Walk By Faith, Not By Feelings

·47 min·4 clips

Jesus says even the least believer is greater than John the Baptist—what does that mean for your identity?

The episode begins with an introduction to the theme of living in the kingdom of light and crushing darkness, emphasizing the renewing of the mind for freedom. The speaker starts with a pop quiz about an earlier message on unshakable identity, listing five key points: loved, chosen, special possession, holy nation, and royal priests. He then transitions to the main scripture from Luke 7:18-28, discussing John the Baptist's imprisonment and doubt. A key insight is Jesus' statement that even the least in God's kingdom is greater than John, which the speaker unpacks as a result of the new covenant. He explains three privileges of new covenant believers: direct access to God, indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and assurance of salvation. The sermon shifts to spiritual warfare, sharing a pastor's vision of demons reacting to Jesus' resurrection and their plan to deceive believers. The speaker cites Romans 8:31-39 to affirm God's love and protection. He then details four enemy strategies: intrusive thoughts, neutral/negative emotions, unfortunate circumstances, and deceived people, offering practical responses like taking thoughts captive and choosing faith over feelings. A personal anecdote illustrates losing enthusiasm after a sermon, highlighting the need to walk by belief. The speaker reframes the question 'how are you?' to focus on God's perspective, encouraging boasting about Christ rather than venting about life. The episode ends with a song about belief, an invitation to accept Jesus, and a prayer for sealing truth in hearts.
