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
