VIRTUAL SERMON


SERMON NOTES:

Dealing with a Hard Heart

Psalm 89:33-35 - New King James Version

33 Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not [a]utterly take from him,
Nor [b]allow My faithfulness to fail34 My covenant I will not break,
Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.  35 Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David:

  • God’s faithful to His Word

  • Won’t break His covenant word

  • If he said it, He wont go back on it- He can’t lie

Revelation 12:7-12 - New King James Version

And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

  • Heaven got rid of Satan, and soon the earth will too

  • Accuser of the brethren/ children of God (same tricks- did it in heaven, did it to Job, did it to you)

  • Overcome by Jesus Blood (what Jesus has done, His performance)

  • Word of our Testimony- say what the God says

Proverbs 4:20-23 - New International Version

20 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.  23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

  • Pay attention (think on), ears, eyes

Joshua 1:8 - New Living Translation

8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.

  • Just don’t read, study the book

  • Meditate- think on, roll over in your mind, say it to yourself

  • Obey it- faith without works is dead (prove your faith to yourself with corresponding actions)

Psalm 1:1-3 - New Living Translation

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
    or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.  They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.  Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

  • Where do you run for advice (the word or the world)

  • Meditate- think on, roll over in your mind, say it to yourself

  • Prosper in all that they do (family, business, health, relationships)

Demonstration

Healing

1 Peter 2:24 - Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

24 He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [a][as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.

Isaiah 53:5 - New King James Version

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

Deliverance

Psalm 107:20 - Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

20 He sends forth His word and heals them and rescues them from the pit and destruction.

Isaiah 54:17 - Amplified Bible

17 “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord.

Finance

Deuteronomy 8:18 - Amplified Bible

18 But you shall remember [with profound respect] the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day.

3 John 2 - New King James Version

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
