Title: Stay awake in prayer
Contents
Introduction
1. Everything is in the Gospel,
(1) The problem lies in how to know, enjoy, and actually realize the gospel as God's grace.
(2) How will we realize the gospel in our lives in earnest in 2012?
So “realization of the life of an evangelist”
⑶ We received responses and set goals to realize in five areas.
① Realize the Gospel of Christ to me.
② Realizing the Gospel of Christ in the church community
③ Realizing the Gospel of Christ in field evangelism
④ Realize the Gospel of Christ as a blessing in life
⑤ Realizing the Gospel of Christ as a mission field
2. On the basis of the gospel of Christ, we must receive answers through messages on Sundays and Sundays.
You must get an answer through a message from the pulpit today.
Main subject
1. For the message of the gospel to be the answer to me.
You must know that there are laws and gospels in the gospel.
(1) Heed the warnings of the law.
① The law is God's word that makes sin a sin-Romans 3:20) Therefore, there is no body to be justified before Him by the works of the law.
② Our essence was a people of perdition with no hope at all.
Romans 3:10) "There is none righteous, not even one,
(Romans 6:23) The wages of sin is death, and the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 2:3) In those days we all were among them, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and living in the lusts of our flesh, and like them, by nature children of wrath,
③ In conclusion, nothing in the world is the answer to me. except for Christ,
(2) The gospel is the perfect answer to people who have no answers under the law (Romans 3:21,22).
① Romans 10:13) "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Acts 2:21) But whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'
At this time, we must truly call on the name of the Lord and be freed from all the demands of the law.
⑶ So we are sinners under the law. We should always give thanks for confession and as a saved child of God.
Philippians 2:12) “Therefore, my beloved, work out your own salvation all the more with fear and trembling.”
2. Be careful not to be crushed.
It is not easy to lead a religious life these days. How should we live in these times? I'll have to find the answer in today's sermon.
(1) Your hearts are not in debauchery and drunkenness,
① Debauchery - A state of nausea due to drunkenness
② The state of being unable to control the body because of eating too much
③ The state of living by completely instinctive, animal behavior
(2) with the cares of life
① This is different from the above, the typical attitude of life of foreign people
② A person who is always concerned about worldly success, namely money, fame, and happiness
③ If you cling to life too much, your heart will be crushed, and you will not be able to lead a religious life.
But even if you have everything in the world, you are not truly satisfied.
⑶ Freedom of the soul is necessary.
① Even those who live for carnal pleasures,
② Those who live for the success of the flesh,
③ In the end, they live under pressure. -You cannot look to God because your heart is dull.
⑷ Those who are in this condition must repent and turn around today.
God gave man free will.
We must submit our selves to the Word by our will.
3. What should I do? - Stay awake and pray for that.
(1) Always live with an attitude of standing before God.
Matthew 6:6) “When you pray, go into your closet, close the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. Then your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.”
Luke 21:36) So that you may flee from all these things that are to come, and stand before the Son of Man.
Matthew 7:13) "Enter through the narrow gate. The gate to destruction is wide and the road is wide, and many enter it through it.
7:14) The gate to life is narrow and the road is rough, and few find it.”
(2) Pray and stay awake at all times.-Keep your spiritual state (with the answer in Acts 1:1,3,8)
① Meditation ② Scheduled Prayer ③ Concentrated Prayer ④ Continuous Prayer ⑤ 24-hour Prayer
⑶ If you really pray, you have all the answers.
① All the answers are in the gospel.
② The way to enjoy the gospel is prayer.
③ Prayer is a spiritual science. - If you pray, it will be answered correctly.
④ However, many people are deceived by “prayer events” and “acts of prayer”.
⑤ We must seek, obtain, and enjoy clear answers to the gospel through prayer.
conclusion. Let's decide the life of an evangelist by following Jesus, our model.
1. The life of Jesus during the last month
- He taught in the temple by day and prayed in the mountains by night.
(1) The basics of our life are the Word and prayer.
⑶ In order for our life to become the life of an evangelist as described in the Bible, we must listen to the Word and pray for the Word to be the answer to us.
⑶ The results of the Word and prayer appear in your life as evangelism.
2. He gave the Word. The gospel is fulfilled in my life only when I submit myself to the Word.
(1) There is absolutely no answer when the mind is weighed down with debauchery, drunkenness, and the worries of life.
(2) Know your condition, take care of yourself and pray to stand before God, and always be awake.
3. Godly sorrow brings great benefits (2 Corinthians 7:8-11)
