Thanks for listening as Pastor Jeremy shares Wednesday in Glendive.
Diet - the kinds of food that a person habitually
eats.
Gen 2:15 Then the Lord God took the man and
put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep
it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man,
saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may
freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that
you eat of it you shall surely die.”
1. Gal 5:22 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control.
Against such there is no law.
2. Rom 8:5 For those who live according to the
flesh set their minds on the things of the
flesh, but those who live according to the
Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be
carnally minded is death, but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace.
3. James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding
among you? Let him show by good conduct
that his works are done in the meekness of
wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and
self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast
and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom
does not descend from above, but is
earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where
envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and
every evil thing are there. 17 But the
wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full
of mercy and good fruits, without partiality
and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of
righteousness is sown in peace by those
who make peace.
a. Wisdom that descends from above
produces peace, gentleness,
submission, mercy...
b. Wisdom that ascends from below
produces bitterness, envy, confusion,
and every evil thing
4. Col 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ,
seek those things which are above, where
Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2
Set your mind on things above, not on
things on the earth.
Gen 3:6-11
1. They were deceived. They changed their
diet. They started consuming wisdom that
ascended from below rather than
descended from above.
2. What fruit did they eat? Shame, guilt,
separation, confusion, condemnation and
death
3. Some fruit will cause you to grow in your
relationship with God and some fruit will
cause your relationship with God to decay.
Choose life, feed your spirit, resist your flesh and
run thoughts contrary to the Word of God out of
your mind.
