It is important to understand that you cannot just do some of these and leave the others undone. You should aim for complete obedience. – Matthew 23:23, Luke 11:42, 2 Corinthians 10:5-6
Notes:
God is ever faithful and unchanging. It is man that can be unfaithful and changing. God is faithful to His Word and His righteous character. It is never a problem on God’s side of the equation – it is always a problem on man’s side. – Malachi 3:6, 2 Timothy 2:13
Not everything that happens is the work of God. Many times things go wrong because of the failure (unfaithfulness or carelessness) of man, the brokenness of a sinful world and/or the work of the devil. – 1 Peter 5:8
We enter into spiritual breakthrough (overcoming the flesh, the world and the devil) by actively dwelling in the secret place of the Most High. – Psalm 91:1
