Colossians 2:6-12
-Satan is a defeated foe, in chains, He has no power over us except the power we give him.
-God's grace is sufficient!
-My sin, not in part, but the whole, is nailed on the cross!
-You have to turn the table on the enemy who attacks your soul!
-You gotta learn to stand up to the enemy when he tries to haunt you!
-We are made to sit with God in heavenly places!
-We sit, walk, and run with God!
-Victory is ours!
-We were not born to be slaves to slaves, our Lord and Savior conquered death on the cross!
-It's already done, we just receive it!
1 Corinthians 13
Love Is the Greatest
1 "If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when full understanding comes, these partial things will become useless.
11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love."
John 3:16: For God so loved the world!
-There should be a change in you and your life when you become saved, are healed, restored, delivered, etc.
->Vs. 1-3 of 1 Corinthians 13--Priority of love, need for anointing of ministry
--If there is no love, it is NOTHING!
--If you have all these "experiences" with God but do not love, it is NOTHING!
->Vs. 4-7--Character
--Envy is a powerful force--rejoice in the blessings of others!
--Love never behaves unseemly, cares about others, and thinks of the atmosphere they are in before acting. (Some things are appropriate in one place but not in another, etc.)
--Love doesn't gloat over others sins and failures.
--Ask God to baptize you in love.
->Vs. 8-13--Eternity of Love
--Though things are exciting, they will pass away!
--The one thing that goes with you into eternity is love.
