The Church of Eleven22

Jesus did not come to bring peace. He is peace. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.John 16:33

Is it time for you to come to your senses, leave your rebellion or religion and come home to an Everlasting Father? For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8:15

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 Do you need a Wonderful Counselor? You can access the power and presence of the Holy Spirit through person of Jesus Christ.

The same God who warns us so adamantly about hell is the same God that sent his only begotten son Jesus to bear our sins and save us from hell. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 Jesus is both the most active voice on Hell in the Bible and the saving voice saying, “surrender and follow me, for I have come to save.” The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. Revelation 22:17 The reality of Hell should: 1. Stir us with passion to worship the King of Heaven 2. Strengthen the urgency of eternity in our witness of the salvation of Jesus 3. Sober us to the reality of the kingdom of self and its consequences

When we pray “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” we are not merely praying “God make our lives better” we are saying “God rule and reign here. God have your way with us because your way IS better.”

Passivity is holding back your strength for self preservation. Aggression is expressing your strength for self gratification. Love is leveraging your strength for others through self sacrifice. *The use of the trademark "Act Like Men” is with the express permission of Harvest Bible Chapel (www.actlikemen.org).

True strength is not found in position, possessions, or power but in the PERSON and Work of Jesus. * When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; Luke 11:21 * For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12: 10b * Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

-The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is his name. Exodus 15:3 - So God created man in his own image, Genesis 1:27 - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, Ephesians 6:12 To Stand up and Act like Men we must dress our selves for battle and go to war to DEFEND and PROTECT our loved ones. Stand firm because our Victory is in Jesus. "by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him."

THE REBELLIOUS PERSON follows their own desires and ends up, despite some fun, being devoured. THE RELIGIOUS PERSON follows their rules and ends up, despite their effort, being devoured. THE GOSPEL CENTERED PERSON follows Christ the victor and ends up, despite our hardship, in victory. *The use of the trademark "Act Like Men” is with the express permission of Harvest Bible Chapel (www.actlikemen.org).
