“Overcoming the World” I John 5:1-5

Now, how? How are we going to overcome the world? We’re told here very specifically, “... and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” This is not an achievement that’s completed at once. This is a life-long business. I think it was Theodore Beza , a successor to John Calvin... I disagree with great many elements of his theology but I have great sympathy for his great heart of love and tenderness toward God. At the age of nearly 70, he said, “Oh, God. Save me from making shipwreck of my life when I’m just in sight of the harbor.”
A long life of serving God and now he’s saying, I’m so close to finishing. Don’t let me do some stupid, foolish thing in my old age that I shunned in my youth. It was Rutherford , who was one of the great holy writers that so drew our hearts to God in love who said, at the age of 83, “The longer I live and the closer I walk to the Lord, the more I realize the abysmal depths of capacity for sin in the human heart.” Don’t ever forget you’re a child of God. That there isn’t any sin that anyone ever committed of which you are not capable, given the opportunity and given the incentive.

“Facts – The Foundation of Faith” I John 1:1-3

But our fellowship can’t be in the text. It can be upon the text, in Him; but if it is in the text, we are Bibliolaters, and not Christian. And I am afraid that today there have been some out of a mistaken sense of loyalty to the Word have placed their fellowship upon their mutual ignorance, or their mutual understanding of the Word. They have established little esoterically achieved laws of interpretation, schemes and patterns of understanding, and they find their fellowship in this. If fellowship is in an organization, it is less than Christian fellowship. It is merely in a human enterprise that has taken religious names. If fellowship is in a person other than Jesus Christ, it is similar to any other fan club-as far as its moral and spiritual significance is concerned, it is but a human enterprise, graced with Biblical names. If fellowship is in a task, it is similar to any other task around which men will gather and congregate, the Tuberculosis Association, or the Society for the Removal and Cure of Muscular Dystrophy, or even the carrying of the literature of the Gospel to some Tribe. If fellowship is in a task, if fellowship is in a person, if fellowship is in an organization, if fellowship is in a creed, it is less than Christian.

Now Christian fellowship will have all of these, they will be present, but they will not be grounds of fellowship. And so we have established for us once and for all that Christian fellowship must first be with the Father, and with the Son, before it can be with others. It becomes less than Biblical, less than New Testament, less than Christian. You can get even devils to join an organization that has a statement of orthodoxy as the foundation of its fellowship, because they would hold it to be so, and never submit to it. You could get any humanist or philanthropist to join an organization that has as its task the relieving of human misery and suffering in distant lands. You could get anyone to join an organization that has as its end the intricate maneuverings and manipulations of that organization. For we are people who like order and love organization. And it can all be graced with Christian names and Christian terms and Christian titles, and Christian ritual, and be less than Christian; because Christian fellowship has a presupposition, and it is that one has fellowship with the Father, and with the Son, and on the basis of this immediate, personal, subjective, interior fellowship with God he can then have fellowship with others who have fellowship with God.

“Hating Sin” I John 3:9,10

Now you can either like that or not like that as you wish, but that doesn’t change it. In my opinion, God meant it because He said it, and He said it because He meant it. The only way to deal with it is to accept that God said what He meant and meant what He said, and He said, “Everyone remaining in Christ does not go on practicing sin, and everyone keeping on practicing sin has not seen Him, nor has he known Him.” Everyone into whom Christ has come in response to receiving faith, and who remains in Christ by faith simply does not keep on doing or practicing sin. Not to do sin implies a decisive break with sinning.

Announcing a new book. We have put together two of Pastor Reidhead's excellent books into one volume.

Beyond Believing declares five great Imperatives: The Great Commandment, The Great Call, The Great Commitment, The Great Leading, and The Great Judgement. It focuses on the necessity for wholehearted allegiance to Christ.

Beyond Petition is a masterpiece work about six steps to successful prayer. "The prayer of affirmation, the prayer of confession, the prayer of thanksgiving, the prayer of praise, the prayer of wisdom, and the prayer of faith. There should be such an increase in our own personal relationship with God that we are going on from prayer victory to prayer victory.

Below is a link to the book on Amazon.

The Will of God for You – Colossians 1:9-14

Remember, everything done by Christ in the three years of His ministry was not done by the Son, the second person of the trinity. Philippians 2 tells us this He emptied Himself. (Php. 2:1-11) That is everything He did He did by the Father through the Spirit. He could’ve done everything He did as Son, but if He had He wouldn’t have been “like unto his brethren.” So at His baptism, in a sense, it’s the emptying of the right to act in His essential deity as Son. (Heb. 2:17) And He presented His body to the Father and He was filled by the Spirit, anointed with the Spirit. Now the Spirit of God had been in Him. Oh, yes from the time of His conception, but the Spirit of God now is upon Him. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,” and everything done by Christ in His public ministry was done by the Father through the Spirit. (Luk. 4:18) He said, “I do nothing of myself;” “I don’t speak of Myself.” (Joh. 8:28; 14:10) “I speak as I receive commandment from My Father.” (Joh. 10:18) “The works that I do The Father He dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works.” (Joh. 14:10)
Now this is His will, that He can live in you with the same freedom without restriction or hindrance or any impediment at all to His perfect will. Perfect. And Christ can live through you His own life. This is why He says, “That you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;” ‘in order that’ you might “walk worthy of the Lord” However well you may meet a legalistic description of how a Christian should walk, you infinity fail unless you are permitting the risen Christ to live in you His own life. Because this is not a legalistic life that can be imitate by the Pharisee. This is a dynamic life that can only be produced by the risen Christ living through you. To walk worthy of the Lord is not simply to avoid this and do that, but it is to present your body to Him so that the Lord, Himself can fulfill His purpose in and through you.
