For Spirit demonstration Empowering His people Our God reigns The heavens are opened For Spirit demonstration Empowering His people To do an impregnable work

The House of God 1. Jesus is Building His Church 2. Jesus is Measuring His Church 3. Jesus is Setting Order in His Church: Structure (The 5 Who’s; 1 Cor 12) Chain of authority Correction (Discipline; Heb 12:5-7) Hear and change Shaking (To prepare us; Heb 12:26-27) Religion, Pride, Idolatry

1) Forsake foolish ways a) Does not know God

1) Forsake foolish ways Does not know God Does not do what he hears

1) Forsake foolish ways Does not know God Does not do what he hears Does not heed counsel

FOUNDATION (ROCK) = JESUS CHRIST ~ HEAR & DO HEAR & DO FOUNDATION (ROCK) = JESUS CHRIST

2) Forsake childish thoughts Selfish thoughts Carnal minded Easily led astray Eph 4:14 - that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.

2) Childish vs childlike faith Wants to know the truth Humble to trust their parents Find satisfaction with their parents Matt 18:3-4 - “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

3) Forsake worldly things Col 3:2-3 - 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Set your affection = to exercise the mind, that is, entertain or have a sentiment or opinion; by implication to be (mentally) disposed (more or less earnestly in a certain direction); intensively to interest oneself in (with concern or obedience)

Set our minds on things above 1) Look at life from God’s perspective 2) And to seek after what He desires

1) Look from God’s perspective Isa 55:9

2) Seek after what He desires Matt 6:33

2) Seek after what He desires Col 3:3a For you died, Col 3:3b and your life is hidden with Christ in God
