Parasites and Personality: How You Were Made Alive to God

-Isaiah Mast

Sunday, December 15, 2024

 

As human beings, we are fearfully and wonderfully made:

  • astounding
  • fragile
  • a work of art
  • a walking miracle
  • created in the image of God

"I am fearfully and wonderfully made, _____insert_your_name_here____."

Romans 6:13  "Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness."

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24  "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it."

Mark 12:30-31  "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

I want to be authentic, I want to me Me...but I don't know what that means...

  • Real
  • Alive
  • Authentic

The best way to get to know who you are is to get to know the one who made you...God!

Wonderfully and Fearfully made YOU!

Sometimes we feel like we are at war with ourselves...flesh vs spirit..

Parasites... sin...

How do we embrace becoming more christlike while still becoming ourselves?

*Jesus did not come to kill your personality; rather He came to make it alive for the glory of God and the love of the people around you.*

Submit your personality traits to God and He can use them to save souls!

What is the parasite in your personality?  Give it to God and allow Him to remove it and shape you:

  • insecurity
  • anxiety
  • stubborness 
  • pride
  • anger
  • lack of self-control 
  • etc...
