The fight of faith is really a fight for joy. Like any real battle, you shouldn’t enter the ring without strategies for victory.

Holiness is the fancy word for somebody who is so happy in God that sin has no appeal anymore.

Psalm 90:14 “Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days" Amen 🙏 ❤

I-incline my heart towards your word and not to get gains (Psalm 119:8). O-open my eyes that i may see wonderful things in your words (Psalm 119:18). U-unite my heart to fear your name (Psalm 86:11). S-satisfy me in the morning (Psalm 90:14)

1st time i heard it preached this way. That the thrill, self scaring thing we do; is rooted fom our inner need of the fear of God. Wow. Thank you Lord. It makes me think.

Summary of Part 5-6.
This is not meant to excuse any of us from watching the full sermon but to act as a reminder those who have watched, and a 'trailer' for those who are yet to watch the whole thing.
1. Meditate on the Word of God day and night.
2. In all your reading of the Bible, focus on the centrality of God and especially Christ.
3. In all your reading of the Bible, don't spare yourself the terrible glimpses of God's wrath.
4. Learn to preach to yourself.
5. Pray earnestly and continually for everything you need to be happy in God.
6. Resolve to fight every known sin in your life.
7. Commend Christ with your lips wherever you go.
8. Spend time with God-saturated people who will help you see God and fight the faith of faith.
9. Read biographies of great Christian saints (e.g. Hebrews 11).
10. Read great books about God.
11. Get the rest and exercise and proper diet that your body was designed by God to have.
12. Make proper use of natural revelation.
13. Do the hard and loving things for the sake of others.
14. Get a global vision for the cause of Christ and pour yourself out for the unreached.
15. Be patient on the night of God's seeming absence.

9:15 "You must get Faith again, and you get it from the bible. Faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word, so you go to your bible, every morning, to have your faith set aflame and ignited again"
I know that's true because it's scripture but I really don't know what that means.
