THE FLESH (THAT OLD PERSON IN SIDE: BIBLE CALLS IT THE OLD MAN IN ROMANS 6)

THE FLESH WANTS TO DO WHAT IT WANTS TO DO

Paul said in Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

Vs 18 He says : For I know that in me (that is in my flesh, ) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me: But how to perform that which is good I find not.

Vs 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

Vs 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me

He further describes in VS 23: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members

That Fleshy or Bible sometime called “Carnal Nature” must be brought under the subjection to that NEW CREATURE.

Paul is in a miserable state:

Vs 24 : He says O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the Body of this Death:

WHEN WE ALLOW THE FLESH TO RULE, WE GIVE PLACE TO THE DEVIL TO WORK IN OUR LIVES

Eph 4:27: Neither give place to the Devil

James 2:19: Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS (plural) also believe, and tremble.

THE CHRISTIAN HAS TO CRUCIFY THAT FLESH

Galatians 5:16-18 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Galatians 5:24: “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”

Some listening to this may know what deliverance is some may not
STOP depending of people to keep you free in the SPIRIT
We must submit ourselves to the Lord in order to Crucify the Flesh
Flesh cannot be cast out.

Our Bodies are a house or tabernacle for Jesus or for Satan

Matthew 12: 43-45: When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

2 Corinthians 5:1-2 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

Vs 4 of 2 Corinthians 5:4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.”

2 Peter 1:14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

1 Corinthians 6:19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Peril Of The Flesh

By Pastor Dennis Williams

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand, let us therefore put off the works of darkness,” Rom. 13:12.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ.”2 Cor 10:4-5.

The Old Nature

By Pastor Dennis Williams

THE BIBLE SHOWS THE OLD MAN (PERSON) AND NEW MAN
Verses that will give you a better understanding of:
The Flesh or Old Nature and New Creature or New Nature
Ephesians
The Flesh or Old Nature
In Ephesians chapter 4: 22: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
New Creature of New Nature
Ephesians 4:23-24: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Romans
The Flesh or Old Nature
Romans 7:23-24: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
New Creature of New Nature
Romans 7: 22, 25 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: vs 25 is an answer to Paul’s question in vs 24: 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans
The Flesh or Old Nature
Romans 8:7-8 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
New Creature of New Nature
2 Peter 1:4: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
THE BIBLE SHOWS WE CAN WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD
Romans 6:1-4 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
• We should not sin so that grace may be abundant or abound
• Says God forbid
• We should seek to walk in newness of life.

Also Read Romans Chapter 6

When we are born into this world, we receive the old nature or old man which is also called the flesh.
• We receive the new nature when we believe in Christ and are born again.
• Our “Spirit Man” comes alive to Jesus Christ and the things of God
• Our Quest is have the spirit man take dominion over the flesh.
• This was made possible and can be done according to the Word of God
1 John 2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
• So we don’t have to live in the bondage of sin
• We have the flesh to contend with but we shouldn’t make it bigger than it is
THE BIBLE CALLS US NEW CREATURES (CONCENTRATE OF THIS PART) MAKE THIS PRIORITY IN YOUR LIFE.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
• You have a part in the Body of Christ
• God has given you talents and gifts
John 3:6 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
• We were born with a body of flesh and bones
• But flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven
1 Corinthians 15:50 :50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
• This flesh we live in cannot go into heaven
• We have a part of us that is Supernatural
• A part of us that will never die
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY THE FLESH IS REFERRED TO IN THE BIBLE:
• Our old self or sinful nature that all human beings have as descendants of Adam
1 Corinthians 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven
• By accepting Jesus Christ, we are born of the Spirit
• Jesus Christ came to redeem us from that sinful nature
• Jesus has won the war that is between the flesh and the spirit
• Our bodies won’t be redeemed until the Rapture
