THE BATTLE FOR LIFE

2 Cor.5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a
new creation; old things have passed
away; behold, all things have become
new.
The thief does not come except to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have
come that they may have life, and that
they may have it more abundantly.

 Make no mistake the battle is always

and will forever be over LIFE!
There were 2 trees in the garden
War is satans greatest weapon.
WHY? The most efficient means of
death.

 Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and

his angels went forth to battle with the
dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought.
But they were defeated, and there was no
room found for them in heaven any longer.
Rev.12:7-8
NO ROOM Displacement `

 All spiritual warfare is waged over

one essential question:
WHO WILL CONTROL REALITY ON
EARTHHEAVEN OR HELL?

 Most of us are sitting under the

power and control of satan because
our perception of reality is not
based in heaven but in hell!
In the NT the words TRUTH and
REALITY are interchangeable.
See John 8:31-32

 Solomon and his reign are a prophetical type of the

coming Kingdom of God on the earth.
Solomons first test was a over the question of life.
1 Kings 3:16-28
Who had the highest regard for life?
Least regard for life would be careless
Our first test to see if we are true or pretenders is
over our regard for life!

2 Essential Aspects of Salvation

Thru Christ

Dead Ep.2:1-3

Alive

 The Gospel must include BOTH aspects to be

true and have power behind it.
For the kingdom of God is not in word but in
power. 1 Cor.4:20
The apostles and prophets foresaw a house of
true faith, NOT built by people but being built
OUT OF PEOPLE! You dont go to church,
church is something you become!

 Students will at sometime come across in a

science class what is called biotic potential
By definition it isthe inherent capacity of
an organism or species to reproduce and
survive
It is what makes Gods creation unique and
amazing!

 It is not known in the world of technology. No

machine can reproduce itself.
But in nature, God has built into life a Divine
order And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that
yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that
yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its
kind. And God saw that it was good. Gen.1:12

 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the

blade, then the head, after that the full grain
in the head. Mark 4:28
Growth cannot be made or forced but biotic
potential is enhanced when environmental
resistance is kept to minimum.
Matt.13:24-30; 36-43
