1 INTRODUCTION Do I Really Want Jesus to Change Me, or Not?!

2 INTRODUCTION Background How many of you could change your life in just a week, or about an hour per day, for the worse, forever?

3 INTRODUCTION Not telling you what to do, or to do what I do Looking back over the last couple of years ;(

4 MEN & WOMEN Differences Living in a Dream World Promised Land, or 40 years of Wandering in the Desert?

5 MEN & WOMEN 1 Peter 3 7-9, 12 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker vessel, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. To sum up, let all be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing. FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE UPON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ATTEND TO THEIR PRAYER, BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THOSE WHO DO EVIL.

6 MEN & WOMEN Joshua 1 8 "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do (observe to do) according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.

7 MEN & WOMEN Definition of Success: I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN I HAVE HARMONY IN MY MARRIAGE WITH MY WIFE

8 MEN & WOMEN You say, Women are different from Men like it s a Bad Thing

9 INTRODUCTION Do I Really Want Jesus to Change Me, or Not?!

10 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE REPENTANCE A CHANGE OF MIND TOWARD GOD AND SIN THAT RESULTS IN A CHANGE OF LIFE

11 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE REPENTANCE IS NOT: not just Remorse not Confession or Acknowledgement of sin not just Changing your Mind not simply Cessation from Sin (Gen 6: 6) not simply Sorrow for Sin (2 Cor 7:10) not Sorrow simply because you got Caught!

12 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE REPENTANCE is raising the white flag of surrender to God is a U-Turn is when I am heading one direction, which is the way of sin and self-will, and I stop and turn around so that I am now going God s way

13 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE REPENTANCE is a change of mind or will which has been produced by godly sorrow and which will result in a change of life is a change of man s will denying our will and submitting to God s will. This change of volition is caused by the goodness of God and godly sorrow (Rom 2:4, 2 Cor 7:10)

14 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE REPENTANCE I no longer love darkness and error but love light and truth (Jn 3:19) I am willing to surrender my will to God and thus view God differently (Heb 12:28) I realize my own sinfulness (Rom 3:23) I respect the word of God and desire to obey it (Acts 2:37-42)

15 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE CYCLE OF TEMPTATION DECEIPT DELIGHT DESIRE DEFEAT MORE DECEIPT!

16 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE James 1:14,15 STAGES OF TEMPTATION But each one is tempted when he is 1. THE LOOK Carried away 2. LURE and Enticed 3. LUST by his Own Lust. 4. CONCEPTION Lust has Conceived 5. BIRTH it gives Birth to sin 6. GROWTH when sin is Accomplished 7. DEATH it brings forth Death.

17 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE James 1:14,15 STAGES OF TEMPTATION But each one is tempted when he is 1. THE LOOK Carried away 2. LURE and Enticed 3. LUST by his Own Lust. 4. CONCEPTION Lust has Conceived 5. BIRTH it gives Birth to sin 6. GROWTH when sin is Accomplished 7. DEATH it brings forth Death.

18 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE But each one is tempted - when he is carried away - and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived it gives birth to sin And when sin is accomplished it brings forth death. James 1:14,15

19 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE VICTORY, or DEFEAT? OBEDIENCE!

20 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE - VICTORY

21 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE - DEFEAT

22 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE Obedience Stop Avoiding Character Development! Stop Avoiding Growth! PRAYER, BIBLE READING, and

23 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE PRAYER - Pray claiming the power and the blood of Jesus Christ. Call on the Lord to: Rebuke Jude 1:9 Bind Satan Mark 3:27, Mathew 12:29 Place a hedge of thorns around my loved ones and myself Job 1:10, Hosea 2:5-7

24 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE Pray that God will send the Hornet against them - Deut 7:20, Exodus 23:27,28, Josh 24:12 Understand that this is a spiritual battle, not a physical battle Luke 22:31,32, Eph 6:10-17, II Cor 10:3-5

25 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE Have Patience! - Ex 23:29,30, Deut 7:22,23 Praise God!

26 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE IF GOD ANSWERED THIS PRAYER: Would it Bring Glory to God? Would it Help Advance the Kingdom? Will it Help People? Will it Help Me or Them Grow Spiritually?

27 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE Colossians 1:9-12 to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord please Him in all respects bearing fruit in every good work increasing in the knowledge of God strengthened with all power attaining all steadfastness & patience joyously giving thanks to the Father...have not ceased to pray for you:

28 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE A - Adoration C - Confession T - Thanksgiving S - Supplication

29 AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE BIBLE READING IMMERSE MYSELF IN THE WORD Philippians, James, Ephesians, Romans 6, 7, 8, Psalms 2 Tim 3:16,17 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable 1) for teaching, 2) for reproof, 3) for correction, 4) for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
