Melcena’s Words on Christian Themes

For the next few blogs I am going to send Pastor Scott’s teaching on forgiveness. Why? Because I feel that this is the most important understanding before all other except the fact that Jesus died and rose again. I am not going to add or take away any part of this teaching as I feel it is very important that we see it as it was presented by the Holy Spirit through Pastor Scott. If you wish to hear the entire teaching you may go to www.soulwinnerradio.com/PastorScottDavidson and listen or click on “details” for a download.

Introduction
The disciple gives him or herself as a sacrifice to God. Living for a period on earth without God then, a period with God on board 1 Cor. 3:16 & 17, 2 Cor. 6:19-20. That you would make the transition from becoming a believer as is written in John 6:29. With Christ on board to becoming an intentional learner who is a “living temple”, who has offered their body for the King’s service and yields to the Holy Spirit’s leadership and becomes a second by second Holy Spirit lead, disciplined learner who is a follower, then making the natural transition from becoming a disciplined learner, who is a follower, (i.e. disciple), to becoming a believer who is a disciple maker. Do you see the three-fold transition?
On earth without God.
On earth with God.
On earth following God.
On earth making disciples for God.
That process should not be stagnated. There is a natural flow to that and it doesn’t happen over night.
Disciples that are because of legalist duty last about twenty-four hours. Disciples who are fueled by gratitude and the understanding of Who God is and what God has done for them and what He requires of them remain throughout this life. Because it is movement out of celebration that He is the Lord. He is with me. You are moving on the celebration that I was lost, but, now I am found. You are moving out of the celebration that I was condemned, but, now I am justified. You are moving in the celebration that He is cleaning me up. He is transforming me. So in celebration of these Biblical truths and understanding of why you are hear on earth and what your purpose is. In other words, you were fashioned in the image of the Lord and you were redeemed from the curse of the law and the condemnation that came through our forefather Adam. But, now, you are in Christ and on earth and you are an ambassador for Jesus. Literally. It is not by application, it is by sovereign generation that you became a child of God. I am trying to encourage you to understand these truths and celebrate them.
This is a list of irrespirable foundational doctrinal truths:
The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity
The Doctrine of Creation
Grace
Salvation
Baptism
Forgiveness
Faith Without Works is Dead
The Biblical Family
Life in Heaven
Dependency on God through Prayer
The Deity of Christ Jesus
The Fall of Man
Repentance
Gift of Righteousness
Resurrection of Christ
Holy Communion
Doctrine of Worship
The Christian World View
Biblical Marriage
Civil Responsibilities to the Church
The Person of the Holy Spirit
Spiritual Separation from God
Faith
Justification By Faith
Reconciliation
The resurrection of the Righteous
Death to the Sinful Nature
Stewardship
The Future Promises
The Blessed Hope
Complete Joy
The Doctrine of Holiness
These truths, you should not only understand, but communicate to others. And be in a position to do that as the Holy Spirit leads, not in legalistic duty. Do you understand the difference? Legalistic duty becomes tiresome and wearisome. Holy Spirit Cooperation becomes an explosion of joy in your life. There is a big difference. Being Holy Spirit lead and duty is like night and day. It is like darkness and light.
My philosophy on discipleship and evangelism is that it is exclusively lead by the Holy Spirit because no man (or woman) leads another man (or woman) to Christ. It is a divine work from the beginning before the foundations of the world until the end. It is sourced by God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Men are just privileged to cooperate witnessing Christ Jesus and declaring His Truths. Because conviction of the Holy Spirit is a Work of God. Being given the privilege to believe is a Work of God. The believer choosing to believe is a Privilege of God. In other words, if you are an agent of the Lord, you are an ambassador for Christ, and God has given you the privilege to walk in that whether or not you choose to cooperate, the privilege is there, the offer of participation is there. It is clearly up to us, in a freewill manner, to choose to cooperate.

Pastor Scott Davidson recommends that we get audio Bibles. I understand why as I have the New Testament on CDs, now. Every morning I get up and listen to a couple or more chapters and my understanding is opened up more plus I seem to be able to remember more than I have just reading. The International Bible Society has a couple of really good audio Bibles at reasonable prices.
