The Scripture makes it very clear that as we focus on purity we experience power from above. Paul stressed this in his final letter to his understudy Timothy. “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter [i.e., “iniquity”], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work” (2Ti 2:21). How? The process is simple: God the Father works through the Son. The Son works through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit works through the Word. The Word works through the believer. The believer works through living faith.

Love the Battle Session 5
From Series: "Learning to Love the Battle -- Tulsa, 2021"
Gene taught at the Tulsa Bible Conference hosted by Heritage Bible Church, Catoosa, OK Aug 27–29, 2021; the theme and title came from "The Lord is with me like a mighty champion..." (Jer 20:11). Why should we love the battle? 1) Because God is faithful and can turn our suffering into victory and our cursing into blessing. 2) We can love the battle because nothing can touch us without God’s permission. 3) We can learn to love the battle because God’s grace and truth is sufficient for our every need.
