The Household of God Ephesians 2:19

Growing from In to Out: Sunday, October 07, 2018

Reading: 2Peter 3:18

1. Introduction
There is a source of growth for all living things. For the Physical life it is milk, for the spiritual life it is milk of the Word. 1Peter 2:2 Flesh of Jesus John 6:53
Growing should not only be a physical experience. It should not be seen as expansion of the physical facilities.
A bigger body part, a bigger bank account, a bigger circle of friends, etc
Any proper growth in a man must start in the Spirit followed by the Soul. (The body will follow)

2. How do we grow?
We know that this is not happening to many people because they grow only in their physical body. What shall it profit a man… Matthew 16:26.
A man may grow in many ways in the world but not in the most important way. In the things of the spirit and strengthen his soul.
Because though man has awareness of his soul it is ignored in the way he is living. But the Bible has revealed to us it is the work of the enemy 2 Corinthians 4:4
If the enemy can get you to focus on your flesh you are deceived. Consider those who love to eat. They become too fat to function. Life in the Lord must be balanced from the inside.

3. Help
Man needs help but this is not a physical thing Ephesians 2:8, so he is unable to help himself.
It is well known that Jesus came to help us to overcome these difficulties. John 10:10
But due to what has happened to man (in the fall Genesis 3:10), many take it as idle words.
Jesus is the one who makes it possible for you to hear from your spirit 1 Corinthians 2:9-13and therefore from God.


4. Hear You
If you refuse to hear your spirit (you) you will remain in darkness John 3:18-19. The light has come.
Know that you are easily entangled in sin Hebrews 12:1 but if anyone will listen to himself (His Spirit Luke 15:17) he can hear God from his spirit.
Note that as far as your heart is occupied with present issues, one has difficulty in hearing God.


5. You don't owe your flesh but your spirit
Romans 8:12-13 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.


6. We are encouraged to live by the spirit. John 4:24
The spirit of man is the God part of man
The Soul of a man is the eternal part (God created man part) of man Genesis 2:7.
The body is the house for man on Earth. 2 Corinthians 5:1
Can you imagine living solely on this Earth for your house? Even in the physical.


7. Guaranteed life from the Word
Better life
The path of the righteous shinneth brighter Proverbs 4:18 As a man works from within his spirit things become better and better. This is because you do the truth and not the lie a lot that comes from outside. Genesis 3:1.
Better Growth
Desire ye the sincere milk if the Work that tree may from there by
1 Peter 2:2
Acts 20:32 I commend you to the Word which is able to build you up. The Word of God builds
Wisdom 1 Corinthians 1:30
Greater Wisdom 2 Timothy 3:15
Make you wise until your soul is saved.

Father, help me live by your Word. Amen
