    I’m Ready, Series# 1, None Of These Things Move Me

    By: D. Karl Thomas

     

     

     

      

    Not this I’m Ready 

     

     

     


    This I’m Ready

    Philippians 4:13  “I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am readyfor anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].”

    Psalm 57 (NKJV) – Prayer for Safety from Enemies – To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam (a psalm as precious as stamped gold) of David when he fled from Saul into the cave.

    Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You;
    And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, Until these calamities have passed by.
    I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.
    He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who [b]would swallow me up. Selah
    God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
    My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men Who are set on fire,
    Whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
    Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
    They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down;
    They have dug a pit before me; Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

    My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.

    Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
    I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the [c]nations.
    For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds.
    Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.

    Psalm 57:7  (NKJV) “My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.”

    Psalm 57:7 (TPT) “My heart, O God, is quiet and confident. Now I can sing with passion your wonderful praises!”  

    Psalm 57:7 (KJV) “My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.”

    Psalm 57:7 (YLT) “Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise.”

     “fixed” (kûwn) :– to be firm, be stable, be established, to be ready, prepared.

    Psalm 57:7 (MSG)  “I’m ready, God, so ready, ready from head to toe. Ready to sing, ready to raise a tune:”

    Ludwig van Beethoven “I will seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.”
    Virtuoso violin by 5 … began to write music mentored by Mozart … losing hearing in his 20’s
    stone deaf by 50 … Wrote his 9th symphony … cut legs of piano and laid on the floors he could feel the music … conducted the symphony … never heard it with His ears … crowd behind him erupting

    Take it by the throat … “I’m ready!!! Bring it on!”   Take the challenge by the throat!!

    God Is For Me!!!!      Take sickness by the throat … Attack on your Family by the throat … Attack on your finances by the throat … Attack on your future by the throat. 

    DETERMINATION!!!  I’m ready … I’m fixed … I’m prepared

    Most failure comes, not from a lack of talent or opportunity, but from a lack of determination.
    Babe Ruth (Yankee Stadium “House That Ruth Built”) said, “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.”

    Galatians 6:9  And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.    DON’T QUIT!!!   DETERMINATION …MY HEART IS FIXED!!!!

    “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”   Mark Twain

    If your gonna pick a fight with me you had better bring your lunch!!!!

    Acts 20:22-24  “And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. …

    … But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

    (Message) “What matters most to me is to finish what God started: the job the Master Jesus gave me of letting everyone I meet know all about this incredibly extravagant generosity of God.”

    “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”    Oscar Wilde

    1 Corinthians 9:26 (NLT) “So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step.”

    Philippians 3:12-14 “…but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal…”

    Acts 26:19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,”

    Acts 16:19-20  (MSG) “What could I do, King Agrippa? I couldn’t just walk away from a vision like that! I became an obedient believer on the spot. I started preaching this life-change—this radical turn …

     …  to God and  everything it meant in everyday life—right there in Damascus, went on to Jerusalem and the surrounding countryside, and from there to the whole world.” 

    Colossians 1:28-29 “Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.  To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.”

    Purpose Motivates                                 

    Purpose Aligns Priorities            

    Purpose Develops Potential                

    Purpose Creates Endurance                 

    Purpose Produces Morale          

    Purpose Enables Evaluation 

    Purpose Increases Effectiveness 

    Acts 20:24  “ … But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”

    Resurrection Series# 5, The Force Of Resurrection

    By: D. Karl Thomas


    Covid -19 The virus that changed the world … Na!
    God’s purpose of redemption can not be tampered with!!!
    Hab 2:14 “Gods glory will fill all the earth!!

    The Fact Of Resurrection

    Romans 4:25  “Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins and was raised back to life to prove that he had made us right with God!”   He is risen I’m Righteous!!!

    The Face Of Resurrection

    John 20:15-16   “Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’ …

    Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!'”   The Resurrection is personal … Looking for family redeemed community

    The Focus Of Resurrection

    1 Peter 1:3-5 “…has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you…”     changes your approach to everything … 1.  From religion to relationship

    2. From surviving to thriving  LIFE NOW   3. From the temporal to the eternal

    The Friday Of Resurrection

    2 Corinthians 5:21 “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God”  

    Sin din’t kill Jesus … it couldn’t He gave up His spirit to father … His redeeming blood flowed over His sin wrecked body and redeemed man from sin once and for all.

    Colossians 1:20-22  “…having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight…”

    Precious Blood  1 Peter 1:18-19 “…but with the precious blood of Christ, …without blemish and without spot.”  Blood of God  Acts 20:28 “…church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” 

    Romans 6:18  “And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.”

    The Force Of Resurrection

    My favourite Book — My Favourite Chapter — My Favourite Verses 

    Romans 8:31-39  NLT    “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?   

    What wonderful things?  eight chapters full of GOOD NEWS!!!!

    Romans 1:16-17  “Gospel … righteousness from God … Just shall live by faith!”

    Romans 3:23-24 “…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,…” 

    Romans 5:17  “For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”

    What is our response to all this wonderful news “If God is for us who can be against us?”  RHETORICAL — You don’t have to answer that … Honey how does may new orange hair look 

    32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?

    Argument from greater to the lesser.

     

     

     

     

     

    33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself.

    34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 

    I’m not remembering what God did for me … He is alive declaring what He has done for me and enforcing every blessing that is mine through a living victorious savior!!!

    35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?

    36 As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”

    37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

    This word is used only once in Scripture.       hoop airrrr ni  kah ō

    hypernikaō :– overwhelming victory, super conquerors, to vanquish beyond.

    38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,… 

    neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love

    39  No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us ...

    … from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

    John 11:25-26  Message “You don’t have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live. And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. Do you believe this?”

    The Force Of Resurrection ——  GOD IS FOR US!!!!!
