The Deep End pt4. ~ Pastor Micah Pelkey

John 7 

37 On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus was standing in the temple courtyard. He said loudly, “Whoever is thirsty must come to me to drink. 

38 As Scripture says, ‘Streams of living water will flow from deep within the person who believes in me.’”

The devil doesn't want you to go deep!

Your flesh would rather you stay shallow!

Ephesians 6

11 Wear the full armor of God. Wear God’s armor so that you can fight against the devil’s clever tricks. 

12 Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. 

13 That is why you need to get God’s full armor. Then on the day of evil, you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing.

14 So stand strong, with the belt of truth tied around your waist. And on your chest wear the protection of right living. 

15 And on your feet wear the Good News of peace to help you stand strong. 

16 And also use the shield of faith. With that you can stop all the burning arrows of the Evil One. 

17 Accept God’s salvation to be your helmet. And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God. 

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times. Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready. Never give up. Always pray for all God’s people.

Hebrews 10:25 - We must not quit meeting together, as some are doing. No, we need to keep on encouraging each other. This becomes more and more important as you see the Day getting closer.

Hebrews 13:17 - Obey your leaders. Be willing to do what they say. They are responsible for your spiritual welfare, so they are always watching to protect you. Obey them so that their work will give them joy, not grief. It won’t help you to make it hard for them.
