An Excellent Spirit (5) Slides

The Bible also has bad examples of spirit - the sons of Zeruiah (David's nephews), though very useful, were too hard and harsh. The sons of thunder (James and John) were told by Jesus they did not know how much their spirit was wrong. Some rules to help rule your spirit were included.

The Bible has many examples and precepts to rule your spirit, and you can do it. Joseph and David are other great examples beyond Daniel. Paul is a great example by his grace toward difficult churches. Starting with your heart, use only gracious speech. You must also limit anger, for it is rarely righteous.

Ruling your spirit will bring the favor of God and men in your life. You can even be like God and show yourself His child by ruling your spirit about enemies. He shows us how by His treatment of His enemies. Learn the lesson of Goliath or Saul, Judas or Peter. Rather than hate them, learn to love them.

Your spirit is that internal force in you that influences actions and reactions greatly. The Bible uses many different names and parts for your spirit. The difference between a man that rules his spirit and a man that does not is very great. But you can do it! This should be an exciting goal for your life.

Daniel had an excellent spirit that moved Darius to consider putting him over all of Persia. His peers tried to find error and fault in him, but they could not; he was faithful. By self-examination and ruling our spirits by His help, we can have an excellent spirit.

Emancipation Proclamation (2)

Emancipation = to set free from slavery. Proclamation = official announcement by public notice of a ruler's order. America has one in its history. The Exodus from Egypt and Cyrus sending Jews home from Babylon were two more. But Christians have the greatest liberation and proclamation by far.

Hate backsliding. Love perfection with God. Crave full fellowship with Him now that will fit you for confidence Judgment Day. Forget gross sins; think spiritual dullness.

Backsliding in heart is a grave danger for Christians and churches, as Jesus warned Ephesus. Forget gross sins; think spiritual dullness.

Paul was afraid and jealous that Corinth might listen to false teachers about another Jesus, another Spirit, and another gospel. Our pastor took a seven-week sabbatical to review near 50 other church services and sermons to see the perilous times up close and personal. Here are some of his findings.
