A message from Pastor Paul...
I developed this page especially for men and women who are struggling to break free from sin. You'll find on this page eight specific teachings that I believe can have a very real impact toward helping you break free from the bondage of sin.
Listen to one message each week and consider listening to it multiple times. After each time, go through the questions that are listed below and then spend time praying all week using the prayer points at the bottom of this page.
God bless you!
Pastor Paul
Week One: Dying with Christ
Week Two: Safeguards to Holiness by Pastor Damian Kyle
Week Three: The Resurrection - This Changes Everything!
Week Four: Crucified with Christ
Week Five: Obedience Through Faith
Week Six: Freedom From Sin
Week Seven: Putting On Christ
Week Eight: Living in the Light of Christ's Return
After each teaching, go through the following questions and jot down your answers:
-
How did the teaching you listened to challenge you to walk more closely with Jesus?
-
In what area(s) did you sense the Holy Spirit bringing specific conviction?
-
What changes in your life do you believe the Lord is encouraging you to make?
-
Is there a promise in the passage or teaching that you can take hold of?
-
What can you praise and thank the Lord for based on the teaching?
-
In what areas do you need to focus your prayer efforts this week?
-
How did the past week go in terms of resisting the sin you struggle with most?
-
If the week went badly, did you come quickly to the Lord and ask for forgiveness?
-
What circumstances or attitudes led to your sinful actions this week?
-
If your week went well, what do you think contributed to your success?
Prayer Points for each week
WEEK ONE: Pray this week that the Lord would give you a greater revelation of what it means to die to self.
WEEK TWO: Ask the Lord this week to show you areas that you can change in your life to establish safeguards against falling into sin. Ask the Lord to give you the courage and strength to walk out those changes.
WEEK THREE: Pray that God would give you eyes to see how the same power that raised Jesus from the grave is now working in your life to bring victory over sin.
WEEK FOUR: Ask the Lord this week to give you greater clarity to both understand and to walk by faith in the crucified life that Jesus now makes possible.
WEEK FIVE: Pray that God would show you how faith affects your obedience and then pray that God would build your faith each and every day.
WEEK SIX: Ask the Lord this week to empower you to walk out the life that Jesus makes possible.
WEEK SEVEN: Pray this week that the Lord would continue to reveal to you how you can "put on Christ" and walk in the power of the Spirit while at the same time resisting the desires of the flesh.
WEEK EIGHT: Pray all this week that the reality of the return of Jesus would be uppermost in your mind and that your expectation for His return would truly change the way you live.
