As we celebrate Thanksgiving, remember the One from Whom all blessings flow.

[Locust Grove Church @LocustGroveAssp]

We like to receive birthday gifts, & Christmas gifts, but do we covet the spiritual gifts? It won’t be given to you through any of the five physical senses, but you’ll know without a doubt it came from the Holy Spirit. Chosen to be used by God for such a time, give Him thanks!

[Locust Grove Church @LocustGroveAssp]

You don’t earn spiritual gifts any more than you can earn salvation. They are freely distributed for a moment as God sees fit for the good of all. The 3 revelation gifts reveal something, the 3 power gifts do something, the 3 verbal gifts say something. Administer with love.

Every American should listen to this advice. Revival will not come to us on Air Force One. https://t.co/a61vwD1Saa

One sin is as bad as another...or is it? We all will. Jesus said Pilate had a greater sin than Judas. The Bible weighs sin by severity: missing the mark, transgressions, iniquities, and the worst, detestable abominations. Don’t go there! Go low and gain grace! #lovesinnerhatesin

The finger of God produced miracles, the hand of the Lord brought deliverance , but the arm of God reveals His mighty power over sin, death, and the grave. We are all unworthy of royal blood flowing through our veins, until we become joint heirs....blue bloods with the King!

The World Series-would you rather win the game with a home run or by sliding in under a determined catcher’s mitt? When your life is over, will you be rewarded or just enter heaven by the skin of your teeth? Still safe, but daily living for Jesus will avoid a close call.

He loves me, He loves me not. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God-that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. I Cor 1:30. God does not disown us on our off days. Honor His name and get off that roller coaster!🎢

Before the cross, the law of Moses was holy, good, gave warnings, taught & encouraged us, equipping us for every good work. After the cross, the law became obsolete and powerless. Can keeping the law save you? No, believe in Christ, repent, and live guilt free.

Don’t let the devil get a foothold Eph 4:13 He’s the father of lies.

From admired king to paranoid tyrant, King Saul lost his grip. Once divinely empowered, he even turned against the priests as jealousy of David took over. A form of PTSD ended in needless bloodshed. It can happen to anyone. The cure? Hold fast to the Word of Life!

It’s accurate to say anyone can be demon-oppressed. Satan will stop at nothing. Even though he claims “I will...” 5X in Isaiah 14:13-14, he knows his fate. Jesus came to set the oppressed free. God’s “I wills” in Ex 6:1-8 give hope and comfort. Promises made, promises kept.

[Locust Grove Church @LocustGroveAssp]

A believer cannot be demon-possessed, but can be demonized. If the devil can control your mind he can control your behavior. Don’t be his puppet—greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world!

[Locust Grove Church @LocustGroveAssp]

Constantly abide with the best Friend anyone could have. What a fellowship, what a joy divine...what a blessedness, what a peace is mine....

[Locust Grove Church @LocustGroveAssp]

The rich variety of ways God speaks includes the gift of a word of wisdom & also the restraining power of the Holy Spirit. A “prophetic” utterance should be tested-don’t listen to a “pathetic” utterance. When God adds super to your natural, great things happen. Listen closely.

What is the world coming to???

[Locust Grove Church @LocustGroveAssp]

Encounters of the God kind is the start of abundant life. The critical next step is an encounter with yourself, a humble awakening to your need for grace. The result? A life set on a mission to encounter the world with the gospel.

Interesting quotes from our study tonight on the crucified life: The bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away. The will is a puppet of the mind. Believing your own lies is like rearranging furniture in your mind . We each struggle with a signature sin. Our daily goal...

[Locust Grove Church @LocustGroveAssp]

The flesh can get in the way of the pursuit of holiness. Being imitators of Christ is more than self-denial. The deeper life means launching out where God works in you. More of Him and less of me is always rewarded. If it wasn’t for the Lighthouse, where would this ship be?
