“Living in God’s Order and Increasing in His Favor”
“The Test of Obedience”
Isaiah 1:19, 20 II Corinthians 10:1 - 6 I Kings 12:31 I Kings 13:1 - 14
• We are celebrating Pastor Goudeaux being obedient to God – As it relates to what God is doing in our lives
• Obedience is the key to everything that is going to happen in your life
• Many Christians are obedient – But not willing
• When you refuse God – That progresses into rebellion
• Obedient means: Hear what God is saying
Listen with the intent to obey
Hearken to God’s word
Listen with attention or interest
• A great way to celebrate this 32nd Anniversary is to – Succeed because you heard
• You must be a hearer and a doer
• There are people that hear but don’t do – And people that do but did not hear
• Willing means: To exercise towards the will
• Refuse means: To be weary - Fail to comply or give obedience towards
• How do you get weary? – Because you are not willing
• You cannot do things based on other people’s expectations and prosper
• You do not do something because you know what the consequences are
• You don’t do because of “if you don’t” - You must be willing
• You should walk by faith not because you will not get something
• It should be because you have excepted the principle – You should will to walk by faith
• You lose testimony when you refuse – You lose influence when you refuse – An you lose an opportunity for the harvest when you refuse
• Don’t be good just because if you don’t – You will go to hell
• That should not be your motivation
• Your motivation should be - You love the Lord - You lift your voice to worship and praise Him
• Because He is God and you “will” to praise Him – To give Him thanks
• You don’t have to be afraid of going to hell – If you are obedient and you do not refuse
• Rebel means : To be disobedient
• You need to come to the place with God where you say “I’m going to be obedient” and “willingly obedient”
• The base part of maturity is learning how to transition from a flesh walk and life to a Spirit life
• The greatest gift you can give yourself is to learn how to walk in the Spirit
• What is flesh? - Human ingenuity - Human value – Human invention
• You cannot please God from the flesh or the human initiative
• You have to please Him from the Realm of the Spirit
• If you receive situations from the flesh or human initiative – You will absorb the impact
• When you respond to things from the Realm of the Spirit – The Spirit absorbs it
• The Spirit will translate things to you - The weapons of your warfare are not carnal / fleshly
• They are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds
• Stronghold comes from the word acroma - A firm imposition against human confidence
• The enemy wants you to operate in the flesh because
• You have not confidence in the Spirit when you’re operating in the flesh
• You cannot bring order to your life when you are “out of order”
• The devil does not have access to you if you are not on his territory
• Have the order and power of obedience in your life
• If you are obedient – Then everything that follows you will be obedient
