The Catalyst Community

Other than service man was created in direct communion with God because that’s the structure we see in Genesis.

Mankind was made to also function in reliance on his creator. At the basic level, mankind was made to be in perfect communion with God. You can call Eden a perfect picture of God’s idea for mankind.

The connection to God, the service, and the worship of God. Not just that but also in obedience to God.

The sole purpose of the created man is to serve God and do the will of God. It’s obedience and consecration to God. This was never a struggle for man, it was an effortless activity.

Continuation of part 1

As you grow in God you have to grow in love as well.

2 Timothy 1:5-6 NKJV

[5] when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. [6] Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

Paul is telling Timothy to stir up the gifts. Which means there is something we can do to make it active and effective.

There is an age where every believer would have the spirit and every believer would prophesy as Moses wished and Joel prophecied. This is that generation. The gifts of the spirit are available to all.

Charisma is a Greek word that means divine gifting or graces. And throughout this month we are going to be discussing the subject of spiritual gifts in-depth and knowing all that God has put inside of us by his spirit.

Earnest means going overboard to assure the other person and eradicating any doubt on your willingness to keep up your end.

God did that by giving you the spirit to also ensure there is no doubt in your heart about your salvation.

By the spirit, Jesus would purge his floor leaving the good ones. This is the Job of the governor in a new land.

When a country colonizes another country, they establish governors. Whose Job is to enact the culture of the home culture in the new place.

The Holy Ghost changes your desires and makes your desires similar to the hometown separating you. That is sanctification.

Making you identify as a citizen of heaven. That way the chaff is separated from the wheat.

He would purge the floor. He would govern from within you. Blowing off all inconsistencies and marking you for God.

From understanding the Gospel and all I have taught you about who Christ is, there are results that should be birthed in you.

There are fruits that have to be birthed in you.

There are the fruits that should be evident. We should be able to tell that you are a believer in how you live your life.

Salvation is a miracle of a changed heart, not just a miracle of a changed heart but also a miracle of changed desires.

A man in Christ has his desires changed completely.
