THOUGHTS ON REPENTANCE AND DEBTS PART 1.
BY REV DAVID WHITENER 6-11- 2011. CSEYVILE NURS. HOME.
Romans 13:8 (NIV)
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing
debt to love one another,
for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
----------
Proverbs 22:7 (NIV)
7 The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.
------------
Matthew 6:15 (NIV)
15 But if you do not forgive others their sins,
your Father will not forgive your sins.
------------------------]
Prayer JUDGE YOUR HEART HERE !!! MOTIVE.
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street
corners to
be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their
reward
in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door
and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7 And when you pray, do not keep on
babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because
of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows
what you need before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Fasting
16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do,
for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting.
Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,
18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting,
but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father,
who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
A THOUGHT ON REPENTANCE:
LETS PICTURE A PIE CHART. LIST ALL OUR LIFES FACETS.
FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP.
SPIRITUAL – TITHES & OFFERINGS
SOCIAL – BILLS, INCOME STEWARDSHIPS... ABOVER REPROACH.
SOCIAL - LOVE NEIGHBOR AS SELF... AND FORGIVNESS.
PHYSICLE: BODY AS TEMPLE OF HOLY SPIRIT...
A. FIVE SENCES HOLLINESS.
B. STEWARDSHIP OF HEATH, CONDITION.
MORAL HOLLINESS.
6. GENERAL GUIDE: James 4:17 NIV) If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
CONCLUSION: PRAYER: REPENTANCE REFOCUS US LORD TO YOUR HEART ON DAILY LIVING AND LOVE TO YOU & OTHERS. AMEN
