A Changed Life

Love

Forgiveness

Being Free

*Holy Spirit Weekend

NARRATIVE OVERVIEW

Woman enters uninvited.

She brings perfume.

At dinner, she begins to weep.

Tears, hair, feet, kiss

Pours perfume on His feet

AN AWKWARD SITUATION

Doesn’t He know who she is?

A classic Jesus story – 2 reasonsEmpower the Forgotten/OverlookedAsks a Question

Which one LOVES more?

LUKE 7:44-47

44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."

THE SIMON NARRATIVE

Took his own “stuff” for granted.

Developed a “religious spirit” - assumed he was right!

Forgot the grace of God is for others too!

It really is about “LOVE”.

IT REALLY IS ABOUT LOVE

Greatest commandment (Matthew 22:37)

Embrace it – Do not assume

Sense, Feel, Experience, Know, Enjoy

Being Free

Being Full

WARNING: SIMON’S RELIGIOUS

SPIRIT

“The spirit of religion seeks to substitute religious activity for the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.”

–Rick Joyner

RELIGIOUS SPIRIT

Calculator: keeps track

Evaluator: self and others

Judges: activity, behavior, motives

“Deserves” credit

Limits Freedom…and Love

CAPTURE THE POWER OF A CHANGED LIFE

Experiencing Freedom – Feel it.

Being Full – Feel it.

Love Authentically – Express completely with Abandon.

BEING FREE TO LOVE & BE LOVED

Honestly identify your JUNK.

Being released from your JUNK.

No hiding, no lying, no excuses, no blaming, no whining.

The sense of being free and full.

If you have been forgiven…

If you love authentically…

Then you…Enjoy itExpress itShow it

(with Authentic Abandon)

*A Religious Spirit is never a substitute!

CONCLUSION

It really is about Love…

and being Free!

Unto your hands O God of truth my spirit

I commit



You have redeemed my soul from death and saved me from

the pit



The passions of my hope and fear

maintain a doubtful strife



While sorrow pain and sin conspire to take away my life



I know my days are in your hands though I draw near to dust



You are the God in whom I trust. You

are my refuge



So lift up your voice and sing aloud and praise him all you

saints



How wondrous is his grace

He is our refuge



O make your most beloved face to shine

upon me now



And save me for your mercy's sake for I am

lost without



While in my haste I'm quick to say “Where is your help for me?”



But you attend me when I pray and you have heard my plea







are my refuge




saints




He is our refuge



My heart rejoices in your name my God my help my trust



You have preserved my face from shame my honor from the

dust



Your goodness how divinely free how wondrous is your

grace



To those who fear your majesty and humbly seek your

face







are my refuge




saints




He is our refuge



Live justly

Love mercy

Walk humbly

with your God
