Luke 17:15-16
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back,
praising God with a loud voice; 16 and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. ESV
- I want to be the one. God did a work in ten lives and only one turned to thank Him. God I want to be the one that recognizes your hand in my life. I want to be the one that turns back in gratitude. I want to be the one that will lay down his own agenda to live for you. I want to be the one that you can use. God that is my prayer make me the one. I want to be different I want to be sold out. I want to meditate on your word. I want to see it come alive, I want to live it. I am in a world full of people that call themselves Christians, but so few of them live like the one. Make me the one. God use me to minister to lives let us be a generation filled with the ones. Are you the one, or are you one of the nine?
- The one must be willing to leave others. You can’t be the one if you are following the crowd. There is a price to be paid to be the one. For the leper he left his friends, and walked a little further, and delayed his entry into the city a little, giving his time. What is the price for you? Are you willing to pay it?
- The Scriptures are full of the stories of the men we can call the ones. Like Noah who was called alone out of his generation, David who was called a man after God’s own heart. Abraham who was called out of his people to have a relationship with God. The prophets who were willing to deliver messages that got many of them killed. Many of the apostles spread the gospel even when it cost them their lives. You can’t forget Steven the first martyr he definitely falls in the category of the one.
Prov 23:29-35
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? 30 Those who linger long at the wine, Those who go in search of mixed wine. 31 Do not look on the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, When it swirls around smoothly; 32 At the last it bites like a serpent, And stings like a viper. NKJV
33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart will utter perverse things. NKJV
ALCOHOL
– Prov 23:29-35
- Drinking can affect your heart. It says your heart not your lips utter perverse things.
- Prov 4:23 says to guard your heart, 1 peter 5:8 be sober and vigilant …the devil… who he may devour.
- 1 Cor 10:5 we are to take thoughts captive, Rom 12:2 we are to renew our minds, Phil 4:8 tells us to think on things that are praise worthy. When one is not sober they will not guard diligently. Satan is looking to devour what better time to whisper lies, to stir up unforgiveness and hatred. We are in a fight why walk around disarmed. Life might feel better disarmed without our helmet, vest/breastplate, heavy weapons but when you leave them you are a sitting duck. There is no place on earth you can hide to disarm. Just as lifting ones mask during paintball might feel better yet isn’t a good idea, so drinking disarms us leaving us open for the attack from the devil.
- Prov 20:1; 21:17; 23:20,35; 31:3-5; Eph 5:18; Rom 14:20-21; 1 Cor 6:9-11; 8:9, 11-13; Luke 1:15
- Gal 5:19-22 List self control as one of the fruits of the spirit, Alcohol damages that, and Drunkenness is listed as a work of the flesh.
23:34 – 35
34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying: NKJV
35 They have struck me, but I did not feel it. When shall I wake, that I may seek another drink? NKJV
- The Drunk is unaware of the damaging being done to there own life.
- Drinking is like leprosy of the mind? Leprosy doesn’t actually rot your flesh, it kills your nerves, it takes away the ability to feel. When you can’t feel you will do the damage to your self, unaware of the damage that is done things get infected and that is the rot that we think of with leprosy. Drinking dulls the senses. It allows you to stop feeling. When the numbness sets in and your feeling is gone you don’t relies what you have done. Like a leper damaging his own life unaware drunks damage their lives completely unaware. People begin to make poor choices numb to the affects they don’t stop or get help and the problems fester like the infection on the hand of a leper until parts of there life are completely destroyed.
Ps 139:14
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. ESV
- Do you see what God sees when you look at yourself? Vs 18
- See who I am in Christ Eph 1:3
Ps 139:18
18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. ESV
- Do you realize that God is obsessed with you? God is thinking about you all the time. Vs 14
Ps 139:2
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. ESV
- 1 Sam 16:7; Mat 6:4; Ps 104:34. My thoughts are not a secret to God. God sees my heart (1 Sam 16:7). God are my thoughts pleasing to you. Our thought lives aren’t something we think about enough. God help me to purpose that the thoughts and meditation of my heart would be pleasing to you. (Ps 104:34).
- Since God can see our thoughts are yours pleasing to him?
Luke 4:16
So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. NKJV
- Have you made a habit of putting God first? You don’t want your relationship to be reduced to a mere custom, but you do want to make a consistent habit of putting God first.
- Do you have a consistent time that you have set aside to give to God?
