YOU CAN NOT CHANGE YOUR LIFE….UNTIL YOU LEARN TO CHANGE WHAT YOU DO EVERYDAY

SPIRITUAL MATURITY – IS LONG OBEDIENCE IN THE SAME DIRECTION 

4 THINGS YOU NEED TO DO DAILY

1.    DAILY PRESENCE 

1 CHRONICLES 16:11 esv Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

AMP - Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually [longing to be in His presence]

2.     DAILY READING 

MATTHEW 6:11 

MATTHEW 4:4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”

PSALM 1:1-2 NIV Blessed is the one

    who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take

    or sit in the company of mockers,

2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

    and who meditates on his law day and night

JOSHUA 1:8 AMP This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful

DUSTY BIBLES LEAD TO DIRTY LIVES

3.     DAILY PRAYER 

1 THESSALONIANS 5:17 – PRAY CONTINUALLY 

COLOSSIANS 4:2 - You must keep praying. Keep watching! Be thankful always.

PRAYER IS NOT TO GET GOD ON MY AGENDA, IT’S ME GETTING MY LIFE ON HIS AGENDA 

DL MOODY – WHEN I STOPPED PRAYING, COINCIDENCES STOPPED HAPPENING 

4.     DAILY RHYTHM 

MATTHEW 11:28-30 MSG 28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
