Kenzy sent me this sermon after I reached out to him post-Bible study on 5/24/21 ()
Notes on Lesson 13 - God's Will & Guidance | Knowing and Doing God's Will:
- This "will" is all a mindset for us
- Ephesians 6:6
- Doing the will of God through our heart
- You have to want God's will for your life above everything that you would ever want. Your own agenda. Your own hopes. Your own dreams. All of it!
- Romans 1:10, Romans 15
- Colossians 4:12
- By the will of God, in the will of God
- Are you willing to do the Will of God no matter what it means or what it entails?
- Jeremiah 51:29
- Ephesians 1:9
- God's not wanting you to perish, but to repent
- God will fulfill his promise of judgement - saving all sinners still has to be fulfilled. God is patient in doing such a thing. 1 day is 100 years for us. And vice versa. Everything is in God's plan, not ours.
- Ephesians 5
- Do not be foolish but understand the will of the Lord
- Ephesians 5:18 - don't be filled with wine, but with the spirit
- Pagans used to commune with the gods through drunkness. NO! Don't do that!
- Instead, and also, do this to be filled with the Spirit:
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
- 1 Corinthians 12:12-13
- Ephesians 5 <> Colossians 3:16-22
- If effects are the same, causes are the same
