Rationally minded = DEATH

Spiritually minded = LIFE & PEACE

We must intentionally set our minds on the things of God. What we focus on, what we set our minds on will be how we live. If we set our minds on the things of the flesh, it will be lead by the flesh. If we set our minds on the things of the spirit, it will be in obedience to live by the spirit. Rational knowledge alone is not going to cut it for the time that we are coming into. We need revelation knowledge from heaven more than rational knowledge.

6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. Romans 8:6-7 NKJV

Who is Jesus to you? In your heart? What has God spoken to YOU?

Knowing & hearing God for yourself is “Personal Revelation Knowledge.” Not based on what your parents say, what your spouse says, what your church says – that’s called rational knowledge.

The Church needs to be careful to not be lead by rational, intellectual knowledge – what others say.

It is more important than ever for us to be built up in Jesus, and hearing from God.

V 13 & 14 – Rational/Natural Knowledge

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?”

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

V 15 & 16 – Personal Revelation Knowledge

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

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

 

Matthew 16:13-16

GET READY!

WE NEED OIL!

We must discipline our lives in this hour. We have to make sure our vessels are full of oil and sustain the oil to sustain the flame, which means we must be full of His presence and devoted to Him.

HE’S COMING!

WALK IN HIM!

We cannot be deceived in this hour into thinking and believing that we don’t need the oil in our vessels. It’s the lie that keeps us comfortable and compromised with persuasive words.

GOD’S WORD IS TRUTH!

IT ESTABLISHES US!

We must be rooted & built up in Him!

 

Matthew 24, Matthew 25, Colossians 2:4–10

How are we building with Jesus as He builds His Church?

Jesus is our foundation, and we don’t ever stop building on Him.

Every single one of us is either planting and water every day FOR God or NOT for God.

Eternity is coming, and when we stand before Jesus, when the fire comes, will what we built endure? For each Christian there will be rewards based on our own individual labor. There is an individual accountability in the Kingdom of Heaven. Are you participating in the same activities as God, or are you participating in your own activities, hoping God will bless them?

Church – Jesus said, “I will build my Church.” And we, as the ekklesia, are on assignment.

ENGAGE the CULTURE of the world & STAND OUT, changing the culture to match the culture of JESUS, the Kingdom of Heaven.

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

17 Jesus 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. 18 And 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 prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Matthew 16:13 – 19
