"Fences Part 2" with David G. Evans

first first thing was I want to I want to be pleasing to the Lord the second thing I want to be fruitful to the Lord why says increasing third thing in the knowledge of God this should be number four right strengthened with all might according to his glorious power under all patience and long with joyfulness giving thanks unto the father and god is telling me to tell you today there's some stuff in the way that has to come down [Music] hi I'm David Evans thank you for joining me once again we've all heard ways to create a habit do something 28 days repeat an idea seven times but what about how to break a habit it's clear that the key to creating new habits is through repetition but trust me when I say that repetition is not required to break one this is great news we want to break bad habits but what happens when we block ourselves from the good news last week we began our series on fences now I want to focus on how our attitude our actions and our self-confidence can be all the difference between success and failure today I'm going to show you six ways to walk worthy in the Lord and receive all that he has for you let's dive right in we believe the promises of God because we read them in the Bible we believe they're true so why haven't we received them because we don't think we're worth them because the reason we don't think we're worth him is we won't position ourselves to receive God tells us what to do in his word shows us what he promises us we know he cannot lie so we believe God we just don't believe he made us like he said he did so the issue for us is that I reject Scripture containing promises because Jack I really don't think I deserve what God is saying somebody say fences a fence internally can make you start thinking you're not worth what you're dreaming for what's this when you don't pursue what God says he has for you the only reason you can't have faith in it is because you don't think you're worth it you don't believe houses and land cuz you don't see your value as equal to houses ain't nobody talking to me I can't get any help in the house so the problem is a sense of work and this low sense of worth this non-existent sense of worth comes out of negative experience and failures the reason we mess up relationships we're in is because we don't know any better because we have a relationship fences watch this now this gonna be so real it's gonna blow your mind the problem with an existing relationship is the only experience you have or from the ones that fail you don't bring success into a relationship or you still be in the last one so the problem is we build a fence from failure bring it into a new thing and [Music] not satisfied until the person gets tired of running into your fence [Applause] it's an emotional fence keeps you from progressing because we won't admit I don't know how to do this but I've got to get the fence of my history torn down first before I can step into the new thing God has for me there's some stuff we brought from home that's messing us up on the job right now somebody fences all men are trifling fences all women are crazy fences I can't get any help in the house but we bring these attitudinal fences into every time the relationship that we have and God is telling me to tell you today there's some stuff in the way that has to come down somebody say worth the watch is now worth is equal in value to a thing sometimes will sabotage a relationship because we don't think we're worth the relationship so I kill it to help me feel better about the fact that I don't qualify somebody say worth that's consideration of how you see yourself not what you tell yourself how you see because I conduct myself by how I see myself not what I say you only hear what I'm saying to you what do you mean what what's the difference see versus say I can say a whole lot cuz I speak things that I don't believe but what I see is what my mind tells me is real because I see with my mind not with my eyes so how I see myself we'll reveal how I conduct myself will tell you how I see myself what I say talk is cheap you can fool people eight hours a day with your talk hard to live in the house with somebody and fool people for long because how I see myself is how I conduct myself because I see with my if you're not careful that kind of existence will build a fence to where you don't expect God to do anything greater than where you've come from and I making sense to you [Applause] somebody say fences so it has to do with the value that I play someone's worth has to do with the value I'm place on myself but worth that worth is having enough good qualities watch this to deserve respect watch the words I'm using have enough good qualities to deserve respect most people demand it you have to demand it when you don't deserve we won't we wanna we want to make folk respect up we want honor without doing honorable thing want people to believe we're faithful when we're inconsistent my making sense to you so I have everything to do partially with Rush Lee I have something to do with my sense of worth am I the kind of person that deserves respect am I the kind of individual that deserves to be admired am I the kind of person that deserves to be received am I the kind of person that deserves the things God has promised me I submit to you a lot of times we disobey God because of our sense of worth God has promised you but in houses and land God has promised you open windows God has promised you long life but we won't do the things in the Word of God watch this not because we don't have faith because we don't think we're worth it so a problem Israel is we don't obey Scripture because we can't see ourselves with what God has promised mmm I knew I was gonna get quite right through there if God tells you the way to get something from him and you do everything but what he said then obviously you don't think you deserve what he's talking about that's why a lot of times when we're not living for the Lord we find it hard to pray to him in a crisis because we don't feel like we're worth him answering the prayer but I'm so glad that he'll bless a doubter sometimes I'm so glad that grace causes him to overlook my record every now and then but it's time for us to get it fixed tell you never get it fixed get it fixed shall we work man are you still with me so the word worth in the New Testament in Greek meat is a word Axios 8x iOS Axios it means what's this to bring down the scale it it is you on one part of the scale and the blessings of God on another and you weigh more than the blessings which means you have more worth than what you're going to receive that you're in position to receive from God because as a child of God I have become worth his promise so I need I need to know how to get my worth up because the Bible tells me to walk worthy of the Lord am I making sense so I so I start thinking like God thinks because I'm in His image acting like God acts cuz I'm in his likeness exercising his authority on earth cuz he gave it to me start being fruitful and start multiplying start replenishing some of you in the next two months about to make the biggest comeback of your life you're gonna get that sense of worth fixed they're gonna say I deserve to be blessed they go start doing what God tells you to do I see come back in your job come back in your health come back in your life come back in your mind somebody shout hallelujah glasses now go to Colossians chapter one check Colossians chapter one go there are you getting this Colossians chapter one I want you to go down to verse nine okay alright we're gonna stop we're gonna stop here cuz I don't want to rush this we got to get what we trying to get rid of today I'll get rid of those fences those things that are limiting our future things we're allowing to live in other people's future the fences that are sabotaging the things God wants to send us shut our minds down we can't see anything different can't feeling anything different don't expect anything different are you hearing what I'm telling you so my say fences have to come down [Applause] already Colossians chapter one go to verse nine are you there I'm gonna show you six things you have to do to walk walk worthy of the Lord six things you have to do to walk worthy to walk consistently with God and be worthy with the Lord whatsis now verse now for this cause we also since the day we heard it do not cease to pray for you and desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding so I want to be questioned I want to be filled with the knowledge of his will and all understanding in other words I want to come under the control of God's will and God's understanding so the knowledge of God begins to control my life like this it's simple when I was in the street I had Street knowledge and the street knowledge helped me navigate the street I'm in the kingdom now so I need some kingdom knowledge so I'm not I handle myself in the kingdom does this make it sense what it says now he said I want you to be filled under the control of the knowledge of his will in all knowledge of his will know what his will is in all wisdom knowing how to do things and spiritual understanding getting revelation and understanding what you're hearing now watch what happens first thing that you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing the first thing you want to do first thing you want to do when you want it when you want to walk worthy of the Lord the first thing you want to do is start living your life to please the Lord this one and all things you do everything you do you want to make sure you're pleasing God that's number one do you see it all right let's keep going now watch this number two watch this now it says not only do I want to walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing but second thing being fruitful in every good work I want to increase my fruits of righteousness every day I want to have physical evidence that I'm doing better every single day so I can walk worthy and raise my sense of worth is this making sense all right so first first thing was I want to I want to be pleasing to the Lord the second thing I want to be fruitful to the Lord what says increasing third thing in the knowledge of God but want to walk worthy with the Lord I have to make sure that this pursuit of the word of God is not just in discipleship class I want to make sure that I am in a lifelong search to know more about God I want to make sure that my revelation is not just wide but deep I want I wanna I wanna I want to expand but I also want to dig into God's Word am I making sense cuz I I need if I'm gonna walk worthy with him I have to continue to know more about him watch how this works now watch this now mm-hmm strengthened this should be number four right strengthened with all might according to his glorious power what's this understanding that what God does is give me strength understanding that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength that I want to let God give me strength every day of my life that I need to know when God's stepping in when I feel weak then he steps in he'll let me do what I can do but anything gets outside my the power of God steps it so I'm gonna make myself available for the strength of God let's make it sensing look at this now look at this mm-hmm this thing is so good watch this now strengthen with all might according to his glorious power watch this oh here comes the curse word of the Saints unto all patience there's the curse word of Saint right there under all patience oh here comes another curse word and long-suffering here comes here comes the unreasonable demand with joyfulness giving thanks unto the Father oh all right let me help you know so in order for me to walk worthy with the Lord and raise my sense of worth so I start believing I'm worthy of the healing I'm worthy of the blessing the breakthrough the deliverance in order to believe that my value is high enough for God to cherish me that I'm behaving in a way where I'm allowing God to give me strength where I'm learning more about God every day where there were the fruits of my knowledge are evident to the people around me when I begin to understand who I am in God I get to a point now where I need some patience and I say patience right now patience in the Bible is endurance all right now here's the problem I change your perception you're gonna love this you're gonna love this you're gonna love this I need I need patience not because it hasn't happened only because I haven't gotten there yet so so it's like this when I ran track they didn't move the finish line I knew where the finish line was but I also knew I had to keep running until I got there so I needed some endurance I said it's Christian patience is not waiting like it's not going to happen Christian patience as possible because I know it's going to happen because God said it was so I need some endurance so I can keep running till I get to where that promise am I making sense to you all verses he says to all patients that many patients in every arena endurance in every arena well I'm well I'm waiting for what God has promised me because watch my patience and my endurance is not just based upon my strength my patience and my endurance is based upon my faith in God that what he says he's already done I'm believing God that's why I'm holding on so people look and say how long you're gonna wait long as it takes ain't you tired yet last year I was tired now I ain't tired yet I got this new thing called endurance and I found out that what he promised me exists so I'm gonna hang in until I get to it I wish I had help in this place I I I'm no longer run out of steam I'm not discouraged all right here comes the other curse word here comes the other curse word so I need endurance or patience and I need long-suffering I hated that word until I found out what it meant it means while I'm enduring I'm calm long suffering this car I'm waiting and I ain't agitated the season is not exactly what I want it to be but you wouldn't know it by looking at me because because I'm just so [Applause] long-suffering the Bible has nothing to do with you suffering long has everything that you would do being calm while God's working it out [Applause] so when I'm walking when I'm walking worthy with the Lord watch this I'm calm not because of me but because of who promised me I'm coming because he said I'm already blessed I'm calm because I have authority I'm calm cuz I'm created in His image and it's like this I'm calm cuz I've got the Holy Ghost I'm calm because I have his word I'm calm because I have it straight I'm calm because I have his power I'm long-suffering when I'm calm I don't have to get back at you coz God takes care of all my problem so I don't waste my time getting upset trying to get back at you I'm too calm it's making sense attendez works that's how this works it says he says he says what's his long-suffering with joyfulness i'll see that now was it they broke it up incorrectly with joyfulness giving thanks unto the father so the context of the scripture was this I'm gonna stop on this context of the scripture gives the implication that there's two kinds of praise praise with joyfulness was this random and mechanical praise going through the motions praise rather than praise that Springs out of appreciating what the Lord has done for you are you here listen so they're saying giving thanks to the Father because he's been so good to me that while I'm enduring this thing I'm staying calm because it's not my will but his will not my strength but his strength I can't get any help in the house are you hearing what I'm saying the Lord is telling me to tell you that as we walk through this message these two weeks the fences in your life are going to come down just like the walls of Jericho came down to the ground hallelujah that emotional fence has got to come down now if you don't think you're worthy to receive an inheritance you cannot expect God to bring you one God desires nothing more than to bless you however sometimes we can be so focused on our past that we've missed what God desires to do in our present and in our future I want to take a moment to pray that we stop living in the past and decide to live in the present while looking toward the future God wants to provide for us come on let's pray god I thank you right now for this opportunity to remind us by your word in your spirit that we are made in your image and in your likeness then we have been empowered by the Spirit of God and the Word of God to overcome any hindrance and offence in our lives and that you call us righteous so in your eyes there was a righteousness that we must live up to because you expect and have empowered us to reach this goal I thank you right now for a shift
