Matt 16:13-20 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

14So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not [g]prevail against it. 19And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth [h]will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

20Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

II Corinthians 5:16-18 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

1.      There is more to the born again experience then just the forgiveness of your sins:

·         There is the creation of a new being born of God

I John 3:9 “Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.”

II Corinthians 5:16-19 “Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”

2.      To exercise faith, I must realize I already have been set free:

·         I have to connect with my spirit man.

Romans 7:21-25 “I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.  For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.  O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?  thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Key 2 “You have rights as a child of Gods”

 Matthew 7:11: If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts. to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! 

Matthew 7:7-8: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

5 rights that are good gifts God gives his Children:

1.    Love

2.    Joy

3.    Peace

4.    Victory

5.    Freedom

1.    Love:

Romans 8:31-39 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
 We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

37Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2.    & 3. Joy & Peace:

Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

4.    Victory:

II Corinthians 2:14 ” Now thanks be to God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the aroma of his knowledge by us in every place.”

Romans 8:37 “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”

5.    Freedom:

John 8:36 “if the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.”

I.              Key one “I must know it is God will for my life”

 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

I Corinthians 13:13: And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Faith vs. Hope

Webster:

1.    Hope: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.

Hope is when I would like God to do something but I don’t know if it is his will for my life

Ill: hope that God calls me to Florida to minister

2.    Faith: complete trust or confidence in someone or something.

Faith is when we believe in something we KNOW is the will of God

Ill: God may show me He wants me to minister in Florida some day

Teaching how to go from just reading the word but experiencing the word.

Repeat the word over again and faith will come:

Women who touch the hem of his garment said “When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” Mark 5:27-28

 II Corth 3:17: Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

John 8:36: Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Gal 5:13: You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Gal 5:1: It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Eph 3:12: In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Romans 6:22: But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

Many times we our are not as close to God as we could be or need to be due to fear. Many times people are not filled the Holy Spirit because they fear. We are afraid of what God might call us to do, or what God might ask us to give up, or how we may act if we move closer to God. We fear loosing friends or family out of our lives. What ever the reason for the fear it is still a spirit of fear and God has not given us a spirit of fear! We need this spirit of fear broken and removed from our lives, so we can move into the relationship we were created for.

Romans 15:7 “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.”

The enemy will use traumatic experiences to develop strongholds in our life.

What may be a traumatic experience to one person may not be to another.

What creates a traumatic experience in our life, that can develop into a stronghold, is how we respond to that experience.

How I respond can be contributed to many reasons, my age, gender, understanding of what happened, and past experiences.

When we have a traumatic experience that produces the feeling of rejection, that can be a very painful experience and one that is not easy to forget.

Rejection can produce mistrust, suspicion, the inability to bond with others, feelings of inadequacy and depression. The enemy will use these lies to build strongholds in your life.

This is why it is so important to know you have been accepted by God in Christ. Not that you feel accepted all the time, but that you know you are accepted.

What changes the power these strongholds have on us is the truth of the gospel, it sets us free. It does change what has happed in the past, but the truth allows us to walk in the spirit so we won’t be brought down or in bondage to the flesh.
