POSITIONAL THEOLOGY

THE DIRECTION IS UP – EPHESIAN 1:19-22 & 2:5-6

NOT MUCH INFORMATION ON WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRIST IN HADES I PETER 3:19-20

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF SUFFERING –READ STATEMENT

PRINCE OF THE AIR –EPHESIAN 2:1-2

BEFORE THE TIME INDICATES THAT HELL FOR THE DEMONS AND SATAN IS FUTURE –MATTHEW 8:28-29 & REVELATION 20:1-3

SATAN AND DEMONS  BATTLE IN HEAVEN  -REVELATION 12:7-10 & DANIEL 10:12-13 10:20-21

WE ARE EXALTED IN HEAVENLY PLACES WITH CHRIST –EPHESIAN 2:6

THERE IS NO DIVINATION, SORCERY, OR WITCHCRAFT  THAT WORKS AGAINST GODS CHILDREN! NUMBERS 23:23-24 ISAIAH 54:16-17

SATAN MUST BE STRIPPED OF HIS ARMOUR AND HIS WEAPONS MUST BE DEALT WITH LUKE 11:18-23, EPHESIANS 6:15-18

 

TEMPTATION IN PERSPECTIVE

 MATT  4

 JAMES  1:1-4

     1.                  The function of temptation is always to trigger a choice.

2.                  Temptation provokes a definite stand or action.

3.                  Temptations must come into our experience weather we like it or not.

4.                  In real Christianity Bible promises become reality.  JOHN 10:10    ROM  8:1

5.                  How we respond to temptation determines weather or not we receive our promises.

6.                  Temptation is designed to bring out what really is in our hearts.

7.                  Temptation is designed to prepare us to receive what we long to have.

8.                  Let the devil come and find nothing!                JOHN  14:30

DEALING WITH THE WORLD SYSTEM

 There is an evil system that is always surrounding us. This system is always trying to put across its program.

1 COR  5:9-10             1 JOHN  2:15

 The world has an educational, and institutional system and a religious system. This system is moving ahead with a plan.  When you follow your own desires you become worldly. You can also be in the ministry through worldly motives.

 THE BELIEVER AND THE WORLD SYSTEM

 I.          “NOT OF IT” … John  15:19,            17:6,            14-16

               Doing what God wants no matter how small is the opposite of worldliness.

 II          “IN IT” …John  17:15

              When you wake up in the morning you are in the world.

              We must develop a biblical ethic of recreation and entertainment.

 III         “HATED BY IT”…John  15:18,  17:14

            Because you identify with Christ the world hates you.

THE POSITION OF THE SAINTS

OLD NATURE                                                    NEW NATURE

OLD MAN                                                           NEW MAN

ADAMIC NATURE                                              CHRIST NATURE

SIN NATURE                                                       NEW NATURE

FLESH                                                                  SPIRIT

The flesh is still with us but the old man is dead

 COL 3:9,            COL 3:1,      COL 3:5,      ROM 6:6-14.

 Remember we have put off the Old Man

 EPH  4:17-23.

 Our Exalted position in Christ.

 EPH 1,    I COR 10:31

 We are the salt and light of our Lord!

 MATT 6:13-16,    II COR 10:3-5

  

 

THE WILDERNESS COMPLEX

 PROV  20:21

 God will not dump the whole package on us until we’re mature enough to handle it.

 They could easily forget God-attributed good life to a source other than God.

 They could provoke God by trying His patience.

 They could test and tempt Him.

 PHIL  4:12-13

 God’s ultimate desire is to bring us prosperity and blessing.

 JER  33:8-9

MATT  5:14-16

 Promise             =           Inheritance

Principle             =           Commandment

Problem             =           Wilderness

Provision            =            Land            DEUT  8:12, 12-18

Another Lap                 Our initial negative response to the problem leads to an extended stay in the Wilderness.

Bleached Bones            Repeated negative response cause us to punish in the Wilderness

Stand and Enter            If  “our response” is positive and we choose to stand on God’s principles through the problem, we are able to enter our provision without delay.
