Title: Philippians 2:5-8
Content Philippians 2:5-8 / The way out of the stuffy stagnation
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 2:6 Although he was in the form of God, he did not regard equality with God as robbery.
Philippians 2:7 Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.
Philippians 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of a cross.
The reason for stagnation - because of stubbornness
When stubbornness is broken - emptying
Emptying is not difficult when you realize that you have received everything you have.
Jesus said that emptying is the accumulation of treasures in heaven.
Jesus kept emptying the earth. He emptied himself, came to this earth in human form, and became obedient to the point of death.
We too must be empty after Jesus.
When you start emptying, the ability will appear from then
1. Knowing love.
Love endures long...
The true essence of love is not to bind you, but to set you free
They call it love and try to control it and tie it up.
Love is what sets you free, sets you free and gives you wings
We often fall into stubbornness in the name of love.
Love is not to control, not to hold on to, but to let go
You will realize this true love in God.
2. Creativity is born
Stubbornness is something that doesn't change. I will go as is. I'll take it easy
This kind of stability is not seeking stability from the living God, but taking stability in our own strength.
God is invisible and walks by faith
Unbelief - Giving up the security that God gives and trying to take stability in your own strength
The fact that we cannot empty ourselves and hold on to ourselves means that we do not believe in God and that we believe in me.
Instead of relying on God alone, shouldn't I be pioneering tomorrow?
Faith - I will be free and secure in God
King Saul had it all, but he was anxious. I'm trying to get stability on my own
David - Courageous even before Goliath. Because I am at peace in God.
A person whose source of stability is in God has courage
Those who can empty those who have the belief that God will fill them with stability
Empty life - There is grace and emotion. I feel relieved because I believe in God.
I feel anxious when I think that I have to protect myself.
If you don't empty it, it will rot.
How to get fresh water - empty it daily
(Prayer) We thank God for what He has given us, and we believe that He wants to empty everything and will fill it up again.
Holding onto it is making me rot.
Help us to empty hard what we have inside.
