CHRIST IN YOU-THE HOPE OF GLORY
Part Eight

 9 June 2002
It is Christ in us who gives us the strength to face the world, who gives us faith, joy and power! Colossians 1:26-27

SUMMARY

1. Fear is the opposite of faith. Fear is faith in the Devil!  Either we believe that God is able to deliver us, sustain us and heal us, or we have faith in the miseries that the Devil hands out. Matthew 6:24-34; John 10:7-11

2. Faith is like a bulldozer. It will move mountains. But God does not want us to drive all over the planet, he only wants us to drive where he directs us. John 14:10-15

3. There are times when God will not move in the life of a person, until that person has lined up with the will of God.
1 Chronicles 21:1-30

4. The key to harmony is to be in God’s will! Let God mold you as he has designed you and have you to work on the projects he has assigned to you. Do not try to be something that God has not designed you to be. Key words:

        TRUST GOD! OBEY GOD! LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART!    Romans 8:26-31

       Matthew 22:35-40; John 14:15

5. God will bless, staff and finance every ministry he has called into being, according to his will. Acts 1:4-8; 13:1-12

Timing is another important factor in our lives. God has his own timing, and it is not necessary in synchronization with out thinking.  Isaiah 55:8-11

We must learn to move with God- Exodus 14:8-31

6. When a Christian lives in sin - Christ moves out and the result is weakness, sickness, darkness, confusion, doubt and unbelief.  Deuteronomy 28:14-15

7. The key is Christ in us! Hebrews 8:7-13 This is what Paul is talking about, when he speaks of working out our salvation - Philippians 2:5-16

When we do this it becomes His faith, His righteousness, His holiness, His strength! To get to this position in Christ, a person must totally surrender his life at all times. There are no "part time brides" in the kingdom of God! John 15:14-17

8. Man’s will must be constantly surrendered! Luke 9:23-26

       Self must die!   1 Corinthians 2:1-5

THE BRUTAL TRUTH IS THIS: THE FLESH CANNOT BE IMPROVED, IT MUST DIE AND BE REMOVED! Romans 12:1-2
