From The Inside Out

From The

Inside Out

Phillippians 1: 12-13

Pastor Dan Wilkerson

What do I have to find within me?

1.  I must find within me the spiritual purpose for what is happening to me (vs. 12-13).

2.  I must develop a personal conviction that tough times make me spiritually stronger (1 Peter 1:6-7).

A.  1 Peter 1:6-7 – Troubles build my faith.

B.  James 1:2-4 – Troubles are a way to grow spiritually.

C.  (Paul) Romans 5: 3-5 – Troubles build hope in God.

3.  I must determine within me that the present and future will govern my life and not the past (vs. 13-14).

4.  I must determine to say “No” even before I find myself in the situation of having to say “No” arrives (1 Corinthians 6:12).
