Sermon Notes: First Love Series “Mind and Strength” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of our minds and with all of our strength. HEART AND SOUL = Emotional and Volitional response to the LORD MIND AND STRENGTH = Intellectual and Physical response to GOD Psalm 63 1.DESERTS ARE PLACES OF CLARIFICATION 2.DESERTS ARE TIMES OF UNUSUAL GROWTH 3.DESERTS ARE ALWAYS A PRELUDE TO DISCOVERING AN OASIS Biblical example of someone : DAVID A man after God’s own HEART JOSHUA A man SOUL-ED OUT for God SAMSON A man with women on his MIND and a man who relied upon his own STRENGTH to get the job done. DERAILED MIND READ Judges 13:24,25; 14:1-3; 16:1; 16:4-6; 16:15-17 DISTORTED STRENGTH READ Judges 14:6,19; 15:14; 16:17 Samson lies in a heap of biblical rubble as a vivid reminder that God will not share his glory or tolerate a DERAILED MIND or DISTORTED sense of STRENGTH. SO WHAT 1.How do we develop a MIND for God? 2.Where do we find our inner, abiding and supernatural source of strength?
