The FLOT Line Show

Don’t dwell on your past failures. If you’re still alive, God has a plan for you. “I forgot those things that are behind me and I reach forth to the things which are in front” (Phil 4:13). Rebound, stay filled with the Holy Spirit and press on toward the prize. “I press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:14). The prize is hearing the Lord say, “Well done, My good and faithful servant.” The Christian life is lived one day at a time. Press toward the finish line by “growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” and applying what you learn. As you learn God’s Word and as the Holy Spirit uses it in your life, this conforms you to the image of Jesus Christ. This is the mark you are pressing toward.

Giving is an attitude toward the Lord and can be an expression of grace toward others. It depends on your understanding of Scripture and being well-motivated. “And not even as we anticipated, but they gave first of themselves to the Lord. Then they gave to us by the will of God” (2 Col 8:5). If you give money—which is the right thing—but it's done in the wrong way it will not glorify God. First, you must be filled with the Holy Spirit when you give. What you give is a matter of the privacy of your priesthood related to the Word of God. Tithing is not relevant in this dispensation. Giving is an expression of worship and it commemorates the grace of God in your life. “Give to the degree determined by means of what God has given to us, not from the distress of our mind [emotions]. God loves the well-motivated believer” (2 Cor 9:7). Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/giving-transcript-019887

Worry and fear are sins and won’t help you handle adversity. "Do not be anxious for your life" (Matt 6:25). This is a mandate from God. Worry is self-centered emotionally driven fear. Faith is the absence of fear. “In God I will put my trust and I will not be afraid of what man can do to me” (Ps 56:11). Faith, is you claiming God’s promises. Without faith-rest, you will have stress in your life. If you orient to God’s will and plan for your life then you will focus on how God uses adversity in your life. Wake up and realize that without Christ you have no control over your existence. “Many are the plans in man’s heart but it is the Lord’s purpose that always prevails” (Prov 19:21).

Emotions are an enemy of the Christian. God gives you mentality. You don’t have to let your emotions control your life. Emotions react. Thinking responds. You have a choice. Controlling your emotions is a wonderful thing. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). Humility is required to be successful in life. Arrogant people never have it. They are full of self-justification and this is very dangerous because it leads to self-deception. It is critical you understand the plan of God and it starts with “We have the mind of Christ” (1 Cor 2:16). Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/emotions-transcript-e3c462

Many hear the Word of God but never apply it. “Be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only” (James 1:22). Being a hearer only means you fail to metabolize what you hear. You’ll lose the blessing of God when you hear and don’t apply truth and you’ll never establish a FLOT line in your soul. The doer of the Word of God replaces human viewpoint with divine viewpoint thinking. The Word of God is streaming in his mentality like a river flowing through his soul and he can easily recall and apply it in his life. Being a doer of the Word starts with what you think. “A doer of the Word will be blessed in what he does” (James 1:25). Analyze yourself from the objectivity of the Word of God that you’ve heard, learned, metabolized and stored in your soul. Click for Full Transcript https://rhem.pub/hearer-doer-f13e1a

What think ye of Christ? To believe in Jesus Christ and receive Him as your personal Savior is the greatest decision you could ever make. You don’t have any guarantee you will be alive tomorrow so don’t delay another minute if you haven’t his most important decision on where you will spend eternity—heaven or the Lake of Fire. God has a process for living the Christian way of life and you need to learn the process. You will have shame at the Judgment Seat of Christ if you do right things in the wrong way and if you misrepresent Jesus Christ to the world. “So that when He appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him” (1 John 2:28). The key is staying filled with the Holy Spirit. If you have unconfessed sin in your life you are producing human good. God can’t allow human good in heaven. Without the filling of the Holy Spirit, you can’t glorify God. Click for Full Transcript https://rhem.pub/winner-loser-1d7280

You cannot give to God what you do not have. You cannot worship God unless you come through the Lord Jesus Christ and are filled with the Holy Spirit. “For there is one God and one mediator also between God and men, Christ Jesus” (1 Tim 2:5). “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24). True worship comes from what you have learned about Him as taught accurately from the truth of His Word, the Bible. Worship is based on thought, not emotion. This is a warning about not understanding God and His mandates. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6). Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/true-worship-c10e2c

Satan wants to lead you away from God’s plan, distract you from the Word of God, and make you think you’re doing wonderful things for God because you’re busy at work in the energy of the flesh. If you are in carnality (unconfessed sins in your life) thinking with a human viewpoint instead of a divine one, you are vulnerable to Satan’s leading. How do you know if Satan is trying to lead you? You will be tempted to ignore divine precedents of the Christian life; compromise your core beliefs (found in the Bible); justify yourself; fulfill your lusts; or seek revenge. “Do not be unwise but understand what is the will of the Lord” (Eph 5:17).

Satan and his system of evil will tempt you to ignore the divine precedence of the Christian way of life which is learning and using God’s problem-solving devices. As our Lord Jesus Christ did, you need to counter the temptations by staying filled with the Holy Spirit and using the Word of God. As God-man, Christ didn’t do anything you can’t do. He used the unique divine resources God the Father gave him. There is a place God wants you to be (where you can grow and serve Him). There is something He wants you to think (with the mind of Christ). There is something He wants you to do (to glorify Him). When you grow in grace and knowledge you will glorify God to the maximum and be a weapon in the angelic conflict. Or you can do it your way, not God’s way, and be lion bait. “Satan goes around like a lion seeking who he can devour” (1 Pet 5:8).

With the filling of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God in your soul, you can defeat Satan. But without it, you’re powerless. The Holy Spirit is the engine and the Word of God is the fuel He uses to power the engine. The Lord may give you evidence testing before you get to heaven. God will call you to the witness stand and you will have to go it alone. As God-man our Lord depended on the Holy Spirit and the power of God’s Word exactly the same way we are to live the Christian life and prepare for Going It Alone. “It is written man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Deut 8:3). Keep your eyes on the Lord to withstand the lures of Satan’s world. Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/going-alone-8a3fc

There will come a time when God asks you to go it alone, in evidence testing. To be prepared for this testing, you must “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior” (2 Pet 3:18). Jesus used the ministry of the Holy Spirit and Scripture to pass His testing, which you need to do also. Jesus Christ cut the template for us to be Christ-like. We can live as He lived in the devil’s world. The Holy Spirit prepared the Lord Jesus Christ for 30 years before He began His public ministry. The greater the impact, the more time is needed to prepare. God will bless you in time and in eternity when you honor Him and His plan. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Word shall not pass away” (Matt 24:35).

We all have failures, frustrations, and flaws. Some flaws are inherited and some are acquired. The key is to deal with sin. Confess your sin to God, move on, and don’t look back. “Forgetting those things which are behind me, I reach forward to those things which are ahead” (Phil 3:13). Let go of the past—guilt is a sin. If you are a Christian, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done, God will forgive you. If you fail to adhere to God’s protocol and procedures and go off down the My Way Highway it’s inevitable you’ll have problems in your life and you’ll miss the plan of God for your life. Failing spiritually means not advancing, not growing. Live the spiritual life and you can overcome the past. “Happiness belongs to those people who hear My Father’s Word and keep it” (Luke 11:27-28).

Satan would love to put doubt, anger or resentment in your mind related to some tragedy you’ve endured. “The devil goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour” (1 Pet 5:8). You might not understand why things happen but you need to understand God has made provisions for you to have confidence and courage in the face of adversity. God knows what is happening to you. Put your trust in Him. “No circumstances have come upon you that is not common to man and with those circumstances, God always provides a way out” (1 Cor 10:13). Glorify God in your adversity knowing it teaches patience, breeds integrity, and gives you confidence in the Lord. “Stand still and watch what God is about to do” (Ex 14:13). Stand still and trust in God’s promises and provisions. Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/put-trust-9dfdc3

Being miserable is a choice. A miserable attitude is self-induced. Satan’s myth is that circumstances or people will make you happy. This isn’t true! The Bible says, “Blessed [happy] are those who hear the Word of God and keep it” (Luke 11:28). The plan of God overrides all heartaches in life. “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ; be steadfast" (1 Cor 15:57-58). Soul contentment and capacity for life come from the spiritual life. You can escape a miserable life by investing time in learning God’s Word. “Godliness [the mature spiritual life] is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment” (1 Tim 6:6).

Jesus Christ, when He lived on this earth, knew and used Scripture for deliverance from the temptations of Satan. That’s what we must do also. Learning Bible doctrine, the promises, principles and procedures found in the Word of God and applying them is the problem-solving device of doctrinal orientation. God’s Word has to be learned and applied for you to get sustainable energy critical to living the Christian way of life. “Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the Word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15). Study and Grow are mandates from God. If you aren’t studying the Word of God and growing, you are sinning. The Bible is a textbook and is designed by God to be taught to you. Sometimes we confuse ourselves because we substitute ritual for reality or emotion for content. “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Cor 4:33). Studying under the authority of a well-qualified pastor is key to getting it straight and to growing to spiritual maturity. Your maturity is based on the content of the Word of God in your soul.

Hell exists. It’s a place where unbelievers go after death awaiting the Great White Throne of Judgment. Unbelievers are those who chose to not believe in Jesus Christ and rejected Him as their Savior. They will be judged for this sin and cast into the Lake of Fire to live forever in darkness and pain. The Lake of Fire is much worse than hell—it is eternal burning. “Death and hell delivered up the dead that were in them and they were judged, every man according to their deeds. Then death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Rev 20:13-15). God does not want anyone to go to hell. “This is the will of the One that sent Me, that you believe in Me whom You have sent” (John 6:29). The choice is yours—heaven or hell and then the Lake of Fire. Don’t wait another minute to make the most important decision of your life. “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” (Acts 16:31) Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/hell-transcript-b35729

Hell is real. Hell is a holding place for those who chose to reject Jesus Christ as their Savior—the unbelievers, the unrighteous. “He that knew no sin was made sin for us that we may be made the righteousness of God through Him” (2 Cor 5:21). Hell is the place where they await the Great White Throne of Judgment before being cast into the Lake of Fire. Hell was prepared for Satan and his angels, not us. “God is not willing that any should perish” (2 Pet 3:9). If you want to avoid the Lake of Fire, then “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom 10:13).

“Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God” (Rom 10:17). To have faith-rest you need to know God’s Word. For faith to have muscles, you must grow spiritually. The faith-rest drill is putting your adversity in God’s hands and standing still. “Stand still and watch what God is about to do” (Ex 14:13). The strength of the Christian life is standing still in God’s grace provisions, mixing God’s promises with faith. Rest in the Lord. He will provide for you. “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28). Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/faith-rest-4d055

The Filling of the Holy Spirit maintains fellowship with God. When you sin you break fellowship with God and that’s why problem-solving device number one, the rebound technique, is so critical to living the Christian way of life. You can’t live it in the power of the flesh, controlled by the sin nature. The only way to live the supernatural Christian life is with the supernatural resources of the empowerment of the filling of the Holy Spirit and the living Word of God in your soul. “The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and He will bring them to your remembrance whatever I have said unto you” (John 14:26). All teaching must be metabolized by the mentorship of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit needs to be in control for you to execute your spiritual life. When the Holy Spirit controls your life, God can use you in spite of your abilities or inabilities. The Holy Spirit makes intercessions on your behalf. “The Holy Spirit helps our infirmities for we don’t even know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Holy Spirit Himself makes intercession for us” (Rom 8:26).

Allowing your sin nature to control your life disqualifies you for service in God’s plan. Your Christian life ceases with unconfessed sin because you’ve quenched the Holy Spirit. You need the power of the Holy Spirit to live the supernatural Christian way of life. Using rebound resolves the problem of sin and restores you to fellowship with God. “If we confess [name] our sin [through silent prayer] He is faithful and just to forgive us and to purify us from all wrongdoing” (1 John 1:9). Simply put, when you bounce out of fellowship with God by committing sin—something you think, say or do—you bounce back by confessing your sin. That's using rebound, God's problem-solving device number one. Click for Full Transcript: https://rhem.pub/rebound-review-ba170
