Where Do We Draw The Line
Contributed by Pastor Butch Woolsey on Sep 8, 2022 (message contributor)
Summary: STANDING UP OR WHAT WE BELIEVE
Evil spirits have a plan for you
Eph 6 Take notes on your life—outline your week. Find out your weakness—find out what your weakness is—what you’re prone to do. satan knows your weaknesses, so he knows where to take advantage of your life• You have the principalities and Powers of the underworld who knows who you are.What I want to try to get you to understand is,
Empowering you to say NO
No to devil—no to world
I am trying to get across to you is do you recognize that the world, flesh or devil has been making war against your life?
Can Anyone see the attack coming against your life that is taking place,I believe the cultural of America is shifting. You can see it in our
politics ,we can see moral shifts in the America and the world.
Our economy/philosophy our changing.Invasion of wrong thinking/ teachings,
As a church—we need to come together—we need stand together.Together we need to say—no way.This is not going to happen to my family ,My life
My morals , Right now—I’m going to be strong in what we are trying to do.To stand firm on the word of God.
If the enemy is trying to have his way with me. It’s time for me to take a stand ,Time to wake up—smell the roses, We need to Wake up—and stand against the evils of this world.
Eph 4:27 give no opportunity to the devil ,Don’t give the devil a way to defeat you, You have responsibility ,whether You like it or not you are a PART of this war , If the devil has taken opportunity ,You are giving him some room ,Don’t give the devil any MORE chance, I Want you to do something so that you can make sure you are not opening the door over your life
The word “NO”
Means an emphatic CHOICE
You Can be negative—but we need to be positive We need to Say NO—we got something Better—we have the sacrifice, Jesus made for us by dying for us on the cross.
We can be passive—develop
OR you can say, I believe there is MORE to what is going on around me ,I’m under attack
You know what, the enemy has been planning this for a long time, There is something behind this more than life and self, we need Conviction—Truth/Value that you COMPLETELY sell OUT to Christ
Declaration of INDEPENDENCE born out of CONVICTION
We need to pray for Strength.We need to pray each day that the God will increase our faith,
Things CHANGE when conviction happens
When the LINE is drawn—the MOMENTUM shifts
Declaration of INDEPENDENCE—how it changed EVERYTHING
History changed at that moment,There was a NO MORE, declaration within that!!
That’s why STRENGTH happens!!
CONVICTION vs ‘free floating belief’, When we get CONVICTION—get a NO position.
It is Easy to say NO when you have a bigger YES on the inside of you!! Emphatic Drawing a line. even IN sports—when changed—momentum changes.
Morals—when we draw the line—everything changes
Coming out of Addiction, Relationships, parenting, finances,What I’m asking you to do, is Draw a line.
Take a no position against evil– Give no place to the devil
The enemy is trying to destroy your life and everything around you.
So I am asking you to draw the line.Today—Is a day when it’s all stops.I will no longer let my mouth run off with the negative ,I will not do this anymore .no more gossip—no more doing what people say is ok. but in Gods eyes it is wrong.
