[JJ] [PREACHING LESSON 13:] PHYSICAL DISABILITY IS NOT A BIG PROBLEM TO A CHRISTIAN THAT THEY CANNOT SERVE THE LORD. BUT SPIRITUAL DISABILITY OF THE CHRISTIAN IS THE REAL PROBLEM THAT PREVENTS THEM FROM DOING THE WILL OF GOD IN THEIR LIVES.

 

PHYSICAL DISABILITY IS NOT A BIG PROBLEM TO A CHRISTIAN THAT THEY CANNOT SERVE THE LORD. BUT SPIRITUAL DISABILITY OF THE CHRISTIAN IS THE REAL PROBLEM THAT PREVENTS THEM FROM DOING THE WILL OF GOD IN THEIR LIVES.

* ( John 14:15 ) If ye love me, keep my commandments.

1. LACK OF DAILY MEDITATION IS THE VERY SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL DISABILITY OF THE CHRISTIAN.

( Joshua 1:8 ) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

2. LACK OF PRAYER IS THE VERY SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL DISABILITY OF THE CHRISTIAN.

( 2 Chronicles 7:14 ) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

3. LACK OF CONFESSION OF SIN IS THE VERY SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL DISABILITY OF THE CHRISTIAN.

* ( 1 John 1:9 ) [9]If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

[10]If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

4. LACK OF FAITH IN GOD IS THE VERY SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL DISABILITY OF THE CHRISTIAN.

( Hebrews 11:6-8 ) [6]But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

[7]By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

[8]By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

5. LACK OF DOING THE WORD OF GOD IS THE VERY SOURCE OF OUR SPIRITUAL D IN OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE 

( James 1:22-23 ) [22]But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

[23]For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

6. LACK OF HUMBLENESS BEFORE GOD IS THE VERY SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL DISABILITY OF THE CHRISTIAN.

( I Peter 5:6 ) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

(James 4:6-10) [6]But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

[7]Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

[8]Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

[9]Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

[10]Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

7. LACK OF FRUITFULNESS IS THE VERY SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL DISABILITY IN CHRISTIAN LIFE 

( John 15:1-5 ) [1]I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

[2]Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

[3]Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

[4]Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

[5]I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

8. LACK OF FAITHFULNESS TO GOD IS THE VERY SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL DISABILITY OF THE CHRISTIAN.

( 2 Timothy 2:13 ) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

* God bless you all always *
