Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God ....

The principle of honor is a foundational concept in the bible, deeply rooted in the character of God and His expectations for human relationships. 

Honor  involves a profound respect and reverence for God, authority figures, and fellow human beings and is an essential virtue that reflects the moral and ethical standards set forth by God for his people.

Although this is subject much too large to tackle in a single message, in this teaching Pastor Art manages to lead us into a deeper understanding of how honor inter-connects with order and appreciation

 LUKE 6:38  give, and it will be given to you. a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. for with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

For believers, faith can be defined as a quiet steady continuing trust in God’s faithfulness because the fruit of faith does not panic, does not get flustered, does not lose the victory and doesn't consider turning back or giving up. Faith is a quiet steady unruffled continuing abiding trust in God

Therefore, Its not about how much faith you have, it's about how much faith you have in God because true faith has to do with how reliable and trustworthy we believe God is. This is also related to giving, giving of time, service and finances

Some of you are facing obstacles and roadblocks in your plans because you lack in the area of giving. You don't really believe its more blessed to give, so you hold onto your money, wrongly believing that the more of your money you keep, the better off you'll be but Jesus said something different  

Lets get into this Word

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

If you choose to live a godly life, you will, not may, you will suffer persecution.Persecution is this, to be hunted down like a dog, to be pursued. And Paul said you'll suffer that. And the idea is, Are you going to quit God because he's telling you the truth ahead of time, even before you start? 

The truth is once you start following Christ, it's a good life. But there's opposition and you're going to need to know how to fight the good fight and endure

The only knowledge required for believers is the knowledge of God in Christ and Christ in us. Having a zeal for God and mis-directing it to the wrong things, is fruitless and in fact will not bear any fruit. Without a knowledge of God in Christ, over time because of fruitlessness, eventually the zeal will turn to routine, tradition and empty religious exercise and rituals

A challenge of discipleship is

Pressing toward the mark for the prize

Pressing past the routine

Pressing past religion and tradition

When our zeal is according to the knowledge of salvation in Christ, it will not only continue to burn, but it will burn brighter with the passing of time

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.

Pastor Bobby's concern in this message is that he believes that so many people are stuck in the valley of decision about whether God truly has forgiven them, and how they struggle with that, and are in need of a victory.

In this message Pastor Bobby is teaching that if something is in the way of preventing you from getting where God has called you to go, you need a victory and what that victory is, is the removing of obstacles so you can move forward to that place that God has called you. 

Unfortunately many people are stuck and they don't have the victory concerning the forgiveness of sin and it holds them back in their lives, Hopefully through this message, God will open their eyes to see the truth of His forgiveness

1 Corinthians 15:22 
 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 

A principle is a fundamental truth, law, guideline, or moral rule that helps shape how you think, act, or how something works

Looking at this verse, God is saying that to be in Adam means, to be represented by Adam and to be in Christ means to be represented by Christ, therefore all who are born into the world are born into Adam and as such, you are "Identified" with Adam and by the same measure, all those who are Born Again, from heaven, by the Spirit of God, are in Christ.

Therefore we see that God only regards two men, the first man Adam and the second man Christ. This is the principle of representation and it is inescapable and baked into Creation by God.

Thanks for joining in with us as we take a dive into the subject of Our Identification With Christ

Matthew 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

In the bible, doubt is first introduced by Satan in the Garden of Eden to make Adam and Eve question God's word, but doubt also arises from inside the human heart, through fear, hard life trials, and a lack of complete trust.

Genesis 3:1 …“did god really say, ‘you must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

So we see doubt can come from the influences of satan and spiritual warfare  but it can also come from within our hearts and  The bible shows that believers can easily lose focus when looking at circumstances rather than God. 

When we find ourselves in doubt and unbelief, let's be honest in asking ourselves why and then through prayer and reflection, Jesus will show us a way of escape from the snare and trap of doubt.

Genesis 2:6 …in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

We're facing the same choices everyday, our way or God's way, to be led by The Spirit or led by the flesh, Not only do we face these choices everyday but we also face these choices, throughout our day, all day, everyday. What's more these choices determine the course of our lives and those within our families and circles of influence

Matthew 20:1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius a for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

Hebrews 3:1 “Jesus is the high priest of our confession.”

It is through our confession that we demonstrate if we are testing God or Trusting God. Confess or confession means to say the same as and for us as believers in the bible, confession means that we say the same with our mouths as God has already said in His word. We make the words of our mouth agree with the Word of God and in that way we line ourselves up to receive the full authority that Jesus has given us.

Because Jesus is the high priest of our confession so if you have no confession, Jesus cannot act as our high priest because He’s only our high priest in respect of what we confess, first and foremost, confessing Him as Lord. 

In other words, whenever we confess with our mouths what the bible says about us as believers, we have Jesus as our high priest in heaven releasing His authority and blessing upon us. But if we remain silent, and have no confession we're losing out on our access to His ministry as high priest. Even moreso, if we make the wrong confession we do even worse, because it is then we invite negative forces to surround us and move upon us, and through the wrong confession we give the enemy a foothold into our lives

We pray you are blessed by this week's message
