“THE WELL AND THE RIVER.”
TEXT: John 4:14-15; 7:37-38
SPIRIT-FILLED PEOPLE HAVE CERTAIN QUALITIES ABOUT THEM.
1. SPIRIT-FILLED Vs. WORLD-FILLED. Rev. 21:3
A. PEOPLE ARE DESIGNED FOR FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD. Rev. 21:3
- People are incomplete and empty without God. There is unfulfillment. Spiritually speaking, there is a vacuum
B. SIN HAS SEPARATED PEOPLE FROM GOD. Gen. 4:13-14; Eph. 2:1-3; Is. 59:1-2
Separation from God is a metaphor, a picture of death. The parts are all there, but the thing is dead.
C. DISCONNECTED PEOPLE ARE DANGEROUS.
- Disconnected people are intelligent, smart, active, and capable. They have tremendous ability.
- When people are disconnected, they use their abilities for something, and it may be good or evil.
D. SPIRITUALITY IS A PROCESS: WE GO FROM DEATH TO LIFE TO PROPER FUNCTION.
- You must be born again. John 3:3; Eph. 2:5,12,13
- We must grow into His image. 8:29
II. THE SPIRITUAL MINDSET. Gal. 5:16-18
- The difference between The Spiritual and Natural. Rom. 12:1-2; Romans 8:6
- Construction-Destruction Principle (Light-Darkness Principle)
- BOTTOM LINE-Only the spirit survives.
- Transformed People Transform Things-Changed People Change Things.
Matt. 10:7
