Settle For Shallow

2022-06-13

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Romans 12:2 NLT “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none. Then it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and in order. Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before.”‭...

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Romans 12:2 NLT

“When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none. Then it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and in order. Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12:43-45‬ ‭NLT‬‬

You settle for shallow-

You have a lot of information, but not as much revelation.

“So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23:3‬ NLT

Your faith is more flaky than faithful.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Your faith is shallow.

“I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:15-17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” ‭‭John‬ ‭20:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel‬ ‭36:26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭145:16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭17:20‬ ‭NLT‬‬
