As we learned in the message that we who are saved have been “repossessed” by God, how should we behave as a result? In the world there is much confusion because of the sons of disobedience who seek to do whatever they wish being led by the flesh, the world’s philosophies and the devil who is promoting all the anti-christian actions in life. Today let us take this discussion further as we consider as being “the saved” what it really means to be “Walking Life Within The Spirit Of A Child”
Old Testament Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 1:4 – 10 (KJV)
Jer 1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Jer 1:6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
Jer 1:7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Jer 1:8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Jer 1:9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Jer 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
New Testament Scripture Reading: Matthew 19:13 – 15 (KJV)
Mat 19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) Just as we of necessity had to be born as a child to exist, we must be born again of the Spirit of God in order to be “born again” into the actual family of God by faith in the sacrifice of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus!
2) We must realize that when we are born again, that we must learn everything as a child of the Most-High God from His Son Jesus who executed everything His Father desired in order to provide all believers of His Gospel with everything the need to do the things that God has destined you to do.
3) Learning to practice “Walking Life Within The Spirit Of A Child” is the challenge that every saved person should do in order to have the kind of “Child-like” spirit toward the things of God, which was modeled perfectly by Jesus the Only perfectly obedient Child, Who is the “Prince of Peace” Who alone was obedient to God His Father Who also completed every requirement needed for us to be acceptable to His Father, who is OUR FATHER!!
