Cultural Catastrophe

For Those Who Run Part 11

Pastor Kerry Wilson


2/31


For Those Who Run Part 11 Memorization helps us stretch our minds, and

permanently plants godly ideas so that in timesof stress we can reach in and grab them for a lifeline

If it matters to me It matters to Him

God doesnt hide things from me He hidesthings for me.

Jesus is the solution to the problem, mine, yoursand ours.

God will contend with them, that contend withme


3/31


For Those Who Run Part 11 I want to take a few minutes this morning to

re-affirm exactly where we are going. I want to

make sure that while anointed preaching

leaves us with thoughts and biblical phrasesthat remain with us through the week. Theintention is to paint a word picture based onthe entire scope of message.

Please answer these questions in your mind in

the affirmative or the negative.


4/31



The title of this series of sermons is CulturalCatastrophe.

Has this culture influenced my attitude andactions or the way that I respond to situations

of my life?

Has this culture infiltrated the church in these

responses and idealisms? Is the church in the middle of a remnant call

from God ?


5/31



Can I identify, in my life, the ways that I am

responding to this call ?

What are they? Last week we spoke about mountains or

thoughts, actions that have become

entrenched both in our lives and the church. I

brought to your remembrance that when God

says it is enough, it is enough.

For Those Who Run Part 11 Jeremiah 29

4Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto allthat are carried away captives, whom I have caused to becarried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;

5Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens,and eat the fruit of them;

6Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and takewives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands,that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may beincreased there, and not diminished.

7And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused youto be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it:for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.


7/31



8For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let notyour prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst ofyou, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which yecause to be dreamed.

9For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have notsent them, saith the LORD.

10For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years beaccomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform mygood word toward you, in causing you to return to this

place.

11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith theLORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you anexpected end.


8/31



11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of

my mouth: it shall not return unto me void,

but it shall accomplish that which I please, and

it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Captivity is over, the return is on, and Jesus is

coming.

God is thinking about me, I am going to start

thinking about Him..


9/31



Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, andsharper than any twoedged sword, piercing evento the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and ofthe joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thethoughts and intents of the heart.

His word will never return without accomplishingthat which it was sent to do, we need to align our

thoughts with His thoughts, otherwise it will berevealed by the Spirit of His word..


10/31



Vision, the ability to see things the way that

God sees them

We spoke last week about the return in the daysof Zerrubabel, Ezra, Nehemiah.

The Obstacles

The Vision CastThe Work by Effective Organization

Remnant Results by Return


11/31



This vision that we have been preaching about

must be explained one step further. Our vision

of the Victory Christian Center is not outside

of the revealed will of God for the Church.

This is a true statement and I want you to

embrace it this morning.

People believe in the leader before they

believe in the vision..


12/31



This is what has made our time so

treacherous, people arent examining the

vision, if they were they would run in many

cases because it doesnt align with the Truth.

People are following a leader and because

they believe in the man first, they then

embrace the vision.


13/31



John 17

4I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work whichthou gavest me to do.

5And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with theglory which I had with thee before the world was.

6I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest meout of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; andthey have kept thy word.

7Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast givenme are of thee.

8

For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; andthey have received them, and have known surely that I came outfrom thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thouhast given me; for they are thine.

Remnant Return always involves an adjustment wheredrift has occurred from the original vision.

Nehemiah 13

1On that day they read in the book of Moses in the

audience of the people; and therein was found written,that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come intothe congregation of God for ever;

2Because they met not the children of Israel with breadand with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he

should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse intoa blessing.

3Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, thatthey separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.


16/31



6But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in thetwo and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babyloncame I unto the king, and after certain days obtained Ileave of the king:

7And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evilthat Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamberin the courts of the house of God.

8And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all thehousehold stuff to Tobiah out of the chamber.

9Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers:and thither brought I again the vessels of the house ofGod, with the meat offering and the frankincense.


17/31



10And I perceived that the portions of the

Levites had not been given them: for the

Levites and the singers, that did the work,

were fled every one to his field.

11Then contended I with the rulers, and said,

Why is the house of God forsaken? And I

gathered them together, and set them in their

place.


18/31



15In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on thesabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine,grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they broughtinto Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them inthe day wherein they sold victuals.

16There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and allmanner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children ofJudah, and in Jerusalem.

17Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them,What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?

18Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evilupon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel byprofaning the sabbath.


19/31



23In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives

of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:

24And their children spake half in the speech of

Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, butaccording to the language of each people.

25And I contended with them, and cursed them, and

smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, andmade them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your

daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughtersunto your sons, or for yourselves.


20/31



29Remember them, O my God, because they

have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant

of the priesthood, and of the Levites.

30Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and

appointed the wards of the priests and the

Levites, every one in his business;


21/31



Up until this time I have basically dwelt on the

emotional mountains that captivate and

distract our people. There is substantial

healing inside the church for these mountains.

I want to move on to the cultural impact that

this system has created mountains for the

believer to siege and scale to destroy.


22/31



Mountains of Influence in our culture that need

Kingdom Invasion:

Family Genesis 2

Church Nature of the Spiritual

Education

Business

Government Revelation 5: 9,10

Science

Entertainment


23/31



Covenant

Genesis 2:23-24 (King James Version)

23

And Adam said, This is now bone of mybones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall becalled Woman, because she was taken out of

Man.

24Therefore shall a man leave his father andhis mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and

they shall be one flesh.


24/31



Matthew 22:30 (King James Version)

30For in the resurrection they neither marry,

nor are given in marriage, but are as theangels of God in heaven.

Why is the solidarity of marriage so

important?

Why do we concentrate on the structure of

the family so heavily?


25/31



Ephesians 5:22-25 (King James Version)

22Wives, submit yourselves unto your ownhusbands, as unto the Lord.

23

For the husband is the head of the wife, evenas Christ is the head of the church: and he is thesaviour of the body.

24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ,

so let the wives be to their own husbands inevery thing.

25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ alsoloved the church, and gave himself for it;


26/31




26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the

washing of water by the word,

27That he might present it to himself a glorious

church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such

thing; but that it should be holy and without

blemish.

28So ought men to love their wives as their own

bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.


27/31




29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; butnourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the

church:

30For we are members of his body, of his flesh,and of his bones.

31For this cause shall a man leave his father andmother, and shall be joined unto his wife, andthey two shall be one flesh.

32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerningChrist and the church.


28/31



Marriage is therefore a spiritual system that dependson covenant.

Not to rob a woman of her identity

Not to give men a right to abuse their place

But a system to reflect the nature of Christ and thechurch in the spiritual realm.

Marriages have to align themselves with the Word sothat the Church can be seen in its proper perspective.

Covering, Protection, Intimacy, Submission You will notice that the same problems the natural

marriage is experiencing, the spiritual union of Christand the Church is experiencing.


29/31



Genesis 3:16 (King James Version)

16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly

multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; insorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy

desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall

rule over thee.

Book of Song of Solomon


30/31



Malachi 2:15 (The Message)

13-15And here's a second offense: You fill the place ofworship with your whining and sniveling because youdon't get what you want from God. Do you know why?

Simple. Because God was there as a witness when youspoke your marriage vows to your young bride, andnow you've broken those vows, broken the faith-bondwith your vowed companion, your covenant wife. God,not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the

smallest details of marriage. And what does he wantfrom marriage? Children of God, that's what. So guardthe spirit of marriage within you. Don't cheat on yourspouse.


31/31



John 15:16 (King James Version)

16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,

and ordained you, that ye should go and bring

forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: thatwhatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name,he may give it you.

Pro-Creation or Natural Selection

The world has embrace Artificial Selection, the

church must not fall into the same trap in thespiritual sense.
