INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
Insights From "Church, Read The Book Of Acts, & Get Ready!" by Donnie Swaggart - Chapter 510/19/2020 "THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THE SPIRIT OF POWER, THE SPIRIT OF LOVE, THE SPIRIT OF A SOUND MIND"
II Timothy 1:7 "...the apostle Paul distinguishes between what Satan desires to do & what God can do." "No matter what you are facing in your life, the Lord is with you if you belong to Him." "THE SPIRIT OF FEAR" "Fear is Satan's work." "...he will try to get us to believe the situation is hopeless." "FEAR & FAITH" "The opposite of fear is faith. Fear worries over what tomorrow may bring, but faith understands that whatever happens to a Christian is either caused or allowed by God." "...proper faith is understanding what the object of our faith must be, which is the Cross. Properly understanding the atonement then guarantees the help of the Holy Spirit" "THE SPIRIT OF POWER" "1. The answer to fear of any question of life is found only in the Cross (Rom. 6:3-5, 11, 14, Gal. 6:14)." "2. Our faith is to be placed exclusively in the finished work of the Cross (I Cor. 1:18, 2:2)." "3. Once our faith is exclusively anchored in the Cross, then the Holy Spirit begins to work in our lives (Rom. 8:1-2)." "...a power source within us that is greater than anything Satan has." "THE SPIRIT OF LOVE" "This love is divine love or the God kind of love. The Greek word for this kind of love is agape. This is the love that the world cannot possess." Galatians 5:22 "...agape love cannot be developed in one's heart unless the believer has a proper understanding of the Cross." "THE SPIRIT OF A SOUND MIND" "When it comes to the will of the believer, we have one of two choices: We can will to go God's way, which is the way of the Cross, or we can will to do otherwise. If the Christian chooses to live one's life outside of the Cross regarding sanctification, then one's will will be overcome by Satan. So, a sound mind is a mind-set focused on Christ & His victory won for us at Calvary, which brings self-control." Church, Read The Book Of Acts, & Get Ready!, by Donnie Swaggart, pgs. 39 - 42.
