I want to ask y'all some questions!
19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
There are no trick questions......... The answer to all of them is YES
I want to ask y'all some questions!
Who wants to be made and feel complete?
Who wants to be made and feel complete?
Who wants to live in all the fullness of life?
Who wants to live in all the fullness of life?
Who wants to live in the fullness and power of God?
Who wants to live in the fullness and power of God?
Who wouldn't put their hand up?
Who is currently living completion, fullness and Power?
Who is currently living completion, fullness and Power?
Jesus died to bring us and abundant life lived to the full! I think you would agree we all fall short of the fullness Jesus intends for our lives!
But the bible wouldn't give us hope for something we could never achieve!
I believe we can live in Completion, Fullness and Power
Today i’m going to give you the 1 thing (according to Gods word) we need to live this life!
But first, throughout the message, i’m going to present you questions , no trick questions.......the answer is yes
But this is really important, if any of the questions are not a YES for you, that's OK, remember or write that area down because I believe Jesus wants you to have breakthrough in that area !
Every answer is yes!
If at any time you feel a no I want you to remember or write that area of your life down because that's the area that God wants you to break free in
The question is.............
ARE YOU WORTH IT?
ARE YOU WORTH IT?
ARE YOU WORTH IT WHEN THE DAMAGE IS DONE?
ARE YOU WORTH IT WHEN THE DAMAGE IS DONE?
Our Car
Since Christmas my car has had,
A cracked windscreen, now since replaced
A cracked windscreen, now since replaced
In the same day we, put the wrong fuel put in the car AND
Hit a Roo
Then, someone or thing smashed the review mirror,
Which lead us backing into something and putting a big hole in the rear guard and
Finally the other day i found a big dint in the roof.
I had a customer the other day ask what had happened and said that it looked like a bearute taxi!!
We know how it goes with cars....... it gets a dint here and a scratch there and it starts to not look as good as it used to, then it gets a couple more dint's and the kms clock up and the owner starts to feel as though the car is too far gone to worry about it any more.
It starts to lose its value in the eyes of it’s owner....Once that happens the car goes down hill and gets worse and worse.
Think of the most bashed up car you have ever seen on the road.......at one time that car was brand new.
It starts to lose its value in the eyes of it’s owner....Once that happens the car goes down hill and gets worse and worse.

QUESTION
Because my car has been beat up a bit, does that mean that i don't love it?
A person looking from the outside might look at my car and think that I don't care for it.
QUESTION
Its what i do after the damage that shows how much we love something

QUESTION
Because my car has been beat up a bit, does that mean that i don't love it?
A person looking from the outside might look at my car and think that I don't care for it.
My car has just gone through a bit of life!!!
Its what i do after the damage is done that shows how much we love something
I am going to fix my car, every scratch and dint is going to be sorted. You know why? because my car is worth it
What damage has been done in your lives?
I am going to fix my car, every scratch and dint is going to be sorted. You know why? because my car is worth it
QUESTION
What damage has been done in your lives?
The hardest thing for us humans is to accept the value that Christ places on us when we don't feel we are WORTH IT
I am going to fix my car, every scratch and dint is going to be sorted. You know why? because my car has worth in my eyes.
Think of the most bashed up car you have ever seen on the road.......at one time that car was brand new.
has worth in my eyes.
This got me thinking about our value
W
What damage has been done in your lives?
Do you know that you are worth repair in Jesus eyes
That your value is not found in your pristine condition
The hardest thing for us humans is to accept the value that Christ places on us when we don't feel we are worth it any more
That’s actually the strong hold Religion has on people. the thinking that we have to build up our worth to God so he will accept us
Love is shown most powerful when we deserve it least but need it most and by the lengths taken to prove it
Love is shown most powerful when we deserve it least but need it most and by the lengths taken to prove it
Its not that he doesn't love us before and after its just that at times when we feel of the lowest of our value to others and God that his love is most needed, but we are most reluctant to trust God to truly love us!
NIV
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free

Then it gets a dint here and a scratch there and it starts to not look as good as it used to, then it gets a couple of more dint's and starts to loose its value, in the eyes of it’s owner

Once that happens the car goes down hill and gets worse and worse. Think of the most bashed up car you have ever seen on the road.......at one time that car was brand new.
What if someone gave you a car and said, this is the only one you will ever get, I wonder if we would look after it better?
We know how it goes.......the car gets a dint here and a scratch there and it starts to not look as good as it used to, then it gets a couple of more dint's and starts to loose its value, but before it loses its value in the market it has to lose its value in the eyes of it’s owner, otherwise the owner would just make the repairs necessary to get it back to new
Think of the most bashed up car you have ever seen on the road, at one time that car was brand new. What happens is that as life gets on and the car gets a dint here and a scratch there it loose it’s value in the eyes of the owner and they lose hope that its ever going to look good again so they let it run down
I don't know what is happening, someone hates my car but guess whose responsibility it is to look after it
WHAT’S YOUR VALUE?
a lot of time you can tell the value somebody has for something by the way they look after it
If someone said to us here is a car and it is the only car you will ever get, I wonder if we would look after it better?
Of course there are one off accidents and write offs but generally when a car looses v
VALUE
Or
The Enemy uses every opportunity to convince us we have no value. But its not until we agree with him that he can start to steal kill and destroy.
The Enemy uses every opportunity to convince us we have no value. But its not until we agree with him that he can start to steal kill and destroy.
It could be that they never though the car had any worth in the first place so they didn't look after it properly
Value in in this world is a upside down. We value what is worthless and give no value to the precious
Either way, the responsibility of the way that car looks comes back to the owner of the car
The Enemy uses every opportunity to convince us we have no value. But its not until we agree with him that he can start to steal kill and destroy.
Jesus wants to use every opportunity to show us how much we are worth to him. But its not until we agree with him that we can have life!

Promises are Gods way of cementing ourselves in him during hard times long enough for the breakthrough to come. God knows the Devil comes during these times and God is counting on us to believe him over the Enemy!

The Enemy is always painting a picture of how things are, if we see things his way you will follow his lead
God is always wanting to be the one who paints the picture
The Enemy wants you to feel like you have failed before you have. That its too late, not worth it
Only you can manage this area. God will present the truth but you have to believe it

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

ARE YOU WORTH IT WHEN YOU FEEL DEVALUED?
ARE YOU WORTH IT WHEN YOU FEEL DEVALUED?
Why is it in life that when we go through things of a negative, tragic or traumatizing nature that we can come away feeling of lessor value? To use an extreme and terrible example when ever a child is mistreated they nearly always grow up feeling, guilt and shame for things that they had no control over

NLT. 6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. 9 And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation

5 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace[a] with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

This is whay Jesus speaks so much about whats to come because he doesn't want us to be controlled by
We have immense value in Christ. Only you can allow yourself to be devalued.
I want to start by asking a question
ARE YOU WORTH IT?
ARE YOU WORTH IT?
To use an extreme and terrible example when ever a child is mistreated they nearly always grow up feeling, guilt and shame for things that they had no control over
when things happen to us that aren't even our doing we take in on board and it can make us feel
Or what about when somebody says something about us we remember it for a life time but don't remember as clearly all the good things that happen and are said in our lives
Out of the same family you can have children that go through the same experiences both Good and bad and one can go onto blessing and one can go onto ruin?
Why is it that out of the same family you can have children that go through the same experiences both Good and bad and one can go onto blessing and one can go onto ruin?
Why is that?
Who will fight for you if you wont?
who can fight for you if you want
Even a child whose parents do fight and protect cant make a child make a child
Since Christmas my car has had,
A cracked windscreen, now since replaced
In the same day we, put the wrong fuel put in the car and Hit a Roo
No body can devalue you unless you agree with them.

Then, someone or thing Smashed the review mirror, which lead us backing into something and putting a big hole in the rear guard
Hit a Roo
We can’t get your value from what somebody else says or thinks.
Smashed the review mirror, which lead to a running into something and putting a big hole in the rear guard
which lead to a running into something and putting a big hole in the rear guard
Now who’s responsibility is it to ensure it gets fixed and that
Or
It could be that they never though the car had any worth in the first place so they didn't look after it properly
Either way, the responsibility of the way that car looks comes back to the owner of the car
Who knows that we are worth way more than a silly car!
Who knows that God sees our worth as way more than a car, but unless we value our lives
Self worth

NLT. 8 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power[a] of the life-giving Spirit has freed you[b] from the power of sin that leads to death. 3 The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature.[c] So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. 4 He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.

SPARE NOTES
otherwise the owner would just make the repairs necessary to get it back to new
a lot of time you can tell the value somebody has for something by the way they look after it
it loose it’s value in the eyes of the owner and they lose hope that its ever going to look good again so they let it run down
Or
It could be that they never though the car had any worth in the first place so they didn't look after it properly
