Statements of Truth (Read aloud on a consistent basis)

I recognize that there is only one true and living God.  Exodus 20:2-3, Who exists as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that He is worthy of all honor, praise, and worship as the Creator, Sustainer, the Beginning and the End of all things.  Revelation 4:11, Revelation 5:9-10, Isaiah 43:1, 7, 21

I recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us.  John 1:1, 14, I believe that He came to destroy the works of Satan.  1 John 3:8,  He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public display of them, having triumphed over them.  Colossians 2:15

I believe that God has proven His love for me, because when I was still a sinner Christ died for me.  Romans 5:8, I believe that He delivered me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to His kingdom, and in Him I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.  Colossians 1:13-14

I believe that I am now a child of God.  1 John 3:1-3, I believe that I am seated with Christ in the heavenlies.  Ephesians 2:6, I believe that I was saved by the grace of God through faith, that it was a gift and not the result of any works on my part. Ephesians 2:8,

I choose to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Ephesians 6:10. I put no confidence in the flesh, Philippians 3:3, The weapons of my warfare are not of the flesh.  2 Corinthians 10:4. I put on the whole armor of God.  Ephesians 6:10-17,  I resolve to stand firm in my faith and resist the evil one.

I believe that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth, Matthew 28:18, and that He is the head over all rule and authority.  Colossians 2:10.

I believe that Satan and his demons are subject to me in Christ because I am a member of Christ’s body. Ephesians 1:19-23, I therefore obey the command to resist the devil, James 4:7, and I command him in the name of Jesus to leave my presence.

I believe that apart from Christ I can do nothing, John 15:5,so I declare my dependence on Christ.  I choose to abide in Christ in order to bear much fruit and glorify the Lord.  John 15:8, I announce to Satan that Jesus is my Lord, 1 Corinthians 12:3. and I reject Satan in my life.

I believe that the truth will set me free, John 8:23,and that walking in the light is the only path of fellowship. 1 John 1:7. Therefore, I stand against Satan’s deception by taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ.  2 Corinthians 10:5.I declare that the Bible is the only authoritative standard.  2 Timothy 3:15-17, I choose to speak the truth in love. Ephesians 4:15,

I choose to present my body as an instrument of righteousness, a living and holy sacrifice, and renew my mind by the Word of God in order that I may prove that the will of God is good, acceptable and perfect.  Romans 6:13, Romans 12:1-2,

I ask my heavenly Father  to fill me with His Holy Spirit, Ephesians 5:18,to lead me in all truth John 16:13, and to empower my life so that I may live above sin and not carry out the desires of the flesh.  Galatians 5:16. I crucify the flesh and walk by the spirit.  Galatians 5:24.

I renounce all selfish goals and choose the ultimate goal of love. 1 Timothy 1:5 I choose to obey the greatest commandment, to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, and mind, and to love my neighbor as myself.  Matthew 22:37-39.

Have you made a declaration in your life to push away Satan and his deceptive ways. Pastor Tim challenges us to be intentional about our life and resist the things that are not of God. Pastor Tim often recites a quip, “The most troubling thing about deception is that it’s deceiving” Be on your guard trust your life in Christ and protect your mind from the Deceiver.

This week’s scripture references (all verses quoted in New King James Version unless noted):

- 1 John 1:5-7
- Luke 11:23
- John 14:6
- 2 Corinthians 11:3-4
- John 8:24

- Ephesians 4:15, 25

Below are some excerpts and guides from this weeks teaching to help you renounce Satan in your life.

As we go through the steps of renouncing Satan and all his works and ways, we can ask for God’s help by praying in the following way:

Dear heavenly Father, I ask You to reveal to me all the occultic practices, false religions, and false teachers with which I have knowingly or unknowingly been involved.

- Write down everything God brings to mind.  After you are sure your list is complete, pray the following for each practice, religion, and teacher:

Lord, I confess that I have participated in ___________________

I ask Your forgiveness, and I renounce _____________________

as a counterfeit to true Christianity.

Don’t feel bad if you must confess several things.  Many hurting people like you and me have been misguided in a world which is filled with cults, false religions, and false teachers.

Satan doesn’t want us to be free, and he will do whatever he can to keep us from completing these steps to freedom.

A few tips from Pastor Tim to walking and balancing life in God.

1. Don’t charge! Be able to pay for your purchase before buying
2. Don’t consolidate your bills (create better habits)
3. Don’t buy impulsively
4. Establish a budget. There exists a proven principle which says, “If you can’t live on $500 per month—you couldn’t live on $5,000 per month.”
5. Pay yourself first (after God, of course)
6. How to pay monthly bills
1. Church
2. Savings
3. Insurance for security
4. Food
5. Shelter
6. All other things
7. Investing—study this area

A balanced life is so important that we must learn to work at it!

This Sunday is going to be another great time you don’t want to miss.

National Sanctity of Human Life Day will be this Sunday. To help bring more attention to this less observed day,  we will have information available covering the area of choosing life.

After our worship and teaching on Sunday we will be resuming our monthly Potlucks. This month our theme is “Tailgate.” Since the Royal Rangers are hosting the church pinewood derby races as well as the SuperBowl just around the corner, this theme fits perfectly. This means you should bring something that you might bring to a Tailgate party. BBQ, sandwiches, finger foods, etc. Use your imagination. Just be sure to bring enough food to feed about 10-15 people.

Our general guidelines to help you know what to bring are:

If your last name begins with A-M: Bring a Main dish and a Salad/side dish
If your last name begins with N-Z: Bring a Main dish and Dessert

Hope you can make it out.

If you’re on facebook, let us know your coming.  http://www.facebook.com/events/234627103286827/

This weekend is going to be a joyful time to reflect on 2011 and welcome in 2012.

First up on Saturday, December 31, at 7pm. We will be having our annual New Years Eve Candlelight Service.
This isn’t an ordinary service by candlelight. The entire time will be that of testimonies of what God has done in each our lives this year. To reiterate from past years, a testimony is not a time to give the devil the credit of all the bad stuff that has happened and then tag on at the last part that God pulled you thru. God is great at helping us through hard times and that is amazing. This service is a time to point out the great things God has done. Essentially focusing on the positive, good points. Some of you may think you don’t have any good points to share. However if you look hard enough, there were always situations and times God was either encouraging you or teaching you.
This service is one of the best experiences of the year. It is possibly the greatest way to prepare your mind and soul and inspire you for the new year.

Then on Sunday our regular worship service time will be at 11am. Another great way to start off 2012 by worshiping together with other believers and focusing yourself on God.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend.
