Condition & Position
World says find the right person, Bible says be the right person. Secret to happiness is in being
Love is not a feeling but willing. You can’t control how you feel but you can control how you feel
World says fall in love, God says walk in love. Love is path not valley
World says marry the person you love, God says love the person you marry
Human love is very selfish by nature, God’s love is very sacrificial by nature
God’s love is not fish love but cross love. Hate is not OPPOSITE of love
2 Samuel 9:6-7
Being a Christian doesn’t mean everyone will love you, it means you love them
We are asking people for something we have to be giving to them!!!!
Love didn’t leave him the way it found him. Revival at Vancouver!
Love God’s presence, that’s the only place we find love
Love doesn’t give us permission to sin but power to be changed
Love changed my wife. Dating verses covenant. Blood of new covenant. Death due us apart
Love RESTORED him – God is God of restoration….EVE…SARAH…PETER….PRODIGAL SON….HUMAN BODY…DAVID….POTTER (God is not doing what’s easier or cheaper) – doesn’t throw away the clay if it doesn’t turn out the way he wanted – God didn’t throw away Israel…..healing….delivrance…..
Love changed his position but not his condition
RELATIONSHIP with the King…eternal life is to know God
God loves us inside of our conditions – that’s why it’s unconditional
Mediate on your position, not your condition
Conditions change, your position doesn’t
Position: REDEEMED, JUSTIFIED, ACCEPTED, LOVED, RIGHTEOUSNESS, CHILD
God will change your condition if you don’t change your position
Condition is baby, position is son! Condition is seasonal, position is eternal!
Healthy baby needs: eating, sleeping, crying, and pooping – mommy (family)
