The Household of God Ephesians 2:19
Live and Work from the Heart Reading: John 4:24 1. Introduction This year is the year that we enhance our lives in the spiritual life. They that worship God must worship Him in spirit and in truth. 2. Eternally Connected No creation is completely independent of it's creator because the marks of workmanship will identify the creator. Ephesians 2:10 The connection to the creator is that objective for which he created the creature. We are connected and your are connected in spirit. Our creator is the father of all spirits. Hebrews 12:9 3. Best Performing Creature These are the creation that work according to the objectives and specifications of the creator. Note that we create things so that we can offload some activity to them. Ezekiel 3:17,33:7 The performance of any creature is ambassadorial. We live for the Lord. Romans 14:8 4. Ambassadors Performance If an ambassador is not sure of anything he must contact his home country. Romans 12:2 It is irresponsibility for an ambassador to leave everything for his home country to do as much as is it wrong for him to do all things himself. 2Corinthians 5:20, Ephesians 6:19-20, Galatians 2:20 5. The Heart responds to Truth A man functions properly if he receives truth. John 17:17 Lies at any level will destroy a man's life no matter how small. Seek truth for your life! Where can one find truth and make his way prosper? Joshua 1:8, John 17:17, 1 Thessalonians 2:13. 6. Walking in The Spirit Walk in the spirit and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16. This is living as God made you. The two lives (Spiritual and Physical lives) are mutually exclusive. If one lives in the spirit one would not fulfil the desires of the flesh. 7. The Key -Live From the Heart Live from your heart Matthew 18:35. The true Christian Life comes from the Heart. It is possible for a man to live a fake life. John 7:19-20 Spiritual Mindedness To be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:5-6. It is possible to think contrary to your will but you cannot willingly do things against your will. Spiritual mindedness is walking in consonance with yourself. Do not be tempted to live a fake life. 8.
