ENEMIES OF PRAISE {PART 2}

1. Number one enemies we’re going to be looking at is holding on to past. Isaiah 43 : 18-19{ Isa 43:18 Forget what happened long ago! Don't think about the past.

Isa 43:19 I am creating something new. There it is! Do you see it? I have put roads in deserts, streams in thirsty lands. }

John 8: 3-11 {Joh 8:3 The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses brought in a woman who had been caught in bed with a man who wasn't her husband. They made her stand in the middle of the crowd.

Joh 8:4 Then they said, "Teacher, this woman was caught sleeping with a man who isn't her husband.

Joh 8:5 The Law of Moses teaches that a woman like this should be stoned to death! What do you say?"

Joh 8:6 They asked Jesus this question, because they wanted to test him and bring some charge against him. But Jesus simply bent over and started writing on the ground with his finger.

Joh 8:7 They kept on asking Jesus about the woman. Finally, he stood up and said, "If any of you have never sinned, then go ahead and throw the first stone at her!"

Joh 8:8 Once again he bent over and began writing on the ground.

Joh 8:9 The people left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally, Jesus and the woman were there alone.

Joh 8:10 Jesus stood up and asked her, "Where is everyone? Isn't there anyone left to accuse you?"

Joh 8:11 "No sir," the woman answered. Then Jesus told her, "I am not going to accuse you either. You may go now, but don't sin anymore."

Joh 8:12 Once again Jesus spoke to the people. This time he said, "I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won't be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life." }

2.Eye mindedness: is the condition where you see everything below expectation. Psalm 131 : 1-3 { Psa 131:1 (A song by David for worship.) I am not conceited, LORD, and I don't waste my time on impossible schemes.

Psa 131:2 But I have learned to feel safe and satisfied, just like a young child on its mother's lap.

Psa 131:3 People of Israel, you must trust the LORD now and forever. }

Eye mindedness is a great enemy of praise because you will never see anything good in what God has done.
