August 27, 2017, Sunday morning

KEEP ON KEEPING ON
Ezekiel 2:1-10
Ezekiel 3:3

The call of Ezekiel into the ministry
Divine call from God
Spirit speaks, and gives him his specific assignment

One of the greatest obstacles to serving the Lord is discouragement

This is what we’ve got to do if you’re going to keep on keeping on…


1…STAND UP

Stand up for Jesus Christ

Verse 1

Fell on his face…good thing…humble thing
But God picks them up

Over 80 times in Ezekiel, he’s refered to as son of man
Speaks of his humanity


This will keep you from burning out…
·       When you understand it’s not you doing something for the Lord
·       The Lord doing something in you
·       The Lord doing something thru you


2 Cor 4:7
We have this treasure in earthen vessels…



2…REMAIN FAITHFUL

God hasn’t called you to be successful
He’s called you to be faithful


When Jesus called his disciples…very up front with them
Matthew 10:8
·       Heal the sick
·       Cast out demons
·       Raise the dead
·       Cleanse lepers
·       Preach the gospel


  • Going to be like lambs thrown into the wolves
  • Kick you out of the Synagogue
  • Family is going to turn on you
  • Hated for the sake of Jesus



3…DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED
Lost people will try to intimidate you
Saved people will try also

Verse 6
3 times…do not be afraid of them


4…THRIVE SPIRITUALLY

Verse 8
This is the Word of God given by his own hand


By perseverance and perseverance alone, the snail made it on the ark!
