These are the notes I took at this service...
John - from Gains ville Georgia
2 Chronicles 25
Reformation
God deals with the heart
a perfect heart
a purified heart through Christ
a pure heart - where there is no Holy living there is no Holy Ghost.
a seeking heart
a pursuing heart
a purposeful heart
Losing interest in this world and competitors for your heart
The consequences of dividing affections:
A growing confidence in the flesh
-methods
-impulsive
-human methods etc.
-human strength
1. How much time do you spend alone with God in secret prayer daily? Average is 6 minutes
2. How much time do you spend watching TV? Average is 2.5 hours
God does nothing apart from prayer
Divided affections will result with open sin.
If you have secret idols in your heart they will result in open sin.
#1 sin for women is bitterness
#1 sin for men is sexual lust
A secret sin on earth is an open scandal in heaven
bitterness, hidden greed
Give according to your income before God gives income according to your giving.
A sign of a divided heart is not being teachable
-can't recieve correction
-can't take correction from kids, spouse or others.
A divided heart will make a man/woman to rely increasingly on human reasoning:
-people think
-people say
-what I think & want
A divided heart will result in prideful boasting around family and freinds. Boasting is the language of pride.
God will not harm you unless you intentionally rebel.
A divided heart will bring :
-judgement of other people
-your sin will never just affect you. It will affect other times. Many times it will be your spouse and children that are affected by your sin.
-It will have an affect on your loved ones
