MESSAGE NOTES
SPRING CLEANING: PURIFY YOUR SOUL
Part 2: “Wash Away The Waste”
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9 NIV
YOU ARE NOT A BODY WITH A SOUL; YOU ARE A SOUL WITH A BODY.
3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.”
Exodus 20:3-4 NIV
And when you look up into the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars—all the forces of heaven—don't be seduced into worshiping them.
Deuteronomy 4:19 NLT
HOW TO GET RID OF THE IDOLS OF YOUR SOUL:
1. IDENTIFY THEM.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? 4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.
Psalm 24:3-4 NIV
2. TEAR THEM DOWN.
“Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
Judges 6:25b NIV
3. REPLACE THEM WITH GOD.
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Psalm 84:2 NIV
For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
Psalm 107:9 ESV
“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face. And the things of the earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus by Helen H. Lemmel
