Talk 10 growing in the spirit

So Fresh, So Clean
The Cause is a church founded on prayer. We believe that wher-ever we go, we must first go there in prayer. We believe prayer and reading the Bible can’t just be routine; they’re meant to be the heartbeat of your life, your daily connection to God. But developing this discipline won’t happen by accident. 1 Timothy 4:7-8 says to “take time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit.” No one can go to the gym for you and no one can grow your prayer life for you.This book is designed to help you start your year strong by learning to pray with purpose, joining your prayers with God’s word so that you’re equipped for any season or situation you may face. On each page you will find a theme paired with a story from the Bible and a promise from God. Take time to read each set of scriptures, reflect on how they relate to the theme and connect with each other, and allow God to speak to you as you do so. Our hope is that through doing this you will discover the great joy that comes from living So Fresh & So Clean, as you allow Jesus to shape and direct your life.

1. The early church faced a problem of neglecting widows in daily food distribution. The Twelve appointed seven men to oversee this ministry so they could focus on prayer and preaching.
2. As a result of this change, the word of God spread rapidly and the number of disciples and priests following Christ greatly increased.

The power of thanksgiving

Thankfulness also brings encouragement, builds faith in others, qualifies one for more favors from God, leads to restoration, multiplication, healing, deliverance, blessings, God's glory, and can begin a new era.

What baptism does not do
Baptism does not remove physical dirt or change one's heart. It does not take away the desire to sin or assure salvation alone without obeying other commands. Baptism washes away sins, adds one to Christ and salvation, and gives new life, but it does not remove persecution, sickness, or death. One must continue in faith and obedience to have present and future salvation.
Before We Go Lesson 1

Thanksgiving,praise and worship
Music has played various roles in worship and religious ceremonies throughout history according to the Bible.

Thanksgiving is giving thanks from the heart out of a sense of being indebted. Praise strengthens us to face challenges and prepares the way for God. Worship should be reserved for God alone through acts like surrendering our bodies as living sacrifices. Music should be used cautiously as a catalyst for spiritual experiences rather than driving them.

BC&D-5: Followers of Christ
Study on Romans 12:1-2:
The Daily Surrender of a
Disciple/Follower of Christ
SUMMARY: The entire first 11 chapters of Romans are applied starting with these verses.
I CAN DECIDE TO LET GO: v.1 “present” is in the aorist tense and means a final action, we go back to and remember.
I MUST DIE DAILY: v. 1 “living sacrifice” this is a present active verb. This means I renew this once and for all decision, all day long, as I go through life. Tied to the altar daily.
MY LIFE MATTERS TO GOD: v. 1 “holy and acceptable” explains what flavor God wants in our lives: “holy” and the goal of life is driven by loving Him so much we want to please Him “acceptable to God”.
MY FIRST CHOICE: v. 2 “do not be conformed” this is the first imperative application in this section of Romans that applies truth to the lives of believers. This word means: God doesn’t want our lives shaped by His enemy (the world).
MY LIFELONG GREAT TASK: v. 2 “be transformed” this is the great word morphed. God explains that all transformation starts with a renewed mind (anakaino). The tense is present (constantly/ongoing) and passive (God does it to us) ana = back again; kaino = new; God resets our minds back to His Way by applying His Word to my life by His Spirit
GOD CONFIRMS HIS POWER IN ME: v. 2 “prove” this word dokimadzo means ‘proof after testing’. We will find the proof of God at work in us as we test out the “reset” button for our minds. Allow Him to renew us, and when He does, He proves Himself to us.

More from Michael Smith
Because He lives
This document discusses how Jesus's sacrifice allows believers to have full assurance in God. It notes that animal sacrifices under the old law could not truly take away sins, but Jesus's single sacrifice was sufficient. Through faith in Christ, believers no longer have their sins held against them but can boldly approach God. The document encourages Christians to prepare for Jesus's return by assembling together, stirring up love and good works, and obeying the gospel through faith, repentance, confession, baptism and faithfulness.
What Lies Ahead
Lesson by Mike Smith. Look at Paul's enthusiasm for the Christian life and desire for the heavenly realm. We need this too!
The God of Hope
Lesson by Mike Smith How can you focus on God? Remember what the God of Hope... that is Jehovah teaches us! Learn what the Creator should mean to us concerning hope.
Walking In The Light
This document discusses what it means to walk in the light based on several Bible passages. It means to live as Christ lived by keeping God's commandments and following His example. Christ is the source of our light, and we are commanded to walk as children of light by finding what pleases God in His word. The document encourages walking with God by agreeing with Him, walking uprightly and worthily in humility and love. It concludes by urging the reader to follow Jesus as the light of the world, not let Satan hinder them, and to hear, believe, repent of sins, confess Jesus, and be baptized into Christ.
The God Kind of Wisdom
This document discusses gaining godly wisdom. It begins by noting that wisdom should be the principle goal and comes from God. It then lists some blockers to wisdom like envy, self-seeking, and earthly desires. The document advocates developing godly qualities like purity, peacefulness, gentleness, mercy, and sincerity. It concludes by stating the godly wisdom involves righteous living guided by self-control according to God's word and the gospel of Christ.
Finding Jesus
The document discusses how to find Jesus. It says that while some say Jesus does not exist, others are interested in finding him. It then provides biblical references showing that people should seek Jesus with diligence and their whole heart. It notes Jesus pre-existed, was prophesied about, and was proven to have come as the leader and savior. The document concludes that Jesus can be found through studying scripture and coming to him, and that his message should be taught to all so they can be saved.
Living Upright In An Upside Down World
Lesson by Mike Smith Investigate the turmoil this world is facing and how we can live upright despite the confusion that is all around us. Live for Jesus my friends!
The truth is like a big mac!
The document compares the truth of God to a Big Mac hamburger in three ways:
1) You can only find the truth in the church, just as you can only find a Big Mac at McDonald's.
2) The truth has the right ingredients (no compromises) according to the Bible, just as a Big Mac has the standard ingredients.
3) Some people do not like the truth any more than some do not like Big Macs, but finding and accepting the truth, like eating a Big Mac, satisfies and provides sustenance for life.
THIS WORLD HAS NOTHING FOR ME
This document discusses the major decision of faith and lessons from Moses' example of faith. It summarizes that Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, chose to suffer affliction with God's people over Egypt's pleasures, and looked to the heavenly reward. By faith, Moses stood for justice, thought God would use him to deliver Israel, forsook Egypt without fearing the king's wrath, and endured invisible to his heavenly Father. The document encourages walking by faith like Moses, knowing this world offers nothing but Jesus does.
New Testament Commands 9
This document lists 177 New Testament commands from the books of Luke and John. Some of the commands include instructions to pray regularly, ask God for daily provision and forgiveness, give to those in need, beware of hypocrisy and covetousness, and remember God's commands to love others. Believers are told not to fear man but to fear God, and to be ready for Christ's return at any time.
You Have To Give Up To Go Up
Lesson by Mike Smith Do you want to live a life that excels? Jesus teaches how we must give up to go up!
How To Have A Great Gospel Meeting
This document discusses the importance of gospel meetings for teaching communities about Christianity. It provides several Bible verses to support continued teaching and fellowship as seen in the early church. The document encourages preparing for an upcoming gospel meeting by inviting people, creating materials to advertise, and being ready to participate and teach others. The goal is to provide opportunities for people to learn about Christianity and come to God, while glorifying Him in the process.
Spirituality 101
This document discusses the concept of spirituality as exemplified in the Christian life. It defines spirituality as a state where the soul is vitalized by the Holy Spirit and committed to religious values. True spirituality involves continual renewal and growth in knowledge of God through Bible study and prayer. Characteristics of a spiritual person include being directed by the Spirit, imitating Christ, having a thankful attitude, and caring for others. The conclusion encourages readers to commit to becoming more spiritual by offering spiritual sacrifices to God.
David's Many Giants
- The document discusses various lessons that can be learned from the life of King David, including his victory over Goliath as a young shepherd, sparing Saul's life when he had the chance to take revenge, listening to Abigail's wisdom to not kill Nabal in anger, and admitting his sin of adultery with Bathsheba after Nathan confronted him.
- It encourages learning from both David's triumphs and mistakes, recognizing and destroying the "giants" of fear, anger, lust, and revenge in our own lives, and being ready to face threats by putting on God's armor and using his word.
Learning to Lean on Jesus
A sermon by Mike Smith This is a short study on the 23rd Psalm seeking to be God's faithful servant/sheep in His fold.
Going and Doing

Quick to listen,Slow to speak, Slow to anger
God is good to all people and wants believers to interact properly with others. The document outlines three things we should do in our interactions: 1) be quick to listen and get all the facts before making decisions, 2) be slow to speak and think carefully before speaking to avoid harm, and 3) be slow to wrath since anger does not produce righteousness. Following these will help believers develop strong relationships through proper communication and behavior that honors God.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
