Title: Encarnacao Alliance


1
Encarnacao Alliance
  • What beliefs motivate your ministry?

2
What beliefs motivate your ministry?
  • Searching for significance in our ministry for God

3
A new creature in Christ?
  • God has assured us that He loves us and has
    called us into His kingdom as His sons, friends
    and servants.
  • Our worth/value is based on what His word says
    about our new relationship with Him, not on our
    performance.
  • We are members of His family and valued, chosen
    and esteemed by Him.

4
Why do you seek the approval of men?
  • Separated from God and His Word, people only have
    their abilities and opinions of others on which
    to base their worth
  • People who dont know God compare themselves with
    others to decide on their worth/value in our
    society

5
Self-worth Performance the opinions of others
  • When we hold this view of our worth we are driven
    by performance to gain acceptance. This is
    Satans trap!
  • Gods plan is for each of His children to bear
    His image and they are accepted in His family by
    the mark of His image, Christ indwelling in us!

6
The contrast of the two value systems!
  • Satans value system slavery to the performance
    for acceptance trap. This concept creates the I
    have to mentality for acceptance/value and
    worth.
  • Gods value system Christ has set us free. Even
    if no one else accepts you, He loves and accepts
    you. Christ is the source of our security. Even
    when we fail He accepts us. Christ in us is the
    basis of our worth. Being is more important than
    doing.

7
The Old Testament stories teach us about these
two value systems..
  • Cain
  • Esau
  • Joseph
  • Joshua and Caleb
  • King David
  • Abel
  • Jacob
  • Josephs brothers
  • The 10 other spies
  • King Saul

8
What about our motives and values?
  • Are we too mechanical in our relationship with
    God and others?
  • Are we too mystical?
  • Are too superficial?
  • Are we ignorant lacking in knowledge?
  • Are we too demanding, dominating?
  • Are we driven by fear
  • Fear of failure?
  • Fear of rejection?
  • Fear of punishment?
  • Fear of shame?
  • Where did we go wrong?
  • How can we remedy these fears and experience
    freedom?

How did we get into these wrong motives?
  • Bondage in these areas is possible when we
  • A) Entertain false beliefs
  • B) Allow those beliefs to create
  • destructive thoughts
  • C) They will then develop destructive emotions
  • D) And that will result in destructive behavior.
  • So what is the remedy? It is a two phase
  • process.

18
The two phase remedy!
  • Obedience is first.
  • We identify the false beliefs, acknowledge
    destructive thoughts and behaviour and repent of
    them and follow repentance with obedience
  • Freedom is second.
  • As we replace false beliefs with Gods truth we
    think healthy thoughts, resulting in healthy
    emotions and healthy behaviour. Another step
    towards holistic living is taken.

19
Lets pray!
  • Heavenly Father we have looked at ourselves and
    we see areas in our motives that need your help.
    We confess our need of your forgiveness and power
    if we are going to change. Thank you Lord for
    your unconditional acceptance of us as your
    children. Please speak into our hearts and minds
    now as we wait in your presence!
  • ..Lets take time to hear the
    voice of the Spirit of God speaking to us. May we
    cooperate with Him in obedience. Change my heart
  • O God! Thank you Lord!
