Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: Living By Every Word That God Speaks Date: 06-02-2018 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central message is that Christians must strive to be an exact reflection of Jesus by continually renewing their minds to think from God's perspective. This requires constant spiritual discipline, as illustrated by Jesus's obedience to the Father's will even when opportunities for ministry were present. Ultimately, this transformation involves presenting one's body and mind as living sacrifices to God, allowing the Holy Spirit to change one's thinking to align with God's good, acceptable, and perfect will.

Seeing things from God's point of viewUsing J.B. Phillips' paraphrase of Colossians 1:9, the speaker emphasizes that spiritual wisdom means learning to look at every situation from God's perspective rather than man's viewpoint.Colossians 1:9

Jesus relying on the Father in CapernaumIn Luke 4, despite a massive revival and open doors in Peter's town, Jesus withdrew early in the morning to seek the Father's direction rather than relying on human common sense.

Renewing our minds through Romans 12True transformation requires presenting our bodies and having our minds renewed away from worldly values so we can prove God's perfect will.Romans 12:1–2

The true difference between the wicked and the righteousQuoting Habakkuk 2:4 from the Living Bible, the speaker points out that wickedness is trusting in oneself, while righteousness is living in constant dependence on God.Habakkuk 2:4

Waking up as a disciple to listenIsaiah 50:4 shows that the secret to Jesus' ministry was the Father waking His ear every morning so He could listen as a disciple and sustain the weary.

Man shall live by every word of GodJesus answered temptation in Matthew 4:4 by declaring that spiritual life requires constant dependence on the ever-proceeding word of God, much like physical breathing.

The lesson behind the withered fig treeJesus cursed the fig tree not out of temper, but to teach His disciples about faith, prayer, and the vital necessity of forgiving others.

The pattern of Genesis 1The creation account in Genesis 1 illustrates how God's word and the Holy Spirit work daily to bring light and transformation out of darkness and chaos.

The story of Mary and MarthaLuke 10 teaches that much Christian service can become a distraction if it keeps us from listening to the one needful thing, which Mary chose.Luke 10:38–42

Learning dependence through the wilderness mannaIn Deuteronomy 8, God humbled the Israelites with hunger and fed them with manna to teach them that human beings live by everything that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

Walking far to reach one personJesus traveled long distances to Tyre and Sidon simply to heal a Canaanite woman's daughter, showing that God's servants should follow the Holy Spirit's promptings rather than mere statistics.

A tongue of a disciple to sustain the wearyBy maintaining the lifelong habit of listening to God each morning, believers are equipped with a word from the Lord to help and sustain weary people around them.
