Operation Obedience

Ephesians 6:17

[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
[18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Hebrews 4:12

[12] For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

1 Peter 1:23

[23] Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1 Corinthians 12:13

[13] For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

One of the great missions of the spirit of God is to lead us into obedience. Before we can ever realize obedience, we must lay off the sin in our life, right? We must bring to life the part of Christ that is in us and living and more than ready to come alive! For by that one spirit He not only baptized us as an individual to do a work to bring all of our personal fears and doubts under subjection but to do this on a greater scale for the church as well!

Galatians 5:22-23

[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

As we all know and admire about God, He is that great source of grace to each and every one of us. And with that grace we should be doing all that we can and not be still. Grace was not brought for us to be free for us to still feel in bondage! Since the day I was made free I can literally feel the difference in my life as the spiritual part of me rises to dominate and sanctify the other! This is my own testimony; Jeremiah said that it was as a fire shut up in His bones (the desire to obey). When you abide in the spiritual things of God, obedience will only amplify the things we read of above.

2 Corinthians 3:17

[17] Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

One of my personal favorite things about the spirit of God is that when it is time for when He calls for your obedience that there will be spiritual freedom to do it! There has never been a time that I felt the urgency to mind the Lord that I did not have the opportunity to do it. And if there was the unique case that I was being held back intentionally, I know that God was moving on my behalf to open the door for another way or another time! God will make sure that there is an opportunity for you to feel His wonderful presence!

Romans 8:14

[14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Obedience is led by the spirit, and the spirit is sent from God. I love that. It is easy for me to understand and to never try to work it any other way other than God’s way. Let us always remember to be led by God and never stray to what we would feel is best; for what we would sometimes think is best may help temporarily but not spiritually fulfill the need as God could do!

Romans 8:26

[26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Ah, intercession! I thank God for the veil being torn in the temple and that I have the ability to have access to pray to God today! There is nothing to hold you back from opening your mouth even now and calling out for the help that you (or others) need this very moment.

The intent of this message is to get your mind wrapped around one concept: follow the spirit of God to lead you to obedience, and when you get there take your liberty and follow what God leads you to do. In doing so, people’s lives will be changed forevermore!

Let’s Break Up Some Ground

2 Kings 3:16-17

[16] And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
[17] For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.

There was no water for the army until the ditches were dug. We cannot begin to see the supply and provision of God until we learn to start breaking the ground in our own lives. Even though one might be persuaded that it is nearly impossible to do in hard times, God has provided more than enough of a provision to give the ability to do so!

2 Kings 4:3-4

[3] Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
[4] And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

There was no oil until the vessels were gathered. We have to learn to bring all of the things that we go through under subjection and to give God our full trust. When we find ourselves not knowing what to do and not knowing how things will come to pass, it should prove as a good indicator that we are not trusting God like we could be. Learn to trust God in a greater way and you will find the peace that surpasses all understanding!

2 Kings 5:10-11

[10] And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
[11] But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

There was no healing until the leper had dipped 7 times. Until we learn to begin to obey God in spirit and truth we will not learn how to overcome all of our battles. With the spirit of God as our guide and love in our hearts there is nothing that you cannot do. If we begin to be as proud as Naaman was we very well may miss out on the very thing that we need God to perform in. Simply learn to hear from God and do it. It’s not complicated to do in principle, but in getting the mind to direct the rest of you to apply!

Hosea 10:12

[12] Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

There was no harvest until the way had been prepared, the ground broken up. As we learn to bring ourselves to a low and humble state, God can begin to use us. God cannot use a ministry or a church with an attitude or a chip on its shoulder. We must learn to work together and be humble and work out everything that is holding us back!

Joel 2:12-13

[12] Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
[13] And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

There was no reconciliation without repentance! If we simply acknowledge our sins and ask God for forgiveness and to be saved, you can be! Simply confess your faults to God with a sincere heart and ask Jesus to be your Savior! You will never regret your decision!
