I don't have a sin problem... and neither do you!

Gravity  -  You can’t beat it.

Client lost 265 pounds…

Box jump 2 inches… to 20 inches.

 

You can’t beat gravity… but you can improve.

 

Eph. 3

17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

 

Look at the dot of an “I” in your bible.

That is the sun, it holds 1 million earths

Our current earth is the galaxy it lives in

THERE ARE PLANETS OUT IN OTHER GALAXIES THAT ARE BIGGER THAN OUR GALAXY. 

 

 

Paul is essentially praying that his listeners will do the impossible: to intellectually comprehend something that is inherently beyond intellectual comprehension, all so they can be entirely consumed by the divine.

 

He is telling you to try to beat gravity… you won’t but you can experience it greater and greater. 

 

 

A teacher in bible college put it this way… Describe to someone what the ocean is who has never SEEN THE OCEAN AND NEVER experienced anything liquid.

 

 

God calls us to grasp how wide, long, high and deep his love is… knowing we never will fully grasp it. 

 

 

But the attempt is clear: ALWAYS FOCUS ON GODS LOVE FOR US! 

 

 

 

When you focus on Gods love 3 things happen in your life! 

 

 

  - 1. Sin

We don’t have a sin problem, 

we have a knowing God problem.

 

 

Knowing His Supreme love keeps us tender and sinless - think of the time you were most whipped in love. I can. Kim and I were dating and she was in the car leaning forward fiddling with the radio. I was outside standing behind my car filling it up with gas. I looked at my buddy Pele and said can you believe that girl loves me? I literally

could not fathom it… He looked at me in disbelief and said “it makes no sense”. **But what if he then said “how many times do you think she will let you fool around 

with other girls… how many times will she let you smack her around, lie to her, steal from her, gossip about her… etc… I would have had a mental breakdown and sparks shoot from a short circuit in my head… that would make no sense to me. Knowing God’s love keeps us from asking how far can I go in the world...

 

 

Satan will take your sin, your past, your guilt and try to make you feel like a servant.

ITS CALLED SIN CONCIOUS

 

John 14:31 If you love the father you will obey his commandments.

Love God = the fruit is obedience.

 

*if you focus on the commands you will be religious and guilt ridden and sin conscious.

 

 

You will fall into the trap of trying to push yourself away from your sin

Using willpower

Discipline

Rules

Accountability 

 

What did Joseph say when he was tempted by Potiphar’s wife?

He remembers the 7th commandment: Thou shalt not have adultery…

NOPE!
