Finding Freedom From Our Past - Lessons from Rahab

Great Faith

Like Rahab we’ve all done things we’re not proud of.

5 Ways We Can Overcome Our Past

1. Repent - (Manasseh) 2Chron 33, Matt 1:10, prodigal son, Godly sorrow vs worldly sorrow 2 Cor 7:10

1.  Own up to your mistakes, let go of the denial

1. Don’t develop a “Jonah spirit”! Wrap your mind around “why he would forgive someone like you” – because he loves you!

1. Don’t squander your talents the Lord has given you

1. Whatever you’re going through is manageable and it’s temporary. Rom 8:18 - He knew he had something to look forward to. In order to focus on what was to come
   

Phil 1:21

1Cor 6:9-11

3:30PM MPR 4 Speaker 

Emily Hatfield closes out the ladies session for the Equipped workshop. 

Notes:

Words To Live Or Die By

• Prov 18:20

• Has what came out of your mouth ever made you feel good? Have you ever had to “get something off your chest”?

• How does someone’s spirit usually get crushed? Usually by something that is said.

• Have you ever been listening to someone but formulating a comeback/defense before they’ve even finished speaking?

• GOSSIP - it tastes good and feels good and women struggle with this

• “Ruin” - terror, breaking down, destruction. You can do all the righteous things you want but if you can’t control your tongue you are in for spiritual ruin.

• You can mouth off enough to get smacked. Social media is the new boxing ring!

• Ladies tend to have lots of feelings - don’t let them run away with your mouth!

• Rash words

• Think and pray before you speak.

• The other “thief on the cross” - Don’t tear each other down

• Examples are Saphira and her lie, Rebecca also lied

• Prejudiced words

• Zaresh (Haman’s wife)

• The spies who come back and say we can’t and don’t trust God’s words

• Michael (David’s wife)

• Anger/explosive words are examples of exasperated words

• Num 14 - after the fact/missed opportunities

Team LIfe

• John 1:1-11

• The Word has given us life

• If we want life we will seek/pursue peace. Peace can be made or broken by our words

• “The James Test” 3:17-18 - Do you words bless the one you are speaking to

• Apologizing when you weren’t wrong ISN’T wrong

• Matt 12: 36-37
