What Causes You To Sin?

GERMS don’t cause sickness.

A weak immune system does.
In the same way, temptations don’t cause you sin.
Instead, a weak spiritual immune system causes you to sin.
No, I’m not referring to your lack of religiosity. A strong spiritual
immune system isn’t about religion but about relationships. Specifically,
loving relationships.
Let me put it in another way. To make your physical immune system
strong, you need nourishing food. To make your spiritual immune system
strong, you need nourishing love.
And when your spiritual immune system is strong, it’ll be more difficult
to fall into sin.
Get ready. Because today, you will be equipped to win your battles.
Welcome to our explosive brand-new series, Angels and Demons.

May your dreams come true,

Talk 1: Temptations

In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good
and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and
honorable. (Philippians 4:8 GNT)

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point
of shedding your blood. (Hebrews 12:4 NIV)

Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest
they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. (Matthew 7:6 ESV)
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…
(Romans 8:1 NIV)

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do
with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. (1 John
4:18 ESV)

What Do We Do with All Our Superstitions?

ARE you afraid of number 13?

Do you get the heebie-jeebies when a black cat crosses your path?
Do you light up fireworks on New Year to drive away evil spirits?
Do you a carry a rabbit’s foot for good luck? (Gee. That rabbit wasn’t
very lucky.)
Do you believe in Horoscope?
Or fortune Telling?
And if you’re Chinese, do you do Feng Shui? And venerate the dead?
Is there any good in these practices? Or do we reject them outright?
You’ll be surprised at what you’ll hear today.
Be immensely blessed.

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez

Talk 2: Superstitions

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own
understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight
your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV)

Put all things to the test: keep what is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21 GNT)
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong
motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. (James 4:3
NIV)

My grace is all you need. (2 Corinthians 12:9 GNT)

Personal Reflection and Group Discussion:

What superstitions—and fears-- do I need to surrender to God?

Are We Being Spiritually Oppressed?

“BO, we’re being spiritually attacked,” she said, her voice almost trembling
with fear.

“Why do you say that?” I asked my friend who was serving in our Life
in the Spirit Seminar. (That was what we called our initiations seminar when
dinosaurs roamed the earth.)

“Three of our Music Ministry members called up to say they couldn’t

make it today for all sorts of reasons. One got sick. The other had a flat
tire. And our lead singer had a fight with her boyfriend. Bo, we need to cast
out demons…”

Question: Were we really being attacked by evil? In Charismatic

Linggo, we called this “Spiritual Oppression.” Were we?

I know God will speak to you today.

Have an awesome Feast!

May your dreams come true,

Talk 3: Oppression

10
Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his
mighty power. 11 Put on all the armor that God gives you, so that you will be
able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks. 12 For we are not fighting
against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly
world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age. 13 So put
on God's armor now! Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to
resist the enemy's attacks; and after fighting to the end, you will still hold
your ground.
14
So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist, with
righteousness as your breastplate, 15 and as your shoes the readiness to
announce the Good News of peace. 16 At all times carry faith as a shield; for
with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil
One. 17 And accept salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword
which the Spirit gives you. 18 Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help.
Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason, keep alert and
never give up; pray always for all God's people. 19 And pray also for me, that
God will give me a message when I am ready to speak, so that I may speak
boldly and make known the gospel's secret. 20 For the sake of this gospel I
am an ambassador, though now I am in prison. Pray that I may be bold in
speaking about the gospel as I should. (Ephesians 6:10-20 GNT)

Don't sacrifice your children in the fires on your altars; and don't let your
people practice divination or look for omens or use spells or charms, and
don't let them consult the spirits of the dead. (Deuteronomy 18:10-11 GNT)

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and
follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. (1 Timothy 4:1 NIV)

"Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by
them. I am the LORD your God." (Leviticus 19:31 NIV)
"I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to
prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people.
Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God."
(Leviticus 20:6-7 NIV)

Personal Reflection and Group Discussion:

learned from the message into your daily life?

This Is Your Feast Day

“BECAUSE you’re a saint!”

I said this to one guy and he said, “Gosh Bo, I’m the farthest thing to
a saint. My life is one big mess. Name a sin and I’ve done it. Sorry Bo, I
have been amiss in the Loving God department…”

I told him, “We don’t become saints because we love God; We become
saints because God loves us.”

On All Saints Day, we celebrate two kinds of saints. Big “S” and small
“s”. Big “S” are canonized Saints. They love us and pray for us. I call Jesus
my Chairman of the Board, since He’s the Owner of my life, and my Board of
Advisors are Mama Mary, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St.
Benedict, and a few other amazing Heroes of Faith. Me? I’m the CEO. With
the Chair’s guidance, I make the decisions and execute His desires. My
Advisers cheer me, support me, and inspire me.

The small “s” include you and me, anyone who follows Jesus.

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez
