| | Maroon 5- Never Gonna Leave This Bed | ] | So, Mike Breaux spoke at Southland tonight... the series name for right now is, "The Illusionist".... I had to type a hard copy of my notes tonight... This sermon was a game changer.
- If you were to pull back the curtain on my life, what would people see? - How am I not authentic? - Am I an illusionist? - Don't hide behind the curtain- be the person God has created you to be. - Don't be afraid to be who God made me to be. - I'm already, "in" and accepted. By God. He matters most. - Jesus needs to be the most important person in my life so I can live how He wants me to live. -God has an iPhone photo gallery of for photos just of me. He takes delight in me. - Genesis 2:25- Vulnerable before God and each other. Walking honestly and openly with the Father. - Never doubt the true character of God -> When we do we start to, "cover up". - God is longing for our compassion. - His call is gentle and compassionate. - Why do I hide? Why do I cover up? - "Jesus knows me, this I love." - Freedom in knowing God knows everything and He still loves me. - Don't allow the illusion to become reality. - Whatever is in the darkness always come to the light. - Choose authenticity over, "faking it". - Surrender to God and live in freedom. Stop playing the game. - Live real and full- not some phony image. - Illusion self vs. Truth Self. - The pursuit of Go brings us to true happiness. - Allow God to ambush me with love... HE WANTS TO! - I'm free to come out of hiding. - We find ourself by seeking after God. - Lose yourself in God and you will find your identity. - God isn't behind a curtain- His beauty is always on display. - Psalm 19 - Romans 1 - God isn't something He's not. - Hebrews 1:3 - John 1:1-3, 14 - God is a God who sees everyone with worth. - He's a source of living water and love. - He's a Father who sits by the gate and waits for His children. - The Father showed grace by having His hands nailed to the cross- the curtain was torn. - When the curtain was torn there was no need to hide any longer. - What happens at the cross stays at the cross. - 1 John 4:16 - Love is who God is. - 1 John 4:18 - Perfect love drives out insecurity- perfect love sets us free. - (Brennan Manning- Abba's Child) - God love can change a life. - God wants us to be free drop the mask. - He's the true lover of my soul. - We desire an unfailing love. - Psalm 32:10, Psalm 33:5, Psalm, 36:7, Psalm 130:7, Psalm 17:7-8, Isaiah 54:4-5, Psalm 68:5-6, 1 John 3:1, Ephesians 3:16-19 - God is 100% faithful. - EXPERIENCE HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES ME! - Our true self is found in surrender to Gods love.
- Relief is found in giving up. Freedom is found in surrender. - There's freedom in floating, He strong enough to hold us up. - There's freedom in giving up and just letting God love me. |
