PNEUMA VS PSUCHE
Pneuma vs. Psuche
|Part 1 |
| |
|I. Gospel of the Kingdom |
| |
|A. Many kinds of “Gospels”(i.e, Gospel of Salvation, Gospel of the Kingdom, Gospel of Healing) |
| |
|B. Shall be preached to all nations before the end (Matthew 24:14, And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the|
|world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.) |
| |
|C. Gospel of Salvation precursor to Gospel of the Kingdom. |
| |
|D. All part of the “Good News” picture. |
| |
|E. Gospel of the Kingdom is the “Work of Christ.” |
| |
|II. Must Learn |
| |
|A. Walk in the “Pneuma”, not the "Psuche" |
| |
|B. How to discern differences. |
|1. If what you are hearing/experiencing comes from the pneuma or psuche realm. |
| |
|2. You need to know if those around you are working through the psuche realm. They will target your weaknesses. |
| |
|3. Makes sure that what is being taught you lines up with the Word of God. |
| |
|4. Does it satisfy pride or create self-confidence. |
| |
|5. Does it attempt to ADD to the Work of Christ. |
| |
| |
|III. Soul Versus Spirit |
| |
|A. Matthew 11:28-29, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, |
|and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." |
|1 Soul must rest. |
| |
|2. Walk in humility. |
| |
|3. Christ is at the center, it is not “of” us. |
| |
|B. Pneuma moves forward with power when soul is at rest. |
| |
|C. Force of “self” |
|1. Many using it against enemy. |
|2. Like exercise, is a striving. |
|3. Outward performance – many us a gauge. |
|4. Emotionally based. |
|5. Dead work. |
|6. Soul ties – used to manipulate to get you out of rest. |
| |
|D. Pneuma Walker |
|1. Our confidence is “In Christ.” |
| |
|2. All things are done “in Him, of Him, by Him and for Him.” |
| |
|3. Our walk “In Christ” is where people get delivered. |
| |
|4. Lively hope. 1 Peter 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy |
|hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” |
| |
|5. We have new life BY resurrection of Christ. |
| |
|6. Ask for WISDOM. James 1:5, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth |
|not; and it shall be given him.” |
| |
|7. Our Heavenly Father wants us to have Light/Knowledge of Him. |
| |
|8. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, "For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of |
|strong holds;Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing |
|into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" |
| |
|9. "Pneuma" is a blast of air as in pneumatic and "Psuche" is a breath or puff of air. |
| |
| |
|Part 2 |
| |
|I. Must nurture and feed your faith (trust), |
|starve your doubts |
| |
|A. Philemon 1:6, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is |
|in you in Christ Jesus.” |
| |
| |
|II. It’s the good fight of faith. |
|A. Repentance from dead works and faith toward God. Revelation 2:25-26, “But that which ye have already hold fast till I |
|come. and he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.” |
| |
| |
|III. HIS works in your life. |
|A. Hebrews 6:1, “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again |
|the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.” |
| |
|B. Repent from YOUR work. |
| |
|C. God hates “self” life |
| |
|IV. The “just” shall live by this faith. |
| |
|A. Habakkuk 2:2-4, “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that |
|readeth it. |
|For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because|
|it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by|
|his faith." |
| |
|B. Roman 1:17, “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by|
|faith.” |
| |
|C. Faith (trust) in God. |
| |
|D. Acknowledge the truth. |
| |
|E. Get into “Christ life.” |
| |
|V. Opposing Ourselves. |
| |
|A. 2 Timothy 2:25-26, “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to|
|the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by |
|him at his will.” |
| |
|B. Programmed to fail. Sin means "missing the mark." Romans 6:11, "Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto |
|sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
| |
|C. The truth shall make you “free", acknowledge the truth. |
| |
|D. Recovery. |
| |
|E. Deliverance. "I am delivered, in Christ the great I AM." |
|F. Freedom. John 8:36, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” |
| |
|VI. Awareness. |
|A. Those around us |
|B. Soul/self life/soul ties. Referring to relationships and soul ties. |
| |
|Ephesians 5:21-25, "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,|
|as unto the Lord. |
|For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. |
|Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your|
|wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it." |
| |
|Ephesians 6:1-3, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. |
|Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest |
|live long on the earth." |
| |
|Ephesians 6:5-9, "Servants (employees), be obedient to them that are your masters (employer) according to the flesh, with |
|fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of |
|Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that |
|whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, ye masters |
|(employers), do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master (God) also is in heaven; neither |
|is there respect of persons with him." |
|C. The enemies tactics. |
| |
|VII. Our strategy. |
| |
|A. The truth. |
|B. Who we are "IN CHRIST". |
|C. Recognizing (“reckoning”) Romans 6:11, “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God |
|through Jesus Christ our Lord.” |
|D. Rest. |
| |
|Part 3 |
| |
|I. We have “Victory,” IN CHRIST. |
| |
|1 Corinthians 15:57, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” |
| |
|A. Hope in the Lord. |
| |
|B. In Psalms, David talks to his “soul” man. Encourages himself. Psalms 42:5, “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art |
|thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.” |
| |
|C. Hold fast (tightly) to our profession/confession. Hebrews 10:23, “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without |
|wavering; (for he is faithful that promised).” |
| |
| |
|II. Pneuma (Spirit) more powerful than Psuche (soul). |
| |
|A. Walking in pneuma, walking in the Spirit. |
|B. Catch a vision from God, it brings hope. "I am visionary, in Jesus Christ." |
| |
|C. Stay focused on Christ, that's where the vision is. Proverbs 29:18, "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he |
|that keepeth the law, happy is he." Thank you God for your vision. Habakkuk 2:2, "And the LORD answered me, and said, Write |
|the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." |
|D. Keep your eyes on Christ. |
| |
| |
| |
|III. Psuche Power - Soulish Man |
| |
|A. Man’s attempt to ascend – in and of himself. |
| |
|B. Works realm. |
| |
|C. Legalistic. Letter of the Law mentality. |
| |
|D. Bondage – the stronghold is in the “soul” man. |
| |
|E. 2 Corinthians 10:5, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, |
|and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” |
| |
|IV. Jesus. |
| |
|A. No corruptible seed in Christ. Jesus was in the "likeness of sinful flesh". Romans 8:3, "For what the law could not do, |
|in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in |
|the flesh:" |
| |
|B. Romans, the entire 8th Chapter. |
| |
|C. 1 Peter 1:23, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and |
|abideth for ever.” |
| |
|D. 2 Corinthians 10:12, “For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend |
|themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.” |
| |
|Part 4 |
| |
|I. Psuche World – Natural Man |
|Psychic world has crept into the Church. Jesus warned us of these things. |
|The Law of Moses (Ten Commandments along with all the rules in Deuteronomy) are tied into the soul, political power is a |
|soulish thing, Leaven of Herod has a Roman root. The feet of the image in the Book of Daniel . |
|There is a spiritual Babylon. |
|Ephesians 6:12, We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the|
|darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. |
|God said He would pour out His Pneuma (Spirit) |
|The Father sees you complete, in Christ (Colossians 2:10). He empowers you to be all you can be. |
| |
|New Age religions have bled over into the church. Many are looking to see Jesus and see through the glass darkly. |
| |
|Surrender completely and become baptized in Christ. The Spiriti of God baptizes you into Jesus Christ when you surrender. |
| |
| II. Professions of Faith |
| |
|Water baptism, old things passed away. Your baptized in Christ. |
| |
|Baptism in water is an outward profession of faith that the old man is dead and you are a new person (a new creation). |
| |
|Speak to one another the Word. That is the labor of active faith. |
| |
| |
|Baptism and Holy Communion are Sacraments. The Communion Supper is done in remembrance of Him and the work He has done. In |
|His blood we are made new creations. |
| |
|Life in Christ is in His blood. It reverses the curse. |
| |
| |
|Hebrew 9:22, "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." |
| |
|The enemy works through our relationships (husbands, wives, children, relatives, employers, employees, etc. |
|Faith is in God, faith in Jesus Christ and not in our works (our self works effort). |
|II Corinthians 10:12 Comparing oneself with others. God says to come out of that. For we dare not make ourselves of the |
|number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves; but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing |
|themselves among themselves, are not wise. |
|Gives a false sense of confidence. We have liberty in Christ. |
|II Corinithians 11:1-3, Would to God ye could bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have |
|espoused you to one husband (Jesus) that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as |
|the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. |
|Paul wants us to be hooked up to Christ to become a new creature. The old you is crucified. |
|II Peter 1:4, Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the |
|divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. |
|Become partakers of the divine nature. |
| |
| |
|Part 5 |
| |
|I. Psuche man |
| |
|A. Natural, soulish man cannot understand. 1 Corinthians 2:14, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of |
|God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” |
| |
|B. “Soulical” realm – wilderness walking. The people wandered in the desert for 40 years because they doubted. |
|1. Fallen Man program. |
| |
|2. Bloodline of our forefathers. |
| |
|II. Solution |
| |
|A. We must learn who we are IN CHRIST. |
| |
|B. We must learn what’s already been done for us IN CHRIST. |
| |
|C. We are to agree that we are crucified, descended, resurrected and ascended IN CHRIST. |
| |
|For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul|
|and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." |
| |
|D. Recognize that it IS so. Romans 6:11, “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God |
|through Jesus Christ our Lord.” |
| |
|E. Enter “rest” in and through the work of Christ. Hebrews 4:11-12, “Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest |
|any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged |
|sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the |
|thoughts and intents of the heart.” |
| |
|F. Romans 6:2-8, “God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as |
|were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that |
|like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if |
|we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing |
|this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve |
|sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.” |
| |
|G. Allow the Word of God to rightly divide the spirit, soul and body. |
| |
|H. Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the |
|dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the |
|heart.” |
| |
|I. Decide to abide – say daily, "I can't do it, I decide to abide." |
| |
|J. Daily surrender, acknowledgement of the truth. |
| |
|K. Professions of faith, Examples “I am dead to doubt and resurrected to totally trusting the Lord.” “I am dead to sickness |
|and resurrected to walking in complete health.” “I am dead to confusion, I am resurrected to a clear mind.” |
| |
|L. Hold fast to your professions/confessions. Hebrews 4:14, “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into|
|the heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.” |
| |
|III. How do we break soul ties? |
|We wrestle not against flesh and blood. |
| |
|A. 2 Corinthians 10:5, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and|
|bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” |
| |
|B. Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers|
|of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” |
| |
|C. The enemy works through iniquitous bloodline. The things we bring with us from our forefathers. Doctors are now saying that|
|such things as alcoholism, allergies, overweight, certain diseases, etc., are things we bring with us in our genes. If this |
|so, we need to be aware of them and declare, affirm, that it is not so in our lives….that we are regenerated (regened – we are|
|new creature) IN CHRIST and those things cannot be so in our lives. Call yourself dead to it/them. Declare what Christ has |
|done for you and stand on the Word in these areas. If your faith/trust level has grown, begin to declare what Christ has done |
|for you – ALREADY. |
| |
|D. Read all of Galatians, Chapter 3. We are heirs to the promises made by God to faithful Abraham. We are no longer under the |
|curse. |
| |
|E. God wants us to be broken (surrendered) and set free from the curse. Those things sown in through our forefathers, |
|environment, etc. |
| |
|F. Things have been sown into our soul – this is why we have “the battle” dilemna (like Paul in Chapter 7 of Romans) – we want|
|to, but we do not, etc. |
| |
|G. We need to renew our minds through the Word and the finished work of Christ. |
| |
|H. Philippians 2:5, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” We can have the “mind” of Christ, to discern |
|that which is good for us and to rightly divide what is happeniing. |
| |
|I. Colossians 3:10, “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.” |
| |
|J. We have to LET ourselves have what we have IN CHRIST, let ourselves AGREE with it. KNOWING that our old man is crucified in|
|Christ. |
| |
|K. Romans 6:6-7, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that |
|henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.” |
| |
|L. Now it is time for you to confirm/affirm it to yourself. AFFIRM – “I Can”, “I Will”, “I Shall”, IN CHRIST. You can’t do it |
|yourself, but IN HIM you can. |
| |
|M. Allow the WORD to rightly divide your spirit, soul and body. Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and|
|sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and |
|is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” |
| |
|N. The natural/carnal man does not receive the things of God, so we end up spinning our wheels, living in the soul realm, |
|having a hard time recovering from all that keeps happening to you – over and over again. You end up saying, “Didn’t I go |
|through this once before?” In Christ, you HAVE been set free, you HAVE been delivered. |
| |
|O. Colossians 1:12-13, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the |
|saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” |
| |
|P. Engage the knowledge that you’ve been given through the Keys of David series and loose and bind those things in your life |
|that hinder you by affirming constantly that which has ALREADY been done for you through the work of Christ.. See that the |
|Word can rightly divide the spirit, soul and body which allows you to “Rest” in the finished work of Christ. |
| |
| |
|Part 6 |
| |
|I. Armour of God |
| |
|Ephesians 6:11-19, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we |
|wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this |
|world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to |
|withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having|
|on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; And take the helmet of |
|salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the |
|Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given |
|unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.” |
| |
|A. Symbols of a doctrine; truth, righteousness, gospel of peace, faith, salvation, Spirit. |
|1. Each piece represents the Doctrine of Christ. |
| |
|2. Our understanding is not limited to physical. |
| |
| |
|II. Knowledge is key. Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” |
| |
|A. Imperative that you know who you are IN CHRIST. |
| |
|B. Destruction pursues those who do not seek nor learn of Christ. |
| |
|C. We are instructed to learn of HIM. Matthew 11:29-30, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in |
|heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” |
| |
|D. Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” |
| |
|E. We are instructed to STAND. Galatians 5:1, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be |
|not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” and James 1:6, “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that |
|wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” |
| |
|F. It is OUR responsibility. 2 Timothy 2:26, “And that they (us) may recover themselves (ourselves) out of the snare of the |
|devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” Why? Because we do not know where we stand and who we are, IN CHRIST. |
| |
| |
|Part 7 |
| |
|I. Building our Faith/Trust. |
| |
|A. It is important that we don’t attempt to get everyone into our viewpoint. We can really turn them off to Jesus. |
| |
|B. Be aware of “self” or “false” confidence. |
| |
|C. Build with Living Word |
| |
|D. Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the |
|dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the |
|heart.” |
| |
| |
|III. How to tell if you are in the “natural” or “soulish” realm. |
| |
|A. An important question to ask yourself – Are you trying to do anything yourself that Jesus came to do and already did? |
| |
|B. An example – Are you trying to make yourself a better person….no more angry outbursts, no more little white lies, no more |
|excuses, I’m going to quit this, or I’m going to turn my life around. |
| |
|C. “Soulish” realm cannot accomplish this task. The soul took the brunt of the lie or the seed of the serpent, the iniquitous|
|seed. You can't plug all the holes in the dike. |
| |
|D. The soul realm is where “strongholds” exist. |
|E. Everyone has genetic programming that needs evolution, based on the work of Christ |
| |
| |
|IV. Walk in the Pneuma/Spirit. |
| |
|A. 2 Peter 1:4, “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the |
|divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” |
| |
|B. Will not walk in the flesh. |
| |
|C. Soul will remain in rest. |
| |
|D. Strongholds taken |
| |
|E. Renewal manifests – from the INSIDE OUT not from the outside in. |
| |
| |
|Part 8 |
| |
| |
|I. The Armour of Light |
| |
|Put on the Armour of Light. Romans 13:12, “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of |
|darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” |
| |
|A. How do you displace darkness? |
| |
|B. Turning the Light on in our lives. Displace the darkness. |
| |
|C. Walking in Light. When you share the 'Good News' the Holy Spirit will turn on the light. |
|1. John 8:12, “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in |
|darkness, but shall have the light of life.” |
| |
|2. Ephesians 5:8, “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:” |
| |
|3. I John 1:5-7, “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is |
|no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we |
|walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth|
|us from all sin.” |
| |
|4. Philippians 2:5, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” |
| |
|II. Soul Man |
| |
|A. Reevaluate according to the work of Christ. 2 Peter 1:4, Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: |
|that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." |
| |
|B. Lost the light because of sin. |
| |
|C. Enemy sees our genetic weaknesses |
| |
|D. Tries to get us too busy, uninterested in our spiritual walk, off guard. |
| |
|E. Confrontation in our soul. Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, |
|against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." |
| |
|F. Remedy |
|1. Fight the good fight of faith/trust. 1 Tim 6:12, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou |
|art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” |
| |
|2. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are |
|not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that |
|exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” |
| |
|3. Ephesians 6:11, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” That armour |
|is Jesus Christ and the attributes of the armour are all that He represents.” |
| |
|III. Relationships |
| |
|A. Operate in the soulish realm. |
| |
|1. Galatians 3:13, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is|
|every one that hangeth on a tree.” |
| |
|B. Soul ties. |
| |
|1. Galatians 5:1, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the|
|yoke of bondage.” |
| |
|C. Remedy for relations – work of Christ. Do not go to prayer with someone without first addressing problems that arise in |
|relationships. |
| |
|1. Fight to keep the faith. Ephesians 6:14-17, “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the |
|breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of |
|faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword|
|of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” |
| |
|2. 1 Corinthians 2:5, “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” |
| |
|3. Hebrews 10:23, “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)” |
| |
|4. Keep wholeness and fullness. |
| |
|5. Cover, in prayer, those who you are connected to. |
|6. People you are connected with and "things" come against you to get you out of rest. |
|7. Take on the whole armour of god and get cloaked in Christ. take a spiritual stand and do not attack to further the |
|situaion. To "not" attack IS your attack. Stand therefore, as the scripture says. |
| |
|8. Ephesians 6:1-19 talks about all relationships (children, spouses, employees and employers). |
| |
|D. Fulfillment found only in Christ. |
| |
|E. Rest is God’s best. Rest: root word for "wrestle" is "rest". Wrestling is unrest. |
|1. Hebrews 4:1, “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to |
|come short of it.” |
| |
|2. Hebrews 4:9-11, “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath |
|ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the |
|same example of unbelief.” |
|3. Part of the armor is the girdle (Girt) of truth. Truth will make you stand up straight, the truth of who you are, your |
|worthiness in Him, being a new creature in Christ, old things are past away and all things become new, of the enemy being |
|defeated ( 1 John 3:8 and Heb. 2:14). Both he and his works are destroyed in Christ. Stop warring with the enemy, you are |
|transformed in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17) |
| |
| |
|Part 9 |
| |
|I. Abide in Christ and you shall bear much fruit |
|John 15:5, "I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for|
|without me ye can do nothing.” |
|I Am for the day -- I am Loved. |
|A. You are loved with the same love the Father has for the Son. |
|B. There is nothing that can separate me from the love of God, Romans 8:37-39, "Nay, in all these things we are more than |
|conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor |
|powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us |
|from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." |
| |
|C. John 17:22-23, “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, |
|and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them,|
|as thou hast loved me.” |
| |
|D. The entire Chapter 17 of John tells us how much Christ loved us, and how He is praying for us. How we are ONE, in Christ. |
| |
|E. Receive and believe what Christ has done for you in all four phases of the work of Christ. Every believer has the anointing|
|in their spirit man and the soul man is often blocking that anointing from flowing out of us to others. |
| |
|F. Walk in the anointing of Christ. Luke 4:18, “ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the |
|gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight |
|to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.” |
| |
| |
|II. Jesus has Living Water to give to us. |
| |
|A. John 7:38, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” |
| |
|B. We shall not thirst – spiritually – if we decide to abide. |
|C. If you get back in the ring with the enemy, you are forfeiting the opportunity to stay in a position of victory, in |
|Christ. If you give a place to the enemy, he can operate but technically he is nullified, he's spoiled. He has no power |
|unless you give it to him. We have to learn to STAND. |
| |
|D. John 4:13-14, “Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever |
|drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of |
|water springing up into everlasting life.” |
|E. Jesus Christ is referred to throughout the Bible, directly, indirectly, giving us total and complete deliverance in His |
|work. |
|F. May God open our eyes. That we would see and understand what Jesus did for us. You are a reciever and a dispenser for |
|God. Let the Holy Spririt flow through you today. The Spirit of God will lift you up and strengthen you. Philippians 1:19, |
|"For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ," |
|G. Paul prays that your eyes would be opened in Ephesians 1:18-10, "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye|
|may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, |
| |
|And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, |
| |
| Allow god to open your eyes." |
| |
| |
|II. Psalm 91: 1-16 |
|"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. |
|I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. |
|Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence. |
|He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler. |
|Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day; |
|[Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday. |
|A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee. |
|Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. |
|Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation; |
|There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. |
|For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. |
|They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. |
|Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. |
|Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. |
|He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. |
|With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation." |
| |
|A. Dwell in the “Secret Place, ” Heavenly Places. |
|1. Ephesians 2:6, “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” |
|B. Don’t fight the enemy, he has been defeated. |
| |
| |
|Part 10 |
| |
|I. Jesus restored the image of God for us. |
|I AM - I am made in God's image Genesis 1:27, "So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male|
|and female created he them." |
| |
|A. The Lord’s Prayer – Matthew 6:6-13. “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, |
|pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use |
|not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore |
|like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: |
|Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us|
|this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us|
|from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” |
| |
|B. Jesus spoke of a loving God, a giving God, one that restores, a father that cares. |
| |
|C. Believe it, receive it. |
|D. God is beautiful, intelligent and creative and He made you in His image. |
| |
| |
|II. Maintain your posture daily. |
| |
|A. Titus 3:8, “This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed |
|in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.” |
| |
|B. Philemon 1:6, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is |
|in you in Christ Jesus.” |
| |
|C. Luke 9:23, “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and |
|follow me.” Die daily to SELF. |
| |
|D. Acknowledge what Christ has already done. We need a DAILY confession/profession of faith, not a one-time, forget about it |
|and go on your way. The daily confession/profession of faith is imperative. It is found in all 66 books of the Bible. |
|"Don't let it depart of your eyes.." affirm constantly. |
| |
| |
|III. Renew your conscious mind, centered in you soul. |
| |
|A. Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove |
|what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” |
| |
|B. Renew your mind in the Word. |
| |
|C. Titus 3:5-7, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of |
|regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being |
|justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” |
| |
|D. Renew your mind to His Work (the four phases of the work of Christ) What was done for you when He was crucified, died, |
|resurrected and ascended. |
| |
|E. Soulish/Natural man. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, "(For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to |
|the pulling down of strong holds;) |
| |
|Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity|
|every thought to the obedience of Christ;" |
|So, these things are in our imaginations and in our thought life. We keep trying to deal with these things and not getting |
|any results, because we are in our soul-man, trying to do that which has already been done, trying to crucify ourselves. Just|
|as you get control of one thing, another pops up. It's called - dead works - your will power is not strong enough. |
|1 Corinthians 2:14, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: |
|neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” |
|F. Dead works – “looking” good |
|1. Hebrews 6:1, “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again |
|the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.” |
| |
|2. Hebrews 9:14, “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,|
|purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” |
| |
|3. Colossians 2:23, “Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not |
|in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.” |
|4.(Colossians 2:33) When it satisfies the flesh it's a dead work, its not Christ life. You can't say "look what I have done."|
|G. Only remedy – the work of Christ. |
|1. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Praise |
|God!!! Thank you Jesus!!!! |
| |
| |
|Part 11 |
| |
|Natural/Soulish Man |
| |
|I. Believers who do not know who they are and |
|what’s been done are “soulish.” |
| |
|A. What is a “soul centered” believer? They are rooted in “self.” |
| |
|B. “Self” centered Christians block the ability for the spirit man to move forward with Pneuma/POWER. |
| |
|C. The soul man gets in the way – cannot receive what God has for them. |
| |
|D. 1 Corinthians 2:14, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: |
|neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” |
| |
|E. Fallen man sees through the glass darkly. 1 Corinthians 13:12, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to |
|face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” |
| |
| |
|IV. The Rest |
| |
|A. Must learn to get the “soul man” to rest in the Work of Christ. |
| |
|B. Knowledge gained may puff up. |
| |

| |
|D. Hebrews 4:11, “Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” |
| |
|E. Repositioning according to the work of Christ. |
| |
|F. Repentance and submission. |
| |
|G. 2 Timothy 2:25-26, “In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to |
|the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by |
|him at his will.” |
| |
|H. Recognize it so – dead to sin. |
| |
|I. Romans 6:11, “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our |
|Lord.” |
| |
|V. Incorruptible seed Regenerated |
| |
|A. Titus 3:5-6, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of |
|regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.” |
| |
|B. Not by works, by the mercy of God. |
| |
|C. Justified by the grace of God |
| |
|D. Titus 3:7, “That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” And Romans |
|3:24-25, “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a |
|propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the |
|forbearance of God.” |
| |
|E. Work on your “faith” or “trust.” |
| |
|1. Study. 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing|
|the word of truth.” |
| |
|2. Hearing the Word of God. Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” |
| |
|3. Speak it. Psalms 42:5, “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall|
|yet praise him for the help of his countenance.” David spoke to himself – to his soul. Speak it – out loud. Confess/Affirm out|
|loud what God has already said about you. |
| |
|4. Affirm constantly. Titus 3:8, “This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they |
|which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.” |
| |
|Part 12 |
| |
|I. Law of sin and death. |
| |
|A. Romans 8:2, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” |
| |
|B. Natural Man. |
|1. 1 Corinthians 2:14, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: |
|neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” |
| |
|2. Romans 8:7-8, “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can |
|be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.” |
|C. Programming in the bloodline – Adam. |
| |
|D. Contradicts Pneuma. |
|1. Suppression. |
| |
|2. Religion. |
| |
|3. Your will power. |
| |
| |
|II. Grace. |

| |
|2. Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works,|
|lest any man should boast.” |
| |
|3. Romans 4:14-16, “For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: |
|Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression (the law holds up the mirror). Therefore it is |
|of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure …” |
| |
| |
| |
|III. Walking in the Spirit |
| |
|A. It is a result of the work of Christ. |
| |

| |
| |
|VI. Repent from dead works. Hebrews 6:1 |
| |
|A. Repent from trying to accomplish that which has already been done. |
|B. CDRA – crucified, dead, resurrected and ascended IN CHRIST |
| |
|C. REST in HIS finished work. |
|1 Matthew 11:29-30, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto |
|your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” |
|D. It has all been accomplished. “It is finished, in Christ.” |
| |
|E. Find the sure foundation. |
|1. Isaiah 28:16, “Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, a |
|precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” |
| |
|2. Abide, IN CHRIST. |
| |
|3. John 15:4-12, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more |
|can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth |
|forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; |
|and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned (used up, burned out and wasted). If ye abide in me, and|
|my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you (what you ask for will change as you see wha0t|
|His will for your life is and what is REALLY important). Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye |
|be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye |
|shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto |
|you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another (He is|
|talking to his disciples – love your fellow Christians – we should all be united IN HIM), as I have loved you.” |
