1/2

Each of us can only go as far as God has given us permission to go.

Romans 13:1

King James Bible Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but ofGod: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Weymouth New Testament Let every individual be obedient to those who rule over him; for no is a ruler except by God's permission, and our present rulers have had their rank and power assign

to them by Him.

Let your mouth speak only blessings.

Ephesians 4:29

International Standard Version Let no filthy talk be heard from your mouths, but only what isgood for building up people and meeting the need of the moment. This way you will administer grato those who hear you. KJV Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that whis good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

GOD'S WORD Translation Don't say anything that would hurt [another person]. Instead, speak what is good so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help thowho hear you.

Matthew 7:2

NIV For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it wbe measured to you.

New Living Translation For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judgis the standard by which you will be judged.

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him,Follow me.

44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. 45 Philip found Nathanael and toldhim, We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets alsowroteJesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

46Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?Nathanael asked.

Come and see, said Philip.

47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him,Here truly is an Israelite in whom therno deceit.

48How do you know me? Nathanael asked.

Jesus answered,I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.

49 Then Nathanael declared, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.

50 Jesus said,You believe[h] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greaterthings than that.51 He then added,Very truly I tell you,[i] you[j]will see heaven open, and theangels of God ascending and descending on[k]the Son of Man.

Jesus knew that whatever He spoke to, would rise up in people.

We, people tend to speak to and about the flesh, depicting every crack, spot and dent in the otherpersons character: If you put this thing right and change that, then I will let you in my circle and

accept you.

7/29/2019 Grace and King David

2/2

God is not like that. HE speaks to the treasure in a person and releases it from the captivity of theflesh. HE extracts the precious from the worthless.

We do the opposite; we take the trash and see whats left.

BUT, if we spoke to the treasure in people, that treasure will move to the surface of their lives, frothe hidden to the obvious.

When people see their own worth, they get rid of their own carnality

Lets not allow our view of the worthless obscure that which is precious about a person

Now, when we see ourselves as God sees us, we automatically start seeing others differently.

If we look at a particular person very carefully, we will find the treasure God has put in that personIt is there, somewhere. We just have to keep looking.
