CHAPTER 5 THE CONSEQUENCES OF DISOBEDIENCE I Faith and obedience are inseparable because obedience is evidence of true faith. Warning: Some people subconsciously reason that any consequence of their disobedience will be

outweighed by what they perceive as the immediate gain of their decision. *We should be careful o

thinking 

God does accept us if we repent.

Exodus 20:20 Warning: Do not replace obedience with r easoning Purity of childlike obedience like Abel True faith operates out of obedience rather than a sense of right and wrong.

Warning: Anger fueled with pride, and pride rejects God’s will or ways in order to cling on it own. THE HIGHEST FORM OF WORSHIP IS OBEDIENCE

Although the law of the Spirit of life makes us free from the law of sin, the law of sin remains intact protection or mastery of it comes from true faith or obedience. Obedience is the evidence of true faith Sin is mastered through obedience Warning: If they rebel against God’s direct authority, they reduce the image, authority and power of God to a more manageable level and thus increasingly becoming irreverent.

CHAPTER 7 BEWITCHED

The light of God’s Word exposes deception and discerns the thoughts and intentions of the hear men.

Radical disobedience opened the door to a radical plague but it will be stopped by radical obedienc Warning: Rebellion or disobedience places a person under witchcraft

Focused on this: Whenever we disobey what God has clearly revealed to us, we bring ourselves und

the influence of a witchcraft curse. Why? Because rebellion is witchcraft *Disobedience opens us to

troubles and deceptions

Deceived captives blame others in order to hide from their own disobedience, and doing this blinds

them to exactly what they need to be free. *Resist the Devil (James 4: (NIV)7 Submit yourselves, the God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.) Obedient people also suffered by God’s will the difference we could see is that in those who are

obedient there is spiritual progress. Their hardships may be trials from which God will receive glory

Message: If you are in disobedience, may you use these truths to judge yourself and get back on th path of life.

Don’t judge or expose something you’re not sure of. 1 Timothy 5:19 a witness is one who can pro evidence, not hearsay. Give great honor, and honor will be your portion. Seek to honor the men and women who labor among you in the Wor d of God.
