ARE YOU SATISIFIED WITH THAT? n We are taught to be content with where we are and what He has given us to do. n n n “Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Messiah's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. ” 2 Corinthians 12: 10 “Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, ‘I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU, ’ ” Hebrews 13: 5 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. ” Matthew 5: 13

SHOULD WE BE CONTENT WITH THE “STATUS QUO” OF WORSHIP? n When have we “arrived? ” n “Although Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated. ” Deuteronomy 34: 7

WHO SHOULD WORSHIP? Should everyone worship? Ø “All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will worship before You. ” Psalm 22: 27

CRICIFIED FLESH But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities (hostility; hatred; ill will; animosity; antagonism), strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions (disagreement; discord), factions (a group or clique within a larger group), envying, drunkenness, carousing (to drink deeply and frequently), and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Galatians 5: 16 -25

GOD’S RESPONSE TO ABRAHAM’S FLESH! Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. I will bless her, and indeed I will give you a son by her. Then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her. ” Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to a man one hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child? " And Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before You!" But God said, "No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. ” Genesis 17: 15 -19
