★ MY SERMON NOTES
BIBLE STUDIES
@ Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN )
(now Church of Christ in Nations)
Gigiring, Hwolshe, Jos,
Plateau State, Nigeria
18th January, 1999

* Topic: The Cleansed Life
* Leader: Mr. Habila Dung

OBJECTIVE
→ To learn and know the importance of living a cleansed life for as long as we live

MEMORY VERSE
* 1 John 1:9 →"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

ASSIGNMENT
→ Read: John 13-15

INTRODUCTION
→ God does not use an unclean vessel for works of love and righteousness and power

* Is every miracle-worker cleansed by God? 

* Mark 16:17 → "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues."

* Some (miracle-workers) use counterfiet powers to perform signs and wonders; However, Some use God's divine power

* Cleansing proceeds in-filling (unless you are Holy, you cannot be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit)

* Double motives, un-confessed sins can hinder you from being filled with God's power

* God cannot fill those who:
(a) are carnally minded
(b) keep malice with others (hatred and bitterness)
(c) lack of trust in God and His Words
(d) entertain lustful desires (life, eyes & flesh)

* To be a filled vessel, you must be clean


* How can yon be able to recognize the vessel filled with God's power?
→ By the manifestation of the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)

* It is not everyone that falls down during prayer that is filled by the power of God → Some fall under the power of the anointing, while some fall under the power of the enemy


* When unclean Spirits come in contact with the power of God, they screamed, fell, etc
