Here is Sunday's sermon that we didn't hear because of us being unable to be physically together.
--------Read from the pastor 's notes
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Opening:
We have an enemy that wants to snare us.
Snare definition:
a trap for catching birds or animals, typically one having a noose of wire or cord.
(Trappers use elaborate scents and sets for the specific target animals)
The enemy uses crafty designed traps that capture us by various means.
When we fall into these snares it will cause us to be in his bo***ge.
We are then unable to escape on our own power, but need God's help and mercy to be loosed and set free.
---note1
We are not promised a perfect problem free life before or after that we turn to God
-----
Even if we live righteously we are a few days and full of trouble is what the scripture says.
-----
Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble
Psalms 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Note2:
-----snares and temptation
We must escape through Jesus Christ... (see opening scripture at top)
Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Ex 1
Psalms 124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Ex 2.
Psalms 141:9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Ex 3. JESUS SAID
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
---surfeiting definition
(cause (someone) to desire no more of something as a result of having consumed or done it to excess.
)
Note3
We all need to pray that we can escape the snare of our flesh.
Be set free by the blood and salvation of Jesus.
---in living
Through prayers and being watchful of our steps
2 Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Closing:
We should pray, fast and study the word of God.
Pastors perspective:
I personally have been overwhelmed by the continuous traps and snares that are laid in my path walking for the LORD.
In faith I continue on, waiting and expecting God to help me escape these elaborate afflictions and snares designed to capture me.
Pray for me and pray for each other.... because we will be ready for the way of escape from God.
