abstain from those things that war against your own life now if you had somebody who was Waring against you you’d avoid that person somebody’s coming to kill you you’d avoid that person so why would it have to tell you to avoid things that are Waring against your life because of this messed up thing the enemy [Music] uses this is going to be a word that I believe is very practical very important very practical very much a key for victory in God it says therefore since we are surrounded by so great a crow cloud of
witnesses to just it’s just everything it just spoke about Hebrews 11 about by Faith by Faith by faith therefore since we are surrounded by that let us lay aside that every encumbrance every hindrance and the sin that so easily entangles us so a little encouragement this is here these are the first generation the generation of the Apostle and they’re saying listen we all deal with sin and we all deal with sin that easily entangles us but let us put it away so we can run the race set before us how looking to him looking to him and
a key is right there in that verse it says for the joy set before him how did he do it in the Physical Realm and in in physics there is a law that when you are beginning an action a that which which can translate to well I’ll start just with an action you’re starting your car and or say you’re pushing a car the hardest part is the beginning to get something that’s not in Motion in motion that’s the hard to start a new motion that’s the hardest thing to do in fact your car knows it because that’s why your car has
different gears when you when you start a car when you start moving it’s not in fourth gear it’s in first gear fourth gear could never move it first gear is putting the most energy into the smallest amount of space you need more strength at the beginning you need more power per inch as you then it goes into second third fourth then when you’re on the highway you don’t need a lot of power per inch it goes into a different kind of gear well that that’s part of the law of motion that if you’re starting something it is harder at the
beginning than it is once you get going you know you’re sitting on a couch it’s harder to get up when you’re not moving and now I got to get up and do this when you but not just physically I mean you see how you have a big boulder physically big boulder to get that moving it’s hard but once it starts rolling it gets easier so that’s true with everything you want to do you want to do a new thing a new action a new thing in your walk you want Victory where you didn’t have Victory to do something new you want to well you need
more power at the beginning to start something new a change a new Direction a Breaking of a habit it takes more energy cuz you have no momentum you have no inertia you have no habit behind it you have no thought you have no record record of Victory behind it no momentum or the inverse is true as well you want to stop a ball from Rolling you want to stop a car from moving it’s hardest to do it when when you want to stop it and change it so so the thing is that because you have momentum you want to stop a habit you’ve got momentum the
wrong you got bad momentum you have habits that are bad they has all has years of momentum so it’s still to make that change you have to be more powerful you have to have more power at the moment of change you need more power more support more that and one of the keys most important keys of that act of that momentum of change of victory of turning down sin that you’ve been giving into going against a fear that you’ve been given into is here is the power of Joy one of the most powerful secrets of changing your way changing your act the
P beginning something new look what it says here it says run the race that is set before you looking to him who endured the cross endured the cross imagine the cross imagine what he endured physical pain having Nails driven through your hands or your wrists and your feet and being suspended by the nails of the weight of your body against the nails imagine the pain being but even the other pain being separated from from the father because he’s bearing our judgment your judgment that what’s our judge hell it’s like an eternity of
