Summary

True spiritual progress is measured by the continuous revelation of unChristlike areas in one's own life, requiring daily repentance. The speaker emphasizes that one must constantly compare oneself only to Jesus Christ, not to other believers, to avoid stagnation and pride. God's blessing is not proven by ministry success or external validation, but by the ongoing process of self-examination and repentance.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Is there anything in your life unchristlike?A thorough house cleaning requires asking the Lord for revelation on anything in our lives that cannot be done in fellowship with Jesus Christ.

Evaluating television and daily integrity by Christ's presenceIf you watch television programs or sign documents that Jesus could not be a part of, your Christianity is shallow and your repentance incomplete.

How to know God is truly blessing your lifeTrue spiritual progress and God's blessing are proven not by outward success or numbers, but by the fact that God regularly shows us unchristlikeness in our lives.

Does God blessing a ministry mean He approves of the servant?People often wonder if a ministry's fruitfulness proves God's approval, such as the question of women preaching despite biblical instructions.

The lesson of Moses hitting the rockWhen Moses struck the rock instead of speaking to it out of anger, water still flowed because God loved the thirsty people, not because Moses was obedient.

God deals with disobedience despite the blessingAfter the people were blessed, God disciplined Moses severely by barring him from entering the land of Canaan for disobeying His word.

The self-life is like a huge onionThe author lives in daily repentance because discovering successive layers of unchristlikeness is the true proof of God's blessing.

Stop comparing yourself with other believersComparing yourself to others stops your progress and breeds pride, whereas keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus continually reveals areas to repent of.

Killing the giants and their little childrenJust as old giants require many blows and their little children must not be spared, we must root out subtle selfishness and small hurtful words.
