A powerful sermon was given two weeks ago entitled: "When A Person Gets Right With God". It was a time of personal reflection on our spiritual lives and a new awareness of the holiness of God. Here are some highlights:
When a person gets right with God:
They are purified with the fire of God's presence. The fire of God cleanses and purifies us and makes us holy, because He is holy.
Worship is a response to God - a response to who He is, to His glory.
True worship is an encounter with God.
Is our worship an encounter with God, or is it just a habit? Do we long to encounter God in our worship?
The fire of God spreads through us into the lives of others. This leads us to witness for the Lord. Let's not be so full of the things of the world that God cannot consume every part of us.
A passion for God leads to compassion for others.
Create spiritual combustion:
II Chronicles 7:14 tells us how:
Humbles ourselves
Pray, seek the Lord
Turn from wickedness
Ways We Can Get Right With God:
It is a personal responsibility - each one of us is accountable for ourselves.
Humble ourselves before God
Meet God on our knees, He Is, we are not
See God for who He is: majestic, glorious, almighty
Spend time with God - prayer indicates a relationship with God.
Long for God's presence - seek Him
Seek His face, not His hand, seek Him for Himself, not just what He can do for us.
Walk toward God - away from sin.
Revival begins in our own hearts, may we desire the fire of God to purify us and spread through us.
