I Have To Climb Higher...

I HAVE TO CLIMB, ANOINTING CONSUME ME...

GET RID OF IT...

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

Some fodder from this comes from T.D. Jakes...

AS A CANDLE GIVES ITSELF FOR THE LIGHT...

I. WE HAVE A TOKEN OF LOVE...

THERE IS GOOD NEWS MY FRIEND... GOD IS WITH US...

HERE THE BEAUTY: "WITH US"... GOD HAS A PLAN....

WE ARE HIGHLY FAVOURED, GOD LOVES YOU...

A. As we approach a new thing... God has a precious anointing and calling on you...

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall

call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

B. Favor: agree to support, to be in good graces,

friendly regard, to give consideration or attention, gracious kindness,

To have a token of love...

Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured,

the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

C. JESUS LOVES YOU... JESUS IS OUR LIGHT... HE HAS A PLAN...

II. DO WE REALIZE THAT THERE ARE SPIRITUAL WEIGHTS AND PARASITES THAT

EVER SO SLOWLY DRAIN THE POWER AND VICTORY OUT OF FAMILIES AND OUR

DAILY LIVES?

A. Many years ago, some people thought HEADACHES were caused by having TOO MUCH

BLOOD. People would go to the barber shops and they would place a leech on them, or they

would CUT the individual and release blood. This would be found to be a wrong conclusion.

B. DO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT A PARASTE IS?

A person who exploits the hospitality of others and lives off them...

One organism living in, with, or on another...

It is dependent on something for support for existence...

COMMON TERMS: bloodsucker, freeloader, leech, moocher...

C. Many parasites will draw the very life out of the host, and when the host dies, so does

the parasite. CANCER IS A PARASITE...

TEXT:

KJV

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,

let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with

patience the race that is set before us,

NIV

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us

throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with

perseverance the race marked out for us.

NLB

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life

of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders

our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us.

MESSAGE

Hebrews 12:1 Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these

veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it.

Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins.

II. THE BIBLE IS FULL OF PEOPLE THAT ALLOWED SOME KIND OF PARASITE TO

LATCH ON TO THEIR SPIRITUAL BEING AND SUCK THE VERY LIFE OUT OF THE

BLOOD...

A. SOME KIND OF A PARASITE LATCHED ON TO THIS WOMAN...

Luke 17:32 Remember what happened to Lot's wife!

LOT'S WIFE... WAS IT WORTH IT?

Maybe it was not a sin... maybe it was a weight...

B. SAUL RECEIVED A NEW HEART AND A NEW MIND...

WHAT POTENTIAL WAS IN THIS ANOINTED MAN...

What kind of parasite latched on to Saul?

1 Samuel 15:27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his

mantle, and it rent.

C. DEMAS WAS A GOOD HELPER... WHAT HAPPENED?

Demas where did you pick up the parasite?

KJV

2 Tim. 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto

Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

MESSAGE

2 Tim. 4:10 Demas, chasing fads, went off to Thessalonica and left me here. Crescens is in

Galatia province, Titus in Dalmatia.

D. THIS PARASITE DID NOT COME FROM GOD...

Galatians 5:7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

[8] This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

III. WE LIVE IN A DAY OF GREAT DANGER...

A. HAVE WE LEARNED TO IDENTIFY TRAPS?

HOW ABOUT THE SYMPTOMS OF PARASITIC LIFE STYLES?

Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall

hate one another.

B. JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS A GREAT MAN...

John sent his men to JESUS to ask JESUS, ARE YOU THE ONE?

They see the BLIND see...

They see the LAME walk...

They see people with LEPROSY cured...

They see the DEAF hear...

They hear the DEAD are raised...
