SF - Willard - 1

PRELUDE

TO BE LIKE CHRIST IN OUT TIME I NEED TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND HOW IT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED, OF THE INSTRUMENTS FOR THE REALIZATION OF THAT LIFE AND THE ORDER OF THEIR USE

SF IS AN ORDERLY PROCESS

MAT 11,28-30

WHAT JESUS IS CALLING ME

STEP INTO THE YOKE OF TRAINING WITH HIM

WAY OF GENTLENESS AND LOWLINESS

WAY OF SOUL REST

LIFE THAT IS EASY AND LIGHT

+ JOHN 4,14

SPRING OF WATER INSIDE OF ME GUSHIN TO ETERNAL LIFE

LOVE SPRINGING OUT OF ME

THE WAY IN DIVINE WORLD IS THE WAY OF PERVASIVE INNER TRANSFORMATION

FAITHFULNESS IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED IN THE PROCESS OF SF IN CHRISTLIKENESS, FAITHFULNESS TO WHAT IS EXPOSED IN SCRIPTURE AND IN THE LIVES OF HIS PEOPLE THROUGH THE AGES.

INTRO

HEART

OR SPIRIT/WILL

WE LIVE FROM IT

THE DEEPEST PART OF US

MOST OF WHICH DEPTHS DON'T EVEN KNOW

IT HAS BEEN FORMED

BY EXPERIENCES AND CHOICES

FROM THERE WE SEE OUR WORLD AND INTEREPRET REALITY

OUR LIFE IS THE RESULT OF WHAT WE HAVE BECOME IN THE DEPTHS OF OUR BEING

RENOVATION OF HEART

GREATEST NEED BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN FORMED BY THE WORLD AWAY FROM GOD

JESUS REVOLUTION

MT 28:18-20

PERPETUAL WORLD REVOLUTION

REVOLUTION OF CHARACTER

1. CHANGE PPL FROM INSIDE

2. THROUGH ONGOING PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN CHRIST

3. AND TO ONE ANOTHER

IT CHANGES PEOPLE TO THE DEEPEST PART OF THEIR SOUL

STREAMS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS CANNOT FLOW THROUGH CORRUPTED SOULS

HUMAN WITHIN

ARENA OF SF

WITHIN ARE OUR THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, INTENTIONS AND ELSE WHAT WE DON'T KNOW

COMPLEX AND SUBTLE

ONLY GOD KNOWS IT

PS 139 - SEARCH ME

ONCE IT IS FORMED I AM AT ITS MERCY

ONLY GOD CAN SAVE ME

PROFOUND TRANSFORMATION THERE IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN CONQUER EVIL

SPIRITUAL

NOT AUTOMATICALLY GOOD

JESUS WALK IS A WALK AT THE INTERIOR LEVEL

HE SAVES US BY REALISTIC RESTORATION OF OUR HEART TO GOD AND THEN BY DWELLING THERE WITH HIS FATHER THROUGH DISTINCTIVELY DIVINE SPIRIT.

JESUS MOVES THROUGH THESE DEPTHS TO BRING US HOME TO GOD

SF

IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH THE HUMAN SPIRIT OR WILL IS GIVEN A DEFINITE FORM OR CHARACTER

XAN SF

SPIRIT DRIVEN PROCES OF FORMING THE INNER WORLD OF THE HUMAN SELF IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT BECOMES LIKE THE INNER BEING OF CHIRST HIMSELF

FOCUSED ENTIRELY ON JESUS

OBEDIENCE IS THE ESSENTIAL OUTCOME

EXTERNAL MANIFESTATION IS NOT THE FOCUS

DEAD END

GAL 4,19 - THAT CHRIST BE FORMED IN YOU

WATCHWORD

NO PASSIVE PROCESS

CHRISTLIKENESS OF THE INNER BEING IS A GIFT OF GRACE

RESOURCES EXTEND HUMAN

INTERACTIVE PRESENCE OF THE SPIRIT

SPIRITUAL TREASURES OVER THE AGES

IS THE WAY OF REST, EASY YOKE, LIGHT BURDEN, CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE CUP, GOOD TREE

IS TEACHING TO DO ALL THINGS THAT I HAVE COMMANDED YOU

NOT A MYSTEROUS, IRRATIONAL, HYSTERICAL PROCESS

SPIRIT, INNER BEING AND THE PROCESS OF RENOVATION IN CHRIST IS AN ORDERLY REALM

THERE IS A METHODICAL PATH OF RECOVERY

BECOME

THOROUGHLY GOOD AND GODLY PERSONS, PURGED OF ARROGANCE, INSENSITIVITY AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

CHHURCHES WILL BECOME SCHOOLS OF LIFE

CHILDREN OF LIGHT & WORLD

GOAL OF HISTORY

COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE, FROM EVERY NATION AND TRIBE AND TONGUE AND PEOPLE, WHO WIL BE A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS UNDER GOD, AND WHO WILL FOR A PERIOD GOVERN THE EARTH UNDER HIM. THEY WILL REIGN WITH HIM IN THE ETERNAL FUTURE OF THE COSMOS, FOREVER AND EVER.

ALL THESE COME FROM A SICK AND REBELLIOUS HEART

TRANSFORMATION

THE WAY TO A LIFE FILLED AND FRUITFUL WITH GOODNESS IS THE TRANSFORMATION OF EVERY DIMENSION OF THE INNER OR SPIRITUAL SIDE OF THE SELF

NO WAY TO BYPASS THAT FOR A REAL TRANSFORMATION

EACH INNER DIMENSION OF THE HUMAN SELF MUST BE ESTABLISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND RECEIVE GRACE

2. THANKFUL TO BE FOUND OUT AND CORRECTED

JUST FIED BY GRACE HAS PENETREATRED DEEP INTO THEIR BEING

3. DO NOT FEEL THEY ARE MISSING SOMETHING GOOD BY NOT SINNING

NOT DISAPPINTED OR DEPRIVED, DON'T FRET BECAUSE EVILDOERS PROSPER
