WEEK #3 June 26-July 1, 2007

MONDAY

Dean Sherman is with us from here in Salem, Oregon to teach on Spiritual Warfare, or recognizing the S(s)pirit factor in the things we experience in life.

He talked about hidden treasure and how we need to change our thinking. We don't need to try to "sell" a field to unbelievers . . . we need to live our lives, filled with His Spirit, that makes them want to sell all they have to purchase the field for the treasure, Jesus.

There are two power systems in our society . . . the Kingdom and the WORLD. Many in the WORLD are living Kingdom principles, and many in the Kingdom are living WORLD principles. There is a battle going on within the mind . . .

If my belief system does not include the supernatural, I will tend to become too reactive toward others. We need to be:

Faithful to God
Gentle to people
Aggresive in the heavenlies

If I'm not aggressive in the heavenlies, I will be aggresive (harsh) with people.

"For we battle not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of darkness and against the spiritual forces of evil in the high places." Eph 6:12
