Christ's Triumph Means Your Transformation!!! (Part 2)

What Are The Steps To Transformation???

1.  Salvation by grace, through faith--Ephesians 2:8-9; II Corinthians 6:2--If you have never asked Jesus to come into your heart, be your Savior, and forgive you of your sin, then today is the accepted time--NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!!!

2.  Make Him the Lord of your life---John 12:24; Mark 12:30-31; Proverbs 3:5-6

3.  Consecrate your life to only allowing Him (Jesus) to make your decisions for living and giving to God and others.  II Corinthians 6:14-16.  Don't allow yourself to becomes friends with the world. (I John 2:15-17)  Don't allow yourself to depend on the fellowship of the world to be your motivation.

4.  Completely give up what you want in life and replace it with what He (Jesus) wants.  Allow Jesus to be your example in true Christian living.  Matthew 26:39; I Peter 2:21.

5.  Be someone that Christ can rely on to complete His calling.  (Matthew 28: 19-20)  Be that bridge that Christ can use to His ultimate purpose and plan.  (Ephesians 2:10_

6.  Let Jesus sign the debt for you and keep the deed that only will be known in eternity how much you truly sacrificed for the Master.  (Revelation 22:3-4, 9, 14).  Let me challenge you, Christian, to let Jesus be in charge--BE TRANSFORMED!!!

--Pastor Fryer

What Did Jesus Give Up For You???

1.  Heaven's glory--golden streets, a crystal river of life, and all the glitter and wonderful things of heaven.

2.  Being complete spiritually bodied--he took on human flesh which means that He bled and suffered just like we do.

3.  Gave up a spiritual relationship with His Father, so that you can h ave a spiritual relationship with the Father.

4.  Suffered completely so that you and I don't have to endure all the junk that He had to experience by being in a fleshly body.

5.  Letting His kingdom be "invaded" by mortal beings--You and I.  After we accept Christ as Savior.  He allows us to be on the level of getting a heavenly home from the Father.

6.  Letting us be called "children of God".  What a concept!!!  In eternity having a heavenly body designed to be free from all that we have to endure and encounter health-wise in this life.

7.  Choosing to forgive a rotten sinner and allowing that person to be called a relation of God the Father.

What is a Missionary?

1.  A missionary is one who will endure hardness as a soldier of Jesus Christ and will not complain about it.

2.  A missionary is one who will meet the needs of the lost so that the Master gets the credit--to the glory of the LORD!!!

3.  A missionary is one who works for the night is coming when no man/woman can work.  "I must work the works of him while it is day, the night cometh when no man/woman can work."

4.  A missionary is one who works well with others and is a team player for the Mawster for the cause of Christ.

5.  A missionary is one who shares the Love that Jesus has for others and is willing to give totally of him/herself to the cause of Jesus so that others can receive Him into their hearts and lives.

So, will you be "ONE WHO"?  It's not a difficult task, but it is a task that requires submission and putting Spiritual Things in "an order of importance".  We get excited about the things we like to do, but is it always what Jesus wants us to do?  How can you be a missionary this week?  Are you praying about meeting others who need that "word of encouragement"?  Let me challenge you, Christian, to live with "Eternity's Values in View".

---Pastor Fryer

The Whole Armor of God (part 3)

The third piece of armor is the Shield of Faith.

When teaching the armor of God, we teach that the Christian puts on the armor of one specific reason---to be protected from Satan and the tricks (wiles) that he dangles in front of the Christian.  The unprotected Christian fall every time for the tricks that satan puts in front of them, but the protected Christian wins the battle because the Lord is first and holding the armor to PROTECT the child of God. 

The shield of faith is a piece of armor that is acquired by the Christian exercising the muscle of Faith, or putting our trust in Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit to "guide us into all truth."  It is important that we see the true faith that we can exercise in the Trinity to be our protectors.

But according to Proverbs 1:25-32, if we choose not to regard the protection against satan that God affords to us, we are on our own.  And we will fall every time, because God is not invited into our lives to protect us from the wiles (tricks) of the devil.  However, those who "hearkeneth unto me (God) shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. 

So, the choice is yours Christian.  You can either live your life from calamity to calamity and live in fear, or you can trust in the Lord (Proverbs 3:5-6), put your faith in Him, and put on the "whole armor of God", to be protected from the wiles (tricks) of the devil.  The choice is yours and yours alone.

That's why some Christian live defeated lives, and some have total victory in their lives, and are constantly showered with God's blessings.

Choose whom you are going to trust......

---Pastor Fryer
