Introduction:
-Known/Revealed will of God-This is the will of God that he was made very plain in the word of God.
example:
-Hidden will of God-This is the will of God that is known only by God, and is revealed on a case by case basis.
example:
-Hidden will of God-This is the will of God that is known only by God, and is revealed on a case by case basis.
example:
-It is important that we make this distinction, because when most people ask this question they are interested in his “Secret/Hidden” will.
Tell me about the verbiage in this verse?
What we notice is that it is God’s expectation that we find the will of God. and that he does not expect us to walk around for the duration of our life searching for something that he has made plain
Tell me from this verse why knowing the will of God is imperative?
two reasons: time is short and the days are evil.
This tells us the knowing the will of God is not just for benefit but ultimately for others.
Ephesians 5:15-
What does Paul say about how we should live in this present world?
We should not walk around not exercising wisdom, but the we should be wise
-(v.17)
Tells us not to be “Foolish” lacking knowledge (intentionally), but (seek) understanding what the will of the Lord is.
This is in the imperative, which means this a command by Paul.
Not subject to our interpretation.
-(v.17)
What the “will of God” is.
Paul commands us to know the will of God.
If Paul commands us to know the will of God, what does this imply about God?
This implies that God has made his will plain.
-(v.18)
Starts with another command “do not be drunk with wine” for that is dissipation.
“but be filled with the Spirit” He is using the picture of a drunkard to teach about “Spirit filling”
-Spirit filling can be an obscure teaching, so Paul gave us a physical example of what it looks like:
Tell me how the drunkenness motif relates to Spirit filling?
Alcohol captures the person personality and faculties making the person become something that is not themselves.....Spirit filling is when the HS has taken over your faculties(Mind, Body & Spirit)
Tell me what that look like when the Spirit just takes over your mouth, mind, and body?
Tell me the difference between the indwelling of the HS and the filling of the HS?
Common Misconceptions about the HS:
-We have to pray for his presence: If you are a christian he goes wherever you go
-
-We need more of his love: His love for you does not grow, because it is always at a maximum.
We grow to Love God more, but God does not grow to love us more
-We need more grace-Grace is power & Sufficiency to live this life
We need him to give more strength-He has given you all the strength you will ever need
We need you to guide us-he has given us his word
psalm 119
-There is a reason most of us pray this way, and that is because it seems as if the HS comes in doses and we get stronger and stronger.
In the process.
That’s what it feels like but that is not actually what’s happening.
-What’s happening is that the HS is getting more of you and his power is not being hinder by our disobedience.
-(v.8) “but you will recieve power(dunamis) when the HS has come upon you”
-This power is for a specific purpose.
It is not absolute power, it is directed power.
Power enough to complete a task.
Notice the task “and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth”
What did God give the witnesses?
He gave them explosive power that was sufficient enough for them to finish the task
illustration: House in Ypsilanti no vents in the basement
The spirit-filled life yields every decision to the control of the Spirit
How can one live this principle out in his life??
Matthew
When Peter keep his eyes on God what was he able to do??
When Peter took his eye off God what happened to him???
How do we apply this teaching?
How does the Spirit filled life express itself in life?
