Title: The starting point, the ending point and the most important POINT in between, is for you and me together to LIVE with and in a REVELATION of the love of God.


1
The starting point, the ending point and the most
important POINT in between, is for you and me
together to LIVE with and in a REVELATION of the
love of God.
2
  • When the love of God is working in us then FAITH
    can work - because FAITH only works by love!
  • Galatians 56
  • For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus,
    there is no benefit in being circumcised or being
    uncircumcised. What is important is only faith
    that works by love.

3
  • Faith, that is, receiving faith, growing in
    faith, and walking in faith doesnt just
    happen. It is a battle! And the bulls eye
    that Satan is always targeting is our faith.
    Not our saving faith in that speaking of our
    salvation. Rather, believing faith our
    ability to believe in the goodness and love of
    God.

4
  • 1 John 54
  • and this is the victory that has overcome the
    world-- our faith.
  • 1 Timothy 612
  • Fight the good fight of faith take hold of the
    eternal life to which you were called, and you
    made the good confession in the presence of many
    witnesses.

5
  • QUESTION What was the Holy Spirit trying to
    communicate to the young pastor Timothy? What
    fight?
  • ANSWER The fight of faith. The next phrase
    seems to indicate what the fight is all about
    take hold of eternal life.

6
  • ??? zoe
  • John 14 (NLT)
  • The Word gave LIFE to everything that was
    created, and his LIFE brought light to everyone.
  • John 14 (ESV)
  • In Him was life, and the life was the light of
    men.

7
  • The call of the Spirit was to lay hold of
    JESUS!
  • John 1010
  • The thief comes only to steal and kill and
    destroy I came that they may have life, and have
    it abundantly. 
  • Zoe - Life The God-kind of life.

8
  • This is what this FIGHT is all about. We are
    fighting to lay hold of the God-kind of life
    in our bodies, our finances and in our
    relationships. This is where the battle is.
  •  
  • John 663
  • It is the Spirit who gives life the flesh
    profits nothing the words that I have spoken to
    you are spirit and are life.

9
  • It is the Spirit that makes alive. It is the
    Spirit who gives Zoe.
  • The FIGHT is engaged WHEN you begin to lay hold
    of LIFE.  When the enemy senses you are going
    after LIFE he goes all out.

10
  • Jesus said, The thief comes to steal LIFE
    (John 1010)
  • This is where the FIGHT is happening.  It is a
    FIGHT against darkness.  And, you have to LAY
    HOLD of it.

11
  • ?p??aµß???µa? From the root ?aµß??? To lay
    hold of, take possession of, overtake, attain, to
    lay hold of or to seize upon anything with the
    hands

12
  • Luke 840
  • And as Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him,
    for they had all been waiting for Him. 41 And
    there came a man named Jairus, and he was an
    official of the synagogue and he fell at Jesus
    feet, and began to implore Him to come to his
    house 

13
  • Mark 522-23
  • One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came
    up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet and
    implored Him earnestly, saying, My little
    daughter is at the point of death please come
    and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get
    well and live.

14
  • Luke 843
  • And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve
    years, and could not be healed by anyone,
  • QUESTION WHAT ARE THEY AFTER?  What is this
    father after?  What is this woman after?
  • ANSWER LIFE!  In Him was LIFE!

15
  • If you are a son or daughter of God - JESUS is
    INSIDE of You!
  • Just as North and South are in the same line -
    just at opposites ends - so are faith and fear.  
  • The enemy of faith is fear.  Fear and faith are
    both spiritual forces.  They are both faith.  One
    is faith in God and the other is faith in death.
    Because all fear is ultimately fear of death.
     For example You're not afraid of flying your
    afraid of dying.

16
  • Where fear is tolerated our faith will be
    contaminated.
  • The enemy of faith is fear.  Fear is a spiritual
    force.  

17
  • 2 Timothy 17 (KJV)
  • For God hath not given us the spirit of fear but
    of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
  • (YOU) have not been given a spirit of fear

18
  • The spirit of fear is the spirit of the devil,
    which is also the spirit of death.   
  • Fear connects to the spirit of fear, which is
    also the spirit of the devil which is the spirit
    of death.
  • Job said, "What I have fear came upon me..." (Job
    325)

19
  • SO WHAT? How Do I fight the battle for (eternal)
    life?
  • 1. We FIGHT the fight and lay hold of eternal
    life by what we say and by what we don't say.
    It has everything to do with the power of our
    words.

20
  • Proverbs 1821
  • Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
    And those who love it will eat its fruit. 
  • Genesis 11
  • In the beginning God created the heavens and the
    earth...  

21
  • God's spirit was moving - but nothing happened
    until God spoke!
  • Jesus was given the Spirit without measure (John
    334,35) because He spoke only the Word.  And
    when the Word gets down in our spirit and we
    speak the Word HE WILL GIVE US THE SPIRIT WITHOUT
    MEASURE TOO!  

22
  • Only when the word it is spoken, does it come to
    past.
  • WORDS ARE FIRST. We live in a word created,
    word-dominated world.  You can choose the words
    you use.

23
  • Deuteronomy 3019
  • I call heaven and earth to witness against you
    today, that I have set before you life and death,
    the blessing and the curse. So choose life in
    order that you may live, you and your
    descendants,
  • Words are not primary for communication.  Words
    are primarily the way we execute authority.

24
  • 2. We FIGHT the fight and lay hold of eternal
    life by living in the awareness of who we are
    and who we are not.
  • We are exactly like Jesus (1 John 417)! We are
    sons of God (John 112 1 John 32 Galatians
    326). We are joint heirs (Romans 817)! We are
    the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 521). We
    are loved by Father God as much as He loves Jesus
    (John 1723).

25
  • Romans 81
  • Therefore there is now no condemnation for those
    who are in Christ Jesus.
  • NOW! Now means now!

26
  • 3. We FIGHT the fight and lay hold of eternal
    life by fighting and winning the battle in our
    mind. In other words, how we think, will
    determine our victory or loss of victory.

27
  • Colossians 31-4
  • If then you have been raised with Christ to a
    new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the
    dead, aim at and seek the rich, eternal
    treasures that are above, where Christ is,
    seated at the right hand of God.

28
  • 2 AND SET YOUR MINDS and keep them set on what is
    above (the higher things), not on the things that
    are on the earth. 3 For as far as this world is
    concerned you have died, and your new, real
    life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ,
    Who is our life, appears, then you also will
    appear with Him in the splendor of His glory.

29
  • We are no longer servants and we are sons!  We re
    joint heirs!  We must THINK like WHO we REALLY
    are!
  • 4. We FIGHT the fight and lay hold of eternal
    life by taking the time to trace back where FEAR
    GAINED (GAINS) ACCESS to our lives and
    surrendering that ground to the Lordship of
    Jesus.

30
  • Mark 413-20
  • And He said to them, Do you not understand this
    parable? How will you understand all the
    parables? 14 The sower sows the word. 15 These
    are the ones who are beside the road where the
    word is sown and when they hear, immediately
    Satan comes and takes away the word, which has
    been sown in them.

31
  • 16 In a similar way these are the ones on whom
    seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they
    hear the word, immediately receive it with joy
    17 and they have no firm root in themselves, but
    are only temporary then, when affliction or
    persecution arises because of the word,
    immediately they fall away.

32
  • 18 And others are the ones on whom seed was sown
    among the thorns these are the ones who have
    heard the word, 19 but the worries of the world
    FEAR, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the
    desires for other things enter in and choke the
    word, and it becomes unfruitful.

33
  • 20 And those are the ones on whom seed was sown
    on the good soil and they hear the word and
    accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a
    hundredfold.

34
  • All doubt, all depression is fear-based. And, the
    revelation (not information) rather, revelation
    of the love of God will cast it out.
  • When you trace it to its lowest common
    denominator fear results from man trying to
    meet his own needs without God. It is the
    absence of faith.

35
  • Faith in God is faith in His life. Whereas, fear
    connects with the spirit of fear which is the
    spirit off death which is the spirit of the
    devil.
  • Just as FAITH comes by hearing, and hearing by
    the Word of God, so FEAR comes from hearing, and
    hearing from the lies of the devil (that is,
    whatever violates what the Word says.  (Healing,
    provision, etc.)

36
  • Perfect love (that is the knowledge of, the
    revelation of) cast out fear.
  • 1 John 418 (NIV)
  • There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives
    out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.
    The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

37
  • The starting point, the ending point and the most
    important POINT in between, is for you and me
    together to LIVE with and in a REVELATION of the
    love of God.
  • WHY?

38
  • When the love of God is working in us then FAITH
    can work - because FAITH only works by love!
  •  
  • Galatians 56
  • For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus,
    there is no benefit in being circumcised or being
    uncircumcised. What is important is only faith
    that works by love.

39
  • Romans 82  - I am FREE from the law of the
    spirit of death
  • Satan gets footholds of fear in our lives when we
    give into sin.  This is one of the reasons not to
    give into sin.
