It aint rocket surgery

INTRO: With Certain jobs it helps greatly or may even require a certain Pedigree and intelligence, genetic disposition… but not with money, and not with spiritual authority and power

 

Just about anybody can become rich by doing the basics…

Just about anybody can become intimate, powerful and anointed by God simply by doing the basics…

I have worked for ministers, who crashed and burned, their kids crashed and burned, their grandkids crashed and burned… they had every opportunity to be a Crusher in the Kingdom of God… but they never learned the basics…

 

Why are people so willing to spend time going to church, going to seminars, going to conferences, listening to podcasts, making friends with the super spirituals… Involved in lots of eye catching ministries… willing to spend time on these tasks… Because it is more glamorous and seemingly more fruitful than just reading praying and obeying…

It’s like the get rich quick scheme… they almost if ever work out… but its more glamorous then taking 5% of your income out of every check and investing it in a simple account with compound interest. and being a millionaire in 30 years… its more glamorous than spending 5% of your time reading praying and obeying God every day….

 

 

What does the Book of Colossians cover and how does Paul end this letter…

 - FALSE TEACHING

 - Heretical philosophies

 - Varying opinions on how to get to please God

 - Demands and practices you must agree to

AND WHAT IS PAULS INSTRUCTION

 

He says vote republican… NOPE

Buy more ammo… Nope

Yell and scream at the idiots…NOPE

Post your pompous attitude on social media …NOPE

 

 

V. 2-4 GK - constant prayer, constant thanksgiving and constant alertness for constant ways God will use you to share the gospel…OR BE THE GOSPEL

THUS…

Pray for me so that I know how to share the gospel and don’t miss those moments! 

 

v. 2 Pray - intense face to face conversation, focused & aware

BUT NOT AWARE IN THE MINDSET OF SATAN IS AFTER US… OR AWARE OF THE END TIMES… BUT 

Alert: What is happening MY LITTLE world around ME

What is God speaking directly to ME TO BE THE GOSPEL
