Sunday Morning with Pastor Henderson - "The Natural Man" - 5/1/16

The Natural Man


Scriptures

Isaiah 55:8-9
8  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Galations 5:16-21
16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 2:14
14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

John 3:5-6
5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Jeremiah 17:9-10
9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10  I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Ephesians 2:1-2
1  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:


Main Points

If you don't pray you will do everything that the flesh wants to do.

Sin and condemnation keep you from meeting God like you are supposed to.

You need to get rid of the natural man by being born again of the water and the spirit.

Seek Jesus as your savior!
