Seven Things to Kill in Order to Walk in Power a. Sinful and inordinate pleasure (1 Peter 2:11; I Corinthians 9:11; 1 Timothy 2:19); b. Worldly lusts (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15); c. Pride - i. the act of gloring in things, ii. an exaggerated expression of oneself. d. The love of money (1 Timothy 6:10) Money must be an errand resource in your hands. e. Ungodly ambitions f. Food and earthly appetites g. Bitterness and unforgiveness (Romans 5:8; Ephesians 4:32) We don't forgive because they merit it but because Christ forgave us. h. Stinginess (Galatians 2:20) The way of power is the way of self denial, a revelation of the cross.
1. Sinful and inordinate pleasures. 1 Pet 2v11 Fortify yourself with the grace of the cross. Because we were not taught the cross we don't war against the flesh. Col. 5v16, 1Cor 9v27, 1Tim 2v19. 2. Wordly Lust - James 4 v 4. Friendship with the world is enmity with GOd. 1John2v15 3. Pride and Pride of life - exaggerated estimation of yourself; glorying in things; saying what you think you are and not what God says you are. Let nothing change your attitude excpet the knowledge of Jesus Christ. 4. Love of money - 1Tim6v10. 5. Ambition - anything that makes you wonder away from God. 6. Food & appetitie - 7. Bitterness and unforgiveness. Rom 5:8, Eph4v32 8. Stingyness - be giving.
