SPIRITUAL WORK 1 REPENTANCE IS: A spiritual work… Body, Soul, (spirit) Spirit, Soul, Body

SPIRITUAL WORK 1 REPENTANCE IS: Turning your whole world upside down. (Acts 17:6)

SPIRITUAL WORK 1 Are you living upside down or right-side up? Body-> Soul-> (Spirit) Soul-> Body->(Spirit) Spirit-> Soul->Body

WORD & SPIRIT 2 REPENTANCE: …Requires both the WORD & the SPIRIT.

WORD & SPIRIT 2 Spiritual life requires Word & Spirit! Daily Bread = Word + Oil Daily Water = Water + Wine Daily Life = Word of God (Heb 4:12)

WORD & SPIRIT 2 Repentance is a desired daily activity of the Word & the Spirit

Humility… Teachability… Spiritual hunger… Sincerity… Attitude shifts… Profound sorrow for effects of pride… OBSERVABLE 4

John Baptist asked for fruits of repentance from Israel…Jesus is asking for fruit of repentance from the world and His church! OBSERVABLE 4

A work in the spirit By the Word & Spirit THE starting point Observable REPENTANCE SUMMARYSUMMARY
