The Point Of No Return

Hebrews 12:16-17

Watch out for the Esau syndrome : trading away a lifelong gift, in order to satisfy a short-term appetite.

God can make a way, when there is no way!
The word impossible is not in God's vocabulary.

In Genesis 25
Esau traded his birthright for a bowl of soup.

The enemy has a pot of soup simmering for you.
Offered to you at just the right time : when you're worn down, stressed out, feeling unloved, etc.

You don't want what the devil's got in his crock-pot!
He's slow-cooking the death of your calling.

1. Your desires can keep you from your destiny!
Feeling good is NOT the highest good.
The temporary can keep us from the eternal.
The enemy doesn't want us to enjoy the marriage that God has planned for us.

2. When your stomach is empty your standards are lower!
When you're hungry you are more susceptible to make bad choices.
If you're unclear about your calling you'll put a lower value on your self.
Know your worth.
Jesus always spoke, "it is written."
Knowing God's words will help you to not want to sin.
God's word says. God's word says.
Before you go out, hide scripture in your heart!

I am chosen! I am loved! I am called! I am equipped!
My Father in Heaven loves me!

Difference between forgiveness & consequences!
God would much rather be blessing you.

Don't let your spiritual stomach get empty.

3. In all you do think follow through!
Learn to slow down & make wise choices.
Eternal life = death is not the end in the road, it's a bend in the road.
Think about the impact your actions will have on your family tree.
Look Up, live Up.
Seek a calling on your life.
Now yells louder, later lasts longer.
Think of the later.
Instant gratification will keep you back from ultimate satisfaction!

Your entire life can change in just a moment of time.

No one can un-eat the soup you've eaten.

It's better to do things God's way.
He's not trying to keep you from fun, He's keeping you from regret.

Your consequences remain, but God can restore & bless you if you choose to allow Him.
