    What You'll Discover in this Episode:

    In the last episode Pastor Jeff talked about what threatens the church from counseling God's way today. Forsaking our Wonderful Counselor which leads to turning to worldly counsel. The reason the church is unable to counsel according to the will of God is because we have forsaken our Wonderful Counselor. We have turned from our life source and leaned into the deception of the prince of the air, Satan. Instead of receiving our instructions from the heavenly realm, we have turned to the ways of the sin of this world. The church has drifted away from the Word. There needs to be shifting away from worldly wisdom and back to the Word. We need to humbly submit to Christ and return to the Word. 


    God's Word can be implanted into the hearts of those who believe. It can deliver us from sin and bring salvation to our soul. Not only that, but it carries us each day as we strive to live for Him in a fallen world. As we hear the Word be just can't be hearers, but we must be doers of His word. His Word is sufficient if we choose to obedient and live by His Word. As the Lord speaks through His Word, we must be submit to His authority. 


    As we counsel others we must be aware that we are up against psychological theory that has crept in and begins to to plague, bind, wipe out, pull down, distract, swallow up the human family. We can not be swept away by psychological theory. We are complete and lacking in nothing when we turn to Christ and not psychological theory. When we trust in the sufficiency of His Word we are made whole, lacking nothing. Scripture has warned us that we could be driven away and deceived, do not depart from the faith. 


    In this Episode Pastor Jeff talks about the sufficiency of Scripture as our life source, as counselors we must hold His Word as supreme.

    Highlights

    • The church’s failure to counsel God’s way is our failure to look to the Lord Jesus as the Wonderful Counselor.
    • In humility we are to receive the Word of God. God can take His Word, that is that seed of life that He just imparts in speaking to us, and plant it in our hearts.
    • We are to “be doers of the Word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
    • It’s one of my personal convictions that psychological theory is one of the most crafty tactics the enemy ever came up with to plague, bind, wipe out, pull down, distract, swallow up the human family. 
    • We are accountable to the Lord as good stewards of the things He has given to us.
    • Scripture tells us that people will depart from the faith and turn to worldly teachings. 

    Resources:

    • Jeremiah 2:13 For My people have committed two evils:
      They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters,
      And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.
    • 1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
    • James 1:21-22 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls... 
    • Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
    • Romans 15:1 We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
    • 2 Corinthains 11:3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
    •  Ephesians 3:8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
    • 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons
