Who’s Table Are You Eating From? | Week 1 | Cares of the World Series

We have been trained by systems that enslave us to a lesser kingdom.

and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

I John 4:3-4 NKJV

God gave us a spirit of adoption:

  1. Brought us into a new family which will reshape the way we live and love each other.
  2. Grow in maturity and actively bring the Kingdom of God to bear in the areas where we have influence.

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.

Romans 8:15-17 NKJV

But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire And like launderers’ soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the Lord An offering in righteousness.

Malachi 3:2-3 NKJV

  • Jesus withholds his (weight) out of mercy because of the mixture in our lives.
  • He begins to cleanse us so that we can handle the weight of His glory shining through us.

Refiners fire: Comes to burn off things that distract us form Him and our purpose in him

Who’s table are you eating from?

  • The table you sit at the most is the family that you resemble the most.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.

1 Corinthians 10:21;23 NKJV

  • The table represents consumption, what you consume you become.
