It's Time To Stand Up Part 3
Sermon Notes
We are living in a time when complacency, apathy, and postmodernism have crept into the church. America is in decline, but it’s not too late! This is a supernatural sequence of events, and our only hope is God’s presence.
Key Scriptures:
I Samuel 6:1-14, Psalm 37:25; II Corinthians 5:17; Romans 12:1
Key Points:
- You need standards. The 10 Commandments in the Ark of the Covenant represent standards, conviction, and morality. This country needs God’s Law again.
- You need the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. Aaron’s rod that budded was a representation of the supernatural life-giving power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Sprit can take that which is dead and dried up and give it life again! The Holy Spirit produces miracles and gives life to the dead. He can give life to you!
- You need God’s provision. The manna in the Ark represented God’s provision. When you give your life to Jesus, He will always provide for you. God never forsakes the righteous.
- Walk the straight way. You must live contrary to your natural desires to serve God. But you don’t have to do it in your own strength; God will give you the power! If you are in Christ, you are a new creation. God’s presence can free you from every addiction, anxiety, depression, and everything else that has plagued you.
- Revival requires sacrifice. Present yourself as a sacrifice to God. If you want revival, something must hit your soul that causes you to hate the world and love holiness. When you allow sin in, it diminishes the anointing of God. Sacrifice is what attracts God’s presence back to your life. Sacrifice your time by reading your Bible, taking time to pray, and attending church.
Final Thoughts:
What’s going on in the world isn’t just natural; it’s supernatural. And the only answer for the problems people face is the presence of God! The Ark is coming back to America, but it requires sacrifice.
