Life Giving Disciplines - Knowing the Power of Communication with God (Romans 8:5-8)

Roger Thrower, January 23, 2022
Part of the Life Giving Disciplines Series series, preached at a Sunday Morning service

Matthew 12:20 - a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory

The key to relationship is “time with.”

A Wandering, Wondering Mind
A Confused Mind
A Doubtful and Unbelieving Mind
An Anxious and Worried Mind
A Judgmental, Critical and Suspicious Mind
A Passive Mind

Our brains are wired for connection,
but trauma rewires them for protection.

Romans 8:14-16 - The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. 15 And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!” 16 For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, “You are God’s beloved child!”
