Preaching Power Points
1. Psalm 66:18,
“Come and hear, all who fear God, and I will tell of what-
HE HAS DONE FOR MY SOUL.”
“ONLY THOSE WHO FEAR (REVERENCE) THE GOD OF SALVATION IN THIS WORLD KNOW THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR
FROM GOD IN THE NEXT WORLD.”
“GOD-FEARING TESTIFIERS DO NOT FOCUS ON THE TEMPORAL
AND THE MATERIAL, BUT UPON THE SPIRITUAL.” ***
***King David, who is the best of praisers, did not brag to others about what God had done for his dominions or riches, but about what God had done for his soul.
2. Jeremiah 3:12-13,
“…For I am gracious,” declares the Lord, “I will not be angry
forever. Only ac-KNOW-ledge your iniquity, that you have
transgressed against the Lord your God….”
“GOD COMMANDS US TO CONFESS OUR SINS TO HIM NOT THAT
HE MAY KNOW THEM, BUT THAT WE MAY KNOW
THEM OURSELVES.”
“EVEN AS WE CANNOT SEE THE REAL CORRUPTION IN OUR STOMACHS
UNTIL WE PUKE IT OUT OF OUR MOUTHS, SO WE CANNOT SEE
THE REAL SIN IN OUR HEARTS UNTIL WE CONFESS IT
OUT OF OUR MOUTHS TO GOD.”
3. I John 3:20,
“…for God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.”
Job 4:18,
“…and His angels He charges with folly.”
“WHILE GOD IS INFINITELY GREATER THAN OUR HEARTS AND KNOWS
ALL THINGS, MAN IS FINITELY SMALLER THAN GOD’S HEART
AND KNOWS VERY FEW THINGS.”
“GIVEN THAT GOD CHARGES HIS ANGELS IN THEIR PERFECT STATE
WITH FOLLY, MAN IN HIS IMPERFECT STATE COMPARED TO GOD
MUST BE THE ESSENCE OF FOOLISHNESS.” ***
*** I guess the Heavenly Father really does know best.”
4. Jeremiah 29:13,
“And you will seek Me and find Me , when you seek Me with
your whole heart.”
“WHEN THE HEART IS SEPARATED FROM THE BODY, THE BODY IS
DEAD, AND WHEN THE HEART IS SEPARATED FROM
THE PRAYER, THE PRAYER IS DEAD.”
“FAR BETTER IS A BROKEN, STUMBLING PRAYER WITH HEARTFELT
SINCERITY, THAN A ARTICULATE, ELABORATE PRAYER
WITH HEARTLESS INSINCERITY.”
5. Psalm 84:5 and 8
“How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee…
They go from strength to strength….”
John 1:16,
“For of His fullness we have all received, and grace
upon grace.”
“IF FOR ONE SECOND WE DID NOT RECEIVE GOD’S SUSTAINING
STRENGTH, WE WOULD BE DEAD.”
“IF FOR ONE SECOND WE DID NOT RECEIVE GOD’S SAVING
GRACE, WE WOULD BE DAMNED.”
6. James 4:7,
“Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
“ONLY HE WHO IS COMPLETELY SUBMITTED TO GOD CAN
RESIST SATAN.”
“HE WHO DOES NOT OPPOSE THE DEVIL INVITES HIM, AND HE
WHO DOES NOT MAKE THE DEVIL FLEE WILL
WALK WITH HIM.”
7. Job 15:16b,
“Man, who drinks iniquity like water.”
Matthew 5:6,
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.”
“NO APPETITE IS SO STRONG AS THAT OF THIRST. THE WICKED
QUENCH THEIR THIRST BY DOING EVIL, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS
QUENCH THEIR THIRST BY DOING GOOD.”
8. Psalm 66:18,
“If I regard wickedness in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.”
“NO PRAYER CAN FIND ITS WAY INTO HEAVEN WHEN SIN HAS
FOUND ITS WAY INTO OUR HEARTS.”
9. Psalm 24:3-4
“…and who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands
and a pure heart.”
“WE MAY BE FREE FROM THE EXTERNAL COMMISSION OF SIN,
AND YET BE DEFILED BY THE INTERNAL DESIRES OF SIN.”
“WE MAY DESIRE SIN IN OUR MINDS AND IMAGINATIONS, AND
YET PREACH AGAINST IT WITH OUR MOUTHS.”
“TO STAND BEFORE GOD ONE DAY WITH DIVINE APPROVAL,
WE MUST BE CLEAN-HANDED AND PURE-HEARTED.”
9. Romans 14:23,
“…and whatever is not from faith is sin.”
Psalm 97:10,
“Hate evil you who love the Lord….”
“FAITH CAUSES THE SOUL TO TOTALLY RELY AND CAST ITSELF
UPON GOD, WHILE SIN CAUSES THE SOUL TO TOTALLY
DEPART AND RUN AWAY FROM GOD.”
“THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD HATE SIN, AND THOSE WHO LOVE
SIN HATE THE LORD.”
10. Hebrews 7:25,
“Hence, also, He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through
Him, since He ever lives to make intercession for them.”
Romans 8:26,
“And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not
know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes
for us with groanings too deep for words.”
“ONLY BY THE INTERCESSION OF CHRIST CAN OUR PRAYERS
BE ACCEPTED IN HEAVEN, AND ONLY BY THE INTERCESSION
OF THE SPIRIT CAN OUR PRAYERS BE IMPASSIONED
WITH FERVENCY ON EARTH.”
“IN EITHER CASE, NO PRAYER CAN FIND ITS WAY FROM EARTH
TO HEAVEN BUT THAT PRAYER WHICH FIRST COMES
FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH.”
