Seperated By Sin #2

SEPERATED BY SIN

INTRO: WHY DOESN’T EVERY CHRISTIAN GET INVOLVED IN THE WORK OF GOD’S KINGDOM?

1: IS IT LACK OF TALENT?

A) MAYBE THEY AREN’T REALLY GOOD AT ANYTHING

B) MAYBE THEIR TO SHY OR BASHFUL TO DO ANYTHING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE

C) MAYBE THEY JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT THEIR SPIRTUAL GIFTS ARE.

POINT: BIG OR SMALL 1,000 OR 100 EVERY CHURCH IN AMERICA HAS PEOPLE WHO PROFESS JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR BUT HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO GO ABOUT DOING THEIR PART IN THE MINISTRY.

2: POTENTIAL PLUS POSSIBILITY

A) EVERY CHRISTIAN HAS A TALENT A GIFT

B) SOME HAVE NUMEROUS TALENTS AND GIFTS

C) WHEN SOMEONE IS SAVED THEY TAKE THE STEP OF SEPERATING THEMSLEVES FROM THEIR PAST SINS

D) THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR A PERSON TO DO GREAT THINGS

E) THE POSSIBILITY, LET’S EXPLAIN THIS

POINT: GOD MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR US AS SINNERS TO BE SEEN AS RIGHTEOUS PURE CREATURES THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. HE GIVES US THE POSSIBILTY TO DO ANYTHING THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. THE POTENTIAL IS WHERE THE CHRISTIAN HAS TO ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD TO TAKE OVER. SOME THINGS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO MAN BUT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD. THERE IS A POTENTIAL THERE TO ACHIEVE EARTH SHAKING, LIFE CHANGING, BONDAGE BREAKING, SUCCESS AND VICTORY IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

BODY: ISAIAH 59:1-2

1: SEPERATED BY SIN

A) THE SCRIPTURE IS TELLING US GOD CAN SAVE

B) GOD DOES HEAR

C) HE CAN REACH US WHERE EVER WE ARE

POINT: WE HAVE TO ALLOW HIM TO SAVE, TO REACH IN AND CORRECT US. THE SIN IN OUR LIVES HINDERS THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH GOD ALMIGHTY. WHEN WE LEAVE SIN IN OUR LIVES UNADDRESSED AND UNCONFESSED. WHEN WE AS CHRISTIANS NEVER REPENT EVER AGAIN AFTER SALVATION WE PUT A BIG WEDGE BETWEEN US AND GOD. GOD WANTS TO HELP, HE WANTS TO PICK US UP, DUST US OFF AND SET US BACK ON THE ROAD TO GLORY. WE HAVE TO CHOOSE TO LET HIM.

2: SIN IS A DIVIDER

A) THE DEVIL USES OUR OWN NATURE AGAINST US

B) VERSE 2 SAYS YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE SEPRERATED BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD.

C) YOUR SINS HAVE HID HIS FACE

D) HE WILL NOT HEAR

POINT: THE LOST AND THE CHURCH ALIKE NEED TO UNDERSTAND YOU CAN PRAY ALL YOU WANT AND GOD IS LISTENING, BUT UNTIL ONE CAN PRAY REPENTANCE AND ASK GOD TO FORGIVE THE SIN IN THEIR LIFE THE REST OF THEIR PRAYERS WILL SEEM AS THOUGH GOD’S NOT LISTENING. THE PROBLEM REALLY IS WE JUST AREN’T PRAYING THE RIGHT PRAYERS A LOT OF TIMES.

3: FINDING MY TALENT/GIFT

A) YOU WILL LOOK AND WONDER FOREVER UNTIL YOU SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM THE SIN IN YOUR LIFE

B) IN ORDER FOR ONE TO LEARN HIS SPIRITUAL GIFT HE HAS TO SEEK AND LOOK IN THE SPIRIT

C) TO BE IN TUNE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT IT TO BE OPEN AND RECEPTIVE TO THE SPIRIT

D) TO ASK GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST TO HELP YOU REMOVE THOSE SNARES AND PITFALLS IN YOUR LIFE

POINT: THE TALENT IS THERE, WE ALL HAVE IT, THE POTENTIAL IS THERE HE GAVE IT TO US, AND THE POSSIBILTIES ARE ENDLESS BECAUSE GOD IS A GOD OF LIMITLESS LOVE AND POWER. OUR PART IN THIS IS CHOOSING CHRIST, LAYING ASIDE OUR SINFUL LUSTS AND DESIRES AND ALLOWIGN GOD TO TEACH US AND PLACE US WHERE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN HIS BODY OF BELEIVERS.

CONCLUSION: TOO MANY CHRISTIANS ARE SITTING IN THE DARK. THEY HAVE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD AVAILABLE TO THEM YET THEY STILL CAN’T SEEM TO FIND THE SWITCH. BEFORE ONE CAN SHINE THAT LIGHT INTO THE WORLD YOU HAVE TO SHINE IT INTO YOUR OWN HEART, YOUR OWN LIFE AND ALLOW IT TO SHOW YOU WHERE YOU NEED IMPROVEMENT. LET’S TURN THE LIGHTS ON AND LET’S ALLOW GOD HIS SON JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FULL AND FREE REIGN IN OUR LIVES DAILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
