Contributed by Shane Brooks on May 5, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: A recap and impactful closing to the series
Everything Jesus ever talked about was new
Covenant, Heaven, Earth, Creation, Mind, Song, Day,
When he says he’s bringing rivers to the wilderness- it means
1. THERE”S NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING LOST
2. GOD CAN GET YOU OUT
3. MAYBE NOT HOW YOU”RE EXPECTING
Last week we learned, God wants us to get the old stuff out of our lives
So he can put new stuff in it---
You Need to have a Garage Sale, A spring wing ding of the mind
The biggest hindrance to what God wants to do in your life
IS WHAT GOD”S DONE IN YOUR LIFE
In the BIBLE- Everytime God did a new thing- The old thing hated it
NEITHER ARE WRONG- ONE”S NEW, ONES OLD
Styles of Churches- that works if you like church
Types of music- that’s cool if like those songs
Types of Dress- We dress respectful----YEAH or make people feel insecure
Discussed Logos & Rhema---
Logos in the greek means- written word
Rhema in the greek means- Spoken word
“Faith Comes by hearing & Hearing by the word of God” Rom 10:17—Rhema
"The rhema is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the rhema of faith, which we preach.... Rom. 10:8
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the rhema of God" Ephesians 6:17
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every rhema of God." Mat. 4:4
Acts 17:11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
What God has said, Is so important- it’s the foundation to Christian Life
But if all you have is foundation, Then your not building- GET WET
Need to hear what God has said, BUT YOU NEED HEAR WHAT HE”S SAYING
“Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God”
Why did Jesus Weep?- John Hagee say- cuz he loved Lazurus
HE wept because they still had no faith- He know Laz dead 4 days ago
HE wept because Jesus was talking life and all they could do was talk death
God BREATHED LIFE- INTO LAZURUS-
I like the fact the disciples- rolled the stone away- unwrapped him
I don’t have to be the one who raises the dead, JUST LET ME ROLL THE STONE
God wants to breath his life into us- LOOSE US- and LET US GO
CANT GET FREE TILL YOU TAKE THE GRAVE CLOTHES OFF
When Jesus see the church- He weeps- All we talk about is death- He has life
Something new that could change us forever
“When we all get to Heaven”
My husband… My Job….My wife….My kids…
Quit talking about death- Breathe life into those things---DRY BONES
Start looking for the LIFE--
Let’s allow God do something new in our lives
