Being Made
Preached Sunday, April 10,2005
We will either be made vessels of honor or vessels of dishonor fitted for destruction. By the spirit God has been put in us. If God has put the holy ghost in us we cannot fulfill wickedness, only His righteousness. If we have Satan's spirit we can only become more wicked. With this wisdom we fear God and with this understanding we depart from evil. If you hear Gods words you are of God and If you don't hear them you are not of God. Only his sheep can hear His voice. He will keep His elect even though they can hear voices or spirits of error. God gives us the ability to discern spirits to know if they are of God or if they are of Satan. Gods spirit is love, He removes stony hearts and gives us a heart of flesh to love one another.
