23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.  

SERMON:
More Than Your Next Breath!
George Mueller, a Christian Evangelist who established and directed orphans and cared for 10,024 orphans.  His biggest reason for building the orphan homes was to be a witness, a visible demonstration of the faithfulness of God for providing for all His children.  
George Mueller quote:  
"Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man's power ends.”
‘Rejoice always.' people who are always content no matter what is happening around them.  They know that God is in control.
'Pray without ceasing.'  some prayers are answered immediately, and others require a prolonged season of prayer.  Jesus prayed more earnestly in the Garden of Gethsemane; the early church prayed for greater boldness.
When you pray, do you pray for the Lord’s will to be done in your own life?  Do you ask Him to change you to be more like Jesus or do you simply go to Him with your shopping list?
'In everything give thanks...'   Watch and see the goodness of the Lord and be thankful to Him! 
'Do not quench the Spirit.'  When we have doubt; When we resist the Holy Spirit’s conviction of sin; When we fail to love others as Christ loves, we quench the Spirit.
'Do not despise prophecies.'  If we fail to give heed to prophecy, we invite our own peril.
Matthew 16: 1-3  Jesus rebukes the Pharisees
Matthew 24  Read the entire chapter about end times prophesies
Luke 21: 25-28
'Test all things; hold fast what is good.'  Where is the truth?  Test all things through the power of God’s Word and the leading of His Holy Spirit.
'Abstain from every form of evil.'  Anything that is not of Christ is evil because it takes our attentions away from Him who gives us life.  
'May the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely.'  God wants to sanctify, to set you apart to a sacred and holy purpose!  
Habakkuk 1: 5
'He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.'  God does what He promises He will do!!  Always!!  In every situation!!  He will do it!!  
Are the cares of this world choking out the things of God in your life? 
What takes YOUR breath away?  Is your own desire for Jesus greater than your own desire for your next breath?  God alone is awesome and is doing an astounding work today!
In Jesus that we find our joy, our contentment and our peace!

‘It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy Christian is a powerful vessel in the hand of God.’

BENEDICTION:
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
1st Thessalonians 5: 16-28   NKJV 
Lord, make us more like you, to be people who seek to hear from you and to be obedient to your will in our lives.  In Jesus name, Amen!
