The Elevated Life

Text:

• 2 Samuel 22:32-34 (NKJV) – For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.

Intro:

• I want to talk to you this morning about living your best life now
• You are not on your way to your best life —–> You can live it right now
• You are not waiting for your elevation —> you are rising as I am speaking
• Colossians 3:1 (NLT) – Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
• 2 Cor 3:18 (NIV) – And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Body:

1. The Elevated Life is Built on a Solid Foundation
   1. Psalm 62:5-8 (NKJV) – My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

2. Matthew 7:24-25 (NKJV) – Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

3. A Weak Foundation Will Weaken The Entire Building  —-> Jeopardized Faith

2. The Elevated Life Operates on a Supernatural Frequency
   1. Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) – I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

2. Isaiah 46:9 (NKJV) – Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, — He is our Source !!!

3. The Elevated Life Keeps in Step with the Spirit
   1. Acts 17:28 (NKJV) – for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

2. Galatians 5:25 (NKJV) – If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit

3. Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) – The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.
