“An Urgent Prayer Request from a Christian to a Christian”

Romans 12:1-2

Presenting your body as a living sacrifice is an urgent request.

As a Christian you are to present your bodies to God. It is easier to talk about than to live.

 

  1. Because of the mercy we receive there should be a presentation of your body to God.

You are obligated to present your body to God.

Be willing to expose yourself as the sacrifice.

You are good at knowing how holy you are.  You know how good you are.

What does God think about your holiness though?  That is what really counts.

You are to be acceptable to God and before God.

Are you really interested in what God thinks about you?

You are to be a living sacrifice every day.

You have to desire what He wants in your life to present your body a living sacrifice.

This is an every day ordeal, not just a once in a life time happening.

 

  1. Because of the battle you are in.

You are in a battle this morning, and it will never end; it will be a constant fight.

If you don’t do anything the devil will not bother you.

The battle is about not being conformed to the world.

The devil will start you with everything you could possibly want in the world, and then leave you with nothing when it is all said and done.

The world wants you to be conformed to the world.

It is a fight to be different.

You have to be transformed.

You have to change your habits, change your ways, and change the way that you think, and change your mind.

Be exposed to God and you will be willing to change your mind.

You’ll change when you see it like He sees it.

God’s will is the perfect will of God for your life.

 

God just wants you to live for Him.

 

BUS MINISTRY UPDATE:

This morning the Lord allowed us to have 47 kids to ride the bus.  Only 1 of the riders was a first time rider.
