follow same thing with God rather than

you striving going head of God trying to

good yield to the power of God don’t

[Music]

change if you have your Bibles go to

Ephesians chap 2 and verse 8 8 I’m going

to read out of the

NLT and then Chap and John 6: 28-

29 now this is very interesting I’m

going to talk about Godly

living obtained by the power of

God Godly living it’s something that

that that we all strive

for it it’s something that we all want

it’s something that you know we want we

want to achieve God

living you know I I I want to do

right I want to live right I mean I love

God but I keep bumping into this um kind

of roller coaster ride where you know

sometimes it’s working like supposed to

work and then sometimes it doesn’t and

sometimes I’m up and then sometimes I’m

down maybe it’s something else we need

to look look at especially with this

phrase by the power of God what does

that look like what does that look like

when I decide that I’m going

to by the power of God live

right by the power of God do

right by the power of God operate in the

Fruit of the Spirit by the power of

God and I think the key is right there

in our face it’s by the power of God odd

but I’m not sure if Christian people

really understand that phrase by the

power of

God now I’m going to drop some nuggets

out just and just handle them bit by bit

I probably won’t finish this sermon

today it’s okay but I want your thinking

to kind of get on the same page with W

with with with with where what I’m going

to teach here today and I think you

you’ll see

this it is difficult for for for many

people to grasp fully and understand the

truth that

salvation from the penalty of

sin salvation from the penalty of sin is

the work of God and of him

alone your salvation is a work of

god you being saved is all because of

God all by

itself and that that seems to be kind of

a weird thing because you’re like well I

got saved it I thought it was

me who you know made the decision I

thought I in in in essence you’re like I

thought I got myself saved by the

decisions I made now you had to believe

absolutely look at this in Ephesians

chapter 2 and:

8 many people can’t grasp this fully

that the truth that salvation from the

penalty of sin is a work of God and of

him alone verse 8 says God saved you by

his grace when you

believed and you can’t take credit for

it because it was a gift from

God God saved you by his grace when you

believed all right his part was by his

grace he did the work and saved you your

part our part is we

believed now that’s a huge part but we

keep adding on to our part our part is

believe his part is everything

else our part is none of his

part look at the look at John 6 verse 28

through 29 in NLT I I thought it I

thought it was necessary to just just

show you this as we got started today

there was a group of guys that saw Jesus

feeding uh the uh uh feeding some folks

who by multiplying bread and fish and

they wanted to do the works of God and

um verse 28 said and they replied we

want to perform God’s

works and I think that’s how the church

is they want to perform God’s work we

want to accept responsibility and do

what God is actually responsible for

okay we want to perform God’s works too

what should we do and here’s what Jesus

said Jesus told them this is the only

work the only work God wants from you

here’s the only work believe in the one

he has

sent so the only work that we have under

this New Testament is to

believe that’s the work and somehow

that’s so hard for the Christians to

kind of accept it’s like all right I

believed and and and and and look at me

now I’m I’m I’m doing better but that’s

it’s not because of you that you’re

doing better you believed and God worked

all of that stuff that you

seeing does everybody follow me so

far

now all that God does in in reconciling

everything that God does in redeeming us

everything that God does in justifying

Us in in giving us a new eternal life

all of that is of God Alone God by

himself is responsible for reconciling

God by himself is responsible for

redeeming he’s he’s responsible for

justifying us and making us righteous

he’s responsible for us to have a new

eternal life God alone and God by

himself is responsible for that man can

contribute nothing to reconciliation

Redemption justification and new eternal

life God by

himself

now as difficult as this is for man to

see it seems even more difficult for the

saved for saved people to realize that

the

life which God expects for us to

live is not of us but by his own power

God expects for us to live this life as

Christians and we think that we’re the

one that’s going to produce this life

that he

expects all my life I thought it was my

responsibility to produce this life that

God expects from me as a Christian to

have and now I’m telling you today that

it is not

me that should be responsible nor can

I produce what’s necessary to live this

Christian Life this Christian Life the

life that God expects for me to live the

life that God expects for you to live

this Christian Life Is by his own power

so he’s he’s expecting for me to live a

certain way and it’s going to be by his

power that that comes to

pass are y’all are y’all are y’all with

me you still on the

bus okay so this this really blew my

mind he’s expecting for God God is

expecting for me to to live this way

he’s expecting for me to to to live

righteous to live holy to live he’s

expecting for me to live this

way but he’s not expecting for me to

produce that way of living He by his own

power is going to produce the expected

life that he expects for us to

live god dog it maybe it didn’t do you

like it did me but it was like it was

like a pause moment right there I said I

got to hold up here because maybe I’m a

little bit too high strong but I thought

that was my

responsibility now hold on to this I’m

I’m I’m just going to just kind of drop

this bit by bit and then it’ll all come

together now so because of this lack of

understanding many Believers listen to

this word I’m about to use

strive a striving self-effort many

Believers strive In Their Own Strength

for a high for this high moral conduct

of living instead of

yielding strive

to try to get it to happen rather than

yielding themselves to the power of God

which will enable them to live according

to that high standard of living that’s

under the grace of God and so basically

what we’ve been doing is we’ve been

working hard and striving hard to

produce this way of living that’ll be

pleasing to

God and he says no I don’t want you

striving I want you

yielding come on yeah I want you

yielding to the power of

God and through the power of God that

way of living will be produced by him

not you your job is to believe his job

is to do the

[Applause]

work you’ll get it I promise you’ll get

it I’m I’m I got I got three pages of me

emphasizing and overemphasizing the same

thing

say this out loud with me striving

striving versus yielding versus yielding

now you know when you yield in a car you

pause and let the car go ahead of you

and then you

follow same thing with God rather than

you striving going ahead of God trying

to produce this expected way of living

He says yield to the power of God that’s

good yield to the power of God don’t

don’t yield to the power of self yield

to the power of God

Amen see if you could yield to the power

of self then you you you didn’t NE you

didn’t necessarily have to get saved you

you’re saying to yourself I can produce

this well Living Well why’d you get

saved because all hair broke loose and

you couldn’t figure out nothing you

didn’t know how to every every time you

tried it it didn’t work it got worse it

got and then you finally say well

somebody said you need a save and then

and then you you you got saved and and

and he came and he saved you and you

really thought that you had a lot to do

with getting saved but he had that thing

worked out the whole time he knew what

it was going to take to bring you to

that spot where you said I need a

savior then he said I’m going to go

ahead and save you he said and if I can

go ahead and save you I’m going to go

ahead and produce the life I expect for

you to live I ain’t asking you to do

nothing but to believe in the Old

Testament you work for me but in the new

Testament I work for

[Music]

you are you foll me now are you

following

me

ah

so when this high standard of living

under

grace when it seen to be on this when

you when you look at this this this way

of this expectation of living this high

standard of living that’s under the

grace of God

it become and then you you you compare

it to like I’m living in a crazy world I

got Temptation in my face all day I and

I thought about this this morning when I

was

praying our our

minds are

so

busy and

occupied

and ah

fluttered and it’s like it’s just keeps

coming you wake up something going on

you turn television on something’s going

on you you go to the store something’s

going on and something’s going on with

your family and it’s like Satan is

working overtime to just keep you

distracted and you’re not even

recognizing that to live this life that

he’s talking

about is it’s going to be something more

than human resources that’s needed to

live this

life after you you’ve lived a little

while and then you recognize I have done

this over and over and over again and

still it’s not

working you

know I’m trying to do right I’m trying

to live right I’m trying to make the

right decisions I’m trying to stay away

from

uh those habits that you had that you

just couldn’t seem to break you prayed

and you prayed but it it it kept seeming

like it was just too late and so you

turn it over to Jesus and then you

stopped worrying about it you gave it

over to the Lord and he worked it out

that’s a song but you wern’t paying no

attention to it because you were so

occupied we the answers tried to they

tried to sing the answer to you and

everything but but we were so occupied

and somehow religion told you you’re

responsible for all of this and if you

really look at what God’s asking for it

is impossible for you to be a Christian

in your own Human

Resources what you’re asking me to do I

can’t do that in my own

resources I never forget when there was

a relative of ours who was found

murdered and she like oh well just go

ahead and forgive them do not tell me

that I am not ready to forgive somebody

that killed somebody that had my blood I

I’m not ready for that you you never

will be on your own I don’t have the

human resources to to to dish out that

type of

forgiveness where the Bible says we out

of love I know what the Bible says but

my I don’t have the human resources to

love like you telling me the Bible say I

ought to

love but we pretend like we

do we act like we do only to fail in

private enough where we don’t want to

come in public with the church people

believe all of this stuff but we really

don’t that’s our big secret our big

secret is we really don’t believe God

the way you heard us say that we believe

God and when it gets worse I just stay

away from you people who say you believe

God like that because I ain’t figured it

out

yet what I have discovered is that I

don’t have human resources to live the

way the Bible telling me to

live oh y’all look at me I lost my mind

sometimes I feel like oh my God they

don’t know what I’m talking about I I

don’t went too deep I don’t got off the

no no no you know what I’m talking

about you know what I’m talking

about you get up here and act like

you’re the greatest parents in the whole

world and you preach that stuff like you

actually have the human resources to

parent like God tells you to parent and

then we all the rest of us done thought

well what the what the world wrong with

us

I don’t have human resources to parent

the way the Bible says I don’t have the

human resources to be a husband like the

Bible tells me to I don’t have the human

resources to be the pastor like the

Bible tell me to but he didn’t ask me to

have the resources that’s why he by his

[Applause]

power

divine power alone can produce this

divine order of living that he is

expecting He’s

Able but are we

yielded or are we

striving under grace we got to yield to

the power

under religion we think we got the

power and your Human Resources without

God’s divine

power will not produce

this Divine

life and all we do is just we go keep a

list of well he did that wrong I did

that right self-righteousness he did

that wrong I did that right oh they got

they got been divorced twice I’m still

with my wife and you br about that I I I

ain’t never messed up since I’ve been

married for 30 years first of all you

lie let her let’s see what she got to

say about your

okay you don’t have

[Music]

the I thought I had the power to heal

myself I thought my intellect and my

knowledge and my studies was

enough and I

discovered I needed his divine power to

produce the promise of healing his

divine power to give me peace that

passes all understanding his divine

power to pay the rent when all my money

is spent and a little bit to buy some

food and the baby needed pass shoes

that’s another song you won’t listen to

that one look he got a light bill do you

got a gas bill too telephone disconnect

wait till your next paycheck paycheck

bounce on you what are you going to do

cheat and scam somebody to get the money

to do that that’s in your Human

Resources but there is a power of God

that can get you all get you through all

that cuz that’s a part of

living and so we keep trying to teach

principles without no Holy Ghost

because you think you have the equipping

and the resources to do

it but honey just in case you don’t know

it

now you going to need the power of

[Applause]

God you can’t do it

without now the fact that the true life

under grace the fact of the true life

the somebody says I live my life under

under the grace of God so what you’re

saying is I live my life in complete

dependence upon

God cuz that’s what that’s what it is to

live your life under the grace of

God there’s still people who think that

under the grace of God that allows for

loose living it doesn’t the grace of God

is responsible for the highest level of

character it teaches you how to live a

high living but what religion did is

took the grace of God and says it it

allows you loopholes it allows you to

just uh you know to live a a loose life

now if you’re really living under the

grace of God you’re living a life of

complete dependence upon God and the

more you depend upon God the more you’re

going to see his unrestrained operation

of love in your

life so really all of our lives here is

the main subject and you’ve heard me

teach this subject for like what uh at

least two years depending on God depend

on God depend on God learn how to depend

on God declare your dependence upon God

depend on God learn how to depend on God

what it looks like to depend on God

that’s

[Music]

it

amen complete dependence upon God is

evidence that that life must be lived by

the power of

God our lives must be lived by the power

of God that’s why we got to depend on

him I depend on him because my life has

got to be lived by the power of God if I

if I don’t live my life by the power of

God I won’t ever

achieve if that life could be lived in

the power of the believer it would

become a life of dependence upon self

and not a life of dependence upon God if

I could successfully live this expected

life that God has for me to live and it

doesn’t change it’s not like God it this

the attitude of well God’s low his

standards because yours are low

no his standards are are high and they

will always be high and he’s not

lowering them because Society changed

well you know times change so God’s

lowered his standard no he

hadn’t he hadn’t low his

standards it’s it’s it’s never

lorded it’s never been adjusted to

society or to you or what you think

think it is now no it just requires what

is always required dependence on

him it’s always required dependence on

him well you know God loves yeah God but

see God loved you while you was a sinner

don’t be talking about God love to

justify sin God loves and has always

loved can’t do nothing but love because
