DISABLED

James 1: 22-24
by
Rev. Margaret Aranda, MD, Ph.D.
WELCOME: Fondest
hellos to all, and thank you for being here to learn more about the Word of
God. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there, to all our Father’s who
went home to be with Jesus, and to all the Moms who are both mother and father
to their children. God Bless You All!
I’d like to share 1 John
2:17: The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God
lives forever. I know that my Father still lives within me. If your father has
passed away, just look at your hands or your elbows. They are his, formed after
his body and genes. He is still in you and with you. Amen.
Today, we will reflect on all the words that
come out of your mouth.
Why?
Because each word either
brings us LIFE or DEATH.
By the time we are done, I
hope you have this great understanding: “Living by the Word” IS a new way of
living.
I pray that you consciously
choose to speak LIFE into your world, ONE WORD AT A TIME.
Every single word that you
speak brings you either life or death.
*****************
The same concept applies with
the food we eat. Heart disease is the #1
killer in America. Are your grandchildren going to have grandparents? Or will
they all have succumbed to diabetes, stroke, obesity, or heart attack?
With our food, every single
day, please envision that spoon of food, and know that every single spoon that
you eat either brings you LIFE or DEATH.
I have a whole chapter devoted to this concept in my newest book.
I pray that you consciously
choose to eat HEALTHY all the time, ONE SPOON AT A TIME.
*****************
Let’s say you started out
your day by waking up late for work.
Then you spilled coffee with
cream on your shirt, so at the last moment, you had to change it. Big show
stopper.
Then you got a flat tire on
the way to work.
Then the guy at triple A told
you that none of your tires were good. They ALL needed immediate replacing.
Continuing to work, you
spilled your coffee on the car console.
On the way home, you got rear-ended.
You are 8 months pregnant and
your Ob/Gyn told you to take off of work tomorrow, and keep your feet up! What
is a girl to do?
You dried your tears before
your husband got home.
Your husband came home
expecting the house to smell like dinner.
He was visibly disappointed
when the house did not smell like garlic and onions upon his arrival.
The kids were both visiting
with friends, as now it is summertime, and neither one of the dogs got up to
greet him.
You were just sitting on the
couch with your feet up, and he got very, very mad.
With tears dripping down your
face, you point to your belly, and then you told him about the rear-ending of
the car.
You didn’t mean to, but you
just started crying and crying while his stomach was audibly growling.
You know how a day like this
would normally go. Frustration, anger,
worry, and ‘feeling like a total failure’ would be the norm for most pregnant
women.
*******************
Today, we are going to hit
“Rewind”, using the Word of God to think of the Bible and what God says about
the situation.
At every spoken opportunity we
will learn to “respond” and not “react” to each different situation.
We will learn to use our
“Biblical Words,” much like a pre-school child learns to ‘use your words.’
In order for this to work,
you have to stop the dynamics that go from your brain to your mouth.
You need to re-route your
responses, so that your mouth is only speaking the Word of God into every
single situation. In this way, you will grow up in the Word, leaving behind the
carnal nature and living on a higher, more spiritual plateau.
You will be more pleasing to
God as you PROVE YOURSELVES to Him, and you will sharpen your two-edged Sword.
The Word of God will live, breathe, and invade your soul so that ALL you speak
in difficult situations is.....
The Word of God.
Let us look at the Book of
James, Chapter 1, verses 22-24:
22: “But prove yourselves
doers of the Word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
23: For if anyone is a hearer
of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a
mirror;
24: For once he has looked at
himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he
was.”
Let us Praise the Lord on High, who loves us, and
wants us to have hearts filled with love, praise, positivity, warmth, goodness,
and kindness. For our God is also El (The) Shaddai (THE ALMIGHTY GOD). Let us
treat Him as our God, and commit ourselves to live as He told us to live.
OPENING SONGS:
1. “El
Shadddai”
By Amy Grant
2. “As the
Deer”
By Eddie James
3. “I’m Yours”
By Hillsong
Our God has just begun to
work in us! Amen! Let us listen to the
Word of God:
SCRIPTURE READING:
HEBREWS 4:12
GENERAL SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY: To be used
whether you are having a “good” day or a “bad” day, this is a great verse to
say upon awakening in the morning, or even if you have arthritis or
leukemia/lymphoma (bone marrow problems):
Hebrews 4:12:
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints
and marrows, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
1. Lets look at Scriptures
that delve into the word of God into
more depth, to see what commonalities we may find:
Death and life are in the power of the
tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Moses
was educated in all the learning of the
Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and
deeds.
and my
message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
But I
will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those
who are arrogant but their power.
For the
kingdom of God does not consist in words but
in power.
*******************
2. Let us look at Scripture
that speaks of love:
You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any
grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your
neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.
You
shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
“Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but
to fear the Lord your
God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul,
1
Thessalonians 3:11-12
11: Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus
Our Lord, direct our way to you;
12: And may the Lord cause you to increase and
abound in Love for one another, and
for all men, just as we also do for you;
13: So that He may establish your hearts
unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of Our Lord
Jesus with all His saints.

SERMON:
Item by item, we are going to
show you how to be a DOER of the Word, how to speak LIFE into your life, and
how to please God by trusting in Him.
Bless us Lord, to open our ears and our eyes to Your Word, which lives
forevermore within us, where no man can take it away. Amen.

HOLY COMMUNION: Before we partake in Holy Communion, we assure that we
are:
(1)
Born Again, and
that
(2)
We have forgiven all others and that
(3)
We plan to be
Baptized in Water by immersion, as we die to ourselves while under the water,
and become alive to Christ as we are raised from the water to breathe anew. We
tell someone of this new life, to solidify and seal our fate as a Christian.
Please gather together your bread and wine, as the
body and blood of Christ, which He asked us to do when we gather in His name.
We do this in remembrance of Him. Go ahead and gather your items now, but hold
on to them until after our Tithes & Offerings.

AT ONCE
BEFORE TAKING HOLY COMMUNION:
By Cheri Keaggy
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
By Esther Mui
PREPARATION FOR HOLY COMMUNION:
SAY THE “OUR FATHER”, AS CHRIST TAUGHT US TO PRAY:
Let us take Holy Communion together, after saying the Our
Father, as Jesus told us to pray. The
Our Father has every prayer in it that needs to be said before Holy Communion. Say this out loud:
THE OUR
FATHER
Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy Will be done,
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we
forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory.
Forever and ever. Amen.
**********************
TOGETHER WE PARTAKE IN HOLY COMMUNION:
We proceed with Holy
Communion, in Remembrance of Christ’s death:
TAKING THE
BODY: We break off the
bread, eat it as His Body, and remember His death for us. Amen. As we chew it
and swallow it, it cleanses our bodies and our souls. (Eat the bread.)
TAKING THE BLOOD: We drink the wine that signifies His
blood, for the shedding of all sins, as Christ died and took our place for us
on The Cross. (Drink the wine.)
You may sit or kneel after
taking Holy Communion, remembering Christ’s death for you. Christ does not want
us to forget it. God is a forgiving God full of love and mercy for us, and He
left the sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus Christ, as the Way, the Truth, and
the Light. Close your eyes and feel your body being rejuvenated by the Power of
the Holy Spirit!
*********************
CLOSING PRAYER: Praise
Your Name, dear Jesus, and thanks be to you, Holy Father, for letting us live
in a place where we can worship and glorify your name on High!
Thank you for forgiving my sins, help me to forgive
others, teach me to love my enemies, and let my soul sing your praises day and
night!
Help us minister to those whom You send, and show us
your mercy and kindness every day, just as we show forgiveness, mercy, and
kindness to our fellow neighbor. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
*****************
DISMISSAL: You are dismissed. If you can, stay
and help just by praying that we bring more of the unsaved into our Ministry.
We need the disabled, the hurting, the suffering, the
mistreated, the misguided, the outcasts, the souls to save for all of eternity!
We need to watch every word that comes out of our
mouths, to ensure that it is consistent with the Word of God! Help us, Lord, to
“re-learn” how to “USE OUR WORDS!”
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
CLOSING SONGS:

THE GREAT COMMISSION: Go now, in peace, to spread the Gospel to
all nations, with blessings in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit. Amen.
DISMISSAL SONG:
By Third Day
Go now, and Spread the Word of God
to all
the Ends of the Earth!
************************
FORGIVENESS & SALVATION TO BE BORN AGAIN:
To be “born again,” please note the PLAN
OF SALVATION:
1. All
have sinned. (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8)
2. There
is a penalty for sin (Romans 6:23; John 3:18)
3. You
cannot save yourself (Titus 3:5; James 2:10)
4. Salvation
has been provided (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16; John 14:6)
5. The
conditions are simple: A. Repent (Luke
13:3); B Confess (1 John 1:9; Romans 10:9); C. Believe (Acts 16:31)
6. Now
is your time for a Decision (Joshua 24:15; 2 Corinth 6:2)
Do you repent for your sins?
Do you confess your sins to the Lord?
Do you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as the
Son of God, into your heart?
If you answer “yes” to all these questions,
you are now a Born Again Christian! We love you! Welcome to the body of Christ!
Confess it with your mouth, or write it here! You must say it out loud! Praise
the Lord!
