1 From Rags to Royalty Notes Sherry Lush El Shaddai Women s Ministry January 16, 2016 II Corinthians 5:17 If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you I Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out Abba, Father. Ephesians 3:16 that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ s then you are Abraham s seed, and heirs according to the promise. #2818 Heirs: getting (you are going to receive something) a sharer by lot, an inheritor, a possessor Luke 17:21b.For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you. Colossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ s then you are Abraham s seed and heirs according to the promise.. Galatians 3:7 You are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir of God through Christ! Ephesians 2:11-13 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh who are called Uncircumcision by what is call the Circumcision made in the flesh by hand that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and 1

2 strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus, You who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. Ephesians 2:20-22 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. 1. Using the above scriptures, describe to each other what happens when you accept Yeshua as your Lord and Savior. II Corinthians 5:17,20 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new.20) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ #4243 Ambassador: one who acts as a representative Titus 2:1 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous wife? Proverbs 31:10b For her worth is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness. 2. Talk with each other about ways you can use your tongue for kindness and avoid slandering. The Shema Deuteronomy 6:4-6 Hear O Israel, the Lord our God The Lord is One. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Titus 3:4-7 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 2

3 Revelation 2:2,3 I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name s sake and have not become weary. Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place unless you repent! Deuteronomy 6:6 And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. Psalm 119:32 I will run the course of Your commandments for You shall enlarge my heart. (In Hebrew enlarge is to make wide, give liberation, joy, confidence and insight; enlarge) Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of GOOD report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy meditate on these things. 3. How do you keep the things described in Philippians in your mind? Titus 2:4 admonish the young women to love their husbands and love their children. Deuteronomy 6:7 You shall teach them (the Words of God) diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up. Proverbs 31:28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Titus 2:3,4,5 (only selected words as a group of behaviors) We are to be reverent in behavior, chaste, obedient to their own husbands and not given to much wine. Proverbs 31:27b she watches over the ways of her household Proverbs 31:30b Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:11, 12 The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. 3

4 Proverbs 31:13-16, 18, 27b She seeks wool and flax and willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for her household, she considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. Her lamp does not go out by night. and she does not eat the bread of idleness. Titus 2:5 that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Titus 2:5 tells us that she is DISCREET Proverbs 31:25 Strength and honor are her clothing. Colossians 3:12-17 Put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another, as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things, put on Love, which is the bond of perfection, Let the peace of God rule in your hearts. Let the Word of God dwell in you richly.. Giving thanks to God. Titus 2:3..not given to much wine Galatians 4:5b-6 that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6) And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, Abba, Father! Colossians 1:13 he has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Ephesians 3:6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ through the gospel. Ephesians 2:12-13, That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world, BUT NOW in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ you are now No longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. 4

5 RUTH Ruth 1:12,13 I am too old to have a husband (for you). If I should say I have hope, if I should have a husband tonight and should also bear sons, would you wait for them till they were grown? Ruth 1:16,17 Entreat me not to leave you or to turn back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me and more also, if anything but death parts you and me. Ruth 2:2 Please let me go to the field and glean heads of grain.. Ruth 2:7 Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. Ruth 2:10 So she fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner? Ruth 2:13 Let me find favor in your sight my lord; for you have comforted me. Ruth 2:14-15 We see Ruth working all day, and at evening, Ruth 2:18 She took what she had gleaned and gave to her mother in law what she had kept back. Ruth 2:22,23 (We see that she is warned by Naomi to stay with his (Boaz s) young women, and that people do not meet you in any other field. So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest, and she dwelt with her mother-in-law. Ruth 3:10 Blessed are you of the LORD, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich. Ruth 3:11 And now my daughter do not fear, I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are an Eyshet Chayil (a warrior bride!!). 5
