“ LOVING GOD “

GET FREE, AND GET BOLD!

The life of the believer is a wonderful experience!  God intends for our lives to be joy-filled and a glorious life.

Psalm 138:1-3

“I will praise You with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing

praises to You.  I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name.  In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.”

Proverbs 28:1

“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold

as a lion.”

Hebrews 12:12

“Therefore, strengthen [lift up] the hands which hang down,

and feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.”

DECLARATION:

I agree with Jesus

…He says

…whom the Son sets free is free indeed

…Jesus has set me free therefore I am free indeed!…the evil one is bound from my life

…the greater one lives in me

…I now bind any evil spirit that has assignment against me…and I declare my liberty today in Christ Jesus!

TRUTH:

If there is one thing Jesus desires in His disciples it is boldness.

* To be a light in the darkness is a BOLD CONDITION !

* To be a witness of Him is a BOLD EXHIBITION!

* To lay hands on the sick is a BOLD ACT OF FAITH!

* To unashamedly praise God with all your might is a BOLD ACT OF WORSHIP!

* Just to follow Jesus [truly follow Him] is a very BOLD LIFESTYLE!

BOLDNESS DEFINED:

the willingness to step out with no thought for oneself

and with no fear of man’s disapproval.

TRUTH:

Understand your enemy and prevail over him! Know that he attempts to keep each of us from God’s best!

* The release of joy [and strength] that comes through praising God!

* The fruitfulness that comes through sharing the love of Jesus

Philippians 1:19-20

“For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through

your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to the earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

Hebrews 12:12

“Therefore, strengthen [lift up] the hands which hang down,

and feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.”

" A Christian Life is…A Freedom-filled Life "

Romans 8:1-2 NIV

1] Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

2] because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

- We are free because we’re forgiven.

- We are free to say “no” to legalism.

- We are free to say “yes” to freedom.

- We are free from abusive emotions and anxiety.

- We are free to do what we want to do.

What is legalism?

“Keeping rules for rules’ sake.”

- Seeking justification by observing the law.

Mga Taga-Roma 10:2-3

[2]Sapagkat saksi akong sila'y nagsisikap na maging kalugud-lugod sa Diyos. Mali nga lamang ang kanilang naging batayan.

[3]Dahil hindi nila kinilala ang katuwirang mula sa Diyos, at nagsisikap silang gumamit ng sarili nilang pamamaraan; hindi sila sumunod sa pamamaraang itinakda ng Diyos.

Mga Taga-Galacia 3:1-3

[1]Mga hangal kayong mga taga-Galacia! Sino ang nakagayuma sa inyo? Maliwanag na ipinahayag na sa inyo kung paano namatay si Jesu-Cristo sa krus!

[2]Sabihin nga ninyo, tinanggap ba ninyo ang Espiritu sa pamamagitan ng mga gawa ayon sa Kautusan o sa pamamagitan ng inyong pananalig sa inyong narinig tungkol kay Cristo?

[3]Talagang napakahangal ninyo! Nagsimula na kayo sa Espiritu, at ngayo'y nais pa ninyong magtapos sa pamamagitan ng inyong sariling lakas!

Mga Taga-Galacia 2:11-14

[11]Nang si Pedro ay nasa Antioquia, harapan kong sinabi sa kanya na mali ang kanyang ginagawa,

[12]dahil bago dumating ang ilang sugo ni Santiago, siya'y nakikisalo sa mga Hentil. Subalit nang dumating na ang mga iyon, lumayo na siya at hindi na nakisalo sa mga Hentil dahil sa takot niya sa pangkat ng mga Judio na nagbibigay diin sa pagtutuli.

[13]At gumaya naman sa kanya ang ibang mga kapatid doon na mga Judio; pati si Bernabe ay natangay ng kanilang pagkukunwari.

[14]Nang makita kong ang kanilang ikinikilos ay hindi ayon sa tunay na diwa ng Magandang Balita, sinabi ko kay Pedro sa harap nilang lahat, “Kung ikaw na isang Judio ay namumuhay na parang Hentil at di bilang Judio, bakit mo ngayon pinipilit ang mga Hentil na mamuhay gaya ng mga Judio?”

2 Pedro 3:11-14

[11]At dahil ganito ang magiging wakas ng lahat ng bagay, mamuhay kayo nang may kabanalan at sikapin ninyong maging maka-Diyos

[12]habang hinihintay ninyo ang Araw ng Diyos. Magsikap kayong mabuti upang madaling dumating ang araw na ang kalangitan ay matutupok at ang mga bagay na naroroon ay matutunaw sa matinding init.

[13]Naghihintay tayo ng bagong langit at ng bagong lupa na paghaharian ng katuwiran, sapagkat ganoon ang kanyang pangako.

[14]Kaya nga, mga minamahal, habang naghihintay kayo, sikapin ninyong mamuhay nang mapayapa, walang dungis at walang kapintasan.

Mga Taga-Roma 6:18-23

[18]Pinalaya na kayo sa kasalanan at kayo ngayon ay mga alipin na ng katuwiran.

[19]Gumagamit ako ng karaniwang pangungusap dahil sa inyong likas na kahinaan. Kung paanong ipinailalim ninyo noong una ang inyong sarili sa karumihan at sa kasamaang palala nang palala, ilaan ninyo ngayon ang inyong sarili bilang alipin ng katuwiran para sa mga banal na layunin.

[20]Noong alipin pa kayo ng kasalanan, hindi kayo saklaw ng katuwiran.

[21]Ano ang napala ninyo sa mga bagay na iyon na ikinahihiya ninyo ngayon? Kamatayan ang ibinubunga ng mga iyon.

[22]Ngunit ngayong pinalaya na kayo mula sa kasalanan at naging alipin na ng Diyos, ang natamo ninyo'y isang buhay na banal at ang ibinubunga nito'y buhay na walang hanggan.

[23]Sapagkat kamatayan ang kabayaran ng kasalanan, ngunit ang libreng kaloob ng Diyos ay buhay na walang hanggan, sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.

"Ang PAGPAPALAYA"

Upang mabigyan tayo ng ganap na kaalaman sa pagpapalaya at ang pangangailangang lumaya mula sa iba’t-ibang uri ng pagkaka-alipin na maaring mangyari sa buhay ng bagong mananampalataya na hindi pa napapalaya sa pagkaalipin.

Isaiah 61:1

“Pinuspos ako ni Yahweh ng Kanyang Espiritu. Hinirang Niya ako upang ang magandang balita’y dalhin sa mahihirap, pagalingin ang sugat ng puso, palayain ang mga bihag at bilanggo.”

(ANG KALAGAYAN NG ISANG MAKASALANAN)

(Pagkahiwalay sa Diyos.)

(Genesis 3:23-24)

23] “Kaya, pinalayas sa halamanan ng Eden ang tao upang magbungkal ng lupang kanyang pinagmulan.

24] Pinalayas nga siya ng Diyos, at sa dakong silangan ng halamanan ng Eden ay naglagay siya ng bantay na kerubin. Naglagay rin siya ng espadang nagniningas upang hindi malapitan ninuman ang punong-kahoy ng buhay.”

Romans 6:23

“Sapagkat kamatayan ang kabayaran ng kasalanan…”

(Ang buhay ay salat sa walang hanggang kahalagahan.)

1 Pedro 1:14

Bilang masunuring mga anak, huwag kayong umayon sa masasamang pagnanasa tulad ng ginagawa ninyo noong kayo'y wala pang tunay na pagkaunawa.

1 Pedro 1:15

Dahil ang Diyos na pumili sa inyo ay banal, dapat din kayong magpakabanal sa lahat ng inyong ginagawa,

1 Pedro 1:16

sapagkat nasusulat, “Magpakabanal kayo, sapagkat ako'y banal.”

1 Pedro 1:17

Walang itinatangi ang Diyos. Pinapahalagahan niya ang bawat isa ayon sa mga ginawa nito. At dahil tinatawag ninyo siyang Ama, igalang ninyo siya habang kayo'y nabubuhay.

1 Pedro 1:18

Alam ninyo kung ano ang ipinantubos sa inyo sa walang kabuluhang pamumuhay na inyong minana sa inyong mga magulang. Ang ipinantubos sa inyo'y hindi ang mga bagay na nasisira o nauubos, tulad ng ginto o pilak,

1 Pedro 1:19

kundi sa pamamagitan ng mahalagang dugo ni Cristo. Siya ang korderong walang batik at kapintasan.

(Ang ating buhay at gawa ay nasira.)

Galacia 5:19-21

19] “Hindi maikakaila ang mga gawa ng laman: pangangalunya, karima-rimarim na pamumuhay, kahalayan, [20] pagsamba sa diyus-diyusan, pangkukulam, pagkapoot, pagkagalit, paninibugho, kasakiman, pagkakabaha-bahagi, pagkakampi-kampi,

21] pagkainggit, paglalasing, walang taros na pagsasaya, at iba pang tulad nito. Binabalaan ko kayo tulad noong una: hindi tatanggapin sa kaharian ng Diyos ang gumagawa ng gayong mga bagay.”

(Pagkaalipin sa lahat ng uri ng mga gapos.)

Juan 8:34

“Sumagot si Jesus, “Tandaan ninyo: alipin ng kasalanan ang lahat ng nagkakasala.”

Roma 6:16

“Alam ninyong kapag kayo’y napailalim kaninuman bilang alipin, alipin nga kayo ng inyong pinapanginoon – mga alipin ng kasalanan at ang bunga nito’y kamatayan, o mga alipin ng Diyos at ang bunga nito’y pagpapawalang-sala.”
