Changing The Viewpoint

by Pastor Roy Esposito

Luke 8:17-18 (Passion) — “Pay attention to your hearts.”
“How you see things will determine what you see.” — PR
— The “mind of Christ” — the potential to make the opaque clear.

The Three Primary Powers

1. Reasoning minds 2. Emotions 3. Will

The Two Secondary Powers

1. Imagination 2. Sensuality

“The success of the journey toward regaining oneness with God will be determined by the merit of one’s focus.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (Passion)

Frances Frangapane — “Our Christian experience must expand until our faith in Jesus and love for Him becomes a lightning rod for His Presence.

“Don’t be afraid to ask —

2. Growing in love or just trying to protect myself?
3. Listening and obeying the inner voice of His Spirit?
4. More patient, kind. peaceful, merciful?

2 Corinthians 13:5 (Message)
James 4:7-8 — “Divine Arithmetic” — Subtract the worldly and add the heavenly

Subtract the things that make your spirit opaque. —
Add the power that’s greater than that which is subtracted:

2. The grace of God that’s greater than the power of any sin.

Pray Psalm 92:10

Psalm 92:12-14

Psalm 35:5 They looked unto Him and were lightened ‘ brightened, enlightened, radiant] and their faces were not ashamed

His Word to me:

SOW NEW SEED IN THE NEWLY PLOWED AND FURROWED GROUND

I RECEIVE THE FRESH NEW SEED /SEE

JESUS IS ALIVE- AND I AM FORGIVEN- the past is over

1 Peter 1:23, 25

Isaiah 55:2b-3

WORSHIP WAIT RECEIVE WISDOM DISCERNMENT

Summoned By Love

by Pastor Roy Esposito

Belief – An opinion deduced from an intellectual process. A “Soul Event”

Faith – Trust in a person or thing – A “Spirit Gift and Fruit” – 1 Corinthians 12:9; Galatians 5:22

Hebrews 12:24 – Jesus the “Spiritual Singularity” and completion of Faith

1 Corinthians 13:13 – Faith – Hope – Love

Trust steadily in God
Hope unswervingly
Love extravagantly

Hebrews 11:1 – Faith – a confirmation and a proof of things yet to be seen

Hebrews 11:6 – Without faith, we can’t be pleasing to God

A Second Summoning – To experience a deeper intimacy with God

1 John 4:8 – God IS love!

Luke 15:11-32 – Prodigal Son/ Loving Father

Ephesians 6:15 The “shoes of peace” that walk in the assurance of God’s love

John 8:1-11

Faith allows us to Hope – to take the chance of being “chumped”!

“Our Viewpoint creates our View”

Matthew 25:40 – “Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, that you do unto Me also.”

Carl Jung – “What if you discover that the least of Jesus’ brethren is YOU?”

John 15:12 – “Love others as I have loved you.”

Ephesians 3:18-20 (Passion)

Holiness is paradoxical – Above and immersed

Matthew 22:35-40 – The greatest commandments

A summons to total immersion in God’s love
The standard for loving others is how well you love yourself

Procrastination / Fear of failure – A sin against love.

Fear – The Enemy of Love – Love IS the perfection of Faith

1 John 4:18 – ” There is no fear in Love. Perfect Love casts out fear for fear has torment.”
