So Jimmy's last week of church before he left for China for 2 months was last week, and although John's first night of speaking was last night...I am going to post my notes from Jimmy...
October 18, 2006 Church
-Heaven: OT Hebrew meant
sky-universe-atmosphere
-“Kingdom of Heaven”-Matthew used
heaven in place of God...
-Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on
earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and
steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Heaven
is the kingdom of God. “You will be done on earth as it is in
Heaven”. Our planet has been infected by sin, this planet is
quarantined, sin has destroyed this planet... -We have problems,
but Jesus did not leave us!
-There is no 'dark', it is just an
absence of light...'sin is the absence of love, His love...'
-The kingdom of God can be in our
hearts.
-Those who are attached to the things
of this world are missing it, this is not our home!
-Heaven is where God rules, there is
love, there are people who want to do the will of our Father,
patience...it is His kingdom.
-He wants us to see things others can
not see.
-We have lost the ability to see.
(Adam/Eve, until the fall were naked and were not ashamed, maybe
because they were glowing...When Moses went to the mountain he came
back glowing, Jesus came back glowing!)
-Matthew
6:22-23 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye
is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is
bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light
that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”
-We have grown accustomed to darkness
on this planet, we have lost our moral center...
-'Put your eyes, put your mind on
things of My kingdom...”
J
e s u s is the L i g h t of
this world!
-No one can serve two masters, You
cannot serve God and the material items of this world.-Churches try
to come up with a way to serve both, but it cannot be done!! It does
not represent what Jesus came to show us. Too many places are losing
the truth.
-Matthew 6:25-26 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about
your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your
body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body
more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither
sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not of more value than they?”
-Why worry? He will take care of us!
-“I will put my kingdom inside of
your heart, my will will be done”
-He has already paid the price, He
has redeemed us!
-Narrow is the road to life and only
few who find it
-Allow Him to clean you, allow Him into
your heart.
