Putting On The New Man

Stimulating New Sight

Renewed In Knowledge

  Colossians 3:10 (NKJV)

  10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

Inward Motion  Three critical questions for you today.

1.  Have you become uninspired? 2.  Do you desire to become inspired with new

sight?

3.  To what measures are you willing go to take in fresh life?

An Extreme Makeover Jeremiah 32:40 (NIV)

40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.

Divine Influence   Inspire is an action…it moves you to do

something…

  Inspiration is movement…not stagnation

  Inspiration is Illumination…a pathfinder

  Inspiration is divine influence…

Awesome God   I will inspire them to fear me

  Inspire-Latin: Inspirare – Breath or blow into, from in-into + spirare breathe

  Fear –Latin: revereri “stand in awe   To bow

Making it On Broken Pieces   God is making us over from broken and shattered

pieces.   Make – to form something by putting the parts

together. Luke 22:31-32 (NKJV)

31 And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.

32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”

The Journey Continues   The journey continues through good and bad times.

Acts 27:1 (NKJV)

1 And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment.

Who’s Deciding   Our lives by designed are seriously constructed to

carry out the divine plan.

  A collaborative scheme authored by God.

  Uncharted waters…

  Are you ready for a revolution????

Coming In Under The Radar Acts 27:4 (NKJV)

4 When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

Stealth   Under the shelter of Cyprus …Stealth

  We’re coming in under the radar..

  Cyprus –An Island in the Mediterranean Sea very strategic…very important as a source for timber used in shipbuilding and copper, both vital commodities in the ancient world.   Wood a carpenters favor material for building.

  Ships were use as a Christian symbol in the first century. They reminded the church of Noah and the New testament stories of Jesus…calming the storms.

The Divine Nature   Copper- copper is inferior in value to gold, just as the

human nature is inferior to the divine nature.

  Just as these sources were critical to the development of the known world of the first century. We are gravely critical to the building of God’s Kingdom on the earth.

2 Peter 1:4 (NKJV)

4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Penetrating the Winds Acts 27:7 (NKJV)

7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of Crete off Salmone.

 ….Had sail…catch the wind

  Slow is good…start off slow and pick up speed…

  Our arrival is not with out complexity…yet without question we will reach our destination…

The Winds of Change   Cnidus- Great city of Commerce in Turkey

  Godless systems

 Winds – symbolic of earthly systems that resist people of God. Eph 4:14; Matt 24:31

Mountain of God   Crete – Mountain

  Shelter from a mountain

Isaiah 11:3-4 (NKJV)

3 His delight is in the fear of the Lord, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;

4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
