The Promised Life Part #3

This was the sermon at our church yesterday! It was a great message that I thought I would share with all of the Siestas, friends and family!!


How to enter the promised life

Scriptures- Joshua 3:1-6, 8-9, 13-17

Crossing over from the Wilderness into the Promise land is an example of the crossing over into the promised Life with Christ.


There are 3 steps to do to get ready to cross over-

1. Get your head straight

Joshua 3:1
Luke 6:46
And why call me Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I say?

If Jesus is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all!!

2. Get your heart right

- be sure you are clean before the Lord
Psalm 139:23-24
Search me, O God, and know my heart and see if there be any wicked way in me!

-be committed to the Lord

Joshua 24:24
Jehovah, Our God, will we serve and unto His voice will we hearken.

KEEP NOTHING BACK FROM GOD

3. Get your feet wet

-God's Promise
2 Peter 1:2-4
Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord seeing that His divine power hath granted into us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that called us.

- Your Faith
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie.

  1. Thanks for the sermon notes Angie.
    I'll be happy to pray for you, I've hit a few low points in schooling this year, usually I need a day off and then force myself to do the rest, usually I'm back in gear again. Was that perminent hair dye on your sister's head? We've had two typhoons brush us, over here and today was the first sunny day we've had in three-four weeks! So, I can't complain....

    Blessings from the Phil.

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
